lions in the following pertinent re-
marks:
ave must confess that We arc n lit
tie bi, skeptical about the sincerity Of
the Republican party in their desire
for the Australian ballot system, rs
expressed in n plank in their platform
adopted at the late State Convention
at Virginia City. Such a measure
would go far towards removing the
sack from politics, and make it pos
sible for n poor mar OF brains to cope
with the millionaire for n seat i'm the
United States Senate, and, MS the sack

SATISFIED.

1t appears that Leland Stanford is
satisfied with the Mckinley bill all
tho same as Jay Gould. An Eastern
dispatch says:
In an interview with Senator Leland
Stanford, who has just returned from
IL brief trip to Edrope, he said to an
interviewer: II am satisfied tho Nc
Itinley bill is tho best possible express
sion OF the protective policy to which
] take it this county owes its great
est growth in wealth."
Stanford isa fifty or sixty-ply mil
llonmro and why shouldn't no be
satiiied with a policy under which his
enormous wealth has been acquired?
Jay Gould is satisfied with il, and all
miliionaircs arc satisfied with it.
Why not? 1t was made for thcm. 10
the protective policy they W their
untold millions, a policy which heaps
up wealth for them in winrows.
When Stanford says: "This country
owes to the protective policy its great
est growth OF wealth" what does no
mean? He means the country s
growth in millionaires. awe are the
country" they say. "!See how we,
the country, have tiourished under
the protective policy, and we are
satisfied the Mckinley bill is the hest
possible expression OF tho protective
policy."--tVirginia Chronicle.
The result of last Tuesdays cleo
lions shows that tho people aro not
satisfied with the Mckinley bill, how
ever much tho millionaires r~cioice
over it. The result also proves that
tho interests OF the laborers OF tho
country arc not identical with those
nf tho millionaire. 1t proves more
over that the people have somo rights.

We found our olive oil bottles opened
and the contents spilled around the cell

caught on to how it was done. It was q
picnic for the rats. They would go over
to the grocery store across tho street,
fill upon cheese. and when they felt
the need Of a laxative come into our
cellar and take \ dose OF oil. One Of
them even moved tho lid of a big box
containing bottles Of oil packed in
straw and had = bottle half open when We
discovered him. Astone weighing about
ten pounds had been placed on the lid
Of h box, but he managed To get it out
Of the way. You will notice these bot
ties were originally bound with husk,
and tho cork securely tied down and
then covered with bladder. The rats
first gnaw of the bladder cap and then
work on the cork until II Is about q
quarter Of Al inch thick. Then begins
tho mysterious work Of forcing them in

coed to enjoy the contents"
The stom went down cellar with
