Senator Lexow appears to be directly re-
sponsble for the Senates failure to confirm the
nomination Of Silas W. Burt as a Civil Service
Commissioner. but no one will assume that he
is acting on his own responsibility Mr.. Lexow
has the reputation of man who takes orders.
Acting on the advice Of the men who are pro-
foundly interested in Civil Service Reform, Gov
erpor Morton nominated Mr.. Burt as the Demo
cratic member Of the Commission. Mr.. Burt
has thorough knowledge Of the Civil Service
laws and profound sympathy with Civil Ser
vice principles. He has acted with the Demo
cratic party for years. The only objection to
him is that he Is too good man for the place.
Governor Morton is known arientiy to desire
Mr.. Burt's confirmation. Yet Senator Lexow
has asked as personal favor to have the NOM
nation hung up and has succeeded III

To The Legislature of the State Of Ner'

To The Legislature of the State Of Nsr-
ada in the 18th Session Assembled:
Whereas Assembly Bill No. 81, in
troduced by Mr.. Noel proposes to enact
among other things that that portion OF
the county OF Washoe including Wade
worth shall be set off from the county of
Washoe and form . part Of the county OF
Lyon, We, your petitioners, residents
and taxpayers of the town OF Wads-
worth, would most respectfully repre-
sent:
That the town OF Wadsworth is ono Of
the most prosperous in the State of New
ada having q population of nearly, II
not quite, one Thousand souls, requiring
q large amount of business at the seat OF
government of the county to which 1t
belongs.
That the voting population OF this
town 10 larger han that OF the county Of
Churchill, or Of the county OF Nye and
nearly that of two other counties OF the
State.
That we are, as community, entirely
satisfied with our situation as regards
our county boundaries. That because
Of the geographical situation and means
Of communication, the town of Reno is
the proper place for us to transact our
legal business.
That the town of Dayton, the county
seat of Lyon county, to which THE bill
proposes to attach us, 10 far from us, ly-
ing eighty miles from here, with nothing
more than q COW trail to mark the path
way-across a barren and bleak desert
over which q carrion bird would barely
dare to wander-a tract of country with
out q watering place. miners cabin
which a benighted traveller could stop to
rest.
That because Of this formidable bar
rier there ia no possibility of II people
being able to transact their ordinary
business with the court held at Dayton.
save by travelling by rail, first over the
Southern Pacific railroad from Wade
worth to Reno, q distance of So miles,
thence from Reno to Mound House over
the Virginia & Truckee, q distance of Al
miles, thence over the Carson & Colora-
do railroad, from Mound House to Day
ton, q distance Of 8 miles, compelling US
upon every visit to the county seat to
pay tribute to three railroad companies,
each of which would improve the oppor-
tunity to make US pay all the traffic will
bear.
Because of the reason herein set forth,
we would respectfully suggest that if
any change were to be made in our
county boundaries acherein WodsWorth
would be affected, that because OF our
business relations and geographical pos
ition the town OF Wadsworth should be
attached to the county of Churchill,
this being the railroad point from which
all freight shipments are made to and
from Churchill county and the point to
which all of her people come to do bust
ness.
Respectfully submitted,
ALL WADSWORTH.

A citizen OF our neighboring county
writes: .
EDITOR DISPATCH IL notice by the
DISPATCH that some gentleman by the
name OF Noel Wilo desires To make a
recold for himself and who halls from
Virginia City. has introduced u bill en-
acting that portion OF Washoe count,
% mfrising the town OF " ellsworth shall
be attached to Lyon county. Now, while
the gentleman evidently has the right,
as a member OF the Legislature to intro
duce the bill, We cana0t believe that
the members Of either branch OF our Leg
isidture Woutd c0umteaance such az out
rage as the one proposed.
Now l have proposition to make to
these people who want to rip the ID
bowles ont OF Wasiioe. Give Wadsworth
TO Churchill County. BY doing this you
would not be working a hardship upon
anyone. Churchill County is Wads-
worth's natural ally. Her people without,
exception 90 TO Wadsworth to do theil
trading. Wadsworth is the only rail-
road point iJr all her produce, beef,
mutton, wool, borax, soda. barley,
wheat. ETC., are all shipped from Wads-
worth. Her mail lines all center at
!" ellsworth and her territory lies conti-
guous. Churchill's and Wadsworth's
people are closely allied in social and
business relations. To join ellsworth
to Churchill would not be- an injustice,
on the contrary it would be Il benefit 10
all parties interested. The State and
County taxes in Churchill last year were

worth the taxes could easily BIZ reduced
to 5 1.60 and less. How can the lines be
drawn I accomplish this? Look AZ the
map of the state. You will observe that
only q strip Of territory, six miles wide
separates Washoe county and the tow
OF Wsdsworth and Churchill on thu
east. This strip belongs to Lyon county
Exchange this striO OF land o
Madsworth for a like aniotnt west o.
Wadsworth, giving the former including
one mile more to Churchill county, and
you have placed Madsworth in Chur-
chill, have not taken anything from
Lyon, leaving Storey and Washoe TO
fight it out. Ii the lines are to be
changed this ~ the proper manner,
doing Justice TO all.
