f. G. NEwLANDs says he has
been elected to Congress four times
now by the popular vote Of the
people, and, therefore, he must be
popular. We wonder if he thinks
he could be elected to any office
within the gift Of the people of the
State of Nevada to-day? His du
plicity during, and since the late
campaign and election, has sent
Newlands stock down considerably
below par, and ii the people were
called upon now to vote for him
for any office he would be sadly
left-we believe they would vote to
turn him out of the position he has
Just been elected to. He probably
understands this now and knows
that the only way for him to hold
a job in Congress after his next

THERE are about one hundred
election contest cases in the courts
throughout the State, caused by the
misinterpretation Of the "Purity of
Election Law" or its violation in
some T. clinical way. In many
cases the contestants are trying to
have a quantity of ballots thrown
out entirely, thereby DISTINGUISHING
several hundred voters. If the
state of affairs now existing does
not prove that this great purity (?)
law needs fixing we are badly mis-
taken. And the proper way to fix
it is to knock it off OF the Statutes
completely. The Legislature should
make this one of it's first duties.

wooden vessels having top with hole in It,
in which lighted match, fixed upon an upright
stick, was placed, and made to stand erect by a
sharp iron point the end opposite the match
1t must be remembered that am writing in the
days when guns had TO be touched off by matches.
! am thus particular in describing the match
tubs, because the old gunner, finding that the
men used them for seats placed some sharp iron
spikes in them, so that anyone sitting upon them
might receive an ugly wound, or if he stepped
upon them with bare feet might be seriously
injured This old gunner is called by Her
man Melville, in White Jacket" "Old Com
bustibles."
Melville served on the same ship with
Admiral Franklin at one time. and sew
eral of the characters in his book are
mentioned in these "reminiscences. The
book was an earnest appeal to Congress
to abolish corporal punishment in the
Navy. 1t gave no names, but Franklin
says that to any one who served in the
frigate United States It was easy to rec
ognize the men by their sobriquets.
In 1S47 Midshipman Franklin entered
the Naval School at Annapolis, then in
its infancy, and only two classes had
been graduated. The midshipmen who
entered the Navy in 1871 were thus full
grown men when they came to the Acad-
emy. The professors of the Academy at
that time were Chauvenet, in mathemat-
les; Lockwood, in navigation and in
fantry tactics, and Giraud, in French.
The first half of the book is occupied
with a gossipy narrative of adventures
in all parts of the world, from Italy TO
South America and back. With the au-
thor's advance in rank, and the important
positions which he held in later life, the
pages begin 10 be dotted with the names
of kings, queens, dukes generals, presi-
dents, and all sorts of important people.
One of the most interesting chapters in
the book to most people will be that which
describes the fight between the Monitor
and the Merrimac, and Franklin's adven-
lures as executive officer Of the Dacotah,
in carrying dispatches to Farragut in New
Orleans, and afterward near Mobile.
Admiral Franklin's undergraduates
that is the real nature of the book-will
prove well worth the reading of anyone
who is interested in the history of the
United States, and at this particular time
there are few people in the country who
are not reviewing the history lessons they
learned at school.
