Defeat The Bin.

A few days sgo we mentioned the
fact that AaOemblyman McAfee had
introduced bin to regulate tho sal
aries Of the officers OF Elko county
and that it might b well for tho tax
payers TO keep their eyes on il. Since
then the bill has paed the Assem-
bly, and is now pending in tho Senate.
Following is the bill. to which we
refer: IS
SECTIoN l. On and after the pas
sage OF this Act. the County Recorder
and ex-officio-Auditor of Elko county,
State of Nevada, shall receive the
sum Of eighteen hundred (3I8OO) Dol
lars per annum, and he. shall be auth
orized to retain for bis own use and
benefit all moneys collected by him
as foes In excess OF One Hundred t1OO)
Dollars per month, all fees up to and
including One Hundred QOO) Doll
lars collected by him each month
ehal be paid into the County Treas
ury.
SEQ. 2. All Acts and parts Of Acts
in conflict with section One of this
Act, are hereby repealed"
If this bill becomes 4 law Recorder
Watkins viii have q very fat thing
and the Taxpayers OF the county will
have to foot the bill. Mr.. Watkins
report for the month of February
shows that he collected the sum of
1854 40 for filing and recording in
struments in his office: IT the above
bill were a law in force he could hold
out the sum of s164.4O in addition to
his regular salary of $50
per month which would make
him the handsome sum of
S3l4.4O per month, As the business
of the Office may increase some the
next few months the amount he
would gather In. under that law
would increase corespondinRly and
he would soon be rolling III clover
al the expense of the taxpayers OF the
county. 1t is fine thing for him.
bat where do the people get Off
IL the work in the Recorders Office
is more than that officer can handle,
the Commissioners should be author
lied to employ extra help suffici-
emit to do the work. but under no
circumstadces should the above bill
be permitted to become a law. II
the people want ito defeat it, they
SHOULD act at once as the bill 10 now
in tho Senate and liable to be passed
before they make their, wishes known.
We believe the measure should be
beaten in the Senatsif possible, but
failing in that the facts should be- laid
befor the Governor in such manner
that he viii veto it. Whate YER Ii
done, should be done quickly.

"A poisoning case which
promises to become famous
has been brought to light in
Kemper County, Miss. DR..
w. III. Lipscomb, a prominent
physician, and Guy Jack, a
wealthy merchant of Scooba,
have been indicted by the
Grand Jury for the murder
Of @. T. Stuart, for the pur-
pose of obtaining the value of
insurance policies on Stuart S
life aggregating $25, 900, held
by Guy Jack. A postmortem
examination was made and
enough strychnine found in
Stuart's stomach to kill a
herd Of cattle. DIR. Lipscomb
was placed on trial at DeKalb,
the county seat of Aemper
County, yesterday and jury
secured. The introduction
Of testimony will begin to-
morrow morning. There have
been more than a dozen
deaths similar to that Of Stu
arts in Kemper County
during the past few years,
and the authorities say they
have positive proof showing
that there has been an organ
lied gang composed of prom
inent business and profession

who have grown rich by in
surfing the lives of poor PEG
pie and then poisoning them
for the insurance money.

Coal Oil fnSDeet0TShip.

The legislature should not fail to
abolish the political coal oil inspec-
ton sinecures and put the inspection
business on a common-sense and ust
basis. Failure in this regard would
be convincing proof that the major
ity are making a sham of reform for
partisan purposes. There can be no
possible excuse for not reducing the
emoluments of these inspectorships
to a common-sense basis. There is
no possible defense of the policy of
allowing some political pets to peck
ct from So, 600 to $4,000 a year
without labor, The legislature which
has cut down the emoluments of
some other official, cannot allow
the coal oil bonanzas to remain as
they are without stultifying itself
and confessing that it has sinister
partisan purpose in maintaining
these sinecures. Strong personal
and partisan influences are brought
to bear on the members of the legis-
lature to induce them to forego the
needed reform in coal oil inspection.
but they will disregard the interests
of the commonwealth and demands
of justice and propriety if they allow
these selfish and narrow influences
TO hold them back from the discharge
of duty they owe the people of the
State. They should at least be con-
sistent and not make an exception
of these indefensible fash-pan boz
nanzas in their purposed work of re-
form. Nashville Banner.

Bro. J. 7. Low was born June,

years, He joined Berlin Lodge 10,
in the first part of 1878, and Sauls-

committee received all the above de-
grees at the same meeting. Bro. J.
T. Low professed religion and joined

WHEREAS, lThe Grand Master of
the universe, Gin His infinite wisdom
and providence and before whose di-
vine will we submissively bow, hav-
ing called from labor to refresh
ments our beloved Bro. J. Il. Low,
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That in his death
we have lost one of our hon
ored and esteemed members, the
wife a faithful and loving COM
panion, the children a kind and
affectionate father, and the mother
a dutiful son, the community a
good citizen, the church a jealous
member, living in the christian hope,
and whose social morals and religious
qualities commanded the respect and
esteem of all who knew him, and
though We deeply deplore his death,
our hearts are comforted in the be-
lief that he rejoices in hopes real
lied.
RESOLVED, That we condole with
the family of our departed Brother
in their bereavements, whose broken
circle can only be reunited in that
undiscovered country from whose
bourne no traveller ever returns.
RESOLVED, That we ever cherish
his memory in our hearts and strive
to initiate his virtues that we too
may hear the glad welcome, " Well
done, thou good and faithful SER
want, enter thou into the joys of
the Lord" and there be reunited in
that blest Lodge above where the
faithful meet to part no more.
RESOLVED, That the lodge be
draped in mourning for thirty days;
that these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of the lodge and pub
lished in the county papers and a
copy furnished the family of the de-
ceased Brother.
