THE ADVERTISER" VERSUS THE
ADVERTISER"
THE

Our morning contemporary, in re-
viewing Pastor Cruzan's sermon of
Sunday evening, says very properly,
"The careful political student and
man of affairs will generally agree
with the preacher; political tricks
ters, mammon-wor -worshippers, impure
and vicious persons will differ from
him." Now the preachers "cure
for all the radical evils that pertain
to American politics. lies in (1)
Christianity; (2) a high standard
of morals and principles; and (3)
manly men. In this, the "careful
student and man of affairs" agrees
with the preacher, and "political
tricksters, mammon worshippers,
impure and vicious persons differ
from him." The advertiser, how
ever, few sentences farther on,
enunciates the view that "the cure
for all the radical evils that pertain
to oAmerican politics" lies in "the en-
franchisement of women" In this
view, the Advertiser differs radi-
cally from the preacher, and there,
fore, on our contemporaries own
showing, "political tricksters, MANI
mon-worshippers, impure and vici-
Gus persons and the Advertiser all
differ from the preacher.

The balloon corps employed by
General Graham to reconnoitre
Osman Digma's movements repre-
sents force which may hereafter
become formidably effective in mo-
dern warfare, says the New York
Times, although the date of its first
utilization in this way comes almost
within the memory of some men still
living. The earliest appearance of
balloons in war was during the siege
of fortress in northern France by
Austro-Prussian invaders Of 1894,
when an adventurous aeronaut
thoroughly surveyed the Austrian
lines in the teeth of q heavy but
wholly Intellectual fire directed
against him by the enraged enemy.
The balloon communication kept up
with the outside world by Paris
during the German blockade of 1870
is still fresh in public memory.
Poor Colonel Burnaby, one of the
boldest aeronauts of his time, had
daring theories about the possible
use of balloons in war which his own
feats amply justified. This project
of freighting balloon with small
bombs, and dropping them into the
enemy's ranks, has been repeatedly
mooted, but not yet tested by actual
experiment. !

BOSS RULE.

The S. f. Alta has an outcry
against bossism in politics. Bossism
is degrading to the electorate and
fruitful of corruption in the public
service. There is no use in denounc-
ing men who boss constituencies for
their own interests, so long as con-
stituents are addle-headed enough to
submit. The fact is that most men
are easier to be cnslaved by political
demagoguery than they think they
are. Men who would repudiate the
slightest reflection on their independ-
ence are practically the meekest SER
wants of party leaders. Independ-
ence exists only in their imagination.
1t never shows up in their practice.
Their colors are nailed to the mast,
not of their own ship, but the ship
of the party with which they are
associated. Real independence con-
sists in man having mind of his
own, and making his power as a jndi-
cious thinker tell, through the ballot
box, when occasion requires, or i'm
pressing his views upon the repre-
sentatives of the people, instead of
leaving them to follow any course
their own fancies or private interests
may dictate. When every voter will
take the trouble to inform himself
correctly on public affairs, and as
sumo his full share of responsibility
for the way they are administered, a
sound vigorous public opinion will
be the result. But while the bosses
are the creators of public opinion, il
need not be wondered at if they keep
it as free from a condition of healthy
vitality as they possibly can.

NO HOME FOR CRIMINALS.

An enlarged extradition treaty is
proposed to be made between Canada
and the United States, that will pro-
vide for the delivering up, on both
sides, of persons guilty of man
slaughter, counterfeiting, embezzle-
ment of public money, larceny, per-
jury, abduction, child-stealing, kid
mapping, burglary, criminal destruc-
ton of vessel, or mutiny on ship
board. Uncle Sam wants to get
some ex-citizens home again, and
Canada, too, has few old friends
across the line that are very much
wanted by sundry persons very in

MILITARY AND NAVAL NOTES.
(Selectea from tile U. s. Army
and Navy Reaistcr.)

General Valentine Baker has been
followed numerically by Nemesis
until he is now indeed an object Of
pity. His wife and one daughter
recently died of Egyptian fever,
and his one remaining child is a
physical wreck by the action of the
same disease. )
We are informed that Secretary
Chandler officially ordered 1000
pamphlet copies of Assistant Naval
Constructor Francis L. Bowles's
article "Ships of War" contributed
by him to Johnson's Universal Cy-
clopedia. 1t is said to be the most
comprehensive article ever prepared
on that subject.
Among the many interests and
industries in this country which
have recently been benefited by the
warlike state of affuirs in various
parts of the world is the Ames Com
pany, of Chicopee, Mass, which has
received an order for 100000
swords, and the works will be run
to their fullest capacity for some
time.
The British military preparations
are splendid thing for the Chicago
beef and pork packers. The N. X.
Fairbanks Canning Company, of
Chicago, has received from the Bri-
tish government orders for a 1000, 900
pounds of canned beef for the Bri-
tish army, and the Armour Packing
Company has also received orders
from the same source for 5,400, 900
pounds.
"Afghanistan and the Anglo Rus
sian Dispute," by Theo. F. Roden-
bough, brevet brigadier general U.
S. Army, will be published by G. p.
Putnam's Sons, of New York. 1t is
a concise account of Russia's adj
vance in the direction of British
India (based upon the recent official
reports and personal experiences OF
Russian and British officers and ira
vellers); together with description
of the approaches to Afghanistan,
and of the country and its people,
and a statement of the available
military resources of the contesting
powers. 1t contains maps, cor.
rected to date, and illustrations.

