WILL HAVE TO HUSTLE.

The Republicans of this county
will endeavor to place ticket in
the field next week. 1t was hoped
that Lyon comfy, the first to break
away from the two old parties
which have for twenty years past
been drawing the cinch of hard
times so tightly about the silver
miner as to shut off his subsistence,
would stand solid at this election
for silver ticket, and there would
be but one ticket in the field. But
the office seekers are too numerous.
However, let us see how the Re-
publicans are managing to put up
a ticket. The law requires that a
set of convention nominees shall
be certified to before the Clerk not
less than forty days before the day
of election. This would make the
9th of this month the last day
convention nominees would have
to get on the ballot. There is also
a law that requires that a political
party, shall hold primary election
so that the people may have a
chance to elect delegates to con
vention. The law also requires a,
notice to be given for at least one
week that such a primary is going
to be held. AS none of these re-
quirements have been complied
with, the Republican convention of
this county, if there is one held,
will be, composed of delegates sent
there with no authority or by no
authority, as there is not now time
for the County Central Committee
to meet and appoint delegates to
the convention, thereby giving that
body some semblance of legality.
Should this kind of business be
carried out it would be well for the
Silver party members to enjoin the
Clerk from placing any such ticket
on the ballot.

WELL, suppose Mr. Newlands, the
Silver Party nominee for Congress,
is a wealthy man? Does this mean
that he is not an honest and Just
man and will not faithfully attend
to the duties imposed upon him by
the people if he is reelected to fill
the position of Congressman? We
cannot see that it does. Mr. New
lands has faithfully represented the
interests of this State for the past
two years, and he will do SO again
for the next two years. In accepting
the nomination from his party he
distinctly stated that he wonld at
all times hold himself in readiness
to obey the wishes of the party
which sent him to Congress, and
that he considered that the position
ofCongressman was one of servitude
instead of dictatorship.
Mr.. Newlands is a bright and in
telligent gentleman, learned
scholar, a convincing DICTATOR, who
has made the financial question of
this country study for years. He
is well posted in regard to the wants
of this State in both the lines of
mining and agriculture, and the
fact of his being a man of means
will dispute the assertion that only
the laboring classes are in favor of
free coinage and all rich men are
gold bugs.
Besides, Mr.. Newlands has very
large interests in Nevada, both min
ing and agricultural, and will there
fore let no grass grow under his feet
in endeavoring to gain for Nevada
any point that will add to her pros
perity. He is actively engaged in

THE japanese are proving them
selves superior fighters on land or
sea to the Chinese. The first of this
week, in naval engagement the
Japs SINK five chinese warships,
although they lost three OF their
own. They also defeated the Chinese
in a land engagement and nearly
annihilated force three times the
size of their own by superior tactics
of war. In fact the Japs are gain
ing so much ground that other
European powers may step in and
take hand in the war for fear that
Japan will own the Orient soon. The
Chinese forces are sadly demorall'
zed aud may quit fighting.

setting forth the agricultural re-
sources Of the State, has succeeded
in getting a small appropriation
from Congress for irrigation pur-
poses in Nevada, and will get more
if returned to Congress. He is an
active worker, and has a standing
among his colleagues that very few
members obtain during their first
term in the House.
The people of this State will make
a big mistake if they fail to return
him to Congress this Fall.

Mr.. GRosvENoR, Representative
from Ohio, who took a leading part
in the Maine election, says the tariff
was the only question discussed on
the stump. This accounts for the
Republican victory. If the Popu-
lists would get down to the main is
sue of what is the matter with the
countryside silver question and
the need of more money-they
would have made a better fight.
The yanks need few object lessons
in the shape of straight-out free
trade laws to bring them to the
understanding that there is some
body on earth besides themselves.

The above is proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of the State

Concurrent Resolution No. "A. 1t
will be noticed that its proposition
is the abolishing of the Supreme
Court of the State, the object being
the saving 'of $4,000 per year to
the tax payers of the State. In our
opinion the people should vote Eyes"
for this amendment 1t will be the
biggest saving that can possibly be
made in State expenses. The State
has too many LAYERS and judges TO
conduct business in legitimate way
now, and any law to diminish their
number and save money is good
one. Remember that if this amend
ment is carried it will save the State
$4,000 year now being paid to
three judges to confirm the decisions
of the lower court, for this is all
they have done for years past.

AS predicted in our last issue,
Hon. j. X. Gignoux, OF this county,
knew nothing of his nomination for
Congressman on the Harris Demo
cratic ticket until some days after
the convention had adjourned. 1t
is fact that Secretary of State
Gray will not recognize the ticket;
therefore it viii not be on the ballot.
The Dennis Democratic ticket is the
one that will be recognized.

