ClTY'S RESPECT.

The manner in which the city of
Carson showed its respect to the late
Fred Mather lastFriday carries with
it a useful example to young men.
The deceased had grown up in Car
son and his good qualities, his up
night lie and his gentiemanly attrlb-
utes won him the respect ard friend
ship of all with whom he came in
contact.
Is it not therefore we'll worth the
effort of any young man to SO conduct
himself that honest men and good
ONE will pay him a tribute of gen
uine respect at death?
The respect and confidence of the
people of a town in which one lives
is always worth making an effort tc

ternal pride, justly hers by reason o

NOTHING JAY ABOUT US.

In these days of decadence and de
generacy it must be most gratifying
to Nevadans to know that their ON
munitv is advancing its civilization.
We secured the greatest p~r1ze-hght
ever seen since the one before and we
came within an ace of establishing a
lottery in our State. But the latest
and greatest evidence Of our high adj
vance in civilization is the fact that
we are blaza We have cultivated
the nil admirari pose to the highest
degree, and have reached that highly
genteel frame Of mind where S1tch a
vulgar thing as enthusiasm is entirely
unknown to us.
These remarks are called forth by
the decorous attitude of the audience
at the Maine benefit night before last,
when the boys of Company r marched
in, and seated themselves without the
least indication on the part of the
audience that the defenders of our
homes and upholders of our liberties
were present as soldiers. There
wasn't even a solitary handicap to
show that one in the large audience
was so lost to decency as to applaud
those militiamen.
Gaze upon that picture, then OF
his. In a New York theatre the other
night was gathered a great audience.
1t numbered amidst its Components
such unsophisticated people as law
yers, physicians professional and
business men. There were probably
even a few Wall street bankers anc
bond holders-degraded creatures, a:
we all know lost to all sense of pat
riotism, and respecting nothing bu'
the almighty dollar. Distinguished
people were in the audience. A fore
ign nobleman of high rank and repu
tation entered the house and proceed
ed to his box without a common
being offered OF ever a neck craned t
follow his process. We b. know
what a city of tuft-hunters and toad
eaters New York is; yet this was pos
sible.
But suddenly a new figure appear
ed on the scene, and all was changed
1t was only an American seamel
clad in the uniform of his country
navy. He did not wear the !ou
stars of an admiral, the silver leaf {
a commander. or even the cooss-bar
and anchor of a simple lieutenant
He was nothing but q common ordlr
nv, everyday American sailor, BIT
that vast audience of toad-eater:
~goldbugs and bondholders, rose t
their feet and cheered him to the echc
cheered him as he marched down tt
aisle, cheered till he took his chair.
But then New York City is only
Jay town. Such a disgraceful exhib
ton never could have occurred on tt
Comstock. There is nothing Jay
about us.-Report.
