Weekly Reno Gazette (Newspaper) - May 15, 1879, Reno, Nevada VOL 3 RENO WASHOE COUNTY NEVADA THURSDAY MAY 15 1879 NO 7 The GAZETTE yesterday contained the full text of the laws adopted on far thu government of the new bom town of Reno Others will be added as experience demonstrates the necessity The people should re- member however that many things besides laws are essential to keep up an orderly and efficient government If a careless spirit pervades tho com if juries are too easy culprits if citizens hesitate to com plain against nuisances there is noth ing in the code to execute itself am there is no encouragement for tlu officers to maintain discipline if they meet with a cool support or none al all Every man should make it his business to ace that tho laws are obeyed and where they are broken he should upon the officers en- forcing them He should be willing to act as juror witness or complainant every day in the week if it is sary secure the safety of property from fire or theft and the health the town from dirt and decaying ter There is no uso of trying to feelings from buin hurt if they are outside tho law Th best way is to let them know once for nil that tha community is against them and put them right into the no matter what they think of it or who they are A BIG SURPRISE At 10 o'clock last night Col Fail and all the bankers and brokers in Virginia City went bjd with such dispatches aa Victory U Constitution all etc Suddenly the returns began to chop county after county rolled in all on the affirmative side and San Francis co's ten thousand majority kept drop ping telegraphed buck and forth at 8 o'clock they said Bjt en 8000 this city At 10 it was don't bet an mure than 5000 majority in San Francisco and at midnight it was only 3000 At light this morning it was conceded that the new constitution was curried by a of between 5000 and 8000 Wo can imagine the drop which the bankers and must have felt inside when they heard the news probably just as they were raising their mornings morning to their lips Some of them must fool keenly for they arc positive that it will do them harm We hope their fears are overdrawn and that the prospects arc bettor than most believe THE O RISC ON The GAZETTE to-day has i little item of news which may very im- portant to this state It is that a com- pany has incorporated fur tho purpose of building a railroad from to Oregon If this means should at once take steps to this new organization that a road would do a better business if it hero than it would to strike the overland further east It would got a great deal of California business this way both in freight passengers and mails The route would be far better than either the water or stage routes From Surprise valley to Astoria the tame line would be used in cither case and from there to lleno be as near and as easily built as tho other with a far better fur local ness If some enterprising citizen who has plenty of leisure wore to take the matter in hand he might get a monument and a two stick notice in the GAZETTE when he dies There is something out ef trim in mails between San Francisco and Nevada We have tried our best to got the GAZETTE to several of our subscribers who made visits to mento and San Francison and they reached them very irregularly They mailed carefully directed ly and doubtless left here regularly but somewhere on the way misfortune befel them aad they were lost delayed or thrown away THE INFLATION PARTY We of tho far west have felt the in- fluence of the greenback craze so tle that we its danger to the country It is by no moans extinct bat is organized and powerful anil as mischievous ns ever as will sien by the following remarks of eral Sam Gary in an interview with a Cincinnati Commercial Mr resumption as ob- is a sham a miserable The secretary of tho treasury has been compelled to violate plain statutes to accomplish his act of folly The vision ef tha law creating greenbacks which is upon tile back of every one of them provides that they shall not be received for custom duties Wo have insisted that a law making them receivable for custon duties wan Id have brought them up ti par with coin ten years ago and savec the country from the bitter experi ences of all these years Now in de fiance of law Sherman finds it saty to carry out his scheme to receive these notes for custom duties Again the coin obtained from customs is ap preprinted by law to pay the coin in terest of the public debt yet the cou pons on the bonds are paid now in greenbacks unless sent to New York for coin Tha maintaining of resumption do ponds several I the balance of continues in our favor bringing coin from countries and the secretary uf the treasury can sell bonds fast enough t keep up supply far resumption purposes he will maintain it for semi time But whenever coin is in de mand and all history shows that f paper money redeemable in coin wil sooner or later be presented for then will come the great crash ever witnessed in this try It is confidence and not coin premises to pay As to the revival of business I not see how this is to be brought by resumption I see it that already indications of a general revival of trade This 1 be- ieve to be a falsehood uttered on pose to deceive the and give them fulso hopes With some slight exceptions business was never as dead 13 at this hour A large majority el Business men are drawing upon capital to live and meet expenses Bankruptcy is still staring thousands in the face Persons who have a little surplus money arc withdrawing it from the banks not to invest it in pro business enterprises but to juy government bonds If business was practising forty millions would not be invested in one week in er cent bonds I want no better tuan this that lubor must continue and trade and languish you do not believe your greenback party's mission s ended and that resumption kills Mr no means Every hing at present conspires tn make party stronger than ever Even low the greenback is preferred to old and it always will be if it has a air chance This rag money based the resources and credit of this nation will always be the lont of coin and be preferred by the Let the metals be relegated o their legitimate used as commodities in settling of foreign trade give xis an Ie supply not an of jacks commence paying eff instead f increasing