COMMISSIONERS DISTRICTS.

At the last session of the Legis-
lature a law was enacted which
provides for the division of coun-
ties into Commissioner Districts.
1t stipulates that upon petition OF
twenty per cent. of the qualified
electors of any county to the Board
of County Commissioners the Board
shall divide the county into three
districts, each district to contain,
as near as may be, one-third of the
voting population of the county.
These districts shall be composed
wholly of one or more election pre-
cincts in the county, and the cleo
ton of a Commissioner in each
District shall take place the same
as other township officers are elect
ed-tbat is by the votes of only
those electors who are residents OF
the District in which the Commits
sioner is nominated.
There is now petition in circu-
lation in this county asking that
the Commissioners divide the coun-
ty into Districts as follows: Day
ton, Sutro, Churchill and Come
precincts to comprise one district;
Silver City and Mound House pre-
cincts to comprise one district, and
Mason Valley, Smith Valley and
Wabuska precincts to comprise one
district. This will be as near a
one-third division as possible. 1t
will place in one district about 260
voters, in another little over 200,
and in the third about $50. There
is no doubt that the petition will
receive more than the required
number OF signatures. 1t is neces-
sary that the Board of Commits
sioners shall act on this matter al
its next meeting-next Monday-as
the law requires the division into
districts to be made on or before
the first Monday in July, preceding
any general election. n

IT is now certain that the tariff
bill will not be disposed Of next
week and it is doubtful whether the
final vote can be reached week after,
as separate votes will be demanded
upon many of the amendments after
the bill is reported to the Senate
from the committee of the whole,
and there are indications that there
will be lots of speechmaking on
some of them, notably the sugar
schedule, which may be modified,
if the Populist Senators and some
of the Democrats will vote as they
talk, but that is, of course, matter
of doubt. The general belief is that
the Populist Senators, with the ex-
ception of Stewart, have bound
themselves to the Democratic man.

several concessions made to them,

rily favors the trust.

THE assassination OF Sadi Carnot,
President of the French republic,
is a terrible blow to France. 1t is
also a lesson to teach the people
that anarchy should be suppressed
in its infancy. There would have
been more cause for such a deed in
this country than in France. II

corrupted by monied powers will

We believe in the issuance OF
gold and silver as money metals,
maintained on a par. We do not
believe there will be permanent
return of prosperity to our country
until the full use and highest po-
sition of silver shall be restored
and we favor such legislation as
will bring about this result.
The above Is the hell-roaring free
coinage plank that was adopted in
Denver at the meeting Of the Ma
tional Republican league. MIR. Bar
tine and Mr.. Foley represented thi
State, but as good free coinage men
as they are, they failed to convince
the Eastern members. Next season
this league will probably meet in
San Francisco to educate Califor-
mans on bimetdllism.

REPUBLICAN SILVER RECORD.

The Republican papers of this
State that are trying to make the
people believe that the only road
to free coinage is that travelled by
Republicans, will not find much
consolation in hunting up the rec
ord of that party on the silver ques-
ton. 1t is what parties do when
in power, and not what they prom
Use to do while out, that settles the
question of their intention and sin
cerity, says the Nonconformist
Briefly told the Republican record
on silver is as follows:

1t is stated that the shoes worn by

the styles are peculiar and as fiuctu-
ating as anything in millincry-and
the work is done by men skilled in that
delicate art
Just now boots are the rage. They
are made with medium heels, pointed
toes, rather long vamps, buttoned and
laced and deity turned solcs almost as
thin as parchment. What is called
mirror satin is used great deal These
boots are worn in the dance, the opin-
ion being that by supporting the ankle
the power of resisting fatigue is in
creased. They cost the fastidious lady
fifteen dollars a pair, and she usu-
ally orders three pair during the
winter. Low shoes are about the same
price. In addition to these silk boots
a couple pairs delicate brown, pearl

Rapidly the guests were called out

The quick wit of the leader and his
