SAYINGS OF JEFFERSON.

The Introduction of one new culture
is worth more to a nation than all the
victories of the most splendid battles of
their history.
Every man, and every body of mon on
earth, POSSESSES the right of self-govern
ment. They receive it with their being
from the hand of nature. individuals

ty-six OF the number by name and loca-
ton. Was The governor a Republican,

why is not the law enforced in Wich-

nee county Republican majority don't
count for as much with Leedy as it did
with Morrill,. Leedy doesn't love To-
peka. but ii may be that he will con-
clude 10 propitiate her by cutting off her
whisky rations. which would leave her
fellows with nothing TO fear. Fifty sa-
looms are too many for place the size
Of Topeka, anyhow. A license fine of
sI5 to 500 per month would reduce the
number by half, or otherwise they are
harder drinkers up there, and more of
them, than current report warrants.
Its the Eigh license which makes the

good people of that burg 10 which she

seriously conclude that something is

owes it 10 Wichita, and 10 his own adj

ture adjourns. He is taking desperate
chances even with clear atmosphere
The soberest OF sober Pops as an indi-

A remarkable new siyl. OF telescope Is

first duty and virtue of the New Yorker
is TO get money. Nevada may possibly
entertain other pugilistic parties in the
course of the year. But what OF this
same critical New York, with its Seeley
shows, and humping rounds? There
is not a night in the year in which New
York does not permit exhibitions Of the
brutal in which men are pounded up
worse than will be either Corbett or
Fitzsimmons. 1t is impossible to pick
up New York daily in which there is
not an account of knock-outs involving
broken noses, caved-in cheek bones, the
flow Of blood, and often insenslbility.
Such exhibitions are part Of the daily
life of that metropolis, not in out-of-the
way dens of infamy, but often in Madi-
son Square Garden and on the stages OF
her theaters. This same Corbett has
pounded the faces and ribs of other men
for pay in New York City, which exhl
bitions were attended by the reporters
of these same papers, detailed for just
that thing. The strain at the Nevada
gnat is hypocrisy; the swallowing of the
New York camel disgusting.
