The New Appor,lonment BlII.

The Carson Appeal, commenting on
the bill now before the Legislature to
reapportion the State for legislative
purposes, says: The new apportion-
ment of legislative representation is
directly in violation Of the Constitu-
ton, and will not stand a moment in
the Supreme Court. Under the Con-
stitution, representation must be
based solely on population. Under
the new law the sparsely settled coun-
ties of the Fast have as many repre-
sentatives there as the more heavily
populated counties Of the west. The
members of the Legislature should
bear in mind that the Constitution OF
the State means something, and that
they cannot ride rough shod over the
organic law without a demand on the
part OF the people for a reckoning.
No wonder some OF them vote against
having a new Constitution. If they
can do as they please with the old one,
there is need OF q new one.

A Sensible Suggestion.

II the present Legislature would pro-
pose an amendment to the Constitu-
ton abolishing the Legislature and
empowering the bosses to appoint a
half-dozen men to make laws for the
State, our laws would not be much, if
any, different from what they are now,
and the people would be saved the ex-
penses Of fifty or sixty thousand dol
lars every two years, and would doubt
less ratify the amendment at the polls
by an overwhelming majority.
AS boss rule is to prevail in Nevada,
let that rule be made as cheap as
possible by changing the present legis-
lative system Of the State. AS it is
conceded that a few men, not elected
by the people, control State legisla-
ton, II is sheer nonsense to pay sixty
members and t~hirty-eight attaches
sixty days salaries, besides mileage Of
the members, for pretending to do the
work.-Reno Journal.

Our old Waterman, ]. B. Singleton,

at the Russ House in San Francisco.
He paid a visit to his brother near
Los Angeles, but recently returned to
the city. He expects to be back in
Eureka within a few weeks to remain
for the Summer and longer if matters
revive here. A. f. Kaye is also at the
Bay. He has about given up his con-
templated trip to the new State oil
Washington. He likes San Francisco
and has no desire to go farther. He
too will return to the Base Range in a
short time. George McKim is in clover
up to his knees at the Bay and will
stay with it until about the time the
Eureka Con. gets ready to fire up it's

20 Bouanxa,, Foley,

Dan Foley, who took the name Of
" Bonanza Foley among the miners
of Eureka, has turned merchant since
locating in San Francisco. II will be
remembered that he was one OF the
original owners OF the Diamond re-
ceiving for his interest 100000. He at
once invested his money in improved
San Francisco real estate. He paid
$1S, 900 for one piece out on Market
street. This was a corner lot with a
good building on 1t. Lately bonanza"
has opened a corner store and barroom
in this building. Some OF the Eureka
boys who have recently been in San
Francisco went out to see the miner
merchant. Bonanza was doing the
honors and was especially hospitable
in setting them up for the visitors.

The Legislature has cost the State
10000, and the only things accom-
plished have been to pass an appropria-
ton bill to pay the members and at
taches elect a U. s. Senator, who was
elected on the 4th Of November; elect
a Warden OF the States Prison : refuse
to call a Constitutional Convention,
and visit the State Asylum and State
University. II the remainder Of the
session is to be fritted away in the
same manner, about the only recon-
pense the State will have, will be the
proof that a majority Of the Legisla-
ture of Nevada have blackened them
selves so black that a black sheep
would be white in their company.
There are good, honest and true men
in the 18th Legislature, but be 1t under
stood, that our remarks only apply to
the majority to those whom the shoe
may fit to those who have by their
acts betrayed the trusts imposed in
them, as the representatives OF an OPP
pressed and abused people, who have
expected Of these representatives, with
all the knowledge and facts before
them, the relief, retrenchment and re-
form, that the State has been de-
handing and is entitled to, for these
many years. Who will correctly
prophesy the end of this condition OF
affairs ?-Austin Advocate.

1t seems no less true of individuals
than of parties, give them all they ask
and still they are not happy. The
Nevada Legislature in both Houses is
almost entirely composed of Republi-
cans, yet all does not appear to be
lovely in that unity Of political faith.
In the Assembly the vote on all i'm
portant measures generally stands %
to II and the Senate tallies 10 to s,
with a couple absent. But two Repub-
lican papers in the State-the Enter
prise and R~eveille-are in accord with
this majority vote, while all the others
stand up for the minority, and unmer-
cifully the majority faction. We
Democrats can only look on and smile.

The People Disfrancbtsed,

The Carson Appeal puts in some
pretty heavy ticks at the members of
the Legislature who voted to throw out
the vote Of Lyon county on the Con-
st~itutienal Convention question. The
people of this county have been
DISTINGUISHED, that's about all there is
to it. Lyon cast sic votes for a Con-
~stitutional Convention and it seems
that not one OF them is to be counted.
What q ga-lorious thing it is to live in
a free country! The question now
arises what candidate is safe in seek
ing Officer A person to secure office
in this State now must be a two-faced,
lying h~ypocrite or the Supreme Court
will refuse to canvass his vote, on a
technicality. and the Legislature will
throw out enough votes to defeat him
after he has been squarely elected.
Leaving the advisahility OF holding a
Convention out OF the question, does
it not seem like a high-handed pro-
ceeding to deprive 5l6 people Of their
vote on a certain proposition. Lyon
county has been badly misrepresented
in this matter, or the vote would have
been counted, whether it decided or
not the calling of a Convention

The Eject VIII be Had.

The defeat Of free coinage means
another year Of depression in the
mining industry. 1t seems hard that
the administration will do everything
for pig-iron in Pennsylvania, and
nothing for silver bullion in the west.
The west is taxed on everything il
consumes for the benefit Of the East
while being denied simple Justice TO
one OF the greatest, as 1t is assumedly
the highest, industries in the United
States. The farmers Of Kansas showed
wisdom when they revolted against
the tariff. Relatively, protection costs
Nevada more money than any other
State in the Union. We import every
thing we consume from a lucifer
match TO a quartz mill, and manu-
facture nothing for export except
bullion. Nevada is dragged to the tune
Of not less than n million Of dollars
annually through the tariff. All OF
our goods come at least twenty per
cent higher than they should by rea-
son Of the policy Of extraordinary pro-
were as selfish as their brethren on
the Atlantic seaboard they would be
free traders TO a man. The sole benefit
Nevada receives from the tariff is the
duty imposed upon lead, which is pro-
duced in but two counties in the State
Eureka and White Pine. We are
willing to stand the tariff for this small
benefit, provided our silver is also
given a decent show along with East
tern pig-iron. 1t is about time that
Nevada and the other mineral sections
began a general kick for exact justice.
We are bound to experience hard
times until we get free coinage. The
outlook for a revival Of business in
Nevada is not good.

From the following editorial in the
Sacramento News, it seems that a
lady noted for good works, intelligent
charity and public spirit does not find a
congenial home in the Capital City Of
the Golden State:
The determination of Mrs. E.. B.
Croker to sell her property in Sacra-
mento and to remove her home from
this community will be regretted by
all who have the welfare of this city at
heart. Mrs. Croker has so long been
looked upon as a mainstay in all mat
tiers of public enterprise and charita-
BILE purposes that her departure can be
regarded in no other light than as a
great misfortune to our people. 1t is
to be hoped that the lady may be in
duced to change her pains in this re-
gard, for she must know that the I'M
worthy disposition OF envy which APP
parently exists among a few, is con-
fined to those classes whose opinions
are OF no value.

of Senator Hearst's condition places
