THE year 1891 was one of much
prosperity. Not only the West and
South prospered to an unusual de-
gree during the past year, but the
great cotton mills of the East did
much better than usual. The his
tory of the mills for the past twelve
months fails to leave the calamity
ties any hook on which to hang
single howl. To begin with, the
mills have run almost continuously
on full time, and without any re-
duction of wages. Secondly, the
production exceeds that of the pre-
vious year by $4,000 pieces. Third
ly, the stock on hand at the close of
the year is 10000 pieces, as against
$4,000 for the previous year, show
ing an increase of 254, 900 pieces in
actual sale. Will not Mr.. McKin-
ley receive some credit for this last
year of prosperity?

REPUBLICAN editors in this State
had better look out for the combi-
nation that is being formed to give
the State into the hands of the
Democrats through organizing what
they are told will be "free coinage
of silver party" The Democratic
papers Of Nevada are all very en-
thusiastic for a free coinage party,
but admit that they do not think a
third party could elect President
of its nomination, but could defeat
any other presidential nominee who
is not in favor Of free coinage. 1t
is not very probable that the presi-
dental nominee of either the Re
publican or the Democratic party
will be in favor of the free coinage
of silver. What good then would
a third party be in the field that
had no show of winning. This is
a strong Republican State, and
third party would draw mainly
from the Republican ranks. This,
we believe, is the reason that the
Democratic papers are SO much in
favor of third party, although we
do not mean to insinuate that they
are not friendly to silver. Nevada
has always sent to Congress men
who have been in favor of free coin
age, and the majority of them have
been able advocates of the cause,
but not until six years ago, when
VIM. M. Stewart was sent to the
U. S. Senate by the Republicans of
this State, did the silver question
attain much prominence and come
to the front as one of the most i'm
portant questions of the nation.
Democrats of Nevada did very lit
tie towards sending Stewart to the
Senate, yet some of them are now
claiming that he is Democrat be-
cause he is so ably advocating the
silver cause. -Four years ago the
TIMES named him as it's choice for
President, and we would rather see
him fill that position than any
other man in the United States.
We are not in favor of third par
ty, whatever it might be called, at
the present time, for we want some
reasonable assurance of success
when a change is made. Democrats
have the power in Congress to pass
a free coinage bill tomorrow, if we
can believe what they say; let us
wait a little and see what they will
do. Although not in favor of a
third party, which would be styled
a Free Coinage Party, the TIMES is
for free coinage. We believe free
coinage bill will be passed at this
session of Congress, and are of the
opinion that the President will not
refuse to sign it. However that
may be, whichever presidential
nominee is the most favorable to
silver, according to our ideas, will
have us on his side next Fall. No
third party goes, though, for when
laboring for any cause we like to
be in where there is some kind of
show to win.

THE law makes many distinctions
in crime that are very unjust but to
change or amend law is always a
slow process. To say that the law
encourages theft may shock the
reader, but it is nevertheless true re-
garding certain kinds of theft. For
instance, you patent valuable in
vention. l deliberately and inten-
tionally steal your idea, which you
supposed fully protected by the
patent of the U. S. Government,
and put similar article upon the

ing your patent. Imake thousands
of dollars from the stolen idea, tax
ing care to put it where it cannot
be reached by any legal process.
You discover what l have done and
consult your lawyer as to how you
can have me punished. Can you
have me arrested and tried for theft
before the nearest police judge or
justice of the peace? No. Have
me indicted by the grand jury? No.
What then2 Your only redress is
to apply to the civil courts for an
injunction to prevent my continuing
the use of your property, and to
bring suit for damages for its past
use. I laugh at you, knowing that
you will never realize dollar from
your suit, because of your inability
