The Boss Rule.

The Reno Gazette has the following.
which is applicable to other counties be-
sides Washoe:
The indications are that washoe's ring
has got 10 take q back seat, for the people
are fully alive to the fact that they have
had their own way too long already.
Every two years the sam old gang crop
up and dictate the policy Of politics, and
they do not care q whit who suffers 80
long as they accomplish their ends. The
Gazette has lsbored long and faithfully to
break up and put an end 10 the jobbery
that has been practiced for years OF which
taxpayers have known about, but had
sooner submit TO the wrong than make q
fuss.
The Gazette has made the fuss, and we
stand by our record, and Washoe political
bosses have got 10 step down and out.
We do not wish 10 be understood as trying
10 any way TO dictate 70 the people who
they shall elect or who they shall not, but
in the interest Of good government We
most emphatically protest against the boss
rule. Let the people have q word TO say
and we will get better men In Office and
have better aud more economical govern
ment than II matters are run 10 tie inter.

Census Enumerators.

Geo. s. Lammon, Supervisor Of the
Census in Nevada, while at Washington
recently, endeavored unsuccessfully 70 get
money to pay e~numerators, who have not
yet been paid for their work. The Enter
prise says the work Of the enumerstors ia
rough and incomplete, and she result is
anything but satisfactory to Uncle Sam,
who has sent his pupils back 10 their les
sons. The blanks have not been filled In
proper form; the supplemental schedule
has been entirely ignored, the death re-
cord left out and other matters omitted
which should have been supplied under
ihe contracts. The enuperators are in
receipt OF letters calling upon them to I'LL
up the chinks and cracks in their reports,
and when the work is completed they will
receive their pay.

Clever Engineering.

IDENTIFY manipulating our silver market on
an extensive scale. When silver prices
were the highest. English importers for
several weeks did not take an ounce from
us. In the week ending September 18th,
whom prices we're much lower, they sud
denly ordered 81 ,000. 900 worth OF silver
from New York. In the following week
they took nearly $500. 900. Last week
they did not take q cent. II looks like

ONLY THE EIRsT STEP.

The anti-lottery bill, which the Presi-
dent promptly signed, excludes the Lou
isiana Lottery absolutely from the mails.
This Is the next step in suppressing the
ase Of interstate commerce by the lottery
company, but II is not the last that can
be taken. II the lottery company turns
from the postofice to the express COM
panies for the Transmission OF its tick
cts and its receipts, Congress has
full Constitutional power to follow
the lottery company there. 1t can
prohibit any express company from
carrying . ticket or Q money package
for any lottery company across q State
line. Congress can prohibit any bank
from cashing q draft from another State
for . lottery company, for q draft Is 81 in
strument Of interstate m and
absolutely under the control Of Congress
when ID chooses 10 exercise lite power.
This power will be exercised II the lot
terry company continues Its foul work.
Federal justice, the Louisiana Lottery
Company may as well know, has come to
stay. The company may here and there
buy q State, corrupta Legislature, or de-
bauch the press Of a great city, as IL has
in New Orleans. But 10 cannot buy the
American people, II cannot elude Federal
law, drug the conscience OF the American
people, or debsuch its press. Its doom 10
certain. and Congress will go on passing
law after law until this villainy is driven
from our borders and its pollution ex-

ABOUT SCHOOL rRUsrEEs.

Some time ago the Carson Tribune re-
ferred to The manner OF selecting School
Trustees and also the great importance Of
the position. Several papers Of the State
have taken up the subject matter and rec
commended extreme caution In puttiog
persons on she ticket merely as 9 sort OF
peace Offering TO keep them In the party.
This has been frequently done and hence
some country schools have not received
proper supervision. A School Trustee
should be a man OF ordinary ability and
judgment; he should have no other aim
than to provide for the proper accomods-
ton OF the children and the efficiency Of
those selected for teachers and TO that end
should thoroughly understand the educa-
tionsl system.
1t does not do for members Of conven-
ions or leaders OF political parties to say:
"Well, there's so-and so who should have
recognition; he likes notice and position,
so we will make him School Trustee"
That such has been too much the custom
no one will care to deny, and all must
admit that no Office in the gift OF the peo-
pie is more important than the one which
directs the affairs OF the grand bulwark Of
the Nation, the public schools.
Comforting such IN Office should be
looked on as q great honor not only by
the recipients but the whole community,
especially so il men Of education and
honorary position should entitle the &C.
oupsnts 10 general respect. II is to be
hoped that our remarks may receive due
consideration in every educational pre-
cinct OF the State, and that conventions
particularly will realize the urgent hsSes-
atty Of selecting men IN every respect
qualified for the very important position.

SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Great Improvement will be found IN
tea and coffee if they are kept in glass
fruit jars instead of tin boxes.
A teaspoonful of borax added to cold
starch will make clothes sitter than any
thing else ever tried, though 1t adds no
polish.
Equal parts Of ammonia and turpell-
tine will take paint out Of clothing, even
if it be hard and dry. Saturate the spot
as often as necessary, and wash out in
soapsuds.
Confectioner's sugar is very fine
powdered sugar, called by the trade
xxx. For all candy creams, icings,
sherbets, and sweets in general, this
sugar is preferable to either cut loaf or
granulated, and its cost is about equal
When the glass globes of chandeliers
have become smoked and grimy, SOAK
them in hot water to which a little sal
coda has been added. Then put some
ammonia into hot water, enter the globes
and scrub briskly with a stiff brush.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
Put dishes, tumblers and other glass
articles into kettle, cover them entirely
with cold water, and put the kettle where
it will soon boil. When it has boiled a
few minutes, set it aside covered close.
When the water is cold take out the
glass. This process will harden the ar
ticles SO that they will not be SO easily
broken.

THE BIG DEMAND FOR HOUSES
News From the Hills-The Ore and Bullion
0utput-Sales of Some Prominent
Idaho Properties.

There have been several important bust
ness moves in Salt Lake during the week
ust passed. Various enterprises have
been inaugurated, as will have been noticed
from perusal of THE HERALD's columns.
Nothing but the present unsettled weather
prevents the biggest building boom ever
been in the west
1t is now stated that the new bank, re-
gently organized by home people, will in
crease its capital stock to 100000.
Various Industries and new business
firms are daily inaugurated, and among
the most important that have sprung into
existence of late is the stone saving
plant, which will do much towards increas-
ing the beauty of the buildings to be here
after erected, by increasing the supply of
fine stone in this market.
The building of the Hotel Ontario, on
West Temple street, is now said to be an
assured fact and this will afford another
substantial evidence that Salt Lakers have
faith in Salt Lake. This faith will beget
faith in outside capital, which must, ere
long, flow in steady stream this way.
The phenomenal real estate sales show
no signs of diminution; on the contrary,
there is steady increase daily,
which is all the more satisfactory because
Of the absence of any wild rush or craze.
Business during the week just past has
been remarkably good; the effects of the
election excitement are no longer felt, and
trade has resumed the even tenor of its
way.
The demand for houses, both for resi-
dences and business purposes, is still
greater than the supply, and the merchants
and others who are compelled to vacate the
premises they have occupied for so long, in
order to make room for handsome business
blocks, find the utmost difficulty in getting
new location. AS result, rents are al
most daily increasing, and many
tenants have been driven to
the Easements Of the larger bust
ness blocks. Especially is this true of the
BARRIERS and small tradesmer, while rea
estate men are quite content to perch on {
third or fourth floor, providing there is al
elevator attached to the building.
The produce market is very lively. al
dealers reporting an excellent business.
Although partial holiday, there was {
very good retail trade yesterday.
