TIE INDIVIDUALS PART.

Now that the campaign is over it may
be well to call attention to the fact that,
important as good government is, much
remains for the individual to do. No
government however good can save q
citizen from the punishment which fol-
lowe evil dong and 40 government how
ever bad can entirely rob a citizen Of
the reward which m%eritorious conduct
arms. Under any government, however
good. the citizen who is idle and sloth-
full will lag behind the one who is dill.
gent and attentive to business; under
any government, however good, the citi.
zen who destroys his strength by dissi-
patton will fare badly ns compared with
the one who leads n temperate life;
under any government, however good,
the citizen who wastes his substance in
riotous living will come at last to hueks
while the n who economies and
saves is laying the foundation for n for.
tune. While under any government
however bad. those who have high ideals,
who exercise self restraint and who per.
severe in their labors will surpass those
who live from hand to mouth and eur
render to appetite and passion that
supremacy which should be held by
head and heart.
Government may raise OF lower the
general level, but the position which
any given person occupies with relation
to his fellows depends, as a general rule,
more upon himself than upon my law.
Then, too, reform legislation can only
be secured by corporation among many,
while each Que can reform himself with.
out asking the aid or consent OF any one
else. just rs any ono can throw himself
away IN spite Of all that others can do.
Without abhting his interest in politi.
cal reforms, without abandoning his
efforts for social reforms, each one can
resolve TO make the most Of every talent
and opportunity and, under the inspira.
ton OF q high purpose, devote every en-
ergy Of body, head and heart to the
work OF life, finding pleasure in useful
ness and compensation in the conscious
mesa Of duty done.-Commoncr.

THE STATE ELECTION.

As the returns come in from the out.
lying districts In tho extreme points OF
Nevada, the result of the contest be,
tween Eugene Howell and Glib Doug.
lass for Secretary Of State is more con-
tusing. From the latest reports
received, Howell has made con.
siderable gam, especially in Lincoln and
Lander counties. In Lincoln county he
now has over 200 majority. which helps
his fight materially. In Lander county
he has made gains as far ms heard from,
In Elko county the small precincts that
were not visited by the csndidats have
returned a majority for Mr.. Howell.
As the fight now stands, it Is 80 close
that an official count will be necessary
to determine who wall hold down the
office for the next four years. Both men
claim u majority and both headquarters
are doing the closest kind OF figuring.
In the fight between Ring and Bray
the case is almost similar, while il looks
like Ring has the advantage, as he has
received some great maiorities in coun-
ties that were naturally Democratic.
This vote will take the official count to
straighten.
The fight for the C~ontrollerehip is
pretty close, but Davis is still in the
lead with Lincoln and Lander counties

the county he will have a safe majority
OF over 200 with a chance Of u gain in
Nye and Humboldt counties. The ma

Elko counties have placed his chances
to the good by several hundred votes.
AS far rs heard the vote OF Van Duzer
and Sparks is being increased IN nearly

Sparks will have close to 5000 majority
while VanDuzer will sweep the State
with nearly 1900. This is a higher fig
