The servant Problem Not New.

Students of household management
will learn with satisfaction that in 1866
many of the evils now to be complained
of were distinctly recognized. Some of
the more curious fines which were inn
posed by q country gentleman upon Of
Tending servants were a penny for leav-
ing door open, missing prayers, leav-
ing beds unmade after presumably u.
m.) end cooks could only have follow
ers at the rate of penny fine for each
one. A curious custom seems to have
then existed that entree to the house was
denied during the family meals, and as
the fine for allowing breach Of this
custom was heavy it may be presumed
that the sin was esteemed great.-Lady's

Mistakes About Alcohol.

There is common belief that alcohol
gives new strength and energy after
fatigue sets in. The sensation of fatigue
is one of the safety valves Of our ma
chine. To stife the feeling of fatigue, in
order to do more work, is like closing
the safety valve so that the boiler may
be overheated and explosion result. 1t
is commonly thought that alcoholic
drinks aid digestion, but in reality the
contrary would appear to be the case,
for it has been proved that meal with
out alcohol is more quickly followed by
hunger than meal with alcohol. In
connection with the sanitation of armies
thousands of experiments upon large
bodies of men have been made and have
led to the result tuat, in peace or war,
in every climate-in heat, cold or rain
soldiers are better able to endure the
fatigue of the most exhausting marches
when they are not allowed any alcohol
at all. That mental exertions of all
kinds are better undergone without al
cohol is generally admitted by mostp peo-
pie who have made the trial. Westmin-

NEVADA HAS A BRIGHT FUTURE

Why 60 to foreign chimes to look for
rich gold mines when right here in these
United States you can find what you are
looking for? Take our State Of Nevada
for instance. Here q vast area OF land
covers more hidden gold than any State
in the Union. You may we'll wonder at
the truth Of this statement, but is il to
be wondered at when only Of late years
has it been discovered that gold abounds
here as well as silver? Prospec-
tors in the past devoted their time TO
prospecting for silver mines, but not SC
to-day. Some Of the most encouraging
and prosperous looking gold mines In
Nevada will in q few months be in active
operation in Kennedy, this county. Men
of capital and ambition. who have lived
in the Ssgebrush State for years past and
know . good thing when they see II,
would not regret investing q few dollars
in the rising camp Of Kennedy.
The u Of Nevada are mex
haustible it is true, and the late discov-
cries in mining, not only Of gold, but Of
cobalt, tin. lead. copper. iron and Other
metals too Numerous TO mention, lead
US to believe that the future Of Nevads
rests assured .-Silver State.

placed on a catafalque and surrounded
with wax candles, received the blessing.
Then he took the guests home to q grand
banquet at his own house, and he made
every guest pledge his word in 3 bum

living at the time the old man needed il,
he would not fail to attend his funeral,
and to assist ct the funeral services.
And now the tomb is waiting for him.
He is 95 years old, but still hale and
strong. and seems in no hurry to occupy

solemn, quarters, and the neighbors who
helped in celebrating his ante norton
funeral do not know whether they will
have a chance at the old fellow yet or
not for the final roundup.

AT present writing the tariff bill In
the Senate reduces the duty on lead from
$50 q ton to Sl5-just one-half. As
originally reported from the House, lead
was on the free list. Under the Mckin-
ley bill, foreign lead in pigs or ores was
taxed one and one-half cents per pound.
That enabled mine-owners to pay at
least 81 a day. Evidently the House Of
Representatives thought this was too
much for an American miner TO get, so,
to give the Mexican 25-cent-s-day
laborer a chance, lead was made free.
This, Of course, would shut down every
lead-producing mine in the Union.
Folly could no further 90. A glimmer
of sense in the Senate has put the duty

