A QUESTION.

The last Legislature passed q Law
defining what shall constitute an
actual residence in Nevada within the
meaning Of Article IL OF the Consti-
tuition. The first section roads as
follows:
"The legal residences OF a person,
with reference to his right of suffrage
and eligibility to Office, is that place
where his habiEation. is fixed and per-
manent, and to which, whenever. he
isaGsent, he has the intention OF re-
turning" -.s... s...,.-
Section reads: "It a person. re-
moves to another State, or Territory,
or foreign country, with the intention
Of establishing his domioile there,
and making it his home, he shall lose
his residence in this State" .'
Section S puts the burden of proof
ON the individual.
Section says: "If a person re-
moves to another State, Territory or
foreign. country, with the, 10 tention of
remaining there for an indefinite
time, and as a place of present resi-
dence, he shall lose his residence in
this State, notwithstanding that he
may entertain the intention Of return
ing at some uncertain future period;
and an occasional return, either for
business purposes Or pleasure, to the
place OF his former abode in this
State shall not be sufficient TO pre-
serve his residence therein"
Now, without seeming lmpertinent
or showing disposition to meddle in
The affairs Of the men who run the
politics Of this common wealth, we
should like to inquire how, under
that law, the Hon. John p. Jones oan
be legally elected TO the U. s. Senate
from this State at the coming session
Ufthe Legislature? Mr.. Jones and
ms family. when on the. coast, have
lived at Sonta Monica, CAL, for the
past ten years, and he does not pay a
dollar tax in Nevada. Every private
hct OF his shows that he has aban-
doned this State for all except politI-
cal purposes, and has fitted up an
elegant home in California. He has
not been 10 this State sixty days in
the last twelve years, all put together,
but spends all OF his time, when not
actually sitting as a United States
Senator, in New York and California.
-[Reno Gazette.
Why, bless your innocent soul, that
law was passed for the purpose of de-
timing the residence aid rights of
democrats, and does not apply to a
Republican candidate for the United
States Senate. The Constitution
and the laws of Nevada do not consti.
lntet even, stumbling block when
found in the pathway of Republi-
ian office seeker. ......

So, l22 o..

Secretary Window will submit his
silver measure to congress tins week
it is said. His plan to issue notes on
silver bullion has received approval
of the president and will now have
to run the gauntlet OF congress. Ii l.
hard to tell what will he its fate there.
Naturally. silver men would prefer
free coinage measure, but ii this can
not be secured they will take the next
best thing. At least they should not
ieopardize the silver interests. The
secretary OF the treasury must plan
for the whole country, not for any
one interest or section alone. II he
shows Il disposition to treat the west
fairly he should be met half way. Ii
will undoubtedly advance the price OF
silver at once. The bill reads that
any owner OF silver bullion. product
OF the mines OF the United States, or
OF ores smelted or refined in the
United States, may deposit the same
" VI ~ tiiN t-7".
Office in the United States that the
secretary OF the treasury may desig-
nate and receive therefor treasury
notes hereinafter provided for the
equal at date OF deposit OF the net
value OF such silver at market price. y
This would seem to provide a ready
market for bullion, and he preferable
to the present restricted coinage.
In the price paid the secretary will lie
governed by the price current i'll the
leading silver markets OF the world.
When this bill gets properly before
congress its merits and dement's will
be shown up. The chief objection now
is that too much power Is vested in
the secretary OF the treasury; that he
could, if disposed, enter into stock
iobbing schemes with Wall street
brokers, using the United States
treasury for his backing. The fate OF
the hill will he watched with consider
able interest.

They say Braden had annoyed her with his

II il claiwed that he was forbidden en-
transe To the llersliiield residence and that
he sought on every occasion to intrude his
presence. though he had repeatedly been
told to keep away. The llershlields say
that his attentions were received with no
more favor by the young lady than by the

Incident, as he calls il, though his friends
claim that his story of the causes that led
up to the affair is radically different from
that Of the IIcrshicl,ls.

The intention was to take the Ems

the German Lloyd people have not
been running "A sunday boat for three
weeks. Failing in this Miss Bisland
made an effort to catch the Cham
payne at Havre. She arrived so late
at Brindisi Thursday that it was inn
possible by regular train service for
her to reach Havre 10y that morn
Ing when the French ship sailed.
Cooks people tried to get the com
pany to delay the ship, but they
refused unless 80. 900 was paid. In
travelling from Brindisi Miss Bisland
had the advantage of the fast India
mail and express, which was the same
that Miss bly, used in going from
Calais to Brindisi. Miss Bisland
arrived in London on the same train
with DIR. Talmase. She had just two
hours to spare to catch this Irish
mail for Queenstown. there to connect
with the Bothnia. This was the only
thing she could do without waiting
for Wednesdays steamer. Unless the
Bothnia beats her previous record,
she will not arrive in New York before
the 23th.

The winter has so lar spent it's force
as to insure immunity from any dis
aster to our stock interests. The
reports from every section are oil the
most encouraging character. Except
for period early in the winter, grass
and water have been equally access
ible to stock, making the situation all
that could be expected when the unfa-
vorable summer is considered. Had
the winter been extremely cold, with
a heavy fall OF snow on the ranges,
the new state would have received
severe set back. Ii looks now as
though every interest was entering
upon a year of prosperity. Wool
growers are elated over the past and
serene as regards the future. They
have strong friends in congress, Their
bands have wintered well, their hay
stacks are untouched, and disease is
unknown. Horses have wintered well,
so far, as they always do in this
natchless region. The outlook could
hardly be improved.

A late circular from Justice, Bate
man 4 Co., Philadelphia, says: Ter
ritorial woods have been quiet; the
quality most active has been the
extremely fine Nevada, suitable for
white goods. The bulk OF the Terri
tOrial woods unsOld are those which
are exceedingly dusty as well as weak
in fibre; this applies particularly to
the Montana woods which are unsold
because OF their inferiority in condi-
ton as compared with former years"
A mild winter, with little snow, fol-
lowed by a very dry, hot summer, was
what brought about these unfavorable
conditions. The cause was climatic,
and something wool growers were I'M
able to guard against. With a late
fall of snow and the usual spring rains
upon the ranges, the coming season
will restore Montana woods to first
place among the products OF the far
west.
