Death Of Ex.sherin kias.

We see by the papers that James
Sias, an ex-Sherif OF Eureka county,
died in Arizona on the 2lst Of the
present month, Of paralysis Of the
stomach. He left here about eleven
years ago, and settled in Arizona,
where he resided until the time OF his
death. After going to Arizona he
filed several important local Offices,
and was at the time Of his death, we
believe, q member OF the Territorial
Legislature. He leaves a wife and
four children. Tie deceased was a
pioneer resident and business man Of
Eureka and was always highly re-
spected by this community while he
lived here. He was tolerant OF the
opinions Of others and possessed a
warm and generous nature. These
attributes are never wanting in a good
man, and that is what James Sias was.
Peace to his ashes.

societies of which he is q member and
had a good time generally, making
many friends by his courteous manner
and genial disposition. Mr.. Huffaker
impressed our people as being . good

The N asQuerade

The masquerade ball given at the
opera House last night by the Daugh-
tiers of Rebecca was a brilliant social
The attendance was large
considering our reduced population,
and the occasion was ono OF rare jolity
and pleasure. Some OF the characters
were both striking and original, but
the hour at which this paper is forced
to go to press in order to
catch the outgoing mails, precludes
an extended or detailed description at
the present time. We may publish
the full list with additional comments
next week. II is enough to say now
that the Daughters Of Rebeccs are
commended on all sides for the very
excellent manner in which they
managed this social affair.

The New Camp.

Mr.. II. White, writing to the Reno
Journal from the new camp of Mont
gomery, says the Chispa mine is de-
v%eloping exceedingly well. Three
shafts are down approximately 100
feet each and two OF them connected
at the bottom in ore. An average
sample taken from the lowest drift
showed an assay value Of $40 per ton.
The entire mine will pay a handsome
profit over the cost of milling. Our
old fellow-townsman, NJ. B. Bartlett has
purchased an interest in this mine,
and is experimenting the work Of
development. We are glad to learn
that "Barts' prospects are so good.

The great Anaconda and Chambers
Syndicate mines at Butte, Montana,
have resumed operations after q shut
down of many months. The mines
had trouble with the Montana Union
railroad about the cost Of transport
ing the pres from Butte to Anaconda
where they are smelted. About 1900
men have just been put to work in the
mines and as many more in the re-
duction works. The people Of Butte
and Anaconda are in high spirits yer
this favorable turn in affairs. II is a
good thing for a vast number of labor
ing men and their families that the
trouble has been settled. A severe
Winter in the north with no work is a
hard thing to face.

Eureka county losses money under
the new law on the taxes OF the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Company. Last
year the road was assessed in this
county at s5e7, 161, on which the COM
pany paid in taxes s17 1914 SO. This
year the total assessment, or valuation
by the State Board OF Equalization,
With the 5 per cent raise included, is
s54s, 459 so, on which the company
will be required to pay in taxes the
sum OF $3.50 81. In other words the
Central Pacific pays in Eureka county
1887 90 less taxes this year than
last. The above are the official figures
from the books OF the County Auditor.
We notice that Elko and Washoe
counties claim to have lost On Central
Pacific taxes under tine new system
500 and 5000 respectively. With this
showing Il Is difficult TO see where the
boasted increase OF railroad taxes as
made by the State Board, 10 to come
from. Humboldt, Churchill and
Lander are the only counties through
which the railroad passes to be heard
from.

PRESIDENT ELIOT ON FINANCE.

Considerable comment has been provoked
by the fact that President Eliot, of Har-
ward, took occasion in an address to the busi-
ness men of St Louis to urge the inculca-
ton of sound economic views, especially on
the subject of finance. While some of the
Western expressions of opinion find fault
with the President for urging views sup
posed to be antagonistic to the trend of
popular opinion, Eastern journals unite in
saying he was quite right in seizing the
opportunity to create opinion in favor of a
staple and sound currency.
This is indisputably correct: but it over
looks the point that President Eliot should
be impartial in his maintenance OF economic
truth, and that he might find field for COM
batting economic heresy nearer home than
St. Louis. To make education of value,
educators should be prompt to improve all
opportunities to apply its principles to mat
tiers affecting the public. This is especially
true with regard to matters of political
economy; and an educator of high reputa-
tion and wide influence would be untrue to
ence against the tendency to alter the stand
ard of values, and to juggle with the me-
dium of exchange in order to favor debtors
at the cost of creditors.
But economic vagaries are not confined to
the West, and it may be pertinently urged
that a field more especially belonging to
President Eliot is to be found in the tnan-
Dial centers of the East. If the Harvard
President would take an early opportunity
to address the financial magnates Of Wall
street, and to tell them that the idea of re-
iusing an initiation of the currency as asked
by the West, while demanding one for the
express benefit OF Wall street speculators is
logical contradiction, he would demon
strate his impartiality. If he would tell
them that the theory of suspending competi-
tion for the benefit of the strongest and
greatest concentrations of capital, while
maintaining it against the common people,
is greater ofense against true political
economy than any of the Western vagaries,
he would show that his desire for economic
truth is not limited by sectional prejudices
or hampered by respect for monetary great
ness.
We shall hope to see the President of
Harvard take an early opportunity of COM
batting in Wall street the economic vices of
stock initiation. manipulation of the market
in the interest of the money kings and
nonopolistic devices for concentrating
wealth in the hands of favored classes. By
SO doing he will place the economic position
Of Harvard above suspicion.

AN uNABAsHED AGENT.

One OF the vices of our political system is
illustrated by the report that the Indian
agent whose ineficiency caused the outbreak
at Pine Ridge, and who was removed on
that account, is now being pressed for reap
pointment with good prospects of succeeding.
1t is manifest that if he is reappointed it
will be solely to satisfy the political exigen-
cies of the two South Dakota Senators.
Senatorial needs which call for starving the
indians and provoking costly Indian wars,
are very expensive; but they are entirely
in harmony with the political theories
that place practical politics above integrity
and efficiency in the administration of pub
lie affairs. Nevertheless the practical poll
tics which cause such troubles as that with
Sioux Indians may prove the worst politics
in the world.

BISMARCK AS AN ARBITRATOR.

The report that Bismarck has been asked
TO act as arbitrator in the Bering Sea DIS
pute between this country and England is
evidently premature. At present matters
are not in condition for arbitration, and
hardly Will be for some time. There are
formaIities before the appointment OF an ar
bitrator is possible, even after arbitration
has finally been decided upon, and, in the
BeriDg Sea disputes, this latter stage is not
yet reached. But when the agreement to
arbitrate is made, there will l-be doubts of
Bismarck's fitness for judge. An arbitra-
Tor, to give perfect satisfaction, must be
friend of both parties to the dispute. He
upon either, and he must not be interested
in currying favor with either.
All these conditions are lacking in Bis
marck. He is not a friend ofEugland or of
the United States. He has, or supposes that
he has, grievances against both countries,
and, if he acted as arbitrator between them,
might think himself justified in their e1-
preston. This he could easily do by settling
the matter in a way unsatisfactory to both
countries and rendering necessary the doing
OF the whole work over again. He is also
interested in currying favor with England,
and might let his hopes of political advance
ment overcome his dislike to that country.
In the latter case he would, of course, not
do Justice to the United States.
The foregoing does not make Bismarck out
to be man of judicial temperament. He is
not His whole career has shown him to be
man Of one idea. and men of one idea can
