The silver Knight IS new weekly
raner publlshed here now In the interests
of the silver mine owners OF the West.
Senator Stewart. the venerable and lo-
quacious silverite from Nevada, is the
resident cditOr-in-chlei. ana the edltoiltia

people along with the President who is
not inclined 20 sacrifice the credit Of
the country for the benefit OF the con-
stituency of the Nevada Senator.
