an oLn.sCHooL KNIGHT

We hear, says the Salt Lake Tribune,
that Brother Mcknight Of the Helena
Journal has been sent to jail.
Mcknight was q Utah boy originally.
He is a bright man and kind-hearted, and
we are glad to see that he bad rather go
TO Jail than give away information which
was given him in the confidence Of the
sanctum. Mr.. Mcknight is q young
man, but he has seen 3 great deal. He
has been twice Consul to ST. Helena.
He has mingled very much with bril-
liant men. and he understands the du.
ties which pertain to journalism, and to
comfort him we will repeat something
that Harry Mighels, the invincible. once
said to a theatre filled with his enemies
in Virginia City. In his paper some years
before he led one side of q labor trouble,
and he spoke q little Unexpectedly Of
certain men engaged In that trouble, so
when he became a candidate for office
his enemies tried the dodge which has
been tried here with very indifferent
success in the last few days; they took
some detached sentences from his paper,
had them printed on dodgers and threw
them around the streets, and when Mi
ghels went to speak the house was packed
by indignant men. Mighels took one of
the dodgers and stepped to the front Of
the stage and began his speech with these
words:
81 suppose some of You who can read
have read what is on those dodgers. /
wish to say to you that 1 wrote every
word; that / alone am responsible for
those words. Why | wrote them is none
Of your business; it is q secret of the
sanctum, and the secrets of the sanctum
are as sacred as the secrets Of the comics.
sional. l wish to say in addition that l
would not take back one word printed
on those dodgers for all your votes. l
wouldn't apologize to you for writing
them to save your worthless lives. You
can possibly beat me for this little office
if you are so disposed, but not for any
Office in the gift of all the people of this
State would / give away the honor that
| have in presiding over a newspaper
that no man ever charged with dishon-
esty."
We hope that friend Mcknight will
take courage as he looks through the bars
Of the Jail, and reflect how many good
men have been in prison before him.
How necessary sacrifices are. that great
principles be established. We hope he
will call to himself all the fortitude nec-
essary to bear confinement, and worse
yet, to stand the food that will be passed
in to him. We hope at last ne will tri-
umph, and come out garlanded with
flowers, because If any one told him
something in confidence, ana he pub
lished it in good faith, and the time came
when it was necessary for either his in.
formant or he to go to Jail, the proper
thing was for him to go, and he will sleep
the sweeter when he comes out.

An actual strike of sex" has lately
taken place among the women of the
Akona tribe in western Africa. Accord.
ing to the Woman's Herald, they pro-
tested against the treatment to which
their fathers, husbands and brothers sub.
jeeted them. Remonstrances being of nc
avail. they tried a stronger measure. A
n~eighboring tribe with whom the Akonas
were not On good terms was appealed to,
and it was agreed to take in all the dis
satisfied women. The village awoke one
morning to find all its women and girls
had gone, and work of almost every kind
at a stand still. Messengers were sent
after the women, with instructions to
grant their demands in full.

1.-THE UNCLrPPEp DOLLAR"

1.-THE building up Of American indus
tries, extension Of foreign commerce,
aid 10 the ocesn-csrrying trade, increased
exchange Of products with foreign na-
tions, taking from them all we cannot
produce, keeping our own markets for
ourselves and occupying foreign markets
with the things we can produce; q sound

Of all the rights of citizenship; in other
words, an unclipped dollar and an I'm.
clipped citizenship are the great central
doctrines Of the Republican party, and
should be inscribed on our banner"
The above lie from q recently published
interview with Senator Hoar, Of Mssss-
ohusetts. We care nothing about the
position Of the Republican party in q gen.
eral sense, as defined by Mr.. Hoar, be-
cause II ell means nothing. but we do feel
an interest in the back. handed lick which
he gives the standard dollar. Senator
Hosr evidently intends to convey the
idea that our present silver dollar 10 a

self and his party to be in favor Of the
"~unclipped" variety. Msnifestly he
stands on the Sherman and Blaine and
Harrison platform Of more silver in the
dollar to bring il up to The gold standard
measured by gold. All of these gentle
men are opposed to free coinage on the
old or any other basis. As 3 matter Of
fact there is scarcely q Republican any
where east Of Kansas who is not 8 gold
bug pure and simple. The recognized
leaders Of that party are all that way. The
small fry from the mining States have
neither weight nor influence in shaping
the policy Of the organization on national
issues. About all they can do is to cheat
the people and help the enemies Of our
chief industry. Nevada's delegation vo-
ted solidly for the law that stopped the
coinage Of silver on July lst, and the
voters Of Nevada have declared that they
did right.

The Farmers Alliance in Kansas is
fortifying its speakers with arguments
against the single standard. p. B. Max
on, Chairman of the Alliance Financial
Committee, is preparing q circular for
lecturers, showing that for 3S2 years the
annual gold product of the world aver
aged less than half q cent per capita. The
result is that farmers are getting less each
year for their products, and the increase
in population for the past ten years in
the United States is smaller in proper.
tion than for any ten years preceding.
He argues that unless there Is q speedy
change in the financial policy of the Gov.
eminent the prices Of farm products will
be lower and business depression greater
than ever before. The remedy suggested
is the coinage Of all the gold and silver
that can be produced.

