A NEW. DAWN.

The reports from San Francisco,
regarding the San Francisco and
Great Salt Lake Railroad, are full Of
encouragement to the people Of Ne
vuda. With the completion Of this
road an era Of prosperity will dawn
for this State such as it has not seen
since her mines were compelled to
shut down by the demonstration of
silver. New industries will spring up
along its route, and the people so
long excluded from direct COMMUNE
cation with the East and West, will
be given new facilities of transporta-
ton. The ore Of the miner and the
produce of the farmer, set free from
the conscienceless tariff rates now in
force, will sock new markets. New
energy will be infused into the peo-
pie and a wave OF golden prosperity
will follow the line Of the road.
With the new road and the remoue-
tization Of silver, our State will take
a boom that will populate our valleys,
build up our now deserted mining
camps, furnishing work for the I'M
employed, and make it's people what
they should be, the most happy and
contented on the face of the globe.
Nevada, then, can stand among her
sisters the proud possessor Of n popu-
lat on that will make her name re-
spected; and instead of the finger Of
scorn, that is now pointed at her by
those who have grown rich from the
silver and gold wrung from her
storm-scarred mountains, there will
come home-seeKers from the less ia
vored POI tions of the Union, aud the
sneers of Eastern hypocriLes will be
turned into songs Of praise.

u = II . i
/ In the debate on the amendmen
Ito the Sundry Silver bill ordering
that the Chicago Exposition be closet
ION Sunday, one of the most cfrectivs
short speeches supporting the amend
ment was that made by Senator Ken
ma, In closing be said:
Now Mr., President, there are many
things that might be done there are
many things that might be exhibited
hin this Exposition which would in
yolve in my opinion no violation OF
the law to keep holy the Sabbath
day-Athe Sunday of which we speak.
Opinions would differ as 10 details
the country over. But, sir, the oh
servance9of Sunday is impressed as
firmly as the civilization of our race
upon the institutions of this country.
As far as / know there is not public
institution in the United States, ma
tional or State, that is notcIosed on
Sunday. We close the Capitol in
which. we stand to the constituencies
at our doors. There is not State,
a Territory or city, nay, nor liiga4
way in the Union where you may
open your eyes to the sunlightof the
morning that you are not aware by
that mysterious something in the
changed relations of the life that sur
rounds you that this is Sunday. 1t
has always seemed to me as beau
tiful reflection that there is a suspen-
sion of the things that are human and
an aspiration to the things that arc
Gods found in the very atmosphere
of the day that we call Sunday. The
principle ofits observance is indelihly
impressed upon our institutions.
The practice of its observance is uni-
versally respected. Uponthat prin-
ciple and son that practice regard
the opening of the Columbian Exposi-
ton not only as a national but an in
ternational assault. 1t is notia q,Ies-
tion of individual conscience but a
