She has been married and was divorced
some time ago, when she resumed her
maiden name.
For seven years she wss in charge of q

IT rs a pretty sure thing that
California has given her electoral
vote to Mckinley. If such is the
case the merchants in the State Of
Nevada should pay this debt Of
gratitude by forming an ASSOCIATION
and buying their imports from Utah
or Colorado, both of which States
gave Bryan and Sewall splendid
majority. It is time to get politics
down to business proposition now.
The people have stood just about
as much as they can without fight
ing California cities have been
built with Nevada money, and in
the palmy days of silver mining in
this State San Francisco and Sac
ramento thrived as never before, or
since. Now that our main industry
is paralyzed by unfair legislation,
the people of California vote to con-
tinue the depression in this State,
and not only here but throughout
the land. California never knew
what hard times were until the eff
fects of the characterization of silver
begun to be felt and the mines in
mines in Nevada begun to shut
down, and the population leave the
State, and now in the great struggle
that has been made to protect our
selves, she goes back on us.
How different with the new State
of Utah, and the banner State of
Colorado. They both poll hand
some majority for Bryan and
Sewall. To them Nevada sends
greeting, and if it were in our pow
er, Denver and Salt Lake should
have every dollars worth of trade
that went out of Nevada.

THE battle is over, and the cohorts
of gold have won. But those mis-
take the. temper of the American
people who believe that the victory
is more than temporary, or that the
cause of Silver has been permanent
ly overthrown. In the face of
money, influence, the power OF
wealth and the potent mastery Of
the Churches over millions; in the
very teeth of the most shameless
intimidation and coercion of Amer
lean citizens that have ever dis
graced our political history--a vote
has been recorded for the right that
is powerful even in the midst of de-
feat; vote that will be q nucleus
to which multitudes Of other votes
will adhere as the hours go by I'M
til four years from now the cause
which to-day is not lost will emerge

THOSE who think the Silver
Party is dead in Nevada will find
it the liveliest stiff two years from
now that they ever undertook to
put under the sod. Neither the
Republican party, the Democratic
nor the Populist party will cut the

in Nevada until the Silver Party
has accomplished its ends-the res
toration of silver to its proper place
as a money metal.

THE Sacramento Bee has done a
good thing in the late election in
showing the infamous Judge Catlin
under. He was the Judge who de-
cided that it was libelous to publish
the news Of the day and fined the
Bee proprietors for doing the same.
Catlin's decision in the Bee case
cost him several thousand votes in
California, and he will not have a
chance to be SO handy with pur-
chased decisions for some years to
come. The Bee has given him a
belt where he needed it most.

SENATOR JONES said, in one of
his campaign talks, that if McKin-
ley was elected he believed it would
be best to give the country as high
protective tariff as it wanted-the
higher the better, would suit him.
We do not believe in this way of
doing. The Senator argued that it
would demonstrate that the tariff
was not what was the matter with
the country. This has been dem
onstrated for the past six years.
Every thinking man knows that
the trouble in this country is the
scarcity of money, and that cannot
be overcome by tariff, because to
place a tariff on imports high
enough to raise the necessary reve-
nue. would shut out the imports.
The only way the silver men can
make themselves felt is to see that
no tariff law passes the Senate I'M
til free coinage law has been
passed by both houses and signed
by the President. A tariff law
would only benefit a few wealthy
manufacturers, and they would ac-
cumulate enough in the next four
years to be able to spend another
fifty or hundred millions to defeat
BRYAN or some other man who
would spring from the people.
Fight the tariff tinkerers to the last
ditch is what we advocate.

