Takes the Right View Of Il.

A good many knowing ones, says
the Reno Gazette, think that John
w. Mackey would like 10 represent
this State in the United States Senate
and that he will shy his CASTOR into
the ring to satisfy his wife's ambition
TO become leader in English society.
II John should conclude to enter the
contest, he would have a strong fol-
lowing among the politicians. But
should the Comstock millionaire con-
clude 10 "run" the question most
likely to be asked is, "Whst has Mac
key ever done for the State 10 entitle
him to consideration of that import
auce 2" And 1t might be answered
by saying that he has done as much
as Senator'S Jones or Stewart has ever
done to bring us prosperity.

The Census Bureau has completed
the count of the farm and home
transcripts. There were returned to
enumerators 2.49l, $50 farms and
homes occupied by owners which
were incumbered by mortgages. This
includes some about which the innu-
merators made no report, and which
belong partly to a class owned free,
as well as to a class owned free and
incumbered. Until this unk nown
quality, due to the failure of the emu.
merators, is eliminated, 1t may be APP
proximately true two and quarter
of the twelve and half million fami-
lies In the United States occupy and
own unincumb ered farms and homes
and that ten and quarter million
families occupy farms and homes
either hired or owned free. The pro-
portion of hired and owned free
homes and farms will be known when
the population division completes the
count OF returns pertaining to them.

A mistaken idea prevails that the
free coinage OF silver is a new and
untried thing. But there is nothing
more mistaken or untrue, says the
National View.
Free coinage of silver in this coun-
try was an existing fact from the es-
adjustment of the mint in 1892 down
to 1873, not a great while ago, and yet
1t seems to have been forgotten.
So, you see, all we ask is to go back
to first principles. No novel, wild,
untried, visionary project. Nothing
of the kind. The people who cultiv-
ate and circulate this delusion have
missed the mark by large majority.
For eighty years free coinage has
proved It's legitimacy and soundness.
Surely it has the first right-the right
OF possession. And so, as against
gold, 1t has the rights of eminent do
main. II either mast have the cold
shoulder gold should be selected for
this purpose.
Free coinage Is not such terrible
thing, then, after all. The outcry
raised against IL is unauthorized by
the facts in The case. 1t Is purely
mythical and speculative. Worse
than cheap dollars, 1t is cheap argu-
ment supplied for this purpose, be-
cause there Is nothing better. In
short, IL has no solid foundation and
is good for nothing.
