II Is very much easier 10 criticize

clearly and definitely the road they
should take. There is no question bu'
that technicality in law has been
pushed to an extent where 1t not To-
frequently interferes with Justice. The
loop-holes in the laws, made seemingly
to help guilty men rather than the in
nocent to escape, are entirely too nu
merous. But the responsibility fol
that is quite another question from the
duty of the individual to the client,
and although we may object 10 the Law
as 1t 10 now construed In many In
stances, we cannot, ordinarily, blame
the attorneys who take fair advantage
of every favorable construction and
technicality for their clients.

THE election, last year, conclusively
proved that the silver sentiment of Las
Vegas is largely predominant. Tha,
sentiment is even stronger, to-day,
than it was then. The need Of more
money, the necessity for increased cir.
culation, is as great. to-day, as it ever
was, and those who imagine there is to
be any cessation in the demand for bi.
%metallism, will find out their. mistake.
Any local effort to build up in Las We
gas q gold party, to advance the inter-
ests of those who seek for place, will
prove a failure. Any effort on the part
OF republican party leaders, seIf-consti-
tuted, to ostracise republicans because
they believe in the restoration OF silver,
will turn out d~isastrously. III the old re-
publican leaders Of Las Vegas read out
of the party lifelong republicans, be-
cause OF their financial views, there
will not be enough left for q respect
able funeral procession. A union Of
silver republicans, democrats and pop.
ulists, standing together in favor Of
their silver convictions, il properly or.
ganized, would sweep the city. At
tempting to drag the gold standard
into local politics, is playing with two
edged tools.

Advertise at Nashville.


| From the Denver Times.
Since Colorado found 1t impossible
to prepare a special material exhibit
for the great Nashville exposition,
which opens the first of May, 1t seems
wise and useful to accept some such
suggestion as that made by Mrs Marble.
The latter provides for q series Of leo
lures and stereopticon views Of the re-
sources and besuties OF the state.
With such photography as that OF Mr..
Jackson and several other remarkable
artists, Colorado would derive from
this line of enterprise an amount and
character of advertising that would be
almost an equal substitute for an ex-
hibition of products and industries.
This state needs to set forth again
upon q p~rotracted period of self-ad-
vertising. The Nashville proposition
affords q practical and economical
beginning.

The city election is near at hand and
it is always an important one, but this
season more than ever. For the two
years last past, the country has been
under great depression, and in many
places Of large resources, all public
improvements have been suspended.
Not SO in Las Vegas. Here, notwith-
standing the depression, there has been
a steady advance, there has been con-
tinuous improvements Of streets and
crossings and in business centers fine
stone sidewalks have taken the places
of the old, worn plank walks, and all
without friction or hardship. Las We
gas has gone forward. She has &C.
quired the means to make yet further
advances, and it Ia an excellent time
to s'let well enough alone.~ II the
street grading carried on during the
past year is continued q year longer,
we shall have the best graded streets
in the southwest. The election Ia not
50 much a question Of politics as Of
progress. 1t should not be so much
party as public improvements. Las
Vegas Is 10 the battle for supremacy as
a city. Philosophical men, men who
will attend TO public duties, should be
called to lead. Every property owner,
every business man. Is deeply interested
and il 10 to be hoped that no partisan
spirit will 30 allowed 70 etspd IN the
