thing" Nothing is more easily under
stood.
We hear great deal said about IAN
honest dollar" distinction applied to
gold; also cheap dollar as applied
to silver. The pure fact of the matter
is that of all money gold is the most
dishonest. No other dollar steals one
half the laborer's produce and makes
him slave six months of the year. So
lar as the silver dollar is concerned, if il
is cheap what made it so? It was per
cent. above gold when it was traitor
ously demonetized in 1878 The gold
monopoly has cut silver's throat, forced
it down by legislation and now they
point at 1t in their villainy and cry
''behold the cheap dollar
The primary object of this disturb.
ance of our finances comes from the
bankers and bondholders. The former
are exercising their power at the pres
ent time to force the issue of bonds.
Unless this is done the national bank
will soon be a thing of the past, for
they can exist no longer than the
bonds on which they are based. The
bondholders follow this up with de-
mand that bonds be payable in gold,
and if these two classes of human vul-
lures win the American people Will
have saddled upon themselves debt
which they can never pay and which
would lay its whitening hand upon gen.
erations to come. A gold standard for
this country means Industrial slavery.
The bonds outstanding now equal the
total gold supply of the country. If
we are forced to gold standard we
cannot pay our bonded Indebtedness
alone, after allowing for the gold that
is boarded. 1t is not the purpose of
the bOndhOlders that we should do so:
they want to tasten upon US debt that
we cannot pay, the interest on which
Will make for them perpetual income
and the producing class of this country
perpetual slaves. The reasons of the
East for forcing gold basis are easily
understood, and should never be toler-
ated by the producers of the South and
West.

How is This.

Something unique even in these days
of mammoth premium offers, IS the lat
est effort of Stafford's Magazine, a New

subscription price; and in addition TO
send to each subscriber fifty-two COM
plete novels duling the twelve months;
one each week.
Think of it. You receive new and
complete novel, by mail, post paid.
every week for fifty-two weeks, and in
addition you get the magazine one a
month for twelve months, all for one
dollar. 1t is an offer which the pub
fishers can only afford to make in the
confident expectation of getting n hun
dred thousand new subscribers. Among
the authors in the coming series are,
Wilkie Collins, Walter Besant, Mrs.
Oliphant, Mary Cecil Hay, Florence
Marryat, Anthony TroIlope, y. Conan
Doyle, Miss Braddon, Captain Marryat.

you wish to take advantage of this un-
usual opportunity, send one dollar for

HERG is a bit Of beautiful irony
from the Kiowa Journal. 1t is so sell

for a man to understand, that the

gave their first annual ball at Music
Hall, Wadsworth, January 9th.
The grand march, music by the entire
band, was led by w. W. Geery and
Mrs. J: f. George. The attendance was
very large considering the u%npropitious
weather and everybody had a royal good
time. The supper was given by Mrs. E.
Fowler and the tables were loaded with
good things.
A large number went into supper and
all pronounced the repast excellent.
The fact that the guests did not have to
brave the chilling winds that cut to the
marrow, to get supper, but could step
from one warn room to another, was APP
preciated.
The affair was a success and we hope
that the next effort will be made when
good weather is at hand.
The band is highly spoken of by the
Wadsworth people and is fast gaining
merit for good music. The members
are popular as individuals and have the
well wishes of all who know them. The
DIsPATcH is proud OF the band and be-
lieves it has good reason Tor being SO.
M. Martin was door-keeper and after
sizing him up it would be a tough citizen
who would not do the needful if he de-

