Are Women Hero worshlper.,

Are Women Hero Worshipers?
"Women are naturally hero worship
ers," said Nathan Floyd at the Southern.
at is said that every woman in Europe
was in love with Napoleon. When Vol
taire visited Paris in his old age the fair
est in France, so the historian tells us,
hastened to lay their hair under his feet.
When Grant was in the heyday of his
military glory he was the frequent re-
cipient of tender epistles, which he
turned over to his wife to answer. Now,
for lack of greater hero to bow down
to, the women of America are worshiping
ut the shrine Of Jim Corbett. What will
The dear creatures do if Negro jackson
puts Jim to sleep? They will have to
transfer their idolatry to the successful
politicians, actors and preachers. The
mania for kissing distinguished men has
not yet run its course in America. What
a harvest of sweetness General Sherman
had! He was a veritable bee, fitting
from honeysuckle to cape jasmine!"

81 adhere to the views expressed
in previous messages that the care of
the disabled soldiers of the war of
the rebellion is matter of national
concern and duty. Extract from
President Harrison's message.
This is demagogy and nothing else.
No one, not even the eX-Confedera-
tes, objects to reasonable pensions to
"disabled soldiers. !" But it is begin
ming to dawn upon the country that
the nation is paying out a good many
millions every year, in the way Of
pensions, to those who are not dis
abled to many, indeed, who are the
ablest bodied men in their neighbor-
hood and some of whom have good
bank accounts. Lord save us from
the political shysters and trimmers
Many of our readers possess copy
of that wonderful production, "The
Battle of Keyes' Farm" We give
the following from the same author,
being an extract from his veto mes
sage in relation to the Ludlow saw
ing's bank, verbatim ct puctudtuna.
The two will do to go together. Save
them that you children may know
the sort of thing that they made gov
ernors out of in Vermont in Grand
fathers day. Here it is:
A savings bank is supposed to be q
place where people of moderate means
may deposite their savings against
the time of need, and they should be
invested SO as to be as free from risk
as possible. while bank that does
an ordinary business, is operated
upon an entirely different and clash
ing theory, now when the two are
brought together and the savings de-
posites made subject to commercial
hazard of this kind, it should be un-
der more than ordinary scrutiny, and
freed from sources of temptation
This clause contains the germ that in
the future me result in harm ano
therefore l return it without my

Whate'er thy task may be,

For work that is well done
viii always tell.
Nor try to shirk, for life
Is all too short
To waste in idleness,
Or spend in sport.
Humble thy task may be,
Yet it will tell,
If thou do it cheerfully,
And do it well.
The best lives are made up
OF little things,
And those who sing at their tasks
Are more than kings.

A SENSIBLE PLALK

The Democrats of Elko have the
following sensible plank in their plat
form.
Resolved, That we are in favor Of
Constitutional Convention to revise
the fundamental law of this State to
the end that useless offices may be
abolished and idle deputies compelled
to earn an honest living.-[Carson
Appeal.
The INDEPENDENT believes that the
following State Offices could be abol-
ished without detriment to the public
service: Lieutenant Governor, SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction
and Clerk of the Supreme Court.
The Depu ties of the Secretary of
State, Controller, Treasurer and the
private Secretary Of the Governor
could also be dispensed with and the
taxpayers of the State relieved of
their support.
The adjustment Of these offices
and the cutting off of the useless
d deputies mentioned above would re-
suit in the saving of Sl67OO a year
nearly enough to pay the expenses of
G institutional Convention.
Besides these reductions the sala-
ry OF the Governor could be reduced
fully one.half and that of the other
State officers one-third from what
they are now and the business of the
State would not suffer The Supreme
Court shout be reorganized, if not
abolished, and the salaries Of the
District Judges reduced to $4,000 per
year.
A Constitutional Convention COM
posed Of the right kind of men, bent
upon acoompli. hing something for
their State, would lay the pruning
knife to all the extravagances of our
present State and county govern
ments and put them upon such a
basis that horizontal raises by State
Boards OF Assessors and Equalization
would be unheard Of and the tax-rate
for their support reduced moro than
one-half. The taxpayers of Elko
county should remember when they
cast their votes in November for
members Of the L legislature that the
Democratic candidates stand on a
platform favoring the calling OF a
Constitutional Convention to revise
the fundamental law of the State. II
elected, they will keep their pledges.
All Of them are taxpayers and your
interests are their Interests.
