THE overshadowing curse of AM
erica to-day is monopoly. He puts
his hand on every bushel of wheat,
every sack of flour, and every ton of
coal, and not a man, woman or child
in America but feels the touch of
this money despotism. His scepter
is made out of iron track of railroad
ing and wire of biography He
proposes to have everything his own
way, for his own advantages and
the peoples robbery. He.stands in
the railroad depot and puts into his
pockets each year $200,000,0O0 be-
yond reasonable charge for his
services He controls nominations
and elections. He has the Demo-
cratic party in one pocket and the
Republican in the other.-T. De
Witt Talmage.
We are really glad that De Witt
has come to the above conclusion.
He must now favor some other party
than the two old ones, for if he con-
tinues to vote for the candidates of
the old parties and advocates their
election, he will simply declare him
self a fool.

THE Trans-Mississippi Congress
which was in session at Omaha this
week declared strongly for free coin
age Of silver at the ratio of Is to l,
irrespective Of what any other
country thought about it. The
gold bugs had their hired traitors
there, but they failed to smother
the free coinage sentiment, although
they tried their level best to do 50.

IT is strange that England or
this country has not brought the
bloody Turk to a halt in his march
of carnage and rapine before this.
Christian missionaries are constant
ly in danger of their lives, and
Armenians are being butchered
daily. The Turk ought to be blown
off the face of the earth at the
muzzle of cannon.

nENEY JURY DIsAGREEs.

The jury in the case of James
Heney, the man charged with steal
ing graduated gold from the Car
son Mint while employed therein,
disagreed last Wednesday. The
Jury stood 7 TO 5 for acquittal. The
five jurors who voted for conviction
were Englebricht, of Storey, Cum
ningham, of Washoe, Straus, of
Lyon, Warren, of Lyon, and James,
of Douglas. The public should keep
these men in mind as honest, con-
scientious citizens. There was GER
tainly testimony enough to convict
Heney, and if he was an honest man
he would have gone upon the stand
and explained where he obtained the
gold which he sold to Beck, of the
Reno Reduction Works. tits intim-
ated, and that quite openly, that
there was bribery of the Heney jury,
and many believe that the backing
behind Heney will hesitate at moth
ing TO prevent him from being con-
victed That more people than
Heney were implicated in the loot
ing of the Mint is quite evident, and
if a conviction is made in Heney's
case, others, who it may surprise
some to learn, will be implicated in
the thievery. A great deal of testi-
mony was taken in the Heney case,
and a great deal of it was rubbish.
The attempt of the defense to show
that the shortage of gold in the
Mint was due to the metal going off
in the sewer in liquid form was re-
diculous. There has been, of course,
more or less gold lost in this man
ner, but it is not lost by the govern
ment. The depositors are the ones
who lose this. When a gold or sill
yer bar is taken to the Mint by an
owner, it is assayed and weighed,
and all the charges for parting, ETC.,
and the loss for baseness, etc, are
aola,,lntol' c,J 4,l,o., c,x4 Lof0~o AZ -
owner is paid for his bar. Therefore
it makes no difference how much
gold is found in the sewer, it does
not account in any manner for the
loss that has been sustained by the
government.
1t is believed that the point on
which some of the jurors who voted
for acquittal hung, was the failure
of the prosecution to show that the
gold Heney took to Reno came from
Carson, or rather the failure to show
where it did come from, if not from
the Mint. The case, in our opinion,
has all along been plain enough to
warrant conviction, but the fact
that Mr.. Heney himself refuses to
tell where he got the gold he sold in
Reno, and is afraid to go on the
stand because the prosecution would
get whack at him in cross examin-
alton, makes it doubly certain that
he ought to be convicted.

THE ISSUE OF 1895.

The West and the South are the
great producing sections of the
United States; upon them the great
ness and prosperity of the nation
depends. The Northeast is the
trading, money-loaning and COM
mercial section. 1t would be moth
ing without the West and South.
The Northeast associates with Eu-
rope, and ignores the balance of the
country in its social, political and
financial policy. 1t treats the South
and West as a great, fat goose, to be
plucked for the alien enemies of the
country with headquarters in Wall
Street. The financial resources
which Wall Street has gathered
from the labors of the country have
the qualities and have the charms
of snake when brought to bear
upon the leading politicians of the
South. Wall Street possesses not
only the charms and wiles of the
serpent, but it also plays the spider
game, and entangles every politi-
clan which it charms in its web,
and devours him at it's leisure.
1.-THE political leaders of the South
would take their eyes off Wall Street
and look to the West, the charm
would be broken, and the birds of
the sunny paradise of America
would be free to flock together with
birds of the same plumage in the
golden West. The great producing
Sc ctions of this country have every
interest which the genius of man
can suggest, at stake in returning
to the independent financial policy
of Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln,
and every motive which self-pres-
ervation can inspire to stand togeth-
er against that section of the coun-
try, which is dominated by alien
interests. We do not, under any
circumstances, reflect upon the good
intentions or loyalty of the great
mass of people in the Northeast,
but good intentions are a poor pave
ment. Without some more SUBJ
stantial ingredients than the false
doctorines inculcated by subsidi-
zed commercial press. The Union
of the West and South in favor of
an independent policy for America
will benefit the producers of wealth
alike in every section of the country.
The only people who will lose by
such union will be the monied
aristocracy of the Northeast, which
will simply lose its opportunity to
enslave the entire country In other
words, the issue on the one side, is
the right to life, liberty and pursuit
of happiness under an American
policy for all, and on the other side,
the wicked claim to rob and enslave
the producer. When the issue is
fairly made, dare any American
citizen doubt the result, and what
ever politicians may do, all things
are tending to division of the peo-
pie of the United States, on the line
which patriotism, justice, financial
and commercial independence from
English Toryism, the greed of
avarice, the corruption of corporate
powers and the subversion of the
institutions of the country.-Siluer

A Division to be Made.

Henry Miller has signed an agree
ment for the distribution of the vast
properties of the firm of Miller Il
Lux. The agreement provides for
the selection of one commissioner
by Miller and one by Lux, the other
interests to select a third. These
commissioners will make an equit-
able distribution of the property,
which is valued at $15,0O0,000.
Possibly after this division is made
something may be done in the way
of colonizing the large tract of land
in Mason Valley owned by Miller.
