There IS something horrible in death
from starvation when the victims succ umb
in regions far from the haunts of men and
under circumstances that render relief al
most impossible, but the horror is magni-
fed many times when hunger snatches it's
prey from the midst of a community in
which there is plenty and a vast quantity
CT that spirit which makes the plenty
available in cases of distress. That two
people should be overtaken by cold and
want In a prairie dug-out would not be
surprising but there is something awful in
the fact that a woman and her son should
die within this city for lack of a little food
and trifiins quantity of fuel. Such ex-
IRENE cases as that referred to are graft
fyingly rare, but it seems as though our
charities should be so systematized and so
well-supported as to render impossible an
occurrence like that to which reference
has beel made and which was described
yesterday.

How much will free pass on a railway
buy? That is the question which suggests
itself when legislators. judges and other
persons ~holding positions of high public
trust are known to be carrying around a
pocket full oil tn I'm. On this point read
what the Presi lent of the New York Cen
trail railroad says:
"AIl but ten members of the late Con-
stitutional Convention rode on personal
passes granted by myself. and as an ex-
ample of gall some have written to have
their passes extended into the new year."
1t Is difficult to conceive a statement
more shamefui than this,-one more dis
creditable to the persons involved or more
discouraging to those who hope for honesty
and purity in public officials.

would result in great saving of money and
n wcr1erful elevation of the character
CT government architecture. There is
nothing revolutionary in the measure so
far as the efficient force of the supervis-
irg architects Office is concerned. There
is nothing unreasonable in the contention
of those who are supporting this bill that
construction under it's provisions will be
quite thirty per cent cheaper that the
average period of the erection of govern
ment buildings will be reduced fully three
years and that in many other ways con-
ditions VIII be materially bettered. Friends
of the movement are very emphatic in de-
c!aring that reliable figures indisputably
demonstrate that with this bill in force the
coTntrJ will have better buildings and less
expensive buildings and buildings more
rapidly av tilable for use than is the
custom under present conditions: rational
estimate is that the saving in cash would
amount to at least one million dollars a
year. With our city post-oi!ice building
before its eyes, and with far 100 many
similar examples scattered throughout the
land, Congress should have no difficulty
whatever in reaching q conclusion favor
able TO the architectural commission bill.

end many bills have been introduced in
Congress. but through adverse conbina-

Though bad are the bipeds who can sin

Though bad are the bipeds who can sing
and won't
QnclufIing man, woman and birD,
Though silence is sometimes social af-
front
And hostess is righteously stirred,
There is one whom much more we have
cause to deplore
Than the singer that's able but shy
'Tis the sodden. relentless inveterate bore
Who can't, but is willing to try.
He will cpen his throat though he knows
not a note,
In speech he is lavishly free;
With ponderous ease he'll recite and mis-
quote
He will even essay repartee!
In serene self-esteem he will blunder away
Unlindered-for brave men will fly
From this creature so gay. of whom kindly
folk say.
He cant-but he's willing to try"

Very Proper.

The Board of Supervisors of Inyo
county have directed their County
Physician to publish the name, ma
tionality and date of death OF every
person dying in the County Hos
pital. This is correct thing to do,
and it should be done in every
count in the State. Many person
dies in a county hospital without
the knowledge of any one outside
the walls of that institution, and
friends of the parties never know
what became of them. Such publ
cations would enlighten friends as
to the end of many a wandering
boy" and relieve the anxiety OF
parents. Bridgeport Chronicle.
This same thing should be done
in every county in this State, but
we think the matter should be in
the hands of the Boards of Com
missioners.

That Gypsum Item.

An item on gypsum has been
going the rounds of the press for
the past week or two, and the Vir-
ginia Chronicle and Enterprise had
rag chewing match about who
should have credit for the article.
The Carson appeal reached for the
bun, and maybe got it. But to
show how little things travel and
get enlarged and mixed up and the
starting point lost, let us recite the
history of the Gypsum Item"
Last January the TIMES had an ar
ticle about the Lyon county gyp-
sum deposit near the Mound House,
stating that gypsum was being ia
ken out for shipment to San Fran
cisco, where it was to be used for
stucco work, etc. The Carson Ap-
peal copied the item and added
little to it. The next we saw of it,
was a four-stick item in the San
Francisco Chronicle, part of it be-
ing credited to the appeal. Next
it appeared in the ST. Louis Repatb-
lie, under the Farm and Garden"
news, greatly enlarged, and giving
information about the use of gyp-
sum as fertilizer. Next the arti-
Gle appeared in the american Agri-
culturist and was credited to the
Republic. The next we saw of the
item was in the Bishop Creek Reg
ister, where it was reprinted from
some eastern agricultural journal.
Then it got into the Virginia City
papers, and they began pulling hair
to see who was entitled to the claim
the scoop" (?).
