The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1892-12-24

The DIsPArcH man is a novice in the
newspaper business if he imagines that
he can ever make II State Central Com
mittee show what they have done with
campaign fupds. The only safe way to
deal with political Central Committees
is to insist on pay in advance, and we
hope the experience of some OF our con-
temporaries this year will induce them
to keep this in mind.
The Appeal did some advertising for
the same Committee, but never even
presented its bill. 1t simply looked over
the names of the officers and charged up
the account to profit and loss.
The Appeal is certainly to the point
when it suggests that the only safe
way is to insist on pay in advance, but
1t weakens its arguments omewhat
by saying it simply looked over the
names of the officers of the Republican
State Central Committee and charged
up the account to profit and loss.
1t seems to us hat II glance at those
names settled the matter with him.
1t was not entirely II question Of Cen
trail ComLlittee that made him regard
il as time wasted to try and collect
the pill. 1t was the names that did
the work.
The Appeal maj has known them
for twenty years. 1t has not taken us
that length of time to know them. aud
we will always know them hereafter.
We will have the moral courage to say
what we know about them when they
come before us again. That Commit
tee does not owe the DISPATCH one
cent, but it does owe others in this
community, and that is why we
kicked.
The Nevada papers never had the
ba jkbone to stay together on the "pay
in nd vance' proposition. Some weak
kneed, pusilanimous cuss always de-
stroyed the combination. Each one is
afraid of the other, and the Central
Committee or somebody else play
them for suckers and call ii every
time. The Reno papers are talking
Rats now ON account of n two-bit job.

A Free Coinage Measure.

Senator Stewards silver bill, intro
duced last Monday, is an amendment to
Senator HIPS bill of the previous week.
1t is practically a free coinage measure,
and adds three sections to the bill of the
Senator from New York. Hill's bill re-
peals the section of the sherman Act
authorizing the purchase OF 1900, 900
ounces q month, and Stewards addition
revives the Act Of 1884 $ far as it relates
to making dollars, half dollars, quarters
and dimes OF full weight on a ratio of Is to
l; and makes all silver coin full legal
tender. 1t authorizes the holder of sill
yer bullion TO have it coined at the mint
and to receive coin therefor, or treasury
notes of the same character as those row
being issued under the Act OF 1890.
These notes are made ~redeemable in gold
or silver at the option OF the United
States and are legal tender for all debts,
public and private.

A Hustler Needed.

w. II. A. Pike should be the next
Speaker OF the Assembly. Ifhe succeeds,
that body will have an officer who will
keep business on the move, and that is
what is needed. PopuIarity-will not do
the work the people expect, and they
have their eyes on the members of the
10Th session. There are enough dead"
things about the general Nevada Legis-
lature without putting in some old moss
back as Speaker. The 10th session re-
quires a hustler, and w. H. A. Pike has
no flies GU him.

man who studies hard until he is twenty
n years of age, in order to get a classic
education, hasn't the ghost of a show in
