CHEERING WORDS.

The following good words regarding
Nevada are from the New Years edi-
ton Of the Salt Lake Tribune:
Nevada is at her lowest estate. Her
great mines have, many of them,
ceased to yield, and her population
is growing less and less. Still we be-
lieve that she will never again witness
q New Year with 30 little hope as she
will to-day. When the conditions
shall be made right Nevada will adj
vance to the front as mighty mining
State. She has a wonderful mineral
belt extending her whole lenGth; a
belt composed Of large aud strong but
low grade mines. The great majority
of them will remain practically worth
less until cheap communication
touches them. Before another New
Years day we believe the eastern
border of that State will be crosse
by one and possibly two railroads, and
when that shall be, then a transfer
nation scene will follow. What ham
mers will he set ringing, what engines
will begin to throbl How the silence
will be startled by the clamors Of
industry-what long-delayed hopes
will be realized. There was a time
when Nevada led all the other regions
of the world 10 her output of the
precious metals. That time may
come again and sooner than the
doubters think. And if it does, it
will BRING with it a better and health
Ter prosperity than tbs old prosperity
was. There will be- fewer millionaires
but more prosperous miners, and the
old craze for buying stocks will not
prevail.
In the meantime extraordinary exer-
tions are being made to utilize all the
water that flows into the State from
the long line of the Sierras and in
other portions of the State, and her
agricultural area, through these
waters, will be doubled. It is good
State 10 live in. The climate is like
that Of Utah; the people are strong
and true race of mon; they were the
pioneers in silver mining aud the
lessons taught on the Comstock have
served to give direction to all the
mining in this great basin and beyond.
Those who lived there in the old
generous days will never feel aught
but kindness for the State that in
one sense created modern quartz min
ing, and possessed a people who came
nearer being altogether princely than
over before were a band who went
out to change the sullen face of the
desert into smiles. We wish for her
people happy new year, and rejoice
i'll the belief that next new year will
be happier than this.

Italy and the Papacy.

A Rome dispatch says that an ex-
treme sensation has been caused in tha.
city by the declaration of the pope to the
foreign powers that he does not feel Sc
cure in Rome. Although large majority
OF the Romans are devotedly loyal to the
throne Of Italy, yet the substantial classes
would view as q calamity the removal of
the papacy, which is a most profitable
patron for the trade and commerce Of the
city.
It has been said the italian government
would not permit the treasures OF the
vatican TO be removed, bat Will keep them
il Rome as a great museum for the Italian
nation. As 10 this other governments
would probably have something to say, as
the treasures Of the vatican are in great
part the gifts Of foreign states and princes,
and were donated TO the pope and TO no
other beneficiary. Even the stained glass
windows Of the vatican staircase were
only recently given TO the pope by the re.
gent OF Bavaria 1t is extremely doubtful
therefore, that Italy could dare TO retain
property that obviously belonged to the
church.
