NEVADA AND THE M'KINLEY
BILL.

A good many partisan Repub-
lican journals after the late cleo
ton demanded reformation Of
the Mckinley bill. One of the
foremost of these was the st.
7. ouis Globe Democrat. L now de-
clares its belief that no such ac-
ton will be had by the present
Congress, not even to win voters
back to the party" 1t says:
These protesting voters believe
in the fundamental principles of
the party as much as they ever
did, and cherish a pronounced
pride in its past achievements;
but they are not satisfied with the
way in which the affairs have late
" been conducted, and will not
vote its ticket if such manage
ment is to be continued. It is the
duty of the Republican leaders to
face this fact squarely and deal
with it in a prompt and reason
able way. The lesson of the late
election is so plain that there is no
excuse for misunderstanding it.
These who say that the result was
an accident are willfully blind to
its obvious and positive causes,
and the course which they are now
pursuing is calculated to bring
about a similar calamity two years
hence"
This is very plain talk by a jour
nal that was extremely partisan in
it's utterances before the election.
In later issue still. it warns its
party that the partisan whip can
not compel men to Justify what
they now discover was a mistake.
The st. Louis paper is not alone
in such expression, but it can be
found in many columns that have
never reflected anything but Re-
publican faith.
AS a matter of fact the McKin-
lev Bill is not a great benefit to
the West. It benefits manufact-
uring States.
It makes Nevada people pay
more for wooden goods, than is
made up to them by any higher
duties on lead and silver.

A FCLL TAX QUALIFICATION.

Assemblyman Emery Of Storey
county. has introduced a bill to
amend an Act to provide for the
registration Of voters. 1t makes
it the duty of Registry Agent to
receive and register the names of
all persons who shall exhibit a
poll tax receipt dated prior to the
first day of September of the cur
rent year, who are otherwise le-
gaIy qualified and entitled to
vote.
While it seems as if taxing the
elective franchise, by makieg the
payment of a poll tax a qualifica-
ton for voting. is against the spirit
OF our institutions it appears to
be the only way of getting a cent
for the support of State or local
governments from many men who
not only EXCISE the elective fran
NiAAoS but " O1llCt.
Mr.. Emery is one of the repre-
sentatives from Storey county,
which, according to the Control
lers report paid S2,9l6 into the
State Treasury on account Of poll
taxes collected in 1890 though
the returns show that about 1900
votes were polled in the county at
the last general election. 1t may
be assumed that every hinaman
and non voter over twenty-one
years Of age in the county paid
poll taxes, and that fully one third
of the voters did not. 1t is as
serted that several members of
the Legislature paid no poll taxes
last ear and that men have been
elected to State office who could
not produce poll tax receipt for
1890 because they did not pay
that or any other tax. Under
Such circumstances, though the
principle may be wrong, it would
Doubtless be advisable to make
the production of a poll receipt a
prerequisite of registration as pro-
vided in the Emery bill. 1t would
certainly increase the revenue of
Sorey county and the State or re-
duce the number of voters in that
county materially.
In the early days of the State
every voter not exempt by law
from the payment of such tax, had
to produce a poll tax feceip. at the
time he registered, but the Act
was repealed about eighteen years
ago. Reno Journal

Great Men Who Were Deficient In Conve

Great Men Who Were Deficient In CONVEX.
sational Power.
Many Of our greatest men seem to
have been singularly deficient in the
power of conversation. Even those
noted for their great wit, and for the
sparkling gems of thought thrown ont
to an admiring world on paper. have
been SO dull and stupid in conversation
that those who knew them personally
could never understand their right to be
called clever: but wit on paper is very
different thing from wit on the tongues
end, ready to drop off at the owners
will, without time for preparation or
remodeling. charming all listeners as
much by its spontaneity as by its spar.
kle
We can scarcely believe when read.
ing ''Hudibras," overlooking, as it does,
with wit and humor, that its author,
Butler, was the dullest and most stupid
companion imaginable; but such was
the case. That Addison, whose classic
intelligence" charms you, and after
whom you have endeavored TO model
your own style, was shy and absent in
society. That La Fontaine is really the
author of those witty fables that you
have read and laughed Over-La Fon-
tame who was almost totally deficient
In conversational powers, as though he
sold all his thoughts to his publishers.
Corneille, the great French dramatist,
was so completely lost and embarrassed
in society, that he wrote a witty couplet
on himself to the effect that he was in
telligent only through the mouth of
another. One of our greatest novelists
was SO tircsome in society, that friend
said Of him: 81 must go and read his
tales in recompense to myself for the
WEAKNESS of hearing him converse"
Fortunate is he who can 80 rccompense
his friends. After roaming with Milton
through paradise Lost" and Paradise
Regained," we are astonished 70 find
that he was unsocial and sarcastic.
That Dance was taciturn and satirical
we attribute to the fact that Beatrice
Tilted him, which had the usual and very
natural effect Of souring his disposition;
hence, we regard his fault with leni-
ency.
We are told that Gray seldom talked
or smiled. Perhaps talking so little &C.
counts for the deep thoughts embodied
in his "Elegy in Country Church
yard" and, as for his not smiling. we
forgive him for that mistake when we
remember that man may sriil. and
smile and be villain.
Melancthon, the contemporary Of
Luther, was 50 shy and SO easily EN-
barrassed that once when attempting to
preach to a large house me could get no
further than the text, and kept repeat
ing that-"Feed my sheep" Luther,
who, fortunately was at ms side, told
him tc sit down and he would perform
his duty for him. He obeyed, and
right gladly too. no doubt.
We might mention many more great
men who have been wall flowers in the
parlor. but who shone as bright, par
ticular stars" in the library, and the
latter being the more endurable, and
consequently the more to be envied
position, we reserve our pity for those
who have greater necessity for it
those q the present day who may not
hope to shine either in parlor or library.

Ancient Breathing Exercises.

Prof. Max Muller has recently pub

which describe breathing exercises. con-
sisting of deep breathing. expelling and
drawing in the breath at a regular rate,
and holding the breath. for the purpose,
as was said. of steadying the mind
The person taking this exercise was di-
Yected to assume firm and easy posi-
ton, and then to carefully regulate the
breath--drawing it in through one nos
tril, closing the other nostril with the
finger, then after retaining it for some
time, sending it out through the other
nostril- The time occupied in the three
parts of the exercise-inhalation reten-
ton and exhalation-was regulated by
the repetition of the syllable ON. It
was claimed that this method of breath
ing gave remarkable clearness to the
mind. and prepared the individual for .
mental state in which most exceptional
powers night be manifested. Good