THE Bladder man is blind to the
records of all men except those he
expects favors from. He says he
has referred to the Journal of 1885
and cannot find where DIR. Leavitt
voted for the bill to raise the Treas
urers salary of Lyon county from
5000 to 81, 700. Mr.. Leavitt did not
vote for the bill. He lodged the
issue by leave of absence. He was
a member of the Legislature in
1885, we guess the Bladder man
will have to admit If he was not
in favor of raising the salaries of
the Treasurer and Commissioners
he should have been in attendance
fighting the bills. The Commits
sioners salaries were raised from
$400 per year to $500 per year and
mileage, and the Assessor was given
a deputy at SIS per day SO long as
the Commissioners saw fit to en-
ploy one. Anyone who will look
the Statutes and Journal of 1885
over carefully will find that our
statement is correct, that Mr..
Leavitt did not oppose one of these
measurers. 1t is one thing to
make an assertion and another
thing to prove it if there is a ques-
ton raised about its truthfulness.

are his'n. At the beginning of the
silver movement and the organiza-
ton of silver leagues in Lyon coun-
ty the TIMES wheeled into line for
the cause of the white metal and
liberty. We shall fight for this
cause until we are killed off by
starvation or some other means.
During the campaign of 1896 what
we could possibly do to make the
people understand that the gold
power is fast welding the letters of
poverty upon the laborers and pro-
ducers of the country, was done.
The TIMES has thrown no mud, as
serted nothing but the truth, and
is willing to abide by the result.
The line Of independent candid
ates who defeated the Silver Party
nominees are Republicans at heart,
and we will patiently await to see
what course they will pursue. The
independent candidates who left
the Silver Party to get office, met
with the crushing defeat they de-
served. One received SO votes in
the county and the other SO. This
ought to be lesson to them. The
honest men of the party were be-
trayed by supposed friends, and
they have injured the party greatly,
but not beyond repair by any
means. The State has given the
Silver Ticket an overwhelming ma
jority which shows that the senti
ment of the people is with the par
ty.
Many, however, have believed
that in county matters it made
little difference who held office SO
long as they were good men. In
this the TIMES differs and ever will.
If there is to be National and
State Silver Party, there must be a
Silver Party in every county in the
State in the Union, and we hold
that it is nothing but right that
those who belong to the Silver
Party should have the preference
of the offices over those who are
running on independent lines.
The campaign is over, it is pretty
positive that Mckinley has won
and that we are to go it on a gold
standard for four years more at
least Whether Nevada can exist
much longer on the lines cut out is
question. There are hundreds of
thousands of men in the country to-
day who would much prefer to
shoulder arms and fight for liberty
than to starve to death in the COM
ing four years. They are ready to
secede at moments notice, and it
will be miracle if, during the ad-
ministration of the next four years,
there is not an outbreak of the
people that will prove serious to our
country.
However, Nevadans must take
their medicine. 1t is bitter, but
there is no getting away from it.
Down it with a gulp and buckle ON
your broadaxe for the fight two and
four years hence.
You will find there is no one who
can take defeat better than the
TIMES. 1t has fought its best and
lost. It has fought for what it
thought to be right, and which it
still believes to be right, and which
it believes will some day be proven
to be right. That is all an honest
sheet can do. We will be at you
in 1900.

BATHING SUITS FOR THE SEA.

The fashionable bathing suit of 1896
is a thing of beauty. whatever may be
said of its useful and durable qualities.
Embroideries, silks and ribbons enter
into its construction without any re-
gard for the destructive properties of
salt water. Mohair is one of the popu-
lar materials this season, with the ever
useful serge and the plain and spotted
fiannels, but cravanette, fine water
proof material, Persian laiuage, surah,
and china silk in various colors are
all in use for this purpose.
Boomers OF black surah are worn
with white flannel costumes, and with
black stockings and black surah neck
tie. Broad collars are the usual sup
plement to the blouse waist and these
are often made of seme contrasting
color and material. Skirts are cut
circular. straight or slightly gored and
gathered or plated in box plaits
around the waist.
The boomers, which are always a
part of every well-made suit. are usu-
L,
but one pretty idea is shown in a gown
of white flannel laid in tucks around
the skirt and across the vest. The
collar belt and BOWS are of black satin
anG the boomers are of black surah.
Another gown of black cravanette is
trimmed with white silk braid. Black
and white striped silk bands are the
trimming on gown of Persian lain
age. Bathrobes Of Turkish towelng
trimmed with braid are very useful ad-
ditions to the bathing outfit.
Sandals strapped across the instep
with braid or ribbon are a pretty pro-
lection for the feet, and brigh. silk
handkerchiefs tied around the head,
with two ends spreading out in front,
are much more becoming than the con-
yentional bathing cap.
