PAYING OUT SILVER TO EN-
PLOYES.

Secretary Morton Of the Agricultural
Department, though appointed from a
State that elected a Populist Governor,
is one of the most pronounced gold bugs
| in the Cabinet. Unable to convince the
employees in his department by argu-
ment that borrowing gold is for the best
interests of the country. he gives them
what be is pleased to call an object les
son. He ordered the paymaster Of the
department to pay the men in silver coin.
He hopes by this meal to convince the
silver men that they are wrong.
What a contemplate little despot the
Secretary of Agriculture is proving to
be. He could as conveniently pay the
men in his department silver notes as
silver coin, and save them the annoyance
Of having to take several pounds Of sill.
yer each TO the stores to pay their debts,
as the men are clerks and laborers whose
salaries do not more than pay their ex-
penses. Surprising his object lesson
should be taught at the White House,
and President Cleveland should be paid
his monthly salary Of 81, l66 in gold coin
and compelled to take it to the bank,
would it not inconvenience him as much
as it did the clerks and laborers in the
Agricultural Department to get their
salaries of $50 or $50 in silveri 1t does
not follow that because q person advo-
Gates the free coinage Of gold and silver
at the mints that he believes in carrying
9 heavy sack Of either coin around with
him to pay his bills when q check On a
bank or notes redeemable in either coin
will answer the purpose. The pronounced
gold bugs in the country do not 60 around
laden with gold coin, and neither do sill
yer men take . sack Of standard dollars
with them, as there are other and more
convenient methods Of transacting bust
ness.-Journal.

The thing thst hss ~.

The thing that hs' lone more than m
other 10 rcsder the name Of Nevada NAL.
odorous 10 the rest Of the States Of the
Onion has been the corrupt use OF money
TO control her elections. The root Of oil
evil has probably not been expended here
in near the quantities that it has in other
States, but owing to the sparseness OF
our population il perhaps had more effect,
and as Q result ID has been notorious that
10 0 contest between 9 rich man willing
TO spend his money and q poor man with
out IL, the election has been . foregone
conclusion. This should now, however.
no longer be the case. Perhaps the most
important Law enacted by the last Legis-
iature Is the Purity of Election Act"
Its provisions render running for office q
much more complicated affair than il has
heretofore been, and il is time that
would-be office holders should be look
ing into its requirements; especially is
| this the case in view Of the fact that Q
failure to comply with them will not
only subject the candidate to criminal
prosecution, but, what will possibly seem
more important TO him, the loss Of office
| even il elected.
The certificate of nomination required
by the Australian ballot law must now
be accompanied by the names Of q COM
| mittee Of five electors, with their accep-
tances, who shall have the exclusive
charge of all moneys used in the cam
paign by the party or candidate named
in the certificate. Only q certain amount
Of money, regulated by the salary at
tsched TO the Office, can be expended by
the candidate, or by any n in his be-
half. Treating, leaving money at sa-
looms, hiring workers for election day,
and all the various ways in which money
has been corruptly used, is strictly pro-
hibited. After the election, an itemized
statement, showing the amount OF money
expended, to whom paid and for what
purpose, must be filed. This must be
sworn to by each Of the committee and
the candidates, and to be open to public
examination. Any expenditure above
the sum allowed, any unlawful expendi-
ture, any failure to make and swear tt
the statement, and many other things, is Q
crime, and will cause forfeiture Of Office.
The Act is q substantial copy Of laws
adopted and tried in other States, and il
as carefully drawn and as strong as i
seems possible for the wit of man t.
make it. It ought to be pretty hard t,
get around. In England it has CON
pletely broken up the wrongful use o
money. and its enactment here has placed
the power in the hands Of the deoen
people of this State, who desire homes
and pure elections, Of doing the SAM
thing.--Reno Gazette.

