THE MRS. CASSIDY FUND.
How the Proposition fs Received by
the Press OF the STATE.

The suggestion set forth by the
News two weeks ago to raise fund
by 81 subscription for the widow of
the late Geo. w. Cassidy, is meeting
with general approval from the news
papers of the State. Nearly all of
them have published our article on the
subject, and as will be seen from the
extracts we give below, many have
heartily entered on the work of re-
ceiving subscriptions. Elko, Winnie
mucca and Carson take the lead. We
hope to see other towns follow their
example in this laudable work. An
effort from each of our exchanges is
all that is necessary to accomplish the
desired object:
Silver State.
In another column will be found an
article from the WHITE PINE News,
which explains itself. Raising fund
for Mrs. Geo. w. Cassidy by the
friends of her late husband is right,
just and worthy of the true sons of
Nevada. Mr.. Cassidy, as we all re-
member, was an honest and tried friend
of the white metal, and as his life was
given in advocacy of our cause, every
man in the State, who can afford it,
and most every one can spare one dol
lar, should contribute to this fund.
In his life Humboldt county was
friend to Geo. w. Cassidy, and in his
death the Silver State knows she will
be no less friend to his needy widow.
The editor of the Silver State is
mentioned by the News as treasurer
of the fund. If this is satisfactory to
all he would cheerfully act and faith
fully discharge the trust. A subscrip-
ton paper will be placed in the First
National Bank, where all can call and
donate. All donations will be pub
lished.
! Reno Gazette.
The Gazette most cheerfully en-
dorses the suggestion of the NEWS and
will do all in its power to promote the
success of the proposition. The peo-
pie of the State are under many OBJ
legations to the deceased ex-Congress-
man and it is no more than right that
they should express their appreciation
thereof by rendering the necessary
assistance to his distressed widow.
We would not, however, limit the do
nations to one dollar, as there are
doubtless persons in the State who
would cheerfully contribute hundred
times that sum. So far as Mrs. Cas-
sidy is concerned she need have NO
more hesitation in accepting such tri-
butte from the people of Nevada than
Mrs. Grant should in accepting PEN
sion from the people of the United
States for the services rendered by her
illustrious husband.
Virginia Chronicle.
The Chronicle approves the plan
suggested by the News and thinks
money subscribed for such a cause
would be well bestowed. It will be
pleased to forward any funds placed
in its hands for the above purpose to
Mr.. Nixon at Winnemucca.
Elko Independent
The Independent is heartily in ia
vor of the scheme of the NEWS, and
will receive and forward to Mr.. Nixon
any subscriptions left at this Office.
AS Mr.. Cassidy worked for our inter-
ests during his lifetime, and yielded
up his life in behalf of the State he
loved so well, let us contribute our
mite toward placing his widow above
penury and want.
Carson News.
It is nothing more than right that
fund should be raised for Mr.. George
Cassidy, and there is no doubt in the
world that Nevadans will respond
heartily and literally. It is not a
charity fund; it is simply assisting the
bread that was cast upon the waters
by Mr.. Cassidy to return after many
days.
Carson Appeal.
A fund has been started by the
newspapers in the eastern part of the
State for the widow of Geo. w. Cas-
sidy, who had no insurance on his life
when he died. The idea is to have
