HorklNs. BAD BREAK.
Judge Botiins, of Kansas, Uses Intemper-
ate Language 1t an Open G. A. r. Meeting

Judge Boti<ins, of Kansas, Uses Intemper-
ate Language 1t an Open c. A. r. Meeting
in Texas and Is Rebuked BY the Post.
At the late term of the United States
Court at Paris, Tex, the local post of
the G. A. R gave an open reception to
comrades present from Kansas which
was largely attended by the people Of
the city. Many visitors and citizens
of Paris were called out to speak.
Among others who were called before
the meeting was Judge Botkins, judge
of the Springfield (Kan.) district court,
whose remarks were so ill-timed as to
call forth indignation from all sides
The Paris Times thus describes the incl
dent:
Pursuant to the call an open meeting
of the George w. Wright G. A. r. post
at this place was held at the opera house
last night and according to their invita-
ton a large number of Union soldiers
attending the Federal court, of ex-Con-
federate soldiers of Paris and of citizens,
ladies and gentlemen, were present The
opera house was pretty we'll filled and
every body seemed in a good humor.
'Mr. T. u. johnson, commander, and
r Herr, adjutant of the post, and few
others were on the stage At about $50
o'clock Mr.. johnson called the house to
order and after few remarks intro
duced Mr.. ]. NJ. Long to make an ad-
dress of welcome.
''Mr. Long spoke for about twenty min
utes in his usual style and his remarks
in-favor of peace and good will between
the soldiers of the two armies and the
people of the North and South were ap-
plauded by every one in the house.
Colonel Joseph G. Waters, of Tope-
ka, Kan, was then introduced and spoke
in the same strain. He had been in the
Union army the same as Mr.. Long had
been in the Confederate army, both had
| fought as they believed, the war was
over, the flag hoated over all, and all
bitterness should be laid aside. He
made good speech and was heartily
applauded.
Zone L. BotkiHs, or Boakins, then took
the floor. He began by saying that he
was told there were 400 Union soldiers
in the city, and only about twenty were
members of the post, that others said
they were afraid to join. On such
man. he said, and repeated the ex-
preston several times. Finally he said
he did not indorse what was said about
Jefferson Davis, that Jefferson Davis
had signed an order to starVe $4,000
Union soldiers to death. Cd d-n
him." A gentleman in the audience
got up and denounced the speaker as an
Infamous liar. Considerable confusion
followed.
After order was restored in part Cap
tain S. j. Wright, of Paris, Mr.. G. w.
Collins and Mr.. C. f. Cook, of Kansas,
made short addresses, repudiating the
utterances of Botkinsin the name of the
Kansas people present and of the Grand
Army men of Paris. The speeches of
| Captain Wright and C. Z. Cook were
particularly good and we're applauded to
the echo. The audience and tho Grand
Army men without an exception were
Disguised at the conduct of BotlSins but
Tor which the occasion would have been
pleasant and harmonious"

For ntr. I,Iaine TO ANSWER.

Mr.. Blaine has claimed that under the
first so-calied protective tariff, that of
1888, the country was wonderfully pros
porous, that all departments of business,
agricultural, manufacturing and COM
mercial, were exceedingly profitable.
This is not denied; but it should be
stated that the tariff of 1889 averaged
only eight and one-half per cent
The nut for Mr.. Blaine to crack now
is this: II the country, in its rude, p:o-
neer condition of one hundred years ago,
was wonderfully prosperous under an
eight and one-half per cent tariff, why
could not the country, in its highly de-
veloped condition of 1890, prosper under
an equally low tariff? After century
of the tariff are we less able than ever
to face the great world? Has hundred
years training of the hand in cunning
made us less skillful? Has the opening
of mines, the clearing of fields the devel-
opment of industry in Thousand differ
emit directions and to an extent never
before witnessed by man, made US less
able to cope with the world than our
great-grandfathers were? Do we reflect
much credit on cur greats grandfather?
About dozen representatives OF
the molasses boilers were recently heard
by the House Ways and Means Commit
tee in favor of the allowance of a bounty
OF one per cent per pound on sugar made
in this country from imported molasses.
They asserted that the present narrow
margin of protection would be wiped out
If sugar is placed on the free list unless
bounty should replace duty in their
case as is proposed for the benefit of the
sugar-growers. If sugar production Is
10 be protected through bounty, why
NOT corn and wheat or any other product
Of u e soil?

THE LOTTERY BILL.

