The Nevada Legislature.

The Nevada Legislature is now in
session at Carson and it is thought that
it will be a very important and interest,
Jog session. Measures fought with good
and evil will come before that body aid
it will be for them TO say what the peo'
pie OF this great commonwealth will be
benefited by or called to endure. This
Legislature is an unusually intelligent
and energetic one; perhaps the most in
teIligent and energetic body that has
convened for many years at Carson. We
hope and believe it is an equally con-
s.ientious and trustworthy one.
