DEATH OF DAN LYONS.

1t ls with a feeling Of more than or
binary sadness that we heard of the
death Of Dan Lyons in Honolulu. Mr..
Lyons was connected with the Vir-
8lnla Chronicle in the Bonanza DAYS
and there we learned to admire him
as a man, and love him as a friend.
In all the walks Of life, Dan neye
knew what it was t do a mean. up-
derhsnd ed thing. He was always
h soul OF honor, and his heart was
30 big and generous that it kept him
poor.
When a member of the Legislature
from Storey county he was given a
public banquet along with Bill Gibson
and two others, whose names we have
forgotten, for his fidelity to the PEG.
pies interests In times when bribery
and corruption were rampant in both
houses. After removing to Honolulu,
be lost his wife and three children in
side Of 80 days, and the blow broke
his heart and drove him to the Insane
Asylum. He recovered his reason,
but life had little inducements for
him after that, and from the tone of
his letters received since, during the
last W o years, we feel confident that
death was lot an unwelcome visitor.
Were all men as true and loyal to
their friends as Dan Lyons. the world
would be better worth living in.

The Reno Gazette wants to know if
anybody doubts that the Republican

if that party was in power. Yes,

Republican party had many years to

OF TIE people, but it failed to g. it. 1t

something and it did, but ir was rot

The sincere free coinage advocates
have just as much right to doubt that

as the Gazette man has to doubt that
one OF his subscribers. who is in ar
Iears for two OF three years on sub

he promises to do SO every month or
two. And we take it the delinouent
subscriber would, after making many

night by the arrival OF two families aggre-
eating twelve persons, those OF John Bos

well as the undersigned and yourself. we
trust you viii make a correction or the
false statement made therein, that the
fifty-six HOilanders from the East whose
families were temporarily stopping on the
island. had all located and bought land at
SnohomiEh. This Is incorrect. We were
there and examined the lands and condi-
tons OF things. but after deliberate con-
siceration we decided that IL would be to
our own interest, as well as the many
who viii follow US, 10 locate on WILDLY
island. and consequently we have bought
here. and are settling down. The inference
made in the article referred TO that par
~ OF HoIlanders had located in Snohomish
last year is also false. for We saw but one
HoIlander there, and he made the ISL
and visit after We were in Snohomish,
and has since settled up his affairs with
the Snohomish people and is preparing to
come to the island 10 locate. Truly yours,