The toast "Senator Stewart, was ably
handled by the Speaker of the Assembly,
Hon. T. J. Bell. 1t is a work of love for
Mr.. Bell to eulogize Senator Stewart, as
he thinks him the greatest living states
man to-day, and he seldom makes mis-
takes, therefore his remarks came from
the depth of his heart and were as
smooth and eloquent as Bob lngersoll
could have delivered.
The next toast, "Francis G. New
lands" was responded to by Hon. w. II.
A. Pike of Washoe, the silver-tongued
orator of the present Assembly. With
such a subject as Mr.. Newlands and
with such an eloquent speaker as Mr..
Pike the speech could have been nothing
but a gem, as it was.
G. G. Powning of Reno then, to the
"Young Men of the Party" turned
forth such a flood OF eloquence and eulo-
gy, that many of the young men present
bowed their heads in reverence, and the
unmarried fellows uttered a silent wish
that their best girl could hear what was
being said. Mr.. Powning is one OF the
most pleasant and forcible speakers in
the state, and he was at his best, there
fore everyone present enjoyed his re-
marks very much.

Ohurch-Poem by Mrs. Eliza
bsth Ashby Dedicated to
Mrs. ] H. Whited.

'"The awful mystery of life and death
sends men to their knees now as in ages
past. They are as conscious as ever be-
fore that they are ~powerless to help
themselves, and that they must look
above for light and guidance"
Last Monday evening at Union
Church, Wadsworth, the Right Revern-
ed Abel Leonard, S. T. d., Missionary
Bishop of Nevada and Utah, admins
tered the Apostolic Rite of Confirmation
to:
Mrs. j. Ill. Whited, Master j. M.
Whited, Miss Bessie Whited, Mrs. J. W.
Smith, Miss Lille Hettenhausen, Miss
Eta Hettenhauseu, Miss Cecil Nc
Nevin, Master Howard McNevin, Mrs.
j. c. Foulks, Mrs. M. Evans, Miss Edna
Evans, Miss Grace Evans, Miss Edith
Evans, Mrs. j. Fellnagle, Miss Maud
Fellnagle, Miss Gertie Watson, Miss
Zue Geery, Miss Pearl Pike, Mrs. b.
Weaver, Mrs. VIM. Lamb, Miss Ada
Lamb, Miss Annie Blundell, Miss Maud
Blundell and Mrs. T. o. Berry.
The class numbered twenty-four, and
while Bishop Leonard does not remem-
Der, he says it was probably the largest
class ever receiving the rite Of confirma-
ton at his hands in Nevada. A. G..
Webb and n. A. Hummel were the ush-
ers and standing was at premiu m
1t is self-evident, however, that the res
ident minister, Rev. Chas. L. Fitchette,
has accomplished a great and good work
during his short stay here, and the e.
vents OF the evening spoke volumes for
his efforts.
The text from which Bishop Leonard
spoke was taken from the 5th verse of
chapter VIII OF Acts "Then Philip went
down to the city of Samaria and preach
ed Christ unto them"
He delivered an eloquent sermon, the
line OF thought and plain language used,
bringing him close to his appreciative
congregation. The ceremony was very
impressive and his homily to the class
contained grand and broad sentiment.
The men who gain high rank in any
profession which has to do with the
public are those who do not soar above
their hearers in lahgu age and thought.
Bishop Leonard seemingly recognizes
this and has a happy faculty of making
himself Zone OF u.s."
Owing to the untiring and ceaseless
efforts of Mrs J. H. Whited and her CO.
workers, Mesdames A. T. Clippenger,
J. Fellnagle, w. W. Geery, L. Voorhees,,
A. B. Weaver, A. j. Goldie,
and f. Sheply, improvements have been
made upon the interior OF Union Church
until it seems as if nothing more could
be done in that direction. A myriad OF
lamps furnish the lights, cheering car
pets cover the rostrum and the floor,
three arches of handsome scroll work
grace the front of the pulpit and choir
corner, and every convenience is in the
right place. On last Monday night it
was a bower Of beauty with fair flowers
and creeping ferns, and that our little
church is appreciated may be seen by
the following well-deserved tribute dedi-
Gated to Mrs. j. II. Whited by Mrs.
Elizabeth Ashby;
The church was the recipient OF a
handsome knee cushion; the gracious
and timely gift of Mrs. W. F. Hunt.
