Political Pap.

The Carson APPEAL is mistaken
in its assertion that the Times Re
view supported Mr.. Fair in his con-
test for the United States Senator
ship. This paper at that time was
owned by its present prepristors,
and they being Of differ political
omplexions, the Times Review took
no part whatever in the political
contest. 1t publishes the platforms
and tickets of both parties. and was
paid for the same at the regular
advertiseing rates and that was all
the''pap''it received from either
side. The junior was on the Dem
ocratic Electoral ticket and stumped
q portion of the State for Hancock
and English. Only that and nothing
more--Times Review.
We should say that getting pap
from both sides showed good bust
ness capacity on the part Of tbs
manager. If We recollect right the
APPEAL and Ruby Hill News were
the only two Republican papers ir
Nevada who fought Fair square up
to the day he was elected.

It now transpires that the story
about Mary Anderson. the actress
refusing to be introduced to the
Prince of Wales Was simply an ad-
vsrtisi.g dodge. A private letter
received in this city recently from
London gives still further ex-
PLANTATION. Here is an extract
"People here are laughing over the
predicament Mary Anderson is IN.
Her agent tried to get the Prince
OF Wales to call on Mary and he
failed to come. This made Mary
red hot at the Prince and all the
royal family, and to get even she
got the story circulated in the pa
pers that she had refused an intro
duction on highly moral grounds
and was then honored with an lnvl-
ted to a garden party given by the
Princess. The truth is that she
tried to retrieve her blunder with
the Prince by getting invited to ths
garden party and also failed in that.
The facts being known, it has made
her very ridiculous in London.

Concerning the OWNING rod the
Cleveland Leader publishes the tes-

Charles Latimer of Cleveland: "The

Just as the native Southerner is be-
trayed in his speech by the peculiarity
of voice and pronunciation. so is the
Western Yankee distinguished from
the New Englander. The typical
Yankee, slow of words, talking with
nasal twang. aud answering a question
bv asking another, is stiIl TO be met
with occasionally. Then the total
absence Of r-sonnds in the words Of the
inhabitant of Northern New England is
another popularity; he prouOunces
such words as warm, storm and the
like. ,ss IL written ~ahm. stohm. ETC.,
just as the kentuckian does. He says
obleege. deestrlst aud pIctur. but he
pronounces can't correctly. In fact he
is given to broaj vowel sounds, and
pass, lass. class, etc, are pronouuc, d
after the British method. He likewise
enunciates half as correctly as the best
school ma'am Of Ohio, and he would
laugh himself hoarse at the bare idea OF
calling q calf "cati" Such barbar
isms as cam, sam and pam, for the
pure. noble sounding words calm, psalm
and palm are never heard ia this part
of the Union. | wish could say as
much for Ohio, for it really seems when
~
one hears a man who has received a
university training give utterance to
such fat, vapld sounds, that a
portion at least Of that mans
education has been in vain. On
the whole, the New England
Yankee, who has never left his ma
tive hills, and whose schooling has
been SO little that he spells college with
a d. speaks. think, better English,
and speaks it more dramatically than
men Of other portions of the country
whose educational advantages have
been greater. OF course, habit has
much TO do with it; children learn to
talk as their parents aud grandparents
talk, and often years OF contact with
the world fails to smooth the jagged
edges Of certain inherited colloquial ex-
pressions. For instance, a Maine Yam

gotten it. Now it is found that the
meanest man in America lives in Iowa,

years, was accidentally injured while
working as brakeman on the Illinois
Central railroad. When taken to his

refused him shelter, turned him int the
street and the young man was taken to
the hospital and cared for. The young
man died Monday night, and the father,
who is good circumstances, refused to
pay cent of the funeral expenses or to
allow him to be buried in the family
tomb. The railroad men contributed
c:oney to give the young man decent
burial. Rotten eggs and tar and feathers

In an interview with reporter Of the
Chicago Tribune, ex-delegate Pettigrew
IS represented as saying that the people
of South Dakota will go ahead and form
state constitution, organize state gov
ernment under it and set side the terri
torial government; that the people Of
South Dakota are united on this question:;
that they have the territory and popula-
ton and are determined to govern them
selves; that there will be no clash with
the general government unless the feder-
al authorities make it themselves; that
with them must rest the responsibility.
When that sentiment was first expressed
we supposed it was all joke, but 1t has
been reiterated so often that it would
seem its promulgators are In earnest
With those who do not know better such
a revolutionary sentiment might be ex-
cused so long as no attempt was made TO
carry it into execution, but with such
men as Mr.. Pcttigrew it is nothing less
than lnexcusable demagoguery, and it is
not at all fattering to Dakota territory that
man of such sentiment formerly repre-
sented 1t IN the congress of the United
States. All that the seeding states in
1861 asked was to be 'slet alone,' and
they warned the government that If q
clash was brought on by interference Of
the federal authorities, upon them would
rest the responsibility and consequences.
THIS same sentiment is now promulgated
by the leaders in the modern ''southerE
confedcracy' of South Dakota. The
doctrine is SO disloyal and revolutionary
that it will disgust many of the outside
and disintercsted friends of their efforts
to secure statehood and arouse preju-
dice in congress against their scheme. 1t
seems they intend to 60 to the congress of
the United States in the attitude of q
bulldozer commanding terms and not as
an applicant for adoption into the family
of states. The idea of their presum-
ing to discard and set aside the govern.
ment of the United States and 10 inaugu-
rate and operate government OF their
own is prepostercus and absurd beyond
the susceptibility of argument. 1t does
not seem necessary to prove that the cre-
