NEvAD YsEPTE


We received several complaints last
week from subscribers in Wells and
tiIe valleys that the ISDErESDEST did
not reach them promptly by the first
mail. We referred the matter to
postmaster Sherwood who admitted
the delays and stated that he was
powerlcss To correct the abuse rs lie
was instructed to forward no local mail
on No. 3. Mr.. Sherwood suggested
that Il full statement OF the matter he
laiu before Mr.. Flint. Superintendent
Of Mails at San Francisco. Acting
ON his suggestion, we wrote letter
to Mr.. Flint last Thursday in which
the discrimination against Elko in
both Eastern and Western local mails
WIS fully set forth. From the follow
ing reply, received last evening. it
will be seen that Superintendent
Flint recognized the justice Of the
complaint and has taken steps to
place the Elko Office on the same
level rs ether postofliccs on the line

LincOln's Warning.

During the war President Lincoln
had opportunity to watch the move
ments OF a certain class Of men which
were hidden from the eyes OF the pco.
pie. So grave were the encroach-
ments Of the allied English and
American money powers and so bold
their demand for class legislation that
Lincoln 'orsecing tho consequences
that would result from their success
used these words in his last message
to Congress-:
Monarchy itself is sometimes limited
at rs u possible refuge from the pow
erof the people. In my present po
sition ! could scarcely he justified
wore ] To omit raising warning
voice against this approach OF return
ing deap0tism. Let them lose the
power which they already possess. and
which il surrendered will surely he
used tn close the door Of advance
ment against such ls they, and to fix
new disabilities and burdens upon
them till all Of liberty shall he lost"
-(Appcndix Con. Globe. 37th Cong,

mind at TINT time would quote an
extract from Il letter written by Lin
coin in 1861 to Elkins, Of Illinois. The
letter il published i'll many OF the
earlier biographies. and read i'll part
rs follows:
