TaH aSNIVELn SERVICE,

The civil service humbug is being
shown up in its true light by Washing
ton correspondents. According to these
the public service is becoming largely a
family affair. OF 1889 employees in
the Government departments, no less
than $50 have relatives at the same time
drawing Government salaries. Five off.
cials have each eight relatives in the SER
vice with themselves; twentysix have
five each, ninety-six have four each, 279
have three each and so on, Many cases
are given where nearly entire families,
parents with brothers and sisters, are
holding well paid places Every free born
American should put himself on record
in opposition to this civil service scheme
which has as its end the establishing of
an office-holding arstocracy Cleveland
and the Mugwumps are great admirers of
civil service, because "its so English,
you know"

TIE CAUSE OF SILVER.

The Populist members of Congress
have issued an address to the people Of
the United States, urging them to take
up the fight for the silver cause, 1t is
full of strong and convincing argument
and closes as follows:
Trust no man who once betrayed you.
Put no faith in any President who
assumed dictatorial power. Do not be
overawed or inundated by Wall street
and the power of the national banks.
When the people rise in their might in
trigue, cunning, usurpation, bribery and
corruption will vanish before them,'
The paper is signed by Senators PETER,
Jones, Stewart, Kyle, Allen, and Repre-
sentatives Davis, Baker, Boon, Bell,
Harris, Hudson, Simpson, Pence, KEN

miles south from Ferguson district and
about eighty miles from Yellow Pine.
The veins there are strong and they carry

THE Noncomformist says that no bet

Of Nevada. He has spent bis life in
study of the money question and talks

the Senate for popular rights against in
trenched greed, no man has fought more
earnestly Or sincerely for the people than
the good old Senator from Nevada. The
Washington correspondent Of the same

tors in argument on silver is Senator
Jones of Nevada. He may now be con-
sidered the authority on the financial
question in the United States, II not in

BEAUTIFUL SOUTHERN LINCoLS.
Correspondence of THE RECORD.


On THE WING, PAHRANAGAr VALLEY,
Lincoln Co., Nevada, Nov. l, '93.
With all the evidences of wealth in
the agricultural and horticultural valleys
and all the vast underground mineral
bearing vaults of our mountains IN
Southern Nevada, what more is necessary
to warrant the building and maintaining
of good through railroad, to give cheap
and quick transportation? We raise the
finest beef cattle, indeed bunch grass
beef is equal to the best. We can point
with pride to the delicious fruits that We
can find ready market for in Southern
California, at fair remuneration, with
out word of unfairness towards our
horticultural friends of that State. We
raise far better apples than they can; our
pears, prunes and plums are equal to the
best; the cereals are clear and white, not
stained with fog Thousands of acres of
good alfalfa land now lie idle, and many
thousand inches of water are going to
waste as rich and as productive land as
there is in the United States, ready for
the harvester to place under cultivation.
1t is more than likely that in the near
future our gold mines will create
large market for some of the productions
Of the soil but then we need larger
market than that, for the valleys of
Southern Nevada can furnish homes for
many thousands of people. Indeed the
entire population Of Nevada to-day could
be pleasantly domiciled in the beautiful
Muddy Valley, to say nothing about the
many beautiful homes that could be built
and handsomely provided for in all the
other we'll watered and fertile valleys of
Lincoln county.
No other country has Nevada's trans.
parent skies.
During my short sojourn in this land
l have formed the acquaintance of many
of the inhabitants. | can recommend
them to the industrious future popula-
ton as being very hospitable class, ever
ready to donate the widows mite" to
aid in any good cause.
To those that know nothing of our
sunny cline, let me say that this is surely
Q great county and it has a bright future,
where thousands of homes will be made
on the first appearance of railroad to
bring US in connection with the world.
