The New Silver Notes.

Designs have been prepared fol
the new silver notes. The notes will
be of eight different denominations,
as follows: One dollar, two dollar
five dollar, ten dollar, twenty dollar
fifty dollar, one hundred dollar and
one thousand dollar. They, will say
on their face that they are redeem
able in coin and on their backs that
they are legal tender for al debts
public and private. The issue OF
these notes to meet the earlier de
mands will be confined to the tens
one hundreds and one thousands
for the reason that it will be impos
sible to print sufficient amount OF
the smaller denominations TO meet
the requirements of the act in the
thirty days intervening before it
takes effect. They will, however, be
printed as rapidly as the facilities OF
the government will permit.

kissing Going Out of Fashion.

In the rural regions of our country, as
well as of England, the favorite amuse-
ment at social gathering of young per-
sons is, or until recently has been, sue
cession of kissing games" wherein the
most modest girl of the company was sa-
luted by every swain who chose, with as
little embarrassment as if he had been
her mother. But even in the rural dis
tricts this sort of thing is passing away,
and the permitted realm of the kiss is
narrowing day by day.-Mrs. Frank Les

The Election.

Ere another issue of the INDEPEND-
ENT greets our readers, the great po-
litical battle will have been fought
and won-or lost. 1t is impossible to
give an intelligent guess as to the
probable result in the State, though
we believe that neither State ticket
will have clear field. So far as the
Governor is concerned, we confidently
look for the election of Theodore
Winters, but even in this we may be
mistaken. However, we are prepared
to accept either success or defeat
with becoming modesty, and after the
battle, in the language OF Scripture,
we shall rejoice with those that do
rejoice, and weep with those that
weep"
The last advice which we have to
offer to the voters of Elko is, as we
have said before, vote for the best
men. Don't be persuaded to place
party above principle in voting Cor
county officers. In casting your votes
for Congressman, we believe that it is
to the interest Of the people who are
in favor of the free coinage of silver
to vote for Geo w. Cassidy.

The Young Folks.

The entertainment given by the
young Peoples Opera Co. at Freeman
Hall Saturday night was witnessed by
q large audience and was highly ap-
preciated. The exercises opened with
an instrumental duet by Mr.. Jake
Engler, violin, and Miss G. Scotchler.
piano, which was fine. Next followed
a chorus by the young folks, then a
pleasing dialogue entitled "The Doc
tors Office, or A Very Inquisitive
Girl" in which the Misses Hattie
Rosenstock, Dora Sheehan, Maud
Gardner, Hattie Clark and Nellie
Ainley, and Masters Joe Taber,
Arthur Mcintosh, Lander Taber, Joe
Harris and Enroll Taber were the
actors. The play was we'll rendered
and highly pleasing to the audience.
The recitation by Miss Ethel Smith
was one of the best performances in
the programme, the little lady playing
the part of the overworked housewife
to perfection. "The Flower of the
Family" farce, created much amuee-
ment, and the character song, by Joe
Taber, brought down the house.
The total receipts of the enterprise
were S60.50, which we trust will in
duce the young people to give us an
other entertainment.

Winters Wins.

The Carson Appeal, the leading Re
publican paper in Nevada, according
to the Examiner, offered prize of
Holstein bull calf, valued at 500, to
the most popular candidate on either
State ticket, to be determined by a
vote of the people which closed on the
last day of October. On canvassing
the vote it was found that the prize
was won by Theodore Winters, Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, who
had lob votes to 48 for Mr.. Colcord,
his opponent. Saturdays Appeal
says:
The Appeal would much rather
have seen Republican win, but the
prize was fairly won and we are pre-
pared to pass it over.
Will U. Mickey, Democratic candi-
date for State Printer, came next with
998 votes to one for Eckley, his OPP
ponent. Cassidy had SO votes to
Bartine's IL. Jones, Republican can
didate for Surveyor-Goneral, had 478
votes which shows that he is among
the popular candidates.
Straws show, etc., and tomorrow,
by vote Of the people of the State,
Theodore Winters will win something
Of more importance than Holstein
bull calf.

