GENTLE SPRINCTIME.

Josh Long Pays Tribute to Animate and
Illuminate Nature.
In the spring with deeper crimson burns the
iris OF the dove.
In the spring the young mans fancy lightly
turns 10 thoughts OF love.
The birds sing their sweetest melodies
among the budding and blooming trees
and the very insects seem to hum in
loving harmony with each other. The
gallant young man hangs over the
front gate whispering sweet nOthings
into the ear of his blushing sweet heart.
Down in the fields where the green
grass is waving and the golden dande-
lions are nodding IN the gentle breezes,
the Holstein bull paws the earth i'll
lordly pride and practices Rocked In
the Cradle of the Deep in his rich bass
voice. In the corner Of the fence the
maternal swine croons low, sweet
lullaby to her infant brood as they
draw their sustenance from natures
fount. The air Is laden with the per-
fume of beautiful flowers. the brooks
run with drowsy murmurings into the
deeper river aud then rushes lmpetu-
ously over the dam and through the
rapids, meeting the influx of the sewers
with o hoarse roar of welcome. The
suckers and the surgeons wag their
tails in dreamy delight us they go up the
stream slpping the snails and angle
worms from the Oozy bottom. All
nature seems to rejoice at the coming
of spring and spring is already sprung.

STOREY county is contemplating
establishing Poor Farm for its
horde of indigents. There is not a
county in the State but which is at
"a loss how to economic in taking
care of its indigents, and would be
glad to find some way to Tighten
the drain on the funds. 1t is prob
ably costing from $4,000 to $780,
900 year to take care Of the in
,digents in the State under the pres
ent system. In no county are they
being cared for for much less than
81 per day per person, and the med
ical attendance not considered.
This is considerable of a tax on
the people, and the proper way to
reduce expenses in this line is to
establish asState Poor Farm. There
is no doubt that saving of at least
.one-third could be made in the
farm system of caring for the indi-
gents. This could not be accom-
plished, however, without an amend
ment to the Constitution, and if we
are not to have Constitutional
Convention it should be one of the
first things the Legislature should
attend to.

IT is given out that the Presi-
dents purpose in asking an extern
sion of the time within which Sec
rotary WINDOWS successor must be
appointed, had especially reference
to Robert Lincoln, Minister to the
Court Of St. James. Lincoln is not
lat all satisfied with his present post.
His appointment furnished the
strongest evidence of President
Harrison's personal regard for him,
for it was made without solicitation
ION his part. In fact, the Illinois
Senators did not themselves know
1t was going to be made until the
President 80 informed them.
Since the death of his son, Lin
.coln has been more restless than
ever, and the best information is
THAT if the Treasury portfolio be ten
.dered him he would accept it. His
appointment, from a political point
of view, would be regarded as es-
pecially happy one. No public
man in America is so universally
popular with the colored race as this
.son of the great war President.

The report of the committee ap-
pointed to investigate and canvass
the returns on the Constitutional
Convention question is slider. II
virtually throws out the vote of this
county as we'll as that of Eureka.
The report says:
Eureka county cast 357 votes
for change Of Constitution Lyon
county cast SIG votes for change Of
Constitution"
What Eureka county voted for
we do not know. We do know that
Lyon county cast not single vote
for Change of Constitution" but
did east SIG votes "for Constitu-
tional Conyention-Yes." The re-
port also states that the certificate
of the Clerk of this county to the
Secretary of State made no mention
of the vote on the Convention ques-
ton. We do not believe this. The
Secretary Of States report gives the
vote on this question just as it was
certified to by the Clerk of this
county.
We are aware that Senator Gal
lagher and Assemblyman Shirley
of this county, are opposed to a
Convention. Assemblyman Gig
noux favors one. But however the
members may stand the people of
this county have voted to call
Convention. The measure may not
have carried in the State, but we
think the sentiment of the people
is for our representatives to see that
the vote is counted, and counted
correctly.
