ADMISSION DAY.

Iwenty-mne years ago to-day
October 81, 1864 Nevada was de
clared sovereign State and admit
ted into the Union by proclamation
OF President Lincoln, The nation
was then IN the throes of civil war,
government notes were selling in
New York at greater discount than
silver bullion is today and the gold
ring, then, as now, had things its
own way. The credit of the Gov
eminent was way below par; gold
and silver were necessary to pur-
chase munitions of war IN foreign
countries, but the men who were
fighting to preserve the Union were
paid their monthly pittance of thir-
teen dollars in deprecated currency
worth about half its face value in
coin. The President paid a high
compliment to the silver miners of
Nevada. Silver bullion was on a
par with gold and the product of the
Comstock was used to uphold the
credit of the Government. Nevada,
because of its silver mines, was
deemed one Of the most important
States of the Union, as the product
Of its mines prevented the gold
brokers of New York and London
from making greenback as valueless
as continental money.
The Government has never re
deemed it's obligations to Nevada.
1t has erected only two public builds
ings i'll the State; it has done moth
ing to assist in retaining its arid
lands, and it has not even refunded
the money which the State expended
in organizing and equipping troops
to aid in suppressing the rebellion
and subjugate hostile indians.
Nevada, however, has vast and
varied resources. It's mountains
abound in minerals; its valleys are
unsurpassed in fertility; its climate
is as salubrious as any III the world,
and sooner or later it will become
one of the most prosperous States in
the Union, and Admission Day will
be celebrated by sturdy and patri-
otto people from the Colorado to the
confines of Oregon and Idaho to the
Colorado river; from Mormondom

HARRIS0N'S SLAYER.

It is evident that the assassin of
Mayor Harrison is a crank: in fact
no Is crazy beyond doubt.
This VIII afford the basis for his
defense when he is tried for murder,
and 1t IS very likely that he will be
acquitted on the grounds of insanity
1t strikes the writer that the death
penalty should be melted out to an
insane murderer above all: he il
more dangerous; his mind has taken
a murdernus turn, and he has a con
slant craving for blood, Our under
standing of the spirit of the law is
that in such cases, where murder has
been committed with malace AZORES
thought, the assassin, having a muir
derous heart, is menace to the
peace of the country. His life is
forfeited according to law, that he
may be prevented from repeating the
offense.
The death penalty seems to partake
somewhat of the nature of preven-
tative as well as punishment.
Where human life has been
taken as the result of quarrel, the
circumstances are different; there has
been no premeditation, but in the
case Of Prendergast, who shot down
Mayor Harrison in cold blood, there
was calculation and planning, he
had evidently brooded over the mat
ter some time, and his mind had
been self-wrought up to the point
where he must have the life of the
Mayer to satisfy the demands his de-
mented brain made on him.
With the above facts in view it is
evident that this heartless assassin
shold ply the penalty set forth by
law, for He that sheddith mans
blood, by man shall his blood be
shed"
