"A DRY WINTER.1
Hf-'tv the jiiut six weeks we have heard
repeatedly that "it looks as though we'd
have an nnen winter." and have read 'A
ury inter t remcieu in most 01 our
1 -t3Achaneei. 8 fiett'D! tiresome.
When we reud these items it ia either
injj r raining. Loog before the
LOfjimial time the snows and ruins com
menced. and water has been falling, in
iUvtJK- nilB ehaiw or the other, nearly ever since.
' Hi JNUu . . ....
jfAi ready there has been as mucii tall as
il,ri jfc omet'iniei hare in a whole season i
for a(the air is still full of water and yet "A
"tv,t.ilpv Winter" ( "nrrtifr.i" with iuimm.
i...t,int anil unfeeling nertinacitv. Will thev
ti' 'wa.v predict? Professor Tice, tlie
itt cloud expert of St. Louis has been for-
gotten, Wiggins, the Canadian weather
prophet, is relegated to obscurity, but
the "oldest inhabitant" dies not and
the Indian "Medicine Man" survives
the Klm-ies uf his race to lie to us about
the weather. We suggest instead of
such items something comparatively
fresh the mother-in-law joke for in
stance, or "Why does a chicken croiB the
street? "
THR INTERSTATE LAW.
The Itoilway attorneys in Congress
re agitating the question of the repeal
of the Interstate Commerce law. It in
claimed that thelawiBinjurioustotlie rail
way interest. The fact is that the rail
way interest is suffering more from vio
lation of the interstate tnw by secret
rate-cutting than from any other cause.
As far as Nevada is concerned the Inter
state Commerce law might almost as
well not exist. The discriminations
made against us, under cover of an ap
parent compliance with the law, effectu
ally prevents the development of even
that part of the state through whih the
railway runs. Still the law must not be
repealed. It is at least a formal asser
tion that the people have rights which
ought to be, even though they arc not,
resiected.
A SAD AWAKENING.

"Yes," aaid a Board of Trade man to
a friend yesterday. "I wish I could
make a big winning on this wheat mar
ketI need it in order to square myself
with my little son this coming Christ
i v.-t, 1 had to fool him lost year, as
corn did me up, and I was broken an be
hung up his stocking. Along about Sep
tnm Iter he came to me and Baid, in bis
ingenious way, "Fop, I want you to have
Santa Clans bring me a puny this year,
and a suit of clothes and a drum,
and a swoi'd, and some candy and
some fruit." Well, It was only .Sep tern
her, aud I had no idea but that corn
would help me out before snow tlew so 1
told him I would fix it with Kris Krin
gle for him. But corn kept nn fooling
ma, and by the 1st of December I had to
borrow car fare. One bright morning
about two weeks before Christmas, the
hoy came to me and asked me if I had
thought to inform Santa Claus of his
wishes. 1 thought it had come to a
Mow down' so I took him up on my
knee, ran my ringers through his curly
hair and said: ".lohnny, you are now
about six years old, and it is time to un
learn some of childhood's fables. The
story of Santa Claus is a very pretty one
to tell little boys in skirts and very little
girts, but now that you have put on
breeches I think it my duty to disabuse
your mind of thette baby legends and to
tell you that there is no such person as
Santa Claus. 2 have always been Santa
Claus to you, and have always brought
you everything that you have thanked
Santa Claus for. But this year 1 am
poor, my boy, and though 1 will try to
give you some small present 1 cannot
afford to get all you ask for. I tell you
old man it was hard to undeceive that
trusting child, and it cut me to the heart
to tee the tear well up aud dim his
clear "blue eves as bn realized the tiutl
the sad truth. His tiny handn banned
my thumb with a couvulmve grasp, be
daubed away the fast-coming tears, and
aiked, 'Top, have you beeu stringing
me in the Hame way about Jesus? "
