NEVADA CANNOT AFFORD THIS.

Last week Judge Stone of Carson dis
missed the case of Edmond James,
charged with bribing voters. He ruled
that though James did pay money TO q
voter, he did not exact = promise from
the mar to vote for a particular candi-
date, but simply told him to stand pat
for the Silver Party ticket, and accord.
ingly was guilty Of no offence.
Such work as this Is what gives New
ada the name of Rotten Borough, and
makes us the laughing-stock OF the ma
ton. The Examiner comments as fol-
lows:
The story OF an extraordinary deci.
sion concerning the buying of votes
comes from Nevada II the case 10 cor
rectly reported, Q Carson Judge holds
that money may lawfully be paid for
votes so long as the recipient does NOT
promise to cast his ballot in any parti'
cular way. II that is the scope OF the
decision 1t Is obvious that it could moi
stand the test of review by a higher
court. The taking of money for 9 pur'
pose is complete scquiescence in . con.
tract, and 1t is in nowise strengthened
by a verbal promise TO do what Is asked,
1t is to be hoped that the matter vii
not be suffered TO remain in statu quo
So much Is due to the reputation OF tbs
State, for, as the matter stands, 1t con
yeys an impression not creditable to Ne
.yAda, and It is ~inconceivable that tbs
decent people OF the community should
Quietly acquiesce In such q stigma. I'm
der that decision votes may be openly
bought In Nevada where no promise h
exacted. The reputation OF q rotor
borough is not profitable In the lonl
run, and we are certain that II would
DO deeply resented by ninety-nine o.
every hundred citizens OF Nevada, how
ever satisfactory the condition underly
ing that reputation might be to certain
elements San Francisco Examiner.

MIR. ASTOR,S FOUNTAIN.


William Watldorf Astor's new fouu.
tain for Cliveden is the largest private
fountain of the kind in the world. 1t is
gorgeous and of enormous expense, and
the only fountain which rivals it in size
and appearance is that of the Emperor
William in Berlin, the next largest of
the kind being at Moscow. Iu these
Two fountains the architects have de
veloped the same idea which dominates
the plans for the Astor fountain-a gi-
gantic she'll OF stone in basin on the
ground level, the shell being horiZ)L-
tai, and when full OF water the surface
of the water is about on level with
The eye.
Mr.. Astor, who expects that his
f.uutaiu will astonish pc pie when it
is exhibited, has called it The -Four =
tain OF Love-" The shell alone weighs
between 60 and 20 tons. This gigantic
shell is made OF nine pieces Of the finest
S.enna marble, and is light brown in
color, but the huge blocks have been
so skilfully put together that it is al
most impossible to see the joints. The
uine pieces OF Sienna marble out Of
which the shell was made are the
largest blocks of Sienna marble ever
AIKEN out of Italy. Like large cut dia-
monds, they represent an enormous
w.ste of material. Tne fountain in its
,rchtectual features represents the
development of Que idea. 1t is practi-
cally simple, and devoid OF orr ate cary
ing. excepting in the three groups.
Group 1.-The first group OF figures
which forms a part OF this fountain is
on the end of the shell nearest The ell
trance gates. This group, made Of the
tacs aud whitest Siciliau marble, COZ
sists of the heroic sized figure OF a WON.
an with a Cupid The right hand Of
ha figure is oulstretched. In it she
holds over the basin 10y the handle a
small Greek vase, from which water
pours. Her left hard fails by her side.
5 andne at her left is figure of little
Cupid. naked, with wings, lookiI g up
into her face. The work is pronounced
by sculptors to be surprisingly beauti-
ful. Group > This consists Of woman
and Cupid, both standing and pledg
ing each other in drinking cups. The
figures are large and of the finest Sicil
ian marble. Groups This group con-
sist Of woman leaning hack with a
Cupid bending over her from a rock.
AL along the edges of the shell rare
and beautiful aquatic plants are grow
ing. There is no fountain in England
rivaling this one OF Mr. Astor's in size
and beauty, and it is even said by archi
tects that as g work of art, and consider
ing its size, it is the finest fountain in
the world. This fountain has already
cost, according 10 moderate estimates,
a great deal more than $50, ,000-N: Y.
