MORE COMPLETE CONTROL THAN WAS

The relations OF the Northern Pacific Railroad with
the Wisconsin Central system which gives it an en-
trance into Chicago are to be made more intimate.
The traffic contract between the two companies which
went into effect on July /, is TO be changed into
lease. The subject has been under discussion for
long time but the complications surrounding the Wis
consn Central have made It doubtful what form Of
alliance might be proper and legal. At the regular
monthly meeting OF the directors OF the Northern
Pacific Railroad yesterday report by the counsel Of
the company declared that lease Of the property
might be made and accordingly a resolution was
passed to perfect the combination. Henry Willard.

An IgnomfnIous FaiIure.

The New York Mail and Express,
which is in nc sense a friend Of silver,
recently contained the following:
Since the first movement in silver,
during a period in which the price has
risen Is cents an ounce, Great Britain
sold US little less than two million
ounces at prices five or six cents below
the current quotation. During the pres,
ent week we have shipped back nearly
as much as that ct an advance OF cur,
rent prices. and the effort to break oul
market has proved an ignominious fail
ure. There is now no chance whatever
of our losing control of the silver mar
ket, which has been so suddenly taker
away from Great Britain.

A New York evening paper says; The
large shipments Of silver bullion to Lon
don in the pas. few days have given rise
to much comment, because it has been
predicted that as soon as the Silver bill
passed this country would be CODED
with the silver Of foreign countries.
The actual facts have been precisely the
reverse. The head Of the leading bull
ion brokerage house in this city said to-
day.:
relative to the cause OF the present
movement Of silver to England. The
truth Of the matter is just this: Every
Summer England demands q large
amount Of silver to be sent to India to
nav for wheat and cotton. The demand
usually IN in August aud Septem-
Der. This year it has come earlier, pre-
sumably owing to the fact that after
August Is the Government will begin to
buy 4, 800, 600 ounces Of silver a month
for coinage under the new Silver bill.
The public only hears Of q part OF the
silver which goes abroad.
Furthermore, much is bought for ship
ment which is not shipped for weeks
afterward. Our own house, holding 9
large amount, bought this way to be
shipped later. When the Silver bill be-
comes a law we shall see two contendinl
forces fighting for silver. The result
will be that the price will be advanced
! The Silver bill may eventually result il
an increased production Of silver by thu
working OF mines which have hithert'
not been profitable"

MOST

Silver is still on the upgrade. 1t
shows symptoms of passing beyond all
the calculations of the experts, and il is
impossible to make anything like q safe
prediction from day to day what it is
going to do. In three months il has ad-
vanced twenty points. It has but six
teen more to 20 before it strikes high
water mark, and the Government has
not yet begun to purchase the four and
a half million ounces monthly. 1t would
not be at all astonishing il, even before
Congress meets, the old price should be
established and the white metal be on q
level with the yellow. The lovely fea-
ture is that the agricultural products of
the East are advancing as fast as silver
is, and for the first time in ten years
something like q legitimate hope warns
the hearts of the farmers. They were
blinded o long time by a dishonest and
u%nfaithful press, but ID looks as though
silver would now take care OF itself and
assert its sovereignty without any more
weights being taken from it. It was q
shameful thing that for seventeen years
tie Government Of the United States,
at the beck Of a few interest ~gatherers,
imposed such loss and hardship upon its
people. 1t was a calamity worse
than an exhaustive war. Il was SIM
ply q steady and steadily increasing
robbery, and there was no relief until
the wrong became unbearable. 1t
would take a brave man, when Winter
comes, to stand up in Congress and
make any further fight against any
Measure to do full justice to silver

ruE DEMAND ron MINES.

We believe there is going to be q
GOOD demand for good silver mines in
the near future. We have advices from
New York and Boston which seem TO
point strongly that way. Eastern CAPT.
talists are tired Of real estate and real
estate booms. They are also tired OF
ioaning on farm mortgages. Millions OF
New England money has been invested
in Kansas and other agricultural States
ou real estate securities. On most Of
this money not . dollar Of interest has
been paid In three years. The Chicago
grain market and the New York cotton
and railroad exchanges are considered
too risky by the general run Of conserv-
alive investors. What other field then
is left except miningi With prudence
mimi may be as safely followed as any
other line Of business. II is the most
fascinating pursuit in the world. 1t
awakens hopes and possibilities not re-
allied in any other industry under the
sun. Il is the most independent occu-
patton on earth. A man with a good
mine never has to drum for business. IL
is he who is drummed by the tradespeo.

business, over and above ell others, that

great wonder is that more men Of ample

highest type Of industry. The chief
reason why they do not grows out Of the
fact doubtless that they do not under

selves sooner than anything else; and
when once their attention is arrested
they will not be long in putting in their
money. This is the basis Of our best
hope for money with which to develop
our long neglected mineral resources.
There are good mines and good pros
poets. A prospect is not a mine, but
the prospect must always precede the
mine. Good mines are scarce and hard
TO find. They are worth good money
when found. Promising prospects are
plentiful. Here is the place to draw the
line. Too many mining operators palm
off mere prospects on the unwary as es.

of the mining business all through the

Liberal victory.

