SUPPORT THE SILVER TICKET.

!.
No voter in Nevada need have any
trouble on election day in finding a
candidate for every State office that
suits his peculiar political ideas. If
he belong to the Republican, Silver
or Populist parties, he has full
Stat, ticket pla;e1 before him on
platform that is the only sure pan
aced for the political ills from which
the country is suffering. If on the
other hand, he does not see what he
wants in the 80 ticIets, he can choose
from the two Democratic State TICK
cts put IN the field by the "ins" and
the "outs." The Prohibitionist can
pick cut d ticket that will no doubt
fill the bill SO far as the liquor habit
is concerned. With this variety to
choose from, he must be difficult to
please who cannot find one candidate
for each state office to be filled that
measures up to his standard OF what
a State officer should be.
In this multiplicity of candidates
and plato ms, the: e is d!nye; that
the average voter will become so mix
ed chat he will not know where he is
at wnen election day rolls round.
All, however, should keep their atten-
tion firmly fixed on the main question
and vote only for those candidates
whose previous record in Office and
the platform upon which they stand
give the greatest promise of carrying
out the wishes of the people on the
silver and other great questions that
in terest the people of Nevada.
The strength of the Populist party
is confined to Washoe and Lincoln
counties and atong the line of the
railroad while that of the two Dem
ocratic tickets consist principally of a
few here and there who endorse
the administration of President Cleye.
land.
AS neither of these three tickets
stands any show of success. it follows
that vote cast for either Of them is
merely thrown away. What then is
the duty of those Democrats who do
not endorse the administration and
who believe it their duty to maintain
an independent position in this con
teIt? Surely, they will not cast their
votes for either the Populist or Adj
ministration tickets and by so doing
give aid and comfort to their old en-
envy, the Republican party.
The only course then left for Demo
Gratis who do not believe the success of
the Republican State ticket would be
for the best interests of the State, and
who do not endorse the administra-
ton of President Cleveland, is to sup
port the Silver party ticket. Holding
the Sc views, the INDEPENDENT will
fight un Ter the banner of the Silver
party during the present campaign.

BAD WEATHER PREDICTED.
March is to be the Worst Month of the
Year.

Year.
A writer in the Newborn Journal
gives the following as the sum of his
researches into the weather predic
lions for the month of March, 1894,
made il the almanac published by
Prof. Hicks, the famous weather
prophet:
Until Sundays snow storm East
eru North Carolina has had very
little winter-only about eight freez
ing or frosty days, while the record
during a series OF years observations
for the State Geologist, shows an
average Of twenty-seven; the lowest
twenty-five and the highest thirty
five; this would leave not less than
fourteen freezing days to be expected
between February and, say, April 5eh-
The equinox OF Mars, central F"D-
ruaTy 18th, will cause dlsJur bauces
the balance OF February and it's III
fuence will dominate the whole OF
March; III addition TO this, March
weather will be goverEed by six other
equInoxes that will cause the "oidest
inha bitan5" TO search well back in
his recollection OF severe winters Tor
as severe a March as March 1894 will
prove to be; the most recent one
having been March 1864, when the
trees in the Episcopal church yard
were broken down and almost entire
" destroyed by the load of sl-e6 that
formed upon them, twigs no larger
than ordinary strings being built up
10 the size OF a man S finger by the
Deposit of sleet upon them, causing
great limbs TO fall.
Freezing will follow the storm
period of the Sd to the 9Th, the freez
ing being at the time of new moon
on the 7Jh to the 18th.
The iuli moon on the Dist, earth's
equinox on the 22d, with the influ-
ence of the equinOxes of Vulcan,
Venus and Mercury, Intensified by
the equinox of Mars, will cause the
17thto 22d TO be particularly severe,
and heavy sleet may be seriously
feared at this time.
Gales and high wind will whip to
shreds such OF the pea vines as may
escape the TT eziDg they receive;
March, 1894, besides being the COLI
est, will be noted for the severity of
its tornadoes and high winds
throughout the entire month, of any
hafcn, With TIE iheniory Vi peot'ie
| now living.
Only three equinoxes occur in
April aud after the first week mild
weather may be look for.
Many of our truckers have planted
too early-in fact they might almost
as well have planted peas ia the fail,
for their spring crops.
The leaders plant by the date and
not by the condition OF the season
and many plant because Everybody
else is planting"
Ia studying Hicks almanac many
things have to be given weight, par
ticularly altitude and latitude, as
| the same temper atures cannot exist

county and the Blue Ridge counties.

SENATOR RANSOM.
He is Criticized for His Present PoIIti:
cal Course.
From the NTecklenburs Times.

From the Mecklenburg Times.
Senator Ransom voted for Peek
ham, and Senator Vance was paired
against him Senator Ransom, We
think is acting somewhat in the
capacity OF a cuckoo Senator. He
seems to follow wherever Cleveland
leads without regard to his OWE
record or stopping to consider thu
wishes and IL ertsts OF his constitG
ents. The people OF Norti, Carolina
would like 20 see Senator Ransom
stick a little closer To his party plat
form aud the interests OF his constit
uents. At present Il great many do
not feel that he represents them fair
ly, and they viii hardly full to regis
ter their protest at the coming elec
ton. The Times was one OF those
who believed that the unconditional
repeal of the purchasing clause ofthe
Sherman law was not in accord with
the Democratic platform nor ia the
interest OF the people. Senator Ran
som voted forit against the interests
of the people of our State, and in the
face of the fact that only two years
before he voted for free coinage at
the present ratio. Have his views
changed? Who has heard him say?
The democrats will want these ques-
lions answered before they cast an
other vote for Ransom.

LOVED SNAKES.
A Queer Character Who Died Recent
ly in Frisco.

From tbs San Francisco Examiner.
DIR. Gustave Lei pnitZ, one of the
most famous and picturesque of the
Oldtime characters in San Francisco,
died recently.
He was widely known by the sug-
gestive title of The Snake Doctor"
He earned his sobriquet by his over
fundness for reptiles OF all kinds, and
especially for venomous snakes.
Rattlesnakes were his particular pets.
in his time he has owned many of
these deadly reptiles and, though he
handled and carressed them more
lovingly than the average person
would care to handle u harmless
gopher snake, he never took the pre-
caution to withdraw their poisonous
fangs, nor vas he ever seriously
harmed up one Of his pets.
Leipnitz did not claim to be a
snake charmer, though he was far
more dariDg with his serpents than
most of the professional charmers
are, but had theory as how to
handle dangerous reptiles and how
you should not handle them.
cit is very EASY to handle o dan
StiOuo scr u LII, use W SOY
1.-The ecret lies in not making any
rapid movements while handling
them. All you have to do is to move
gently and with care, so as not to
startle them. By nature the snake
is not aggressive, aud will only strike
when it thinks there is danger
threatening"
And then, to futher illustrate his
theory, 'The Snake Doctor" would
go to his tank in the show window
pass his hand gently under big
vicious-looking RATHER, lift it tender
ly and carefully out OF its warm
blanket and let the treacherous rep
tile coil itself about his arm.
And he would not let you speak OF
his serpents as treacherous. They
are not near SO PREACHER GUS as
have known men to be-" he used to
say. You only have to treat them
right; that's ALL
