In speaking about the printing
patronage in this county the Csrson
Appeal says:
The Lyon County Commission
ers ought to be thoroughly ashamed
of themselves fol- the way they treat
ed the TINES. This paper has been
published in Lyon county for years
and thoroughly identified with its
interests.
The other newspaper comes into
the field and before it has been run
year gets most of the county
printing. Its editor originally ran
an anti Silver paper in Candelaria,
and only came in line after the min
ers had almost boycotted his paper
out of existence.
These silver converts who come
in line when they have to, are not
the sort of silver men that pass
muster in this section.
The Silver party is as much a
party as any party in Nevada, and
more, for it is the dominant party.
1t must begin to reward its workers
the same as the Democrats and Re-
publicans do.
The treatment accorded the TINES
of Dayton is an outrage, and the
Commissioners who perpetrated it,
have no business to ever claim that
they belong to the Silver party.

Mr.. CAMMINETTI, Congressman
from California, says he believes
that compromise will be made on
the silver ques ton, and that free
coinage men will agree to accept a
measure providing only for the free
coinage of the American product
of silver. He does not say how he
stands in the matter. 1t is plain
that this argument comes from the
gold bug side of the house. They
are now declaring that this country
cannot take care of the worlds sill
yer, which she would have to do if
the coinage of the metal is not linn
tied. This is poor argument.
Before silver was demonetized in
1873 this country took care of all
the silver she could get hold of, and
now, with many millions more of
people, and no increase, but dim
finished amount of money, it will be
strange if she cannot handle all the
money she can get. There is eer-
tainly something radically wrong
with the financial condition of the
country, and free-coinage men
should not stop at any halfway
measures by limiting silver coinage
to any amount or the production of
any country. 1t will not cost this
government much to try the expert
ment of free coinage, but the gold
bugs are afraid that she will do
this. They know as we'll as any
body that the country would pros
per under such conditions, but the
money loaners and brokers, banks,
ETC., would not have such chance
to control the finances of the count.
ry. Free and unlimited coinage is
what we want and what must be
had before long.

How many remedies there are which merely
relieve without uprooting disease. The con-
trast with sterling medicines which such palli-
atives afford. not only enhances the dignity of
the former, but serves to emphasize the folly of
employing halfway measures when thorough
ones are available. A marked instance OF this

THE Reno Gazette is still sore
over the last election, and still
harps about the Democrat-Popu-
lists seeking appointments from
Cleveland because they carried
Nevada for Weaver. There is no
doubt that it is poor policy for any
Silver Party man to ask for a po-
sition from the Democratic boss of
this country. but that is no argu-
ment that the country would have
been better off as regards the fnan-
cial quest lion, under Republican
administration than it now is un-
der a Democratic one. AS stated
before, the Silver Party is aware
now that within its ranks are Dem
ocrats who joined the party for po-
litical purposes, not because they
believed in the new party; but they
are few, compared to the number of
votes cast by the new party. The
Gazette is working its level best to
disrupt the Silver Party. This State
is just as we'll off now as though
Harrison was President, and will be,
no matter who holds the few small
appointed positions at Mr.. Cleve-
lands disposal. 1t is our opinion
that at the next election the Ga
zette will see that Republicans who
became Silver Party men las; Fall
did SO in all earnestness, also that
most of the Democrats feel the same
way. Nevada has no hope from
either old party, then why should
she vote for their candidates?

