On the inside of this issue will be
found Judge Webb's review of the
partisan decision of the District
Judge in the Gum case at Topeka;
the results of the trial before the Su-
preme court, the POpulist side, the
question of issuing new bonds and
other articles which every voter
should read. Keep posted and never
let the facts escape your minds from
now until the next election.

Readers Of the plutOcratic paper,
will notice articles running in theil
columns in regard to the money ques
tiOn, with fattering editorials of t.
authors and the articles referred to-
1t is brazen, desperate scheme to de,
ceiye the people. These articles come
from the gold-bug syndicate and are
undoubtedly paid for at a liberal price,
the intention being to educate" the
voters or enough to keep up division
in the lower classes, to the goldbug
view of the money question. Papers
that will lend themselves to such
contemplate work ought to be repu-
dated and kicked out by all liberty
loving citizens. They are traitors to
their country.

Judge Ray left his bench a few days

The editor of the Monitor talks
like a silly child about the silver pur-
chasing act and shows his dense ig-
Torrance of the question by claiming
it Republican measure that was
fought and opposed by the Pepulists
and Democrats. The facts are, the
Republicans, led by John Sherman,
were attempting to deal a death blow
to silver and that is what the Demo-
Gratis and PopuliSts fought. Then
seeing that he had been a little too
fast and fearing the passage of a free
coinage measure, old John Sherman
came forward with the silver purchas-
ing act as a compromise measure.
The free coinage people fearing their
ability to pass the measure they
wanted, frankly admitted that half
loaf is better than none and accepted
the compromise. 1t was by no means
a gold'bug Republican measure and
the very course and actions of old
John and his followers since, shows
that it was only a concession to give
them further time to perfect their
schemes against silver. If it were in
any sense a Republican gold-bug
measure, they would not now be max
ing such desperate efforts to repeal it.
The Monitor editor should read up
and know what he is talking about.
The Atlantic Pacific Railway Tun
mel has this year sold 5000 tons of its
ore from its Monte CristO property on
the Blue River, for five dollars per
ton, net. The ore to be paid for this

mill, prepared for market and deliy-
cred at the smelter in Denver. This

pany. Of this ore it has exceeding
10000 tons in sight. Soon as it can
erect mill on its Monte Cristo prop.
erty that will be able to treat one
hundred tons of ore per day, it can
realize at least nine dollars per ton
for its Monte CristO ore, as a mini
mum figure. Working the mill only
two hundred days year, 10000 tons
of ore can be mined, milled and mar
keted, to net $4,000 year, which
will pay eight per cent. on its entire
issue of bonds and leave $50. 900 year
surplus. But not One-half of this is
sue is yet sold. OF will be within a
year, as there will be no need to thus
sell. so that the product of a one-hun-
dred ton mill on the Monte Cristo
property will yield twice as much as
will be required to meet the interest
on bonds sold by the Tunnel company.
This is entirely apart from the ore in
the thirty-six veins crossed and own
ed by the company, with hundreds
more to follow.

The sO-called Straight-out Demo
Gratis are receiving precious little
sympathy from the fusion element of
their party. They show more dispo-
sition to play square into the hands
of their old enemy, the Republicans,
than to uphold and perpetuate the es-
tabliShed principles of their party.
So far their whole course seems to
have been directed, dictated and
planned in the interest of the rail.
roads, corporations and Republican
ofiice-hOlders and the rank and file OF
the party viii never sanction such a
course. They are as deeply interested
in needed reforms as their POpulist
nejghbOrs and will act with them
every time rather than encourage a
set Of political tricksters.

lie when they say the guards attempt
ed to keep members of the Douglass

They plainly told them that all

state house with a mob of toughs and

a liter of water fall drop by drop from

When 800 drops had fallen the attn

gave up, saying it vas impossible to

OF his hand was swollen and indamed,

broken open. Only a small portion OF
the water had gone to make up the
400 drops.

Our sister State, Nevada, is going to
distinguish herself by an exhibit OF the
footprints found in the sandstone at
the State prison quarry near Carson.
These have caused endless discussion
among European scientists, many of
whom contend that the impressions
left ARE those OF the feet OF human be-
ings. All that can be said with GER
tainty, we understand, about these
footprints is that they are not those OF
either Senator Stewart, Governor
Bradley or Jewett Adams, but there is
said to be a strong suspicion in Nevada
that they were the footprints OF a
prominent newspaper man in Carson,

and in some other form OF incarnation.

JAY ADVERTISERS.

The proprietors Of the Mackaye Spec
tatorium Of Chicago are sending out
weekly "news items" to the press
which are simply elaborate puhso OF the
show which the Mackaye Spectacular
crowd expect the newspapers TO run
free. Every editor should be careful
to see that such stuff reaches the waste
basket in short order.
Another matter the Appeal desires
10 call the attention of the Navada pa
pers to, is the ridiculous rates they are
getting from the Baking Powder Com
panies, Price and the Royal. They
give up to foreign company four times
the space they give to a steady home
advertiser for the same money. The
Appeal has persistently refused the
business of these baking powder firms
unless they pay the same rate charged
the local dealers who ~patronize this
Office. They are in the habit Of beat
ing the papers down to what they can
get, but if the papers all decide TO re-
fuse their business except at paying
rates they will soon come to the pub
lii hers terms, as without liberal adj
vertising they cannot sell their wares.

Six or seven years ago, under in
struction from the Director OF the Mint
at Washington, ALI Doten compiled a
tabulated statement and narrative Of
the bullion yield OF the Comstock lode.
It was given by calendar years, from
the discovery in 1859, derivedirom the
most authentic and official sources,
showing also the total assessments and
dividends and other items Of interest.
Since the adjournment Of the last
Legislature Mr.. Doten, under the same
government official direction, has re-
yised and extended his report down to
the commencement Of the present
year, and it will soon be published by
the Bureau Of the Mint in the Direc-
tors annual report, being the only
complete statement ever given on the
subject. II shows the entire gold and
silver product of the Comstock to be
over $500, 000, 900. The discovery year,
1859, gave $50 1000, 0O0--all gold. The
greatest yield was in 1877, about $780,
100000. Last year it was a little over
$1,000, 000.-Appeal.

Rich strike az Morey.

Belmont Courier: News comes from
Morey, Nye county, OF a rich strike
which has been made in the lower lew
els OF the Morey mine on what is known
as the Magnolia ledge. IL. A. Cohen,
owner OF. the mine, certainly deserves
much credit for the amount of pluck
and good Judgment he has displayed
in uncovering ore in the Morey mine
at a depth at which many people con-
tended precious metals did not exist in
Norey but Mr. Cohen, regardless OF
all opposing ideas, with undaunted
perseverance and constant faith that
the general formation would produce,
prosecuted developments until he GER
tainly will be handsomely repaid, as
the ledge is large and rich. The find
ing OF rich ore at such a depth dis
proves the theory that rich ore exists
only near the surface in Nye county,
and Mr.. Cohen's discovery may prove
a good lesson to other mine owners in
the county.
