JUSTICE Brown, of Washington,
delivered an opinion in the Supreme
Court on the Goth in the case of the
Central Pacific Railway Company
VS.. the State of Nevada. involving
the right of the State to tax the
railroad lands. The case came up
to the Supreme Court from the Ne
vada Supreme Court on a writ Of
error sued out by the railroad COM
pany. The State Court held that
the State was entitled to levy taxes
upon patented lands; also lands
not patented but surveyed, and on
which the cost Of surveying had not
been paid. Justice Browns opin-
ion afirms this decision.

THE Democrats from the State of

financial plank by large majority

"WHEREAs, the present condition
of the country and shrinkage Of
values are largely due to the finan-
cial system which has controlled
the nation for more than twenty
years past, we hereby declare our
selves as unalterably opposed to
the single gold standard, and de-
mand the immediate return to the
constitutional standard of gold and
silver by the restoration by the
general government, independently
OF amy foreign power, of unrestrict-

into standard money at the rate of

equality as they existed prior to

THE Sacramento Bee has lost its
libel suit case. Something over
three years ago the Bee published q
news item about a widow woman
named Truitt charging prominent
Sacramento merchant, named Gil
son, with rape. The widow had
ellison arrested on the charge, but
we believe he was found not guilty.
He then sued the Bee for libel, ask
ing $4,000 damages, and Judge
Catlin, who tried the case, found
for ellison, awarding him $500
damages. From this decision the
Bee appealed to the Supreme Court,
and that Court affirmed the decis-
ion Of Judge Catlin. Again the
Bee appealed for a rehearing, which
has been denied.
The decision in this case virtual
ly puts reward on corruption, vice
and crime. as it holds that no pub
LEGATION of such news can be made
until the facts are proved. It is
bow at the liberty Of the press
that no paper in the State Of Cali
lfornia should forget to resent when
the opportunity offers. The Bee
has fought the cause of all the pa

sLAvERx FOR CUBA.

Why is Mr.. Cleveland favorable
to Spain and against Cuba2 Be-
cause Spain owes 81 200, 100000 of
which $500, 100000 are secured by
the revenues of Cuba. But what
difference does that make to the
President of the United StatesY
The answer is another question.
How can Mr.. Cleveland be indiffer-
ent to his benefactors, the Roths-
child combination2
Now, what difference will there
be in the condition of the Cubans
and the Egyptians if Spain can
hold Cuba and make her pay $780,
600, 900, for which her revenues are
now pledged, and the additional
cost of the present war? None
whatever. Cuba and Egypt will
be under the same master, the
Rothschild combination, which will
govern both The only, difference
will be that Englishmen will WELD
the lash in Egypt and Spaniards in
Cuba.
Is there any international law
which would prevent the United
States from interfering to secure the
independence of Cuba? None what
ever. There is no law. national or
international, which deprives civ
ilized governments from abating
nuisances. It must be conceded
that the barbarous methods which
Spain has invoked for the last fifty
years to make Cuba submit to ex-
tortion and outrage are a violation
to all laws, national and inter-
national, human, divine, and it is
the duty of every civilized nation
which has the power to put a stop
to this international outrage.-Sil-

rae GOvERNoR QUESTION.

AS yet no action has been taken
by Governor Sadler in the appoint
ment of Lieutenant Governor, and
it is intimated by him that no ac-
ton will be taken until the Su
preme Court decides just what
position he is in as regards the
salary of the Office. Should the
Court decide that Mr.. Sadler is still
Lieutenant Governor, but must per-
form the duties of the Governor at
no salary except as provided for
Lieutenant Governor, be might re-
fuse. to act. Then President pro
tempore Gignoux might refuse to
act; SO might the Speaker of the
House, and what kind of a boat
would the State be in then? There
are many peculiar possibilities
about this question, one of which is
that should the Supreme Court try
to make Mr.. Sadler act without a
salary he might convene the Legis-
latnre to straighten out the salary
question. This would be expensive,
and ought not to be done if it can
be avoided.
One of our prominent citizens
wrcte to the Examiner a few days
ago asking the following question:
"When Lieu-Gov. Waterman took
Gov. Bartlett's place did he receive
the Governors salary or did the
Legislature make an appropriation
for his pay at it's next meetingW
The answer received was as follows:
Lieut. Gov. Waterman took Office
and salary of Governor from the
time of Gov. Bartlett's death in
1887 to the expiration of the term
in 1891"
The Constitutions of the two
States being the same on this sub
ject it would seem that similar ac-
tion would be taken in Nevada.
There is no doubt but the intent of
the section of the Constitution COW
ering this ground is that the Lieu
tenat Governor should step into the
place of the Governor and receive
all the emoluments of that office.
and laws passed contrary to this
are unconstitutional. But what
some Of the technical, quibbling
petti(oggers who get to be judges in
this State will do is a matter Of
considerable doubt.

