| am not a racing man, and there
fore looking at others through myself
after the manner of my kind l did moi
imagine that | should be delayed on my
journey homeward by the fact that the
day of my return was the great day at
F races.
A fortnight of my summer holiday
had been devoted to fly fishing on GER
tain well preserved streams in north
Wales. had fished from the bank, |
had waded through mountain torrents,
and every evening had come back tired
and happy, and laden with silver brown
treasures, jeweled with specks of am
Der and vermilion.
And now the nets were up at sea and l
was waiting, waiting for the great salm
on that were surely hurrying toward me,
For days / had pictured their coming,
had stood by pool through which they
must pass, had studied the fly, CANDY,
but not too gaudy, with CLINT of pea
cock amid its pheasant's coloring, and
one touch of crimson in the silk which
bound it. which no salmon of any curl
0sity could resist.
And just then, just when had heard
of fish six miles below me, when weather
was perfect and long patience about to
be rewarded, a telegram summoned me
home and blackness settled upon every
thing.
The landlord sympathized with me at
the little Anglers inn, where | was
staying, but when told him the serious
nature of my telegram he did not like to
refer to the pleasures that awaited me
if remained, but only pointed out the
dangers on my path if left, Those
dreadful F. races"
One train only would get me to. Lon

THE friends of silver are remark
able workers. Two uncompromising
mono metal papers, the Washington
Post and the New York Recorder,
came out this week fatty in favor
of the white metal. Whatever argu-
ments may have been used to con-
vince these journals of the error Of
their way, there will always remain
a grave certainty that it was not
silver, Post.
The Post, which claims to be a
free coinage advocate, probably in
tends to intimate that the journals
mentioned were purchased to make
the change of sentiment.

Mr.. VEST is seemingly a free
coinage man. He is opposed to the
repeal of the Sherman law unless
there is some more friendly act
passed for silver. But how does
Mr.. Vest stand on the ratio that the
gold bugs want changed? Many
converts are being made for free
coinage, but are they the right kind?
A man who claims to be a free
coinage advocate is not to be relied
upon for any good solid work until
he comes out squarely and says that
the present ratio of 16 to 1 is what
we mean by free coinage. This
may be dodge that some gold men
are playing. They can easily say
that they are free coinage men, and
then advocate a ratio that will not
allow an ounce of silver to be pro-
duced.

SENATOR LODGE has introduced a
resolution directing the Finance
committee to report at once a bill
for the repeal of the silver law, and
providing for a vote thereon August
22d. The Democratic Senators
held two caucuses in one day TO ar
range a programme, but they did
not succeed in getting any further
than the appointment of steering
committee, with Senator German at
its head. This committee is charged
with the duty of keeping the major
ity out of trouble and of trying to
devise some plan to be reported to
another caucus that will keep the
Democrats together. Of the five
members of this committee, two
Ransom, of North Carolina, and
Gray, of Delaware-are uncondit-
ional repeal men, and two-Voor-
hees, of Indiana, and Blackburn,
of Kentucky-for repeal ON condi-
ton that some substitute providing
for the use Of silver money be pro-
vided, and one-Gorman-is on the
fence. 1t is said that Democratic
Senators were loud in their abuse of
Mr.. Cleveland at the first caucus,
calling him a traitor to the party, etc.

IT would seem that it is poor pol
icy for the silver men to agree to
any compromise suggested by the
gold bugs. The latter do not want
silver at any ratio or in any way
except such a one as will allow
them to speculate with it. If they
believed they could secure the re-
peal of the Sherman law uncon-
-ditionally they would make no sug-
gestions to compromise; but they
know this cannot be done This be-
ing the case, does it not show that
the silver men have the upper hand?
We believe that now is the time to
fight the issue to finish. Ifsilver
is totally demonetized there will be
such crash in the east that the peo-
pie will very soon be willing to come
into the silver ranks in such num-
bers that nothing can prevent the
party from putting its own men in
positions where they can handle the
question to suit themselves. Then
we will have free coinage. Fight it

