If the juvenile "quill driver" of the
Lode would enlarge the scope of his
vision, it would undoubtedly dawn
upon him that delay in the arrival of
exchanges is sometimes chargeable to
lack of connections between mail
routes. The "News" has left this Office
regularly each week for the Lode by
way OF Phoebe and we had every rea-
son to believe that it was received all
right. Hereafter we will send the
"News' by way of Helene, and trust
that it will arrive more promptly. BY
the way, sonny we too, are indebted
to the generosity of neighbor, this
week, for copy of the Lode. How
ever we believe the exchange to-be
delayed while enroute to this place,
and will not charge the fault to the
Lode.

Extracts from Letter from John
Tore.
The Carson Tribune has been per-
mitted to make the following extracts
from letter received in Carson from
Senator John Tore, of Eureka:
EUREKA, Aug. IA, 1894.
The Republican party of Eureka
county Is still very much alive, but
keeping rather quiet for the present.
I have never Topped yet nor joined
the Silver Party, but have always
been a Republican, and proud to be-
long to the Grand Old Party. We
have the provisional county committee
as authorized by the State Central
Committee and are in position to
declare ourselves at any time during
the campaign. You can use my au-
thority for saying anywhere that I
am still in the party and working for
it with all my heart. Mr.. Charles
Reed, Superintendent of the Diamond
mine, says he will do all he can as a
Republican.
With my best regards to all my Re-
publican friend In the western part
of the State, believe me yours in faith,

LOST IN TIE SHUTTLE.

To be or not to be is the conundrum
/ circles high and low. Cleveland is in
trembie; his political household is not
harmonious. Carlisle is willful and has
notions of his own. Gresham's training
has been in a different school. He has
| diligently sought some imaginable horn
of some conceivable dilema upon which
he could lay hold, but in vain. He has
incubated nothing thus far save to
humiliate his old time antagonist, and
that he has failed to do.
Congress too is in an uproar. The
things which it set about doing with
such a flourish of trumpets have
ANONYMOUSLY failed. By simple act
of legislation this body was to inaugurate
an era of prosperity never before wit
messed in this country. Confidence
that much mooted substitute for worth
less silver was to pass current as a
medium of exchange, and everybody
was to ride in landau or sail yacht.
Silver was retired ard confidence failed
to show up. The result fails to tally
with the prediction-thats all.
The tariff was to be cut down-''re-
formed" as it were. There was not a
Democrat IN or out of congress who did
not know how it was to be done. II
was a theory so well ripened that it only
remained to ratify officially any one of
the many platforms adopted by the party
The hitch in the proceedings was that
| harmony overdid itself. There Is such a
thing as living in light we cannot see.
It was so in this business. The way was
so clear that it spread out over the do
main Of conflicting interests and the
herd scattered. Boss Cleveland footed
his horn, party leaders cracked the whip,
but the stampede was on and many re-
manned without the fold, so tariff reform
| died young.
Tammany also begins to show symp-
toms of dry rot. This ancient order
represents the very essence Of Democ-
racy-refned, distilled and boiled down.
II is the true vehicle through which she
has taken many bitter dose. 1t is the
mailed catspaw which has raked many
red hot chestnuts from the enemy's fire.
Ii has done the dirty work-sold itself
for pelf and and power bartered its
birthright for the pottage Of spoils. but

FASCINATION OF ANARCHY.

Anarchy is fascinating mania. That
1t Is fascinating is evident from the fact
that its followers glory in murder and
meet death as a sort of delicious and dis
tinctive pleasure.
There are mild forms of anarchy which
are as old as the world. but as they are
merely temporary, they are designated
by lighter terms.
The youth who Is sowing his wild oats
is a mild form of Anarchist. He de-
spiseS moral laws, and laughs at its
penalties, doubts the justice of all moral
codes ana passes all the restrictions of
Conventionality in contempt. Therouge
has supreme pleasure in breaking the
ietters of what he considers mere form.
He is perfectly cognizant that his course
will shorten his life but he Is the victim
OF desperation which Is fascinating As
that which enabled Valiant and Henri
to cry, Long Live Anarchy" On the
scaffold.
The Populists of this country are
largely fascinated with this idea of
anarchy, although they are not bold
enough 10 call il by that name. They
are speaking words which but poorly
conceal The thoughts which they really
entertain. They dearly love the idea of
tearing down the results of personal
ability and long years of work and
economy. They love it, not so much
with the idea of distributing it equally
again, as with the mere vindictive jov
of seeing it destroyed and helping to
do it.
The Populist does not believe in the
courts. The string which they twans
the most is the charge that the courts
are corrupt and are made for the rich.
They offer no practical method for reeti-
flying what they say IS wrong. But they
so sFmpathize aud openly with man
