WHAT DOES III mEAN?

Notice was given by Blair in the Sen.
ate the other day that he would ask q
reconsideration Of the Montana Senate
rial cases at an early day. Blair is q
Republican and voted with his party to
consummate the steal. How be hopes
to undo the wrong at this late day is not
clear. Possibly a fuller knowledge Of
the enormity Of the theft has caused his
conscience to hurt him. But that could
hardly be. No man with a conscience
could have voted for so glazing q steal in
the beginning. The act Of stealing Mon.
tana is without a parallel in the history
Of the country except that furnished by
the robbery Of Mr.. Tilden Of the Presi.
dency in 1876. The profession Of stage
robbing is honorable in comparison with
it. 1t could only be done by a band Of
desperate partisans, blind to their off,
cial oaths and all forms Of law and pre-.
cedent. A roasting of a thousand years
for each Of them in the b~ottomless pits
of hell would not be adequate punish.

crime against free representative govern.

TELLER TALKS.

Teller Of Colorado seems to be about
the only Republican Senator who is
straight out for free coinage. The Jones
bill he declares to be q fraud from begin.
ming to end. 1t stops coinage and to-
tally demonetizes silver. reducing it to .
mere commodity and leaving the coun.
try with the single gold standard.
At the close of Dolph's speech, Teller
criticised il, and said it would not do for
that Senator or any other Senator to say
with JUNCTION that he was for a double
standard for silver, and then favor meas.
ures which were absolutely destructive
of silver as money. He did not propose
that the country should be deceived into
believing that the proposition which
came from the Finance Committee meant
silver at all. On the contrary, il meant
9 single gold standard.
That is it precisely. We have been
pointing out all along that the "a. called
Jones bill absolutely destroyed silver by
reducing it to a commodity pure and
simple. Any mar who votes for it is an
enemy Of silver and the people.

The signs Of the times are that the
people will demand almost an entire
change of State officers. The feeling
prevails that those who have held Office
for years should be retired and given an
opportunity Of trying their hands at
something else.-Reno Gazette.
Your head 10 level. old man. You
may bet your last dollar that "the peo-
pie will demand an entire change this
Fall. They are going to turn the ras-
calls out and put the Democrats in all
along the line. They have had quite
enough Of Republican Encouragement
to do them for q while. The last Re
publican Legislature should be sufficient
to damn the party forever in this State.
II was the weakest and wickedest that
ever assembled in Nevada. Jobbery,
and the plundering of the School Fund,
make up its record. Whenever q Re
publican Legislature gets short of money
it simply puts an 81. o. o." in the
State School Fund and walks off with
the coin. And q Republican Legisla-
ture is always owned body and soul by
the railroad bosses and lobbyists. 1t is
high time that we had . new deal from
top to bottom. If the people act wisely
this Fall they will turn down every Re.
publican candidate that shows his head
for ofice-Federal, State or county. Let
US have Q new deal and q clean sweep.

BEATING TIE GOVERNMENT.

California papers, along the Central
Pacific Division of the Southern Pacific
railroad system, charges that G. p.
Huntington is directing the bulk Of the
through overland freight and passenger
traffic from the Central to the Southern
Pacific route for the purpose Of dimin-
ishiDg the receipts of the former to make
as poor a showing as possible. The ulti.
mate object Of which. it is alleged, is TO
gain further time for paying interest on
the indebtedness of the company to the
Government for subsidies granted for
the construction Of the Central Pacific,
Virginia Chronicle.
Under the provisions Of the Thurman
Act 25 per cent of the net earnings Of
the Central Pacific must be applied on
the great debt due from the road to the
Government. This provision does not
run against the Southern Pacific because
that road received no bonds from the Gov.
eminent. as did the other. The railroad
managers are trying to rob the very
power that gave them their fortunes.
But fools will concur in saying that il il
all right to beat the Government. II
has been popularity supposed that the
people composed this Government.

BLACKS.

Never in the history Of the Silver
State has il occurred that the Office had
to seek the man, but in this year OF
grace 1890, not . gentleman can be
found who really desires a State office
and the position OF Chief Executive
seems TO 70 begging.-Carson Tribune.
DON'T get anxious, Deacon. We don't
wonder that Republican candidates are
scarce. After Stevenson, the deluge.
We can write the name Of the next Gov.
ernor OF Nevada without the slightest
difficulty. he will not be a Republican.
He is q clean Democrat Of ability and
integrity. He has been tried in
positions Of public trust and was
v found wanting. The ~ssgebrush
will take FIRE with enthusiasm when the
convention dominates him. The Repub-
Iicsn party will be in luck if it elects a
Constable in Nevada this Fall. The
Central Pacific railroad has ridden that
party to its death. The people are sick
and weary and will have no more Of it.
Our delegation in Washington going
against free coinage laid the last straw.
The only thing left for the Republican
party in this State to do is to crawl into
the brush and formally die.

