WASHINGTON, January 23. 1894.
The Cleveland Hll.feud has taken fresh
start and now promises to turn into war Of
determination. Hill appeared to be quietly
allowing himself to be snubbed by acquiesc.
ing in the confirmation of the nominations
OF his personal enemies to federal offices
until Hornblower's nomination to the Su.
preme Court. Then he began to prepare to
fight back, ending with a knockdowu blow
for Mr.. Cleveland by securing the rejection
Of the Hornblower nomination While Hill
was receiving the congratulations of his
followers, in and out of the Senate, Mr.
Cleveland saw his opportunity for revenge
and promptly took advantage of it by veto
ing the New YORK and New Jersey Bridge
bill, measure in which Senator Hill and
many Of his fiost prominent New York
henchmen were known to be deeply inter-
ested, some people say, in financial as
we'll as political way. Hill and his Sena-
torial supporters are not doing any talking
for publication, about their plans, but when
the Cleveland tariff bill emerges from the
Senate the effect of their next blow will be
visible to all the world without the use OF a
microscope. republicans are enjoying the
combat and are perfectly willing to shout
''go it Cleveland, so it Hill with sufficient
energy to keep EN- fighting
The Democratic tariff "kickers' have one
more week in which to try to amend the
Cleveland tariff bill, and it will include the
sugar, iron and coal clauses, to say nothing
OF the income tax, which they will try to
attach to the tariff bill AS an amendment;
but ii the result of their efforts during the
last week is an indication of their voting

Ex-Minister Stevens gave some very in.
teresting testimony to the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, on Saturday, concern
ing happenings in Hawaii during his period

whole business, frankly stating that he fa-

very reason he was so particular in all his
official acts up to the formation of the pro.
visional government that the annexationists
thought him opposed to them. 1t is almost

A novel lead pencil has been invented by
an Eastern man. The pencil is covered with
narrow strips OF specially prepared paper
run on coils, aud so narrow that by releasing
one end of a coil with pin or the point of
a penknife strip of paper can be reeled off,
leaving the pencil with a cone point and
about one eighth of an inch of lead
uncovered. The company proposes to
cover lead, crayon and slate pencils in the
same way. The pencils are painted in
fancy colors, and so closely wrapped around
that the seams in the paper are said to be in.

DANIEL PROCTOR At REST.

Daniel Proctor died at his residence
early last Saturday morning. His death
was moi unexpected as he had suffered
two strokes of paralysis and it was fear
ed the end might come at any moment.
Friday evening about seven O'Clock his
wife was alarmed at the sudden change
that came over her husband and knew
that the Angel of Death lowered near.
The only son, E. H. Proctor, was visit
ing at St. Clair, Churchill county, and
a messenger carried the dreaded news to
him in time to permit him to reach
home before the father died. The fun
eral took place Monday from Union
Church, Rev. w. b. Pope of Reno ofici-
ating. The pail bearers were, 7. G..
Herman, VIM. Donaldson, VIM. Mich
OILS David Ehler, T. F. Bastian and A.
s. Lievre who were preceded in the fun
eral cortege by the funeral director,
Vim. Macpherson and other pionees cit
liens OF Wadsworth, some of whom had
been acquainted with the deceased for
thirty-ive years. The casket was most
beautiful and costly and the floral offer
lngs were lovely. The church was
crowded, many having to stand. The
remains were inferred in the family plot
at Fraternal cemetery and there Daniel
Proctor sleeps the last sleep by the side
OF his son Waldo.
Daniel Proctor was born at Lowell,
Mass, July 10, 1928, making him at the
time OF his death over sixty-six years of
age. Mr.. Proctor left his Lowell home
for the Pacific Coast in 1854 and crossed
the great western plains three times as
a teamster, finally landing at Virginia
City, Nevada, in 1859, before such a
thing as a house graced the Cohstock.
At one time he owned the controlling
interest in the great Con. Virginia mine
and swung the pick by the side of Mac
key the now multo-millionaire. Then
the Central Pacific railroad began to
be talked about.
Mr.. Proctor invested his money in
saw mills and owned four along the
rrnckee when Crystal Peak and that
vicinity was booming. His mills cut the
fret lumber and no furnished the rail
road with enough OF it to build miles of
track.
He came to Wadsworth some twenty
two years ago., lived on the Lower Brown
ranch down the river. He afterwar IL
moved to wadsworth and opened q
butcher-sliop when he conducted for
years without competition, finally drift
ing back to farming and owning, al the
tine OF his death a valuable ranch prop
erty abour two milds from Wadsworth.
Daniel Proctor's character was that OF
the general pioneer. He IVES brave,
generous and honest. He made no pre-
tentions toward being faultless, but
therefore ann nearer leading a perfect
life. His purse was always open At
charty's call, no man went hungry from
his door. no public enterprise lacked his
assistance and he had u kind word for
every little child. The foundation
stones Of Union Church we're his gift
and they are like his character, plain
but substantial and serving their every
purpose, a tower OF strength for the
good.

About n quarter of eleven O'Clock Sat-

to have been felt underground. On the

Millions in Silver.

The huge vault at the Mint, known
as vault c, in which has been sealed
up for nearly four years 90, 900, 600 OF
standard silver dollars was opened
few days ago, and the long and lab
orious task of counting this big
amount of money was begun. As
the occasion was deemed one OF I'M
portance, says the Philadelphia
Times, there was observed some
little formality, Major G. ID. Iwnos-
end. cashier of the Mint, having
been given the combination OF the
vault, proceeded to open the door,
On the inside door, fastened by
sealing wax, was sheet of foolscap
paper containing the statement that
$50, ZOO, 900 had been placed there
on February Z, 1890, with Maj. Me-
line, Of the Treasury; B. F. Butler,
of the Mint Bureau; and James q.
Eyster, of the Mint, present, and
that, further, Sl7, 100000 more had
been sealed up on May 26, 1891.

been arranged in different stacks.

THE SILVER PARTY

In discussing the correct policy 10
be pursued by the Silver party, the
following sensible talk is found IN an
editorial from the Silver State:
ssThe course pursued two years
ago by the intelligent, honest and
conscientious voters Of Nevada and
sister States, and their persistent
fight on the same lines ever since,
have caused the leaders of even the
Republican party to train their sails
to the silver breezes and they are be-
coming fluent takers in favor OF re-
monet;zation. Not, however, with
any view of giving us the required
immediate legislation, but to stem
the tide and avert the coming party
disaster for d season and gain it an
other lease of power for four years
by false promises. with the hope that
something may turn up to settle the
silver question to the satisfaction OF
the money power and with the acqui,
escence Of the people. When they
think it has become necessary to re-
tain or gain party or ascendancy IN
the government either of the old
parties will give the required legisla-
ton on any subject
The only way t. demonstrate this
necessity to their comprehension Is
by disintegration. Let the rank and
file desert in squads and large quaint
tiles and join an organized opposi-
ton, vote and keep voting against
them, snow them under, smother
and crush them beneath avalanches
of public indignation and righteous
wrath so they will not know where
they are at. Then, and not till then,
will they open their eyes and be
willing t. heed the demands OF the
people and not the commands of the
mercerary and rich and freebooter
syndicates and moneyed combines
and rally in earnest around the free
coinage standard. Let the people
pursue this course. and keep up the
fight without a moments cessation of
hostilities,i
