Richardson's Views

Murfreesboro, Tenn, Nov. 9.-In
answer to Undergraduates of What is
your opinion of the result Of McKin-
ley's election?" Congressman J. D..
Richardson gave the following state
ment:
mckinley was opposed to the single
gold standard before his nomination,
but was coerced into favoring it in
order to gain the Presidency. If he is
honest as a President, and allows his
real convictions t. govern him, he
will not favor it and will disappoiDt
those who elected him. II, however,
that policy is enforced, I do not believe
there will De permanent prosperity
among the masses and those who are
producers"

The California Traitors,

The San Francisco Star publishes the
following extract from Tom doors Lalla
Rookh in order to voice its opinion of the
Republican gold bugs of California:
o for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like a deadly blight,
Comes ore the the counsels of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of might d!
May life's unb.essed cup for him
Be drugged with treacheries to the brim,
With hopes that but allure to fly,
With joys that vanish while he sips,
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eye,
But turn 10 ashes on the lips!
Just Prophet, let the damned one dwell
Beholoing heaven and feeling hell!
The above may be quite a sufficient
fit for the case in California, but for the
Nevada men who turned on the Silver
State in the hour of need ordinary poetr,
is insufficient, and the plain mining camp
vocabulary of profane vanacular seems tC
scarcely fill the bill. Under these circum
5 tances it may be better to let the matte
drop.

Hard Lines Tor a Campaign.

The Chairman of the Democrats
thus tells of the s, arcity OF 'soap'
with his committee during the cam
paign:
"Whep "A committee has not enough
money to pay the railroad fare for ii
man to run down into IA county to
straighter out IA factional ti4ht; when
it has not enough money to pay post
age on campaign literature; when it
has not enough money t" send men
into close counties to make speeches
and stir up the people, the committee
of the other party which has the
| money has the best OF it from The
start. I, of course, cannot analS Re the
vote and See wherin We fell short, and
the wy of it, until l can get at least
partial returns; but l know that the
returus will show that Il troubles
lay in big lots in various sections OF
the state. But We will try again.
This mas not been a landslide in the
whole country, and our defeat Of Tues
day will simply start US on to victory
in 1900. William jennings Bryan il
the logical candidate for 1900 for us
and he will win then. He today is thu
choice # the silver men IF Illinois fol
nominee Of the next national Demo
cratic convention, and We will wal
with patience for four years.
The APPEAL calls The atteutlOn o
the gentleman to the fact h here il
Nevada the State Central Commute
had less than $500 for campaign pur
poses, Yet the State gave a majority o
1000 tor Bryan, thus proving itself tn
banner silver State Of the America
Union.

THE BALL GAME.

The Nevada SIar-, who We're foolish
enough TO reconsider their Intention

finally invrgled iht" a game last Sun

until a rain storm cAIae up aud after
the grounn CT %slirp-ry the Sage
%brushers, who are unused to such con-
ditions, went all 20 pieces. Moore Of
Virginia made two home runs and
did the greatest batting ever seen at
the Bay.
Parties in this city after the first
row between the Stars and the EX-
aminer offered to take them on a Uur
independent of newspapers backing
and give them II chance to make some
morey. Had they done this and
played the Monograms of Oregon they
would now have some of the long
| green in their pockets. AS II is now
they play for charity and only &c
their expenses while the Monarch gets
all the free advertising out OF thei-
hard work.

The Valley Creamery.

VIM. Larue and JAS. West, both Of

last right on their way home. They
had been in Carson on business con-
nected with a lease or sale Of the
Mason Valley creamery. 1t is under

has a lease of the property is thinking
of purchasing outright, and has Of

farmers most likely will be willing to
pay that price.-Dayton Times.

.rer,.row.r-for nigh speed.

The large amount OF fuel required for
very high speed racing boats has been
the subject of thorough investigation
by experts. in order, if possible, to re-
duce the quantity Of coal necessary for
this purpose. Some of the British tor
Pedo boat chasers are thought 10 be the
most perfect vessels OF their class in ex-
istence. but in order 10 attain d 30-knot
speed, they must carry CO tons Of coal.
This is fully one-quarter of their entire
sea-going displacement. Under high
speed they consume between three and
half and four tons of coal al hour. To
proPel = vessel with a speed OF IS knots
an hour, the consumption OF fuel is ire
mendous- Twenty-seven knots a hour
Is the best speed of the ordinary torpedo
boat. In order 20 reach the 5O-krot line
fully 80 per cent more fuel IS required.
