GREETED exceedingly that the hard
times necessitated such course.
The papers are full Of robberies,

Humans must live, and while men

very souls for the necessities of life.
Someone, or rather some few, are
to blame for all this, and unless the

a day of reckoning, such as will
cause blood TO flow like water, and
there will be reign of terror which

Nevada War Claims.

of California, Nevada and Oregon
FIR money expended by them in sup
pressing the War of the Rebellion.
Those States organized volunteers,

to les west of he Rocky Mountains
Ike ping the lnditns in subsection.
They fought the Utes and Shoshohes
in Utah, the Bannocks in Idaho, the
Piutes and Western Shoshones in
Nevada, and the Apaches in Arizona
and New Mexico.
The amount expended by Nevada,
as ascertalned by commission APP
pointed by the General Governm ent,
was about 100000. Senators Stew
art and Jones twice succeeded in
getting appropriation bills through
the Senate to reimburse the State,
but the House ON both occasions de
feated the bills 1t is to be hoped
that this time the House will be
more considerate and include the
amount due Nevada in the general
appropriation bill.
If the State treasury was replen
ished by the Federal Government to
the amount of $500, 600, Nevada
could pay all it owes, except the ir-
redeemable school bond, and have
money left. The amount is but a
drop in the bucket mpIred with the
benefit the Nation derived from Ne
vada when it needed coin. it is
small, too, In comparison with the
profits of the Government on the
coinage of Nevada silver under the
Standard Dollar act of 1878, and,
moreover, it is justly due for money
expended in good cause.-Jour-
