TALK ABOUT LUNAncs.
What's the Matter With the Author Of This
Remarkable Scrcedp

New YORK, N. Y, September o.
A London dispatch gives extracts from
q remarkable letter written to promi.
nent radical paper by j. Morrison
Davidson, member of the bar and an
author and speaker of considerable
eminence. These are some of the things
he tells the working people Of Great
Britain concerning local political con-
ditions:
"Great pains are being taken by the
organs of capital, both In America and
Great Britain, to conceal the porten-
teous fact that veritable class war,
eliminating not improbably iu infinite
bloodshed, has broken out in the great
| ToPuuiiU VI IDo wesJ. Inc problem
with which our United Ctates brethren
find themselves face to face is ostensi-
bly, one affecting the material out Of
which money is to be made. The Nc
Kinleyites contend for a 'cross OF gold
as most suitable for crucifxion pur-
poses, and the Bryanites for consider
ably easier 'cross OF gold and silver;'
but neither, as yet, have word to say
against the iniquity of crucitixion it.
self. Whether the constitution of the
American republic will be able much
longer to stand the strain which uncon-
scionable usury is now putting on it,
remains to be seen. But though the
ship of state is among the breakers, she
has on board many experienced, skill
full and courageous pilots, who are not
the sort TO succumb to an Infamous
pack of cowardly financiers, bankers
and other feecers. II they do, it will
prove that the almighty dollar is indeed
all mighty; that the shekel is more
powerful than the sword.'

To the Public.

We wish to state to the good people of
Las Vegas and vicinity, that the means to
build the Sanitarium have been provided
for, but we are without means to furnish
the building. We have concluded, there
fore, to hold a fair during Thanksgiving
week, to raise funds with " hich to furnish
the building. We are dependent on the
generosity Of the public to accomplish this
purpose and desire to state that we do not
expect to get the necessary amount by
large donations, but by the mite from the
many. Hence, we hope that none will re-
fuse to assist us. This is public institu-
tion by which all will be benefited, and in
which all should feel an interest.

Acting secretary Hamlin, of the
treasury department, who has just re-
turned from Gray Gables, said this
morning, that he knew nothing about
the alleged request of President Cleve-
land for Auditor Baldwin's resignation,
because the latter espoused the cause
OF Bryan and free silver. Mr.. Hamlin
discredits the story, stating that neither
from the president nor Secretary Car
Isle had he received the slightest in
timation that such q course was in con-
temptation.
