Carson City, Jan. 8, 1896. Silver State: The Silver party was duly installed into official power today. Chief Justice Bigelow administered the of office to Governor J. E.

Jones and Lieutenant Governor R. Sadler at 10 a. m. in the office. There was a large assemblage present to witness the inaugural largest ever witnessed on such an occasion in this city.

Ex-Governor Colcord did the honors in admirable style and with ease and grace. After taking the oath the new governor and lieutenant governor were introduced by exGovernor Colcord, and both made a few and well timed remarks. Governor Jones testified to the commendable administration of the retiring governor, and to the high character, courtesy and integrity of the retiring incumbent, which was received with applause. On the conclusion of the official program, by invitation of Governor Jones, most of the crowd filed out via his private office, where wine ami wit flowed for a season. The other state officers, having previously taken the oath and filed the required bonds, assumed the duties uf their respective offices without ceremony.

To Further Improve the Univerity The Student Record says that the ltoard of regents at this session of the legislature will ask for an appropriation of $00,000, specifying in detail the use to which it is to be put.

The granting of the request is a necessity that tiie great end for which the president and faculty are striving may accomplished. It is to place the university of Nevada, in every respect, upon an equal footing with the best institutions in the land. The university cannot Income a large institution with the present population, but it can he made the equal in educational advantages of any of the great universities. We apprehend that economy will be the watchword of the incoming legislators, and no better watchword could be theirs. But there is true economy.

It is the determination of which is true economy that distinguishes the wise legislator. The fostering and perfecting of the state university will prove the most economical measures that was ever instituted by the legislature of Nevada. With the university rests the future of the state, arid will in Nevada, as in other states, prove the backbone of her existence. Unionville School Report.

The made day before yesterday by Congressmen Sibley of Pennsylvania, a free coinage anti-administration Democrat, against the Car- lisle bill was characteristic of the man who, though coming from a goldbug hotbed, has dared utter his honest convictions on the silver question. His speech was especially directed against the administration, and he flayed Cleveland in inimitable style. Here are a few extracts: ever a rebuke was needed to one who has attempted to trample down the prerogatives of the people, it is needed for him who has attempted to usurp this entire government to himself.

The time has come when there should something more than brawn, belly and brass to this He referred to George III, and said it had been given out that any one who voted against the bill would incur the displeasure of kings.

The big platform on which the altar sits was cleared when the speaker had finished his discourse' ami the congregation was told that the donations could he laid on the platform. Contributions that followed were, never equaled iu the history of the church and probably never in the history of any church. The donations consisted of nearly everything in the shape of personal property that can be imagined.

Old and young gave watches, rings, brooches, bicycles, overcoats, etc. Some pledged one tenth of their earnings to the church. When the giving had ceased and the crowd had filed out the altar which held the gifts looked more like the back room of a second hand store than the platform from which the gospel was preached.