HEADQUARTERS LIBERAL COUNTY CON-,
SALT LAKE, Aug. 5, 1890.
Under the most adverse circumstances
the Liberals have won o glorious victory.
Oar magnificent ticket, with the excep-
ton of Sheriff and Recorder, is elected
beyond all question. Against these two
men the entire effort Of our common en-
envy was directed. We have demon.
strated that Salt Lake county is at last
an American county and that the time
has come when Mormon rule ends. The
result of the election is and will be q
guarantee to the country at large that
Salt Lake City is safely divorced from
Mormon rule. We had traitors in our
camp to deal with. and Mormon gold
was dealt out without stint. The most
~grievous frauds were carried out by the
enemy, and yet we have triumphed.
Liberals may we'll rejoice over the re-
suit in Salt Lake county.

A Republican View.

There is nothing admirable about the
Federal Election bill which has passed
the House and is now before the Senate.
Admitting that the condition it is in
tended to meet is as bad as it is repre-
sented to be by the advocates of the
bill, and Of which there is no reasona.
BILE doubt, there is not the least reason
to anticipate any such effect from the
bill as its advocates expect. Federal
supervision of elections is not a desira-
BILE thing, aver il it could be accom-.
plished, but there is everything in the
situation to warrant the belief that it
cannot be accomplished in the South
and that it's application elsewhere can
result only in mischief. Milwaukee

der Ease.
The statement is published that
Miles Fawcett, for whose murder
Josiah Potts and his wife Elizabeth
Potts were hanged at Elko last June,
was married to the woman, under the
name OF Mrs. Elizabeth Atherton, in
San Francisco in March, 1887. Faw-
cett subsequently, applied to an at
torney to investigate the woman's
antecedents, as he believed all was
not right. The attorney found the
woman had previously been married
to Potts who was living at Carlin.
Fawcett was much enamored OF his
wife, and was induced by the return
of $105, which he had paid a female
marriage broker who brought about
the marriage, to stop all legal pro-
ceedings against Mrs. Potts. Fawcett
| subsequently took her to his home
near Fresno, and afterward followed
her when she returned to her hus-
band at Carlin. 1t is thought the
knowledge Fawcett had Of the woman's
| guilt Of the crime of bigamy, was in
| ducement to his murder.

The New York Herald says. We
shall have, it appears, no Tariff bill
this session. Perhaps Mr.. Allison n
some Of the more conservative Republic
cans may coerce one, but il does not
look like it. We have had little faith
in q tariff measure from the present
Congress. And now that Mr.. Blaine
has knitted the Mckinley bill the faith
grows weaker and weaker.
The reason is obvious. Why should
the protectionists pass a new tariff! The
present one suits them very well. They
are making great fortunes out Of it.
They keep war taxes in time Of peace,
vote enormous pensions to absorb the
surplus, and the longer the tariff re-
mains the more money will be sailed
away.
The condition Of affairs is shameful.
Industry is oppressed. The people are
taxed from their bread 10 their raiment
in an outrageous mi Millions, tens
of millions are taken annually from the
wage earners to swell the fortunes OF
Mr.. Carnegie and others like him. The
industrial and agricultural resources OF
the nation are given over 10 . monopoly.
That monopoly was powerful enough to
send four hundred Thousand dollars in
one sum to help elect Mr.. Harrison.
The money went where it did the most
good. The men who sent il desire no
change in the tariff. Why should they :
The Republicans have been fooling
over the tariff for years. They have
never amended it, because they do not
desire amendment. They will fool and
dawdle and debate the Mckinley bill as
they did the Mills bill and send il over
to the next session. to the session after,
to limbo If they can.
When public opinion in the United
States becomes revolutionary, and these
tariff barons find they cannot hold on to
their gains, there will be a change. But,
to use a bomely but quite ineligible
illustration, there will be no tariff reform
until the people take the monopolists BY
the neck and kick them into q r~ealiza-

A LOCAL DEDICATION BILL.

Senator Stewart has introduced . bill
to cede TO the State Of Nevada all of the
Government land within her boundaries.
the proceeds from which shall be devot-
ed to the purposes Of irrigation. The
Measure lie not original with the Senator.
II was formerly introduced in the House
by the writer of this article and has
been advocated for years by the SENTI-
MEL. 1t is the only tangible thing to do
on the subject. An appropriation Of
money from the Federal Treasury is out
of the question, because il can never be
had. By getting all Of the land in our
State we could then ~inaugurate a local
irrigation policy. The subject would
revert to the control Cf our Legislature
and we could manage the donation in
our own way and for the best interests
Of the State and people. We would not
be compelled to await the sale OF the
lands. We could issue long term
low interest bonds secured by these
lands and provide q sinking fund to
meet principal and interest as circum-
stances might require. The lands, Is
fast as reclaimed, would be in demand
at q good price. The mountain and ir.
reclaimable lands could be leased to
ssockmen for ranges, thus insuring to
the State an income from that source.
In other words. with the whole ques.
tion in our own hands we could begin to
utilize the gift at once. And the Gov.
ernment would not be out q dime by the
cession. Public surveys and the cost OF
maintaining the land offices in this State
costs more than the Government real.
ICES from the sale Of lands. The Gov
eminent would make money by giving
MS outright every acre il owns in Ne.
vsda. We once prepared the figures on
this point but they have escaped our
memory, beyond the general fact that
the cost exceeded the income by several
thousand dollars per annum. This comes
OF the fact that practically all lands in
Nevada are bought from the State, I'M
der the two million acres school grant,
instead Of from the Government. A
proper presentation of these facts and
arguments in Congress would 20 far to-
ward securing the passage of the meas
ure under notice. But the bill should
state very clearly that the proceeds from
the sale OF the lands should never be de.
voted to any other purpose than irriga-
tion. 1t has been demonstrated that
the money belonging even to the school
children of the State is not sacred in the
eyes Of a Republican Legislature.