SCOTCH CHARACTER.
Some Delightful Oddities Pointed Out by
an Excellent Authority.

Some Delightful Oddities Pointed Out by
an Excellent Authority.
Some delightful oddities of Scotch
character are given in Mr.. Wilmot Har-
rison's new book
Prof Adam Ferguson, the author of
Roman History" at whose house
Burns and Scott met for the first and
only time. eschewed wine and animal
food, but huge masses of milk and
vegetables disappeared before him. In
addition, his temperature was regulat-
ed by Fahrenheit, and often. when sit
ting quite comfortably, he would start
up and put his wife and daughters in
commotion because his eye had fallen
on the instrument, and he was degree
too hot or too cold" Yet, at the age of
seventy-two, he started for Italy with
but single companion to prepare for
new edition of his Roman History"
nor did he die until he had attained the
age of ninety-two.
Another character is DR.. Alex.
ADAM rector of the high school, and
author of work on Roman antiqui-
ties, and man of extraordinary indus
try. When at college he lived on oat-
meal and small beans, with an occasion
al penny loaf, in lodging which cost
him four pence week. In later life he
devoted himself absolutely to the work
of teaching. In addition to his classes
in the high school he appears to have
had for his private pupils some of the
most eminent Scotchmen of his day.
Rev. Sir Henry Wildwood Moncreiff,
a member of Scottish family distin-
guished during several generations in
connection both with church and state,
appears to have given wonderful Sun
day suppers. This most admirable
and somewhat old-fashioned gentleman
was one of those who always dined be-
tween sermons, probably without touch
ing wine. He then walked back from
his small house in the east end of
Queen street to the church, with his
bands, his little cooked hat, his tall
cane and his cardinal air, preached, if
it was his turn, a sensible, practical
sermon; walked home in the same
style, took tea about five, spent some
hours in his study: at nine had family
prayers, at which he was delighted to
see the friends of his sons, after which
the whole party sat down to roasted
hares. goblets of wine and his powerful
talk. Scottish American.

A LESSON TO TiMID LOVERS.
II You Would Win Woman Propose
While Dancing with Her.

II You Would Win Woman Propose
While Dancing with Her.
A certain ballroom belle tells how
she received an offer of marriage
during the dance:
My last proposal, she says, was from
a man at a ball. On his dress coat, as
he claimed me for a waltz, was long
white thread. l smilingly called his
attention to it and took it off. My sister
saw me, and, knowing things were in
that interesting condition when a
word would precipitate matters,
thought to tease me by saying:
who is it that says if a woman will
take the trouble to pick thread
from a mans coat that man may have
her for asking?" She laughed glee-
fully at our discontinue and hoated
away.
The first time we stopped to prom
enade my partner glanced down at me,
and there, caught in the flowers of my
gown was this same long thread. He
bent down to take 1t off just as we
came to clearing among the dancers.
What are you doing?" said.
F. "Pm picking thread off your
coat" he repeated, stepping in front
of me. "Will you?" l thought he
meant would go OH with the waltz. l
laid my hand in his and we glided into
our places.
did you understands" he whis-
pered.
Now, it was bad enough to have to
refuse man on the sofa, but to have
to do it when you are in his very
arms; when, while he tells you over
and over that he loves you, he can en-
phasize with hand pressure without
reproof; when every second you are
being drawn closer and closer, until
the wretched truth dawns upon you
that the music and the dance are Sec
ondary things, and that in reality you
are being Rugged, actually Rugged by
a man you are not going to marry
you must resist the impulse to put
both hands against him and push with
all your might. You simply get tired
suddenly and are taken to your chap
eron, where at least you can refuse
him properly.-Shefield Telegraph.

Not a pound of strength that could
command but what was thrown into
the pedals of the machine. Memories
of happy days long past were revived,
and could feel the old blood coursing
through my veins, the first time for
many years. For the time / seemed to
forget that my pursuers were Indians
seeking my scalp; it seemed more like
hot squirt with the boys at home,
with myself as pacemaker. Not till
heard the clash of sabers and the
bless them-did l seem to fully realize
what the stakes in that race had been.
You know the rest better than do.
Now, boys, let us drink to the
health of that other cyclist whose
trail l struck. 1 trust that he may
have escaped as easily as l did, and
may d kind Providence overlook any
little Irregularities in the life Of the
one whose body lies molding under
the rays of an Arizona sun this morn

Boys, I'm going to leave you. I'm
going to draw the few hundred dollars
the company is owing me and go back
to civilization and see my mother and
the governor. And once there I'm 60

can buy. Nothing else can replace

All this happened two years ago.
