The following extract is from a letter
written by Arthur McEwen, q former
Nevada journalist, which was published
in the Virginia Chronicle. 1t shows some
Of the possibilities of this State:
Everybody who knows anything about
Nevada, aside from her mines, is aware
that she has q spendid future. 1t may
not, and in all likelihood will not, ever
begin to be realized during the lifetime OF
the present generation, but is is sure to
be achieved some time. Great valleys,
now barren, will be watered, and there
is scarcely a thing suited to the temper
ate and semi. tropical zones, that cannot
be grown in some portion Of the State.
Good tobacco has already been raised.
Cotton has been found in the prehistoric
groves OF Lincoln county. Experts have
said that vast coffee plantations will one
day stretch upon the southern plains
Flax Of the best grade has been produced.
As for minerals. nearly every one Of
them have been found, from salt to dia-
monds.
A State with such possibilities has in
deed been playing in hard luck when it ID
known to the world chiefly as a reserva-
tion for murderous miners, ruthless des-
peradoes and conscienceless politicians.

A PROPHECY BY LINCOLN i.

A prophecy made by President Lin
coin in a letter to a friend, near the close
OF the war, is now being circulated
among the labor organizations in Chicago.
After speaking OF the struggle which was
drawing to an end the President said:
at has indeed been a trying hour for
the Republic, but l see in the near flu
ture a crisis arising that unnerves me and
causes me to tremble for the safety Of
my country: As a result Of the war cor.
porations have been enthroned, an era OF
corruption in high places will follow and
the money power of the country will en-
deavor to prolong its reign by working
upon the prejudices of the people until
sl the wealth is aggregated in a few
hands and the Republic is destroyed.
feel in this movement more anxiety for
the safety Of my country than ever be-
fore, even in the midst Of war. God
grant that my suspicious may prove
groundless." Thousands Of slips have
been printed, and postal cards with the
prophecy on them have been sent broad
cast through the mail. No one seems tC
know who is the author Of the movement,
but all the labor organizations are flooded
with the slips and cards.

the policy as one Of the risks that the
company did not assume. Persons taxi

THE PRINCE OF WALES yEERED.

A London dispatch Of q recent date
says: During the parade in honor OF En-
peror William, while the procession was
on the way to the Thames embankment
at Ludgate Circus, where the rougher
element Of the city was collected, there
we're some exciting incidents. This rowdy
element had been getting up steam on
beer and gin for hours, and was prepared
to give the Prince OF Wales or anybody
else q warm reception. While waiting
for the heir apparent there we're a mum
Der Of lively scrimmages between hood
lums and the police, and when the Prince
Of Wales carriage appeared the mob was
in condition TO do unpleasant things.
When the carriage containing the Prince
and Princess of Wales passed through
Ludgate Cross it was driven at q rapid
pace and had passed the dangerous spot
before the main body Of the crowd was
aware that the Prince was in their midst.
As il was, however, in spite Of the pres
ence of the Princess, the Prince was
greeted with repeated outbursts Of jeer-
ing and "booing," which were slightly
set off by q few faint cheers. In the
face of this hostile demonstration the
Prince was apparently unmoved. The
reception accorded the Prince Of Wales
was in strong contrast to the hearty
ringing cheers with which the Duke Of
Connaught, his brother, was greeted by
the crowd as the Duke passed over the
same ground.

Il proved 10 be a long interview in which
Bardsley again went over the story OF
the Keystone Bank and stoutly main
tanned that be put the 100000 in the
bank but did not know what became OF
il. Bardsley said that Bank Examiner

gard to John Wauamaker, Bardsley said

they made q demand on Wanamaker,
which he refused, proposing that the La
cas- estate should pay him $4,000. Marsh
S25, 900 and the bank SIS, 600.
The lawyers then notified Wanamaker
that if the fraudulent shares were not de.
livered on q specified date they would re-
sort to legal measures. The shares were
then turned over without delay. Bards.
ley asserted that Wanamaker had made
a threat that he would see Controller
Lacey and have the bank closed before
they expected it. Postmaster General
Wanamsker was called before the COM
mittee and said he never pledged the
over-issued stock after he was told it was
over-issue, and il was out Of his hands at
the time. He said Marsh asked him to
assist the bank and he declined. As to
the story told by Bardsley about threats
to close the bank and that the lawyers
compelled him to return the stock, Wan.
amaker said 1t was absolutely false.
Bardsley also talked a great deal about
his connection in the past with several
prominent Philsdelphians and blamed
them for the stand they had taken
against him. Speaking of the scheme to
get the gas works from the city, Bards-
ley asserted that Colonel Mcclure Of the
Times was in it. Mcclure was to get a
big block Of stock for his advocacy in his
paper and was not to pay a cent for it.

The law with reference to microscopic

HIsH TARIFF TIN.

We are not much given to betting,
says the New York Herald, but we are
willing TO wager . cookie that within
three months the Republican papers will
yell in our ears that the price Of tin has
declined. They will probably be entirely
correct in this statement. They will also
hilariously attribute this decline in price
to the benefcent influence Of the p%rotec-
tive policy. In making that assertion
they will show that they are either ignor'
ant of the facts or haven't even q speak
ing acquaintance with the truth.
The new tariff en- tin plate went into
effect July /. In order to take advsn-
tage OF the market dealers have bought
up all they could lay their hands on.
The manufactures in Wales have been
worked 10 their utmost capacity TO I'LL
orders, and now that the pressure is over
a good many Of them will shut down.
Every steamer, the regulars and the
tramps, which had any chance OF reach
ing this port before July ! has been
loaded with this tin. Importers have
borrowed q pile of money in order to Sc
cure and carry q large stock.
Now for consequences. Big dealers
with plenty of surplus can hold their
goods for any reasonable length OF time,
but smaller dealers must realize at once
on their investment or they will become
embarrassed. Every merchant knows
Just how this thing works. II he is in
need Of ready money he cant hold on to
his stock at the higher price, but must
let it 20 for what it will fetch. In other
words, he must sell or he will 60 to the
wall.
The price will therefore tumble, and at
that juncture the protectionists will
scream for Joy and declare that the Nc
Kinley bill is positively overwhelming US
with prosperity. The truth is the price
will go down because the supply exceeds
the demand, and this lower price means
that some one is either ruined or is on
the edge of ruin.
So we rather think that our wager is
perfectly safe. We shall win il any one
is foolish enough to take the bet.

1t is not until a person has lost a
