pointment Of a committee, which after
some difficulty appeared with Colonel
Davis. Burton at once arose and stated to
the director general that in view of the
piano controversy now involving the au-
thorities of the fair a resolution had been
adopted last Friday requesting him Ohe
director generaD to remove from Music
hall the piano from the works of the firm
which was not exhibitor. Burton
wished to know if the instrument had been
removed. Colonel Davis said he had given
the order to have the piano removed, but
had received no advices that his order had
been carried out or any report whatever on
the matter.
That PLAINLY Was Still There.
Clendenning of Arkansas said that he
saw one of the pianos there at O'Clock
a. m.
"Now," said Burton as he jumped to his
feet, I'VE have ordered the director general
| to remove the piauo;he. has given his order.
The piano has not been removed. The coun-
Gil of administration is discussing this
matter now in their secret session. What
right have they to discuss a matter we
have already settled? We are. in my mind.

ST. Clair Proposes a Way out.
Burton didn't look at it this way. He
thought the commission controlled the
matter. just at this time st. Clair and
Massey came in from the meeting of the
| council of administration and said that

tied in a short time if the commission
would wait.

President, that concert is advertised and

St. Clair stated that If the commission

out in fifteen minutes which would close

| settled This was satisfactory and Presi-
dent Palmer, who occupied the chair, per

The above appearing in the Reno

lature made the fight in both House
and Senate for the four Ormsby
candidates.
Mr.. Hickey very kindly assisted,
but he was not in the caucus.
The candidates were placed in
nomination by Silver Senators from
other counties. If the Silver party
had not carried Orinsby, she would
have received no consideration what

Two Sleepy Papers.

Neither the Tribune nor the News
have lifted their voices in behalf of
Ormsby's fight to defeat Frank Bell,
the Washoe candidate for Warden.
The election of Bell is the first
step in the conspiracy to move the
State Prison to Reno and saddle a
big debt upon the already overburden-
ed taxpayers.
These papers published in Carson
are fast asleep and trying to hamper
instead of helping Ormsby's fight.
Anyone would think that they
were owned by Reno interests.
Perhaps they are.

WEDNE DAY. JANUARY is
A QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.

ne oliver party or Nevada went
before the people last Fall on cam
paign ct education and principle.
Our enemies contended that it was
purely fight for spoils. In order
to retain the confidence of the peo-
pie we must demonstrate the falsity
of the charge. 1t has gone out that
certain men had to be induced to
join the party in the eleventh hour
on promise of fat office as the price
OF feaity to the principles of the free
coinage of silver.
Now the APPEAL contends that the
Silver party was a party of spontan-
eous growth, formed by the people
to meet an existing emergency, and
it must be able By its acts to demon
strate to the people that it was not as
Its enemies claimed, party formed
for the purposes of spoils and job
berry.
To place Mr.. Bell in office as
Warden of the Penitentiary because
of promise made to him before the
election, is a surrender of every
principle the party was fighting for
and an admission to the people of the
State of Nevada that the hard
things said about Us by outsiders are
true.
1t is also an insult to thousands of
honest, sincere silver men who de-
serted their old parties and came in
line without the glittering bait of
office held in front of their faces to
induce them to enter the ranks of
the silver fighters, in the battle for
the soil of Nevada against the allied
hostes of Wall street and the Harri-
son administration
IL is the business If the silver
party to first take care of their
wounded in this fight. Every man
who was discharged from the u S.
Mint because of his courage in de-
claring his silver principles has a !
claim upon the Silver party.
In the day of defeat an army is
sometimes excused for leaving its
dead and wounded on the field, but
IN the hour of victory it is pusillani>
NOUS and disgraceful to divide the
spoils Of war among the suffers who
were back eff the danger line in the
fight and let the wounded lie where
they fall.
Such q course would be contrary
to every principle of justice and de-
cency and if this scheme is carried
out, it will SOW the seeds of dissatis
fation in the party; seeds which
will sprout into rank weeds of revolt
two years from now.
The silver men of Ormsby do not
insist that their candidate shall be
chosen above all others, but they in
list that the man who is placed there
shall be one who was a silver man
rom the first, governed by principle
md not by spoils.
The silver men of Ormsby will
'attle for that principle as long as
here is Silver party in this State.

PUBLIC MONEY WASTED.
SECRETARY MORTON TELLS OF
AAViSH EXPENDITURES.

Goyernment-Tho Secretary Tells How
tho Government Could and WIN BE
Saved Many n Dollar.
wAsHIEGToN, July lin his forth.
coming report Secretary Morton win
make two important recommendations
contemplating radical changes in the
method OF doing some OF the work Of the
Department OF Agriculture.
There is considerable sum of money
expended annually by this department in
doing work which is but duplication Of
that done elsewhere, and that too largely
at government expense, said Secretary
Morton.
This business of distributing garden
seeds is a good illustration. The prac-
tice was begun before the day of the
present state agricultural experiment
station and Is still continued as II these
stations did not exist The object OF
these stations Is apparent from their
name, aud In order TO foster them the
general government has contributed to
each such institution annually the sum
Of $40, 900. the appropriation last year
aggregating 100000.
"Under the present system garden
seeds are distributed indiscriminately
without regard to locality or any knowl.
edge as to whether they are adapted TO
the country to which they 60, or ever
| whether the people who receive then
have any use for or want them. II
should be the object Of these experiment
stations 10 test the needs OF the soil anC
lif there is any public demand for seed
that thrive and produce well, TO supply
them, from the fund which the govern
ment pays them.
"True, this would prevent Congress
men from flooding their districts will
such packages, but Il would be a Ions
step IN the direction of economy and a
the same time subserve all public needs
"In the same way many of these stat
stations are conducting experiment
that are simply Implications Of the worl
now being done by this department
These experiments, naturally, are for th
benefit Of certain section OF th
country and the stations In these state
aided by Congress, pay particular AZ
tention TO those very experiments. II
this way the expense Is doubled
