SENATOR" FITcH.-Thomas Fitch,
formerly Congressman from Nevada, aud
one OF the Senators sent to Congress by
the would-be State of Deseret, has been
lecturing in the East on the Coming
Empire" on the Pacific. The jamestown
IN. W Journal gives the following
glowing notice of Senator Fitch and
his lecture
The Senator is middle-aged man, of
noble presence, fine culture and great
natural abilities. He gave glowing de-
scription of the Coming Empire" on
the Pacific, beginning and closing his
lecture with an eloquent reference to the
dedication, by Vasco Nunez de Balboa,
the discoverer of the Pacific in 1913, Of
all that vast and unknown country to
christianity and civilization: The de-
scription of this wonderful Empire, its
rich mines, its frowning Sierras, its pre-
cepitous canyons. its Wales of tropical
luxuriance, its medical springs, its stores
of salt and silver and gold, its magnif-
cent fruits, its pure and life-giving at
mosphere far surpassed the widest WIS.,

within the sober bounds of truth. For
an hour and half the Senator held his
audience spell-bound by his eloquent
word-painting, or as he referred to the
quaint humor of the Pacific, convulssd
with laughter. The wit of the lecture
was as keen as Damascus blade, and
salt as the waters Of the Sea of Utah.
Such q lecture fills one with plide in a
country SO rich in scenery, so wealthy in
all useful productions and capable Of
such magnificent development, and espe
cially was it calculated to make ont
proud of the growing State of Nevada
which has sent forth as one Of its Sena
tors, man, not mere politician, but |
gentleman of culture and so we'll worth,
