St. Peter sits at the heavenly
gates, his hands on the strings of
the Tyre, and sings low song as he
patiently waits for the souls of those
who expire. He hears in the dis
tance chorus of song swell from
the foot of the heavenly throne, and
he smiles as the music is waited
along and he warbles a lay of his
own: "There is room in this region
for millions of souls, who by sorrow
and woe were bereft, It's for those
who have suffered the melody rolls,
but the kickers must turn to the
left. There is room for the people
who, when they were young, persist
ed in sowing wild oats, yet doomed
up their town with sinew and
tongue, but the kickers must &c
with the goats. There is room fol
the people who pointed with pride
to the beauty and growth of their
town, who kept singing their praises
aloud till they died, but the kickers
will please amble down. They'd
say the music was all out of tune
and the angelic gown hand me
down" and they'd send for jewel
er to the moon to sample the gold
in their crown So while there is
room for a million of souls, who by
sorrow and woe were bereft, we
want no complaint of the music
that rolls, SO the kicker must turn
to the left UnknoWn.

Cubans will win.

Captain J. H. McGarvey, an old
Texas veteran has just returned
from Cuba.
On October 16, last, he left Key
West for Cuba in charge of the
Viesta, with a crew of eight men.
AT Key West the Viesta was load
ed with arms and ammunition
branded as lard, bacon, ETC., and
he was instructed to turn the cargo
over to an insurgent commander.
On reaching the Cuban coast he was
chased by Spanish man ofwar
and was compelled to beach his yes
sci, which he did, and then burned
it in order to keep the Spanish from
getting it.
He and his crew struck out from
their landing place, near Matanzas,
for the interior, and joined the in
surgents.
Captain McGarvey says the
Cubans have at least $4,000 men
under arms, that they are well sup
piled with guns and ammunition
and also receive supplies Of money
regularly from the United States.
He remained with the troops un-
til fortnight ago, and says he
traversed nearly the entire western
portion of the island.
He says that the Cubans have
the Spaniards completely whipped
and at their mercy, but he cannot
understand why they don't take
Havana and bring hostilities to
close. This be claims they can do
at any time they see fit. The reports
Of Spanish victories he brands as
tissues Of lies.

Only Entitled TO Existence.

Many employers of labor seem to
think that wages should be reduced
because dollar will buy more to-
day than it would a few years ago,
saws the abor editionof the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press. This idea was strong
ly pressed before the city council
when it had under consideration
the tax budget and the proposed
reduction in salaries. These people
seem to think that all a working
man is entitled to is just sufficient
to clothe and feed him, and that all
the profits of his labor should be
con6scated for the benefit of those
who hire him. We are not willing
to admit that the purchasing power
of a dollar is SO much greater, as
some people seem to suppose, and
if it is. we contend that tits no rea-
son for robbing the workingman by
reducing his wages.

Drs. Talmage and Sutherland seen
by Miss Wilbur.

Miss Wilbur, New York woman,
recently dressed herself as a poor
factory girl and visited the eminent
divines in that city to see how they
would greet her as a poor and
working girl. After meeting with
a freezing reception from Suther-
land here is what she has to say of
the interview with Talmage:
/ next went over to the Arlington
Hotel and went in the ladies' en-
trance of the annex. A colored
hallboy sprang to the door to open
it for me, and then almost let it
close in my face as he took in my
disreputable appearance.

"Sit down in the parlor," said
the fellow, and then as | did so he
fingered a moment to consider eth
er his errand or me. I've 10 doubt
both were unusual. But he sent
the message, and presently returned
with the reply that DR.. Talmage
would be right down.

he was so self contained and frown-

know of no item of expenditure which will
be less during the present year than during the
past But there are several items Of expendi-
ture which will have to be paid from the reve-
nues of the present year which we did not
have in 1895, which are as follows: Lyon Coun-
ty's proportion of Esmeralda Bonds which ma
.ure in April, 1897, amounting to s4S22.10, and
election expenses amounting to about s.. 400 90,
making in all about s6.722.l0
The levy in 1895 for general County purposes
was $l.15. but it was not enough as shown by
the balances, and to meet the increased expen-
ses which will have to be met from the reve-
nue. Of 1896 will require an increased rate,
which / would suggest should be as follows:
THE levy for general county purposes is linn
tied by law to 81. so per hundred
For General Fund. ............. .......$ 1 so
For Common School Fund ... .... 45
For Interest and Redemption Fund -. SO
For State Fund fixed by law). .....,... so
Total on each 500, O,...........$ 3 IS
The assessed valuation of property will not
probably be any greater during 1896 than in
1885, and the Interest and REDEMPTION fund is
low, and the rate for General fund limited by
law, which necessitates an increase in the rate
for Interest and Redemption fund so that we
can draw some from this to pay Emeralda
County bonds. Should there be surplus at
the end of the fiscal year 1t can be applied to
the payment of the bonds of 1887, which can
be paid at any time. The School funds are in
healthy condition and think rate OF 45 cts.
on the hundred will be ample to keep the
schools running in coed condition.
