A sterling Man.

The name of Governor Nichols of
Louisiana should be filed in the
memorandum books of every mans
memery in the United States as one
of the sturdy men of these modern
days. A great gambling company
In that State has been fighting for
months to obtain legal authority to
conduct it's gambling houses for a
term of years in that great common
wealth. So vast is its corruption
fund that IL has offered $l,250,000 per
annum for the right to operate there.
In his message Governor Nichols
fought the proposition with all the
energy of pure and great man, and
the bill has passed both houses of the
Legislature by majority which in
sures it's passage over the Governors
veto. And still in filing his veto the
Governor puts ON record the facts
which the Legislature cannot ignore
without going into history with a
brand upon it which sensitive and hon.
orable men shrink under. He tells
them that Louisiana does not need
this bribe; that she is rich enough to
handle her own institutions. to take
care of herself, and that nothing of
good can come of accepting this cor
ruption fund. Where the manhood of
the man comes in is found in the fact
that he is not very rich man; that
by the turning of his hand he coHld
have secured from these people an
income probably 100000 year for
the rest of his natural life: and more
than that, with . certain prospect
that If he refused to yield to their de-
mands probably every place of honor
and preierment would henceforth be
closed against him, and he be an out
cast in the State he has so honored.
It was terrible trial Of the manhood
of the man, and that he has been
strong enough to carry his flag To the
last marks him as one of the sterling
men of this age.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Another Terrible Cyclone

The press dispatches give har-
rowing account of the loss of life and
property near Red Wing, Minnesota,
last Sunday by another of those de-
structive cyclones.
A most terrible calamity occurred
In the country within radius of so
miles of st. Paul, by which scores of
lives have been lost, and the country
round about filled with mourning
and desolation.
A pleasure steamer with a tender
sailing on Lake Pepin was caught
within the influence ola great cyclone.
The tender, upon which there were
200 persons, was torn from her con-
sort, and nearly all on board were
swallowed up in the waves.
Hundreds of other persons who
were enjoying visit to the pleasure
resorts at the numerous lakes which
abound in that region have disap-
peared, and the loss of life has been
so terrible that no accurate estimate
of the number can be made for
many days.
Sixty bodies have been recovered
from the wreck. The latest informa-
ton place the loss of human lives
at 100.

The Conferences silver BIZ.

The Conference Silver Bill passed
the House by vote of 129 to 80, and
as II is the creation of John Sherman
and satisfactory to the gold Bugs, IT
will doubtless receive the approval of
the President.
Opinions regarding the bill differ
materially, though all agree that 1t
makes u commodity of silver. 1t Is
possible that it may enhance the price
of silver bullion, though that will de-
pend to a great extent upon Wall
Street and London brokers. 1t will

passage, so people will not have long

Such vast quantities of silver by the

stanley Married

London, July 13.-The marriage OF
Henry NJ. Stanley and Dorothy Ten
nant took place at Westminster Abb
hey yesterday. Stanley showed the
effects of the illness by which he was
attacked Friday, and was compelled
To use stick to assist him in walk
ing 10 and from the altar. The Abb
bey was crowded with friends of the
bride and groom.
The ceremony was performed by
the Very Rev. George Bradley, Dean
of Westminster, the Very Rev. Fred
erick William Farrar, Archb bishop OF
Westminster, and the Right Rev.
William Boyd Carpenter, Bishop of
Ripon.
Stanley was so i'll that he had to be
carried into the church. Another
account says that he was compelled
to sit during the ceremony. Two
physicians were present to attend
Stanley if necessary, and in this
plight Stanley was found by Miss
Tenant and bridal party. He was
evidently very sick man, but deter
mined. The bride wore a rich white
silk, with front of white satin, en-
broidered with pearls, trimmed with
orange blossoms. She wore the
Queens miniature set in diamonds
suspended from a superb collarette Of
rare Brazilian stones, also present
from the Queen. Stanley wore the
traditional morning dress suit. The
church was filed with guests and
thousands we're on the outside of the
edifice, blocking travel.

some Things for Taxpayers to Con-
slider.


The following pertinent and timely
editorials are from the Reno Journal.
They strike us as homely truths that
find An echo in the minds of our
tax ridden people:
Why should $40. 900 per annum be
paid out for Supreme Court with
only half dozen cases year
Must the Governor of Nevada al
WAYS have a salary of $4,000 year?
Oregon pays $1,000. The office OF
Lieutenant Governor in Nevada Is
like fifth wheel TO wagon.
What nonsense that Nevada should
have Legislature OF sixty members,
or session of sixty day at an ex-
pense of $53, 900 every two years.
Is there any good reason why the
expenses of the State Government
should not be reduced from S275,OOO
to $175, 900 per annum
Have the taxpayers of Nevada any
rights which the officeholders are
bound to respect, or must taxes be
paid simply TO pay large salaries for
officers TO sit around the State and
county buildings and enjoy the sun
in the forenoon, and then move
around to the other side of the build
ing and enjoy the sun in the after
noon.
Has not State Treasurer Tufiy been
away from his official duties many
months. Has not the Deputy done
the work Of the Office? Is it neces-
sary 10 pay two men In that office,
when one man can do itall, and then
loaf half of the time?
Does any person know OF any good
reason why Nevada should have an
Attorney General at $4,000 per an
mum, unless it be to serve as scare
crow? Let the office be abolished,
and the Board of Examiners engage
legal talent when needed.
Nevada has no need to revert to a
territorial form of Government. All
she needs is to live within her means
to maintain Statehood.

