The Republicans of Nevada will hold a

the purpose Of e%IeCting delegates to 60 to

The co INVENTION will be an important one

trusted with important duties. The silver

Mike de Young, Of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, seeing that the Renub-
licau party will declare against silver,
al st. Louis, is beginning to get ready,
as he did four years, to crawl into the
goldbug camp. As a true bimetallist,
Mike won't do. 1t is a shame that 50
many OF the metropolitan newspapers
are aiding Rothschild & Co. in de-
stroying the great American Repub-
lic.-Belmont Courier.
1t is evident that the gold forces
will rally as never before to control
the conventions at st Louis aud Chic
ago. If they cannot win hy force
OF original sentiment among the dele
gates, they are prepared to spend
money lavishly for success. It is not
a cheering outlook.

Is it a Job

Under this head the Weekly has the
following
The m"rmurlngs which are heard on
the streets 90 to prove that the taxpayers
are dissatisfied with the manner in which
the school trustees nave been spending
their money.
At the great cost of 5000 they have had
built a new stairway at the school house
which is not absol 4tely necessary Cat least
we have gotten along without it all these
years. and without advertising for bids. al
though the value of the work was above
$500.
Allowing that the stairway is necessary
there is no need of a floor under If, = wall
with windows therein, around il. or a roof
above it. Why was it not built last sum
mer when over $1,000 worth of other re-
pairing was done to the old buildingo Is
it because an election is near that .he
plumS, so to speak, must be so literally
given.
1t was not so very long ago that the
citizens of Carson refused to vote $4,000
for the building of a new school house ;
and still the trustees spent during the pest
twelve months over $4,000 trying to i'm
prove a veritable old barn.
Judging from certain ak we think that
the citizens will not stand by idle ard
watch these things done.
