They are able to do things for themselves the strong people of Nevada. They are able to pass laws, good laws, unpurebased laws, for the government of the state; to elect Nevada citizens to the house of representatives and the senate of the United States. And the state will take the glory to which it is entitled. Its soil yields under the splendid touch of industry;, its mines are richer than ever before in its history; its manhood and its womanhood are as brave and a& pure as in the olden time. Nevada, with corruption driven out of its politics, is to really be what its founders hoped, one of the most glowing stars in the eternal contellation of the Union sky. One of the most praiseworthy characteristics of a man is the desire for doing1 things. 'That is, for doing the right things. Merely to do things for the sake of doing them, without regard to the merit or the effect of the doing, is to be like a monkey. Monkeys are always doing things; but what they do is never worth doing.

It appears that Nevada is proceeding to mount the shining heights. She is going to have a square senatorial fight. The Appeal :says that "Hon. George Nixon, a Republican, and Hon. William Sharon, a silver party man, who are regarded as leading candidates" for the United States senatorship, have agreed to make an honest contest for the place neither one resorting to corrupt methods. Both of them are relatively poor men. Neither one of them is worth more than $50,000, according to the Appeal. Our neighbor state is proud of her mines and proud of her new irrigation movement a magnificent result of the magnificent work of Senator .Francis Newlands. But she has more occasion to glorify herself in this rennaissance of political honesty than in all other things combined. What a splendid thing it will be for Nevada to have elected by honest and incorruptible legislatures, men who, in their turn, will serve honestly and incorruptibly in the nation-al'hallNot that all men elected by Nevada have been tainted, but because some of them have been, and because the battle-bor- n state suffered has immeasurably thereby in the of mankind. judgment Honesty in public life is so much better for Nevada than The Sack. When once the old and honest way shall be restored, when venality shall have been banished, what a proud rank Nevada can take among the states of the Union, and how gloriously will her upright citizenship hold itself in the eyes of the world!