vipe out all bank issues of currency and business prosperity will come to tay I tell you the Greenback party will not accomplish its mission until results are obtained an affiliation f your party with the Democratic in the coming Mr will depend upon ho Democrats find not upon the If we capitulate the National party will the terms far as I am I vouch for do not care a about any mere political ii If the Democratic party will and boldly adept our platform f principles and commit their to secure their enforcement we can unite otherwise we will re- main as we are until we disintegrate both the old political organizations EDITORIAL The long the editors of constitution California papers have been preparing for weeks causes that operated to defeat the new and why it ought to have been defeated have been laid mournfully in the paper waste their filled with the Southern afar in etc The GAZETTE frequently predicted that the course of the opponents of the new constitution would prod tic a reaction in its favor which wouL float it in if it should be in thu full n its force on the 7th of May Th was bitter and extreme on hot sides and fought out with littl regard to the truth or right flu the convention adjourned it have carried Iho state by an majority but a i i would have defeated it if it com at the right time but it did not last simple truth would have been more effective weapon on the -ide o the capitalist but they did not there Everything was twisted anc exaggerated to suit side of th story There were ef gooc men voted in favor who would no have deno so if their judgment hac been convinced Thu plain unre strained truth is the strongest weapon a man or a newspaper ever used ii politics or business Subsidiary silver coin is nearly par with gold and the silver men say Jones did it The caries ing to bring it to par arc thus spoken of in the The reduction in tho discount not traceable to any appreciation the value of silver in the markets the world The last quotations were the ounce while the par of ver with is the ounce The real causes are that the shoner 01 silver from abroad which hended on the resumption of specie payments has come to an end and has not been largo to produce bad effects and that tho of the country for silver change are increas ing to such an extent that the east is absorbing the surplus which was heretofore maintained here The strong probability the passage by the congress ot tne increasing legal tender function of subsidiary silver and providing for its tion in paper er gold at the sub uries in sums ef may also be set down as a factor in the appreciation of these coins It is likely that southern bulldozing by either party has seen its best days A population is suppressing the Bourbons and A Mr Atkinson says that ho saw plainly while in the south that the recent show in con- gress was the last gasp of a dead past called is honeycombed by forces that are and reconstructing it The pendulum swung too far one way an d put dishonest men in power in many states by moans of ignorant ballots now it has swung too far the other and lias sent to Washington men who think they are representative men but they are only the galvanized corpses ef a dead past and they are hanging selves with their own ropes and their own graves The New York World says of the effect of tho new Corporations will their offices to Nevada or Oregon This means of course a fatal blow at the real estate business of San Francisco We would of course like to see Reno made the headquarters for as many mining companies and insurance companies as we can get and if any overtures are made that way by the all the pains possible should takes to forward the matter We could as a town afford to donate lots and build offices for any company that would come in If the ball once gets rolling Reno will aot only many outside mining offices but some rom the yesterday The Carson Appeal makes this news The wires late last night the he cheering and congratulatory dings across the breadth and width of ho American continent that the new constitution for California lad been defeated It is a glorious victory for those who are interested in he continued prosperity of the golden rate and it is also and emphatic rebuke to the and istic element of that commonwealth It will teach them that their will is not and never will be the law so long as good men go to tho polls The tidings probably carao via Crystal Peak It is the new tion will cause a guod many foreign companies to withdraw from Califor nin The insurance agents for sev oral large companies proposa to move into Nevada and draw up all hero The mining companies who cai do so will also doubtless incorporate under the laws of this State the sam as the Yellow Jacket is now and have the offices of their secretaries and per haps presidents here If they incor in San Francisco the directors will be held personally liaMe for al the acts of the companies The Pennsylvania legislature has just passed a by which a man over sixteen not a cripple or deaf anc dumb who asks for alms is classed a tramp and is made liable to arrest for misdemeanor and on conviction may be sent to prison

Eureka road did with Fisk and such laws between we wil soon have the commune information is to the effect that General Grant will roach the United States about the latter part ef October or probably later if he can arrange it After a short stay hero he will make a tour of the south and visit the scenes of his military ments in tho late rebellion Then he will return to Philadelphia where he will make his phia That is a nice little programme and will manufacture seventy-five dollars worth sf Grant sentiment The next move will be to get the to declare that the law calling he constitutional convention or the for the election er the or something else is Anything to beat it will be he cry The next move will be to get the courts to declare that the law calling the constitutional or the for the the election er he ballots or something elso is je the cry Anything to beat it will The Bodie Standard Vote early vote often vote late to defeat infamous new constitution In such times as these when men traffic n votes as they do in shoe pegs we cannot allow such advice eren in jest to pass without a mild reproof Enormous sums of money were ost and won on the election The odds were in favor
