Mckinley had been assassnated
and all were alike glad when they
heard that the president would re

A. Erightful Evil

re there is one reason above an
otheriwhy fraud in elections should
cease; that reason is the incafcula'
Bile injury 1t is doing the moral
character Of the white men OF Vlr-
ginia., -
There can, be no doubt about
this. Men taught to scorn lying
and cheating and trickery in bust
ness affairs, yet do not hesitate to
practice them in election matters,
alleging, as an excuse tbat~"the end
Iusti6es the means"
This is miserable state of affairs
for Just as surely as these evils are
practiced in one place, they are 60
ihgato, be'practiced in another.
Our election laws are simply
breeding wholesale corruption
among~the young white men OF the
State, and while the excuse ne
gro domination-is deplorable
enough, it is utterly insignificant
iu;comparison with the terrible and
nradieable evil it IS provoking
Men cannot be liars. and perjurers
dit the polls, and be honest else
where. Tie evil may not be OBJ
servable at first even to themselves
but. Just as surely as the practice Is
continued, just so surely will NOR
al stamina be Slapped, and mora
character degenerate.
The white men of Virginia TO
their own sakes cannot afford t.
uractice frauds in elections an,
longer, The evil is frightful in it
self, but, doubly- So because it is in
sidious-because it does it's fell
work under the eye Of the law, AM
with,ths full knowledge, if not di
rect approval. of the very highes
types Of citizenship.
For the above reasons we urg
upon the Constitutional ConYentiol
that it shall give the people a per
teeAy honest election law-one ii
which no word, sentence, clause o
paragraph can by. any possibl
chance be turned to the evils o
fraud, and deception.-Charlottes

u \ PLAN
To Increase Salary
Of Fire Chief.
Captain and Assistant
B Chief to be One,
Thereby Giving $500
For increases.
Chiefs Salary to be $1,000 and
Assistant.Captain's, $1,000.

Fire Chief John II. MertZ took charge
of his position Thursday morning, but
beyond assigning John-Phillips to reg
ular duty at No. !, made no changes.
However, some important changes
are to be made in the department
largely by the City Commissioners and
Council. The Chiefs salary is to be
made $1,000; regular assistant chief
is to be appointed, who will also be
Captain of No. ], with the salary for
both positions fixed at $1,000. 1t Is
believed that Chas. Jost, at present
captain of No. i, will be the assistant
chief and still retain his position as
captain. Mr.. John Cummins, assistant
chief. is to be captain of No. 5. He
has been little more than "a call man,
and has been working nearly all the
time at Taplin. Rice & Co.'S shops.
His salary from the department is $500
a year, but as captain of No. 5, he viii
receive 5000.
1t was necessary TO adjust matters
this way so that the chiefs salary
could he increased without making
additional expense. He will be given
$500 of the money devoted heretofore
TO Mr. CumminS, and Captain Jost,
IT, made assistant, will receive 500.
In this way special position will have
been abandoned
A resolution authorizing the above
changes will be presented to Council
Monday night. Meanwhile, the Com
missioners will wait in the matter of
appointing officers for Nos. and 6.
1t is regarded as likely that I.ieuten-
ant Chas. Tryon will he made, captain
of No. L. and Myron Fritz, lieutenant.
They had been slated for No. g. prior
to the resignation OF eXClhef Mander-
bach.

TO ABOLISH THE
SUPREME COURT.

Commenting upon the ACCESSIBILITY
of holding q Constitutional Con-
vention in the State of Nevada,
and the duty of the coming Legis-
lature to provide for the meeting OF
such q body at an early date, the
Reno Ledger offers the following
suggestion:
"a Constitutional Convention can
be called in a way that it will pay
for itself in what it would save to
the people of the State in q few
years. For instance, the Supreme
Court should be abolished. This
would save the people of the State
from fifteen to twenty thousand doll
lars a year. The District Judges, oil
which there are five, could be cre'
ated q Supreme Court and sit en-
banc and hear cases at certain peri
dds of the year. There are a num-
Der of ways that a new Constitution
would saw thousands of dollars tc
the taxpayers of Nevada each year.
This is not altogether a new idea
as the plan of constituting the Dis
trict Judges en- banc the Supreme
Tribunal has been tried with more
or less success by a number of thu
States in times past.
During the year 1900 the Judiciary
including the Supreme and Distric
Courts, cost Nevada the sum of 1884,
217.70 As no figures are available
to show what was accomplished dur
ing this period, il cannot be stated
whether or not the investment was
profitable one.
