DEATH OF sENATOn BECK.

Senator James B. Beck Of Kentucky
fell dead from heart disease in Wash
ington last Saturday. In his death the
country loses one of its greatest states.
men. He was Of pure character and
unimpeachable integrity. He was the
typical great commoner, both in dress
and manner, and plain and blunt Of
speech. In the latter years he has tow
cred above all the rest in the United
States Senate in point of ability. Sena-
tor Beck was born in Dumfrieshire,
Scotland, Feb. Is, 1922; emigrated to
this country when l6 years of age; grad.
uated at Transylvania University, Lex
ington. KY, in 1916. He followed the
practice of the law until 1867, when he was
elected to the Fortieth Congress. and sue.
sessively reelected up to the date of be.
coming a Senator Of the United States in
1877. He was serving his third term as
Senator, having been elected the last time
in 1888. The dead Senator was the most
powerful champion of silver, and the
free coinage thereof, in this country.
His death ct this time is . national mis-.
fortune. All through the West, espe.
cially. q feeling Of sadness will possess
the hearts of the people for the loss Of
the great, honest Beck. His successor,
in all probability, will be ex.Speaker
John G.. Carlisle, who is also one oil the
ablest. if not TIL ablest, man in public
life. Mr.. Carlisle has always been q
friend Of silver.

In the House Of Representatives the
other day . motion was made to strike
from one Of the appropriation bills the
clause which provided for the mainte-
nance Of the Board Of Civil Service
Commissioners. The motion led to con-
siderable debate, but the clause was left
in. In the course Of the discussion Mr..
Henderson, Of Iowa, said:
Civil service reform has come to stay,
and the political party that deserted u
would not stay in power, and ought not
II was not true that this administration
had not enforced the law. Benjamin
Harrison, with q courage that never
yielded in any battle, had enforced the
law. and was enforcing u, land that's
what's the matter with the boys"
We don't know what the Administra-
ton has been doing in other States, but
il has certainly paid bat little attention
to the law in Nevada. The full scope
of Civil Service reform means that
merit and not politics shall determine
the retention of men in certain grades
of the public service; and ii is also sup
posed to include an observance OF the
Tenure Of Office Act. The present Ad-
ministration has ignored both features OF
the policy in this State. As a matter oil
fact the old spoils system has practically
been re-established out this way. We
havn't many Federal places in Nevada.
but the Republicans have displayed the
most remarkable haste in getting these.
Mr.. Sam Wright. when appointed to the
Superintendency Of the Carson Mint,
made q clean sweep of all the old en-
ployes. Under the Cleveland Admins
tration nearly one.half Of the MINIS
force were Republicans. Il is also true
that President Cleveland turned no sin
gle Republican out in this State until
his term had expired. The Harrison
Administration, on the other hand, has
shown the smallest possible degree OF
respect for this feature of the law. Bill
Gibson held the Pyramid Indian reserva'
ton for more than three years and a
half under Cleveland. He was succeed
ed by S. S. Sears, who is "fred in q
little over one year of Harrison. Post
master Hagerman OF Reno and Surveyor
General Irish were both bounced be-
fore their terms were up. There are
perhaps other cases Of removal which
have not come to our notice. We are
not arguing that any Administration
should keep members Of the opposite
party in office; that is not the question
under consideration at all; but we are
contending that the present Administra-
ton is hypocritical to a degree when il
asserts that it has sincerely promoted oil
observed the cause of Civil Service re-
form. As in everything else, its record
on this subject falls far behind thai
Of President Cleveland.

MONEY ENoUGH, SAYS WINDOW.

Harrison's Wall street apologist has
been writing another screed on finance
in whiah he contends that there is money
enough among the people to transact the
business Of the country. He estimates
that there is 500 per head, and claims
that this is a larger circulation per cap
ita than is possessed by any other coun-
try, except France. The calculation
might be all we'll enough if our money
were all in circulation among the peo-
pie and somewhat equally distributed.
But such not being the case. the esti-
mate is wholly misleading. Every bank
in the land must hold in its vaults from
Is to 25 per cent Of its capital and de-
posits if it would conduct a safe bank
ing business. This, coupled with the several
reserve funds in the United States Treas
ury and the idle amounts always on
hand in the Minis and Sub-Treasuries Of
the Government, will reduce the sum in
actual circulation to less than $40 per
capita. Nor is this all. The moneyed
wealth of the land is very largely concen.
trated in the hands of the few. There
are millions of people who have not the
s22 while there are q few who have
millions at their command. II there
were not so many Vanderbilts, and As.
tors, and Mortons, and Huntingtons,
and Stanfords the situation might be
different. Il is, indeed, doubtful if
every editor in the land has reached
such q stage Of afiuence as to be able to
command $50 at q moments notice. And
how about the agriculturalists and toilers
of the country who almost invariably have
three.ply mortgages on their possessions,
where they have anything at all to mort.
gage. II is the object Of this latest Ad-
ministration illumination to make it ap.
pear that we have an abundance oil
money and that there is no necessity for
adding to it by an increase of silver
coinage. OF course the whole statement
is false from beginning to end. Money
is scarce, times depressed and the great
majority Of people poor in all sections Of
the Union. Mr.. Window and his politi-
and goldbug associates can go on
thinking if they will that there is moth.
ing the matter with the volume Of the
peoples money in this country. but as
sure as there are elections in the future
there will come a day Of reckoning and
they will be made to hear something
drop with a dull and s~ickening thud."

