THE CENSUS.

Everybody should assist the census
enumerators. 1t is very important for
the public welfare that the true number
of inhabitants and all the other facts
which the enumerators are required to
ascertain should be obtained and reported
the proper form. Upon the number
i)f Inhabitants, aside from Indians un-
taxed, depends the number Of represen-
tatives We are to send to the legislature
"a very important point sometimes if
those sent are true representatives.
There has Of late years been growing

counties in the state toncrease theirlegis.
lative delegations at the expense of those
of their neighbors; and they would gladly
have made poor old Lincoln one Of their
victims, but for preventing circumstances
which cannot alyay be expected to
exist. Ii the census shows that our pop
ulation has increased, as it certainly
should, rot only will we be able to re.
tain our present strength of numbers in
representation, but We may even increase
it. Therefore, besides the fact that the
census is taken in accordance with the
law of the land, we have our own inte-
rest at stake in the matter. Let |
every one see that his own name and |
those Of his family are set down correctly
and give every other assistance possible
to the enumerators, in order that Lincoln
County may show her full strength.

While working on the southern extern
tension of the L. p. Railway system near
Clover Valley, in this Lincoln County
about the LET. of this month | observed a

The POST on Stewart.

The s. F. Post has the following notice
Of our Junior Senator: Stewart, of Ne
vada, is making John Sherman wear a
hair shirt during the discussion of the
silver question. Stewart is the most
energetic and persistent man in public
life to-day. There is no exhausting him
and he has hide as impervious to de.
nunciation as rubber is to water. More
over, he is in the right on the subject Of
silver, and he will hang on to Sherman
and badger him and wear out his pa.
thence iand strength, and land him in
sick bed with nervous prostration, cold
and self poised as he is. Stewart is a
wonderful old man. In years he is
already patriarch, but in vitality and
spirits he is whole public School at re-
cess time. He is bonanza to the friend
Of silver.
