THE NEVADA SENATOR,

Whether the Carson Tribune has been
seen" or not, we are unable to say. We
are too good natured to intimate any,
thing of the kind; but there are people
who will insinuate that belong and the
Tribune man are not at swords points.
the Tribune says;
The Honorable Charles E. DeLong
will leave Japan during the present
month, and will certainly be ameng his
old friends before Christmas day. 1t is
said by those who should know that Mr..
belong will be candidate for the
United States Senate. He brings with
him an excellent record. He has host
of warm friends, owing to the fact that he
never was known to forget friend The
general impression seems to be that the
Japanese Minister will prove very form
liable antagonist to our California-Ne-
vada Senator WIN. NJ. Stewart Charley
is man of indomitable energy and much
ability, and If he should come before the
people as leader of the Independent
party, it will require q very popular
man to defeat him. The fact that Mr.,
Stewart has entirely ignored the people
of the State ho pretenls to represent
that he has made two visits to this coast
and not spent one whole day in the State
of Nevada, should be sufficient reason,
if there were no other, to cause the citi.
zens of the State to rise up as one mar
against him. 1t is generally conceded
fact that Senator Stewart has had his
day, and that some better man than hi
will be the next United States Senator
As regards Mr.. DeLong We have, per.
sonally, nothing to say, and only refer
to him as probable candidate from ru'
mors to that effect. Our stand has been
taken and there we remain. Indepen-
pendence in politics is our theme, and
with the coming Independent party we
expect to stand or fall. We have num-
beers in our minds eye that we should
probably select in preference to belong,
still, we admire our old-time friend,
Charley, and shall be ready TO accord
him hearty Welcome on his return.

a practical contradiction and denial Of
the equal rights to which the colored
people are entitled. There are four of
these schools, and the eolored people
have respectfully petitioned the Board of
Education to stop their wrangle and
leave the schools as they are. The petit
TONERS say that they are not ashamed Of
their color, and though the law permits
them to send their children to the white
schools they prefer the present separate
arrangement. We presume, however
that the senior wranglers will not give

are abolished.
