NEGLECTED NEVADA.

Poor Nevads gets grandly left by the
Harrison Administration. Jones and
Stewart have not influence enough with
il TO get an inferior clerkship in any OF
the great Departments at Washington,
where thousands are employed from all
the States. Nevada has never received
. single crumb from Harrison. He re-
fused to enter the State while on the
Coast, and then refused to receive the
self-appointed delegation who disgraeed
themselves and the State by trying to
force themselves upon him at the Palace
Hotel in San Francisco. Metaphorically
speaking, he booted them down the back
stairs, as they richly deserved to have
been treated. But the hostility OF the
Administration towards Nevada does not
stop at politics or political appointments.
Il goes to material things as well. We
have not had q dollar in three years to
extend the surveys to the public lands in
this State, and there is little prospect
that we will ever get a cent. 1t was the
old rule under Cleveland and preceding
administrations to expend SIS, 900 annu-
ally for this purpose. II our delegation
at Washington were not grossly ineom-
petent it would see TO il that the old
rule was still kept in force. Under pres.
emit conditions an actual settler cannot
get his home surveyed in Nevada. No
wonder our population has decreased
twenty-five per cent in ten years. There
are neither inducements nor facilities Tor
people to make homes in our State. And
worst Of all, the dominant party in Ma
tion and State, which alone has the power
to help us, by its hostility to silver and
our other local interests and wants, seems
determined to grind us still further into
the dust. Republican rule and policy
are depopulating Nevada day by day.
Even the Mint at Carson is to be par
TALLY dismantled and the wages Of its
employees greatly reduced. This would
be something awful if attempted by a
Democratic administration, but it is all
right coming from the &. o. p. The Re-
publican press Of Nevada takes its medi.
cine without a word Of protest. But it
is nothing, il not snbservient.

THE PATHETIC DEMISE OF THE

No: l. Harrison elected. Republican

Of its life, appealed for a guard to pro.
tect il. Very nervous on account of q
premonition Of early death, with pulse
running considerably over one hundred.
No. II. Surplus was attacked by a
gang of Congressman. who dubbed it and
left it with a fractured skull. Fears are
expressed by experts that it will not re-

No. Ill. While on it's sick bed last
night a set OF ruffians masked, but iden.
titled as pension attorneys, entered the
room where the sick Surplus lay in great
agony and broke nearly every bone in it's
body. The villains escaped under cover

known that several of them are concealed

No. VI. The Surplus is as dead as 0

CARSON MINT AFFAIRS,

At the close Of the fiscal year which
ended June Both. the Superintendent Of
the Carson Mint wss ordered by the
Treasury Department to stop the coinage
of silver and reduce the force at the Mint.
The superintendent obeyed instructions
and sixteen employees were %summarily
discharged. Subsequently, it is stated.
the Superintendent called q meeting Of
the employees and submitted the question
Of reducing wages to the meeting. The
employees agreed to stand q reduction Of
ten per cent, and their decision was tele.
graphed to the Director Of the Mint, who
accepted their terms, and the sixteen
persons discharged were reinstated.
This indicates that the Government 10
so thoroughly imbued with the ideas Of
the monopolists regarding the wages Of
employees, that it has adopted their sys-
TEN. 1t issues p~eremptory orders to coin
no more silver and to discharge a number
Of employees, but countermands its orders
when the employees proposed to work at
reduced wages.
The excuse given for this singular pro-
ceeding On the part of the Government,
is, that the appropriation made by Mr..
Reeds Billion Dollar Congress for the
wages of employees at the Carson Mint is
not sufficient. This seems incredible in
the face of the fact that Congress pro-
claimed that the Mckinley bill would in
crease the wages of every man and wo.
man in the land. Now it is shown that
Congress stulti6ed itself and proved that
it did not believe the Mckinley bill would
increase the wages Of operatives, as ID
WAS intended solely to increase the profits
Of manufacturers.
The Government derived q profit Of
thirty cents or more on every ounce Of
silver it coined at the Carson Mint, but
like the pampered monopolists Of the
Eastern States il wanted more and pro-
posed to close its works ct Carson unless
the employees submitted to a reduction Of
ten per cent in wages.
1t should be stated, however. that none
Of the principal officers Of the Mint are
affected by this reduction. only the ladies
in the coming department. the helpers
and the laborers being the sufferers.
With this reduction in wages and assess.
ments for political purposes to help the
party out in Ohio and other States, the
day men and women in the Mint will not
be apt to have a very heavy bank ae-
coupt.-Reno Journal.

Buyers when they are morally certain

more profit to the miner with silver per-
manently at 81 90 than there is with the
price fuctuating from Sc to 81 20. From
the miners point of view the great OBJ

q of the most convincing arguments
put in the mouths Of the gold bugs. II
silver is no longer coined it will not take
long to Undue the minds Of the people
that it is no longer money, and if the
government will now put it's stamp upon
the metal itself the paper that it issues
for the metal it will be looked upon with
suspicion. We are not upon the verge
OF a possible crisis in the silver struggle,
from which we can only escape by the
continuation Of the coinage Of silver.
To stop it now will bring disaster and
ruin to thousands, and il it benefits any
n it will only be the gold bugs, whose
wealth it cannot fail to increase. The
next Congress will pass a free coinage
bill, but the closing Of the minis now to
the white metal may work a damage that

His breakfast consisted of hot rolls, chops,
fried potatoes and coffee, and when he could
not settle the bill an officer was called in and

be charged with eating a meal of victuals be-

Two Years for Biramy.

In the Criminal Court this morning colored
man of fifty or more years was before Justice
Bradley on the charge of bigamy in having on
January 2, 1881, taken to wife Anna Berry and
while she was still his lawful wife taken Jo-
sephine Campbell as his wife. Mr.. Pey-
ton. who. with Mr.. Amber, had been assigned
to the old mans defense. explained that the
first marriage was not a happy one and that
wife No. had told the old man to go his way
and she would go hers and under some kind of
law of his own that after seven years living
apart the parties were free and he had married
again, believing that he had the right 10 do SO
and hardly had the honeymoon passed before
he was arrested. He was poor, ignorant man
and when locked up in Jail he innocently asked
why it was so and could not realize that il was
wrong he had committed. He plead guilty and
was given two years in the penitentiary.
