NEVADA

ALTHOUGH Francis G. NewlanGs
and his family are now in Europc
for their health, and the time 70
the nominating of a candidate fel
Congress is near at hand, there i
not a doubt that the gentleman i
an aspirant for Congressional hon
ors. While Mr.. Newlands may no
make much of fight for the place,
his name will undoubtedly be put
before the Republican convention
which will shortly be held in Reno
Mr.. Newlands is a man who W
imagine does not desire to thrus
himself upon the people, but he
desires the office, we take it TO
granted, and will get in with the
balance of the aspirants and tai
his chances.
Mr.. Newlands is man of wealth
and influence, and his interests il
Nevada are very large. This nat
urally makes him take keen in
terest in the welfare Of the Stat
and there is no doubt that as
Congressman he would strain ever
nerve to pull our little State out
the Slough of Despond into whicl
it was thrown by the demonetiza-
ton of silver.
Without disrespect to Congress
man Bartine, we believe that Mr.,
Newlands is as well posted on I'll
silver question as any man in tt
country, and that his aim would
alwas be to further its interest. w,
think Mr.. Bartine has made as
good a representative as Nevada
ever had, but that Mr.. Newland's
influence would be greater there is
not doubt.
Mr.. Bartine has endeared him
self to the people of Nevada t.
such an extent that they would n,
doubt give him any position b
seeks, but with Mr.. Newlands as T.
candidate for Congress we believ'
Mr.. Bartine will think as others do,
that it would not be for the best in
terests of the State to defeat man
who has such large interests here
as has Mr.. Newlands.

In another column will be found
the call for a State Convention to
be held in Virginia City on the got
of next month to select delegate to
the National Republican Conven-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that Nevada
will send delegates to the National
Convention that will be pledged to
vote for no man for the Presidential
nomination who is not in favor of
free coinage of silver. Four years
ago our delegates told US they
thought Harrison was all right on
the silver question. He has been
all right as far as being against it
is concerned. Our delegates should
demand to know where the next
man they propose to nominate
stands on the silver question. If
he is against silver the vote from
Nevada should be solid against him,
whether it defeat him or not. There
is nothing in policy in this matter.
Harrison finally got the vote of
Nevada's delegation, and what has
he done for Nevada since? He did
not even deign to visit the State on
his trip to this coast some months
ago, and snubbed Nevadans in San
Francisco most beautifully. We
hope the Nevada delegation elected
to go to the National Convention
will not vote to nominate Harrison
or any other man who is not a free
coinage man out and out.

REPRESENTATIVE WALKER, of Mas
sachusetts, said in speech defend
ing the Mckinley tariff that if the
tariff were not in the interests of the
farmers and wage-workers of this
country, which was the lowest taxed
country on the face of the earth, he
would vote to repeal it and adopt
free trade. He presented figures
showing thatin one year, under the
present tariff, our foreign trade had
increased $406,000,000; 81 per cent.

THE Democrats of the House dc
not expect to succeed in repeating
the act to increase efficiency of our
ocean mail service, commonly
known as the Mail Subsidy" act,
and their only object in reporting a
bill providing for its repeal, and in
pushing it through the House, as
they will probably do, is to EN-.
barrass the Postmaster-General in
carving out at act.

SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.

All to Be Elected ON the Same Day---AD
Important Order.
A very important order has been is
sued by the Commissioner OF Education
changing the time Tor el6ctjne county
school commissioners throughout tile
state.
The order is interesting to all teach
ers and educators III Georgia, and a copy
OF it will be seat out to every county
school commissioner
The ORDER among other stipulations,
says:
The term Of office of all the County
School Commissioners expires this year,
and, with few exceptions. in March
April or May. In my judgement it is
necessary for the faithful and efficient
execution of the school laws with that
uniformity in the system required by
the constitution, and in the interest of
economy in time, labor and expense in
this department, that TIE examination
and election of all the County School
Commissioners of the State should be
held on the same day
For the reasons above stated, I hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, 10th
day of March next, as the day for exam
nation and election of County School
Commissioners throughout the stote.
While it is not the province of the de-
partment of education to Judge of the
eligibility or qualifications of appli-
cants for the Office of County School
Commissioner, yet it is proper that
should call the attention of the Boards
of Education to the great importance of
filling this responsible Office Too much
stress cannot be placed upon the duty of
taking into consideration in addition to
the satisfactory examination of the APP
plicants, their ''moral character, bust
ness qualifications and general availi-
bility."
The law makes the following require
ments:
Applicants must be citizens of the
couuty-not, necessarily, freeholders.
The examination must be satisfacto-
Unsatisfactory to the board.
1t is not competitive examination.

1t Was A FaIsehOod.

