state and the people? A very unenvia-
BILE one indeed. Has it come to that
pass that one c.ty councilman or one
legislator cannot differ radically from
another without substituting the Ian
'guage of blackguards and DULLES for
argument and calm statement? Have
those who indulge in such practices so
little knowledge of the use and mean
ing of words that if they desire to con-
tradict in such a manner that it shall
give the offense that calls for repara-
ton, they cannot do it in the language
of gentlemen and with no faint of
blackguardism about it?
Those officials who are passing these
lies should feel ashamed of them
selves when they see their language
put in print If they are not ashamed
of themselves, the people are ashamed
of them. But the people have a plain
duty in the premises. one they owe
themselves if they would maintain
their self-respect, and it is to positively
refuse to re-elect to any office these
public officials who are calling each
other liars in those very places where
they are acting as the representatives
of the people. They should be dropped.
They not only do not represent the
people, but they disgrace them.

INTEREST IN THE CARSON CON-
TEST.

A portion of the eastern press is
commenting upon the coming contest
at Carson with less acrimony and vim
dictiveness than at first when the
Nevada Legislature legalized prize
| fights. Thus the Boston Post speaks
of il in these terms:
For more than two weeks to come
the center of greatest popular interest
undoubtedly will be in the city of Car
son, in Nevada, where Corbett and
Fitzsimmons are preparing to decide
the question of supremacy in pugilism.
1t is perhaps not too much to say that
the incident of McKinley's Inaugural
ton, the fate of King George in his
campaign for Crete, the vicissitudes of
the patriot insurgents in Cuba, each
and all fail to hold public attention SO
largely as this event. There is some
thing in such a contest which appeals
to the average man in a very compel
ling way. This is undeniable. And
when we come to inquire into the
cause of the pervading interest-an in
terest manifested throughout all grades
of society-in combat with fists by
two stout and handy fellows out in the
wilds of Nevada, it will not do to
ascribe it to a love of brutality or to
widespread degeneracy in public NOR
ais. There is something more in the
effect which this affair produces upon
the popular mind than simply the graf
ification of degraded tastes, and this
fact we must recognize, or else confess
to a belief that our civilization is on
the point of failure. We prefer to re-
gard it as evidence of that admiration
of pluck, of physical prowess, of fair
fighting which our race has inherited
for ages past, and which, if ever it is
lost, will be likely to carry away with
it some of the essential elements OF
manhood which we should regret to see
obliterated from the national charac-
ter
Last year there was a revival of the
Olympian games at Athens. All the
world wondered at and applauded
them; and if at those very games ces-
tuarii had entered the arena and con-
tested for the supremacy, the world
would have still applauded and the
victor would have been a hero.
What the Post says about the cause
of the general interest in the contest
is quite true. 1t is by no means the
mere love OF brutality that arouses
this interest. 1t is very much the same
element in our natures that creates in
terest in all athletic contests, in horse
races and the like, that creates this
general interest in this coming contest
at Carson. There is a vast amount OF
common human nature in 1t all.

INGALLS, ON TRUSTS.

Ex-senator ingalls, has been express
ing himself upon the question OF
trusts. a question that will, in al
probability, be very prominently be-
fore the public during the present ad-
ministration because of the popular in
terest in the subject. The vitriolic ex-
senator says:
The evaporation against trusts and
monopolies does not arise from hoStll-
ity to capital, hatred of wealth, or envy
of successes but from the belief that
the inevitable effect of these combina-
lions. whether intended or not, is TO
restrain competition, impair the dig
nifty of labor. destroy the independence
and self-respect of the laborer and
make liberty the heritage of the few
instead of the many, for liberty and
pauperism are not compatible.
The trusts must go. 1t is written.
They will not depart voluntarily. They
will protest at every step. They will
stand upon the order of their going.
They will denounce all inquiry as in
iouitous, inquisitorial and inspired by
partisan malignity. But TINS WIN not
deceive the people. They want the
truth. The object of Lexow commit
tees is to disclose the existence and
the methods of the conspiracies to limit
production, control prices, depress
wages and strange competition. Pub
lie opinion will do the rest
The problem is not insolvable; the
power of the people to suppress in
furious trusts and monopolies is ample
already. The states can outlaw them
as public enemies. and through the
courts, forfeit their powers, annul
their franchises, and declare them
against public policy and void in ac-
cordance with the precedents of many
centuries.
But the nation can WELD a mightier
weapon still. When the supreme court
declared in the State bank cases that
the power of congress to tax wan the
power to destroy, it delegated for
nidable weapon to discomfort, and
placed in every bondsman's hands the
means to cancel his captivity.
Those are not radical views. by any
means: and what is said regarding the
evaporation against trusts and mo-
nopolies is the simple truth. 1t is not
hostility to wealth nor envy at pros
perity that causes this evaporation;
this evaporation is but rebellion
against dictatorial disposition and
powers of trusts and monopolies.

