Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1890-12-23
A PECULIAR ARGUMENT.

Although a Constitutional Con-
vention was demanded in the
name Of economy, it seems that it
was convention and no t retrench-
ment that was wanted by the
zealots who would be satisfied
with no method but entire revis-
ion. 1t is now not likely that
there will be convention called,
but every sensible measure of re-
trenchment will be provided for
by amendment. The men who
pay the most taxes and are most
interested in economizing did not
want convention, but they do
want the amendments that will
save money for the State. With
out knowing what they are talk
ing about, some papers that mis-
take a disordered liver for indie
pendence complain OF the condi-
ton Of the State and Ultimate
that those most interested in de-
crea sing taxes are determined to
maintain an expensive system.
The facts are simply that those
who sincerely wish to economic
see that it can be done by amend
ment, and wish to accomplish
their object in that cheap and
certain manner, while those who
want convention do not care a
fig for economy or anything else;
they merely want a convention
Enterprise.
The argument used by the En-
terprise is that tho leading tax
payers do not want a convention.
The vote on the proposition was
not one to decide what the leading
taxpayers wanted, but what a
majority of all the voters wanted.
The vote Of leading taxpayer
counts no more when In a ballot
box than the vote Of a pauper.
The vote shows that majority Of
1876 of all the votes cast was for a
Constitutional Convention. It was
the will Of the people speaking on
election day. Whether they speak
wisely or not, it is not for US to
say, how many have changed
their mind since is none Of our
business, and what the convention
is going to cost also cuts no figure.
The APPEAL has never advocted
a convention and cares very little
whether one is had or not; we are
only pointing out the folly of an
argument that proposes to ignore
a majority of 125 Tor any other
figure for that matter) in a State
election.
It ia bad precedent to estab-
lish and such q precedent ought |
never to be established in this
State.

The Great Napoleon's Foresight.

From the Temple Bar.
Bourrienne tells us how the First Consul,
in his cabinet in Paris, traced the march to
Marengo and laid his finger OH the spot In
the map where he would fight and defeat
the Austrian army-a prodigy of calcula-
ton, IL We recollect the circumstances:
"When he had stationed the enemy's
corps and drawn up the pins with red
heads ON the points where he hoped to
bring his own troops, he said TO me
Where do you think i shall beat Melas p
How the devil do l know" why, look
here, you fool! Melas is at Alessandra
with his headquarters. There he will
remain until Genoa ~surrcnders. He has

pitfalls, his artillery and his reserves.

great Mont st. Bernard. Il shall fall upon
Melas, Gu of his communications with
Austria and meet him here in the plains