We clip the following from the Cuth-
bert LiberalEnterprise. The story of
minister in Kansas becoming suddenly
paralized in the pulpit has run riot in
Dawson as we'll as in other Georgia towns.
Our readers will be glad to know the
truth of the matter:
In several Of our exchanges we have
seen an article in which min; ster in Ne
koma, Kan, is reported to have become
suddenly paralized in the pulpit after
having asserted that Sam Jones was
better man than Christ. The article is
written up in sensational style and has
been read by thousands, no doubt, who
believ it to be true. A gentleman in
Cuthbert took it upon himself to write
two letters, one to the postmaster and
the other to any Baptist minister in Ne
koma, making inquiry as to the truth or
falsity of the report. The following is
one of the answers he received. The
other reply from the postmaster, denies
the story also
DEAR SIR: I am not the minister of
the Baptist church, nor is there any with
in twenty miles of here, but I will try
to answer your letter. There is no
church any nearer than ten miles of this
place. Nekoma has two stores and
school house and these houses are from
two to three miles apart There has been
no minister by the name of Ward here.
The day that this was said to take place
there was Free Methodist minister who
preached 1t is a lie, and the person
who publishedit ought to be paralized.
Mr.. Miller, the postmaster, got twenty
letters on this subject in one day, and he
gets that many and more every day. |
guess you viii have to be placed on the
sucker list. Yours Truly,
CHARLES IsBEL.

II would be very difficult to prejudice
a physician against the use OF Iodide Of
Potash. Every Intelligent medical stu

only objection to its use IN simple solu-
uons Is t1at it t.er9ngos the stomach and
effects the kidneys. Certainly its pro-
longed use in simple solution would do
more harm titan good, and for tits rea-
son many physicians recommend it ta-
ken with DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla.
When thus taken it leaves no evil after
effect and no Injury is done to the stom-

Senator Power Reiteratcs What He Has
 Previously Said About Justice Field.
 CmcAGo, Jan. 20 = United States Senator Thomas c. Power of Montana arrived at the Grand Pacific yester- day en route to Washington. The Sen ator is loaded to the guards with deci- sions of Justice Field of the Supreme court, in which the Senator claims Jus tice Field goes out of his way to favor the great railroad corporations of the West in the matter of land grants. Senator Power stands by all the charges he has made against Justice Field and in all probability he will on his arrival at Washington open up the fight against the railroad clique which he claims is scheming to have the con trol of the arable lands of the Western States turned over to the States. If the railroads can accomplish this, Senator Power says, they can control the States and secure any legislation favorable to their interests.

 ST. PAUL, Minn. Jan. 19.-The cold weather reported as on the way from the extreme Northwest has arrived and early yesterday morning the mer- cury in this city was down to 29 below once more with some reports of colder weather. The same report came from all over the Northwest, and there was but slight change in the figures as the day grew older.
 Minus figures are reported from all parts O. the northwest except La Crosse, where the mercury is at zero. Huron reports 16 below, and that was about the average for South Dakota. In Montana Miles City reports 22 be- low, which seems to be the ex- treme for that State, Helena only reporting 9 below. Fort Buford, N. D., has a temperature of 2s below, Bismarck 2s below, and other North Dakota points range from to 20 below. Across the line the range was from below at Calgary to 36 below at Q'Appelle, Winnepeg and Mendosa each recording 32 below. In this State the coldest weather bureau is St Vim cent, where it was 30 below at clock last night, but other reports from off cial sources give colder weather, al though the general range is from zero to 22 below.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 19.-Gen. Rus sell A. Alger has just returned from 8 visit to Washington, where he had several interviews with Secretary Blaine. The Detroit Tribune publishes an authorized interview with Gen. Alger on this subject. He said:
 Mir. Blaine said nothing to me that would furnish any indication as to whether he will be candidate for the Presidency or not. My impression is that Mir. Blaine would be glad to be re- lieved from the responsibility of his be- ing candidate, but if the Minneapolis convention shall demand that he accept the nomination believe he is too patri- otic to refuse. l am not authorized to speak for Mir. Blaine in any way and this is simply my personal opinion. But as have just said, feel confident that he will accept the nomination if it is rendered to him with practical unan- imity

Two officers who appeared at the front door of Henry's ranch were met by a woman armed with shotgun and made to stand back.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Henry Johnson of Peoria Gives His Wife Mortal Wound and Kills Himself.

PEORIA, Ill., Jan. 2O.-A terrible double tragedy occurred here last even- ing. About four months ago Harry Johnson of Chicago and Lizzie Laforce of this city, after courtship of two years, were married in Chicago. The man secured work with the Electric Light company in Chicago, but it was not long until he began to abuse his wife, a remarkably handsome woman about 20 years old. The poor girl en- dured the treatment for couple of months, when she left him and returned to her mother, a widow, who lives in Peoria. A week later Harry followed; since then he has endeav- ored to persuade and frighten his wife into again living with him, but she has steadfastly refused, as she was afraid that he would murder her. Yesterday at noon he called at Mrs Laforce' s house while his mother-in-law was absent, but Lizzie barred the door and refused to admit him. He returned again last night while the family was at supper and walked in, sat down, and began to converse with his wife. Mrs. Laforce did not suspect there was mur- der in Johnson's heart, and had gone downstairs on an errand, the supper room being upstairs, when she heard three pistol shots in rapid succession. She hastily ran upstairs and found her daughter lying in a pool of blood in one corner, while Johnson lay in an other. He had shot his wife once through the arm and once through the temple and then shot himself through the temple. Neither lived more than | an hour
