The other day we chanced to hear a
couple of fellows laughing over some
of the past capers of Charley Towne.
This made US feel decidedly sad. Al
though we haven't quite agreed with
Charley the last few years, we believe
in letting dead men rest In peace, and
think these men did very wrong in re-
ferripg so oarelessly to one who is
dead.-Gray Eagle Gazette.
The above item, whatever its in
tent, is not at all humorous now,
but 1t will be very funny some
time. The obituary of Mr.. ToWne
has not been written yet, and the
HERALD earnestly hopes it will not
be for many years to come: but
when it shall be a flippant tone
will not be employed, nor win it
be condensed in half dozen lines,
The HERALD believes Mr.. ToWne
as made great political mistakes,
but they were not fatal nor were
they exploited by a corpse. The
HERALD respects Mr.. Towne as it
respects Mr. Cleveland; while diff
fering radically from both.

Rural routes ,Nos.2 and from Sauk
Centre will be in operation on January
l, and that there will be no friction the
patrons should bear in mind a few OF
the requirements OF the postoffice de-
partment: every patron must provide a

not answer the requirements, and un-
less this condition is complied with the
mail cannot be delivered. This order
is premtory. Boxes must be placed on
the highway where they can be driven
to SO that the carrier deos not have to
get out OF his delivery wagon to reach
them-not on by-road or private
driveway, nor inside yard. Those
who have not done SO already should
set posts four feet high, and If not pro-
vidid with bexes the carriers Wilt
nish them at a reasonable price.
The roads must be kept open SO that
the carrier can readily travel them,
and way provided to the boxes, or
the mail will be carried by. Service
will be daily and time of deliv-
cry will very but q few minutes from
day to day, providing the roads are in
order.

At its regular meeting last even

At its regular meeting last even
ing the city council passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting splitting upon the
sidewalks and in public places lin
the city. This is a long step for
ward, and one which will meetwith
universal approval. This city is
rapidly being filled with beautiful
cement walks, and to defile them
with tobacco or other spiitle is an
outrage. This ordinance will en-
force itself, for everybody will only
be too glad to maintain the integri-
ty of our handsome streets. 1t is
but step to the gutter, and just as
soon as the people are educated to
it they would as soon spit upon
parlor floor as upon sidewalk or
floor of a store. The HERALD pre-.
diets that the penal clause of this
sensible ordinance will never have
to be invoked.

THE RAILROAD COMBINE.

Public sentiment is becoming
aroused to a fever heat regarding
the combine of the Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific railroads
through the agency of the Securi-
ties Company,a New Jersey corpor-
alton with a capital of $500. .OO0, 900
its purpose being to hold and vote
the stocks of these great parallel
lines ofrailroad to the end that they
may be managed in harmony. 1t
is claimed by James j. Hill, the
president of the Securities company
that consolidation of the lines is
not contemplated, but that, the two
properties will be kept separate
and distinct, and operated by their
respective organization as hereto
fore; that under this arrangement
there will be no Obstructive and
spasmodic rate cutting which is
always prejudicial to the best inter-
ests of the public; that stable rates
will prevail, and that owing to the
fact that greater economy of oper-
alton and fewer losses, the level of
rates will be lower than under ex-
isting conditions.
On the other hand it is urged
that consolidation OF competing
lines is unlawful, and that this
combine is practical consolidation;
that the spirit, if not the letter of
the law, is set at defiance; that all
competition is destroyed, and that
power of making rates and main
tanning service is concentrated in
a governing body; that no mat
ter what may be the feeling toward
Mr.. Hill, and his past record for
fairness and liberalitv in operating
the Great Northern, the corporation
will survive him and its manage
ment fall into other hands who
may be far less considerate of the
rights of the people of this state.
Gov. Van SAINT is committed to
fight the cosolidation to the bitter
end, and if need be, convene the
legislature to provide ways and
means therefor. One thing all will
agree upon--if the governor is i'm
pressed with, the conviction that
the combination is pernicious and
unlawful, it IS his clear duty to
fight to the end.

FILIPINOS APPEAL.

