THERE appears to be a good many
democrats in Congress who have
such short memories that they have
already forgotten that they declar-
ed in their national platform and
upon the stump that protection to
American industries was uncon-
stitutional. Some of them favor
protection secretely, others openly.
Among the latter is Representative
Boatner of Louisiana, who says OF
the tariff bill to be prepared by his
party. There should be incidental
protection for certain American in
dustries, and / believe that Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland will make
known when the proper time comes
that he favors this system of tariff.

GEN. CLARKE, in a lengthy arti-
Gle in the Reno Gazette, shows con-
clusively that the next Legislature
should do what the last one did moi
do-count the vote on the Consti-
tutional Convention. The next
Legislature should count the vote
and do justice to the counties that
were practically disfranchised two
years ago. 1t will be remembered
that Lyon county's vote, which was
practically solid for Constitution
al Convention, was thrown out bod
lily on technical point, and no ex-
phantom was allowed to be made.

NEVADA.

THE republican Senators held a
conference this week, not to decide
upon anything, but merely for an
exchange Of views as to what policy
they should follow in dealing with
the legislation Of the session. One
of the subjects discussed was wheth-
err the House bills for the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico, now
on the Senate calendar. should be
passed. No conclusion was reached,
as there were quite number OF Sen
ators who had made up their minds
on the subject. 1t will not be sur.
prising if a later conference shall
decide to tBke up and pass these
dills. 1t may be set down as certain
that there will be no tariff legisla-
ton of any kind at this session;
there is no disagreement with the
Presipent in believing that the pro
per course is to leave the tariff IN
its entirety for the democratic Con-
gress to wrestle with.

IT is probable that the Presidents
recommendations for additional re-
strictions on immigration and for
the establishment of a national
quarantine will be acted upon at
this session. Bills looking thereto
have been introduced in both House
and Sedate. 1t is a matter that
should have been attended to long
ago.

Death of David Light.

One of the darkest shadows which
has passed over Stevens county in a
long time, is the death of Dave, son
G, X. Light of this county; which
occurred on the night of Thursday the
18th. The mystery which surrounds
the fatal occurrence makes the gloom
deeper. He was working with Mr..
Clark on the Spooner farm, and about
midnight of the fatal day some of
the family heard the report of gun,
and on going to the room occupied by
Dave, found him half dressed, with
the top of his head blown off. The
only satisfactory explanation that can
by given is, that he was a somnam-
bulist; and while walking in his sleep
he must have got possession of a
loaded gun, and committed the fatal
deed mconsciously.
Dave Light grew up among us; he
was in his 10th year, and was one of a
large family of boys, all of exception
ally good character. We knew him
particularly we'll, and never knew, or
heard of a blemish on his reputation.
The funeral services were conducted
at the house by the Rev. G. A. Cressy
of the Methodist church, of which
the family are members, and the re-
mains of the beautiful boy who few
days ago was full of life and hope;
were conveyed to their last resting
place, followed by an unusually large
concourse of sympathising friends,
prominent among whom were his
comrades of the Albert Shaffer Post
Sons of Vets. who acted as pail
bearers and guard of honor. We
unite with this entire community, in
rendering heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved parents and brothers.

The Opera House.

The contemplated opera house to
be erected at the corner of Fifth St.,
and Atlantic ave., by Mr.. Berkin is
well worth consideration by the
citizens of Morris. Show men have
frequently told us that if we had
such a building they would bring
good shows to the town; but they
could not make success with our
present Accommodations, the court
house being at an inconvenient
distance, no stage Accommodations, and
very poor lights.
Morris is the largest town within
so miles in any direction and is SO
centrally located with reference to
railroads; and SO we'll supplied with
fine hotels and churchs, that travelling
business men make it a point to
radiate from it. All these attractions
should have the browning attraction
of first class opera house. Some
DIRECTORS say it would take money out
of the town, we say it would circulate
money in town. 1t would help the
hotels, and the hotels help the
butchers, grocers, dry goods men &c.
Part of the money goes to pay hotel
help, and there are no better patrons
of the stores than hired girls; they are
not the ones to send to New York or
Philadelphia for their goods. There
is no scarsity of money in the county;
the trouble is to get it into circulation.
A good town hall would be a real
benefit in this way, and if it is
necessary to aid in furnishing it the
people should lend hand. We don't
suppose for moment that Mr..
Berkin would want, or accept
assistance in the erection of his build
ing, but if he will erect good safe
brick building for this purpose, the
people should be willing to assist in
furnishing it in manner that would
make it attractive and comfortable.
1t will be in a good location, and
there will be no sectional feeling on
that account; a thing which has
cursed Morris two often. The first
two gentlemen who have offered 800
apiece are both up town men. Keep
the ball rolling.

Seldom has party in search OF
enjoyment met with greater success,
than the quarter hundred who left
Morris for Benson on Friday last, to
witness the contest in oratory be-
tween four champions of each of the
high schools in the above named
towns. We left Morris on the noon
train, arriving in Benson at l o'clock.
Such a large crowd not having been
anticipated, no arrangements were
made for its reception; which caused
some of the Morris ladies to kich up a
dust, and in kicking up the dust, one
of them kicked stove over, sending
the pipe piping through the room,
and elbowing her way to comfort.
But Mrs. Dye can explain the scene.
After the Bensonites got themselves
pulled together, they done things in
fine style; if we had been a delegation
from the fiowery kingdom we could
not have been better treated. Every
thing was done that could be done to
make enjoyment more enjoyable.
Complimentary tickets were furnished
to all Morris people, and after the
exercises, receptional accompanied
by a sumptuous oyster supper was
the occupation of the visitors until
noon of night, when we started for
home full of the good things of life
and praises for Benson.
The contest-there were two prizes,
one for the best individual speaker, and
one for the school averaging the
the highest. Miss Minnie Carnihan
OF Benson was awarded the prize for
individual merit, and Morris school
for general superiority. Outside the
judges we heard no one claim any
thing for Benson, it was conceded by
all the Benson people we came in
contact with, that Morris carried
every thing before them. The award
was given to Miss Carnihan as she
was really the best of the Benson
contestants; and for the other very
good reason, that the judges could
not perform the very difficult task of
saying which of the three Morris girls
was the best. Walter Smith spoke
his difficult piece well, but boy has
no show in such case. In the first
place he is not expected to have as
much tongue as the girls; and second
ly, people think boy is of no account
mo how" so he is just thrown in to
fill up with.
The Benson pupils evidently had
plenty of training, but it was mechan-
ical; they had memorized their pieces
perfectly, and done well, but one
could see at glance, that the Morris
girls had Evolutionary trainers. We
seriously doubt if those three girls.
The Misses Thoele, Colyer and
Arneson could be beat. On the
second Friday in May we are to have
a return contest, when we can assure
our Benson friends that the string of
the door latch in Morris will be out
for them.
