thereupon Hetty forced him to
close his doors and announce sus-

the first time woman ever closed
a frst-class clearinghouse. Hetty
then determined to do the specu-

stay at home. She operated with
great boldness and success, and

her as an ornament to her sex, but

No Constitutional Convention.

Considerable of our space is devot-
ed this week to legislative proceed
ings, which cannot fail 10 interest
those of our readers who do not keep
posted on them. The debates in the
State Senate on Thursday and Friday
oflast week on the Constitutional Con-
vention are sharp and pointed and
show the positions of the advocates
and opponents of the measure. The
NEWS is opposed to a Convention for
the very good reason that we believe
that the same influence that has con-
trolled legislation In Nevada FOR 70
years would also control any Conven-
ton that might be elected To draft
fundamental law; and knowing this,
we think ii would be unnecessary waste
of money to spend it on Conven-
ton when il is almost certain no
public good would be accomplished.
AS an opponent Of the Convention,
however, our love for fair play and
our honest convictions OF right, com
pei us TO say that no unbiased man
can truthfully deny that the advo
Gates OF Convention in the Legisla-
ture, though in a hopeless minority,
have decidedly the best OF the argu-
ment on their side. No candid reader
of the Senate debates can come to
any other conclusion.
There seems to be just little inn
itation of the Tom Reed tyranny in
the modus operandi of the majority
of the Nevada Senate in dealing with
this question. They pull down the
curtain to exclude the light which
the minority want To throw on what
the mamajority claim) badly mixed
returns.
The Assembly on Monday by a
vote of % TO 10 took similar action
with the Senate.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1891-02-14

blank votes being necessarily against,
it was waste of time.
La Grave held that Comins was cor
rect, but as matter of Information a
complete count should be made.
Williamson held that according TO
the report of the committee three
kinds OF votes had been cast, and these
votes should be segregated.
Foley urged that the Senate wanted
all the Information possible, and want
ed to know just how many votes had
been recorded for and against. The
motion prevailed.
The reading then proceeded, and
eaoh Vi tho returns, Us read, were
passed over to Tellers Hickey and
Sawyer, who scrutinized them with
great care, Mr.. Hickey using his gold
trimmed goggles whenever he struck
bad chirography.
When Eureka was reached the Sec
rotary of State read, Yes 357, NOT.
Senator Williams rose and said that
the committee report showed differ :
ence of 7 votes from the record. The
error was shown to be a clerical one :.
The count proceeded.
When Lincoln was reached the Sec
rotary of State said through mistake
of the firm of Carlyle & Co, San
Francisco printers, the tickets con-
tanned no clause relative to Consti-
tutional Convention, and no votes
were cast either way, when il was dis
covered it Was too late to remedy the
the commission.
1t thus appears that Lincoln, which
was strongly Tor the Constitution, MIS-
unable to vote on the subject. The
habit county officials have OF sending
outside the State for printing. caused
tile trouble. \ bill is being prepared
to prevent any future recurrence of
this trouble.
Some af the returns were IL garbled
mass of bad grammar and mislnfor-
nation and scarcely any certified to in
the preaer form.
The e..te :. as recorded as follows :

The Deep Creek Road.

j. IL. Bacon, one of tho projectors
of the Deep Creek railroad, has re-.
turned from his New York trip, says
the Salt Lake Exchange. When IN
viewed in regard TO the enterprise
Mr.. Bacon stated that everything
was being done TO hasten its con-
slruction, still he could give no defin-
lite assurance that the road would be
begun within the life OF the pre-
scribed time. II is thought by
some that the line may be built via
Tintic. Still this is only surmise or
conjecture. The people in the Deep
Creek country are more clamerous
than ever for road, and assistance
will cheerfully be rendered 10 the
right parties in its construction.

Sawyer, one OF the tellers, reported
that he had found 6.309 votes for, and
3.227 votes agains the Constitution.
The total number of votes polled
for the highest on the ticket was re-
ported by the Secretary of State as
l2.400, and the majority of all the
votes cast must be 6,205.
Over and above this there was
majority of 100 for the Constitution.
Senator Williamson attempted to
figure it another way, but was called
to order by the Chair.
Senator Hickey, one of the tellers,
refused to count any vote which did
not read for Constitutional Conven-
ton. He reported 2,S47 votes for the
Constitution.
Senator Comins rose TO inquire
whether the Joint Committee reported
facts or fiction. 1t looked as if they
had tried to smother or cover up
something.
Senator Foley moved to adopt the
count OF teller Sawyer as correct.
Comins That the Senate resolve
itself into Committee of the Whole
to discuss Foley's motion. Adopted.
Williams and Comm argued that
the wording of the Eureka and Lyon
returns were vague and ought not
to be counted, when Foley offered the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the Clerks of Eureka
and Lyon counties be and they are
hereby ordered to appear before this
Senate at 2 o'clock P. NJ. on Wednes-
day, the 18th day of February. 1891,
with the ballots cast at the general
election, held on Tuesday, Novem Der
4, 1890, in their respective counties,
so that the Senate can determine how
the ballots cast in SAID counties appear
on the vote cast for and against a
Constitutional Convention, and the
expenses incurred by said officers in
coming to and returning from their
respective counties be paid out of the
Legislative fund; and, it is further
provided that if the Senate finds that
any errors ocourr in reporting said
vote that the said County Clerks shall
pay their own expenses.
Sawyer got the floor and charged
that the committee report, submitted
the day previous, showed an inclina-
ton to report against the Convention
The report stated that leading at
torneys had held the question was not
properly submitted and made no men,
| ton that General Clarke had appeared
before the committee and argued that
its submission was perfectly legal.
He made strong speech tavoring
the calling of n convention, and ar
gued against downing it by petty tech
uicalities, and urging that the people

.sThat Indian Scare. >,

The Eureka Sentinel of last Satur-
day says: There was a rumor brought
to town during the week that several
hundred Indians had fortified them
selves on Pancake mountain between
Eureka and Hamilton. The story was
the talk of the town for two or three
days. Some timid men and nervous
ladies were yisibly agitated. Under
Sheriff Dale aud Joe Brown promptly
and vigorously went 10 the front to
see what allied the Red Brother. They
returned from the seat of war yester-
day and reported that there was not

be not delrauded of their suffrage be-
cause county clerks failed to fll out
the blanks IN certain way.
The only question before the people
in the eleeiinn was the calling of
Convention. Tie members of the Leg
i.lature had n" option; they must not
consult their own ideas; the will of
the people must be be needed and
they would not be hoodwinked.
Comins opposed the motion on the
ground that it opened the door to I'M
necessary expense. If the precedent
were established all the county clerks
in the State would have to be sent for,
ana the precinct officers wcn!d be
called for.
La Grave said that some Senators
would not acknowledge those returns
if the Recording Angel of Heaven
signed every one of them.
Stearns said that Clarke was the
only lawyer who claimed that the
matter had been properly submitted.
Attorney General Torreyson held to
the contrary and submitted author
tiles.
Foley held that if the Legislature
wanted to obey the will of the people
they had the opportunity. He was in
Eureka and saw the ballots voted there.
They read, "For Constitutional Con-
vention." He did not believe that
county officer could annul the will of
the voters by clerical errors. There
would be no expense in leaning the
truth; not over 800, and the Senate
had right to it.
Comins moved the committee arise
and report progress. Carried.
Foley's resolution was then put and
beaten by the following vote: Ayes
