The Stock Exchange expresses its views
upon much mooted question as fol-
lows:
Senator Sharon is cntcning merry
purgatory from the Eastern press, be-
cause he has drawn hs salary as Sena-
tor for two yenrs that he didn't earn by
his continued absence from Washing
ton. They have raked up from ancient
asbes IN old law which prohibits Sena-
tors from drawing pay under such cir
cumstances. and our Eastern contem.
poraries arc fearful lest Mr.. Sharon
may return the greenbacks to the Treas
ury. We think Senator Sharon served
his country and State better by staying
away than by remaining, for he would
certainly have voted for some bad bills.
Absence prevented this calamity. II
all the Senators.would mako themselves
conspicuous by their absence for several
years, the country wouldn't be ruined.
And yet some people over In Nevada
think Sharon ought to resign.
