The last point visited By the committee
was the lake at the New reservoir. There II
was ascertained that tor the first time
Yesterday the lake had been supplied
with fresh water from the New reservoir
in accordance with resolution passed
recently by the City Council. At .
o'clock yesterday morning the water was
turned on through twelye-inch supply
pipe and was kept running all day. while in
the evening the supply was decreased 10 "A
two-inoh pipe used as feeder. Hundreds OF
fish Of all sizes could be seen all day playing
around the mouth Of the supply pipe aud
many a fisherman who witnessed the rather
unusual spectacle felt sorry that he could
not indulge in the sport Of fishing at that
point.
Owing TO the lateness of the hour the
committee did not hold any meeting last
evening. but after the chairman had been
authorized TO sign the payroll IL was de-
cided that the committee should meet this

HON. WILLIAM. m. STEWART.

One Of the most important matters to
come before the next Legislature will be
the election of a United States Senator
to succeed the Hon. VIM. NJ. Stewart.
We understand, says the Austin Rev
ellie, that there are three or four gentle
men aspiring to the position, who are
men Of ability and would represent this
State very creditably in any position.
But honor to whom honor is due. The
vigorous and unceasing efforts Of Senator
Stewart on behalf of his constituents,
against the gold kings of Wall street
and for the full restoration of silver have
Won the admiration Of the masses from
Main to California. He has been the
champion and leader in the U. S. Senate
Of the question Of paramount interest,
not only to Nevada, but the whole Pacific
Coast. He has been at his post watch
ing the enemy when others have been
wasting their oratory on the contaminas.
ing air of Minneapolis or Chicago in vain
hope Of enlisting some doubtful quantity
to contest for the Pre- ,idency. He has
been faithful to the people of Nevada
and the important trust reposed in him
six years ago has been borne with in
creasing honor alike to himself and his
constituents.
At this stage Of affairs this State IAN
not afford to lose the services Of such 9
tried. brilliant and aggressive leader. and
when the proper time comes, there is moi
the least doubt but that Senator Stewart
will be reelected to serve the people Of
Nevada another term of six years as
United States Senator.

GOLD N SILVER.

What relation did the mine owners

tized? Was ii demonetized because the
owners Of the mines were making a good
thing out Of it, One would suppose from

above class was then and is now the en-
CINE which moves and continues to move
the whole operation. How about the
owners Of gold mines! Suppose they
had been placed by legislation in the
position that the producers OF silver now
occupy, would il bel hardship to any
one to restore them? Wasn't the eleva-
tion Of gold by the degradation Of silver
in the interests Of the former to
the prejudice Of the holders OF the lat

IL is so hard to be honest and deal hon
estly with any question involving
self interest. Why don't the plutocrats
and %henchmen come out and oppose free
silver upon the true basis Of which their
opposition is predicated-i. e. the making
and keeping money scarce, so that the
controllers Of its volume may obtain the
largest profits? They are trying to make
the people believe that there is but one
side to this great question and that their
side is the only side. when the truth is, it

The Democratic party passed in their
regular convention the nomination OF

lands appointees, and three or four K
employees Of the mint under Cleveland,
with a proxy or two, got together and
nominated what they style a Democratic
electoral ticket, and nominated a candi-
late for Congress and candidates for Re-
gents Of the State University, and no
doubt the Secretary Of State, sympathiz-
ing with these gentlemen, will recognize
them as the regular Democratic
party Of Nevada and place the names on
the ticket, because these men, these gold
bugs and these tools Of gold bugs are all
in sympathy. They are as thick IS
thieves. The result will be that we will
have to place the choice Of the Silver
party Of Nevada in nomination by GER
tiicates-that is, we must name in these
certificates (more familiarity styled petit
tions) the names of the parties we de-
sire to nominate for the respective offices
from electors down, including members
Of Congress, Regents of the University
and Judge OF the Supreme Court.
Now, while this convention was not
called for the purpose of making these
nominations, it seems to me that it would
not be calculated TO introduce any fes
ture that would produce a lack of har-
nony for us at least to express to the
people our views thereon, and suggest to
the people that by certificate they place
their choice for nominees in the field.
We express our preference, the people
make their choice, and my word for it,
whenever they come to make their
choice, il will be made for men who will
openly, in a manly and courageous man
uer, announce that they are in favor Of
the election Of Weaver and Field for
President and Vice President Of the

JUST ACROSS TIL LINE.

