STATE GOVERNMENT.
The contrast between the admins
trative success of the Republican part
in national affairs and the humiliating
history of Democratic ineffieiency i
Nevada calls for a change in the po-
litical control of the state. With off

MINES AND MINING.
The great mineral wealth of Nevad'
is a treasury of fottune belonging t
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should b. give
the mining industry that may be &C
complished by legislation. We favo
the passage of a law extending TIL
right of eminent domain for mining
purposes to apply to locations mad
upon unfenc,d and un improved land
held in private ownership, the mineral
within which arc reserved by the gov
eminent that purchase may be mad
of the surface thereof by a locate
aft r proper appraisement; and we cor
denim the votoing of such a law thre
year since by a Democratic gov
ernor of Nevada after it's passage by a
overwhelming vote of the Legislature
We favcr conscrvativ, legislation tent
ing to reduce the abuses of an exce'
sive number of locations by one Q
more common locators, and favor q ~
duction in the time permitted for tn

prl vent confusion Of title and litig,

We further favor the passage OF
law to render the officers and PR
motors of stock companies liable fe
