When lovely woman stoops TO folly. things
generally get melancholy. The quotation
may not be exactly correct. but it states con-
gealed fact. A certain amount of folly may
be forgiven the dear creatures; in fact, men
rather expect it OF them, but It must be folly
Of the not-to-be-stooped TO persuasion.
For instance, when number OF women sit
down and victimize each other or some male
friends in a game Of progressive euchre. it is
all right and proper enough, but when they
tlirt with the royal Bengal tiger or are in
intent upon straight nushes and iackpots,
why then they stoop and are just the least
bit naughty.
American women are the queens OF their
sex Washington women the empresses. They
are Of theme plus ultra" kind. An i'm
preston exists that when nature contemplates
a Washington woman she mods AT herself in
her mirror and thinks she has performed a
chef d'puvre. It IL worse than melancholy,
therefore, TO learn that some of our en-
presses-society ompresses, at that-have
taken up gambling in real earnest, and "sit
In q game" with as much ardor and per-
severance as the men who linger through the
hours OF night and don't come home till
morning.
Why viii our lovely women stoop to such
folly? Do they no. know that they lose the
respect Of those whose respect they most cher
ish? Do they think IT adds to their beauty to
watch with feverish pulse and hectic flush
and swapping eyes the turn of a card? Per-
haps they even use mental "cuss words"
when they get nine spot and the other fell
low-girl, we mean gets an ace. Is all this
an outgrowth Of the female club and is the
female product of fin de steele citnlzAGon u
confirmed gambler?

Good Business Opportunity.

On account of various matters in
which he is interested demanding SO
much of his attention II. IL. Cowles
finds that he cannot devote the proper
amount OF time to his grocery business
at Wadsworth and hereby announces
that he will sell for cash in hand, the
building at Wadsworth in which is
located his general merchandise store,
the lot on which it stands, a large fire
proof cellar, the stock Of goods on hand,
the good will, etc, etc. The goods are
all fresh, nothing ,hop worn. The bus
mess is a prosperous II and the only
reason for selling is to enable Mr.. Cowles
to give all OF his time to other industries
in which he is engaged. Wadsworth is
the best business town in Nevada today
and this opening offers a splendid OPP
p~ortunity for some good man to locate
in Wadsworth. Call on r. H. Cowles
at the store.

Comm MS 70. Our Commissioners.

As q tax producer for Washoe connty
the records will show that Wadsworth
has contributed her share. A coming
of the Mashoe comfy disbursement
sheet will also show that Wadsworth
has never been favored with ANYTHING
like a proportionate share of the fund
for maintaining roads or maintaining
public buildings. The time has come
when some of II enterprising citizens
are asking how long this condition OF
affairs is going to exist. Every citizen
in town who has a home here hastaken
pride in that home as witness the
beautiful cottages and cleanly yards.
There is a loud cry Tor the grading of
orr principal streets that they be kept
in conformity with the buildings facing
them and the private improvements on
every side OF them. The attention of
some OF Reno's sterling men has been
called to this matter and a sight of the
o%ffenses makes the fact patent that the
county should get right in and do the
needful. These gentlemen say they will
bear witness before the County Commits
sioners if spch action is necessary to call
the Boards attention to this woeful state
OF affairs. The Inconsistency of a crib
for a Jail standing in the midst of a
town of beautiful and neatly painted
cottages, is painful. The commissioners
have promised to remove the clubhouse
and put something decent and respec-
table in its place. Men Of the day don't
grow fat on promises; there ss nutri-
mentgin action. e o

This will be anything but encourag-
ing news to the owners and employees
Of the mills and factories Of shas coun-
try. After two years Of a depression
of business such as was never before
known in this country, with profits
wholly cut off, with reductions in
wages amounting to more taan 25 per
cent, and with enforced idieness on
the part of thousands of skilled work
men, the information that, through
the democratic tariff, European fac
tories are running under pressure to
fill orders from this country, will be
received with profound disgust as
well as dismay. The worklngmen
who so voted as to give the democrats
power to enact the tariff theories into
law, can now see exactly the effect of
their action. They will soon have an
opportunity to reverse that action.

missioners, Titcomb and Warren, a
suspicious looking bottle was set up
alongside drinking glass on table

and that the curiosity of some was SO
aroused that they sampled the stuff.
The thing is creating quite talk and
scandal, and it was reported in Mont
pelier that Governor Woodbury. had
called for the resignation of Titcomb
and Warren. We hope the Governor
has ordered the fellows out, and, if he
has not, he will do it forthwith. The
printed report Of the Commissioners
has the look Of extravaganza and Of
very curious accounting, and if they
really set out bait of that sort Of per-
suation, this in itself is reason enough
why they should step down and out.

MADAGASCAR.

