THE IMPRISONED AsARonIsrA
A Writ of Error Granted Thsu by ths
State Supreme Court.

SPRiSoyizLp, H., Feb. 7--The state
supreme court has granted writ OF srros
to the United States supreme court In
the cases Of Nscbe. Fielding and schwab
anarchists now in the state penitcnt tiary,
on the claim that the prisoners were
deprived Of their constitutional right BY
not being permitted to 10 present when
tho court passed sentence upon them.
This Is point that has not heretofore
been decided by the federal supreme
court, and ifsu-iained will not only re-
lease these anarchists, but will in effect
say that Spies, Parsons and the others
hanged were illegally strangled, and
will liberate many In the penitentinry.
Leading lawyers are OF the opinion
that this move can be OF no benefit to
the Imprisoned anarchists in any case.
and may M. e I, worse for them. There
Is no claim OF error in the lower court,
and, II the point 10 sustained by the
federal supreme court II will result in
sending the anarchists before tho state
supreme court for Affirmation OF the
original sentence. This was that they
be hanged and they would have TO
suffer that penalty unless the governor
should again interfere, As did tho former
governor, and commute the sentence to
imprisonment.
States Attorney Longenecker said,
'rht re Is not In my mind the slightesi
probability Of the United States supreme
court finding that tho state suprems
court erred. The whole thing is the
most ridiculous move ! ever heard Of"

THE GRAND PACIFIC SOLD.
Chiesgo's Best Hotel Sold to Levi q.
Letter for $40, 900.

CHICAGO, Feb. s-The Grand Pacific
hotel. one Of the finest and best known
hotels in America, was sold to Levi z.
Letter, and will be torn down. A curious
feature is that the great hotel Is at its
prime and with amble patronage.
Tho location Of the new board OF trade
and the many great office buildings that
hsve been erected In the vicinity during
the past few years. however. has caused
an enormous rise in the value OF real es-
tate, and the demand tor office buildings
is so constantly increasing that IL rem
dered the operation OF the hotel compar-
atively productive.
After much discussion the arbitrator
and appraisers appointed have given
the building and leasehold OF the
ground to Letter for SO, 100, and he will
put up business block.
The low price appears very curious
when II is con sidered thst the hotel cost
over $4,000, and the land Is among the
most valuable in the city.

They Ask too Much.

A circular letter sent us by the
Reno Board of Trade, asks Us to favor
ably report the proceedings of their
meetings. When this institution first
organized the News expressed the
opinion that we believed it to be a
Reno kite with political aims, asking
the rest of the State to attach itself
as tail for its ascension. This the
Board stoutly denied and hitched on
to their membership a few outside
Democrats to make things look plaus-
ible. But the time has come for them
to throw of their mask and stand in
the light we first saw them: Reno,
Francis G.. Newlands and his sattel-
ties, are the Board of Trade, and we
cut loose from the caudal appendage.
We are not by any means the self
sacrificing individual this Reno clique
of philanthropists" take us for.
The little property we land many of
our friends) have acquired by years
of toll, they would utterly destroy
to suit their wishes, and, with brazen
effrontery, ask us to applaud the de-
spoilation of our home and business.
We know those Reno gentlemen are
not forgetting their own interests
while engaged in the .sNew Develp-
ment," and see no reason why we
should.
When the people of White Pine
county, or the taxpayes thereof, ex-
press in the proper manner, a will
ingness to surrender their county
government, the News will cheer
fully acquiesce in their decision, no
matter what the personal sacrifice
may be. But we don't propose to &C
cept the "New Development Reno
Newlands creed yet awhile as our
standard of faith.
