AN EXPLANATION DESIRED.

NOW that the weighing time is al
hand, tons of public documents are be-
ing distributed. The railroads are get
ting their work In In fine shape. There
Is no doubt lots of crookedness in this
business, for documents under Stewards
frank are arriving here that have once
been sent to Los Angeles and other Cal
ifornia towns under the frank Of Repre-
sentative Loud. The authorities should
look into this matter. Lyon County
Times.
We must confess that We are sur
prised TO learn that the Times has tum-
bled to this crooked business and even
goes SO far as to suggest an investiga-
ton OF the matter. Where shall the
investigation begin, with the rail
road, the postal officials, or Senator
Stewart? Can 1t be that the Times sus-
poets the white-haired Senator from
Nevada, the apostle of Free Silver, the
champion Of the people against the
grasping money power, OF being guilty
Of completely in such a bald faced swim
die as the railroads are now perpetrat-
ing. No, for the Times to express such
a suspicion would be treachery fit to
make a Judas turn in his rave.
AS for ourselves, when over a ton OF
Agricultural Reports OF the year 1892
anne TO this little postofice, bearing
those same double labels which have
so aroused the indignation OF our
contemporary, we were simply thank
full for such weighty favors. How could
We for u moment suspect that such men
as Senator Stewart and Mr.. Loud had
any knowledge whatever that they
were assisting the railroads to fleece
the Government by increasing the mails
during the period in which they are
weighed to form a basis for another
four years contract? We gave them
credit for starting a-crusade against the
dense ignorance that no doubt exists
among the editors, merchants and min
ers OF this section concerning the Boo
philus bowls, the Cercospora circumcis-
So, the cultivation of mushrooms and
subjects of interest. Our only
grievance is that they had been six
years in learning how seriously we need
cd this information. If they will kind
ly explain this, we win be entirely sat
lsfed.

While Nevada has been enjoying the
reputation of being the only State in
which prize fighting is legalized, Califor-
MIA has had about fifty to our one. AT
Sacramento last Thursday Young Critic
put out Bull McCarty of Philadelphia
for all time. In the twentieth round
Critic dealt McCarty a blow on the
temple which caused conclusion Of the
brain and he never regained conscious
ness. Odd that such a thing should
happen in a State where only ''exhib-
ition boxing is tolerated.

NEvADA's VOLUNTEER QUOTA,
1t is Fixed by the War Depart
ment and Will not be Changed.

The National Guard Of Nevada, 50(
strong, armed and equipped, were ready
and anxious to enter the volunteer ser.
vice of the United States. The Gov.
ernor urged the Secretary of War to
accept them and Colonel Lord com
handing the regiment pledged to have
them ready to be mustered into the
United States service within six DAYS
from the date of the tender, which was
last Monday.
Yesterday the Adjutant General of
the United States army telegraphed
the Governor that the Secretary of
War directed him to say that the quota
for Nevada has been fixed and cannot
be changed,
That settles the question for the pres
ent at least. Nevada's quota, as called
for by the War Department, is one
troop of cavalry for special mounted
service OF So men. Good shots and
good riders are required for this SER
vice. They are to be Differed by men
from the State. The Governor will an
point a captain and two or three lieu
tenants, who will be examined as to
efficiency by a board of army Of
GERS. The enlisted men will be provided
for at the expense of the War Depart
from the day they are enrolled.
Every mar has to pass a physical ex-
animation by an army surgeon and only
iblebodied men between the ages of IS
md 45 win be accepted.
1t Is probable that recruiting offices
will be established at once where those
lesiring to enlist will be enrolled and
Examined. The National Guards may
urnish a large part OF the quota, but
hey have to be examined the same as
who enlist.

