REPUBLICANS of this State are
enthusiastic over the planks in the
platforms of the Republican con-
ventions of some of the eastern
States, and also the resolution adopt
ed at the meeting If Republican
Leagues in Denver, in regard tosil-
yer. The proposition of free coin
age is not mentioned in a single
plank or resolution. If they are
sincere in what they are now saving
in explanation of these resolutions
the Republican party of this State
will put a silver plank in the plat
form something like this: 1--WE are
in favor of the use of both gold and
silver as money, provided, the latter
metal is not too obnoxious to John
Sherman, Tom Reed, England,
Germany, and other foreign gold
standard countries"

THE S. F. Examiner is forwarding
petitions to all of its subscribers to
be filled out by signatures of people
who are in favor of the Government
taking the railroads. We have not
seen a petition of this kind in this
place, buff one was to be circulated
it would, no doubt, receive the sig
natures of a large majority of the
people here. 1.-THE government can
handle the mail it can just as well
handle the trains that carry it; also
all freight and passengers

THE war is on between Japan and
China. Several battles have been
fought on land and sea, the Japs
being victorious on the water and
the Chinese on the land. There is
a possibility of Russia and England
being drawn into the affair over
possessions in Corea. However the
war may terminate, the heather
killed in battle will be sure not to
land in this country.

"RLACK, WALLACE.

Several of the Grand (?) Old
Party papers of this State are hav-
ing considerable to say about G. G..
Wallace and has Silver Party of
Nevada, and are claiming that the
party is only in the interest of Wal
lace and his friends. These papers
are showing their hands, and the
workings of the G. o. P, of which
Mr.. Wallace was a most influential
member, up to two years ago, pretty
plainly. They should not give the
secrets of the dear old defunct Re-
publican party away in such man
ner. So far as &C. Wallace is con-
cerned, he will have little to do with
the selection of a Silver ticket in
this State. He is a member of the
Silver Party, but because he ruled
the Republican party in this State
when he was member of it, it does
not follow that the Independent
voters of this State will blindly fol-
low Mr.. Wallace's advice The
gentleman is a politician of no mean
ability, but there are others in the
State who are just as capable of
shaping a campaign as ne, and when
the State Silver Convention meets
in Carson, on the 4th of next month,
it will be found to be composed IF
the most independent set of men in
this State. They will be men whom
Mr.. Wallace nor any other person
can influence to do anything that
would be to the detriment of the
Silver Party of the State of Nevada.
The only kick the G. @. P. papers
have against Mr.. Wallace is because
he is not with them to help make
the people believe that their prom
Uses will be kept, and that the G. 0.
P. is sincere in its reformation and
repentance. But the people have
been fooled long enough.

IT MAKES very little difference


IT MAKES very little difference
what kind of name the independ-
ent voters of this State choose to
adopt. The Silver Party of this
State won great victory two years
ago, and they, as the independent
voters, will win another victory
next Fall, whether they are styled
Populists or Silver Party followers.
1t would be little preferable, we
think, to have a straight-out, clean
cut Populist organization in the
State, as that is the only party of
national standing that favors the
free coinage of silver. But what
ever the action taken, there should
be nothing but harmony in the
ranks of the independent voters OF
Nevada. A division of sentiment
is what the Republicans and few
Democrats are trying to bring about
as that is the only hope the Demo
Republican combine would have to
secure trick.

ONE would judge from the ques-
tions and remarks of counsel for the
defense in the Woodland examina-
ton into the murder of Sam Clark
and the boys in blue, that the Uni
ted States is a monster, its soldiers
depraved human butchers, and its
laws worthy only of contempt and
defance.-Record Union.
Well, is it not about so?

FULL OF PRUNEs ANDPRomIsEs

1t is taking considerable of the
time of Republican writers in this,
and other silver States, to explain
their party's position on the silver
question. They never go back far
enough, however, to show that it
was the Repu blicans who demone-
tized silver, and thereby gave a
starting point to all the ills that
have befallen the country since that
time. In their anxiety to again
secure control of the government
they promise that Republican
administration will do something"
for silver; but they forget that the
records show that the Republican
party, as a whole, is thoroughly OPP
posed to free coinage-more so than
the Democratic party. They are
pointing with pride" to the planks
that are being adopted by the Re
publicans in State Conventions in
some of the eastern and western
States, but not one of these planks
says a single word about the free
coinage of silver at a ratio of Is to
l, or any other ratio. They declare
that the Republican party is in
favor of gold and silver as money.
That is all. Because some of the
prominent men in the ranks of the
Republican party have become b.
metalists, whatever that means, they
point to them and tell you that in
the Republican party lies the only
hope for the silver producing States
to ever gain a return of the prosper
ity that existed before silver was
demonetized. If this is the only
hope, the people had better make
up their minds that free coinage
will be condition they will never
see for generations to come. For
twenty-one years, now, the Repub-
Leans and Democrats have been
promising to give the people free
coinage and more money; yet to-day
about so per cent. of the Democrats
are opposed to free coinage, and
about 80 per cent. of the Republi-
cans are of the same feeling. This
is shown by their record in Congress.
Still the people of Nevada are asked
to support the Republican party
when there is a party in the field
that has a record of casting 100 per
cent. of its vote in Congress for free
coinage Verify, the piscatorialpen-
cil.pushers on the Republican
organs in this State take the people
for clans.

SENATOR STEWART is accused of
not having voted on a certain ques-
ton in relation to the tariff question,
thereby allowing the Sugar Trust
Senators to carry their point. The
Senator gave no reason for not vot-
ing except that the question did not
interest him in the least. This is
proper. What do we of Nevada
care about the tariff question? A
coarse-grained free trade law would
suit this non-manu featuring State
much better than a high protective
tariff. We believe in protection to
American industries, but as a resi-
dent of this State do not believe in
our representatives Standing in"
for everything the East wants when
her representatives are deadly OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver.
The proper way is to fight the devil
with fire. AS Stewart says, the tar
Tiff question is of very little conse-
quence compared with the financial
question. The State of Nevada can
he no worse off than she is to-day.
This condition has been brought
about by the hoggishness ofthe East,
and their idiotic policy in regard to
silver. The sooner they are given
some object lessons in the way of
having their industries crippled or
killed outright, the sooner they will
understand how the silver States
feel.

THERE is a possibility that Cleve-
land may pull the Democratic Sen
ators down on the tariff bill, but it
is not very probable.

Engineer Holmes Offers
Suggestions.

The Market-street Railroad Company was
Granted a franchise yesterday to string wires

HarbOr commissioners.
The wires are for the new electric belt line
or rather The new electric lines, that will be

The owners of the steamer Emma, that is