THERE are two nuts the financiers
have not yet cracked. One is the
entire parity in circul alton between
silver certificates, which are not re-
deemable in gold, and other kinds
of currency. These certificates call
for nothing except silver dollars,
and yet they have, Notwithstanding
the stringency supposed to be due
to apprehension of a silver standard,
brought a premium in the market.
They are as eagerly snapped as the
Treasury notes which are being re-
deemed in gold.
The other puzzle is the financial
calmness of Mexico under a single
silver standard, While European
bankers and United States invest
ment managers are talking of silver
as If any country where 1t is freely
coined is on the declivity of destruc-
ton, Mexico goes along with her
377-grain silver dollar and has not
yet had a bank failure.
Why are these things thus? 1t
may be suggested that our gold adj
vocates have not exhausted the cur
rency problem.-St. Louis Republic.

THERE is general disappointmel

THERE is general disappointment
because Mr.. Cleveland failed in his
message to recommend a substitute
for the Sherman silver law. 1t
looks as if he was afraid to put
himself on record. 1t is every day
growing more evident that some
thing must be put in place of it, if
the silver law be repealed. State
ments are made which indicate that
the reason Mr.. Cleveland recon-
mended no substitute was that he
wished the first move for a COM
promise to come from the silver men.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
[For further particular see Records. |

There was deed recorded in the Recorders
Office Of Lyon county, Nevada, at Dayton, on
the 18th day of March, 1898, purporling to con-
vey certain placer mining ground in Sec. 16,
TIP. l6 n, r. u E.. NJ D. NJ, at Johntown, Lyon
county, State of Nevada, wherein Manuel
Francisco Ross is made the party of the first
part and Ed Powers and Andrew Charles the
parties of the second part. Said deed convey
ing said placer mining property was never
read to me, consequently could not know the
contents thereof, as by law required although
a request was made to do so by said grantor as
he is not an educated person, being unable to
read or write. 1t was subsequently ascertained
by having the deed read on record, that the
smount mentioned therein as a consideration
for said mining property was twenty dollars
t$2O)-being about 10 per cent. of the valne of
said property-which said twenty dollars has
never been paid, nor any part thereof, not even
the sum of one dollar as required by law.
Therefore, according to the laws OF the State
of Nevada, said deed to said placer mining
property SO conveyed is null and void and OF
no effect whatsoever, and said property so
decided reverts back to its original owner and
grantor, Manuel Francisco Rosa, as well in law
as in equity, since no covenant condition or
stipulation contained in said deed of convey
ance has ever been complied with according to
law.

Postmaster General Bissell has de-
cidcd to abandon the three sizes OF
postal cards now in use and to sub
stitutc one size for both single and
reply cards. With that purpose in
view the specifications which have
been sent TO prospective bidders for
the contract of furnishing the postal
service with cards during the next
four years call for single cards OF the
uniform size of So bv Sd inches.
This is what is known as the interna-
tionaI size, it being used generally by
the countries comprising the intcrna-
tional postal union. The double or
reply card now in use will be cantin-
ued, with the size when folded reduce
ed to that of the international card.
These two cards will take the place
of the small or ladies card and the
large return card.

Sing. sweet; 1t Is the twilight hour
Thy voice brings rest and peace,
And unto thee Is given the power
To bid all dtscoEd cease.
Let day fade with its load of sorrows;
Now Is enough for me;
care not for the coming morrows,
For they may Danish thee.
Oh, that this eve could last forever.
Ambition's sun be set,
For with thee near my heart would never
The busy world regret.
Only count us as Loves immortals;
Let each be one in soul;
Bid Night halt at the western portals
And Death collect no toll.
Then twilight would be frauEht with
Gplendor,
Bathed in Faiths golden stream,
And each to each all lovo would render
Sing, sweet, and let me dream.
