THE LAST RESOURCE.


Iawoke with feeling of overpowering
heat and suffocation. The bedclothes had
been drawn over my shoulders, and my
head, sinking from the pillow, had buried
my face beneath them. But before this
unusual condition was discovered another
explanation presented itself to my half
awakened imagination. / was at the bot
tom Of burning pit. Drigo and Putty
were there, struggling with each other and
trampling nae beneath them in their frantic
efforts to escape, and Taras was looking

The thought of lying down again to sleep
was repugnant to me, with the dread OF
dreaming again. 1t must be nearly morn

Walking across the room, my eye fell
upon some children's toys and a doll upon

and unaccountable fear. Turning TO the
msntelpiece saw photograph In frame

owner OF the doll and playthings on the

A WASHINGTON correspondent
says: although bills have been
favorably reported to both House
and Senate providing for a suspen-
sion of the purchase of silver by the
government, and the corridors of
the Capitol and of the hotels are full
of talk about silver legislation it is
not likely that there will be any sill
yer legislation this session. There
are enough silver Senators who can
neither be cajoled nor bulldozed by
Mr.. Cleveland to prevent the repeal
of the present silver law, and those
democrats who have been influenced
by Mr.. Cleveland to promise to vote
for its repeal will not be sorry to see
them do it, in fact many will help
on the sly"

A PROPOSITION to amend the Con-
stitution of the United States so as
to elect Senators by popular vote
has been agitated in and out of Con-
gress for some years, and the Leg
islatures of several States, in
compliances with the wishes of the
people, have memoralized Congress
to adopt such an amendment.
Resolutions were accordingly intro
duced in both Houses of Congress
proposing the change in the Consti-
tuition. 1t passed the House and
if adopted by the Senate will be
submitted for ratification to the
Legislatures of the several States.
1t requires a two-third vote in each
House of Congress and the approx
al of the Legislature of three-fourths
of the States to amend the Consti-
tuition. The measure, if it passes
the Senate, will undoubtedly carry,
as it is popular.
If the Nevada Legislature has
not already memoralized Congress
to adopt such an amendment it
should do so at once.

SENATOR STEWART was reelected
to the United States Senate this
week by the unanimous vote of the
Legislature of this State. This is
something that never happened in
this or any other State before, and
it shows in what high esteem the
old silver warhorse is held by the
people of Nevada, irrespective Of
party. 1t is fit tribute to the man
who is laboring SO heroically to give
back to the battle-born State the
prosperity Of which she was robbed
in 1873 by the infamous act that
demonetized silver. Stewart is
recognized as the equal in intellect
of any man in the United States,
and is the hardest fighter in the
U. S. Senate to-day, and had the
country more like him the toiling
masses could confidently hope to
soon be released from the bondage
in which they are being held by
the shylocks of this and the old
world. Those of Stewards col
leagues who do not love him, fear
him, for he is an aggressive enemy,
and "hews to the line, no matter
where the chips may fall" Last
Fall he was prominently mentioned
as the possible nominee of the
Peoples Party for President, and
if the Democratic party, whose star
is now in the ascendancy, heeds
not his warning on the money ques-
ton, four years from now it had
better stand from under, for with
Stewart as their leader the people
will march forth to freedom from
beneath the yoke of of the corprate
money powers of the earth. All
hail to Senator Stewart, the grand
old man who is championing the
couse of the people.

AssEMBLYMAN Norcross, of Reno,
has introduced a bill providing for
calling a Constitutional Conven-
ton. 1t provides that the Conven-
ton shall be composed of so dele
gates and shall he held in Carson
in April. The Constitution framed
is to be submitted to the people at
the general election in 1894 and if
adopted is to take effect in 1895.
In speaking of the proposed amend
ments to the present Constitution
which have not been published, the
Reno Journal advances the follow
ing good idea:
"Should the bill become law
and a new Constitution be framed
by the convention, which it provides
for, and submitted to the people, it
is possible that it might contain
Objectionable features, which would
result in its rejection. To provide
against such contingency, would
it not be advisable to submit the
amendments proposed by the Leg
islature of 1891, for adoption at the
special election in February, if, as
some able lawyers contend, they
have been published according to
the requirements of the Constitu-
ton? Should these amendments be
adopted they would afford the peo-
pie some relief if the new Constitu-
ton should not be adopted"

ENGLAND is looking after the Mic
aragua Canal. She would like to
control the route across the Isthmus
as it would give that country great
advantages in the way of freight
and passenger. traffic, mail routes,
etc. The United States should see
TO it that no other country but
America controls the Nicaragua
Canal. She can do this now better
than in the future, and Congress
should take immediate action on
the bill before it. England esti-
mates that she can secure control of
the canal for $12,OO0,000, and this
would be cheaper than the Panama
Railroad, and she would then not
have to negotiate with France.

GEN. WEAVER has been making
a campaign of Arizona this month
and unfurling the Populist banner
there. Arizona wants very much
to become a State, and the Popu-
lists desire to have the two new U.
S. Senators who will be elected il
the territory is admitted. They
will, in all probability, be unlimited
coinage men, and this would make
the Stewart forces so much the
stronger in the fight for the white
metal.

If THE United States will unite
with France, Holland, Spain and
all other commercial nations in the
unlimited use of silve, England
would be compelled to do the same
or lose her grip on India. A finan-
cial crash is now threatening the
Indian empire because of demone-
tization.-Er.
If the United States would only
adopt an unlimited silver coinage
law it would be but a few years be-
fore all other nations would follow
suit. The people have got to have
more money.

WHEN the charter of the Louisi-
ana Lottery Company expires in
Louisiana the company will begin
business in Honolulu, having Sc
cured a charter from the Hawaiian
government. The company is to
pay the government 100000 ar
nually, and 100000 of this is to
be a subsidy towards building
cable line between Hawaii and
North American port. This will
be great benefit to the Sandwich
Islands. Four years ago it was
proposed to grant a charter to a
company to establish lottery in
this State, but some of the highly
moral people, whose sons and
daughters were dealing in louisa
ma and Mexican securities" OPP
posed the measure on the grounds
that it would teach their children
the vice of gambling. A company
would have paid this State $780,
600 annually, and this money put
into an irrigation fund would have
given us by this time nearly half a
million dollars with which to bring
under cultivation the waste land of
our State. Do we need anything
of this kind? Look around the
State at the deserted mining camps
and see whether we need any assist
ance, with silver at 80 cents and
taxes increasing and the value of
property diminishing daily. The
good people of nevada made mis-
take when they voted to refuse out
siders the privilege of contributing
towards developing our State.

THE american Agriculturalist is
strongly advocating the establish
ment of beet sugar factories through
out the west on the cooperative
plan. 1t argues that there is suf-
ficient idle capital in the leading
monied centers of the East to build
all the factories necessary to supply
this nation with sugar, and if the
farmerswill form cooperative bodies
in sufficient numbers to be able to
give satisfactory guarantees to grow
beets in sufficient quantities to sus-
tain factory in their respective To-
calities, there will be no trouble in
securing capital to erect factories.
This statement in the face of the
government bounty and the fact
that we import $100,000,o0O worth
of sugar certainly seems plausible.
Nevertheless, in this State, which
possesses superior advantages in
soil and climate for sugar beet cul-
ture, the first factory is yet to be
built upon this plan. In the great
corn States sugar beets, in the event
of the erection of factories, would
prove more profitable than corn.
There is certainly great future for
the industry, and all praise to every
enterprising and public spirited en-
deavor to encourage and increase
the home production of sugar from
the sugar beet.
