WHERE THE BLAME LIES.


While a wave of thankfulness is spread
ing over Nevada for the adjournment of
the legislature, which occurred yesterday,
and between malldictions aimed at the
well for the voters of Nevada TO exam
inc their W conduct in the light of re-
cent events. How comes it that men so
venal and shameless as the majority of
the members of the legislature have
shown themselves to be were elected by
you? How comes it that a man of John
Sparks mental caliber and moral fiber
was placed at the head of the State by
your votes? Have they done more OF
less than might have been expected of
them, taking into consideration the way
politics are run in the State of Nevada 2
How many men of you. voters of Ne
vada, cast your ballot from pure mo-
tives alone2 Were any of you bought
for none or its equivalent? Then be
assured the office seeker who is un
s%crupulous in attaining position will use
that position TO further his own ends.
The man who will buy votes evidently
believes they are a negotiable article.
and If circumstance become pressing
may sell his own. We do not say that
this is always the case, but it is true
that the constant barter and sale of IN
fiuence. the trading of votes and suppor
that enters into the life of every politi-
clan of experience tends to duh the
moral sense. An act which at the be-
ginning of his career would be impossi-
BILE soon becomes easy and no longer
~repugnant to his political conscience.
In view of these facts it may be well
for the people of Nevada to blame the
system of politics which has brought
about the downfall of the ~law-making
body rather than the Individual men,
bers. The legislators may, after all, have
been representative of the electors who
placed them where they could do so
much harm. The remedy is to change
the system. Smash the machine. Get to
the root of the evil and then reform will
come of itself.

pensions, granted, while a few relieI
measures and remova of charges of
desertion made up the remainder. The

ON AND OFF GUARD.
A False Condition of Mind and Heart
Which Is Destructive of
the True Man.

A true man is never on his guard. He
is never watching himself lest he say
unwise words or 90 uneentlemanIy
things. He has neither home manners.
nor street manners, nor company man
ners. He has no pulpit tone, social tone,
nor business tone. When a man feels
that he must be on his guard, in view of
the company in which he happens to be
it is an indication of hypocrisy, all the
worse if il is unconscious. The true
gentleman is a gentleman all the time
asleep or awake. Some time ago a prom
inent lecturer was telling of dream he
had, in the course of which came a test
as to whether he would be true to his
word, even though it was at great cost
