WOULD PROVE A coon LAW.

1t might be a good idea for the incom.
ing Nevada Legislature to pass a law
compelling all looators OF mining claims
to do assessment work within sixty days
after the location is made, says the Vir-
ginia Chronicle. The prosperity Of GER
tain parts of Nevada depends largely
upon the mining industry. and such q law
would put . stop to a lot Of i~mpecunious
hogs, found in every mining camp, who
are in the habit of stalking off an entire
mining district, with no intention OF de-
veloping the same, but merely to hold
the ground in allegiance and prevent de-
velopment. The mining industry is ham.
pered in no small degree by the present
law regarding locations, and its repeal
and passage Of the one as suggested would
prove beneficial to the live mining popu-
lation Of the State.

THE MONEY.MAKIN9 FACULTY.

Col. Bob Ingersoll says that the genius
for making and accommodating money is
Just az distinct as q genius for music or
| painting. Never ask a man: why do
you not make money!" You might as
well ask him: Why do you not paint .
picture, :" Colonel Ingersoll goes on to
say that the faculty for making money is
Unborn. The average Professor with his
head crammed full OF knowledge has no
practical ideas. He could not start q
FIRE with three bushels of pine shaviDgs
and two boxes OF matches.
This is a very striking way Of putting
it, but it is more than half true. The
man with the money.msking genius has
to follow his bent just as the writer. the
singer and the painter are forced onward
in their spscialties by their dominant fac.
ulties.
Accepting this as the correct view. il
is Just as absurd and unfair to condemn
the money-maker who makes a proper
use Of his opportunities and his wealth
as il would DO to oensure an artist or q
poet for developing and utilizing his pc
culiar gift.
Ingersoll has got it down about right.
Nor should the man be held strictly ac-
countabls who is not o monsy.maker.
Accommodations would be valueless did
all possess the faculty. Hence charity
is needed, backed by sound judgment. in
balancing for the worlds good necessary
gifts TO map.-Modesto News.

The San Francisco Call says: Iii said
the San Francisco and Salt Lake Rail-
road Company has completed its surveys
and that ground can be broken forth
with, provided the public subscribe the
money and show confidence in the enter
prise. That, after all, is the real test Of
the situation Of bringing q fresh railroad
into California. 1t is now abundant'y
clear that q new railroad need not be
very expensive. If honestly capitalized
it may be constructed for one-third the
money on which the Southern Pacific K
acts rates and fares. Merchants must
look ct the situation with an eye to the
savings they will effect in the future by
obtaining their goods cheaper. They can
afford to wait for the dividends. The
transportation Of goods at fair rates is
equivalent to a dividend. Thus far there
is confidence in the enterprise, and ii may
be hoped work will be pushed ahead Wig
orously this year.

FREE SILVER.


Whatever may be the demands OF the
great mass Of the people they cannot win
but one point at q time, then why not
be practical and bend all their energies
in behalf Of a question which is more
generally understood and discussed than
any Of the great questions which are
being sgitated by the Populists. All
honest people will admit that the de-
monetization Of silver in 1873 was the
greatest legislative fraud ever inflicted
upon this country. If the great body Of
industrial people will stand together they
can, through public opinion, force Con.
gress to restore silver to the place it oc-
cupied for over eighty years, up to the
time 1t was demonetized through the in
Huence of English gold. Nothing short
Of the free and unlimited coinage oil sill
yer on an equality with gold, ratio Of l6
to l, will satisfy the great majority Of
the people Of these United States. Ma

II the young man, Clay G. Hopper,
should be restored to life in Toledo. 1t
will be of interest to read his experience;
that is, il his memory will permit him TO
give that experiences. II will be read
with the greatest interest by that class
Of people who believe IL possible for the
soul, or mind Of man, to leave the body,
at times, and return to il. The man, APP
p~arennsly died; the physicians certified
to his death, but, up to night before last.
he was showing some signs Of life,
although his reported death took place
December goth. Some men, after Q long
trance, upon their rssuscitation. have de.
clared that they we've conscious all the
time; that they we're not dead, but
that they had lost control Of their bodies
lost it so completely that they could
not even make a sign that they were
alive, though they could hear ell that
was said about them, and know all that
was going on about them. II will be
curious to hear whether this young man
has been through an experience Of that
kind. or. whether. from the time oil his
apparent death, his mind has gone out TO
other places, and visited amid other
scsnes.-S. L. Tribune.