In commenting on the passage of
the lottery bill in Louisiana, the S. F.
Examiner says:
Arizona is simply languishing for
chance at the Louisiana sack, and
Nevada would feel happier If she were
honored with its attentions than she
has felt since the halcyon days when
the spontaneous generosity of Fair and
Sharon made life one long sunny dream
for the boys. Mr.. Dauphin's gift
enterprise has agreed to pay the State
OF Louisiana 81 ,250, 900 year in ad-
dition to the unspecified amounts paid
the legislators. A single lump pay
ment of such sum as that would
suffice to secure a perpetual charter
in Montana or Nevada. 1t would not
be necessary TO give it all in
cash either. Part of it would be cheer
fully accepted in lottery tickets"
Nevada is called the Rotten
Borough" but she is not rotten enough
to grant lottery franchise. Her peo-
pie won't have it.

men and women who sleep only three

hours sleep. Americans need more
sleep than they are getting. This lack
makes them so nervous and the Insane

to bed early, then rise early. II you
cannot get to bed till late, then rise

Our esteemed contemporary the
Reno Gazette saws sit is amusing tC
see the Democratic press of Nevada
trying to make political capital out oI
the silver VOTE" Ii the political COM
plexion of that vote merely amuses
the Gazette, it should be pitied rather
than censured. Democrats do not at
tempt to make capital of any kind out
OF 1t, as intelligent Republicans fully
understand how the parties voted on
the silver bill, but unlike the Gazette,
they are disgusted instead of being
amused. As il is not probable that
the Gazette would be amused il il con-
suited the Congressional Record and
noticed the vote in the Senate and
House on the free coinage amendment,
the Silver State respectfully submits
the following facts for its edification:
There are 81 Democrats and AZ
Republicans in the Senate OF the
United States. The vote on the free
coinage amendment stood yeas 43 !;
nays "a OF those who voted for the
bill 28 were Democrats and only
voted against it only three were Demo-
Gratis. Six Democrats were absent
and paired for free coinage with Re-
publicans, who we're against it. Does
the Gazette see anything amusing in
that vote. which is from the Congress
sional Record Of June 18th, page 6653?
In the House there are $50 MEM
bers, OF whom, when Congress con-
vened, 16l were Democrats and 169
Republicans. Since then the Republi-
can majority has been increased by
unseating Democrats who had certif-
Gates Of election, until now the Demo-
Gratis number about 154 and the Re-
publicans l76. The vote for the Sem
ate Free Coinage Amendment, stood
yeas 1876 nays l54. OF those voting
for free coinage, ll3 were Democrats
and % Republicans, and of those
against it, 113 were Republicans and
q Democrats. Does that, which is
not from Democratic papers, but from
the Congressional Record OF June 20,
1890, pages 1888 and 1899, amuse the
Gazette?
The Republicans in the Senate and
House. number 223 members, and
only 3S Of them voted for free coinage
The Democrats in both Houses, num-
Der l9l, only "A OF whom voted against
free coinage. These figures, which
are official, show that the parties are
divided on freecoinage, almost as much
as on any other issue, and if the Gazette
continues to be amused by them and
supports the anti-silver party, it will
prove itself to be much more OF funny
paper than an advocate OF free coin

THE REASON WHY.

The Journal editorially ascribes the
defeat of the lottery scheme in this
State to the high moral character of a
majority OF the voters, etc. As a
matter Of fact people from all over the
State demanded Of the Lottery Com
pany that they have a.chagee to pur-
chase shares at bedrock rates and said
in plain English that they would burst
the scheme if they were not in.
The lottery Company thought il best
not to sell any shares and as a result
got showed under. Had ten thousand
shares Of stock been sold prior to Feb
ruary IL, the Amendment No. %
would have been carried by 1000 ma
ioritv and everybody knows it. While
we are talking about these things let's
have the truth.-Appeal.
Rats! There was enough stock prom
ised before the passage OF the special
election law, il issued in single shares,
TO have carpeted the floors OF both OF
the legislative chambers, and enough
before the election to have papered
the biggest assembly hall in this State.
The truth is majority OF the best
element in both parties combined
against the scheme, voted against and
defeated it. While il is true that some
Of our prominent, and in some re-
spects best citizens were interested in
the enterprise and vigorously sup
ported it at the election, the result was
none the less a victory for the moral
sentiment OF the State and certifica-
ton Of the political integrity Of a major
ity OF its people. The purchasable
element in Nevada has been overosti-
mated In ordinary political contests
it has general y voting strength enough
to insure the success OF the sack can
didates, by its addition to the greater
number OF votes cast from honest po-
litical convictions. But when it comes
to an issue like the lottery scheme,
with no political principle to sustain
it, that element becomes powerless as
against the majority OF the two par
ties, who cast their votes in the in.
terest OF good morals and for the
maintenance Of the credit and repu-
tation OF their State. That's the
reason why" Amendment No. % was
defeated on the 1lth day of FEBRUARY,

The strawberry shak e.

The strawberry shase is becom-
ing very popular among green grocers
and other grocers, says an exchange.
When a grocer has bought crate OF
strawberries he takes the boxes one
by one and shakes up the contents SO
they rise in a heap above the top.
Then he takes the heaped portion and
puts it into an empty box and thus
continues until the empty box is no
longer empty. Then he takes another
empty box and proceeds as before.
Thus crate containing fifty boxes
can be made to yield five or six boxes
more than fifty.
