Cosumnes Tribe. No

Costumes Tribe, No. IL, 1. o. r. NJ.
At the last council sleep" of Cosumnes
Tribe, No. IA, Improved Order of Red
Men, the following officiating Chiefs were
elected for the ensuing six moons:
Prophet, NJ. j. Lamb; Sachem, Nat
Holmes; Senior Sycamore, Abe Wilson;
Junior Sycamore, j. II. Meredith.
During the term just closing the tribe
has in many ways shown its prosperity,
1t recently celebrated its twenty-fifth
anniversary, and in many ways has
shown the success that is attending it.
The tribe has the honor of having in
cluded in its membership three Great
Sachems, who are charter members, and
one of whom, being resident of this
city, is still regular attendant and an
active member. The outlook for the
ensuing six moons is very encouraging,
and with the newly elected set of officiat-
ing Chiefs, who believe in making their
tribe the banner one, there is reason for
expecting great success.

I once saw the results Of thoughtlessness
very rapidly follow the building of a fire.
Near the fort in northern Montana where |
was stationed there was a large ranch on
which the owner was growing grass for hay;
part of the grass had been cut and was ly-
ing on the ground, and some was still
standing. Hay was worth about thirty dol
lars a ton. and all the hay on this ranch was
to be delivered at the fort.

gone to his barn, and on the way saw a
large rattlesnake moving off through the

in the field some time before. Excited by
the pursuit. he heaped cut grass ovl + the

WHEN you ask bolter what he
has against President Harrison he
can't give you any answer.-Gdzette.
Can't he? Let us see. Four
years ago Mr.. Harrison was elected
on platform that contained what
some politicians told the people a
free coinage plank. Up to within
a few months he has never intima-
ted that he has ever considered the
silver question of any importance
whatever. For campaign purposes
he has dug up the old international
bimetallic conference dodger, and
expresses himself in doubtful
sort Of way in favor of the coinage
of American silver. By his silver
policy he has sanctioned the rob
berry Of the silver producers by the
government Of over thirty per cent.
of their products, He has caused
the homes of thousands of people
in the silver producing States to
be abandoned. His policy caused
the loss to the silver producers last
year of over $11 100000, and loss
of over forty times that amount to
the other producers in the United
States. He came to this coast last
year, but studiously avoided this
State, not thinking it worth while
to come and see of what magnitude
our industry was. Yet, Republi
cans are urged to stay with the
party and Harrison! What did he
ever do for Nevada? Nobody can
name one solitary act of his that
has shown that he recognizes that
there is such place in the world
as Nevada. Still, we should not
kick, we have no cause to, because
his policy protects every industry
in the country but that of silver
mining. These few things are what
we have against Harrison, and why
we predict that he will not receive
the electoral vote of this State.

SOME weeks ago dispatches told
us there was shortage of silver in
Austria. and that that country
would have to purchase silver to
coin small change. This week the
news comes that Italy is very short
of silver, and steps to remedy the
cnndition of things are to be taken
at once, which means probably that
Italy must also purchase silver.
Well, those countries can get all
they want of it in this country, at
the market price. Our treasury
vaults are full of silver dollars that
have been boarded up for the past
twenty years by the government;
and should that supply give out
they could draw on the Carson
Mint, where there are over two
million dollars stacked up.
1t appears to us that the hoard
ing of silver money in this country
has been brought down to a very
fine system by the government.
Right here in the silver producing
State of Nevada it is hard work to
get $20-piece changed into silver.
We have two million dollars in sill
yer in our mint and the employees
of that establishment are paid off
in gold. What does it mean? Is
it q fact that the Superintendent of
the mint has instructions from
Washington to pursue this policy
for the purpose of creating a preju-
dice against the silver dollars?

EVERY few days there is news Of
a draft Of miners in some of the
Comstock mines, and in some cases
the mines are suspending operations
altogether, and should the present
condition of things exist much
longer there will be a general cessa-
ton of business in that city. This
state of affairs is not due to the lack
of ore in the mines, but is caused
by the low price of silver. What
do the miners of the Comstock pro-
pose to do this Fall? Win they
continue to vote for the old parties
who are opposed to the only thing
that will relieve them-free coinage
or will they show spirit enough
to act independently, and say by
their votes that Nevada is for free
coinage first, and will consider the
wants Of other States next? This
can be done only by voting for
Presidential candidate who is pro-
nounced for free coinage. Vote for
none other.