Nevada has in Washington two noble
warriors on the side Of the people
Stewart and Newlands. Both are con-
stantly in armor and ready for the fray.
Stewart has become q white haired vet
ersn In the cause Of the people, and is
known NJ grand fighter to lovers Of the
right, from one end Of the land to the
other. He is q strong and determined
champion Of the rights of the people,
and is not awed by the prowess Of any
who are in opposition to these rights,
however high the positions they hold.
Mr.. Newlands is highly esteemed by the
people Of Nevada, who have every pom
idence in him. To-day every true
hearted Nevadan ~rejoices at the thought
Of having succeeded in sending to Wash
ington two such warriors in the cause oil

Utah papers jibe at Nevada"

utah papers iibe at Nevada" says
the Denver News. "but there is no
ground for the derison. Nevada, small
as II is occupies a proud position in the
sisterhood Of States and Is represented
in the Senate by the greatest Senator Of
them alI-the grand, eloquent Stewart"
There may be papers in Utah that jibe
at Nevada, but the Journal is not one OF
them. Nevada did nobly last Fall
and was one Of the foremost among
the States in the populist movement.
Nevada may be out of the swim now but
she will be in it all right enough when
silver is r~emonetized.

NOT VIEW.

A long dispatch comes from Philsdel-
phia giving the Outlines Of papers read
before q session Of the Political and So
eisl Academy. and giving The views OF
experts as 10 the banking Of the future.
without considering what else was said
ID is ouly necessary TO note that the whole
drift Of The men Who talked there vAs
against silver except a. subsidiary mo-
ney. Indeed, the tone Of most OF the
papers when referring TO silver was 40
injured tone, a. though the thought OF
considering silver as money 81 all. was
an imposition and . wroug. The signif-
icancs Of !. all is that some Of those gen
slemen are 10 closs rapport with Grover
Cleveland. What may be hoped for IN
der Mr.. Cleveland may be jadsed by
private letter received and written BY
one who does not write fo0lishness. One
paragraph says:
"Mr. Carlisle 10 certainly 10 be the
next Secretary Of the Treasury. and be
10 against % (msaning the silver qaes-
tionl. The pressure from Mr.. Cleveland
personally 20 force the Democrats into
line for . gold standard is tremendous.
Nothing has ever been known like il.
I see nothing in sight for silver. The
Sherman law viii not be repealed and
the whole question will 90 over to the
next Administration"
1t is clearly the determination Of Wall
Street to Join with Lombard Street and
stamp silver out Of existence as money.
There is nothing left but the people-shs
people OF this country and Great Britain
but, fortunately. that is enough. III
they can ever be educated to understand
exactly how they are being affected BY
the tinkering OF the money Of the world
and the Withdrawing Of half OF il, then
there will be . storm that the wises. and
the shArpess goldite will be glad to find
. hiding place to escape from. Unless
some great mind in the Democratic
party makes Mr.. Cleveland see that it
was no. his popularity that elected him,
but that his election WAS due to the IN
rest Of the people under the contraction
Of the money Of the lard; if he persists
in bis determination to force q gold stan
dard upon the country and compels his
party to accept his views. as be is liable
TO do; we promise him and them that
when ne shall have served out his four
years. his party and himself will be
showed under with more anathemas than
followed James Buchanan and bis Adj

The San Franeiseo Mining and Seien-
ti6e Pres prints the following: Inc
miners Of Tuscarora. Sevsda. and those
Of Austin, Eareks. Cs8delsris. Phoebe,
and even Virgins City, all IN the sane
State, are in = bad way. A dozen other
smaller mining towns and camps are also
in . distressed condition, owing to The
Skating down Of silver mines . the
discharge Of nen. 10 every one OF tie
camps the number Of employed is com
pArasively few, and in some instances
there is absolute distress. The men have
been holding on in the hopes Of better
times, uutil their money is expended md
tbey can now get no work. Even II they
can get away, there is no place TO go
where they can follow their vocation, IS
all the silver camps on the Coast have
mora men now than they can employ.
These Nevada silver miners are about IN
the sane prediesnent IS were the min
ers in the hydraulic mining regions OF
California when the gravel claims were
shut down by process OF law. They
found their occupation gone, aud for
some years there was much distress,
which to some extent still continues.
No. only miners, but s~sorekeepers. srsi-
sans, aud all the people dependent upon
mining operations, feel the effect OF hard
times in such cases. In some instances,
cases Of des.itution are reported. The
people have not brought this upon them
selves by ~lsziness or improvidence, but
the conditions have resulted from the
low price Of silver and the consequent
loss in mining operations. When the
mines closed down and there was no
work for the men. all sorts OF business
in the camps languished and no money
could be made by any one.

