An Enterprising American.

CHICAGO, April lS.-A Chicago Daily
Netcs Washington special says: A very
pretty little story, which promises to de-
velop into an interesting trial, comes to
Washington from Alaska. 1t is to the eff
feet that about three years ago a man
named Mcpherson sailed from San Fran.
cisco and landed on one of the Aleutian
islands, off the coast OF Alaska Mr..
McPherson's entire outfit consisted
OF a suit OF clothes, an Ameri-
can flag and cheek enough for a regiment,
together with II paper %purporting to have
been signed by Attorney General Gar
land, appointing him United States COM
missioner. As soon az he landed on the
island he raised the American flag with a
great deal of ceremony and took COM
mand of 600 natives and compelled them
TO call him king" Mcpherson. Each
season he exacted a heavy tribute from
the natives, and altogether he seems to
have had a lovely time. Things went
along very smoothly until a few months
ago, when, the report is he had some
difficulty with three of his subjects, and
fearing there might be ~inutiny he hanged
three of the rebellious ones. A report of
McPherson's rule reached the treasury
department and a special agent was sent
to his island to investigate the matter.
This agent recently reported the facts to
Secretary Window as they are given
above. Now it is said a revenve cutter
would be sent to the island for the pur-
pose of arresting Mcpherson. 1t is the
intention of the authorities to bring him
to San Francisco and try him for murder.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1889-11-20

Old Dom Pedro was very kind TO
his subjects. He took great inter
est in the progress of Brazil and
emancipated the slaves. His I'M
grateful subjects turned about and
kicked him of the throne. Had
he acted like the Gar of Russia
instead OF initiating Abraham Lin
coin he would still be Emperor,
and everywhere bis carriage rolled
his subjects would have beaten the
ground with their f0reheads and
shouted .'Leng live the Emperor.

The APPEAL has received q
marked copy of the Free Lance, a
Journal published in Reno. After a
careful psrusal of the paper We are
unable to state whether it is for us
or forninst US. In sne column the
APPEAL is conplimented for its re-
liability, and in another taken to
task for being the champion mis-
rspressntationist of the West. The
conflict Of opinions in the paper
shows the sad lack of some guiding
hand some regular managing edit
or to revise the copy. When a pa
per has 50 large q staff OF editors az
the Free Lance, these peculiarities
are bound to crop out.

THE sPEAKERSHIP.

A Washington dispatch in dis
cussing the Speakership fight, says
Reeds great strength lies in the
fact that he has been the Repub.
lican candidates for the Speaker
ship in The last three Congresses,
when the nomination was simply
an honorary affair. Now that the
nomination means an election,
there are many of the older MEM
bers who think that Reed is en-
titled to the votes of his colleagues
and who also consider themselves
as in honor bound to cast their bal
lots for him.
On the other hand, Mr.. Reeds
record on the river and harbor bills
and more especially the report that
he favors the complete semonetiza-
tios of silver, are being used against
him with telling effect.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1889-11-20

From present appearances the
silver question is going to be the
leading question before the coming
Congress. There need be ne doubt
as to the position OF California and
the Pacific Coast on that subject.
We are all blimetalists, saving and
expecting the cIanks and bond
holders, and a populate vote would
show ten to enc at least in favor Of
the dual currency Post.

MORNING APPEAL.
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 20
THE REASON WHY.

Why can't Nevada have an in
surance company Of its own-a
home company-with Nevada capi-
tai and Nevada men to manage the
business? Such q company ought
to be able to transact a large and
profitable business and keep lot
of money at home.-Journal.
1t can't for the simple reason
that the majority OF people of this
State have registered a vow that
they will never patronize anything
which is located in Nevada. A
real home insurance company
would never thrive because the
people would figure out that if it
succeeded, some Nevada investors
would get rich and the majority of
those Who live here hate to see
neighbo-s prosper.
This seems rough thing to be
obliged to admit, but we do not be-
lieve that a single paper in the
State will DENY our statement.
When this petty feeling is rooted
out OF the State it will begin to
prosper.

about 10 miles long and run through The very
finest and most fertile section of Louisiana.
In addition to the staple products, cotton, gu.
gar, rice, salt, cattle, etc, the Western con-
necticu afnrGed by the Fort Scott road would
open Il market for tins thousands of acres of
hne timber in St. Landry and ST. Martin par
ishes, and the traffic ia the single item of lum-
ber alone would be immense.

Our people are certainly the best uatured in

would have forced this merciless monopoly to
do justice when its sense of Justice is both
dormant and latent. Ii the people of Terre-
bonnie, Lafourche, Assumption and st. Mary

willing to accommodate the public.
