MORNING APPEAL.
SATURDAY OCTOBER 20. 18T7
NOTES AND QUERIES.
In the somewhat eruptive and pimply "reforms-'
to which literature, and.especially news
paper literature is periodically subject, we
hear and see, every now and again some scold
ings, entreaties, denunciations and sarcasms
anent personalism in the use of the editorial
"we." We, (that is all of us), are often told
that the said editorial "we" is not a personal
pronoun at all, but rather a nondescript part
of speech signifying something which never
grew, which is lighted from within and with
out by a light that "never was on sea or land:
and which stands for a sort of usher or spon
sor, or pew-opener, as it were, and altogether
an irresponsible and intangible thin?. Also
that this "we" should never mean "I" when
dealing with broad principles and the discus
sion of matters and things of a general and
not an individual character. Of course all
this refers to the people whose business it is
to write for newspapers and not for moral and
educational and religious vehicles like the
Morning Appeal. An editor dealing with a
ponderous subject like the French Elections,
the Transit of Venus or the Effects of the
Reno Fair upon the Destinies of the Human
Race has no right (under the laws of good
taste) to make "we" do duty as a procurator
for his egotism and so take the place of the
inconsequential pronoun " I. " But, as every
body knows, these Notes and Queries, except
as the whimsey asserts itself, are in nowise
subject to any such regulations and arbitrary
dicta as this. The fact is this Collector only
lets "we" into a place in this column as an in
formal guest just as one receives her aunt or
her sister-in-law in the kitchen sort o' one
of the family. But rights is rights ! Here, in
this space and place the pronoun does mean
something. The times when it is a dummy
.r are the exceptions. The beauty of your well
considered Note or your categorical Query
lies in its egotism. William Hazlett (the
most admirable essayist of his time), speaking
of the " Tattler" and similar writings, tells
us that "Montaiene. who was the father of
this kind (the " Tattler" kind) of personal au
thorship among the moderns, in which the
reader is admitted behind the curtain, and
sits down with the writer in his gown and
slippers, was a most magnanimous and undis
guised egotist." Now here is high authority
for taking the most riotous kind of liberties
with the editorial "we," even to laughing in
its face, standing it on its head, or leading it
out into the hall and showing it the door.
But one may keep this convertible and adap
tive bit of editorial costumery within reach,
and use it as the humor takes him So,
when it is said here, a"s now we say, that we
are greatly pained to hear that ex-Senator
James Small, of Douglas county, is lying seri
ously sick at his home in Lake Valley, a very
general and widely experienced sense of solici
tude is expressed not alone this Notary's,
but that of a far-spreading constituency,
roundabout. From Mr. Maish, who returned
from a trip to Gilmore's Springs a day or two
since, we learn of Mr. Small's illness. His
disorder is inflammatory rheumatism. When
we think of the yards, yea, acres of cuticle
and membrane and tissue which the Senator's
broad anatomy presents to the incursions of
that dismal, grinding pain, we cannot with
hold our sympathy. We understand him to
be a very grievous sufferer. Also Mr. Maish
thinks there is a decided danger of fatal re
suits. Very much in earnest we hope the
Senator may find speedy relief and full recov
ery : for there is many a square foot of the
best kind of material in Jim Small . .
Speaking of the Soda Springs, Mr. Maish says
that Mr. Gilmore has already begun his prep
arations for building a house there. It will
be a log-cabin of commodious dimensions and
substantial structure. Those springs one of
these days will be in great favor with the
watering-place-seeking public. The water is
almost identical in tasta and chemical proper
ties with the water from the famous Congress
Springs at Saratoga. There are many instan
ces of its effectual curative properties. By
and by when Lake Tahoe is rimmed by a wide
and level turnpike and elegant public houses
dot the shore from place to place, Mr. Gilmore
or somebody else will widen that beautifully
situated road which leads from Yank's to the
springs, grade it nicely, and, possibly, extend
it on round the other side of Falling Leaf
Lake, making a delightful circuit of that
lovely sheet of water. (We have an indis
tinct notion that there was a promise made in
the Morning Appeal some weeks since that
all Lake Literature should be suspended for
the season ; and so in eflect it has been ; but
all signs fail in dry weather.) Notwith
standing the prolonged drouth and the lack of
igns of a change in the weather there seems
to be an instinctive movement on the part of
householders to anticipate a sudden and vio
lent change. So we hear the busy thump of
hammers and hatchets, doing duty on roofs
where the uninterupted. sunshine of six
XJionths has turned up the edges of shingles
and left leaky places leading into bed cham
bers, parlors and sitting rooms. After all
man is only a sort of an indifferent beaver or
an overgrown ant. He takes to getting his
lodgings in order against the winter's rigor
just as that beast or that instinct does. Geese
fly to the South, simultaneously with the
reshingling of roofs And the mending of debil
itated windows and the replacing of disordered
weather boards. So that besides being a poor
sort of beaver or imperfect ant, man is a not
distant relation of the goose tribe, gandering
about aimlessly save as directed by instinct
enough to impel him to get in out of the
weather and take shelter from the rain. .