D1seRAcEFUL PROCEEDINGS.

At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell two of the members called each
other liars 1t was a most disgraceful
thing.
In the state house of representatives
one member characterized the state
ment Of another as a lie. 1t was a
most disgraceful thing.
Before a legislative committee a
member of the city police and fire COM
mission said. in reply to some remarks
by a state senator. that anyone who
intimated this or that or the other
thing. was a liar. 1t was a most dis
graceful thing.
All this has happened this week.

MARCH.

o March, with wind-blown, crocus. come
the rosy bud to swell.
And let the chick that's certified bound
gaily from the shell,
And make the rug and carpet flap upon
the waving line,
And burst the catkin by the brook and
make the bulldog whine.
o March, with blaring trumpet blow and
make the castle rock.
oh. make the rampant ibex wave aloft
the mug of book,
Oh. bring the German tooterS forth to
tootle on the street,
Interpreting we know not what in strains
d.vinely sweet
o March. bring on the bluebird and the
or,ole so blithe.
And make the pedler brim with joy. and
make the goldman writhe:
OF course. these pictures all are old in
image and in tone,
But if you'd truly sing of March. they
can't be left alone.
o March. observe the brindled goat his
tail benignly whisk.
While munching on the shattered bust of
Byron done in bisque;
Observe the filmy iris from above the
waterfall:
Observe the ulster pocket ope to catch
the camphor ball.
o March, you are a snarling moon, but
then you bring the blue
And yellow violet to wake our cock-a-
doodle-doo;
Beside the waySide hedge agloW the PIN
pernel you set
Ard bring the shad and cucumber and
exc the mignonette.
So blow away, oh, blow away your san
culinary tune,
Which is a prescience of the rose that's
blowing red in June
And though you paint our noses blue and
purple to the roots,
We greet you with a song of joy that
thrills us to the boots.
So blow away. oh. blow away just as
you blooming please,
Your symphony that whistles weird
among the leafless trees,
And we will listen as you wave the light
and airy larch.
And thank our stars that Februa-ry's
melted into March.

STATE TAXES.
Auditor Richards Announces That
They Are Being Held Back.

State Auditor Richards announces
that many of the counties in the state
are holding back the states portion of
taxes paid under protest. This is con-
trary to law and the state auditor be-
lieves collectors are making themselves
liable under the statute. reference is
made to section 1877 of the revenue act
of 1896. which reads as follows:
ANY taxes, interest and costs paid
more than once or enormously or lille
gally collected may by order of the
board of county commissioners be re-
funded by the county treasurer. and
the states portion of such taxes, in
terest and costs must be refunded to
the county, and the state auditor must
draw his warrant therefor in favor of
the county"
Another section of the law specifically
provides that the county officials must
make regular returns to the state audi
tor, under penalty of FORGETTING their
salary for the quarter; a provision that
some county officials seem TO be ignor-

NOW AND THEN.

President Mckinley has spoken on
the subject of civil service reform.
What he says viii hold out more dis
couragement to the civil service re-
formers than to the office-seekers.
There is somewhat of a contrast be-
tween his views on the subject in
March, 1897, and in April, 1890. That
this contrast may be the more readily
discerned the views are placed in jux-
Imposition.
