Ox the eastern side of IheSierraNo vada lies a hundred thousand square " miles of desolate country, stretching eastward to the Wahsitoa, aal ex tending from the 42nd to the b2nd parallel of north latitude. It is a land" where no jivera flow, nor taoist- tire falls, where sharp shining quartz and sand are shone on by eternal sun and stars, and rarely. fallsthe grate ful shadow of a cloud. Itssurfaoeis wholly made up of isolated mountain spurs with narrow valleys between. sln the valleys are a few scattered 3 ranohes where potatoes and oats are " attempted to be grown; on the mou- tain sides are the deserted mines tba', for twenty years made the country the marvel of the earth. F Originally a part of Utah territory? thit great stretch of country of which wa speak, was, in 1861, made a terri tory, and in October 1861, given the dignity of a state. A greater mistake was never made. But for twenty vears the mistake weighed no more "heavily on its inhabitants than did "'the reverses of fortunes that they looked upon as something only in tended to heighten the good luck that was 3ure to come. Whether working in bonanza or borrasca whether calling the turn and sweeps ing the board, or fattening the bank, the -average Nevadan neither knew nor cared for the future. There was always a S20 piece for any one that wanted it, tmd the hills were full of silver. Ten years ago two mines alone wre paying dividends of 2,160,000 per month. But the days of the Con. Virginia are over. There is no more Raymond & Ely nor Meadow Valley, aad poor Nevada is like a sucked or ange. Not in the palmiest era of 'tbe days of '49" in California was there seen such lavish life, such generoas- ness, such careless disregard for the future as characterize J the men and women of Nevada in the days when every one was-rich, present or pros pective. Now the evil d ya are upon the sil rer state and the tide of wealth no longer surges through her rocky can yons. It is low water mark all over the state, and scattered from Mazat lan t'j Sitka are the men that male Nevada for twenty years" the freest, jolliest, richest state in the Union. Her present condition, apart from the saJ state of her fallen fortunes. Is a burlesque on state autonomy. We are s accustomed to see prog ress in every one of the American re publics that make up the nation known as the United States, that any thing like retrograde movement sur prises us. We read the censns re turns and note with pride that the state in which we were born or in which we reside, has so many hun dred thousand more people, and so many million more dollars of wealth, and w- feel that is a 1 right; that is. as it should bp, but when, as in the casa of poor fallen Nevada, the glitter of the star is obscured b the cloud of poverty, we all feel as though there was something radically Wrong and from all the galary of the remaining thirty-seven goes up a universal crv of "Put her out." What for? Granted that it was a mistake to make a state of .Nevada, "once a stnte, always a state." It's ' no disgrace for a state to be poor, though as in the case of individuals, . it's very inaonvenient Don't put Ne , vada out Give the giddy thing a chance to sober up end go to work and fight the hard times that have overtaken her. She has been flush ed with wine, but it was the wine of success an 3 .not of debauchery. When tho nation needed coin to make and keep its credit. Nevada was the nation's strong bes: she has con tributed thousands of millions to the solid enduring wealth of the world; now when misfortune comes upon her shall she be thrust back from the sisterhood of states? Let those who so justly argue that Dakota and Washington should be admitted . bear in mind that it is just as wrong to thrust Nevada backward on the threshold of territorialism as it is to keep stronger sisters there. Let them also remember that it is the amo political policy (although party reversed) that keeps Washington and (Dakota out that pulled Nevada in. Eastern editors and a few from this sundown slope are clamoring for the "extinguishment" of Nevada. On '.'this coast at least every man should raise jiis voice in protest against such contemplated action. ,& ; S;!8 reaa in ancieut history of YjjjjriBeligarius, the great general, -blind w Kidjbegging his daily bread in the ,v" F tity that he had eared from the to, and we execrate the ingratitude of his fellow citizens. But we have a parallel. A great general, a man who was at the head of our victorious armies, and who dictated peace at Ap pomattox, is -now in his pennlines? old age writing for the Century mag azine to earn money for bread. The nntion called him from the army six teen years ago to take the chair as president. It should now put him back as general of the army. Grant refuses a pension, but he should have his old position. It is but right, and the nation will honor itself ' by plac ing the bravd old man where he was before he was called to the "White House. NEW TO-DAY.
