Baltimore American: othe Chinese

Boston Journal: If there are no

CATION.
St. Louis GlObe-Democrat: The most
bitter part of German speech against

Congressional Record. and hence the
public will have to conclude that the
Maryland Senator lacks the courage

John Bull. The sinking of the Kow

New York Sun: Hon. William Jen-

POpulist of the ways and e a COM
mittee, and the general sounding board
and vocal hat Of the regions beyond
the Mississippi, is to become the edi-
tor of that curious compound, the
Omaha World Herald. He will write
his leading articles with a red hot
poker on wood, and they will be re-

Kansas City Star: Governor Hogg, |

Making Good Hutter.

Julius Hanny. proprietor of the
Cape Creamery. informs us hat he is
turning out about forty pounds of
butter every day. He could turn out
three or four times this amount if he
could get milk. but at this season of
the year milk seems to be scarce and
Mr.. Hanny says it is hard work to get
enough to make forty pounds of but

This dry weather makes plenty OF
dust and is damaging the corn crop
all over this >ectio n of the country.
Corn has been selling for a. much a.
SiXty-tivr cents per buShel and the
dry weather indicates thatfarmers will
probably get more for the present crop
than they are getting for their wheat.
Rain at present would not benefit early
corn and if delayed a few weeks more
late corn will make very little.

NENLiNDS AND THE TICKET.

The railroad gang in Esme-
ralda county has inundated the
electors of Hawthorne, press and
all, to such an extent that no
matter how strongly man may
feel towards the Silver Party, he
is afraid to express himself that
way. Two years ago, when H.
NJ. Yerington was absent in
"Yourope" Esmeralda was solidly
silver. This year there is q diff
ference, and everything that he
can do. in any way, is being done
to pull Esmeralda into line with
the rotten, debauched and pros
tituted old Republican Party. 1t
is reported that Fl. M. is making
a fight for Mr.. Newlands, but that
he is the only man on the Silver
Ticket that will receive the sup
port of the Yerington gang. The
cause of this change of heart in
some Of the people who were two
years ago with the Silver Party
is so apparent that the situation
is ludicrous, and the traitors in
the camp should be, and will be
held up to the scorn OF all fair
thinking men this Fall.-Lyon
County Times.
In a case of that kind the voters
of Esmeralda had better ascertain
from Mr.. Newlands if he proposes
to allow H. Nj. Yerington to pick
him out to support and fight the
rest of the ticket. Newlands is
the head OF the Silver party in
this State and with his election
every nominee must go in, down
t o the Constable.
wlands can easily regulate
the acts of his over jealous sup
porters. iIet him wheel the V. &
Il. in line in every county where
the road runs, or his own political
engine viii be derailed.
There must be no mistake about
this and he should see that mat
tiers are properly adjusted without
delay.

WHERE DOES HE LIVE!

Judge Richard Rising has been
Judge in this district for over
thirty years, and in that length of
time has drawn nearly 100000
from the State of Nevada in sal
airy, but you cannot find where he
pays taxes on a dollars worth of
property in the State. His H. "a
residence is at the Palace Hotci ii
San Francisco.
We do not blame him for resid-
ing there if he chooses, but think
it little inconsistent for him to
still want the people of this State
to keep him in luxury in foreign
State. If he chooses to reside in
San Francisco or any other part
Of California he has the right to
do so, but he ought to look to the
people there for votes to elect him
to the fat position he has held SO
long. Mr.. Rising's opponent,
Hon. G, E. Mack, is bona fide
resident Of Nevada. He keeps his
family here, pays taxes in the
State, and finds that Nevadans,
who afford him a lucrative prac-
tice, are good enough to live with.
His record is clear. and there is
not a Silver party man in this
judicial district who can find any
substantial reason for not voting
for him. In this county we be-
lieve Mr.. Mack will run right
along with the entire ticket. There
is no reason why he should not
He is thoroughly qualified to oil
the office, and it is the duty Of the
party to see that he is our next
District Judge. So let it be-
