movement Tor the development of
the arid region. The committee con-
sisted Of q number of Western men.
1t was the intention of the committee
to begin the work Of examining some
important stream in each State. and
bill was formulated by a sub.com-
mittee and I named the Humboldt
RIVER as being the most important in
the State. I did this fer two reasons
because did not wish to be liable
to the imputation of having favored
my own section of the State, and
again because the rivers of the western
part of the State had been fully ex
plot I'd By governmentaland private
enterprise. 1t is the purpose of the
government to examine the sources
OF the river and it's tributaries for the
purpose OF storing in the mountains
the waters. For this purpose $4,000
was named for the Humboldt. In
order to get this through it was nee
essary to first get the consent of the
committee on Appropriations. It
was deemed inadvisable at that ses-
sion to present the request to that
committee owing to the strained at
tempt at a record for economy Just
before election for campaign purposes
but when the election has passed and
the Democratic party is not engaged
In an economy record it is hoped that
the measure can be passed. With
the cession of one million acres of
arid land to each State, with the in
auguration Of this preliminary survey
which is to be but the beginning, the
State will be in position to begin
harmonious development in her min
ing industry, which is paramount,
and in an agricultural line. While
attending to these matters, I had in
no way abated from the fight and in
terest and Importance of the Silver
question. With an earnest struggle
nnyielding in it's independence, vic
tory will crown our efforts and it lies
with the people of the State to ex-
press their unified sentiment this fall. !"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Newlsnd's
address, Hon. Thos. Wren was il. tro-
duced. Want Of space prevents us
from giving but smell portion of his
address. He reviewed the history of
the Silver party and spoke as follows
regarding the stand the people OF Ne
vada should take until justice was
done to her most important indus
try: .... ... .....
Fellow citizens. Mr.. Newlands has
informed You of the achievements of
the Silver party. He has told you
how it has aroused the whole country.
1t has done much for it has blazed
the way for Montana, Idaho, Col

next two years. Had Colorado adopt
ed our course her majority would
have been as large as GUS. All the 70
States will fall into Ines laid out In
the next two years. They will place
eight silver Senators in the Senate
devoted to free silver, and they will
say to the Louisiana sugar man, to the
coal and iron men, that You cannot
have protection until You give us pre-
lection for silver.

who discussed the issues before the
people of Nevada IN the present Gang
paign in speech brimful of telling
points and unanswerable logic. Fol
lowing Is short synopsis of his re-
marks:
Twenty one years ago the greatest
revolution known to hi story occurred.
1t was peaceful one the consequ en-
ces OF which we're not anticipated.
1t took the shape of the destruction of
one of the money metals of the world.
There being only two, gold and silver.
That revolution took the shape Of leg
islation, not war, not rebellion. It
was accomplished by legislation by
the secret omission of thres words
athe silver dollar" from the Mint act
containing thousands of words and
that omission denied silver admission
to the mints Of the county. That
revolution continued and other coun-
tries followed, France, Germany, Bel
GUM, Italy struck silver from the
statute books. We have been engag-
ed for twenty one years for remoneti-
cation. 1t is twenty-one years since
the agitation for silver commenced,
twenty one years of broken promises,
OF hopes unrealized, twenty one years
OF falling prices, eliminating in n
in period Of distress, dismay and
bankruptcy. During that time gold
has been going NY, while it's rival sill
yer has gon, down and wi h it all the
varied products with labor Itself
Corn, wheat, cotton all have gons
down. Labor was the last to 90
down because it opposed q will force.
During this struggle where has the
interests Of Nevada been? She was
interested in the production of Silver
and it was the basis Of all her indust-
ries.. During all this time gold has
been going up and silver going down
and all other products fell alike be-
cause money measures values. In
this contest where do the pc ople stand?
You must admit the owners of gol
are few and the owners of other
property, the many. While the gold
trust has been united we friends Of
silver have bean divided. They have
been fighting for. tariff, for railroad
rates. for freight rates, for the single

Secrecy in Leg islation.

The theory of legislation in this
country is that it shall be the
result of open debate and Of con.
sideration in public. The House
bill was an excellent example Of the
great advantages of proceeding in
accordance with a theory which has
been found to work well, not only
by the people of this country, but
by the English-speaking race
Public debate enlightened the House
and the country during the consid.
Grafton of the Wilson bill. Il re.
suited in positive and valuable, be-
cause intelligent declarations Of the
will Of the Democratic majority, in
the adoption of an amendment,
making all sugar free, in refusal
to place iron ore and coal OH the
dutiable list, or to postpone the date
on which wool should begin to be
free. In brief, it resulted in bet.
ter bill than that which had been
reported to the committee of Ways
and Means. The parliamentary
proceedings in the House, notwith.
standing closure and the govern.
ment of the committee on rules
bore a resemblance to the great de.
bates which characterized Congress
in the earlier day, and the records
of which lead us to regard the men
of that time as of loftier stature
than those of the present. The pro.
ceedings in the Senate, where clos
ure does not exist, bore the mark Of
caucus dictation, of the power Of

The Outlook.

