face characteristic Of our own people.

JUSTICE JOHNS COURT.
Columbus Day Returns "a Little Slow, But
"A Number OF Sinncrs Present.

-
Justice John wore his usual Saturday
poetry expression yesterday morning. 1t
Is strange, but it is certainly fact that
you can nearly always tell when man
IS getting ready 10 spring verses upon an
unsusDecting audience. He has an APP
pearance something like the man who
has been hunting for three days and
didn't get a shot.
The returns from Columbus day were a
little slow i'm coming in, but a good ma
jority Of the regulars were on hand, and
the proceedings fully up TO the splendid
standard of excellence.
Justice John shutfied up his little bum
die of picture cards and started the ball
rolling by declaring that "a jests pros
perity lies In the ear Of him that hears ii,
never in the tongue of him that makes
It," There seemed 10 be no objection TO
this. and he continued with the query
shall quips and sentences and these
paper bullets of the brain awe a man
from the career of his humor?" Nobody
thought that they should. and the first
case was called.
Mrs. Mary Terney was charged with
beating her little child. Several times she
has been before court on the same charge
and all OF the natural tenderness OF the
mother seems TO have passed away as
youth itself flies with the passing years
She insisted that she should not be pun
ished. but the Justice required security
for six months and asked: How would
you be II He which is at the top of judy
ment should but Judge you as you are?'
Mr.. A. A. Splitter was charged with

by the legend, From Bethel to Apo

ed entirely by Mr.. William L. Sheppard,
formerly an officer in the Second Com

Our Republican friends have set the
political ball rolling by a call for State
convention to elect delegates 20 the
National Republican convention, to be
held at Minneapolis in June. This is
we'll, and our Democratic brethren will
shortly follow in the same line. But the
time has come when the people of Nevada
should sit no longer and quietly submit
to the scheming and selfish policy OF the
rich and so called wise men Of the great
east. Our policy should be to stand foi
our rights. in electing, if we can, men
who are willing to restore silver, the
chief product of our section, to its right
full place among metals, or failing in this,
to defeat those we know, or have good
reason to believe, oppose our rightful
claims in this respect. This is matter
most important With it we would
soon see this section restored to its yigor
of twenty years ago, pouring forth wealth
for our benefit, specially, and the world
in general, while without it. the little
life and energy among us, fighting against
such fearful odds, must neces sarily grow
weaker, with strong probability OF be
ing crushed out altogether.

II ever there was time when the peo-
pie of the west and the south should take
up arms aud work and fight together as
one man, it is now The dispatches this
morning inform us that the little handful
of bond holders, gold-bugs and Wall
Street brokers', assisted and abetted by |
the President Of the United States and |
the alistocracy of England have
succeeded in defeating the silver bill and
the wishes of the people in the lower
houses of Congress. 1t is painfully evil
dent that the people will never secure
Justice in our legislative halls, and that
therefore they must assert their rights
and manhood through the ballot box.
The iron heel of the bondholder, the
money lender and the Infamous hirelings
who perpetrated the crime of 1873 has
been felt by the people of the south and
west these many years. We have
assisted in protecting every industry and
every manufacturing enterprise necess'
airy for the progress and prosperity of the
eastern states. We have ignored our
own interests and have invariable sus.
tanned every'measure calculated to bene-
fit the people Of the east. The farmer
has gone in rags and mortgaged his farm
in order that he might show his fealty to
party and his loyalty to the blue belled,
spindle -shanked autocrats who aim to
control the affairs Of this country. The
miner has drank OF the bitter cup time
and time again in order that he might
show his devotion to principles supposed
to be the groundwork of his party. In
times of war he has saved the credit oil

States the richest country in the world,