THE HOPELESS FARMER.

A majority OF the farmers OF the
United States are in q bad fix. Repub-
lican protection and Republican demone.
t~ization Of silver has about destroyed
them. This country used to enjoy a
balance Of trade in its favor OF from
sixty to eighty millions of dollars an
nually. This was when the American
farmers breadstuffs went abroad and
brought back in exchange foreign gold.
Then the farmer was prosperous and
happy, for business was solvent and good
among all classes. The destruction Of
silver enabled Great Britain to draw her
wheat supply from India and we have
all suffered because there has been less
money amoug the people. The farmer
has also been handicapped by the high
and unequal tariff. This has not been 80
bad on him as the characterization Of sill
yer, but it has contributed no little to
his present misfortunes. When an
American manufactured mower or
reaper or rake is sold just across the line
in Mexico or Canada for a third less
than he has to pay for il there must be
discrimination, if not rottenness, in
Denmark. As a consequence Of all
these things the farms Of the country
are m~ortgaged for hundreds Of millions
of dollars, and the great trouble is that
they can never be rescued from debt.
They are ~mortgaged for 10 and IL per
cent, while according to the most relia-
BILE figures agriculture never pays more
that 4 20 5 per annum. There is
every prospect that the farmers Of the
West will in time become mere tenants,
not to say poems. of the m~ortgaged hold
ers of New York. And still there are
owlish knaves sitting in the halls of
Congress at Washington who style them.
selves statesmen. The Farmers Alliance,
now two million five hundred thousand
strong, ought to get up on its hind legs
and see that we have new policies and q
new deal in this country.

ms coUasr THEY ARE.

That the majority is anxious to please
Wall streek l. evidenced by the cum
niuQly devised bills that have been pre-
pared and the specious arguments with
which they have been supported, but
the silver men we're caught with the DIS
c~retiouary clause in the present silver
coinage bill and do not propose to fali
into the trap again.
The above is the criticism OF the
Butte (Montana) Journal on the JOINT
Republican caucus silver bill. The
Journal is right in concluding that q
majority Of the caucus belongs body and
soul to Wall street. About two'thirds
Of all the Republicans in both Houses OF
Congress are anti silver, while at least
four-ifths Of all the Democrats are favor
able to il. This has been the case right
along since the Republican party de-
monetized silver in 1873. The only
thing done since that time to help silver
was accomplished by Democratic votes.
The Bland bill was passed by the Demo
cratic party aided by less than twenty
Western Republicans. There is no
comparison between the records Of the
two parties. Practically speaking the
Republicans are solidly against silver
while the Democrats are as solidly for it.
OF course any measure that the Repub-
licsn caucus will consent to pass will be
"cunniDgly DEVISED" as the Journa
says, and intended to cheat the silvel
men. They will never give their adhe-
sion to any bill that will help silver
They are simply trying to make a LITTLE
capital for their party, without any hop
of doing good. to avoid being defeated
out of sight in the Fall elections, ant
the Republican members from thi
Coast are betraying silver to save thei
party. No silver bill adopted by a Re.
publican caucus will be worth the pape
it is written upon. These are the facts
and still the people Of the mining State
will send Republicans to Washington
and thus give their enemies, the gold
bugs, a clean working majority in boil
Houses. Our people, all Of whom ar
silver men, will deserve no sympathy
they continue to vote on this line.

morning with the st. Johns cadets and in the
afternoon with the naval cadets. The morn
ing game was an easy victory for the Varsity
boys who played brilliant fielding game all
through. Score, 26-1. The afternoon game
with the naval cadets was prevented on ac-

On Tuesday the Varsity Reserv es played the
Episcopal High School, of Alexandria, and de-
feated them in an exciting game by a score of
