The Alliance papers in the East are
complaining because the Census Bu-
reau does not publish the farm mort
gage returns. One Of those papers, The
Great West, publishes an interview
with an employe in the Census De-
partment, whose father is an Alliance
man in Ohio, in which he is quoted as
saying that Superintendent Porter dare
not publish the returns Of farm mort
cages. He claims that a Cabinet
meeting has been held on the subject
and il was decided not to give the re-
turns to the public. 1t is the most APP
palling record ever disclosed, and it
will not be published as ii reached the
Bureau. New reports are being made
out and new clerks are handling them.
In time these doctored returns will be
given TO the country.
The Great West says there was
more talk upon the subject and what
was told by the employe in the Census
Office was sufficient to show that tle
Government at Washington is a lest
Of corruption breeding towards.

There is considerable talk among tax
payers Of ~contesting the Act creating
the State Board Of Assessors and
Equalization on the ground that it is
unconstitutional. 1t is believed that
the provisions Of the act conflict with
Article VIII, Section 2, Of the State
Constitution, which says:
CAN real property and possessory
rights to the same, as well as personal
property in this State, belonging to
corporations now existing or hereafter
created, shall be subject TO taxation
the same as property Of individuals"
And with Article Y, Section /,
which says:
1.-THE Legislature shall provide by
law for a uniform and equal rate Of as
sessment and taxation, and shall pre-
scribe such regulations az shall Sc
cure a just valuation for all property,
real, and possessory."
II is contended that the act creating
the State Board of Assessors does not
provide for q uniform rate OF assess
ment and taxation. Certainly O hori-
zontal raise of twenty per cent on all
property assessed by the County AS
SCISSOR at Its full value, except money
and railroads, is not a uniform and
equal rate OF assessment and taxation.

Utah. Mining Industry.

The Salt Lake Stock Report says
the exhibit OF minerals at the Fair
this year has had two good effects.
For one thing it has attracted a great
deal Of attention and served to edu-
cate and enlighten many in regard to
to almost unlimited slope OF utah's
mining industry. Facts about mining
have been given ont that will not soon
be forgotten by the thousands who ex-
amined the magnificent mineral col
lection at the Fair. As a result, a
greater interest will be taken in min
ing affairs and consequently more
labor and capital will be expended
in the development of our mines and
prospects. Then again, the exhibit
has created a feeling OF friendly rivalry
between mining men, and another
year will witness an exhibit that will
outshine the one made this season ten

SOUTH AURORA.

At a shareholders meeting Of the
New Consolidated Mining Company,
recently held in London, England, the
Chairman said: "Now with refer
ence to the South Aurora. The share
holders knew that at one time the
shares Of this company were worth
from el2 to eco. The property was
still there. All the silver properties
in that district were what is called
"pockety"-that is, there were no
veins, but silver was found in large
deposits. II was ten years ago that
the company gave up working these
properties. And they were right, be-
cause the price of silver was so low
and the cost OF working 30 heavy, that
the property would not have paid for
working. He was confident, however,
that at no distant date the price of
silver would increase, etc. lie did
not a. the South Aurora should be
worked at present, but he would tell
the shareholders that they had there a
very fine property, ETC."
The mines above referred TO are in
White Pine District, about 40 miles
from here and are reputed and known
to the writer to be OF great prospective
value. AS the cost Of mining and
treating silver ore in this section are
greatly reduced since ten years ago,
the New Consolidated Company
might do worse than to resume opera
tions on these mines.-[ED. SENTINEL.

Too Good 90 be True.

Hon. NJ. d. Foley returned last
night from Salt Lake and brings the
glad tidings that Salt Lake parties
have succeeded in placing two-thirds
of the railroad bonds in France to
build a road west from that City to
Deep Creek, this State, a distance OF
200 miles, and that a local company
would build the road the coming year.
Mr.. Foley says the general feeling

rails across Nevada and on to the west

that they all express themselves as be-

COLORADO SOUND ON Silver.

The following plank adopted as part
Of its platform by the State Republic
can Convention Of Colorado, has the
true ring on il on the silver question :
That the monetary condition of the
world during the last seventeen years
has demonstrated that demonetiza-
ton Of silver by the United States was
If not a crime, a stupendous blunder,
and that bimetallism is necessary to
the welfare and prosperity OF all COM
mercial people. We therefore, in the
interests Of the working and produc-
ing classes Of all countries, demand
the full recognition OF silver as a
money metal by the opening Of the
minis of the United States to the full
and unlimited coinage Of silver; and
we believe that such a step by the
Government OF the United States will
be followed by a considerable number
Of other nations, and such a course
will establish the ratio in silver and
gold existing at the time OF the de-
monetization OF silver by Germany in
1871 and the United States in 1878.
We denounce the pretence now being
made in certain sections Of the country
that the friends OF free coinage Of sill
yer are the advocates Of a debased cur
rency, as untrue, but on the contrary
we assert that there can be no stable
currency based upon either gold or
silver alone, and this has been de-
monstrated by the history Of the two
money metals for the past so years.
Because we are in favor OF sound and
stable currency, We demand the s Of
both gold and silver as money at a
ratio fixed by law, and that all paper
money shall be redeemed in gold or
silver at the option OF the Govern
ment; and that thus every dollar,
whether gold, silver OF paper shall be
of equal paying and purchasing

Wells Drury, OF the Sacramento
News, paid a visit to Nevada, last
week, and has the following to say in
his paper regarding the important sub
ject Of irrigation: "The water is
there. The land is there. Every
body knows that. The next thing is
to collect the money for bringing the
water to the land. l came down on
the same train with d. L. Bliss, and in
talking about irrigation he figured out
that the waters OF lake Tahoe yearly
running to waste down the Truckee
river, would more than suffice TO irri
gate the land in adjacent valleys, and
then the annual cost would be less
than one dollar an acre. The Hum
boldt river, the Carson river, the
Owyheee river and the Colorado river
can all furnish more or less water to
Nevada. l believe the time will come
when they will all be utilized to their
entire capacity. When that is done
the sagebrush State will have such an
era OF prosperity that the old timers
will be surprised that something Of
the kind was never attempted before"

the Irish leader met at Newport one OF
the reigning beauties OF the season,
that he fell in love with, and proposed
marriage to her, and was conditionally
accepted. But either the lady was tickle
or marriage with a foreigner was hate
full to her American parents, and she
married another. Parnell felt this
blow most acutely.

a cabin on his claim, and before he
could move in it was taken possession
of by a swarm OF bees. He smoked

two months he was obliged to tear the