THE STATE FAIR.

The first annual exposition OF
the State Board Of Agriculture will
open in Reno on Monday, October
18th. There are many reasons for
believing that it will be an entirely
successful Fair, but to ensure this
the people of the State must aid
and encourage by their presence,
with their exhibits, and through
their money. The Fair is no
longer a local concern. 1t is a
State institution, and while there is
no appropriation for this year or
next, the Directors hope to main
tain it until the State can give 1t
aid. These annual Fairs are OF
material value to agriculture, stock
raising, mining, business and all
industrial pursuits and interests.
They are valuable in advertising
the State abroad, in the knowledge
gained from competitive displays,
in the reunion of the people Of the
several sections and the exchang-
ing of information from one to an
other. A weeks rest and recre'
alton is also of some moment, and
those who enjoy vacation OF re-
lief from business and hard work
should visit the State Fair.

THE PRICE OF VOTES.

People living OUT VI tniS OtdIc
always have very hazy idea OF the
price of Nevada votes. For in
stance, the Washington Post says ::
"There are not more than about
1900 voters in the State, and a
million dollars spent in buying a
majority would make every voter
worth from $3.50 to 5000, which is
about the present valuation. Mack
ay is supposed to be worth oyer
fifty millions. Fairs wealth comes
in pretty close, and it is expected
that competition will be keen and
prices high at the next election for
the State Legislature, which will
elect Fairs successor to the United
States Senate
This causes the Bee (Sacramento)
to remark
"The Post has put the price of
Nevada votes little high. Twenty
dollars is regarded as stiff figure
over there. But the GOODNESS OF
calculating the average price per
capita of the whole voting popula-
ton of the State is something re-
markable. This is severe upon the
fearless and incorruptiDle citizens
of the battle-born State"
The APPEAL is disposed to be-
lieve from what data it has been
able to collect, that the highest
price ever paid for single votes was
in Churchill county, where Fairs
sack-bearers are alleged to have
paid as high as $50. Down in
Washoe county, in the city of Reno,
where all the good people live, it is
also claimed that Lew Drexler who
was managing Fairs fight, showed
the coin out at the rate of $50 and
$40 head.
At Ruby Hill, Eureka county
the voters were herded in single file.
The common class got $40 apiece
and a more hlghly-Aavored crowd
got $40. We are inclined to be-
lieve that such discrimination is I'M
constitutional. The masses of poor
voters who are for sale, will wonder,
perhaps, when they come to figure
close, how million can be spent,
and they only get $40 each. This
is because the political bosses take
the first big grab of five and ten
thousand. the ward politicians get
the next, the SALOON keepers the
next, the newspapers the next Gf
there is any left) and after this the
common herd gets its toll.
The sack-bearers are supposed to
hold on to 80 per cent. and after
each middleman takes his toll, how
can the average voter expect to get
over SO? As the old seaman said
they sift the prize money through
a ladder, and we sailors get what
sticks to the rounds The voter
who sells his vote should get all he
can and make his shame come high.
Between the scallawag who pays
and the one who sells there is no
difference.

WHERE Is THE GOVERNOR .

A few days ago pleuro-pneumonia
was reported in this State and the
APPEAL called upon the Governor
to take some steps to investigate
the matter, and take action atonce.
Up to the present wriuing nothing
has been done. If the Governor
would read up the history Of cattle
diseases in the East, he would real
ize that each weeks delay will cost
the State hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars. The disease can be met

England drinks coarsely and to ex-
cess. England is just about One-third
drunk most Of the time, and about one
third Of England is drunk all the time.
I write thus In exaggeratIon to indicate
just how abandoned to drink England
is, just as David said he swept rivers Of
tears" to give expression to how very
badly he felt. One can put up with the
drinking habits of France and Ger
many, but decency is so outraged that
one can only look upon the customs of
England with little less than disgust.
In the former countries there are no
classes wholly given over to drink and
its brutalities; no classes that spend all
they eau earn, or beg. or steal Oh drink.
But there are just such classes in every
large town of Great Britain.
London, Liverpool and Glasgow are
the chief centers of this wretched life.
The public house and gin palace are the
bane Of the working classes of England
They are, by their very arrangement,
brutalizing in their tendency and effect
These are simply guzzling places, and
this is all they are meant to be. There
is no light thrown upon the picture.
Not one breath Of romance or poetry,
not one sign of sociability or convivial-
ity Is to be found in these hideous
places. You stand up at bar in close,
cramped, dingy little rooms, and pour
down your rum, gin, brandy, whisky or
beer, aud pay your 4 to 6 cents for it.
There you can stand and drink as long
