HOW LONG, OH LORD, HOW LoNGq

Where is the relief to come from to a long
suffering public for the actions of the present
members of what is dignfed by the name
leglslature? Action was the word used but
'inaction" would be more appropriate The
dilly-dallyings of that august CD body would
put to shame the councils of class of school
boys. Seems as though the chief idea of an
assemblyman Is that he is sent to Carson City
to misrepresent his constituents and such be-
ing the case, the majority of them are eminently
successful
Virtually the only measure of any real
merit that has been introduced in the mad
house" was that on weights and measures same
being defeated by Talman Of Nye, via the
table route. )"
Considerable dissatisfaction is daily being
voiced and each day with more vigor, over the
inaeton of the democratic delegation from this
county. The act OF Tallman referred to above
calling for deserving censure on the head of
that worthy member of the 'inactives" Some
folks have even gone so far as to suggest, and
the Bonanza is III hearty accord with the sug
gestion, that the government send hook
worm" expert to the Nevada capital to ascer
tain whether or not the dreaded plague has
east blight over the democratic hosts!
However, on second thought this would bc a
waste of the experts time. The assembl vmen
are democrats they are in the assembly purely
and simply Tor filibustering purposes They are
there to delay legislation. To fight any measure
that carries with it the least grain of merit And
most important of all they are there to try and
force an extra session, in order that they NAV
clean up little more Of the filthy lucre y
Well, the voters elected them, knowing they
were democrats. Now they have them on their
hands and well they are beginning to realize the
fact. Butt might be well for those members
who go to make up the personnel of the in
actves to bear in mind the fact that thew
are not elected to the assembly for all eternity
TO bear in mind that there is another election
coming when it will be necessary for them to
give an accounting to that same long suffering

WHO SAYS THAT
INCOMPETENT, Ell?

A little comedy yesterday came
as relief to the judge, lawyers
and court attaches who have been
compelled for several days past to
listen to the monotonous testimony
in the personal damage suit Of
Jones against the West End. Joe
Pollard had been on the witness
stand for a considerable length of
time, had been dismissed when
one of the attorneys recalled him
to ask farewell question.
No sooner was the question ask
ed than the attorney for the oppo-
sition was on his feet with an OBJ
lection, on the grounds that the
question was incompetent, irrele-
want and immaterial'
Either overcome by the strain of
tedious siege on the stand, or
else misunderstanding the grounds
for the objection, Pollard jumped
from the stand with the remark;
'Blanketyblank -blank-blank, I'll
show you whether | am competent
or not"
considerable persuasion was nee
essary before the witness was will
ing to admit that the objection was
not intended as "a personal remark.

Word was received from the search

evening that portion of the bed

were wrapped had been found on
the opposite bank of the creek from
where the house stood.
The bedding was buried in two
feet and a half of slush and the
finding of these things so near the
scene of the tragedy makes the
searchers think the bodies of the
two women will be found in the

France but they are not entirely exempt from
accidents. One that occurred at Courville
Gay or two ago was as complicated an affair
as could well happen. Two express trains from
opposite directions simultaneously ran into

no record OF anything as bungling as that ever
having happened on an American road.
