New Racing Rules.

Some of the rules adopted by the Ameri
can Racing Association at the Turf Congress
in Chicago are arousing hot discussion
among parties connected with race courses
as to whether they can be enforced. A
new rule prohibits any change of horses
Another rule adopted requires tina
parties starting horses must have money
deposited with the Secretary OF the Asso'
citation over whose track they start. An
other rule provides that no book maker
shall be permitted to make a book on any
race in which a horse ia to start in which
he is directly or indirectly interested; in
case Of violation both he and the horse to
be expelled. A change in betting rules
makes it imperative that all bets and pools
on races shall 60 with the decision OF the
Judges.

Dan de guile, the art critic Of the Vir.
ginia Enterprise is dissatisfied with Mile
Nevada, the ssgebrush songstress. While
ready TO admit that the exhibition of hel
altissimo to the New Workers was perhaps
well enough, he thinks she should have
conceded her staccato. Dan is evidently
growing hypocritical.-Elko Independent
Now, the above Is a double shot-sn
alleged criticism by Dan, and an actual
criticism by our able Elko contemporary
-or by its mischievous devil. We suspect
il was the devil, for we have no idea thai
there is any human being who would
charge Dan de guile with being, or grow
ing hypocritical. Wonder II hypercriticai
was not intended.

MIR. MACKAY's ENTERPRISES.
Atlantic Cables, Telegraph Lines,
SILVER Mines. Banks and Rail.
rnaha.

John W. Macksy, the Prince of the b.
nanzas, has returned to the city from q
trip to the Pacific Slope, whittier he went
to look after his numerous mining, bank
ing and real estate interests. Vast as Mr..
Mackay's enterprises are on the Pacific
Slope, his interests on this side OF the
continent are Of almost equal importance
and magnitude. He is the largest stock
holder in the Postal Telegraph Company,
which is destined to be the most formida-
BILE rival the Western Union Company
ever had, and he is credited with owning
a two-thirds interest in the new Atlantic
cables, which are certain to destroy the
old cable monopoly. The Bank of Ne
vada in San Francisco, which has a branch
establishment in this city, is one Of the
strongest financial institutions in the
country.
1t is difficult to give an estimate of Mr..
Mackay's wealth, but those who are in
position to form an opinion on the subject
place it at about seventy-ive million dol
lars. Mr.. Mscksy is not a Spectator In
the sense that Jay Gould and other finan'
ciers who might be named are spectators
His investments are all bona fde transac
tions. He is still in the prime Of life,
man of great natural ability and business
sagacity and enterprise. He deservedly
holds a high place among the great CAPT
talists of the world.-New York Truth.
II would be interesting for Nevadans tt
know why Truth thinks Mr.. Mackay is mo-
as much of a Spectator as anybody else, mo-
excluding even Mr.. Gould.

lowing letter from George @. Gorham:
Ny DEAR SIR: The defeat Of Blaine has
put an end TO sham Republicanism, which
has for years been the ~eoncnbine OF the
Democratic Turk. Iflthe Republicans who
are devoted TO equal justice and equal
rights will cease mistaking the false Tor
the true, will cease stoning their pro-
phets and enshriniug cheats and prosti-
tutes, there can be q reformed Republic
can party. II Reds and Halsteads and
Blaines and the like are still to be
our Aarons in tho wilderness, then il
would be q crime to restore q party In
which they can flourish. AS for the negro.
be will thrive better by q little wholesome
neglect from those who use him a. a party
shibbaleth in the North. while conspiring
against him ia the South. The Republic
hn some dark problems to solve, but the
daeat of the man who WAS as violently
opposed TO Mabone's coalition in 1881,
1928 rs to the force bill in 1875, is
surely q step forward. Blaine says he was
defeated because Burchard arrested the
d~esertion Of the Catholics from the Demo-
cratic ranks. What n confessionl He re-
ceived the votes OF one third Of the Demo-
cratic party of the United States, else be
would not have carried ten States, perhaps
not six. shall wait to BEE whether the
party tries to recover strength by building
on its own diseases before / hasten my con-
clusions as to the future.

The silver Product for Eight Years

The Mining Record has made a careful
estimate of the silver product of the world
for the eight years ending December 81,
1883, and finds 1t to amount to the sum OF
S776, 624, 451; during the same period the
coinage amounted to 1911 .047, 249, the ex,
cess Of coinage over product being 1884,
422, 79S. This proves on its face that the
assertion that there is q redundant supply
of silver in the world is erroneous. The
Records estimate includes the coinage Of
Russian and Spanish America.

Murder-GuiIty Conscience


SALT LAKE, Dec. 6. While q party OF
soldiers Of Fort Custer, Montana, were out
picnicing near that post, two Of them,
private Burke Of G troops, and private
Keels of I troops, First Cavalry, got into
a quarrel about some beer they had with
them, and after q few hot words had
passed between the two men Burke went to
his quarters at the post and returning to
the picnic grounds with his carbine. He
found Keels and fired, the ball enteriag
keels' mouth and passing through his
head. Death was almost instantaneous.
Burke was arrested and placed in the
guard house, and will be tried before q
Court Martial on the night of Jan. l.
e. W. Lozier, clerk Of the Railroad
Hotel, North Platte, Neb., was found in
the hotel with his hands and legs tied and
his mouth stopped with q gag. The hotel
was robbed Of 5000, and Lozier claimed
that disguised men had committed the rob-
berry. Lozier pretended to identify one Of

the suspicion fell upon Lozier. A warrant
was issued for his arrest, and he hid in his
room. IA attache of the house knocked
at his door when Lozier shot himself
through the breast, thinking it was an
officer come to arrest him. He died in
about two hours.