..THE THREE KINGS"

The Republican cartoon paper, called
The Judge, has a picture which it has
christened the 1.-THE Three Kings" They
are limitations of as many kings in cards,
and each carries 3 profile of the three
Republican leaders, Harrison, Blaine and
Mckinley. The picture is a friendly one
and designed to convey the impression
that the gentlemen named are the great
est men in America to-day. Each carries
a baton or Policeman's club, on which
are the following inscriptions: Harrison,
business administration" Blaine. ere.
ciprocity;" Mckinley, protection"
The inference to be drawn is that here is
a hand that the Democrats cannot beat.
That is 9 bluff" and will come about
as near winning the Presidential "Jack-
pot" as q busted iush." II can be
proven right here in Nevada, either by
Judge Rising, Lon Hamilton, Judge
Belknsp. Major Dennis or Doctor Meigs,
that "three kings" are by no means in
vincible. As matters now look the Dem
ocrats are pretty apt to be found with
"four aces" next year.

:. THE FREE COINAGE HEREsY.,

Mr.. Billy Mckinley, the Republican
nominee for Governor OF Ohio. permitted
himself to be interviewed on political top.
los . few days ago. The battle seems TO
have been mapped out in Ohio to suit
him to q dot. He says the campaign
there this Fall will be as much a national
contest as will be the greater contest for
the Presidency next year. The issues
have been sharply joined and embrace
all the doctrines commended for by the
respective parties. The Republican party
stands pledged to the Mckinley bill and
the single gold standard. The Democ-
racy Of Ohio, on the other hand, favor a
modification Of the tariff and the free
coinage Of silver. Tariff and finance are
to be the great issues next year in the ma
tion as they are to-day in Ohio. Cover.
nor Campbell, Mr.. McKinley's competi-
Tor for the G~overnorship is committed
squareIy for free coinage. The parties
in other States are ranged in the same
manner on these questions. Mr.. McKin'
ley himself, in his interview, talks about
the "heresy Of free coinage" as likely
to damage the Democracy in the Guber-
nstorial race. We do not know anything
about the feeling in Ohio. but we shall
be surprised if Mr.. Mckinley does moi
discover his mistake before he is many
months older.
Although Mr.. Mckinley calls free
coinage "a heresy." how many Republi'
cans are there in Nevada who do moi
want to see him elected? Don't all speak

SENATOR KENNA of West Virginia, n
prominent Demecrotic politician and an
avowed free coinage advocate is report
ed in an interview on the Presidential
question in Washington, the other day,
as saying:
1.-THE heads of the tickets will be
Cleveland and Harrison again. To my
mind there is no doubt who the Demo-
cratic candidate will be. 1t is in the
air. Al | the signs point to Cleveland
Some Democratic Senators are opposed
to him, but that is all there is to the
opposition. 1t is confined to politi-
clans.
The great mass of the people want
Cleveland, and in the end their wishes
must prevail. I believe that Cleveland
is stronger to-day with the rank and file
of the party than he was when he left
the White House. Heis identified with
the question which is to form the issue
in the campaign of next year, the great
question of wringing from the people
millions of money for no legimate pur-
poses of Government. That is bound to
be the issue next year, and on it the
Democrats Will win.
''The other question is an important
one, but it will be subordinate to the
tariff question. While the masses of
the party believe, no doubt, as | do,
that free coinage of silver would be a
good thing, they will not turn away
from Cleveland because he takes a diff
ferent view of the question. On all the
other great questions of Democratic
policy he is sound, and besides this the
people believe him to be strong, cour-
ageous' honest and patriotic. He gave
the country n magnificent administra-
ton of the Government, and he will be
the man to lead the Democracy to vic
tory in 1892"

SeriOns Cave-in.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, July 12.-This
morning at o'clock disastrous cave-in
occurred at the slope of the Kingston
Coal Company, near Larkeville, five
miles from this city, and the inhabitants
of that village, which is built directly
over the mine, were in great fear of their
lives and property, The cave was
caused by the swapping of the old tim
bers in the slope directly under the fan
house, where the surface sank so sudden
ly that the upward rush of air lifted the
roof off the fan house, depositing it
within 100 feet of the opening. For
hundreds Of feet in all directions the sur
face is covered with large seams and
cracks, some of them a foot wide and
extending down into the workings. A
number of houses in the vicinity are
damaged. A dozen men were at work
in the mines at the time, but they all
escaped through second opening.

Editor Freemdn:-SIR:-The two Johns

the Eastern penitentiary for plundering
the city and state out of millions of dol
lars, and 'Pious and God-fearing'' C0
John Wanamaker, the ''breeches- MAKER
and Harrison's Postmaster General, by
right of boodle-have for some time
been eyeing each other like two bulls in
the same ''cuppin one afraid and
the other "dasent' attack the other, yet
still glaring and belligerent. To say the
least it is a pitiable state of affairs in
state and nation with two such represen-
tatives of morality and religion, and the
adage that "when rogues fall out honest
men get their dues" is wholly inappli-
cable in this case.
The truth may come to the surface at
some time later on, but it would never
do to ''turn on the light just now,
thereby insuring the utter ruin of a
host of Republican politicians and place
men who would be involved. 1t would
nevertheless be interesting and, no
doubt, instructive to learn the precise
status of the thousands of shares of stock
that were appropriated to Wanamaker
for his especial use and behoof, and
upon which money was realized, W neither
1t was bogus or not, and further how
much of the ''loot" of the keystone
bank was applied to buy up the vote of
the State of New York to secure the cleo
ton of Harrison. The mass of the peo-
pie are as interesting as they are honest
and they will get at the true inwardness
of this gigantic steal after while, and
long before the next presidential election
comes along.
