SENATOR JONES FOR PAPER
MONEY.

Senator Jones, who is supposed to
represent Nevada in the United States
SENATE, though he has not resided
twenty four hours in the State since.
nor for some time before, his election,
is reported as having experienced a
change of heart on financial questions.
A Washington special to the New York
Post says he has drawn up an amend
nent to the Constitution which he in
tends to submit to the Senate at the ex-
ira session Of Congress. 1t provides
that paper money only shall be issued
at the rate of twsaty dollars. per capita
of population. He believes the amend
ment will be popular and will be rati-
fed by the Legislatures of the Western
and Southern States. He does not
hesitate to say that be wants gold and
silver made commodity, and not, AS
at present, standard of value. That
position is to be accorded to paper
colored green or yellow, and stamped
by the Government. Oar Senator
has great faith in the efficacy of paper
money. Through the influence of
gold notes he carried Nevada by large
majority, and was. elected Senator. He
is the inventor of system of election
eering by which millions can be spent
without corrupting anyone, and now
that he has devised a method of max
ing millions out of paper he must be
accorded the position of leading fnan-
cier of the universe. Great and wise
Jones and happy Nevada that can
boast of such Senator.

Capt. VIM. Thorwegan, and wife,
decided that they could not get
through the dense smoke in the
hall, and were returning to their
room when the star of a policeman
appear at the top of the stairs, and
the captain said, "If he can come
up. we can go down." and they es-
capped.
Miss Lottie Allen and Miss Ma
rian p. Clifton, two prominent ac-
treses, also managed to grope their
way through the smoke, losing all
their property. Joseph P. Carr, be-
ing very large and strong man,
and knowing the Railways well,
wrapped his wife and child in
blankets, and closing his eyes and
mouth, took them safely out.
Policeman Blackboard heard two
pistol shots in room, and kicked
open the door, and saw in the
smoke q man and woman lying
bleeding on the fioor-some couple
who had rather die by the bullet
than he burned alive. The ruins
have been thoroughly searched, but
it is quite possible that bodies were
burned to ashes so completely that
no vestIge was left, and the exact
loss of life can never be known. II
ia safe to say, however, that if all
the rooms had been provided with
ropes, nearly every body could
have escaped.
