No Thought for the Farmer.
From the Philadelphia Record.

- AsNSSA"'
Even in the advocacy cfreciproci-
ty the farmer is unthought of by
the Republican leaders. What.
ever advantage he might hope to
secure would be incidental and
unattended. The reciprocity the
farmer would be benefited by would
be uncrippled trade with the coun-
tries that buy and consume his
surplus grain, dairy products, beef
and pork. The reciprocity that
Mr.. Blaine seeks to induce is recpi-
rocity in the interest of the manu-
facturer. 1t would be we'll enough
if it could be brought about. But
it cannot be palmed off on the
country as a movement in behalf OF
the agricultural interest.

"After Congress has done all that

THOMPSON STATION, Mo-, Oct. IL.
i wish to say to the members of
the F. and l.. Union that 1 have
been asked by quite a number of
our members to call a meeting
of the members and everybody else
that wishes to come, to be held at
some certain point in the county,
about the first Saturday in Nov,

ent to interest the people. I will
further say the meeting will not be
in the interest of any political
party but to discuss principles and
subjects of interest to the members
of the Union and producers in
general. Now if you wish meeting
of that kind, instruct your dele
gates to the County Union as to
what you wish and if there is
enough in favor to justify me in SO
doing I will make the call and do
all I can to make the meeting a
success. I. J. SIMS,

Many of the good people OF Elko

represented in the highest branch Of
our Legislature by one editor it would
be a good plan to "make even" by
sending another; and hence the an
nouncement elsewhere in this issue.

as to his qualifications for the position
we have nothing to say. The people
know him, and il they choose to send
him to the State Legislature he can
only promise that he will do what he
can for the interests Of the State in
general, and Elko county particularly.
With no further pledges than the
above he submits his name to the

its wisdom to select a better man for
the position Of State Senator.-Elko

A wofuI lack of Rn,husiasm

The news Of Idaho's admission,
says the Daily News-Miner, was re-
ceived here with little enthusiasm,
Notwithstanding reports to the con-
trary. There IA no cheering, no
bonfires, no celebration. There was
no sign Of enthusiasm coming from
the mass of the people. Why it is
that such a boon as Statehood con
ferred OH the territory has failed to
cause a general joy among the COM
mon, every day people? II Statehood
is the climax OF all that is glorious and
good for the people, why was
there not one outburst of glad
ness and celebration in HALEY
on the afternoon and night
Of the first Of July that would have
eclipsed anything Of the kind seen
here. The fact is, a free ball and
supper created more enthusiasm in
HALEY than did the news OF Idaho's
admission TO Statehood. II seemed
more like the funeral OF Idaho Ter
ritory than the celebration OF the
birth Of the State OF Idaho" But

the lottery privilege worthless, by cut
