THEIR RECORD On sILv Err.

As the Republicans are evidently
shaping their policy to pretend to be
friends Of silver, i: is just as well to ex.
anime a little into their record on the
subject. 1t is what parties do when in
power, and not what they promise to do
while out, that settles the question OF
their sincerity. Talk is cheap, but it
takes the votes Of Senators and Con-
gressmen to pass a free coinage bill. The
following record shows how the Repub-
licans vote on q measure Of that kind.
Briefly told it is as follows:
Demonetized silver, 1873.
Defeated coinage bill, 1875.
Defeated free coinage In 1878, and
substituted the silver purchasing Act.
In the House, June 26, 1856, % Re-
publicsns voted for silver and 100
against. April s, 1883. Republicans for
silver, 30; against. 90. June 7. 1888,
Republicans for silver. 10; against, l27.
In the Senate, june II, 1890, there
were Is Republican votes for silver and
25 against.
In the House. March "a. 1892. for sill.
yer, IL; against. 81.
Senate. July 2. 1892, for silver. IL;
against. 10.
House. July ID. 1892, for silver. 9;
against. 60. House, August %, 1898,
for silver, ID; against, Ill. This was
the vote to repeal the purchasing clause
of the Sherman Act at the extra SEES
sion.)
The Bland Seigniorsge bill. which
Cleveland vetoed, received only Is Re.
publican votes in the House, while ITO
were cast against it. 10 the Senate, Is
votes for and 20 against.
Ii there is anything in all this to
show that the Republican party will
ever do anything for silver, they are
welcome to make the most Of it.

II is noteworthy that the Presidents
Of republics, representing the best form
Of popular government, appear to be the
easiest victims Of the assassin. Presi-
dent Lincoln wal shot while attending .
theatrical performance; President Gar
field was assassinated in q railway sta
tion. Neither was attended by o body
guard. The President Of France wa
stabbed to death while standing in his
carriage, also apparently unattended by
guardsmen. On the other hand, the
Car Of Russia, whose life has been
sought for years. has gone surrounded by
watchful aids. and this watchfulness, in
several notable instances, has saved his
life. II would seem as if there should
be some protection to every ruler from
the violence Of the mailman or an an
archist.

II cannot understand why the living
should be afraid of the dead, who can
not harm them" said Z. R. Turner, for
many years an undertaken and EN-.
balmer, to a Cincinnati Enquirer re.
porter. They always are, and l am
not free from it myself, although l
have handled thousands of bodies. At
one time I had q fright that / will
never forget. l was embalming a corpse
when q muscular contraction caused by
the chemicals took place. The arm
dropped from the table where the body
lay, and the hand struck me On the
knee. II was so sudden that before l
knew il l had gone through the window
with . single jump; and. even after ]
had recovered. 1 could not have finished
my work that night to save my life.
You never get used to unusual move
ments of dead bodies. even though yor
know what causes them"

disions in the State Of Nevada:

by them; l7.l7 per cent OF the farm
owning families " subject to incum'
brsnce and So. SO per cent own free from

New ToRK, March I7.-A special to
The Herald from Rio says that Mr.. An
derson, the agent Of the Royal Mail
Steamship company, refused Da Cana
passage to Europe. Da Cana boarded
the French cruiser about j a. m. ON the
day when his feet surrendered with q
few of his principal officers. abandoning
his men. Other officers sought refuge
on the British and Portuguese war
ships in the harbor. Both sides condemn
their action as most cowardly. The
ships were found TO have little food ON
board. while the land garrisons were
without supplies or water. The Portu-
guese officers refuse to give up any Of
the insnrgens officers who took refuge
on their ships. The minister of foreign
affairs has informed them that Da CANA
is not an ordinary political offender,
and that IL is their duty to give
him up, on the assurance the Bra
lillian government that he and his Off
GERS win be tried by a formal tribunal.
An official telegram to this effect has
gone to Lisbon, and Brazilians are in
censed against the Portuguese over the
affair. The English also get their share

IL appears that many OF those who
leased school lands two years or more
ago from the state have broken up the
land in many instances and cultivated it.
This becoming known, the last legisla-
ture passed an amendment 20 the law
providing that no lands shall be leased
for a longer time than Eve years and for
no other purpose than for meadow and
pasturage. Now, those who have SO
leased and cultivated the land for grain
raising purposes, are greatly worried and
find themselves in an embarrassing po-
sition. Especially 10 this the case in the
southern counties where much school
land has been brought under cultivation.