that the other half goes to the other

perhaps his confidence in the ultimate
success Of our arms, which was still as
boastful as ever, was perhaps . trife
overweening. The Colonel looked OF
him for q moment with an expression in
which contempt, anger, horror and
amusement struggled for the mastery.
Then with hands uplifted. hair standing

out at the discounted Lieutenant in the

When Congress shall convene IN De-
cember the Senate will be constituted OF
forty-two Republicans, th%irty-nine Dem
ocrats and six Populists. This, OF course,
does not include the occupant Of the seat
made vacant by the expiration OF the
term Of Anthony Higgins Of Delaware,
MIR. Dupont's claim to that seat being in
dispute and requiring the decision Of the
Senate. Nor does il take into account
the two Senators from Utah, who will
probably be admitted some time during
che early part Of the session, but after
the organization Of that body, for the
business Of the Congressional term.
In the event that Mr.. Dupont shall Sc.
cure the disputed Delaware seat, the
Republicans will have forty-three Sena-
tors, making one less than half Of the
entire body.
The Fall elections will substantially
decide the political complexion OF the
United States Senate Of 1897. On March
4 Of that year the terms Of twenty-nins
Senators will expire. OF these fourteen
will be Democrats, twelve Republican,
and three Populists. The outgoing Re
publican Senators will be Allison d
Iowa, Cameron OF Pennsylvania, Duboil
of Idaho, Gsllinger Of New Hampshire
Hansborough Of North Dakota, Mitchell
Of Oregon, Morrill, Of Vermont. PerkinI
Of California, Platt Of Connecticut

Carlisle gives assurance that "the PEG.
pie need have no fear as to the gold re-
serve; the Treasury Department will
take care of it; everything in that re-
gard is all right" The public needed
only this assurance from Secretary Car.
isle to become satisfied that the Treas.
ury is in danger. and that the gold re-
serve is in such peril that another bond
issue is practically assured; as the Score.
tary's estimates and assurances have to
be reversed always to get at the facts;
that is, where he estimates q surplus, q
deficit has regularly occurred; and when
be afirms that there will be no bond is
sue, that bond issue is certain; in fact, at
the very time President Cleveland was
negotiating for the first bond issue, and
had practically closed the deal,
Secretary Carlisle was assuring the peo-
pie that nothing Of the sort was contem-
plated. In the light of presidents,
Secretary Carlisle's confident assurances
are the most alarming feature Of the
situation.

Thornton X. Prime, the crop expert
Of Dwight, ILL.,, has telegraphed to one
of the New York daily newspapers that
the prospects Of the growing corn crop
exceed that Of any previous year and
that, under the present conditions, q har-
vest of over 1000, 900. 900 bushels Of
corn may be expected in the United
States for 1895. This is presented as an
augury Of a great increase in our export
trade, provided however. that the Euro
pean crops fail. Meb-be-so; but one
thing is absolutely certain, that gold
bugs are digging mp everything possible
to cover the reckless handling Of the u.
s. Treasury funds by our Anglo-Ameri-
can Administration and their excuses for
issuing more bonds and piling up more
taxes on our too much over-burdened

WHICH IS IT?

A phamplet has been recently issued
from Boston entitled, care We Losing
the West?" 1t may be inferred from
the title that W." means the East as
generally expressed, which seems to be
very much alsmed because the growing
power and ability Of the West is pro-
tecting its interests and industrial re-
sources. The West might with as much
property ask: "Are We Losing the
East?" Yes, it has deserted, allied
itself to England concerning financial
and some national matters. This makes
the contest of the gold power of the
East double handed against the West.
Ia this contest Cleveland is the leading
master Of ceremonies to ignore the West
and destroy n of its leading produc-
tions. In the East the forces comprise
elements from both the Republican and
Democratic parties, while in the South
and West. all parties will be more gener.
ally united to maintain silver. No po-
litical party Of the West can afford tc
join the money and bond specializing
forces Of Wall street and London. 1t il
a question which imperils our prosperity
and seeks to subject us to the arrogant
and tyranizing foreign money power tina
to-day dictates and controls the f~inancia
policy of this country. How long are
we thus to be slaves? Now is the tint
to assert our power and rights as 3 grea'

There is talk of forming a Union

each other to rightly use the education
that should be acquired before gradu-
alton, are objects worthy the consider
alton of the graduates of our schools,
and should be encouraged.
