COMMON SENSE TEACHING.

The Sacramento Bee believes that
the first duty OF the public school sys-
tenn should be to give the pupil a good
English education. "To that end"
it says, "all frills and furbelows, for
eign and dead languages should be
wiped out from the curriculum OF our
public schools. We have no objec-
tons to letting scholars potter away
with them in Universities, but they
should no8be permitted to cumber
that portion Of the public school which
ends with the high school. Let US
improve our common schools by rid
ding them OF the mess Of weeds which
chokes the garden OF q good, solid En-
glish education"
The Record Union Of Sacramento,
and a number of other noted contem-
poraries, heartily agree with the Bee.
At the University in this State are
professors Of dead languages drawing
salaries, but the University is unable
to Engage a teacher OF mechanical arts,
because OF a lack OF money. Yet the
law under which the University is run.
ming. especially provides that the me-
chanical arts shall be taught. A course
in the mechanical arts is worth more
to q Nevada scholar than ten years OF
dabbling in Latin and Greek.-Carson

There is an item going the rounds
Of the newspapers which states that
miners can secure employment at
Wardner, Idaho, at good wages. Such
is not the case, however. The item is
false and emanated from a Wardner

corporation at war with the miners.
President Quinlan of the Virginia Min

The San Francisco papers tell Of the
trouble which Mrs. Bridget Holland
and her husband, Willard, who re-
Gently arrived in San Francisco from
Nevada, are having. Mrs. Holland
claims that Henry l.. Fox, the stock
broker at 80 Pine street, has swindled
her and has sworn out a warrant for
his arrest, charging him with embez-
element amounting to felony. Mrs.
Holland charged that in 1888, while
her and her husband we're living in
Nevada, she sent Fox $4,000 to invest
for her in stock Of the Spring Valley
Water Company. The commission
was executed satisfactorily, and last
November she sent him 81 1000 more
to be invested in like manner. The
certificates OF stock we're never for
warded by the broker. She became
suspicious and went to San Francisco
for the purpose of making an investi-
CATION. AS a result she claims to have
ascertained that instead Of buying
stock with the 81 900 Fox appropri-
ated the money 10 his own use.

An ASSESSOR.

During the last campaign the APP
peal called attention to the fact that
that the rich Of Carson we're not pay
ing a just proportion Of the taxes. OF
course the Republican papers said this
wasuntrue and charged theAppeal with
all sorts OF fabrications. The Appeal
then printed the assessed values OF
different properties in the city side by
side, and when the taxpayers saw the
discrepancies in the tax roll, it was an
eye opener. The Silver party pledged
the people that the assessments would
be impartial. II was on that issue that
the campaign vas fought, and on that
issue it was won. Among the fragrant
cases OF low assessments the Appeal
pointed out that the Opera House val
uation Of 81 900 and Hume Yerington
81 900. Each OF these assessments
were raised this yeer to IS, 900, andthe
people thus assessed have the good
sense not to kick, because they know
that the valuation is not exorbitant.
Under a Republican rule the wealthy
corporations and citizens of Ormsby
have crawled out Of paying their just
proportion of taxes, and the poor have
been Obliged to bear the extra burden.
No wonder the county has been on a
scrip basis three years. If the wealthy
tax dodgers Of Ormsby would step up
to the counter and pay their back taxes
county warrants would be at par in
Ormsby county.

SCISSOR in office who has nc favors to
ask OF any one and fears nobody

RICH IDAHO PLACERs.

Great interest Is aroused in the
placer discoveries on the Snake river
three miles below American Falls,
Idaho. Though there is rich ground
along that stream for the entire dis
lance across the State, the gold is 80
fine that only in q few places has any
profit attended mining operations.
Therefore when the American Falls
discoveries we're announced but little
attention was paid to them, as it was
supposed IL was another case in which
enthusiasm was caused by the richness
Of the ground from which it would
prove impracticable TO save the values.
Results, however, show that gold there
can be saved, and that returns ar
very large. The rich ground is found
on both sides Of the river and it reaches
back as far as it has been prospected,
though there is at present little en-
enlargement to go far back from the
stream, owing to the difficulty Of get
ting water. A singular feature OF the
ground is that gold is distributed
through 1t all, even the top soil being
"pay." The ground is plowed and
dumped into the sluices with scrapers.
Returns vary from $50 to $40 per shift,
with four men. Where powders are
met with rich pockets are found under
and where lava bedrock is ex-
posed, the seams are found to be very
rich.

of the best observers this service ever
