THE LEGISLATURE.

The Nevada Legislature meets to-
day with the Silver party in control
OF both branches. The people look to
it for relief from the horde Of useless
officials whose salaries are eating up
their substance and parally~ing every
industry of the State. If the men,
bers of both Houses will lay aside all
partisan prejudices and work solely
for the good of the State, they will be
able to relieve the people of some OF
the burdens now weighing them
down.
Retrenchment in State and County
governments should receive the early
attention of the Legislature. All use
less offices should be abolished and
the salaries of those semaining should
be reduced. AS this can only be &C.
oomplished by amending the Consti-
tuition, and, as all efforts to amend
it by the Legislature have proved
fruitless, it should be n OF the first

the vote cast in 1890 for and against
a Constitutional Convention and il it
finds a majority in favor thereof, call
a convention 1T an early day and pro-
vide for the election OF delegates. BY
30 doing the instrument can be sub
mitted to the people at the general
election in 1894 and il adopted 60
into effect on the first Of the following
January.
The INDEPENDENT hopes that the
present Legislature will break away
from the influences that have con-
trolled it's predecessors and accom-
plish something for the State. If it
follow up the good work begun in
choosing Mr.. Bell as Speaker, it will
repeal all obnoxious laws and enact
only such as will prove q benefit to
the people. It has a great work to
perform and we sincerely hope that
it will not prove recreant to the pee
pies interests.

Do you know that the yachting sea

know that less than half as many buds
and blossoms of society have gone to

they wont stay at Chicago all summer;
and that in every heart turks daring

there IS no JOY in life like the keen JOY
a sailoress feels when a spanking
whole sail breeze bowls in over the
wind ard quarter and the lee rail is
awash in the spume, when the noble
craft mods in welcome TO the meeting
waves and the white sail shines trans
lucent from the sun beyond and tugs
and strains at the mast, when every
thing aboard IS instinct with life and
motion and the smell OF the salt air
makes the veriest tyro eager for wide
spaces and freer air: and when her

very particular as to which.end of him
got to the ground first.
The expressmen, meanwhile, were in
the house consulting with Mrs. Clarke.
When they came out the crowd had
dou bled. They had decided to knock
off the Stats from the,door and let Leo
make his own exit. While this was
being done the people in the front rank
of the crowd tried to get back, and
those behind tried to get forward, so
that they all stepped on one another,
and there was great noise and con-
fusion.
. This rumpus increased the nervous
ness of the dog, and he began to bark
in a terrific manner. The men re-
moved two of the stats, and then Leo
removed the other Stats and also the
the men. One of the ,expressmen got
under the wagon seat, and the other
went out over wheel. Leo had the
wagon all to himself, and he could
have had the street if he had evinced
any desire for it.
But he didn't; and right there arose
new difficulty. The dog wouldn't
come down. Mrs Clarke called to him
but he was so excited that he did not
notice her. He remained in the wagon
and addressed the crowd with his
laundering bass.
Then came volley of suggestions.
Everybody knew just how the dog
should be induced to come down.
"lf somebody gets up into the wagon
and coaxes him little said tall,
thin man, The will jump down all
right"
Suppose you do it,, said one Of the
eXpressren.
The thin man said that he had
family dependent upon him. and the
crowd ieered. This made the man en-
cry, and he climbed into the wagon.
Then he climbed Down again very
fast to ask Mrs. Clarke whether the dog
had habit Of eating between meals.
She admitted that he sometimes gnawed
bones.
60 ahead then" yelled small boy
to the thin man, you're just what he
wants"
Whereupon the thin man in wrath
pursued the small boy, and did not come
back.
The Man Who Knows It All arrived
at that moment. and ridiculed every
thing that had been attempted.
Give me piece Of meat" said he
and III show you what to do"
Nobody had any meat to spare. The