SENATOR STANFORD has passed in
his checks. There are some good
things that can be said of him and
many harsh ones. He was one of
the projectors of the Central Pacific
railroad, and out of it made many
millions of dollars. Before the
death, some years ago, of his only
SON, his labors were principally for
Stanford, but his wife made some
good-sized drafts on him for charit-
able purposes, and it was through
her generosity that Mrs. Stowe was
enabled to start the five Kinderden
schools in San Francisco which are
doing SO much good in starting the
rising generation of that city on
the right road. Stanford was an
ambitious man, and after accumu-
lating several millions turned his
attention to politics. In early days
he was elected as Governor of Cali
fornia, and for two terms has rep
resented that State in the U. s.
Senate. After the death of his son
his heart was softened to such an
extent that he erected splendid
university in California and richly
endowed it. By some it is said
that this was only an advertise
ment of his candidacy for the Pres
idency. However, the Palo Alto
university will always stand as a
magnificent monument to his men,
ory. Mrs. Stanford will do more
good with the millions left her than
her husband would if had lived to
be an hundred years.

THE operations of the great beet
and pork packers, such as Armour,
Swift, and others, are more gigan-
tic than generally supposed. Not
content with practically controlling
the meat trade of the country, they
are reaching out to swallow the
hide and leather interests. The
new tanneries about to be erected
on the 1000 acres of land owned
by them at Tolleston, Ind, will
have capacity of handling more
than 80 per cent. of our domestic
hides. Representatives of these
packers are also buying up hemlock
and pine lands in Wisconsin and
Michigan, in order that their sup
ply of bark for tanning purposes
may be unlimited.

A CASE was recently decided in
California, says an exchange, that
a patent outside newspaper, part Of
which was printed in the county
where it was published and part in
San Francisco, was not "a paper
printed in the county" under the
statute. This point has never been
raised in Nevada, but it would seem
to be good law. A patent outside
printed in San Francisco is not le-
gally paper printed in some coua-
ty other than San Francisco coun-
ty. Under the wording Of the
statute a Board of County Com
missioners could not have work
done legally in paper half print
ed outside the county, f there was
another paper wholly printed in
the county.

Concerning the Abuse of the Old Soldier
Members and the Mismanagsment Of the
Institution.
Although there has been some news
paper talk regarding the recent investi-
cation Of the management Of the Lssv-
enworth soldiers home, the public has
waited in vain until this week for some
real information as to the facts in the
case. The old soldiers, both in and out
of the home, are especially interested in
this case, and many Of them will learn
from the ADVOCATE that there were not
only very substantial grounds for the
serious charges made against Andrew j..
Smit b, governor of the home, but that
the charges were in the main true. They
have known that DR.. ]. L. Viewer, sur
geon Of the home, preferred charges
against Governor Smith, which charges
were laid before the board Of managers
at their meeting in Hampton, Va, last
April; that the board held an investigs
tion in LeRVenworth during May and
June following; that prior to this inves-
tigstion at a meeting in Boston, DR..
Viewer was suspended and that about
the first Of October he was dismissed
from the service and q successor Rp-
pointed, while the actions Of Governor
Smith were sustained. They may not
have known that the cause for dismiss
ing the surgeon was Officially" given in
these words: Because of q strained
relation that existed between the off,
GERS" but that is the only reason given.
The matter Of investigating the west
ern branch Of the National Homes for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers" was begun
during 1888, when complaints were first
made to Senator Plumb regarding the
conduct Of the governor. John A.
Martin was then the Kansas member of
the board Of managers, and ex-officio
local manager. These two men died
before their work was completed, and
since their death the work of uneRrth-
ing the brutality and corruption at the
institution has been delayed by the poll
ticisns who compose and control the
board, until it has become q question
whether Governor Smith will ever be
brought to account for his dishonesty.
Only for the effort Of DR.. Viewer, who
was a victim OF Smiths meRnness, the
affair might have been hushed up after
Senator Plumb's death. As it is the in
vestigstion, like all military proceedings
of that nature, was held secretly, and
the ADVOCATE ls fortunate in having had
access to copy OF the official report.
The investigating board consisted Of
Generals W. B. Franklin (president), W.
j. McMst on, Alfred L. Pearson, James
Barnett, Francis Fessenden, W. j. Sew
ell, John G. Black and e. N. Morrill,,
successor of John A. Martin.
