One Woman's Experience.

Mrs. S. A. Williams, says The Wom-
ans Tribune, makes her boast that she
has voted in Wyoming, Washington,
Utah, Oregon and Colorado and has vot-
ed for every officer in state and nation.
Although now a resident OF Colorado,
she loves Wyoming, for it was there she
cast her vote for president. She was
last year a resident in Arizona, but took
up her residence in Wyoming, where she
had before lived and voted, and remained
there six months to have the privilege of
voting for president.
Mrs. Williams has had a unique and
interesting experience years ago in fruit
less prospecting in mining regions with
her husband, until they had spent the
last cent, eaten the last slice of bacon
and had come to the last charge of blast
ing powder. Encouraging her husband
for one more effort, she held the drill
while he struck the blow for the inser-
ton of the powder. Returning from their
hiding to see the effect of the explosion,
they found the good silver ore scattered
all about. She helped her husband to
gather and market the ore, and their for
June was made.
Mrs. Williams is o a widow, but at
tends to her OWL business affairs and her
mining interests. She owns among 9th.
er stock one-fourth interest in the cele-
brated Zuni mine. Her name appears
in corporation papers, but the identity Of
her sex is covered up like so many Others
by the use of initials only. Mrs. Viii
Hams has a bright son, a college graduate
and a promising orator.

A Correction.

I have been mistakenly quoted as
having charged M. F. Boland with
the assertion that the mines of Mel
hart could work with silver at one
half its present value. l hereby de-
clare that Mr.. Boland did not make
such a statement to me, but that in
u conversation upon the richness
of local mines he said, "lt is claimed
that the Broadwater mine could be
worked if silver falls to so cents an

killed by a hunter several miles north of

between it and an ordinary buzzard was
its color. The bird was seen by several

THE CONVENTION.

Speculation concerning the work OF
the Republican State Convention about
to assemble is not now profitable,
since it can be at best but guesswork,
upon basis not more substantial than
flying political rumor.
It is best to await the action of the rep
resentative assemblage. The presump-
ton must obtain in its behalf that it will,
in it's nominations, reflect the wishes OF
majority in the party and when that is
done there will be time enough to criti-
else its work and to apply to it the test OF
reason.
The supreme duty of political party is
to consider first and foremost the good OF
the State in filling the offices for which it
presents candidates. In that it will con-
serve its own strength and its deserving
OF public approval.
The Republican party, representative
of progressive ideas. independence, indi-
viduality and capacity, has won the dis
tinction of having the courage to meet all
issues in the open. and to rise equal to
any and all exigeneies. National and
State. Until it shall through this conven-
ton manifest incapacity so far as the
party in this State is concerned. it is en-
titled to have the benefit of every pre-
sumption in its behalf maintained.
So far as suggested nominees are con-
cerned, the names and ambitions of which
rumor and declaration have made public,
they are men, we believe, of character, ca
pacity and loyalty to American ideas and
the friends of free institutions. We know
of none thus far named who are open to
the suspicion of moral weakness, sub
serviency to vicious influences, or lack of
courage of conviction and clean purpose.

to suppose that the energy of the Cali
fornians of Sacramento has been due to
that cause. They resolved upon the
house-front improvement by awning re-
moval long prior to the Legislature Of
1898 and by ordinance so provided; they
projected the street improvements three
years before that time, and had by vote
provided for S4OO, 900 of public aid to
property owners for street work two
years before the Legislature of 1898.
Her famous 'improvement-at-cost or
ganization was formed two years before.
and had nearly completed its work prior
to March, 1893. The new levee bonds were
voted before that time, and the work was
half done upon that behalf; and so along
the whole line of Improvement in this
city-it was borne OF public spirit. not OF
fear. Doubtless the unworthy assault
gave additional momentum to, but it was
not the cause of Sacramento's advance
ment, for that has been steady year by
year, until her population IS double what
it was in 1870.
Burdened with debt as is no other city
on the Pacific Coast; because of that debt
paying heavier tax rate than any other
city on the Pacific slope, if not in the
United States, Sacramento has neverthe-
less increased her assessment roll in the
hard -times' year, has not been driven
to the wall of distress. and has in the
midst of general financial stringency ex-
pended In public and private works more
money in proportion to assessable values
than any town or city in the State-and
she is not half through with her propo-
sitions and works. With new sewer
system completed. new water supply
introduced, new garbage and sewage dis
posal plants built, her parks all beautifed.
new City Hall erected. and her cleo
trical wires placed in sub-ways, Sacra
mento will be prepared to say: "We ap-
proach the beginning of the end of mu-
nicipal improvement"

From Themis, June 17th.1
1t looks like the Democratic majority
in Congress is trying to divert public at
tention from the mismanagement of pub
lie affairs which has caused the late dis
tress and hard times by assuming a vir-
tuous indignation at railroad delinquen-
cies. The Democratic Representatives
from this State, in order to mask as re-
formers, have caused the instigation of
legal proceedings against the estate of
Leland Stanford, deceased, evidently
for the purpose of posing in the next
campaign as simon-pure anti-railroad
anti-monopoly champions, hoping to re-
vive the bitter animosities of the past.
Without Rdverting to the justice of the
obligation due from the Central Pacific
Railroad Company to this Government
in an abstract point of view, we venture
the assertion that when this great enter
prise was projected no person or mem Der
of Congress ever expected that the debt
would be paid. The Nation has reaped
mighty and untold advantages which
have an hundred times repaid any and
all the obligations, so that, even if the
debt is not paid. the country is and can
be no loser. But the debt will be liqui-
dated in due time either by payment or
the taking of the railroad by the Govern
ment.
Any sensible man who has given this
matter thought must concede that the
Government will fail in the suits now
brought. The Central Pacific Railroad
Company, as company, paid out all the
funds and can show its accounts. The
Contract and Finance Company was, in a
legal sense, no part of this railway COM
pany. The grants of land were absolute
gifts, and therefore beyond the question
of accounting. The money earned by the
company before the maturity of the debts
was subject to distribution among the
stockholders, and was so disposed of, of
course cannot be made the subject of any
Judgment. The Government can fore
close its mortgage and take the road by
paving the first-mortgage bonds, but this
would not be a paying investment by the
Government. There is an absolute lack
of honest sincerity in the institution of
the suits against the Stanford estate. We
look upon it as a miserable refuge to
manufacture cheap sentiment in favor OF
the instigators for political party pur-
poses and for nothing else. All such
schemes will fail when the people see
through the himsy gauze that coneeals
the motives. This is not the time to Grip
pie any great enterprise, even with just

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I63xII4 inches.
There are $50 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford sI6 and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so com
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 20 big parts, 81
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before-and has hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all

reason to look down upon the barba-
rians of the west Politencss has been
likened generally to an air cushion.
There is nothing in it, but it eases the
jolts wonderfully, AS more ritual OF
technicalities it has perhaps reached its
highest point in China. The multitude
of honoric titles SO bewildering and
even maddening to the occidental are
here used simply to keep in view the
fixed relations of graduated superiority
When wishing to be exceptionally cour-
teous to ''the foreigners, the more ex-
perienced mandarins would lay their
doubled fists in the palms of our hands
instead Of raising them i'll front of their
