WILLARD D. GILLESPIE,
Republican Assemblyman from Sto-
rey county.
The reasons given by Mr.. Gillespie
for his absence from the assembly
chamber last Tuesday may be satis-
factory to himself, bu they lack
good deal OF convincing the people of
his sincerity and honesty of purpose.
1t would have been letter for him
had he left the State and remained
away forever. But failing to do this,
he should have remained silent and
no: insnlted his costituents by bra
ken declaration Of his honesty. II his
course was susceptible Of an honest
explanation, he should have returned
to his seat in the Assembly ut the
earliest possible moment and de-
manded an investigation Of the cnarp-
es made against him. But, Oh the
contrary, he waits until he is assured
that nothing will be done and then
returns and remains silent as the
charges are banded about the Assem-
bly, cham Der. This is not the course
OF IN honest man, secure in the appro-
baton OF his conscience.
The INDEPENDENT knows nothing
OF the means resorted to to procure
Mr.. Gillespie's absence from the As
sem5ly chamber, nor whether any
thing was brought to bear upon him
to make him conspicuous by his abb
sence, but bases its opinion OF his
course solely upon his card to the
Appeal. IT is not the course OF an
honest man.
The Assembly in refusing to inves.
tlgate the absence Of Mr.. GillesI lie
has not raised itself in the estimation
OF the people Of the State. A few
more breaks like that and it will take
several ten gallon kegs Of cologne to
remove the stencil Of the legislature
from the nostrils Of the people.

Assembly Bill No. e.

The Assembly bill that is represent
ted by the number above given has
been subject of discussion by Reno
men for some days. The feeling and
opinion of Reno people 10 far as
learned is against the bill. Its pro-
visions are Objectionable from more
than one point Of view. 1t takes
away responsibility from the attend
ing physician; he is made visitor at
the hospital; his duties begin and
end with his u lily routine visits
required by tn. law, or with such
visits as in his judgment may be
necessary for the proper care Of the
patients. 1t is made the duty of the
superintendent to attend to the
business details of the hospital, and
he is not subject in any manner to
the attending physician, nor is the
physician subject in any particular
to the superintendent. which creates
a monster with two heads and one
BODY; there is no union of the heads.
Each head has its Office and duty in
connection with the body, and one is
independent III Office and in duty to
the other, which independence with.
out doubt will beget divergent ac-
ton and conflict, and in case dis
agreement the one will blame the
other, and the service will suffer, re-
sulting to the injury of the institu.
ton and possible neglect of the poor
unfortunates who are inmates Of the
asylum. Reno Journal.
Not having copy of this bill be-
fore To, we are unable to say whethe r
tue Journals criticism of its provis-
ions is just or not. If. however, the
bill is as the Journal claims, it should
not become law. There should be
a responsible head to all public in
stitutIons, and especially to the Hos
pital for Mental Diseases. The in
mates Of this institution should have
the tender care and solicitude Of a
resident physician, who has the power
to compel the attendants to do their
duty. Otherwise there will be con
fusion an6 the unfortunates in the
institution will be neglected and
suffer because Of it.
1t the object OF the bill is economy,
it can be accomplished by reducing
the present salaries without imnair-
ing the efficiency Of the service. This
is matter that should receive the
serious consideration of the legisla
ture, as mistake might cause SER
ious injury to the helpless inmates of
the hospital anu bring disgrace upon
the State.

Rise in Poultry,

Mr.. P. Kinney, the window
glass arti6cer today dined upon
chicken.
The provender for this feast was
not provided by nocturnal pream-
bulation, rather the groaning
board was supplied by poultry
imported from Logan.
This morning as the fast mail
passed through Logan, running
about seventy miles an hour, the
engine struck 2 flock Of chickens,
which at the time were partakipg
of their morning meal on the Lo.
gan crossing. The result can b.
better imagined than described.
When the train stopped at the
depot in this city, the front end
of the engine looked as though
it had been treated to . coat Of
red paint and feathers. There
were chickens and parts thereof
clinging to ell projecting points
of the engine, from the head
light to the point of the pilot.
