SHORT SIGHTED ECONOMY.

The Reno Gazette wants the tick
cts used under the Australian ballot
system printed at the State Office.
The law provides that only State
work can be done there, county bal
lots could not be printed there.
The State Office was not intended as
competitor for private enterprises.
One might as well say that the
counties get their letter heads done
at the State Office and BY going step
further, print bill heads and business
cards for merchants.
Several people seem to labor under
the idea that the printing offices in
the State ars unable to do the work.
This idea has gained ground by
reason of a tricky and misleading
circular sent all over the State last
Fall by Virginia City job Office to
the effect that the work could only
be done at that particular place, and
that this particular office had in
dulged in enormous expenditures for
machinery to be able to handle the
work. The extra machinery neces>
sary to enable the Australian ballots
to be printed, can be placed in any
Office in the State.
The extra expense of printing
these ballots last Fall was caused in
many instances by County Clerks
assuring the Boords of Commission
ers that it would have to be done be-
low in order that the Clerks might
be able to take junketing trip to
the Bay at the expense of the tax
payers.
All election printing should be
done in the State.

Senator Stewards amendment to
the Sherman Nicaragua canal scheme
is a good one. 1t places the building
of the canal under government sup
ervision, wipes out the old Wall
street syndicate and provides that all
government money shall be expended
under the direction of the secretary
of War. This In substance would
make the Nicaragua canal National
interest instead of a private bond
grabbing scheme. Senator Stewart

THE WASHOE ANNEXATION.

4 portion of the people of Washoe
county living nearest the county seat
Of Ormsby have petitioned the Leg
islature to annex them to Ormsby.
The request came from Washoe
county, not from Ormsby and Ormsby
was ready to acceed to their wishes.
They find Carson nearer and bet>
ter market. and would perfer it as
county seat.
Washoe threatened to move the
Prison if the bill passed. Their
Prison removal threat is an old
threadbare bluff and nothing else.
The bill was desired by the Washoe
county petitioners, and should have
passed.

Are Women Responsible I?

It was Marguerite of Valois who
said, with unusual severity for wo-
man, that 1.-The less one sees and knows
men the higher one esteems them"
It is obvious that the cynical Mar
garet really meant to say that the bet
ter one knows men the greater Is ones
contempt for them
These sharp-tOngued assaults are in
teresting and diverting as specimens Of
satirical raillery, but to the analytical
mind they present nothing worth while
The simple truth is, women do not
hold such sentiments towards men;
though every one knows that to a con-
siderable extent they would be justi-
fed in so holding. The general atti-
tude Of women is one of seeming wor-
shipful admiration. This is bad, espe-
eially for very young men, who are
thus puffed up by conceit and made
unspeakably disagreeable, whereas
were they let alone they might disclose
becoming measure of modesty and
self-distrust. 1t is about time for wo-
men to face the fact that they are d.
rectly chargable with most Of the I'M
pleasing characteristics Of man. They
constantly feed his vanity; they habitu-
ally practice duplicity and In their in
tercourse with him the note of SINGER
ity is seldom heard Naturally the
man desires the "clinging trust of the
woman, but he is too dull-headed to
perceive that what he takes for cling
ing trust is clever diplomacy, and it
is an axiom that the only way to be-
come a clever diplomat is to cultivate
deceit.

The First Consul,

Just before the review began we saw
several officers in gorgeous uniforms
ascend the stairs, one of whom, whose
helmet seemed entirely of gold. was
Eugene de Beauharnais. A few min
utes afterwards there was a rush of
officers down the stairs, and among
them | saw short, pale man, with his
hat in his hand, who resembled Lord
ErSkine in profile. But, though my
friend whispered, "C'est lui," l did not
comprehend that [ beheld BOnaparte
till l saw him stand alone at the gate.
In another moment he was on his
horse, while I, trembling with emotion,
gazed on him intently, endeavoring to
commit each expressive, sharply CHS
eled feature to memory, contrasting
also with admiration his small simple
hat, adorned with nothing but little
tri-colored cockade, and his blue coat,
guiltless of gold embroidery, with the
splendid adOrnments of the officers
who followed him.
At length the review ended-toO soon
for me. The First Consul sprang from
his horse. We threw open our door
again, and, as he slowly reascended
the stairs, we saw him very near us,
and in full face, while his bright, rest
less, expressive and, as we fancied,
dark blue eyes beaming from under
long black eyelashes, glanced over us
with a scrutiniZing but complacent
look.-Mrs. Opie, in Tait's Magazine,

