Abraham Linooln,s words.


EDITORS HERALD:-I am surprised at

of Abraham Lincoln in not liberating the
poor white men of America from slavery.
You certainly have forgotten President
Lincoln's words of neutrality-suspicious.

"It has been indeed trying time for
the republic. But | see in the near fu-
ture q crisis approaching that unnerves
me and causes me to tremble for the
safety of our country.
have been enthroned, and an era
OF corruption in high places
will follow, and the money power
of the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by working upon the
prejudices OF the people, until all wealth
is aggregated in a Jew hands and the
republic is destroyed. | feel at this
moment more anxiety for the safety of
our country than ever before, even in
the midst of the war. God grant that
my suspicious may prove groundless l''
These were the words of our martyred
president. Would that we had needed
his admonitions, his warnings; there
would not be the serfs and wandering
army of unemployed this~ country 10
teeming with today. hungry and nothing
to cat, willing to work but nothing to
do. Gould mortal man have said more
than Abraham Lincoln did in reference
to our present deplorable condition?

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-Farmer Say

which the smooth confidence men
wanted Snyder to pay for gold bricks

was Johnson, who called at Snyder's
ranch with plausible story of rich
mine in Arizona. and he wanted Snyd
son to manage it, as he could not trust
other men. Elder Snyder took the bait
and the engagement was made to meet
johnson in Oakland where they
would 60 into the hills and see
AN old Indian who had two solid gold
bars for sale cheap. The bargain was
made and johnson, on his way to the
CITY to get the $4,000, dropped into Price

him to go to the police. who immedi-
ately cot on the robbers' trail, but they

SAN Francisco. Oct. 4.-The supreme
ourt has decided that the custody of
state and county school funds belongs to
the county treasurer and not to the city
treasurer. as legislative amendment of
1898 decresd. The decisions say that
the legislature exceeded its power in
making nuch amendments to former
acts. The case in point was that
OF Louis Belouch, a principal in
the public schools OF San Jose,
who asked for writ OF mandate on the
refusal of the city treasurer to pay him
his salary. City Treasurer Colombet be.
lieved he was not the proper person to
pay such demands. The opinion was
written by Commissioner Jackson
Temple and concurre6 in by the court,
and closes with the following words:
II think that the law authorizing the
city treasurer to have the custody OF
state and school moneys, is invalid, be-
cause it violates the requirement of uni
formity and the provisions prohibiting
special and local laws in the manage
ment of the common schools. On this
ground, therefore. I am of the opinion
that writ OF mandate in this case
should be denied"

bility for the sentiments expressed.l
Sonata Jones and the Republican Party.
EDITORS HERALD The question has
been discussed at some length in and
out of the papers, Was Senator Jones
justified in leaving the Republican party
because of its failure to stand by the
free coinage of silver on basis OF 16 to
l? The Republican state central COM
mittee OF the etate of Nevada went 80
far as to ask the senator to resign.
A few facts regarding the Republican
party OF the state of Nevada will throw
a new light on this subject.
In 1888 the vote of that state stood as
follows:
Republican ........................... 0S5
democrat OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. b, l27
Prohibition Observation-Disclosures. Al
TOTAL .......'................-. .12,253
In 1892 change had come over the
people of that state and the votes stood
SO follows:
republican .................-.......... 2,S1l
pn3se -'.''''..'''...... ad4
aopuiibts ........' ...-.................. T,264
prohibition ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. SO
Total mum.
Here was falling off in four years OF
1875 votes.
We find, however, that 4274 Republic
cans left that party. leaving behind only
29ll. In short, large majority of tMs
Republicans of Nevada made change
of base. Was it the duty of Senator
Jones to stand by large majority of the
voters who sent him to the United States
senate, or should he abandon the major
ity and stand by the minority?
There is no question but that Senator
Jones represents the etate of Nevada
and not the Republican party of that
state, and that it Is his duty to take such
course as will, in his judgment, best
accomplish the results desired by the
people OF that etate-espeoislly is this
course justifable when it is sanctioned
by large majority OF the voters who
placed him in that position. His course
is not only sanctioned by majority of
the voters of the Republican party OF
that state. but it is also sanctioned by q
majority Of the voters of the state.