"a Dam Fool From Missouri,

The Carson Appeal says: Col. Water
house of Missouri, the mai contractor,
is in this city. He is known as the
Dam fool from Missouri" because he
took the mail contracts in this State so
low. He stated to an Appeal reporter
yesterday that he found no difficulty in
letting out his contracts at a profit.
His firm has yer three hundred routes
which they have sublet and only let 2

The Queen Regent has asked the
blessings Of the Pope upon Spanish
arms. His holiness sent it from the
bottom OF his heart and said he hoped
to see a ~vindication of Spanish rights
which had been trampled upon. The
Pope's blessing may help the ~Spaniards
some when they come to storm the
gates of st. Peter, but we have our
doubts whether it will act as a boom
proof against American cannon.

between Spanish regulars aud Cuban
insurgents and learn that one man was
wounded it does not puzzle me any.
1 think it probable that he shot him
self, or some comrade behind him let
off his gun accidentally. I am unable
to see how he could have been hurt by
an opponent.
Provably this matter of fact state
ment by Lieutenant Dent explains why
Montojo's vessels could fire at Dewey g
squadron for hours and not kill a man;
why American ships can continually
engaged and batteries in Cuba and
show only an occasional dent in token
of it; why American small boats at
Cienfuegos could hang around for an
hour within easy rifle shot and saw
cables in two with ridiculously few
casualties; why American vessels, of all
sizes and srmor stagger backward and
forward within half mile of Spanish
Notifications and never lose piece of
string. The Spaniards turning
their heads when they
press the buttons or pail
the lanyards could make no ma
terial difference, but probably they
shut their eyes before they aim. OF
course they are not expected to shoot
like Anglo-Saxons. Anglo Ssxons and
Germans are VIGOROUSLY the best
marksmen in the world. But one
would think that they ought
to be able to hit flock of
balloons with q mitrailleuse twice in
month.

Not as warm as we expect to be.
We are fond of warpictures. Those
that represent us facing bursting

The SearChlight In War.

Searchlights, which play an impor.
tant part In modern warfare, have one
not think of mentioning, if he were
called upon to enumerate their various
applications. While the searchlight's
nrst and chief mission ia to throw
shafts of light and to illuminate dark
places, to aid in the discovery of prov
ling ships, torpedo boats and blockade
runners, it 10 used extensively also as
Q means of communication by signals.
But in . night engagement it is used
also to dazzle the eyes of the gunners
on the opposing side. Bad marksman-
ship on the part of the Spaniards has
often been given as the cause for their
Intellectual shooting, while the real
cause has been the good work of
those who operated the search.

Adolph Toepperwein, San Antonio's
marvellous young rifle shot, has just
performed another of his astonishing
feats. With q .22-calibre rife he
stood at q distance of twenty feet from
q double thickness of heavy paper,
about three feet LONG by two feet wide,
and shot on it the outlines of an Indi-
ans head. 1t took exactly l52 shots
to do the trick. 1t was free.hand draw
ing, as the figure was not traced on
the paper beforehand. This made the
feat especially difficult, as ''Tep" had
to place every shot with reference to
where its predecessor had gone, and
where all the following shots we're to

out and constantly in his minds eye

An Old Acquaintance.

From The Birmingham Age-Herald.
Governor Atkinson of Georgia tells
this story at his own expense: "It was
during my recent inspection OF the con-
vict camps. Among other places l
visited were the coal mines, and in or
der to make q thorough inspection 1t
was necessary to 60 down into the
mines and see the convicts at work.
Two guards accompanied me down
into the mines. They showed me every
thing of interest and finally took me
where the convicts were at work. AS
We approached them one of the convicts
rushed over to me, crying: Good
Lordl Bill Atkinson, as sure as l live!
I never expected to see you here.
What on earth, Bill did they convict
you Of doing?' 1 readily recognized
she man ~ one whom l had known
since nv boyhood.''

Rules For Camp Weepers.

On the flap of tent of q company

written:
To visitors:
Glad to see you always.
We are not afraid; not yet.
We know we are liable to be shot.
We don't know how we will feel un-
til we get hit.
We are liable to be sick.
We might be sick If we stayed at

We are not dying to get into the hos
pital.
We may die after We get there.
Yes, if we have q chance we shall
shoot.
Would we kill q Spsniard? Ask Dew

We don't know whether we shall be
glad when it's all over. Most likely.
We are sorry we are going to leave
