SOUTHERN INCONSISTENCY.

In speech at the National Silver
Convention at Des Moines, on the 22d
inst, P. G.. Howard of Alabama said
"It occurs to me that there is way
that we can again establish free coin
age in this country. I am convinced
by what / see that there is commu-
nifty of interest between the people of
Iowa and those of Alabama. Their
legislation affects agriculturists in the
Northwest in the same way it affects
cotton growers in the South-w est, and
we come here to-day to make with the
people of the North covenant as
strong on the question of free coinage
as that made by God with Abraham. "
That was well and appropriately said,
Mr.. Howard, but when you return to
the bosom of those you represent will
you breathe the same heroic senti-
mentsl When you return to the land,
where sectional prejudices have taken
the place of " comnianity of interest"
blocked the wheels of national prog
ress and hindered the development of
the South for three quarters of Gen.
fury, will you then periodically advo-
cate the community of interest of all
parts of your country North, South,
East and Westl 1t is comparatively
easy for Southern man to stand up
in an assemblage of Northern men,
surrounded by all the energy and
stimulating influences peculiar to
Northern enterprise and following
the dictates of reason and the patri-
otto impulses of the heart, boldly
renounce class and sectional legisla-
ton, Loyalty advocate the adjustment
of sectional animosities, the sweeping
away of the old battered and disig-
ured remnants of the animosity and
jealousy of days gone by and acting
on the inspiration and impulse of the
moment invite his industrious friend
to the Mason and Dixon line, reach
across the bloody chasm of war, seize
his Northern brother by the hand and
say, come brother, you and l are one.
But Mr.. Howard how is it when you
return to the arms of those among
whom you were born, raised and ed
ucsted. The invigorating influences
of Northern activity will be supplant-
ed by the dull monotony of Southern
inactivity. The desire for national
progress will give place to sectional
preference, your visionary and vain
burst of patriotism will be lost in the
tumble of Southern pride and jealousy
and your fanciful scheme of commun-
ity of in terest will dwindle and fade
into insignifcance.

shocked to learn from the sister In

MIDwlNTER FAIR LETTER.

EDITOR News Thinking a few
notes from the metropolis of the Paci-
fic Coast might interest your readers,
an old White Piners observations
during few weeks stay in the city
are thus briefly narrated.
Of course the Midwinter Fair is the
first topic and first place Nevadan
visits upon arriving in the city. l
have visited Palm City four times, and
while there are many things really
attractive and well worth the price of
admission, people who come all the
way from Nevada solely for the pur-
pose of seeing the Fair will be disap-
pointed. There are some fine build
ings on the grounds and some displays
of CALIFORNIA; varied products. I
was out there on st. Patricks day,
which was fine and sunny. Fully
100000 people entered the gates and
the Shamrock and Lilly were entwined
in button-hole bouquets and ladies
hats. 1t was green along the path
ways beside the passing multitude
and streamers and flags of the same
deep hue waved from hundred flag
stats. doubt if Dublin, Irelands
ancient capital, was ever so gaily
decked in green and gold as was Palm
City last Saturday. At night the dis
plays of fireworks and electric lights
were grand beyond description.
went out to the Nevada Building
which is not yet quite completed,
where met but few old Nevadans.
The first floor is devoted to agricul-
tural products and Elko and Washoe
counties make fine displays. On this
floor I found nothing from White Pine
county. The second story is devoted
to mineral exhibits. Here | found
two bins of Chairman ore, conspicu-
ously labelled and one of Joana ore.
These samples are in pulp and attract
ed great deal of attention. On the
top gallery is the Nevada cafe, kept
by that genial gentleman, Harry
Flannery, late Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Nevada Assembly, who took your
correspondent in hand and showed
him around the premises. One draw
back to the Nevada building is that it
is over the hill from Palm City pro-
per and not very conveniently located.
Yesterday was to be Nevada day at the
Fair, but it has been postponed till
some time in April as there were not
enough Nevadans here to get up a
celebration.
Just behind the Nevada building is
the 40 Camp perhaps the greatest
burlesque that could be invented. 1t
resembles anything but lively mining
camp of the old days or even the pres
ent time. ''Mt Shasta" painted on
canvas, is very pretty illusion and
really the only thing worthy of note
| saw there, if | except pretty Miss
who decorated visitors button-holes
with bouquets for the low price of
ten cents. Oh, yes! the the dance hall;
well took that in too. They try to
make speciality of high kicking, but
bless your soul, they don't know how.
