eloquent sermon.
Peach growers report the present cold
weather as being very favorable to q
good crop of this much talked-o fruit.
The wood Of the trees is much redder
than usual and this is a good sign for a
crop so say those who ought to known.
John Morrison, well-known con
tractor and builder of this place, has
contracted to build several new houses
in Easton, Nd, and he is now at that
place with his men putting up the build
ings.
Mrs James Driskell, who for many
years was resident of Middletown but
who recently moved to Laurel was
found dead in bed at her home in that
town last Tuesday morning. She had
been sick for several days but was not
supposed TO be dangerously i'll. Her
daughter visited her bedroom at / o'clock
and gave her some medicine but noticed
no particular change in her mothers APP
pearance. At O'Clock she returned
and was Mortified to find her mother
sitting bolt upright in her bed and dead.

time.

place, has rented the farm of Nehemiah

The roads were probably never ina worse
condition than now and travelling is diff
cult and almost dangerous in places. The
streets in town have been badly cut up by
heavy wagons.
An ailment, similar in many respects to

still HOWIfng.

The Carson Tribune is still bowling
in the interest OF the State Board OF
Equalization, and saws that the cattle
men are the only ones that object to
tine bill. Here in this section we have
not heard a single person speak in
praise OF the bill, and the sharpest
objection to the bill is that the Cover
nor and other State officers, those who
many believe are controlled by the
railroad companies are the parties
mentioned to assess the larger portion
Of the property in the State and more
particularly the railroad property OF
the State. For this reason they object
to this bill.-Silver State.

The Bosses, IIpeh Bill.

The bill to create a State Board Of
Assessors and Equalization passed the
Senate last week by a vote Of 10 to 5
Those voting against the bill, were
Emmitt, Foley, La Grave, Sawyer and
Sproule, the absent members being
Boyle and Williamson. That the bill
will pass the Assembly is conceded,
and that the Governor will sign it
there is no doubt. II deprives local
Assessors, chosen by the people for the
purpose, Of the power to assess rail-
roads in their respective counties, and
authorizes three persons at the State
Capital to do so. 1t is useless for the
people to protest against the measure
as it seems the triumvirate, which
controls and directs the majority OF the
Legislature, have decreed that il must
become a law.-Reno Journal.

The Same Old Solid IL.

The Board Of Equalization bill
passed the Senate by a vote Of Is to 8,
two absent. The same old solid 10.
1t would have been Is to 5 on this
vote, as Boyle and Williamson vote
with the majority on all occasions.
This is certainly the best broken team
that was ever placed into the legisla-
tive harness. They pull together as
true as steel, and from the time the first
ballot was taken at this session up to
the present the journal shows IA to g.;
sometimes Is to 5, and so it will con-
tinue to the end Of the session.
Later-The above bill is said to be a
substitute for the original Williams
bill. tbs the same old sausage, only
a different envelope.-Silver State.

Their Unntness for the Positions.
The Walker Lake Bulletin says the
universal demand is that something
be done to lessen the present enor-
nous expense Of maintaining State
and county governments. BY this is
meant a change, modification and re-
peal OF constitution and laws SO as
to effect a conspicuous reduction.
The Legislature should not meet Of
tener than once in four years. The
number Of its members should be less
oned to one half, and its session,
should not last beyond 20 days. There
is no reason for a biennial session,
none for so great a membership, and
none for extending the duration Of its
sessions beyond that Of twenty days.
II such were the law, nor good would
be accomplished, there would be fewer
legislators and less time for them to
advertise their 1uftness for the posi-
tons they occupy the lobbyists would
have less chance to get in their work
on the dear peeps" and the differ
ence would be an item not to be re-
jected.

Reasons why % should be Adopted
fu

1t tends to economy in printing the
ballots, by securing n ballot in place
OF many.
1t withdraws a heavy expense from
the candidates, and places it where
il should be-distributed among the
voters.
IL leaves less money TO be disbursed
by irresponsible committees.
II breaks the power Of the boss sys-
tenn, by weakening the effect Of Elk
ing" primaries and controlling con-
ventions.
II enables any respectable body OF
citizens to present a candidate repre-
senting their views.
II encourages intelligent and indie
pendent voting.
II renders the bribery OF voting I'M
profitable.
1t makes the intimidation Of voters
impossibl e.-Reno Gazette.
Those are eight excellent reasons
why il should be adopted. Unfortun-
ateiy, however, there is one reason
which will probably Offset them all
the bosses are opposed to iva.

The Smart Alexis in the Legisla-
ture, says the Virginia Chronicle,
refused to make an appropriation for
the travelling expenses OF the District
Judges. The travelling expenses Of
the Judges are as much a part Of their
pay as their salaries and could be col
lected by them in a suit against their
State without any question. But the
poor devils at the capital are trying to
make a little cheap reputation for
economy by cutting off something
which is strictly legal and legitimate.
