A New York Worlds special from
Washington says: Secretary Carlisle
will at once issue 8 full statement to the
public on the bond issue. II will most
undoubtedly announce that the President
will order q public loan. This informs.
tion comes from q source which makes it
impossible to question its truth. The
exact terms Of the statement are still
unsettled, but the chances are ten to one
that the loan will be offered to the public
first. II that call fails, the Government
will fall back on the syndicate.
Since the above was placed in type ii
is learned that Secretary Carlisle has is
sued a circular asking for bids for $780,
0O0.0 600 gold bonds.

The silver cause lie growing. When
the two regular candidates are nomi-
mated this year, il nothing is done Tor
silver by either party. then we shall hear
a connection. Everything points to the
fact that the thing is eliminating o SO
that the people will this year begin to
listen. A year ago il was . ~favorite eI-
preston with such newspapers as the
Chicago Tribune. the Pioneer Press and
all the long array Of gold bug papers in
the East, to ask il silver men wanted to
put this country in the condition Of Mex
leo, on q level with Mexico. OF course
the intention was to carry the idea that
the w~retchedness Of Mexico was due to
the silver standard, Notwithstanding the
differences in races, Notwithstanding the
fact that gold and silver were used in
common in Mexico up to . very short
time ago, and Notwithstanding the other
important fact. that Mexico has never
been 90 prosperous as since silver demon
etization by the United States. The
truth is that Mexico is having q genuine
boom. Her exports Of coffee, sugar,
gutta- percha, tobacco, indigo and other
products have been immense during the
past year, and her cotton, wooden and
paper mills, her glassware, porcelain and
e~arthenware establishments have been
running their full capacity most profit
ably to the owners and to the people.
And the spectacle is presented Of our
Nation, claiming to be the brightest in
the world. working for nothing and IN.
able to meet the current expenses Of the
Government, while across the line a mon
grel nation, nine.tenths Of the people Of
which are but miserable, characterless
half-breeds, lie to-day the most prosper
GUS nation in the world. This contrast
is so marked that it has already begun to
have it's effect. Every man that goes to
Mexico and returns brings the same
story, aud no man on earth can explain
the situation on any other ground than
that the one country is on q silver basis,
where the money is not SO valuable as
property; the other is on . gold basis.
where it takes so much property to buy
q little money that the great masses Of
the workers are merely living.-Ssl.

THE WEEKLY SENTINEL, EUREKA, NEVADA, JANUARY ii. 1896.


For q great many years Nevada was
the leading mining State in the Union.
We have always claimed that when
transportation shall be cheapened and
multiplied. when labor is adjusted on
the scale Of other States. Nevada will
resume her old place as the foremost OF
mining States. although two or three oil
her great districts appear to have been
exhausted. Within the last year an i'm
mensely rich district has begun to yield
in Southeastern Nevada. At least two
great districts have been opened along
the base Of the Sierras. Other Of the
old gold camps in the State have been
r~eawskened, and except about the camps
that oncs depended on the wonderful
bonanzas produced in the old days, there
has been a general advance along all the
lines Of industry. We had hoped that
before this Q railroad would be pointed
into the desert from here, to bring into
active work q score Of mining districts
which only want cheap and swift trans
portation TO make them exceedingly pro-
ductive. That hope has been postponed,
but 1t the same time it is marvellous that
il should be 90, for there is 10 spot in
the United States that we know Of that
gives so much promise for . profitable
railroad traffic as the stretch Of country
for 700 miles between this city and Los
| Angeles. It will have to be done pretty
soon. From the very nature Of the case
it cannot be very long postponed. Ne
vada's wool interest, which is very great,
Of course has been sadly crippled during
the last three years.
Another important interest, through
| which Nevada drew very much revenue,
the raising Of horses, has been prscti-
cslly killed by the fall Of the price Of
all ordinary animals Of that breed. And
yes the men Of Nevada are doing we'll,
making fair livings as they are,
| while o few are making great
fortunes, and all are looking for
ward hopefully that the long-talked
| Of railroads that are to make available
the southeastern aud southern mining
districts will come before long).
The mining world owes very much 10
Nevada. II was the original school Of
mines on this coast. Nevada men are
everywhere-in Montana, Idaho, Utah,
Colorado, Arizona, in Old and New
Mexico-and some are delviDg away I'M
der the Cordilleras and the Andes and in
South Africa. In the future, when the
men Of the East begin to realize how
much Of their own greatness they owe to
the precious metals which have been sent
them from the West, there will be an
awakening all over the camps Of Ne
vada, and the State will prosper with
more than her old-time e~xtravagant
prosperity. We send them New Years
greetings, and with them the hope that
the day Of their good fortune will not be
much longer postponed Salt Lake Tri-
bune.

THE UTAH sENATORsuIP.

The Legislature Of Utah convened on
Monday. Among its first acts will be
the election Of two United States Sena.
tors, for which offices there is q host OF
candidates. The House will be com
posed Of forty-6ve members. Of whom
t~hirty.one are Republicans and fourteen
Democrats. The Senate has eighteen
members, twelve Of whom are Republic
cans and six Democrats, giving the Re.
publicans . majority of twenty.three on
joint ballot.
The most prominent candidates for
Senators are Colonel Isaac Trumbo, Geo.
Q. Cannon, Judge G. w. Bennett. Judge
@. @. Goodwin, Attorney @. s. varian,
A. Arthur Brown and Frank Cannon.
The contest is likely to be very bitter,
and although the Democrats are in .
hopeless minority they may hold the
balance Of power between the different
opposing forces. If they decide after
the irst few ballots TO give up voting
for the two nominees of the Democratic
party and throw their strength to any
particular candidate IL would result in
settling the contest.
Summing up the whole situation, the
chances seem to be that Colonel Trumbo
and Geo. 9. Cannon will be the winners.
