Aside from personal likes and and dis
likes and the manner in which it wa;
brought about, it is perhaps just as well
that the Federal Election bill has been tc
all iutents b,l nrpe'cr abandoned as o
party measur. While acknuw hedging
the necessity for some such law, great
many republicans have been of the opin.
ion that it was now too late to do wat
ought to have been done years ago. 1t
is not necessary for us to agree with
these gentlemen OF to disagree with
them; but We have inc hesitation in say.
ing that as long as the republican party
could not he united in favor of this
measure, il was the best thing for the
party interest to give it up. 1t should,
however, been given up willingly by &C
ton of the republican caucus, and not
forced out as Il was by combination of
republicans and democrats. But it has
been done in that way, and it is useless
to cry over split milk; and those gentle.
men engaged in prcmulgating DEGREES
reading this or that Senator out of the
party would better be engaged in some.
thing more useful to the party. If the
republican party is to elect a President
next year it will certainly have need of
all the votes it can get, and it cannot af
ford, even il it could be done, to drive
away the support Of the men who are op.
posed to the Election bill.
The proposition to re district the State
and allow each district to elect its own
Judge is good one and should be car.
rled, but the salary attached to the Of
flee should not be cut down so low as to
prevent the b'st men from seeking the
position. The salaries should he gagged
by the amount of work performed, and
expense incurred, and need not be the
same in each district. With Elko.
White Pine and Lincoln forming one dis.
trics, and the Judge paying his travelling
expenses, $1,000 is hardly enough, in our
opinion, to make the. office sought for by
the best attorneys, and i. is from the
ranks of such that it should he filed.
We fail to see either the benefit or the
necessity for the prominence which has
been given the bill to guarantee the
bonds OF the Nicaragua Canal company by
the Senate caucus committee. The bill |
may be good enough, although Of that
we have our doubts, but there are many .
others in which the people are much
more intere ed, and which should not
have been pushed aside to make room
for the Nicaragua bill.

1t would seem that about the best
thing the majority in Congress could

'rd day OF March; republicans of the
country would then at least have the
satisfaction Of knowing, even if nothing
vas accomplished, that legislation was
lot controlled by the minority as it has
been in the Senate at the present session.