Counterfeit Dollars.

There are counterfeit dollars in
circulation. They have an appear
ance fair enough to deceive anybody
who does not pay any particular at

good ring. They are light, however,

date for Clerk of the Supreme Court,

The Virginia Enterprise is opposed
to Constitutional Convention. That
is not to be wondered at, when it is
known that the great corporations, of
which the Enterprise is the champion,
and from which it derives it's support,
is opposed to such a Convention.
This is why the Republican Conven-
ton at Virginia City advised the peo-
pie to ''give the subject some
thought"
The Enterprise acknowledges la
mentable ignorance when it says
"Voters who wish to vote for Con-
stitutional Convention must vote a.
ticket containing the names of candi-
dates for the Legislature" If it is
io ho
faced prevarication. Anyone can
vote for or against such Convention,
and for nothing else; and if the bal
lot conforms in size and texture with
the proclamation of the Commission
ers, it must be counted.
The Enterprise says the Legislature
determines whether there shall be a
Constitutional Convention. Holy
smoke! Does not the Enterprise
know that vote of the people to-
morrow determines whether we shall
have Constitutional Convention or
not? The Democratic tickets are
printed with Constitutional Conven-
ton, yes" thereon. The Republican
Convention advised the people to give
the subject some thought.

evidently taking us for a natural his

that will keep cat from killing
chickens. Our usual mode is to open
the cats mouth as wide as possible,
reach dom her throat far enough to
get good grip on her tail, and then
neatly and suddenly turn her inside
out. Then, if she forgets herself and
eats chicken, the feathers get
tangled up in the fur, and the conven-
ton is unanimously adjourned.

THE SERVICES PENSION.

The attempt to pass service pension
bill is to be renewed in congress this
session. 1t is usually presented and
urged with some persistency. The
claim agents realize the need most
strongly. The great mass of old soldiers
are in good physical condition and COM
Portable circumstances. They are not
calling for pensions. Generous consid-
Grafton will always be had for all that
are in circumstances to call for gov ern-
ment relief, but 1t would be unwise to
force into the beneficiary class those
that have neither disposition nor occasion
to be there. Some honorary mark of
distinction would be far more appropri-
ate, and it is dangerous to overload the
pension rolls. The bill proposed allows
pension for all who were in service
over three months. That is designed,
of course, to take in the 100-days men
of 1864, many of whom did not leave
their states. AS surplus reducer this
measure would be effective, but the
urgency in that direction is likely to be-
come very small.

PROBABLY A JOKE.

Some Of the suffrage ladies see en-
enlargement in the vote of two-thirds
of the North Oak ota senate in favor of
a woman suffrage bill. As the matter
is understood outside of the senate 1t
was a mere freak. the senators presum-
ing, of course, that the house would
kill the bill. Other bills have passed
the senate to meet that fate, but there
are hints thrown out that it may pass
the other house just to teach the sena-
tors lesson. In that event, and the
governor does not veto it, the people
will vote on it next November just as
they will in South Dakota. 1t would be
of interest to see how such a measure
will fare in the popular vote. There are
but few instances where the question
has gone directly to the ballot box. The
more probable event is that the senators
will assure the representatives that it
was only little joke. and the latter
will vote it down.

there is much probability that the Prince
Of Wales and his wife will visit the
United States this spring. If any invi-
tation is requisite there will be the most
cordial one had, especially if he brings
Mrs. WALES and the girls. The boys
are not said TO average very high, but
the young ladies will be convenient to
contrast with the United States produc-
ton. The prince is reputed to be pecu-
liarly fond of pretty women, and he has
hardly seen the best this country affords
When he made his other visit he was
young. and there wasn't much country
this side of Chicago. If he comes to
benefit his health he could not do better
than to spend month OF SO at the Min
nesota lakes. He has learned a good
deal since he was over before, and then
his wife is good deal like Mrs. CLEVE-