If any unusual appearance of incoherence or
distraction is evident in this department it is
to be attributed to a heavy sense of duty in
connection with Senator Jones's Report on
the Silver Question. How the editor of this
paper can sustain himself as a financial au
thority or a political economist or a Numis
matician without writing something of an ex
haustive nature on that Report is what puz
zles him. To be sure the Senator has been
a year or two, digging through the dust and
mold of forgotten books, ransacking old libra
ries, consulting men who are learned in every
thing relating to money matters, double stand
ards, usury, exchange, banking, debt, coinage,
relative and reciprocal values, commerce,
manufactures and arts, and innumerable other
things related to his pet subject, and thus fit
ter himself to deal with those questions as no
American statesman ever did before ; but all
this makes no differencs. An editor is an edi
tor. It is his business to know everything,
and he does know it. So the duty comes
upon this seer to decide upon Mr. Jones' Re
port instanter. This duty is also felt by some
thousands of other dutiful scribes all over the
continent. Each of these will dispose of this
subject in the most peremptory and final man
ner, liie great man who does the financial
poetry for the New York Tribune has already
done his duty. He has demolished Jones in
a half column of epitomized editorial profun
dity. It will be the pleasure and privilege of
the editorial head of the Morning Appeal to I
sustain this Report. He knows" nothing in
the world about it (much as it is his duty to
know it all); but he has a duty to perform
and he means to do it, or. like Miss Emilv
Pitts Stevens, perish in the attempt. We
may postpone this effort until some day in
the undefined future ; but the subject cannot
be denied a hearing. Until this nutter is
well clear of the mind editorial, the medita
tive machinery necessary to the smooth run
ning of these N's Q's may exhibit evidences
of abstraction, pre-engagenient and Brown
study.
ITEMS. '
MILLINERY GOODS OPENING.
Mrs. Pinnigar, favorably known to the ladies
of Carson, has again opened a millinery estab
lishment here. She and her superior stock of
goods can be found in the Adams House
Block, immediately in the hotel building. The
new assortment of goods is very choice and
very comprehensive. Mrs. P. will reconstruct
ladies' bonnets and hats; make over old mil
linery material etc. We advise our lady
friends to renew their acquaintances with
Mrs. Pinniger. Sea her advertisement.
The Bodie Pharmacy. It is gratifying to
know that the ills of the Bodie (district) are
to be administered unto by a trusted and
trustworthy Carson man. The Dr. Martin
herewith mentioned is our late fellow citizen
of the Willis dispensary. We quote from the
Bodie Standard of Oct. 17: When completed
Bodie can boast of as fine a drug store as is
to be seen in any of the interior towns. The
Bodie Pharmacy will soon be ready for bus
iness, the carpenter work being near com
pletion. Large quantities of the stock is
already on hand, and Dr. Martin informs us
that the remainder will arrive within the
week. The doctor will personally superin
tend the compounding of prescriptions, etc.
That Newnham Boy. We made inquiries
in several directions yesterday to ascertain, if
possible, the condition of the Newnham boy,
who was hurt near the Reno Fair Grounds
Thursday, but nobody seemed to know
anything about the matter.

Sir. H. M. Yeiington returned from the
foggy air and seductive vanities of San Fran
cisco Bay yesterday.
Ihe moon of October still continues to
shine all through a cloudless sky just as if it
were not true that there had been no rain
upon this thirsty soil for six long months.
This is the last day of the Fair. Now or
never is the cry. On to Reno !
Mr. C. B. McClellan's excellent picture of
Gold Hill is on exhibition at Grant Israel's
saloon Virginia City.
The corner-wise entrance to the Ormsby
House bar (reconstructed) is assuming the
proportions of an architectural fixed fact.
At the ladies tournament at Reno yester
day Miss McKissick won the first prize, Miss
Newman the second and Miss Ida VanSickle
third. There must have been some amazing
riding (or judging) to make Miss VanSickle
third instead of first.
Will Madame Modjeska come to Carson ? j
She is to make her first appearance in Vir
ginia City on next Monday night.
The Chronicle copies our item about young
Wren, and says that the police of Virginia
know nothing of the case. That might be
and still so gently o'er me stealing might
practice the nimble larcener his dextrous art.
The wren is a small jayhawk, none-the-iess.
"Good air and plenty of it" is what they
find by prospecting the Sierra Nevada mine.
Might secure that blessing without hoisting
works and Burleigh bores.

Gillson & Barber ai Bodie. -r-VVhat our
enterprising townsmen, Gillson & Barber are
doing at Bodie is related by the Standard as
follows: The handsome new store building
of Gillson & Barber in this place deserves
more than a passing notice. The building is
60x24, with cellar under the entire building.
The structure is of wood, wood lined, making
it very comfortable. In the rear of the store
room they have a nice confortable office room,
partitioned off, with glass doors, windows,
etc. Have a well of water 20 feet deep, with
a Blake double lever force pump and 150 feet
of 2-inch hose for use in case of fire. They
are receiving an immense amount of goods,
hardly a day but a number of wagons con
signed to them come to hand, Their assort
ment is varied, consisting of groceries, hard
ware, crockery, furnishing goods, mill and
mining supplies etc. Frank B. Hessel, the
manager, is very accommodating and obliging,
and never tires doing favors for those who
drop in to see him, whether wishing to pur
chase or not. He informs U3 that it is the
intention of the firm to have on hand an
inexhaustible Bupply before the roads are
rendered bad by snow.