Madagascar is the third island in
the world in point OF dimensions, be-
ing almost thousand miles in length
and $50 in extreme breadth, a terri
tory large enough for quite serious
efforts of invasion and defence, and
containing native population of
about 100000. They are an ingeni
Gus and pleasant people, taken as a
whole, though they present marked
tribal differences, and their fighting
qualities, so far as they have been
tested, are not at all to be despised.
The army Of the Hovas, which is the
dominant tribe, numbers from 10000
to 10000 men, who have been organ
lied, drilled and officered in some de-
gree according to European stand
ards, and is a factor to be estimated
in the commercial and political rival
ries of outside nations, which may
have to be settled there. The ex
ports Of the island have increased
greatly in recent years, and it may
have an important industrial and pro-
present complications are adjusted.
It's products are India rubber, spices,
gums, coffee, cotton, tobacco, hemp,
dyewoods, indigo, cattle and hides,
and its trade is SO we'll worthy the
attention OF all the commercial ma
tions that no one of them will be al
lowed to monopolize it. 1t is yet
backward in manufactures, but shows
great cleverness in that direction,
turning out elaborate and beautiful
work in metals and a variety Of cloths
of silk, cotton, hemp and fibers OF the
palm, which are Of general use in the
island and find a ready sale wherever
they are exported.
It's political history is brief, dating
from .he early years of the present
century, and 10 not particularly thrill
ing, though the founder OF it's present
policy and dynasty, Radama l, ap-
pears to have been a chic tain fit to
rank among the builders Of States
and to have worn fine lineaments Of
delboration and authority. He drew
the scattered and discordant tribes
of the island into a tolerably harmo-
nious confedera"y with himself as Su-
zerain and gave to the State thus ere
ated the form and presence it has
since worn. It has not been inhOs-
pitable nor churlish IN it's Intercourse
with o1her nations, though i5 ratural-
ly reseuCs tao attempt OF France to
superseQe It's authority ana practi
cally treat it ike conquered power.
The real reason Of the commOtion
which now centers about the island
is that it has suddenly become a STRAIT
egic point of the highest Importance,
and i'll the possession of q naval pow
er of the first class would threaten
the entire commerce of the Eastern
seas and the integrity of all existing
European authority in the Eastern
lands. The question involved will
very likely be settled in council,
though they are important enough to
fight for, if it were necessary. -Trib-

ANOTHER JUNKET.

To speak plainly, the Vermont leg
islature Of 1894 is making an unenvia-
bic reputation. So far, we believe it
has adjourned every week Of the ses-
sion, either ON Thursday afternoon, or
on Friday forenoon, to meet the next
Monday afternoon. This means that
many members, anticipating the ad
journment, will leave on the day Of
adjournment and that only minority
will return Monday forenoon to
participate in the business of that
day. Hence three straight days or
more are lost each week from labors
in the two houses. A little work out
side may be done.
Last week the adjournment was
made for junket to Rutland on Fri
day. There is a controversy over the
adjustment OF lines between the city
and the town. A regularly appointed
committee had been on the ground to
look the matter over, and, SO far as
necessity went, there was no earthly
need Of the loss Of time and the ex
pensa incurred in running such part
of the legislators as were indiscreet
enough to make the trip to Rutland,
ostensibly to look over the situation,
but really, on the part Of many NOM
bers, to spend the day on pleasant
junketing trip. On the other hand
the city Of Rutland was proposing to
to receive, to entertain, to wine and
to dine the members gratis, and there
by to win their favor and bias their
Judgment in favor of their scheme in
the legislature. Men of good politi-
cal and business Judgment ought to
have spurned the idea of going at all,
and men of good consciences ought
to have considered the invitation and
the offer on the part of Rutland to
feed and iOnize the crowd as an in
suit to their honesty and the dignity
Of their position. Such a thing is sim
ply a scandal. It looks as though it
would soon come to that, that as
soon as an Individual or town has a
scheme, legitimate or otherwise, to
carry out by aid of legislature, it only
becomes necessary to hire train, get
an adjournment and start off on
junketing excursion. The members
of this Or some other legislature, per-
haps, can afford to indulge in thing
Of this sort, but the people and the
good name Of the State, must suffer
and be scandalized by such perform
ances. Some of the legislators have
not had every opportunity in the
world before, and they seem bent on
making the most of single term at
the capital. They expect to die as
one term onlys and they seem to de-
serve their fate.
AS the legislature costs the State
81 200 day it would seem that mem
bers would feel that their time was of
value and that they could put
at least five days into work a week,
for which they receive $21 and GER
tain mileage fees. We are sorry that
eight members Of the House and one
senator from this county got their
names into print last Thursday in ia
vor Of the three days. adjournment.
