the misconception under which they are
laboring, the result is painfully evident
in the recent organization of a company
for the purpose OF protection against
Insurers. They choose to anticipate the
payment Of their salaries, but they do
not choose to pay 10 per cent for the
privilege. To use the words OF their
constitution, their object is, ito protect
our members who are compelled to boz
row money from time to time, and to
keep them out Of the hands of
the 1O-per- cent brokers, and to nego-
tiate loans for them at the
smallest possible percentage" It
is further provided that the organiza-
ton shall consist of not more than 800
members. Members shall not be charged
more than 2 per cent on any moneys
loaned to or borrowed through said or
ganization, and no one shall borrow at
any time more than $3.50. The presi-
dent and secretary shall not approve any
members note for more than the above
named amount. Any member borrow
ing money through the organization
and failing to honor his note without
lawful and legal excuse, shall be ex-
PEELED and the sum of 81 assessed from
each member shall go to save any note
from being protested" Arrangements
it is added, have been made with several
banks to handle the notes of the mem
bers Of the association. II the employees
of the government in our own city and
other western points, where prices rule
considerably above those in the east
are able, as they are, to live on and save
money from their incomes, gaining
thereby the esteem and respect Of the
community, it is hard to believe that q
little judicious retrenchment and econ.

si,y for the creation of any such com.
pany as this most recent launch al

PURITY IN POLITICS.

Inc aDleSL young pulplG OTdIoI III 1llls
country is DR.. Thomas Dixon, Jr., Of
New York City. Like Henry Ward
Beecher he is gifted with command OF
vigorous English, which, however, would
be useless If he lacked the courage to
express his opinions. That this is a
striking feature in his character has
been repeatedly shown in his attacks
upou the social shams and popular fal-
lacies of the day. He has placed his
name in the front rank of preachers
without resorting to the tricks OF sensa-
tionalsm.
The subjoned paragraphs from re-
cent interview with Senator Ingalls,
furnished text for DR., Dixon few
Sundays ago. Mr.. Ingalls, said, among
other things:
''The decalogue and the golden rule have
no place in a political campaign. Their
object is success.
'"This modern cant about corruption of
politics is fatigueing in the extreme. 1t
proceeds from the tea custard and sylla-
hub dilettanteism, the frivolous and desul-
tory sentimentalism of epicenes.
Patronage will allure the ambitious,
force will coerce the timid, demagoRism
will gull the credulous, fraud will rob the
weak, money will pay the mercenary."
In reply to this FURNISHED cynicism
DR.. Dixon says:
.'All have to say to this is that the man
who does not believe in purity is impure.
The man who does not believe in honesty
ia dishonest. The man who does not be-
ieve in truth is a liar. The nation was
founded on the Decalogue and the Ten Com
mandments. The men who landed at
Plymouth Rock landed on their knees
The foundations of this republic were cut
from the quarry of Gods eternal granite
Its foundation stones we're laid in cement
made with the tears and blood of Christian
men and women. The man who has outgrowr
the Decalogue and the Golden Rule has out
grown his usefulness in this nation
The usefulness of Mr.. Ingalls, in the
United States senate is matter of con
siderable doubt. Instead of making ;
reputation as valuable legislator, n
has devoted his time to the construction
of unusual phrases. These, as in the
above interview, are often noticeable FOL
the absence of sense. Mr.. Ingalls, might
as we'll say that that the decalogue anc
golden rule have no business in churches
because an occasional Sunday schoo
treasurer leaves for Canada. Politics
can be made pure, politicians can be
honest and political campaigns can be
conducted fairly, even though success
be the object. In the right meaning o.
the word, there is no nobler work II
which a man can engage than politics
It is tho study Of national welfare. Jus
why the decalogue and golden rul'
should be eliminated from the work of
political campaign is not explained b,
the senator from Kansas. Possibly h
had in mind his own election to tn
United States senate when thes
thoughts were expressed. The troubl
with John James Ingalls, is that in tn
tortuous anxiety of word hunting h
loses the little respect which he Nigh
otherwise command. Personality is
very good thing, even in an unusual DE-
gree, when possessed by the right maj
It becomes offensive when raised aboy
personal honesty and self respect.

A Promising Institution.

