Boatner's speech Bland put several ques-
tions TO show that the administration had

clared that it's financial platform was a
fraud, IL there was no intention to carry
il out, asserting that platforms should
mean something.
Boatner asked il Bland had not been

last campaign, whereupon Bland re-
sponded that he had supported the plat
form and had voted for its candidate, and
the party had gone down 10 ignominious

EX-SENATOR FAIRS WILL.

Since the death Of ex-senator James
G.. Fair the value Of his vast estate and
the features Of his will are subjects OF
general discussion. The lowest estimate
placed upon the value Of the estate is
$50, 900. 900 and the highest $50, 00O, 600.
A leading San Francisco attorney gives
the following Interpretation Of the pro-
visions Of the will:
"When Charles L. Fair and his two
sisters shall have died the property is to
be divided into two-fourths and one
half, and one-fourth will go to the heirso OF
one sister, one.fourth to the heirs Of the
other sister, and the remaining one-half
will be divided among the heirs OF the
late ex-senator Fairs brothers and sis
ters."
II is not probable that an attempt will
be made by the legatees to contest the
will, as Charles L. Fair, the only one
who would be likely to do so, has stated
that he has no intention of contesting il.
His share of the income Of the estate it
is estimated will exceed 81, 900 q day or
$780, 900 q year. Should he live to the
age Of his deceased father and expend .
quarter OF q million annually he would
then have 9 fortune Of $50. 600. 900 in his
own right.-Virginia Chronicle.

THE AIN LINE HAS VANISHED.

The Nevada Air Line has vanished into
thin air. II figured oo~nspicuously IN
politics two years ago and while il was
suspected Of being in the interest OF the
Central Pacific il was made to appear
that only the tools Of that corporation
we're opposed TO il. The Legislature oil
1891 passed an Act granting to the Utah
and Nevada Air Line Railway Company
the right 10 construct a road from the east
ern boundary to the western boundary Of
the State through the counties OF White
Pine, Eureka, Lander, Churchill and
wsshoe, aud provided that il should re-
ceiye from each Of said counties bonds to
the amount Of 5000 for each and every
mile Of road built through those counties.
Some members Of the Legislature pro-
posed to amend the Act BY extending the
rights and privileges which il granted
specifically to the Air Line Company to
any company that wonld build the road.
This common sense proposition was not
listened 10 and those who suggested il
we're denounced as enemies Of progress.
Now it is known that the only feasible
route for the Air Line or any other new
road 10 Northern Nevada across the
Sierra Nevada is owned by or mort
gagged TO the Southern Pacific Company.
This route is through the Beckwith Pass,
twenty miles north Of Reno. A narrow
gauge road runs through the pass into
Sierra Valley and Plumss county, Cali
fornia. With this psss in possession Of
the Southern Pacific that company can
snap its fingers at any company that
threatens TO build an opposition line
from the east though Northern or Cen
trail Nevada to the Pacific. The Air
Line, therefore. If it ever had a tangible
existence, has vanished into air and can
only be built on the earth by the South
ern Pacific or with it's consent.-R

THE SUIT

The Supreme Court recently rendered
a decision adverse to Humboldt in the
disputed boundary line survey between
that county and Lander. The suit was
brought by Humboldt to secure posses
sion Of a strip Of territory about two and
q third miles, which was assessed in
Humboldt up to 1857. In that year the
Legislature passed . law directing the
Surveyor General to make a survey oil
railroads crossing the State and fix mon
uments at the point of intersection OF the
roads with the different county lines.
In accordance with the survey the
boundary between Humboldt and Lam
der was moved about two and o third
miles west from what had previously
been accepted as the boundary between
Humboldt and Lander, and a monument
placed fixing the new boundary as the
true one. This took a large amount Of
taxable property away from Humboldt
and the Commissioners OF that county
brought suit in the District Court to re-
cover the territory. Judge Cheney decided
the case in favor Of Humboldt, to which
Lander county demurred and the demur.
rer was overruled.

THE COMMITTEES Address.

The address OF the National Commit
tee Of the Peoples party to the people OF
the United States is . document which
will stand the test Of adverse criticism,
says the Denver News. The enemies OF
the people and the Peoples party may
attack it in general terms but they will not
attempt to combat it's declarations or to
undertake to point out wherein it is not
deserving Of the approval of every voter
who hopes for the endurance during all
time of this country and it's institutions.
The committee has properly made free
coinage the battle cry above all else,
while it also lays stress upon the neces-
sity Of facing the advancing power Of
trusts and corporate greed as well as the
Unsuitable ~avarice Of the great money
owners. While there were some who
have favored the concentration Of
all effort upon the monetary question
alone il must be borne in mind that the
committee has not the power to construct
platforms, and 1t must also be remem-
bsrsd that free coinage and resistance to
monopolies are 40 closely interviewer as
to be almost branches Of the same sub.
jeot.
There is no mistake about the attitude
taken by the Peoples party on the plan
to turn the circulation Of the country
over to the bankers, Q plan which is
merely another portion Of the plot be-
gun by the demonstration Of silver.
The Peoples party is the only party
which stands for silver and the event
will prove that il is the only party which
will dare TO face the interests which are
behind the conspiracy to place the cur
rency under the control Of the bankers.
The declaration In favor Of union
OF the people TO rescue the Govern
ment from the control Of ~monopolies
and concentrated wealth contains not .
single line to which every Americon oiti.
zen cannot subscribe. The address is o
winning platform for 1896.
The need now is organization. There
should not be q moment lost. The trend
OF affairs at Washington demonstrates
that there will be no change in the course
Of legislation until q new and rurer party
has the power to overthrow the infu-
encss which dominate both the Republic
can and Democratic parties. Partisan.
ship no longer blinds the masses Of the
people as it did q few years ago. They
have the power to learn, to see the truth
and to adopt it and that is ell the Pso-
pies party wishes, for il is founded on
truth and its hope lie education.

When the war now going on between
China and Japan is ended. theiudemnity
which will be demanded by the success
ful nation from the vsnquished one will
no doubt be enormous, both in money
and the oession OF territory. II
is well known to any one who is at all
familiar with the financial condition Of
the world to-day that all the leading
Governments. with the bare exception OF
France, have established the single gold
standard. The result is that ell these
nations are at the present time grabbing
for gold. Then, should Japan be sue
cessful and demand gold for her pay
from China, the old saying shat money
is the root Of all evil" will be tragically
verified. The idea may appear chimeri-
cal. but to say that the scheme is not
practically possible is untrue.
