The loss by fire at the state lunatic asy-
lum will put a new burden upon the state
at very inopportune time. when it is de-
sirable that funds shoulds be found for
changing the convict system. However,
while the loss. is considerable, the people
of the state will feel profoundly thankful
that it did not extend beyond property to
human life. With hundreds of persons in
capable of looking out for themselves con-
fined in the institution, the conditions were
favorable for a horror which would have
appalled, the country; but there was no
loss of life. This is a great credit to the
discipline of the institution. The state
will, as matter of course, make arrange
ments at once to rebuild the burned sec
ton of the asylum The care of the poor
creatures at the institution is duty which
cannot be neglected for even a little while

According to a Washington special to
the New York Times, the Treasury De-
partment figures, which have heretofore
been available for the information of any
one who might care to see them, are here
after to be kept a profound state" secret,
and only such figures are to be given out
as meet with the approval of the depart
ment. 1t is stated that the department has
lately employed an editor" who viii en-
deavor to make the statistics popular"
that is, he will give out only figures which
show facts favorable to the administration.
He viii give out the balances of course,
but they will be stated in such shape as TO
convey the impression that the country is
enjoying the greatest measure of pros
perity. The Times says: "The treasury ed
itor is a new man, but his occupation is
likely to make him old If he expects to
make the figures convey any lesson except
that conveyed by the unadorned exhibition
Of the statistics themselves"

A FAMER,S INSTITUTE.

It has been arranged to hold a
Farmers Institute here. during Fair
week. It will be the first meeting
of farmers from all parts of the
State ever held in Nevada and the
details of the convention will no
doubt create considerable interest.
Stockmen will probably be present
as the subjects to be discussed will
be of interest to them as we'll as the
farmers. The University professors
from the Agricultural Department
andv Experiment Station will be
called. upon to present papers on
various subjects directly connected
with agriculture, and lectures from
others will be features.
1T is. proposed to make the insti-
tute valuable adjunct to the State
Fair meeting and devise ways and
means to aid the agricultural and
stock interests of the State. 1t has
not yet been determined as to how
the organization of the institute
will be perfected whether by repre-
sentation of the several counties by
apportionment or a general mass
convention, but it is probable that
the last named method will be the
one adopted. Journal.

THE National Bimetoltist pro.
pounds the following questions:
Which will you have?
The gold Republican says that
what we need to secure prosperity
is higher tariff, gathering in of the
greenbacks. and ultimately their
cancellation lin brief, more taxes
and less money.
The International agreement Re-
publicanaesay that we must have
"lIIore tariff and also "inter-
national bimetallism"-if we can
get it.
The gold Democrat says that all
we need is money in other words,
that the greenbacks and treasury
notes should be destroyed, and the
finances Of the country turned over
to the banks.
The genuine American bimetal-
list SAYS that what we need above
all other things is much more
money, through the operation OF
the free coinage Of both silver and
gold.
Which will you take as a pri-
mary proposition, leaving other re-
forms to be considered in the light
of future events and conditions?