Dun for last week reports a more
hopeful outlook in business in the
near future, and in fact every ig-
dication points in that direction.
Dun says:
An important change in the state
of business is near at hand. Con-
gress will act on the tariff question,
one way or the other, in all pro-
liability, within a week. If it pas
ses the pending bill, or if it fails, in
either case the definite basis for
future business will enable many to
act who are now waiting. Whether
the one course or the other would
stimulate the greater increase, it is
certain that either would give relief
from present paralyzing uncertain
ties, and cause some increase in bust
ness at least for time. So much
business has been deferred during
the past year, and merchandise stocks
so reduced, that the mere approach
of a decision, without certainty what
it is to be, has this week encouraged
large preparations for increased bust
ness. In spite of outgoing gold
and sinking treasury reserves, small
railroad earnings, some injury to
crops, and increased trouble in the
coke regions, the tone and the out
look are more hopeful. The injury
to crops by hot winds and drought,
if as great as some report, will af-
feet all interests, but at this season
it is never easy to distinguish be-
tween local and general damage.

Bay City Claims it.

Unless something unforeseen
transpires, says the Bay City Tri-
bune, Hon. X. o. Crump, of West
Bay City, will be the Republican
nominee for congressman in the
Tenth district this fall. Mr.. Crump
has now a majority of the delegates
to the congressional convention en-
listed under his banner and is gain
ing strength every day. Out of 90
delegates 40 have been instructed to
vote for the popular West Bay City
executive, and his chances for the
nomination are now beyond dispute,
The present outlook is that only
one ballot will be necessary, and
even that may be dispensed with
and the nomination made by accla-
nation, when it is found the con-
census of opinion leans so strongly
in Mr.. Crump's direction.
Mr.. Crump is chairman of the
Republican congressional committed
of the Tenth district. He was asked
yesterday when the convention
would be called.
"On or about August DIST" h,
replied.
The chairman said he had writ
ten to the other members recon-
mending East Tawas as the conven
ton place and asking their views OF
the subject. Up to date he has re
ceived seven responses and the ma
jority seem to prefer East Tawas
though Alpena has several support
ers. The call for the convention
will be issued as soon as word is re
ceived from the other members o
the congressional committee, whicl
should be within a week.
East Tawas," said Mr.. Crumr
"can take care of the convention
: without any trouble. She has a
excellent hotel, and the citizens il
respective of party, say they wi
entertain the delegates in good STYLE
The city is delightfully."- situated

German and the Sugar Trust

Democrats have been puzzled for
some time to know who among the
little clique of recreant Democratic
(?) senator's was the special agent
and trusted servant of the sugar
trust. Senator Gallery of Loui-
siana resolved that doubt when
he divulged the following bit of
secret history after Germans des-
perate attempt to shirk the respon-
sibility of the senate amendments
to the Wilson bill upon the Pres
ident Senator Gallery said:
= Il took that schedule to the f.
nance committee and gave it to
Senator Jones. Mr.. Jones, after a
calculation, pointed out that in the
differential allowed the refiners was
concealed differential greater than
that in the Mckinley law. There
upon withdrew it. After further
consultation | presented another
schedule, placing | cent on raw and
Ii on refined. SO it remained for
some time when ] was admonished
by Mr.. German and Mr.. Brice that
this second schedule meant free
sugar. Mr.. Jones told us that the
sugar-refning interests would favor
free sugar if that schedule was in
sisted upon. He wanted me to
accept 40 per cent. OH raw and re-
fined and l differential on refined. -
That schedule was not acceptable
to me or the sugar-growers, and |
want the country to know that it
was dictated by the refining i'll
terests. At last we accepted it.
with the understanding that the
bounty provision for 1894 should
stand. | call on Senators Vest and
Jones to say whether what ] have
said is not true"
The silence of Senators Vest and
Jones proved the truth of the charge
and the incident as whole fully
warrants the following condem-
nation of German by the N. Y. Post
This is perfectly crushing ex-
posure. It shows up German as
the secret attorney of the Sugar
Trust all the way through. He
stands unmasked. There is no more
pitiable object in public life than an
exposed hypocrite. This man made
three hours speech OH Monday in
denunciation of what he called ex-
ecutive interference with the Senate,
affirming that he and his faction
had been sacrificing their own prin-
ciples and views of the public good
to the necessity of framing tariff
bill that could command forty-three
votes. How were these votes to be
had? BY yielding TO the Louisiana
Senators duty of 40 per cent. ad
valorem on all sugars and l-S cent
additional on refined. Now comes
the Louisiana Senator and says it is
no such thing. Instead of German
yielding the 1-8 cent to him, he
yielded it to German. The sugar
re6neries seeking protection were
not in his state, but in Maryland,
Ohio and New Jersey. That settles
the whole question. Everybody
suspected beforehand that German,
Brice and Smith were the props
and bulwarks of the Sugar Trust
Now they know it. What their
reasons are may be inferred from
the fact that German, with all his
cheek, is ashamed to avow them,
but seeks to put the blame on Gallery
and Blanchard. The upshot is that
German committed the greatest mis-
take of his life when he made that
three hours speech attacking the
President. IL he had kept his
mouth shut, he would not have
drawn Caffery's fire."
