The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1890-06-23
D;sREPUTABLE TACTICS.

The House of Representatives passed
bill emphasizing the demonstration of
silver by declaring the metal to be COM
modify, like lead or wheat. with no fixed
value. The friends Of silver were denied
the right to offer amendments to the bill,
az the Speaker would not recognize them
for that purpose, and his action was sus-
tanned by the gag rules adopted by the
majority TO prevent free speech and
silence the minority. The Senate, how
ever, amended the bill, by making the
coinage OF silver free, and returned it to
the House. 1t has been the invariable
rule to refer bills amended by the Senate
to a committee OF the whole House, but,
az adherence to that rule in this instance
would involve square vote on free coin
age, . thing the majority is determined
to PREVENT White House intimidations,
the Speakers bulldosing, and the disrep-
utable tactics of Mckinley, Cannon and
other party leaders can do it, the amended
bill was taken by the Chairman of the
Coinage Committee from the Speakers
desk, without the consent of the House
and the Speaker declared that the bill
had been referred to that committee. A
few Republicans, notably Morrow of
California, joined the Democrats in pro-
testing against the high-handed outrage.
but BANDS appeal to the House not to
to falsify the record was tabled and the
majority decided that the bill stood re-
fsrred to the Coinage Committee. This
committee is composed OF fourteen mem
bers, one of whom is Delegate Josephs of
New Mexico, Democrat, who has no
vote. The Chairman is Conger of Iowa,
who prefers the favors of the White
House to the plaudits of the people.
There are on the Committee, Bland of
Missouri, Williams of Illinois. Carter of
Montana and Bartine of Nevada. Bland
and Williams reported against the Win
dom Bill, but Carter and Bartine recon-
mended it's passage. Since then Bartine,
who was led to believe by the
Republican papers of this State, that bis
party endorsed his action, had his eyes
opened by the resolutions of the Silver
Convention and he has since been voting
with the Democrats. If Carter and
Bartine had ability and stability and
should join Bland and Williams they
could present strong report in favor of
the Senate Amendments and insist on
being heard at the risk of being placed
the custody of the Sergeant
alarms for exercising the right of free
speech. but, judging by their conduct
heretofore, they have not sufficient force
of character or independence to fight for
right against the party machine, and il
they do not quietly acquiese in the the
decree of King Caucus. they will do
nothing more than feebly protest against
it.

100000 public building, while towns Of
u, OO0 and 10000 in his State were
denied such boon. The member from

stanford and Huntington Part
COnpnny-The FoVmer's Ambition.
SAN FRANoIsoo, GAL, 0oi. 15.-"What
are the inside feotg in the Huntingdon
Stanford quarrel ?" This question has
been on o thousand tongues since Mr..
Huntingdon succeeded Stanford aa presi-
dent of the Southern California system.
II is said that woman is the original
cause but there is no scandal simply o
family quarrel. Mr.. Huntingdon's first
wife was q Stanford. ALI were great
friends for 81 years. Mr.. Huntingdon
and Mr.. Stamford were building up and
controlling the vast railway system now
dominating the Pacific coast. MIS-. Hunt
ingdon led. Mr.. Hun ingdon married
again. II is said that his second wife was
not cordially received by the Stanfords.
MIR. Huntingdon, bold, outspoken, i'm
petuous man, resented 1t, and after ~
years of brotherly association with Mr..
Stanford, Mr.. Huntingdon secured the
presidency of the vast corporation, and
with il $500 miles of road, representing
$3.50, 900, 900 Of capital.
Mr.. Huniingdon'ssp speech to the officers
was q thunderbolt. He said i: "Ihe road
has been used as political machine by
Stanford to put himself in Office. Let us
conduct the road so that all good people
will be with us. I am not opposed to legit-
innate politics, but there should be no
politics in our business. / have nothing
personal against Mr.. Stanford. He has
many good points, but he has no right to
use the companys property for his own
polit cal ends. will stay in these offices
365 days year if necessary to keep out
politics. Things have reached such pass
in San Francisco that II a man runs for
constable he thinks it necessary to visit
railroad headquarters for instructions
and power"
Another cause of controversy between
Mr.. Huntingdon and Mr.. Stanford il
Mr.. Btanford's attitude against the Chi
nese. Mr.. Huntingdon said; ~ favor
the Chinese on the ground that any man
born of woman is deserving of kind
consideration until he proves himself
rogue"
Mr.. Huutingdon's friends and many
people not his friends, claim that MIR.
Stanford'B ambition is the White House.
First he made himself governor and then
United States senator. With millions Of
railroad money and tens OF thousands Of
votes at his command, 1t is claimed that
he could see pathway blazing gloriously
from the San Francisco railroad Offices TO
the Presidential chair.
Mr. Huntington is called ''hustler,"
typical western man, except % to his
Chinese record. He has no sympathy
with Mr.. Stanford's dreamy goady.goody
theories, behind which he poses as a
philanthropist and aocumulates millions
wrung from the public. MIR. Hunting
don's friends speak Of MIR. Stanford aG
the wicked partner. Mr.. Stanford has
certain hobbies, such as cooperation, o
currency stem bssed on land mortgage
security. Another cause of the rupture,
as published in California, was Mr.. stan
ford's acceptance Of the United States
senatorship, when he knew that it had
been promised to ex-senator Sargent.

