A correspondent writing to the Omaha
Retn5Hcan, asks what the difference be-
tween a Democrat and Republican 49,
and receives the following answer
"Maud" writes US today, after a
long interval of silence, and wants to
know what is the difference between
Republican and Democrat. The ma
,ure and profundity Of "Maud's" en-
quiry leads us to believe thar she has
been using the silence which has reign
ed since we last heard from her in
thinking out some conundrum which
would need large aggregation ofln-
tellect to answer it. Perhaps, conclsely
put, the Democrat is the man who Is
sin" at present-though, collectively
speaking, not SO much in as he would
like to be-anI the Republican is the
man who is "out," or who is going to
be out just as soon as the civil service
rules can be twisted TO cover his case.
The campaing orator, having that point
ed question asked him, would say: "a
Democrat is a-ah-um-er-a man
who-ah-um-" at this point, if he
were addressing an audience, his voice
would be drowned in the approving
cheers Of his constituency for suth-
cient period to give himltime to enyolye
his description OF Republican, which
would be 10 the effect that "a Repub-
lican is ah-er-um-ah-am man who
All" At this point his audience
would again be carried away by the
point and force Of his description and
burst into torrent of applause, during
which the orator would conclude his
speech in a voice inaudible 70 anyone,
and be congratulated on the greatest
effort of his life. The man who be-
lieves that the history of his country is
divided into two periods, the period be-
fore and the period offer the war, would
refer you to that sanguinary struggle
and inform you that the Democrats
were one side in that struggle and the
Republicans on the other, and that the
Republicans came out with both feet on
top. He will tell you that that is the
difference between Republican and
Democrat, and your wonder will, Of
course, be aliayed. He will speak Of
that event as happening in ancient
times-America travels so fast that any
event becomes ancient in twenty years
and the mists OF tradition will have
gathered so thickly about it that he will
not be able TO be more explicit. Any
one of these analysis will perhaps leave
your intellect in about a seven eighth
condition Of bewilderment, with the
other eighth on the fence. In this
respect you will resemble every other
person who has applied for information
on that subject. There is difference
between Republican and Democrat,
broad and deep chasm of difference,
which may perhaps by partially esti-
mated by instituting comparison be
tween Jas. O.. Blaine and Jeff Davis.
The suggestions of this comparison you
must regard as an answer TO your con.
undrum. We know something Of the
fibre of your intellect, and we believe
it is equal to the institution OF this COM
parison and to extracting from it the
proper logical deductions. As an as
sistant to an arrival at proper conclu-
sion on your part, we refer you, casual
ly, to the present revival Of Democratic
ideas in the South.

--ADvIcEs from Belleville state that
owing 10 a scarcity Of water the mills OF
the Holmes Company are running on
half time only. Ten stamps of one
mill are crushing Holmes ore and ten
stamps OF the other are at work on
Mount Diablo ore. The Holmes mine
is looking splendidly, with recent i'm
provement on the first shaft level and
on the old ninth level.

FOR STATE PRINTER.

The names OF several persons have
been mentioned for State Printer. 1t is
our opinion that the present incumbent
cannot be improved upon. Mr.. Har
low has performed the duties of his Of
fee for the past four years in manner
satisfactory to all. No better compli'
ment could be paid him than for the
Republicans 10 again elect him to the
office.

Now that the time has been fixed
for the State Convention, it would be a
good idea for those who wish to be
delegates to come forward and an
nounce themselves. Good men are
wanted. There should be but one
tickle, in the field. Seven men are to
be selected and it would be we'll for all
TO agree TO stand together. Let there
be no split on this question.

FAIRS APACHE SCAEME.

Jim Fairs scheme to remove the
Apaches to an island has raised a gen,
eral laugh all over the country. The
Stockton Mail, a Journal which evident
ly knows something Of Fair, says of it:
"The scheme is altogether more pic.
turesque than sensible, and is just such
one as might have been expected to
have been suggested by the most incur,
able ignoramus and consumate ass to
be found in either branch Of the Nation
al Legislature.

-NAsT's last cartoon in Haypsr'S
Heekly is fine illustration Of the la.
Dor proposition. 1t represents an honest,
hard working man returning from his
days labor and carrying on his back,
Herr Most. the dynamite Fiend and
Socialist. In Most's hand is banner,
advocating strikes and riots. 1t is a
very GRAPHICAL illustration of how the
honest toiler is being made to suffer for
the benefit OF pack Of foreign an.
arehists who are bent on ruling this
country or running it.

HOW Now!

The Reno Journal makes note OF our
finding fault with it for publishing SO
many clippings that speak fagorably OF
the Democratic administration. Mr..
Powning SAYS that he believes Cleve-
land is making good President, and is
willing to give him credit for it. Also
that whatever Mr.. Fair does that de-
serves mention he shall have it. Our
ideas about running Republican pa
Der differ a little from those Of the
Journal, but we are always ready to
give the devil his due. Mr.. Fair has
done nothing for Nevada. and the tele-
grams that appear in the papers all
come from his own pen, or he has them
written up to suit him and pays for it.
As for Mr.. Cleveland he may be doing
we'll enough for few Of his friends in
the East, but he has entirely overlooked
and cast aside the interests Of the peo-
ple Of this Coast. He is laboring
against the silver question and is also
great admirer of the heather Chinee.
These two questions are Of vital i'm
portance to our people and we believe
that every Republican paper should
drop men who are not willing to stand
in on these Two questions. Mr.. Pownlng
is a Republican and we believe that ii
Jim Fair wants his great acts of States
manship set before the people, he should
have it done by papers of his own party.
The Journal speaks as follows: "At
the proper time this paper will endeavor
10 prevent his reelection and to secure
a Republican Legislature, and il the
TINES will take the same stand the
Journal will gladly cooperate with
it," The TINES will certainly stand in
for the election Of Republicans all the
time; for home Republicans as long as
they have any chance TO win, but for
any Republican in preference to a
Democrat. Our idea of campaign is
to have no splits in the party, let them
all stand together. 1t will be hard
fight this Fall to keep Democrats from
winning, and the only way it can be
done is to select the strongest men fo'
the positions and then work hand in
hand for their success. Mr.. Powning is
a candidate for the United States SEN
ate. If in any way ii can be shown
that he is the strongest man, the TINES
would be one of the first papers in the
State to advocate his cause. Mr.. Dag
gett now claims that he is the appointed
one to fill the position, while ex'Sena'
tor Stewart, so far, has shown more
strength than either Of the above men
toned aspirants. We are in for the man
who is most likely TO beat the present
incumbent, Mr.. Powning, and If it be
you, you shall have our hearty support.

THE SHE, State thinks Mr.. H. S.
Mason wodld be a good man for the
Democrats to nominate for Congress.
There is no doubt he would be good
man for the place, but we think his
Republcanism would not allow him 10
be placed in nomination by any but his
own party.

The TINES believes that the time
between the oath Of September and the
day Of election is too short to allow oil
a thorough canvass. Why would it
not have been just as well to have had
the Convention earlier2 Say the 9th
or 10th.