Francis G. Newlands is flooding the
mails with copies of the Washington
Post containing an interview with him
on the subject of silver. Newlands is
undoubtedly . candidate for United
States Senator from Nevada. He has
all the ear-marks. including the sack"
Sacramento Bee.
Certainly Newlands wants to be Sena-
tor. That is why he changed both his
residence and his politics. We don't
know about his religion or whether he
has any. (Another renegade from the
Democratic party in Nevada changed his
religion not many years ago because he
thought ID would be popular to do SO.
The transition did not hurt his con-
science at all. He had none to begin
with. He was then, as now, rotten at
hearty But it is universally understood
that a desire for Office is what brought
Newlands to Nevada. He may not see
bis way clear to make the effort this
year, but that is what he is here for. 1t
is likewise what he is advertising his
thin, stale political wares for.

sENsATOR jones' ESSAY.

Senator Jones Of Nevada read an es-
cay in the Senate last week, in which he
presented many Of the old arguments.
and some new ones, for silver. The dis
patches say be had spent three months
in the preparation Of the manuscript. 1t
should have been an able and exhaustive
paper If the Senator bestowed upon it
bis personal attention and great ability
for that length Of time. In the synop-
sic Of the document t~elegraphed TO this
Coast we notice one or two new points
and . very mastery mArshaling Of the
old arguments in new dress. But the
Senator was manifessly placed at 8 dis
advantage by the fact that be had favor
ably reported 3 bill from the Finance
Committee which be could not support.
II 10 not often that q practical legisla-
tor Of wide experience will be caught in
such . role. 1t can only be explained on
the hypothesis that John Sherman and
his Republican goldbug majority on the
committee would allow nothing but 9
cheat and = fraud to escape from the
clutches Of the committee. Senator
Jones will do well to disown the cheat
now that be has brought it into the light
Of day. His essay, when printed in
pamphlet form, as it will be, and distrib.
utsd among the people Of Nevada will
be read with deep interest by all who
shall be favored with q copy.

A SCENE.

Bynum Of Indiana and Bayne Of Penn.
sylvania caused q great rumpus in the
House of Representatives q few days
ago. Bayne had . letter read at the
Clerks desk from one Campbell reflect
ing on Bynum and Wilson Of West vir.
ginia. When Bynum attempted to re.
ply. the Republican Speaker applied the
gag law. This made all of the Demo.
Gratis angry and q general uproar en-.
sued. lasting for an hour or more. Dur.
ing the melee Bynum declared Campbell
"a liar and "a forger." and character
lied Bayne as the "sewer" through
which the ISLANDERS were slushed into
the House. This brought on more fury
and the Republican side of the House
finally voted to censure Bynum for
using supplementary language. By
nun said. considering the circumstances
and the source. he accepted the censure
"as a badge Of honorable distinction"
The scene throughout was most dis
graceful. Nothing approaching II had
been witnessed in years. 1t came about
mainly from the fact that little or no re-
specs is entertained by the opposition
for the Speaker. Mr.. Carlisle could al
ways bring order out Of chaos by merely
tapping on the desk with his pocket
knife. This was because everybody re-
specsed him for his fairness and Impair
tiaiity. He seldom found occasion to
use the gavel.

be drove the nail tqusrely on the head.
Not mech Of bis speech was telsgrsped
10 this Coast. Coke isA Democrat and
the telegraph les Republican machine
owned BY Jay GOuld and used chiefly to
make great men out Of very small Re
publiea1s IN Congress. The people Of
the West should not lose sight Of the
fact that most Of The stuff sent out from
Washington IL designed solely for home
consumption and to help somebody to 8
reelection 10 the end that the Republi-
can gol1bug party shall be kept in .be
ssoendepey in all branches Of the Gov
eminent. Senator Coke made q Of
the very best speeches 50 far delivered
on the silver question. He is truer to
the cause than Senators claiming to rep
resent the sentiment Of the peo-
pie Of the mining States. He took
strong grounds against the bogus bill
reported favorably by our Jones from
John Shsrman's Finance Committee.
Among other things be said:
/ cannot supper. the bill, as reported
from the Finance Committee. 1t dis
eliminates against silver in leaving to
the Secretary Of the Treasury the right
TO determine how much OF the silver
purchased should be coined into money;
and a. the Secretary held that there was
already too much silver coined it was
sure that with that discretion in the
Secretary, not another dollar would be
coined. That provision Of the bill was
neither more nor less than . provision to
convert the Treasury Of the United
States into . warehouse for silver, TO be
held as 8 commodity on which the Gov
eminent should advance money. The
effect Of the bill would be TO repeal the
only law on the statute book requiring
the coinage Of silver dollars. The bill
from the Finance Committee had effect
ually repealed all laws providing for the
compulsory coinage Of . single dollar Of
silver. The whole matter would rest
within the discretion OF the Secretary Of
the Treasury and on his affirmative posi-.
tive action.

Raised AuArnuna.

The Mckinley bill raised the duty
on wool about two cents. The market
responded with a two-cent raise. The
Central Pacific, not to be left, raised
the freight two cents. OF course, the
tariff is not a tax, as the Republicans
tell US. What is it, if it is not? When
the cost of articles Of general use is
raised by operation of law the con-
sumner must be hurt. Mr.. Ford last
Saturday employed a special freight
train OF five cars to catch the G. P. be-
fore the raise went into effect. He
also shipped three cars during the