me- WARNED AGAINST TRAITORS,

We hear some people say that the
Democrats will be wiped off the face OF
the earth next Fall and that the Populist
vote will hardly be recognized-so it will
be useless to vote the Silver party ticket
in Nevada. Such talk emanates from the
crafty arguments Of the enemies OF sill
yer. Notwithstanding that the Repub-
licans have carried Oregon by q sweep
ing majority over the Democrats and .
plurality over both the Democrats and
Populists, the latter polled several thou
sand more votes than the Democrats and
have gained considerable strength in that
as 10 all other States Of the Union. The
Populists are solid for the ~remonetiza-
ton Of silver, and the Silver party for
that reason will support them. We
know full we'll that no dependence can
be placed on either Of the old parties;
that their leaders are q unit against sill
yer, no matter what they may say to
the contrary. The masses will listen to
the specious arguments Of the old party
leaders and be whipped or cajoled into
line by them. Neither Of them will be
friendly to silver; their promises to the
people will be disregarded as usual after
the Congressional elections are over. II
will therefore be incumbent upon all
true silver men to be on guard first, last
and all the time and vote the Silver
party ticket at the next November

Herr Ludwig Bsmberger, q leading
member OF the German Silver Commits
sion, has emerged from Q tw~enty-one
days discussion Of the silver question
and gives 10 as his honest convic-
tion that nothing can be done to restore
silver by means Of international agree
ment. The difference in the interests Of
the different countries precludes any sat.
isfactory agreement. Herr Bamberger
has contributed to the cause Of bimetal-
lism more in his conclusion than he pos
sibly could have contributed in the
discussion. He has cleared . lot OF rub
bish out OF the way. He has made IL
impossible for gold advocates to Fight
under the mask Of international bimetsl'
lism. What Bsmberger has now said
all sincere bimetallists have for q long
time believed. The reason he has given
is the reason they have given. The in
terest Of creditor nations and the inter.
ests Of debtor nations are different, and
consequently the silver men Of the sew
eral countries will make out different
policies. The United States will find no
fault with that. We legislate for our
interests and expect other nations to
legislate for their interests. The advo-
Gates Of bimetsllism may now step for
ward upon solid ground. Is il wise for
debtor nations and nations that are ex-
changing raw material for finished goods
to submit to . system of loss which comes
Of constant appreciation Of the value OF
money in which debts must be paid
The creditor nations say: "Such a sys-
tenn is good for u.s." May not debtor
nations say: "Such system is not good
for us?" The differences in the way Of
bimetallism will disappear when nations
whose interests are alike legislate alike.
The Old World has learned this trick,
and the sooner the New World learns it
the better for us.-S. +. Call.

The RIGHT WAY OUT.

In his late historical study Of THE
Gold Standard" Brooks Adams, Of Bos-
ton, who has become . convert to bimet-
allism and was an American delegate at
the conference held at the Mansion
House in London about . month ago,
believes that the restoration OF silver is
the most vital issue Of the age, inssmueh
as the gold standard not only involves
financial embarrassment, but apparently
strikes at the root Of the social system.
II is this pressure, be holds, that is pro-
ducing suffering and discomfort all over
Europe-nihilism in Russia, agrarisn in
surrection in Italy, anarchy in France
and Spain, socialism in France and Ger
many.
Through the want OF an adequate and
elastic currency. through the curtail-
ment Of the purchasing power Of the
community, through an appreciating
debt, which Mr.. Adams designstes ss
"the disease which is devouring the
world" he might have added that tnan-
cial and industrial conditions in the
United States have reached q psralytic
stage never before known 10 our history.
And there are many people who be-
lieve that but Of this paralysis there can
be no deliversnce so long as England,
the great creditor nation. to whom the
world owes $40, OOO, OOO, 900, and upon
which vast sum she draws annually in
interest $500, c 20, 900, continues to hold
the other powers Of the earth in enslave'
ment. While on the other hand there
are a great many people in this ceanary
who see their way clearly out o. this
present financial wilderness. and that Is
for the United States TO ~inaugurate Q
financial system Of her w independent
Of England. This latter idea must ulti-
mately prevail. England will never sub
nit to the theory Of bimetallism until
she is forced to do so by the United
States establishing an Independent Amer.

then will the desired relief be given.
