rhe Con,t,,uuou Amended.

The story is told OF an Assembly
man OF the last Legislature, who, hav-
ing a bill to introduce, submitted it to
a legal friend to see if it was all right
and would hold water. The latter,
after reading it over carefully, ex-
pressed the opinion that N Of the
provisions was unconstitutional. The
embryo statesman's lip dropped
down under his chin upon hearing
this, but in a moment he frightened
up, as a brilliant idea occurred to him.
=" say, Judge" quoth the lawmaker,
learnt you put in a bloody sentence that
will amend the bloody constitution, SO
that the bloody bill won't be all abroad
OF the bloody instrument" The
lawyer added a clause, and tradition
hath it that the bill became a law and
is upon our statute books, and in full
force TO this day.-Reno Gazette.

The Hon. Juan Manuel Flores, Gov
ernor Of the State of Durango, Mexico,
announces that he has discovered what
he believes to be the famous Noun
tain OF Cold" the legend of which is
a household story in every part of
Mexico. He says that, whether or
not the discovery is that OF the lost
mountain, it is one OF the largest and
richest in the State OF Durango, as has
been demonstrated by explorations OF
numerous veins OF gold, all OF which
converge into the supposed gold noun
tain. The Governor has not divulged
the location OF his valuable find, but il
is said to he in the first range OF the
Sierra Madre mountains, within eighty
leagues OF the city.

During the past week Maute has
been fighting hard in the Senate to
rescue the Office of State Printer from
being consolidated with another Office.
Foley has been giving him consider
able trouble and raising objections
until Maute began ~arraying himself in
wal paint. The main hitch was the
producing Of qualifications for the
State Printer, Foley holding that any
qualified voter who was elected TO any
office could not be deprived Of the
right to serve. Maute finally accepted
u substitute and Foley still kept on his
collar. He urged that one section was
unconstitutional and Maute called at
tention to the fact that it was copied
verbatim from a previous section
drawn up by Foley himself. A general
smile passed around the room in which
Foley was compelled to join and the
bill passed.-Carson Appeal.

the Silver party, says a special CORE
spondent Of the New York Press. He
is as radical on the silver question as
Senator Stewart. Mr.. Newlands was
in town several days visiting amongst
his friends. He told me yesterday
that as Europe owns the gold Of the
world, and can draw away the yellow
metal in this country to such an extent
as to place us on the " shoals OF bank
ruptcy," that i've must unite with
siiver-using nations. The monetary
conference will amount to nothing be-
cause England and Germany, gold-us-
ing nations, will not unite with us.

Nay, little father, you will lose-but

soul is more precious than mine. The

On February LIST Of the present SEES
sion of the State Legislature, Senator
Maute, who was supposed to have
been fully in favor Of the Australian
ballot law, introduced Senate bill No.
IL for its repeal. As 1t was believed
at the time that over two-thirds OF
both houses we're in favor Of the Aus
tralian ballot system, the newspapers
Of the State paid no attention to the
bill introduced by Senator Maute for
its repeal but now there are persons
who claim to have reason to believe,
and in fact are really afraid, that dur
ing the last days OF the session q job
will be sprung to carry it into effect.
Should such an outrage be perpetrated
il would meet with the e~xecration OF
over three-fourths of the people OF the
State and would bring everlasting on
domination 10 the perpetrators. We
believe, however, that the fears ex-
pressed are without foundation, and
no matter how much a few interested
persons may desire the abrogation OF
OF the present ballot system in this
State, the members OF the Legislature
have too much good sense to utterly
disregard the wishes Of the people. 1t
may be that amendments, such as
that introduced in Senate bill No. 10,
by Mr.. Maute, may be carried into eff
feet for the purpose Of improving the
law. but there il no doubt that any
amendment that may be proposed will
be fully looked into for possible de-
fects before IL will pass.
