The Peoples Party Paper OF At
lanta, Ga, is all wool and yard
wide. Here is one of the good
things it says:
Comrades, the lines are being
formed. The great rally OF the
people goes bravely IN. For home,
for civil liberty, for equality, the
masses are gathering for final stug-
gle, grimly-fired by zeal and nervcd
by a sense of right.
Every cottage gives forth its SOL
der. Every field, every mill, every
shop. Mighty is the power Of an
aroused people; but rendered to its
last anlysis the strength of the people
is the individual man.
The fires that burn around the
hearth are the lights that make q
nation great. The stout heart Of the
individuals make the serried ranks
of the multitude before whose resOlute
tread no tyranny can stand, no Unjust
prevail, no intrenchcd favOritism hold
its place.
As the individual citizen goes, the
Republic will go.
Every one of you is the Republic!
AS much as any other citizen what

No matter how poor your home,
how common your dress, how neg
lected your learning, you, comrade

The Kalioka Review mentioned the

The k6lIOka Review mentioned the
fact that Democratic office seekers
in Knox county announced their
candidacy in the republican paper.
That II not strange. Both the old
party leaders are working shoulder to
shoulder all over the country. Take
it in this county for instance: The
Democratic officials are just as careful
to throw public patronage to the Re-
publican paper rs their own. Then
each Of these papers see which can
beat the other IN incorporating
Peoples party meetings. Nothing is
said about each others party, unless
it be long puff about pro-
lection or tariff reform, which, are
PLAYED out issues, but the common
enemy, the Peoples party, comes in
for all tho abuse and SANDER that can
be used. The Kahoka editor should
make a few observations and the
strangeness of the alliance between
the Democratic and Republican party
meh will not be so wonderful.

Organized labor was given a slap
in the face by the Republican nation
al convention by the nomination Of
Nhitelaw Reed for vice-president.
Reed has refused to employ union
printers on his paper, the New York
Tribune. 1t is reported that when
Reed became aware he would be nom.
mated a bargain was made whereby
the Tribune would employ union
printers, but the recognition of
organized labor was delayed too long
to be of much benefit to the Re-
publican ticket. A laborcr who
votes for Reed deserves the pity OF
every free man in the Republic, by
bringing shame on himself and occu'

The SAVAGE MINE.
Report of the Investigating Committee
Excessive Railroad Rates.

Excessive Railroad Rates.
The report OF the investigating committee
of the Savage Mining Company was FLED
yesterday. The committee was appointed
last month and consisted of Directors Wells
and Mills, who visited the Comstock and
made a searching investigation Of every
thing in relation TO the mine. After going
into all the details Of the number of men
employed in the mine, their wages, the con-
tractors for different supplies, their cost
etc. the report goes on and says:
"Our investigation made tt very apparent
that the C0mStock mining industry was
suffering from an incubus of monopoly and
excessive charges. (Fhe water, lumber
and railroad companies maintain tha same
rates and compel the same tolls that
obtained at the most fOurishing period.) 1t
is notable that the cost of milling has been
reduced from S14 to S5 per ton, the rate
prevailing to-day, while the transportation
and other rates remain the same as those
charged in bonanza days. Comment after
this statement is unnecessary. II appears
to US that the time has come when drastic
remedies are necessary. Inacton means
suicide.
"lf milling charges can be reduced from
S14 70 s. per ton why cannot the rates for
railroad transportation, freight, lumber,
wood, water aud other expenses be proper
tiOnately reduced. especially at the present
time when the mining companies are CON-
PEELED TO pay such enormous discount on
their silver.
st seems strange that the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad, built as it was by the
donations Of the people and paying enor-
nous dividends for nearly quarter Of a
century, cannot now take the lead in this
necessary movement for retrenchment and
reduction of charges.
''The mines OF the COmstOck cannot pros
per under the double burden of enormous
discount on silver and excessive charges on
everything necessary for their operation.
We suggest that the company. through its
officers, join with other companies in the
Inauguration OF q combined movement look
ing toward organized opposition to the ex-
cessive rates and charges that are now pre-
yaiing and discuss some practical remedy
therefor"
Another meeting Of the board of directors
will be held on Saturday, when an en-
deayoT will be made to enter into an agree
ment with the Hale 81 NOrcross Mining
Company whereby work may in future be
done through one shaft. thereby greatly re-
ducing the expenses of both mines

THE Won SCHMIDT CONTEST.
FraternaI Dispute Begun in Judge
WaIlace's Court.

A FraternaI Dispute Begun in Judge
Wallace's Court.
Yesterday the case Of Julius II. von
Schmidt against Allexy W. Won Schmidt
which has been pending in court since Feb
ruary, 1887, was begun in Judge WalIace's
court. The suit is for an accounting Of
profits from patent dredging machines. The
plaintiff. according TO his evidence yester-
day. aided his brother TO invent a machine
on the understanding that he was to share
the profits therefrOm. The defendant
claims that plaintiff did not contribute 10
the invention in point, nor was there any
such understanding as that claimed; but
employed as a draughtsman to make repre-
sentations Of the machines, for which ser
vices he received pay.
The plaintiff. Julius Won Schmidt, was ex-
amined yesterday by his attorney, Mrs.
Clara F0ltz, two jurymen, Charles NJ. Yates
and l.. 5. Sherman. having been selected to
assist the court in regard to matters Of fact.
The witness detailed the nature of the in-
ventlonS and of his work in respect to them
He had been paid for his work as a
draughtsman in the matter, but not for his
contributory inventiveness while engaged
upon the designs. His brother had prom
ised him more money" If he would enj0in
his wife from pTOmulgating rumors 10 his
detriment. Witness claimed he was the iu-
ventOr and had allowed his brother.
AlleXy, TO take out the patent in his own
name.
The total amount OF profits of the ma
chimes Is doubtful. Rum0r has placed
them at over 100000, but the defendant

THE RISING MERCURY.

Hottest Day In Twenty-Five Years with
One Exception-Two More Days of 1t.
A hot spell struck the city yesterday and
the mercury kept climbing up till citizens
wondered when ii would stop. The unusual
heat was severely felt and the "Is-this-
hot-enough-for-y you" fend was out In full
force. People felt the heat bad enough
without having their feelings lacerated by
such an idotic question.
Lieutenant Finley, chief of the Weather
Bureau. was found about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon seated In his office aud looking as
II the heat didn't bother him much. To a
query as to whether the hot spell would
last for some davs he replied: Yes, it

peEatuTe-91-Tecorded here W thin the past
2i years, with the exception of the 22d OF
August. 1891, wheu IT rose to- 92.
The cause OF this hot spell is the high
naromeirlc pressure prevailing over Oregon.
Washington, Idaho and Nevada, which
shuts of the flow Of air inland from the
ocean. The abnormal amount of air In that
region Is the result of changes in the at
mOsphere The air Is all banked up and all
the flow OF air from the ocean inward is
cut off. Instead. therefore, of having west
erly winds we have now nOrtherly winds
which keeps the air very quiet over the
State aud heats uD very rapidly. In addi-
tlon we have the superheated air of the
alkali plains and sand deserts Of Northern
Nevada and SOutheaste IN Oregon.