The most useless and expensive
thing that Nevada has is her Sn-
preme Court. The State is paying
about $4,000 year for the luxury
of getting opinions on cases that
have been decided once by men
who are just as capable to interpret.
and decide law questions as those.
who are selected to sit on the Su-
preme Bench. To abolish the Su-
preme Court it would be Necessary
to amend the Constitution, and if
once started on the straight road
to economy, the people might as
we'll call Constitutional Conven-
ton and make all the necessary
changes in that ambiguous article
we call our Constitution. We have
five District Judges in the State,
and in cases of appeal from the de-
cision of any one Judge three of
the others could sit in banc and
pass upon the case with just as
much merit, equity and satisfac-
ton as any Supreme Court that
can be elected. The taxpayers of
State should think this matter over
and see if is not one more reason
for the calling of Constitutional
Convention for the complete revis-
ion of the Constitution we now are
working under and throwing our
money away.

SANTA FE EATING HOUSES

ORR -cted to by Proprietors of Hotels in
Kansas Towns.
By maintaining their railroad eating
houses at points along the lines in Kan
sas, the Santa Fe company, it appears,
has incurred the enmity of the Kansas
Hotel Keepers association.
c. L. Usher. proprietor of the Mid
land hotel of Hutchinson, and preside MT
of the association, has published an
open letter in which he states that the
association objects to the Santa Fe com
pany becoming competitors through their
lessee in the field OF local and commercial
hotel business. That the lessee of the
company. through the concessions made
by the railway company in the way of
free transportation of freights is able to
obtain material at entirely nominal cost,
thereby becoming an active competitor
with private capital and individuals. He
also states that as long it was neces-
sary to maintain the houses for the =
commodation of the passengers the right
was conceded. but that branch of the
business having been abandoned, the as
ISOLATION considers it unjust that the
hotels should be maintained on the pres
ent basis.

For Humanify's Sake, After Thirty.
SIX Years of Nerve Creeping sIavs
cry, He Tells How He Was Set Free.

CALDWELL, N. j., Jan. 4-One of our
prominent citizens, S J. Gould, who has
suffered terribly from tobacco tremens,
mas, In behalf of humanity, made known
ms lrightful experience. In his written
statement, which is attracting widespread
attention, he says: 81 commenced using
TOBACCO at thirteen: am now forty-nine;
SO, LOT thIrty-six years l chewed, smoked,
snuHed and rubbed snuff till my skin
turned tobacco brown and cold. sticky
persplratlon oozed from my skin, and
trickled down my back at the least
e1ertion or excitement. My nerve, vigor
and my life were being slowly sapped
made up my mind that l had to quit
tobacco or die. tried to stop tobacco
time and again, but could not l saw
double and my memory was beyond con-
troll, but Still knew how to chew and
smoke, which l did all day until toward
night, when my system got tobacco
soaked again. Finally l gave up in des-
pair, as l thought that could not cure
myself.
"Now, for suffering humanity, I'll tell
what saved my life. Providence evil
IDENTIFY answered my good wife's prayers
and brought to her attention a booklet
called: Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke
Your Life Awayr What a sermon and
warning in these words! Just what was
doing. 1t told about a guaranteed cure
for the tobacco habit called No -To-Bsc.
l sent to Druggist Hasler for a box.
Without a grain of faith l spit out my
tobacco cud, and put into my mouth
little tablet upon which was stamped
No To- BAG l know it sounds like a lie
when l tell you that took eight tablets
the first day, seven the next. five the
third day, and all the nerve-creeping
feeling, restlessness and mental depres-
sion was gone. It was too good TO be
true. 1t seemed like a dream. / used
one box. 1t cost me 81, and it is worth
a thousand. l gained ten pounds in
weight and lost all desire for tobacco
from the first day. l sleep and eat
ways than l can tell.
II firmly believe No-To- Bac will cure
any case of tobacco using if faithfully
tried. and there are thousands of tobacco
slaves who ought to know how easy it is
to get free. There's happiness in No
To- BAG for the prematurely old men
who think as did that they are old and
worn out, when tobacco is the thing
that destroys their vitality and manhood
"The public should be warned, how
ever, against the purchase of any of the
many limitations on the market, as the
success of No To-Bac has brought forth
a host of counterfeiters and imitafOrs.
The genuine No-To- BAG is made by Tho
Sterling Remedy Co., Chicago, Montreal
and New York, and sold under a guaran-
tee to cure by all druggists. and every
tablet has the word toto BAG plainly

or financial risk in purchasing the gen

mission are bitterly condemned. the report
containing the following opinion; eve
can discover no legitimate field for the
operations of the ticket broker. His &C.
cupation is essentially lawless: his activ-
tiles have no legal sanction and are at
variance with any defensible principle
upon which public transportation can be
conducted. Nevertheless the business
has many followers and is not without
apologists. The scalper wherever he
may be found has constantly on hand
and offers for sale tickets which enable
passenger to travel at less rates than
he would be obliged to pay if he dealt
with the railroads directly.
If passengers can be carried at profit,
Notwithstanding the losses which accrue
from the cut-rate practices, it is mani
testify just and for the interest of the
public that low rates instead of being
enjoyed only by those who patronize the
scalper, should be made available to all
travellers alike"
1t appears from the last clause that the
commission are OF the opinion that the
railroads should compete with rates of
fered by the scalpe-s, which is practical
impossibility.
