A bill is to be introduced at the COM
ing session of the legislature which viii
change the Australian ballot law by al
lowing propositions to come before the
legislature to be voted on at elections in
much the same manner that people now
vote on bond propositions and constitu-

If an important measure is to come

fore congress the question would be
stated on the ballot and the voters
would be given an opportunity to eX-

The only amendment that III is now
necessary to make to the Australian
ballot law as it now stands would be
the following.
provided, also. that any public meas
ure or proposition of government may
be submitted to the people by petition
in the same manner as provided by
law for the nomination OF candidates by
petition.
In a circular issued describing the
proposed change in the law appear the
following examples of how the ques-
ton might be submitted.

DR.. Warnook has come to the conclusion
that hasheesh smoking is one of the chief
causes Of mental disease in Egypt. The
evil effects Of this drug are felt not only in
Egypt, but in all eastern countries, and
DR.. Warnock thinks that its use should be
prohibited by legislation. 1t is almost
certain that the Egyptian government will
before long be compelled to place stringent
restrictions upon the sale of the drug in
Cairo, where it can now be obtained in
nearly every street at a small cost

Advice to Money Sharks.

State Journal: The New York World,
like all gold trust papers, whether Demo-
cratic or Republican, is opposed to the elect
ion Of William ]. Bryan to the Presidency.
1t fears, however, that the acts OF the gold
gamblers will elect him, and embraces the
opportunity afforded by the organization
of Wall Street Bankers and Brokers' Nc
Kinley club to say So 1t tells these money
sharks that il they hope for the success of
the gold standard they must secretely work
for Mckinley, because the masses OF the
people will oppose anything they want on
the general principal that what they desire
is not for the benefit of the country. Here
is one Of the sentences which the World
uses in an article on these gold iugglers;
'lt ia you, gentlemen Of the gambling ex-
changes, manipulators of money corners,
organizers of swindlng trusts, wreckers OF
railroads, shearers of lambs, tax dodgers
and absorbers Of money that you never
earned, who have done more than all the
ignorant laundering at Washington and all
the demagogy at the South and West to
raise the specter of anarchy and Populism
at which you now stand atfrighted."

Owing to the successful efforts
OF MIR. w. V. Rice and associates in the re.
duction of ores in our town, it has caused
an increased demand of water from the
Pioche water Co. and as Mining is our only
resource it must be fostered. Therefore:
the use of water for irrigating lawns and
gardens is absolutely prohibited unless re.
venue from this source can be derived to
develop the springs of this Company to their
fullest capacity. To accomplish this tax
of five $500 dollars per month on each
square rod Of lave or garden "a watered,
is hereby levied, TO take effect this 9th, day
of August 1896
People wishing the use of water for this
purpose must make application to the Com
pany's Agent.
Economy in the use of water for all pur.
poses, is demanded.
This amounts to a prohibitive tariff for
gardens purposes and probabilities are that
spots of grass aud flowers will shortly be al
higher premium than ever.
