chance to dispose of them another
season. As it is, the Nevada fash
ionables may get some this year,
and if not allowed to come to the
city next summer, to get wisdom
on the subject will be none the
worse for it and better united with
bargains whicn may then find their
way into the interior. We do not
want to discourage the dry goods
merchants, but we do wonder who
is to wear the endless knife plait-
ings and ruffles, which the Goddess
of Fashion has decided must soon
be laid aside for something more
novel.


Apropos of fashion, the fashion


POLITICS


is to be next in order. Who would
suppose that people would never
learn wisdom, without the signs of
the times before them, with all the
warnings they are having from the
eastern condition of things, the
republicans have done their best
to procure their own death warrant
in this state. by making a mistake
in the very beginning. If they had
not been pig headed, they might
and must have seen the need of
unity to have carried the state, and
yet few old hacks have brought
forward another old political hack,
and endeavored to foist him on the

for governor, and Rome has almost
howled at the evident presumption,
stupid folly and abominable non
sense of the whole proceeding. The
first thing the candidate had to do,
was to come forward and clean his
reputation, which was done suf1i-
ciently lamely, and of course the
next that is to be done, and is being
done, is to form an

What an idea is it not for a man to