Tbe bill will be defeated, as matter
of course. in the House Of Lords. Mort
than 400 Lords have already promised
to support the Marquis of Salisbury il
throwing out the bill. The Earl OF
Kimberly, leader of the Governments
forlorn hope in the House of Lords,
can muster at most forty-two votes.
For every Peer supporting the bill,
therefore, there will be ten opposing
it. There will be little debate on the
bill among the Lords. For three nights
they will devote most Of their time to
dividing against it. Then the bill viii
be discussed in perfunctory way.
Not all UnioniSts look with favor on
the Salisbury plan of rallying an over
whelming majority of Lords to vote
against the bill. Such course, they
feel, must direct general attention tc
the broadening chasm between the
Lords and the Commons, and tend to
precipitate the fight of British democ
racy against the upper house. For
many years the British people have
watched with increasing jealousy the
interference of the Peers with the work
of the popular representatives in the
lower house. The assembling of the
aristocrats to defeat a measure ap.
proved by the Commons after the most
exhaustive debate in Parliamentary
history will not only aggravate this
jealousy, but will also excite more in.

The fact that the silver Senators are

harnesses them. Their programme is
merely one of obstruction, to compe,
concessions. The weakness of such a

EUROPE AGAINST FRANCE.

Great Nations Uphold Germany's Military
Display at Metz.
To understand exactly the present
European situation it would be neces.
sary to read the thoughts Of three per
sonages who are the masters of the
diplomatic game. These three per.
Sonages are the Gar. the Kaiser and
King Humbert Of Italy.
What is visible is, in the first place,
the speech, marked with displeasure
and bad temper, delivered by the Gar
on the occasion Of the Inauguration of
the Port of Libau, in which Alexander
III. declared that the Baltic ought to
be, in spite of all opposition, Russian
lake. The second sign of the times is
the holding of the German army man.
euvres on the French frontier and the
entrance of William ii. into Metz on
the anniversary Of the capitulation of
Sedan, accompanied by the Crown
Prince of Italy. Thirdly, there is the
significant fact that the Italian military
maneuvres are also to be held on the
Italian side of the French frontier, and
that the hatred of Italians against the
French is constantly On the increase.
Beside all these outward and visible
signs England is again protesting, and
more loudly than ever, against the
policy of France in Siam, and seems
now inclined to refuse what she was
only a short time ago ready to accept

England were in combination to

THE GREAT HURRICANE.
latest Details of the Loss of Life and
Property.


z The calamity that devastated Charles
ton and Savannah has continually
grown in magnitude. Reports from
the Sea Islands, near Charleston, say
that bodies are still being found, but,
ii being seven days since the storm,
they are not to be identified They are
quickly placed in the trenches and
covered with earth and an entry made
by the Coroner. This tally, for it can
scarcely be called a record. now foots
up close to 500 as the number of lives
lost in South Carolina. The loss Of
property cannot be well estimated
The loss of the rice crop is close upon
$1,000,000 The loss upon sea island
cotton is estimated at S500,000. The
losses sustained by the railroads and
the telegraph and telephone companies
and the great PHOSPHATE industry were
enormous. Leave all Of these out Of
consideration however, and take those
on individual properties, such as dwell
ingS, stores and small and large craft.
and the total would foot UP a sum
which can only be conjectured, but
which will amount TO many millions.
Reports Of small wrecks continue to be
received.

A creole, strictly speaking. is any

of the word, however, has been by
