THE sENATORSHIP.

The papers keep right on talking
nbout the Senatorial proposition just as
though it was all going to be settled
according to their predictions. Fair, OF
course, is the ayowed candidate Of the
Democrats, and it is now said that ex-
Senator Stewart is in the ring to stay
with the Republicans. Stewart is a
good man for the ofice-probably as
good a man as the Republicans can
find, but as this journal has remarked
before, the Republican nominee who.
ever he may be has got to have the
strongest kind of backing to get away
with Jim Fairs sack. Outside Of Stew
art there are dozen or more men in the
State who could beat Fair very easily
if they only had the coin. 1t is all
very we'll for people to say "let US have
a man from the State to represent U.s.
but how are we going to get him.
Most Nevadans are we'll enough ac-
quainted with the politics of their own
State TO know that it is "money that
makes the mare co." Then what is the
use Of making such fuss about sim.
porting" man for the position2 Is not
Fair an imported" man, and poor
one at that2 Let the Republicans work
together, select the choice OF the ma
jority and the others stand in if they are
not exactly satisfied. This is the only
way to do the business up brown. Ne
vada is a Republican State, then let the
people elect Republican to Jim Fairs
seat in the Senate yeas from now.

SILvER CURRENCY.

The continued increase in the export
OF silver and the decrease in the export
Of gold, the ready absorption of silver
currency by the people whenever pre-
sented, the steady. improving financial
condition Of the whole country, and, in
fact. the utter refutation Of every claim
and prophecy made by the enemies Of
silver, demand o new line Of argument
or confession that the whole Of their
assertions and premises were altogether
false. Had there been no organized
movement by the strongest financial
power Of the country against the use of
silver currency, it would have been alb.
sorbed without question, had the usu.
al coinage been twice as great as at
present.
Notwithstanding the organized re-
sistance Of, practically, the entire hnan.
cial force Of the nation, aided and
abetted in every way by the officials of
the treasury department, more silver
than gold, in proportion to the amount
coined, is in actual circulation at this
time. We have certainly fallen upon
perilous times, if there are no acknowl-
ed financiers whose judgment can be re.
lied upon, and if this important question,
which affects the interest and prosperity
Of the people and nation, must be large
ly determined by self interest and the
changeful circumstances and demands
Of the present. Our permence and ad =.
yancement depend largely upon the es-
tablishment Of a permanent system,
based upon such a foundation that il
cannot be perverted for the benefit Of a
few. to the injury and probable destruc,

THERE will be some fault with the
Postoffice Department because the re
port for the past fiscal year shows a
deficit of IS, 3SI,S7I. But criticisms
Of such sort are wholly wrong. AS
we'll might it be objected that is large
annual dihcit in the War or Navy De-
partment. The Postofice Department
is not run to make money, but to serve
the public interests. Indirectly it pays
for itself a thousand times over by
means OF this service, precisely as the
other departments give back the PEG
pie the money raised by taxation in the
shape of the benefits of good govern.
ment. The deficit, SO called, in the
Postoftice Department is due mainly to
the reduction in the rate of letter post.
age. This was one the most useful and
judicious acts of legislation which Con-
gress has done of late, and not the
least valuable feature OF it is that by
this means the dangerously large sur
plus revenues OF the country are, to the
extent of the deficit advantageously
expended.