Soon after the Senate convened on
the 10th inst. Senator Teller presented
a memorial from 2006 Filipinos and
''peaceable inhabitants of Manila.
The memorial was in the form of an
appeal to Congress, and, as Teller
stated, twas signed personally by the
leading people of Manila and that Sec
tion-lawyers, bankers and profession
al men, representing the best elements
OF that community.
Mr.. Teller wanted an order for the
printing OF the Filipino petition as a
Senate document: II protest against
the paper being printed as Senate
document, !" said Hawlsy. ut is an
attack upon the United States, its au
thority and it's troops, and passion
ate appeal to the Filiplnos to continue
to kill our men. n Jefferson Davis
had brought forward similar paper
after the battle of Gettysburg and de-
manded to have it read and printed as
a Senate document it would have been
a mild crime in comparison with this. :"
On account OF the objection OF Haw-
Icy the order went over until next
day.

The Reno Ledger wants a Constitu-
tional Convention callel. and the
Supreme Court OF the State aboli- ID.
To this the Virginia Enterprise replies
that Judge Mack can hardly find time
to eat. We expect the same might be
said OF other Judges. We quote the
Ledger article:
"A Constitutional Convention can be
called in way that it will pay for itself
in what it would save to the people of
the State in few years. For instance,
the Supreme Court should be abolish
ed. This would save the people of the
State from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars year. The District Judges,
OF which there are five, could be Gre
ated Supreme Court and sit in bank
and hear cases at certain periods of
the year. There are a number of ways
that new Constitution would save
thousands OF dollars to the taxpayers
OF Nevada each year."

We publish In another column no.
tice of an examination to be held in
Reno, for admission to the West Point
Military Academy. There was time
when 1t was considered an honor to be
a student al West Point. The investi-
cation now going on before the Con-
gressional Committee, n regard to bru-
tai hazing, reveals a state of things
which is disgrace to the nation. II
neither the authorities at West Point,
nor the Secretary of War, can break
up this state of things, 1t would be bet
ter to close the Institution entirely,
and supply the necessary officers from
the Volunteer Service. No ruffians,
such as some OF those hazers have pro-
we'd themselves to be, are fit to be
officers In our army. Our Army off,

OUR LEGISLATURE

The twentieth session of the Nevada
Legislature convenes In Carson on the
21st instant. Our Representative is Mr..
Frank Paul. We do not wish to die
tate to the Legislature what that body
should do. We would consider 1t pre-
sumptious. On some points however,
which may, and probably will, come up
for consideration, we have very deci-
ded opinion; and we hope majority of
that honorable body may think with
us. The Legislature is unanimously
Democratic or Silver, and they can cas-
lily work together. They surely know
that the State will hold them response
BILE for any vicious legislation. We de-
sire to have the lottery amendment
killed forever. We would like to have
the revenue laws remodeled. Laws re-
lating to prize-fghting ought to be so
changed that our State would never
again be thought OF as the dumping
ground of such characters as make up
the prize-fght show. We trust to the
manliness and craftsmanship OF the
members to accomplish all this, at any
rate. We shall watch, with interest,
the vote of every member.
II this TWEEN tieth session of the Legis-
lature does it's duty, it will earn the
gratitude of its constituency, and re-
ceive the plaudits Of the whole people.

CHANDLER DEFEATED.

In the New Hampshire Legislature,
on the 10th instant, Senator VIM. E..
Chandler was defeated for reelection.
by large majority. He received only
forty seven votes out of total OF $40.
Judge Henry E, Burnham won the
nomination on the first ballot with 1873
votes. Mr.. Chandler had been In Office
SO long that he had come to imagine
himself boss of the State and the party.
When man comes to that condition,
his passing is az hand.
Yet the result was great political
surprise His friends were ready to
bet at any odds and at the last moment
that their leader would win. 1t had
been the fercest political fight In the
history Of New Hampshire. The oppo-
sition to him came from men in his own
party, who objected to his pro-silver
views, and his criticism at times Of the
Administration. There were other ell
ements. Some thought he had been
Senator long enough, and perhaps he
had. At any rate, he is Senator no
longer.
