Putocrats; stripes for the poor.
Anna Gould became countess, March 4th.
Report says her French count is good fellow.
W. hope so; but, in the light of past expert
ence, it will not do to be very sangune. Anna
will doubtless be tcked to hear that we wish
her long life, and happy one, hoping that
her husband may prove "a right smart" man
better than we expected him to.
Grover the festive has gone on another hunt
drunk some over-nice people call it. We
don't believe in coming out too fat-footed.
There's lots of sarpints around Growers hunt
ing-ground, and he has to take drop as
safeguard. Of couase, it would be safe for him
to keep so full that, if he was bitten, he
wouldn't know it till he saw the snake dying
from the effects. Whatever you do, Grover,
keep 'em out of your boots.
The "redeelners" tried 1egislating the Amer
lean flag on top of all Kansas school houses, at
a cost of about $3.50, 900 to the people, for the
wise purpose of instilling patriotism into the
rising generation. Better try some legislation
that will give work to the unemployed, justice
to the section hand as well as the magnate,
lower freight and passenger rates so the pro
Queer will have a little left after marketing his
productions. Buncomb and bunting never
made patriot. Given just laws and equal
protection to every citizen, and patriots will be

THE Utah constitutional convention is now
in session, with majority of about ten Repub'
lcans. But as the Mornons have about three
fourths of the delegates of each party, and are
in favor of woman suffrage, it can easily be
predicted that equal suffrage will be part Of
the organic act of the new state, Prohibition
will also be incorporated in that instrument, as
the priesthood always fought this open sign of

The worst charge that can be made against
Christian is that he attempts to justify the ex-
listing social order. That the old order of things
cannot remain is evident to all but blind eyes.
No man with moral sense, nothing but hopeless
selfshness and stupidity, can fail to see that
worldwide changes are at hand, with social
reconstruction and new civilization.-From

At the recent meeting of bankers in Chicago
an interesting piece of information was turned
loose in order to mislead the thoughtless.
"$3, SOC, 900, 900 deposits represents over $50
per capita for every man, woman and child in
America-what more do you want ~
The aim of the bankers is to misead.
They seek to create the idea that there is 49,
800, 900, 900 in money deposited.
What fraud !!
Now let us illustrate.
A takes 500 to the bank and $Ioois deposit
ed.
The bank takes this identical 500 bill and
loans it to B, who pays it to c, and deposits
it in the bank.
Now $500 is on deposit.
The bank loans the 500 bill to D, and D
pays it out to E, and E, deposits it in the bank,
Now we have 5000 in deposits.
The bank now loans the 500 bill to F, and
pays it to G., and G deposits it, and now we
have $500 on deposit.
This sort of thing can be kept up indefinite
ly.
The question the people are the most interest
ed in just at this time is, how is the bank to
pay its deposits promptly to depositors on de-
mand The bank panic of 1898 demonstrates
that banks cannot do it. With bank SURPRISES
deducted and burned, lost and destroyed currency
taken out of the list, it is exceedingly doubtful
if there is to exceed $3.50, 900, 900 in active cir
culation in the United States, and still bankers
are doing their best to knock out the green=
backs and forever destroy silver,-The Road

Sundays Wichita Eagle yields up the ghost
for the late legislature in the following vigorous
language: "The present Legislature is to
adjourn tomorrow Everybody is glad of it.
Fifty more days of such work and it would be
doubtful if anything was left worth the having.
Wherein the present body has proved more wise
than the revolutionary aggregation of Pops of
two years ago would be hard to define. They
have done nothing of that which was promised,

The Mail recently contained thrust at Bro.
Botkin for presiding over the meeting at To
peka where Mrs. Stryker scored the ministerial
union and fashionable churches. Here is
pretty good rejoinder from the Winfield Senti-
mel, edited by son of Presiding Elder Lowther
Gwen ministerial alliance in Kansas may
be severely criticised and excite loud applause,
but when ministers condemn sin in the lower
classes and wink at depravity in higher circles
let them be goaded from public platform.
There are too many ministers that grow elo-
ouent over Isaiah and thunder of Melchisedec,
but would not for the world say anything which
would lessen their salary or compromise the vote
of next week. "-Wellington Voice.

Queer Law.

The second trial of Heney is now in
its second week and about two dozen
men are working like beavers to fluid
out where Mr.. Heney got the gold he
took to the Reno Reduction Works.
It is a curious feature Of the law that
Mr.. Heney, the only man who could
throw any real light on the subject, is
not compelled to testify. The only
man who could unravel the mystery
simply sits in court and keeps his
mouth shut, when if he would 60 on
the stand and tell where he got the
gold the case would come t. an end.
If he could verify the statement that
he got the gold in Silver City he
would be acquitted in ten minutes.

AN AMERICAN ON DECK.

In the person Of Grover /. johnson
California evidently has a genuine
American on deck in the halls of Con
gress. On Tuesday he introduced a
bill to make it unlawful after August
/, 1895, for any foreign born laborer
10 enter the United States; also a bill
to provide that no alien be admitted to
citizenship who has not for a cOntin-
ued term Of five years preceding his
admission resided within the United
States and who cannot speak, read
and write the English language.
Both bills should be speedily passed.
But they will not be. Most members
Of Congress are afraid OF the foreign
vote, and will find some way TO dodge
the roll call when this bill ome up.
America is being rapidly overrun by
people who were not born on this soil
and who cannot speak our tongue.
They hold the balance Of power at
elections and are fast debating the
policy of our Government.

A LAWYER.

Hon. Thomas H. Tongue Of Hills
boro, Oregon, is about to he disbarred
for unprofessiOnal conduct. He is
charged with mutilating records in
the contested enthusiastically case
of Edward Constable Of improper in
tiuencing and disappearing facts
to the court and resOrting to suhier-
fuges to gain his points. The alleged
act in mutilating the records is pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment and
probably disbarment. 1t is said Judge
Whalley Of Portland, who will present
Tongues case, will also bring charges
showing that Tongue isguilty of other
inscriptions acts equally unbecOm-
ing, and an instance is stated where
the verdict o. the jury in the Ease was
made way with. 1t is said Tongues
case was passed nnnoticed at the last
meeting of the Oregon bar, and now
the Supreme Court will take it up.
1t would seem incumbent on the le-
gal profession in all States to weed
rascals N of its ranks. They do not
always do it, There is a bar a~seOcia-
ton in this State, but we never heard
Of its disbaring anybody. Yet there
are men practicing law in Nevada
who merely make an honorable pro
fession a dupe to hide rascalities that
would make an Apache Indian blush.
They 90 right along year after year,
mutilating records, robbing estates,
bribing iur.cs and witnesses, accept
ing fees from both sides Of a case,
manipulating testimony in important
cases and practicing various forms Of
skulduggery known only to mon Of
that ilk, and about every six mouths
it is whispered about that so and co is
going to be disbarred," but no law
yer eve has the nerve to bring the
matter up, and so the men guilty Of
these practices maintain a calm front
and keep on with their dirty work.
knowing perfectly we'll that they have
a ''pull' that will defy conviction. No
lawyer will ever be disbarre,i in New
ada.

The C~ardnerViIie Mill.

The new flour mill started by Heit-
man & Jensen at Gardnerville is a
great success. They turn out $50 sacks
a day Of A. No. 1 flour and have never
been able to get ahead a single ton.
the demand is so great for the flour.
1t is taken as fast as they can turn it
out.
The ranchers don't have to send
their money to Reno, and the money
paid for the flour is all circulated in
the valley. No California -four drifts
up that way now. Everybody in the
valley is standing pat with the new
