NEVADA's DEFENDER.
Tom Fitch COmpels Our Maligners
to WTithe in Misery.

NeI ana NeV~da, comes to the
front in answer to the following
press despatch:
A prominent member OF Con-
gresS announces his intention of
introducing in "a fe" days, reso-
luton Of inquiry based ON the
Calls editorial, as to Nevada s
population and her ability to sup
port Il State GoveInment.-A
Glazed Press Kilograms.
eff the foregoing have any foun-
dalton of fact, if it be ANYTHING
more than wator wallowing in SEN
sationalism by some irresponsible
reporter, the "prominent member
of Congress" referred to-whose
prominence" will not spring from
the iuconspicuousness OF his ears,
will learn in response to his "re-
solution Of inquiry that the peo-
pie OF Nevada have not only been
able to support their own State
Government in comfort and re-
spectability for the last quarter
of a century, but they have con-
tributed largely to the support Of
the Government, and the devel-
opment OF resources of other
States.
A few Of the most important in
stances may be adduced: The
Mackay cable and its connecting
lines, which have afforded to the
people of this country and Europe
cheaper and better telegraphic
facilities, were constructed with
money dug out Of Nevada mines
by a Nevada citizen, whose wife
has lessened the sum of human
misery in Europe and America by
her frequent and transformations
charities, and eleveted the esti-
mate of American culture abroad
by her gracious hospitalitics. The
largest and most costly Office
building in New York or indeed in
the world was erected by d. o.
Mills with funds derived from Ne
vada enterprises, and he is about
to construct its duplicate in San
Francisco. The Palace, the Bald
win, the Grand Opera House, the
new California Theatre, with blocks
of stores AID warehouses, and
scores OF costly private residences
in San Francisco, were constructed
with money obtained in Nevada.
The Port Costa warehouse and
docks, the great ne spaper, the
Examiner, and many vineyards, or
chards, stock ranches and wheat
fields in California were developed
with Nevada money. The mills
and furnaces and factories and
foundries of the Golden Gate, en-
ploying thousands Of men, have
been sustained and in many in
stances created by Nevadans
whose contributions lave also
added largely to he parks and Ii
braries and charitable institutions.
1t Is safe to assert that California
gathers annually into her treas
urles from taxes upon citizens of
Nevada, or by those who have
derived their capital from Nevada
five times as much revenue as is
now collected by the State and
all the counties in this State. Ne
vada resembles the elder duck
who pluclls the down from it's
own breast to make warm the
nest of its brood, and she has
plucked her own breast very bare.
OF the $600,000,00O which her
mines have yielded since, at the
earnest solicitation of California
and the Eastern States, Nevada
took upon herself the blessings
and burdens of Statehood, not 5
per cent remains within her
borders.
That narrow minded and unin-
formed people of the East should
deride Nevada for her failure to
grow might have been expected
and such comments as have been
recently made are probably only a
