A POINTLESS ARGUMENT.

G. H. Sproule, editor of the Free
Press and Senator from Elko county,
seems to think that because his paper
tie Free Press, was as dumb as an
oyster GU the lottery question during all
the excitement, and because he voted
with tho majority in the Legislature
he must be right; he also seems to be
laaoring under the impression that all
the opposition to his course emanated
from the INDEPENDENT Office. We de-
sire to disa5use the mind of Senator
Sproulc OF this impression, aud inform
him that when lie returns to his consti-
tCents in Elko he will find that this
paper voiced the sentiment Of large
majority of the best friends he ever had
III Elko county. A glance at the vote
cast here Oh the 18th instant is suffi-
cient to show how his course is Endorsed
by the people. With vote of 1913
against, and 10 for the lottery in his
own town, and vote of SOL agninst,
and IT'S for the scheme in the county
which he claims to represent, we would
naturally conclude that the Senator
would begin to open his eyes tc the fact
thnt his vote, notwithsta nding it was
with tho majority, in the Legislature
is not indorsed by his constituents. und
hence is not conclusive evidence that he
took the right course as q representative
OF Elko county.

a Journal for the Farmers.

The Western Rural, published
by Milton George, q practical Wes-
tern farmer, is the largest farm,
family and reform journal publish
ed in the United States. 1t has
profeiently edited departments for
every branch of farming, and is a
faithful record of every step of pro-
gress that is being made in agri-
culture. 1t INDUCES in no theories,
but deals only in plain, practical
facts and methods that will aid the
farmer in making the farm more
profitable. A large part of It's
matter is composed of practical
questions asked by farmers and
answered by practical men. 1t
answers all questions and pre-
soribes for sick aDimals, free of
charge. 1t exposes all swindlers
who seek to prey upon the farming
community, and admits to its adj
vertising columns none but relia-
bic advertisements. For thirteen
years it hes been an unfinching
champion of the farmer in his con-
fiict with rings and monopolies
that have been robbing him. It
started the, Farmers Alliance and
is the friend Of all organizations
THAT ist ss- co4411lss...4--
ty. 1t was the first journal to sgi-
tate the question of government
supervision of railroads and the
first to demand Legislation to pro-
tect the dairy from the unscrupu-
lous bogus butter manufacturers.
In a word, it is a paper for the
farmer, hi; wife and children, for
the man who believes in justice
between class and class and for all
who believe that q pure, practical
farm literature and advocate of
farmers right should be encour-
aged. Write Milton George, odi-
tor and Publisher, Chicago, Ill,

The lawyers are making it lively
for the law in New York. The use
of electricity in the infiction of
the death penalty was passed
June, 1888, and the law provides
that criminals convicted OF mu,-
der shall be executed by the new
method on and after January l,
1889. 1t also expressly provides
that no criminal whose crime was
committed prior to January 1
shall be executed by electricity.
Since the passage of the new law
criminals have been sentenced to
death and their lawyers now claim
that such men cannot be hanged
for hanging was abolished before
they were condemned, and that
they cannot be electrified, for the
new lev says no man whose crime
antedates January l shall be put
to death by the new mode. The
courts will have to pass ON these
cases, and tie murderers gain a
few months Of life.

The farmers Of Dakota have
been utilizing the fine November
and December weather which pre-
vailed in preparing their fields and
seeding them with wheat. Their
teams and men were idle, and the
experiment is tried in the expec-
tation that they will reap as good
or better harvest, and save time
from the harry of the spring seed
ing. The results of the expert
ment viii be awaited with great
interest, as it is the first time it
has been tried on an extensive
scale.
