GEO. S. Nixon, of the Winnemuc-
ca SilUer State, has announced that
he is a candidate for u. S. Senator
from this State. What's in the wind,
now? We would like to see Nixon
in the Senate or Lower House, but
it seems to us he is getting into the
fight at rather a late date. Senator
Jones made his fight during the
campaign, and it is understood that
about three-fourths of the members
of the Legislature are pledged to
support him. For Nixon to win it
means he would have to purchase
some Of Jones' supporters, and that
would mean that someone was be-
hind Nixon. Or, maybe, this fight
is on to loosen up the Jones stock
ing" Nixon is a good silver man,
however, and if he gets away with
the toga he will work with all his
might to bring about free coinage.
He is basing his claim to the posi-
tion on the ground that he is bona
fdc resident of the State.

every instance with the sums turned into the
treasury.
In the office of the County Auditor and Re
corder we found all the accounts correct and
the balances to agree with those of the County
Treasurer.
Upon tracing all the sources of revenue 10
the Treaserer's Office we found them properly
presented in the cash book, journal and ledger
and the books all kept in neat and business
like manner. The Clerks fee book was exam
ined and the amounts found to correspond
with the returns made by that officer.
We examined the bonds of the several diff
ferent county officers and came to the conclu-
sion that said bonds were good and sufficient,
and as reliable as can be procured in the
county.
Respectfully submitted,

The people of the East are
making side leaps now to keep out
OF the way of the wave of prosper
ity that is sailing over the country.
The first of the week the Illinois
National Bank, OF Chicago, shut
DIP; failing for several million dol
lars. The next day the Mime
sofa Bank closed its doors, and sew
eral smaller institutions have gone
under on account of the large fail
ures. Crowd that wave along.

THERE is no doubt now that
Msceo, the brave Cuban leader, is
dead. He was lured into a trap and
foully assassinated; then the brave
(?) Spaniards reported a conflict
and his death on the field. The
hearts Of all trne Americans will
beat in sympathy for Maceo, and
his name will long be remembered.
Juan Rus Rivera is the new COM
mander of the Cuban forces. He
was formerly second in command
to Maceo. He is a native of Porto
Rico and gave his services to the
revolntionists during the "Ten
Years War" He is of wealthy
Spanish family, but believes in the
freedom of Cuba. He is a fighter
and General and made of the right
stuff rs will be understood from the
fact that at the close of the war in
1878 he refused to accept the sur
render made by the Cubans, and
gave his machete to a friend, telling
him to keep it until it was again
necessary to draw it in Cuba's cause.

Owing to the limited time which was allotted
us to examine the accounts. and. moreover. on
account of the date of the year being such that
taxes have not been paid in full, and the AS

amounts representing the funds of the county

HORSES.

den ever the country for two or
three days to buy farm team of
young, sound mares, we said in
these columns that such animals
were absolutely scarce and that the
owners demanded and got good
price for them, says the Ohio Farm
cr There were plenty of old horses,
unsound ones and of bad breeding,
and these could be bought very low.
Attendance at any of the large auc-
ton sales of the country this Fall
will convince any one that this con-
dition of things prevails pretty gen.
orally, as an undue proportion OF
the offerings are of the kind mot
wanted" forced upon the market
at low prices, and, like inferior,
cheap articles of any kind, have a
deleterious effect upon prices of bet
ter kinds.
Farmers began to quit breeding
horses three or four years ago, and
the result indicated above was in
evitable, viz, that young, sound,
desirable animals should become
scarce by this time. Statistics
gathered by the Department of Agri
culture show that since 1893 the
number of horses in the country
has decreased more than LOO, 900
head. The Western Horseman, com
menting upon this condition of
affairs, confirms what we said last
Summer, and reiterates now, as
follows:
"As the horses now in this coun-
try become older the death rate will
become considerably larger, and it
is a fact patent to every one that
has any acquaintance with the horse
business that there are few two-year-
olds, less number of yearlings,
and one has but to take a twenty
mile drive through the county in
any direction to be convinced that
there are practically no weanlings
and a correspondingly small num-
Der of mares in foal. We predict
that for the year 1896 the January
report of the Department of Agri-
culture will show a decrease of at
least one million horses, and it is
not within the power of man to re-
plenish this great decrease within
the next FIVE or six years"
The bicycle is not replacing as
many horses as imagined, by good
deal. The bike is used largely by
young people who do not own or
keep horses. The "horseless vehi-
Gle" of practical utility is still an
anticipation, and the motor that
can take the place of the horse on
the track, on the road and on the
farm is remote possibility. Civ
iization and business need the
horse and must have it. When the
productive industries of this coun-
try get started again there will be
such a boom in horses that will
sicken the farmer who has robbed
himself of the opportunity to profit
by it.
