NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
A good deal of distress has been feli
in the minds of Democratic editord for
the past few days over the fact that the
estimates of the Treasury Department
sent to Congress at the opening of the
session indicate anapparent deficit o
21,647,885 during the fiscal year which
ends June 30, 1899. It is proper to say,
with reference to this estimate, that a
recently enacted law requires the War
Department to put into its estimate for
the expenditures of the coming year all
estimates mude by subordinate officers
of needed expenditures upon the river
and harbor works where they are employed. The result of this is that the
estimates for river and harbor improvements alone amounted to $65,400,409.C0,
which, of course, is from forty to fifty
million dollars more than will be appropriated for that purpose. Notwitbstanding the fact that these figures
were excessive, the Treasury Department was compelled under the law to
include them in its so-called estimates,
knowing full well they were absolutely
excessive, and that the appropriaticn
for this work would fall probably $50,000,000 below the figures named. These
circumstances account for the fact
that the official figures estimate an apparent ‘deficit of $21,000,000, when, in
fact, it is expected that there will be a
surplus of at least that amount in the
year in question.
Something to Kick For.
The Reno Gazette says: We know
of merchants in this town and Carson,
in fact nearly every town in the State,
who preach up patronize home merchants, keep your money circulating
at home, who send “below” for their
letterheads, billheads, envelopes and,
in fact, all the stationery required to
conduct their business, and yet these
game “business men” are the loudest in
denouncing any one who sends away
for anything they (the merchants) deal
in. Nevadans for Nevada sounds poetical, but the same loyalty should extend to all alike. The Gazette will acknowledge that it feels 'a little sore
over the proposition of “home industry.” We had a canvasser out the
other day canvassing for subscriptions
to the Gazette and he met many who
said: “We take more papers than we
can read. Why, we get the Examiner,
Chronicle or Call and do not want the
Gazette.”
A Miner’s Appeal.
Last evening’s Virginia City Chronicle says: William Pellew, a former
Comstock miuer, was recently hurt 80
badly in a mine at Jackson, Amador
couuty, California, that his eyesight
was destroyed. He appeais to his fellow miners on the Comstock in his
misfortune. A list of names, with
amounts paid, is at Prater’s grocery
store, and others who wish to help can
leave their mite at this place, and the
sums gathered will be sent to the injured man.

The last few days of storm has stirred
the icemen around here to great activity.
P. Henry has had a crew of men at

aine inches in thickness.
Elmer Smith, who bas been working
up at the Cold Stream Ice Company’s
works, was brought home Sunday sufftism.
Superintendent Dysart at Iceland
