Corbett's Latest.

Pittsburg. Pa, February T.
James j. Corbett, champion Of the
world, arrived in Pittsburg yesterday
aud played to standing room only at
the Bijou last night. After the per-
Torrance he said: ''Outside Of tax
ing my parents on tour of Ireland,
and my meeting with Peter Jackson,
| have nothing to say of my future.
1t is not true that jackson has the
selection of the place at which we
shall fight. / Will have something
to saw about 1t. One genuine offer,
that of tine Tacoma club, has been
made. In the event of Denver
Smith defeating Jackson before our
meeting, which you suggest as pos
siblity, | will not fight Jackson. 1t
is under such a possibility that l
would honor challenge from Den
yer Smith. The story that | am to
retire after my battle with Jackson
is also wrong | will defend the
championship title as long as | am
able to do so, which | hope will be
fer some time yet.

COLORADO POPULISTS.

The Durango, Colorado, Daily
Herald says of the situation in the
Centennial State.
The Herald having silver for its
motto cannot conscientiously support
either Of the two old parties at the
present time, for both as now con
trolled, are opposed to silver, leaving
the Peoples as the only true
silver party Even If the People 5
party does not secure control OF the
Government it will sooner or later
force one of the two opposing parties
TO restore silver to the people, and III
doing this it will accomplish a glor-
ious work. Again, the People
party is lust as strong in Colorado
as it ever was. True, a large major
ity do not endorse the policy OF Gov
ernor Waite, and this Fall will see
that he is retired, and as the
Herald remarked prior to the meet
ing Of the general assembly after the
call had been made, that the respon-
sibility of remaining in session and
burdening the State with debt would
be transferred from Waite and his
Populistic advisers to the Republic
can party which has majority in the
lower House

Valiant, the French bomb throw
er, said at least one good thing while
on his way to the block. He refused
TO see the prison chaplain, saying:
II do not believe in religion. 1t is
all sham. Let those who profess
religion give some evidence of it by
extending helping hand to the de
serving poor. This will do more to
crush anarchy than all the armies of

A GOLDBUG OBJECT LESSON

A discharge of five more employees
a. the Carson mint is another object
lesson in goldbugism. Instead OF
the mint being closed it should be
running to its full capacity coming
standard silver dollars from the bull
lion stored in Uncle Sans vaults.
Imagine, if you can, the difference 1t
would make in this State if every
miner could get his bullion coined
into legal tender dollars at the Car
son mint. Business would be BOOM
ing, money plenty, employment Tor
everybody, good prices for all pro-
ducts, and no one would care nick
ell whether he had to pay fifty cents
more for flannel shirt or not.
Why it is that any Nevadan of
ordinary intelligence should vote to
keep the goldbugs in power is beyond
the comprehension OF ordinary NOR

The Enterprise pays this tribute to
the above named gentleman:
1t is reported that Lieutenant
George Stockle, of the 18th United
States Cavalry, has been appointed
to succeed Lieutenant Neall as Mill
tary Instructor at the State univer-
sity, the appointment to take effect
in June, when Lieteuant Neall's term
expires. Lieutenant Stockle was
appointed from Eureka county to the
West Point Military Academy.
During Lieutenant Neall's incum-
bency CT the position of Military In
structor at the State University he
brought order out of chaos, and the
Young gentlemen of the University
have been instructed In all the
branches taught at the United States
Academy at West Point.
While not Martinez, Lieutenant
Neall is strict disciplinariar, and
during his long service in the regular
cavalry on frontier posts gained a
vast amount of practical experience
In actual warfare and always acquit-
ted himself with credit, Without
any disparagement to his successor
the Enterprise would like to see
Lieutenant Neal retained Ill his
present position.

The Secret of Success Through the

The success of advertising depends

the goods be advertises at the price
stated. A "tiuke ad." is a poor in

How To Improve Poor Soil.

In the summer of 1893 | took
charge OF sixty acres of land in the
South, upon which an OK, a mule
and a family of six negroes were
gradually starving themselves and
the land. The yield of the place the
year before was one bale of cotton
tifteen barrels of corn and husks,
and few bushels of yams. Depen-
dung upon the advice of Professor
Massey, and ignoring the criticisms
OF my neighbocs, proceeded to fill
the soil with vegetab BILE matter and
plant food by turning under COW
peas and crimson clover. | planted
no crops until | had done this. Nv
hrst crop of cotton was planted on a
heavy growth of pea vines that had
died on the ground. My first crop
OF corn was fed on the decayed roots
of crimson clover. Starting with
four head of stock and $500, there is
now on the place ten good milch
cows and four mules. Last wear the
farm produced twenty bales of cot
ton, |, 900 bushels of corn and feed
Tor the COWS, whose milk made l 800
pounds of butter-the net profit
being nearly $1,000. All this was
done under extremely adverse cir
cumstances, as | was compelled to
be away much of the time and re-
liable hel p was scarce.
BY turning under COW peas and
crimson clover, feeding cotton-seed
meal to stock instead of applying it
to the soil, carefully saving the man
ure and using it on the crimson
clover, there is hope for the Door
man of the South. Commercial
fertilizers do not give as good results