In persuing the Republican daily pa
pers Of California n finds no mention OF
the Silver Tor People'sI party whatever.
They are dumb on the fact that there is
q Third party in the present campaign
which is likely to come out with . plural.
ity Of the votes cast in the Golden State
this year. The Truekee Republican comes
to the front with this little ~admonisher,
which shows how the small, still voice
is being felt in our neighboring Nevada
county: "The nominees Of the Peoples
party do not propose 10 let the campaign
go by default. They intend to begin
work next Saturday night with NAM
month outdoor meeting at Grass Valley,
to be followed next week by o similar
meeting at Nevada City. All the county
nominees will appear and make brief
speeches. The people will have abund-
ant opportunity to size up the timber
which the new party presents, and, if we
mistake not, the result will be the cleo
ton Of the entire ticket. The meetings
at the two principal cities will be fol.
lowed by meetings in every precinct in
the county. The candidates will not 90
around in q body, like q travelling circus,
but will visit each place in parties of two
or three. This will give more meetings
and better opportunity for each nominee
to prove his capabilities. The majority
Of them are good speakers, and can give
an excellent account Of themselves and
the principles they advocate. II they
win it will be because the voters OF the
county appreciate their worth and the
necessity that exists for overwhelming
the corrupt parties which are running the
country and enslaving the workingmen.
There will be no slack, no hilarious de-
bauchery in saloons, no fireworks, no
bribery, when they visit towns. Such
things are in perfect keeping with the
principles Of the old parties, but would
i'll accord with the teachings Of q politi-
cal creed founded upon purity, human
ity and the rights OF a poverty-stricken
people. The county nominees, without
exception, are poor men. In fact, the
rich have no use for the Peoples party.
Its battle cry is, Down with the plutoc-
racyl Its banner bears the motto:
Humanity is more sacred than wealth.. T"

FRANTIC.

The gold bug press and the rump Of
the Republican party are frantic because
Hon. Francis G.. Newlsnds refused TO &C.
cept the nomination Of the hands Of an
anti harrison convention for Congress
man.
Mr.. Newlands, ever since the st. Louis
convention Of the friends Of free coinage
which met some years ago, has been al.
most constantly engaged in the work Of
the silver cause. He has contributed
thousands Of dollars to the national CON-
mittee. appointed by that convention to
aid in circulating silver literature aud in
organizing the silver sentiment through
out the country east and south Of the
silver producing States. The by
pocrisy OF the convention, and OF the
men who profess to be in favor Of free
coinage Of silver and at the same time
advocate the election Of q gold bug for
President, was SO apparent. and their
nomination OF him for Congress such an
insult to his well known silver views,
that he treated them with that contempt
and disgust with which they are treated
by every honest and earnest man in the
State. Knowing as they did that Mr..
Newlands is, and has been for years, the
earnest advocate Of free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the present ratio Of
l6 to |, and stands in the front rank OF
silver advocates in America, and that
Harrison is an unconpromisiDg foe to
the measure and has q power to defeat q
silver bill equal to 239 members OF Con-
gressI in passing it. il was a high-handed
insult to Mr.. Newlands to have his name
ever mentioned for Congress by any
body OF men who favor Harrison's re-
election; and now, because he would not
stultify himself. prove himself to be q
traitor to every industry in the State,
and insult the intelligence, the manhood
and self respect Of the people by accept
ing a nomination on a gold bug ticket, he
is the subject Of the utilization Of a
villainous and vituperous press. But as
the character, or rather the want Of
character, OF such press is we'll known,
il is harmless Silver State.
