GOTHAM'S CAB RATES.
Non Union Drivers Oppose the Cut
ting Of Rates.

New York. Oct. 21.-The members of
the Public Hack Owners union are en-
gagged in the task of trying to reduce
cab fares in this city, from so cents to
% cents a mile In this effort they are
heartily supported by the City I'm
provement society. of which J. Collins
Pumpelly is secretary.
Thomas r. Duffy, president of the
union, is the prime mover in the enter
prise, and as a result has incurred the
enmity Of the non-uniOn cabmen at the
Grand Central depot and at the ferries.
This job that Duffy is trying to put
VI" said one man, won't so. It's all
right for him, for he owns his own out
fit But how about us2 We have to
hire our traps and pay S. a day in ad-
vance for them. Now we have to make
up that money before we begin to make
a cent. The rates are low enough now
Fifty cents a mile is dirt cheap. If
Duffy gets the fares put down to %
cents a mile we will have to travel two
miles to make the half dollar we now
get for going only one mile.
And as we have got to live, we will
simply kill our horses in rushing them
over the cObble stones and working
them at double time At 25 cents a
mile there's not a cabman in this city
who can make a. living"

There was a buzz following the read

indicated strong disapproval Of it. The
speeches were all against it. In fact,
the resolution refusing the Popuhstic
proposition was offered by none other
than Chairman JOnes's personal repre-

under a misapprehension as to what
the Populists wanted.
He said he had no idea when he came

that they would propose some fair di-

The office OF United States Senator
from Nevada will be sold to the high

This Is a very desirab g piece OF prop
erty, as an assured income of SIS, 900
per annum, besides perqnisites in
Vulnerable. is directly within reach Of
anyone who is not in the habit Of see
ing good things go by. 1t makes no
difference whittier the applicant be
red, black, yellow oil white, just 50
long as he has the good old dollars to
put up, and will produce. he is the
man for the people of Nevada. No
questoniS will ever be- asked regarding
his pact life, and n" pledge will be
required. Reno Plaindealer.
The above from the Reno Plain
dealer is as %untruthful and unjust a
piece of editorial writing as ever APP
peared in this State. 1t is such reck-
less statements hat give Nevada a
bad name abroad.
1t is presumed to rean that the
State OF Nevada had II S~enatorship to
sell TO the highest bidder for cash.
Nothing can be further from the
truth.
The only Senatorial candidate who
asked for the support Of the Silver
party was Hon. John P. Jones. He
has been sqarely before the people
for the past two years, ever since he
rcpudiated the Republican party and
Joined the ranks OF those who we've
battling for principle above party.
Every county convention in the State
placed a plank in it's platform en-
dorsing Jones and every Legislative
candidate that went before the people
was pledged to Jones.
AS a resu rs per cent of the vote
of the State was masSed behind the
Legislative candidates pledged for
Jones and III Of As votes in the Legis-
latureo on joint ballot Jones will have 40.
These votes will not cost him a single
dollar and any member of the Legis-
lat~re who would approach Jones for
a dollar for his vote would be kicked
out of the capital building by his
asSoci 1tes.
During the campaign the APPEAL
does not believe that Senator Jones
spent $500 for his election. He de-
livered a few speeches in the State and
on every occasion paid the legitimate
expenses of the meeting and nothing
more. The result would have beer
the same had he not made q single
speech.
The people of Nevada appreciate
the fact that Senator Jones has been
fighting for bimetallism for twenty
years, hat he has grown grey in the
service of that cause, and now in the
sunaet Of his declining years be will be
returned to the Senate Of the United
States as a i st token Of appreciation
in which he is held by the people of
the State.
The APPEAL is willing to admit that
iianv of the charges made against
Zeal Of money in Santa Monica and is
addicted to playing poker late at night
at Wizards or the Hoffman. but when
it to a silver controversy he
towers above the situation like a giant
and his financial logic has never
found any answer in the world.

Vii! be an Extra Session.

New York, Nov. 24-The Mail and
Express to-day says there is going to
be an extra session of Congress called
twe nty days after the inauguration
Of President-elect Mckinley. This in
formation comes from Caution to-day
in a positive and direct way, and its
reliability cannot be questioned.
1t is the opinion of the President
elect that no evenu Legislation can
be accomplished this winter, and
though the newspaper dispatches dis
agree regarding his attitude toward
the present agitation for the Dingley
bill, there is substantial authority for
the statement that Mckinley ia averse
to raising expectation as to its enact
ment which, in bis judgement, can
not be realized. He fears the bust
ness community would become de-
moraiized should the bill pass the
House, and then again only to be
laid aside by the Senate. and does not
share Senator Sherman's opinion that
the measure can pass the Senate before
the reorganization of that body on
March 4th.

WASHINGTON PRIMARY LAW.

The last Washington legislature
enacted a primary law that went into
operation for the first time, Thursday,
March 12, TO elect delegates to the
city convention. The law requires
that at a caucus the day before the
primaries a list OF names shall be
selected. That caucus is secret and
controlled by the machine. Then the
law says:
Sec. 8. The managing committee
shall cause a list Of the names Of such
delegates so selected TO be printed on
one ballot Of convenient form for each
polling precinct, which ballot shall
be the only ballot voted at such prl-
mary election and shall be obtained
only by the voters from the primary
election officers Immediately before
election.
1t will be seen that the citizen has
little or no choice of names tovote for
as delegates and he can not make up
an independent slate. The only ticket
he can vote is one handed him by the
officer OF the machine primary, and |
whose name was put on the ticket by
the machine. The Tacoma News says
of the result:
There is general feeling Of elation
and confidence about the city hall. as
the result of the Republican primaries
is discussed that manifests itself in all
the offices, and clerks as well as heads
Of departments have their counten-
ances wreathed in the hlandest Of
bland smiles as they express their
opinions on the outcome Of the ap-
election.
THE JOURNAL does not believe that
the new Washington law will prove a
reformatory measure. 1t is legalized
boss rule, from which the people will
get no relief. The old-fashioned open
primary, or direct vote for party
is better system.