suvER rxErs HE.

The New York Hersld's Washington
correspondspt sends the following; The
Presidsnt-elsct 10 said 10 be much dis
turbed By The silver situation. he said
10 . recent caller that another year Of
the Sherman Law would drive the eoun-
try into the hosrding Of gold and 6nan-
ei.l panic. he spoke Of the recent large
shipments Of gold 70 Earope, Of the
eagerness Of European governments to
buy all the gold they could get their
hands on and the sale Of American secu-
rites in England for the purchase Of
gold.
Let big failures, he said. start . wave
Of tinidisy and you will see prudent
people everywhere boarding gold and
unloading silver. The longer the Sher-
man Law continues in force the greater
the danger.
Mr.. Cleveland was asked how far he
would be willing 10 20 in the direction Of
. compromise, and . specific inquiry was
made if he would be content with the
old Bland Law Of 1878. His reply was:
"Only Ia case Of necessity. Between
the Bland Law and the Sherman law !
prefer the former. bat we ought not to
be forced 10 such IN alternative" II 10
known here that Mr.. Cleveland's anxiety
over the currency situation has. for the
time being at least. o~vsrshsdowed every
thing else in his mind. He is satisfied
nothing can be accomplished 10 this Con-
gress and that delay is dangerous. There.
fore be has again taken into considers
ton = suggestion that = special session Of
the new Congress be called in April or
May.
II has been pointed out TO him that in
six weeks after his Inauguration be would
have his administration well settled and
the advance guard Of place hunters out
Of the way. Besides, in six weeks or
two months. by promps work, Secretary
Carlisle and his assistants in the treasury
could have made . thorough investigs-
tion Of the condition Of the treasury and
be ready 10 make recommendations.
Progress from that time on would be
made in Congress, both with evenu and
currency questions a. well IS with other
matters now pressing for attention.

STEWART IN THE SENATE.

Senator Stewart 10 giving the Senate
some wholesome information, says the
Denver News. Taking the result Of the
late election o. the text, be has told the
gold bugs Of THAI body what will be the
future Of parties that ~antsgonize the res
toration Of silver 10 the coinage. There
10 no man in Congress more close to the
people than the silver Senator from Ne
vads, and his prophecy Of last week will
undoubtedly become the realized fact Of
1896.
There Is no longer any dispute % to
the prominence Of the silver question at
the National capital. II has already
overshsdowed all other issues. and will
claim the larger share Of attention both
from this Congress and the next. The
currency question. IS some are pleased to
call ii. cannot be pushed aside, and it
will not be settled until silver has been
restored 10 the coinage. and the circulat-
ing medium increased with some refer
encs TO the business requirements of the
country. Whatever may be the legisla-
tion on tariff. or pensions, or immigra.
tiou. or any other topic Of National CON
Germ, there will be no quieting Of the
prevailing general dissatisfaction and
discomfort, until the coinage Of the Con.
stitution 10 restored to the people, and
silver IL added to gold - the money Of
ultimate redemption.
There 10 no man in the National Con-
gress who more thoroughly understands
these questions than does the Senator
from Nevada. He Is bold, able, eloquent
and . master Of the miracles of the finan.
cial problem. Better yet, he is beyond
oil party control and outside Of ell par
tisan influences. He Is representing .
silver State Is q silver Senator. and his
voice will DO heard for the cause on
every possible occasion. He 10 the great
leader for monetary reform to-day, even
- Tom Benton was in the middle period
Of the Republic, when the old National
Bank Of those days attempted to seize
control Of the currency Of the country.
