Reno Jobbed.

The work OF the last legislature. us
embodied in the Statutes. is receiving u
good deal of attention these days. Judge
Murphy has knocked out the eight
hour law, Controller Davis has punched
holes i'll the assessors law and now
comes the Reno Journal with the follow
ing on the law Incorporating the City OF
Reno:
Can anyone inform us how the clause
giving % per cent OF the city license
revenue to the State and the same pro.
portion to the county got into the Reno
incorporation Act? it was evidently the
result Of II severe case OF the jim jams
upon the part OF somebody il not every.
body connected with the formulation md
management OF the bill. Ii is the most
preposterous and astounding provision
that was ever Incorporated III II lcSisla-
tive Act. In fact the clause can hardly
he read by any sane person without
distrust of reason or cyesight. Why
not have gone further and donated an
other quarter to the Hanna ship subsidy
fund, and the remainder to the White
Pine county fair? The idiocy OF the
proposition would not have been inten.
siiied and the measure would mt least
lave been entitled tn credit in idiotic
consistency. The journal scribe does
not profess to he profound upon con-
stitutional law. but has heard lncidently
that law based il upon commou
sense. If this is true the clause above
mentioned will never bc seriously con-
silered 10y the Supreme Court, and we
are confident that orr City Council will
never consent tn the payment OF a
nickel upon such an absurd and mon.
strous distortion Of law and justice.
Let the State md county sue il they
like and when the case is decided in the
highest court let the City Council re-.
duce the city license I" onc-haif the
present amount.

ing OF ones prayers to God is not necessary

That was child's faith. President Mari;

There are so many parts OF a mis-spent life
But the mistakes of yesterday follow on
They trail our footsteps like blnodhounds.

No Power Like Love.

There is no power like love on earth OF
in heaven. Illustrations Of this truth oc
cur in every sphere. In missionary school
in Porto Rico a little boy who, had given
trouble in several classes was put into the
class OF a lady VINO seemed to win him
from the start. She had no trouble with
him. As accounting for this she said thai
he had very beautiful eyes, and that every
time she looked at him she was reminded
OF dear brother who had died not long
before. The love thus awakened in the
teachers heart made itself felt for GOOD in
the boys heart. Year ago. in a London
Sunday-school teacher showed remark.
able power over the boys put into her
class, even those who were toughest. Every
one OF them was won to Christ. and this
was the case with each new boy brought
under her influence. The superintendent
on one occasion referring to this fact
asked what was her peculiar way with
rough boys. Her quiet answer was: Il
don't know Of any peculiar way / have.
Only, whenever | look into the face of
hov who Is given into my charge | think,
Here is hoy for whom the blood OF tn,
Son OF God vas shed' And because OF
that thou ;nt ! can't help loving him. II
