Afraid of Annexation.

The Reno Gazette appears to be I'M
duly alarmed lest Nevada may be an
nexed to Utah. We out here in the
Great East don't take much stock in
this annexation talk. Anyway we
cannot be hurt by any change that
may come. The Gazette Says:
Nevada is surely in hole. She
is not numerically strong enough to
help herself, and is completely at the
mercy of the corporations and men who
are willing to do their bidding, no
matter how unjust it may be toward
the people, who have worked out their
own salvation SO far, and would con-
tinue to do off let alone. The de-
cree, it is said, has gone forth that in
order to give Utah Statehood and ere
duce taxes in Nevada" the Territory
on the east shall be annexed to Ne
yada; our State Capitol, Insane Asylum
State University and State Prison
shall be removed to Ogden or Salt
Lake and the ''taxes reduced" The
people living on the western border of
Nevada should petition or make a
vigorous kick in some way against
such a high-handed proceeding, and,
if we have got to be annexed to any
thing, go to California. The people
of the extreme eastern part of the
State as the Gazette understands it,
are willing to go to Utah, or have Utah
come to them-in name, at least-so
we do not appeal to them, but Washoe,
Storey, Lyon, Ormsby, Douglas,
Churchill, Esmeralda and Humboldt
should wake up to their own interests
before it is too late, and take such &C
ton as they deem proper to prevent
such q scheme being carried out

.DOshilsE Grover.

President Cleveland has been as
willy in his naming of the baby as he
has been in his silver politics. Yes
terday he advanced tentative name
for the little girl. It was an entirely
unexpected name, too, and it has had
the same effect in this town as if the
President were suddenly to declare
himself in favor of free coinage at a
ratio of IA to 1. He says the baby
will be called Esther, which is pretty
name, but one that has hitherto been
unthought of. Whether the announce
ment will result in break in the ranks
of the staunch supporters Of "Frances"
is question. Old political sharps
here shake their heads and declare
that the President is merely attempt
ing to feel the public's pulse on m ost
serious question. A gentleman who
saw Cleveland to-day states that the
new baby has been named Esther is
true, but suggestions are not out of
order.
TelegIams of congratulations are
still coming in. One received from
Chicago signed, Crank" Crank Law

in a little town in Alabama the follow

"You will please inform the de-
partment how far the Tombigbee runs

don't run up at all. IT RUNS DOWN. "
A few days after the Postmaster re-
ceived letter from headquarters, in
forming him that his appointment as
Postmaster had been revoked, and that
another man named, was appointed
his successor. To which he replied ::
''The receipts of this Office during the
past year have been IS %, and the
expenses So 43. Will you please in
form me whether my successor will