James Wallace, residing near Blackis
ton's Gross Roads, aged about 63 years,
came to his death in a singular manner
last week. BE told his wife on Wednes
day morning he was going to thresh Q
chestnut tree: she tried to dissuade him
considering it proper work for younger
people, but his mind seemed to be on
doing it, and so went, she sHd bsr
daughter accompanying him. IN bAein-

tree, leaving him hanging mead
downward, unable jc any way 10 e3-

from so to 40 feet from the
ground, and o. course the females OF his
family could render him NO relief. Mrs.
Wallace run to che nearest far n with the
lack to find fae men away, with the same
resuIt at tho next farm, and she had gone
some three miles before she could find
men to help her. Another unfortunate
delay here ooourred-there was no lad
der, and the men had to go in search of
one, and bythe time the unfortunate man
was relieved from his painful situstion,
two and three hours had elapsed.
When got to the ground he was in an
unconscious and dying condition, and
expired in about an hour afterwards. His
remains wore inferred on Friday Of Black

cages.
The Philadelphia Record says: Louis II.
James and Il. Howard Atkinson, the two
Dcylestown lawyers who recently went
west to inquire into the condition Of mort.
gage Investments Of many Bucks county
people, amounting to about 5000, 900, on
kausas lands, pass d through this city on
Thursday, on their return. The travellers
have, during their months absence, gone
over all the lands where Bucks county peo.
pie have invested their money, investigated
the workings Of the Snowalter Mortgage
Company. and are now prepared to explain
to all interested the cause FOR the default OF
payment of interest money due on the
mortgages, and on account of which so
much apprehension was felt. the two
lawyers SO bring back with them many
additional facts which are OF general
interest.
In speaking OF the result OF the investi-
getion Thursday, Mr.. James said: "We are
partly gratifisd and partly disappointed
with the condition of affairs Of our people
out In Kansas. 1t was gratifying to find
that the Showalter Company had been per-
iecily honest In the transaction OF its Dusi-
ness. We went over, by carriage, all the
lands and found that they were worth the
lien upon them and mora.
"We learned with regret, however, that
these lands, or the greater part OF them,
have no market value whatever. This can
only be explained by giving the condition
OF affairs In Kansas at the present time.
-Four years ago, 1t will be remembered,
there was boom In Kansas lands, and
eastern money went out there by the cart
load. When, however, the government
opened up Oklahoma and the Sioux reser-
walton year ago, the people gathered up
their effects and rushed In hordes to the
new land. Who towns throughout Kan
sas have thus been almost depopulated.
"rhis has resulted In a great deprecia
tion OF property values. Farms worth
81, 200 and 800 year ago would have no
value az all II placed on the market now.
Now, the reason why the Bucks county
investors have not received their interest
money Is on account of this great deptecia-
tion In property value and the failure OF
this years corn crop In Kansas. Many OF
the farmers and property holders upon
whose lands the mortgages have been
placed have been pressed for m ney and
have been unable to pay the interest,""