The Trades and Labor assembly OF the

Since its inception it has been steadily

from the fact that it curbs the rash and
impetuous within its own ranks, yet is ever

clash between two extremes. In fact, to
sum up briefly, its objects are to prevent
any condition of affairs that would deprive
the workingman from enjoying the conso-
lation of knowing that he has loaf in the
cupboard and his family provided fol-
in regard to schooling and clothing.
The conditions aimed at by this institution
would do more to maintain order in COM
munity than an army of Pinkertons.
A workingman with a full cupboard
last in the list to disturb the capitalist in
the serene enjoyment of his wealth.

Advertising a Lottery.

The Carson Appeal publishes a
lottery advertisement Of about eight
inches in length. The Tribune says:
"Fhe Appeal deties the law and runs
a lottery advertisement" The APP
peal, in running the lottery adj, does
not violate the law any more than
does the paper which advertises a
rattle, as nearly every paper in the
State has done, for tho law makes it
misdemeanor to advertise any lot
tory, which the statutes define to be
"any scheme for the disposal or dis
tribution of property by chance,
whether called lottery, rattle or gift
enterprise, or by whatever name the
same may be known"
The penalty for any violation of
this statute is fine not exceeding
five hundred dollars, or by imprison-
ment in the county Jail for any term
not exceeding six months, or by both
such fine and imprisonment. The
paper which advertises any kind of
a device for the distribution of money
or property by lot or chance is liable
to the same punishment, even though
it be rattle at a church fair.

The Future.

Notwithstanding the severity of the
past Winter and the unprecedented
loss of stock in consequence, we con-
slider the general outlook for Nevada
much more promising than it was
four months ago. The great amount
Of snow which has fallen insures an
abundant water supply, and the fact
that the ground was not frozen when
the first heavy snow fell is greatly to
the advantage Of the country, for the
reason that as the snow melts the
moisture sinks into the earth instead
OF running off in torrent, as it would
have done had the ground been froz-
en-. Four months ago the whole
country was parched by drought and
it was evident that another dry year
would be death blow to every indus
try in the State; but now tho whole
surface Of the earth is SO completely
saturated with moisture that no fears
are entertained of another dry Sum
mer, and the masses of snow in the
mountains will furnish an unlimited
supply of water for irrigation, so that
bountiful crops Of grain and hay are
sure to reward the labors OF the farm
or. Had the past Winter been mild
one with light snow fall, the pros
pect for the future would have been
gloomy indeed, for another Summe r
like that Of last year would have,
practically, ruined the country; hence
we say that notwithstanding the loss
es Of stock the outlook for the future
is much more promising than it was
four months ago.

The answer is simple; it cannot be
done. The cardboard can be cut so
that twill make figure 5x13 inches,
equal to e5 square inches, but the adj.
ditional square inch Of surface is not
added to the cardboard, for that can
not be increased, but it will be found

The feeling which used to prevail in

prevails no more. Even England her.
sell Is witnessing each day growth OF
Protection sentiment within her borders
that astonishcs her, and her greatest
economists arc beginning 10 take very
gloomy view OF the situation. Even Mr..
Gladstone admits some things TINT,
although ho could not help but admit
them, the most faithful worshippers at
the Free Trade shrine arc unwilling to
concede. Mr.. Gladstone was frank
enough 10 acknowlc dye that Free Trad.
ers In England arc forced to recognize,
with great disappointment, how much
ground they have lost in the past
quarter Of century. The IRON Gaittst,
commenting on the situation, says:
"Alilitarism, which lieu like a vampire
over Europe, Is responsible for much Of
the mischief, but not for all, because free
trade has reccdcd in countries where
militarism does not prevail, in the
United States and in the British Colo
MES. Protection is applied now In
America, not only to goods, bu! to per-
sons, as Is instanced by the treatment OF
the Chinese. The great republic has
never accepted the doctrines OF free
trade. At one time there was kind Of
qualified progress toward them, but this
being checked, opinion has become actu.
ally retrogressive. Still, the growing
strength, activity and clearness OF con.
yiction Of the free.trade American party
give favorable promise Of ultimate tri.
umph at the polls. On looking over the
world, the prospects OF free trade are
certainly not encouraging. In this dole.
iul wise the great British statesman adj

the warming, cheering sunbeam OF hope
and courage from the irigid emerald Gu.
cumber OF admitted defeat and retro.
erosion. These be troublous days for