No Flies on Carter.

Washington Special to Helena Jour
nal: Representative Carter has re-
ceived a large number OF telegrams
from not only various points in Mon
tana, but ali leadproducing states
and territories in the country, con-
graduating him upon his magnificent
victory IN having the lead ore section
retained in the tariff bill. II was the
best victory achieved during the tariff
debate. The New York Tribune, edi-
torially, has tins To say of il:
"'rhe miners of the Rocky noun
iains have many reasons forcongratu-
l1ting themselves upon their admir-
able represent alton IN congress. The
victory in the house for the protect ion
of American lead ore was pre- -eninently
a miners victory; victory for labor
ers not less than ior mine owners.
The question was purely II question OF
wages. The battle that WAS fought
over this question was the hardest
and fiercest OF the tariff contests in
The present session, and the represent
were pltted against many of the
strongest AMI most experienced de
baters.

hat the inountaineers showed them
selves possessed of much force. pa
tience, tact and skill. Carter, OF Mon
tana, who conducted the ease for the
miners, fully Justified the confidence
which Speaker Reed placed in him by
appointing him, though all untested,
ut the head OF he committee on mines
and mining. His speeches were models
OF persuasive argument, strong, com
pact and earnest. Whether in array

in appeal, Carter displayed the quail

The Australian Fails to Knock Out the Colo.
rado Champion.

CHICAGO, May 19.-Six thousand
people tonight witnessed a rattling
five round match with four ounce
gloves between Peter jackson, the
colored Australian champion who is
to fight John l.. Sullivan, and Ed
smith, champion of Colorado.
Much interest was taken i'm Smith :
ability as against jackson, owing to
the fact that the Colorado man had
been trained by sullivan and Muldoon,
the wrestler, and to the further fact
that Smith recently knocked out Mike
Cleary in one round.
Smith made a decidedly good show
ing against the bigcolored man, stand
ing up five rounds without suffering a
knockout.
Smith appeared timid in the first
round and was flOored three times,
but in the succeeding rounds he rallied,
and though at a disadvantage from
.Jackson's long reach, landed repeat
edly Oh Jackson's jaw and wind pipe.
Both men were groggy when the COM
bat ended.
Muldoon offered to back Smith for
$1,000 to fight any man i'm the world.

II is claimed that the man who was
recently convicted at Clayton. Mo-,
of horse stealing, has been identified
as the man who robbed President
Moffatt, OF the First National bank, OF
Denver about year ago, OF S21 900.
This, it will he remembered was one oi
the boldest robberies ever pepetrated.
A stranger approached the bank presi-
dent in his private office and under
a threat to take his life compelled him
to sign a check for the above amount
and accompany him to the cashier
to get the money. After receiving the
cash the thief bid the president fond
adieu, left the bank and made his
escape. Reqnisition papers have been
issued for the thief.

powerful and convincing speech. reiut-
ing the assertion that fuxing ores

American smelters IN operation. Mr.
Carter closed his remarks and the
debate as follows:
say further that the evidence of
many citizens and ailidavits from all
over the Rocky mountain country, as
well as from Missouri, show that be-
yond all doubt we can produce not
only all fluxing ores required in the

tity of iluxing ores to supply all the
smelters in christendom. II is a qtles-
tion OF cheap labor, pure and simple,
and we protest that it is unjust, that
it is unfair, that it is not reasonable
to protect the white lead trust and the
product OF smelters with duty OF 2
cents a pound on pig lead and further
increase smelter combined profits by
giving free lead ore while blasting the
hopes and prosperity ot thousands of
struggling men who have gone upon
the mountain sides to hew out home
and battle for fortune. This is an
issue between twenty-five millions OF

Senator Stanford's scheme to have
the government loan money to farmers
Mt a low rate OF interest and take
security OF their crops does not seem
practicable. The money in the hands
OF the government is held in trust for
the whole people, and it has no au-
thority to use it for the benefit or
amelioration OF any class OF citizens.
Any man might strike Uuncle sam for
a temporary loan when he gets hard
pressed if Stanford's scheme obtains.
The government cannot discriminate
among the people. Stanford can start
a low rate loan agency on his own
hook if he has such a profound regard
for the farmers. lie has a good deal
OF money that was iilched from the
people.

The horse market is improving in

smooth. well-turned horses weighing
about 100, are in the strongest de-
mand. Common scrubs are in over
supply and sell at low figures. Carriage
teams sold for $4,000 900; drivers,
Sl25(o l65; draft teams, S365(o 4s5."
1t will be observed by the above that
it does not pay to raise 'common
scrub horses for eastern markets any
more than it does common scrub"
cattle. This fact should he remem-
bered by our horse and cattle raisers.
A good animal will bring a fair price
at all times, and when the market is
strong the raiser is still the gamer.
