While Nevada is 1t the present time
down in the dumps, aud does not appear
to have much to tie to, so TO speak, we
are as we'll or better OF than the people
Of almost any other State in the Union,
saw the Reno Gazette. So far as our
knowledge goes, there is not much dis
sress or suffering among our people; there
is nobody so pool that they are obliged
to 20 to the slaughterhouse and buy liver
or tripe in order to get q little fresh meat,
ss seen so frequently in over-crowded
cities. While there are not many in this
State living in the lap Of luxury and not
knowing how to spend their money, we
have none so poor that they don't know
where the next bite is coming from. Ne
vada is just beginning to pay . little at
tention to her agricultural possibilities,
upon which ell great commemorative are
founded. Nevada has not yet had her
grass roots disturbed either in hunting
for new mines or agriculturally speaking.
She is like . Miss with her first long
dresses, her future is all before her.
There can be no question but that Ne
vada is attracting more attention now in
mining and speculative circles than she
has in fifteen years, and the outlook war
rants the attention. Nevada has always
been supposed to be . silver State, but
since the hunt for gold properties began
IL has been demonstrated that there are
more rich gold mines in Nevada than al
most any State in the Union. That fact
alone lie enough to bring rs 3 little pros
psrity, for never before in the history of
mining were there so many hungry for
good mines or good prospects as there are
to-day. Nevada and her people are all
right if they but press the button and
look ahead. and quit crying over milk
that is spilled.

BOYS WHO RAN AWAY.

The desertion Of twenty apprentice
boys from the training ship Adams at
San Diego is worth noticing. says the 5.
+, Report. The boys are to be congrst-
uIated on their pluck. Boys with spirit
enough to do that will probably get along
ashore, something they could never ex-
pecs TO do aboard . man-of-wsr. We
hope no American boy capable of making
his W way in the world if given q
chance will enlist in either army or navy
until . career is opened for boys in the
service Of their country. The chance OF
ever attaining to shoulder straps in the
army is slim enough in the United States
army, in time Of peace. 1t is nil in the
United States navy. No matter how
good his breeding. bright his mind or
stout his heart may be, the boy who en-
lists in the navy has no career about him.
He can never reach the quarter deck. 1t
is no outlook to offer an American boy Of
spirit, and everybody knows it. Our
army and navy were organized and are
operated upon an aristocratic and not q
democratic basis and form an anarchron-
ism and anomaly in this country. As We
have always said. only American boys OF
first class character should be enlisted,
they should be we'll paid, they should be
treated in such . n as to preserve
their self-respect and the respect Of the
public, they should be educated and pass
to West Point or Annapolis from the
ranks by competitive examination, and
there should not be an officer in either
army or navy who has not begun at the
bottom and fairly won his way. Neither
the American officer nor American pri-
vate should occupy positions analogous
to the European officer or private in any
respect /; and there is no need that they
should.

WHAT Is THE REMEDY.

In Q lecture at Ann Arbor on the sd,
President Harrison dealt with trusts and
the e~vasive wealth which the Assessor
cannot find. A pertinent extract is as
follows:
Five-sixth Of the voters Of the country
favor a revision Of the corporation laws,
limiting the Purposes for which corpora
tions may be organized. supervising the
issuing Of stocks and bonds and putting
other restraints upon them. An even
larger proportion Of u people would
give their emphatic support to the prop
osition that tax burdens should fall
equally upon all property.
They do not now, as every n knows.
Lands, houses, live atock und imple-
ments Of trade cannot be hidden. Stocks
and bonds can be. and the Assessor has
no way Of checking the list.

the lecturer touched upon q crying evil
