THE NEWSPAPER DlCkER BIRD
Or, The Sudden Conversion o. q
Silver Sheet to the Gospel OF

God.
r. B Whittier, j., in Siiver-knight
Watchman:
A newspaper dicker-bird sat in a tree
Singing Hanna, sweet Hanna, dear
Hanna!
Of thy bari, l prithee, give unto me
Thy mamma, sweet mama, gold mamma;
And then | will perch on the Prov OF thy
boat,
And the gold notes will pipe from my
thin little throat,
Inviting poor ignorant farmers to vote
For Mckinley, Mckinley, Mckinley.
And Mark Hanna cried with a grin On his
face:
Poor fellow! poor fellow poor fellow?
| surely must try TO find HIM a place
To below, to below, to below;
l know he's no singer; naught but a
goose;
| know he's no count, but I'll make him
of use,
In pouring out torrents of dirty abuse
On Bryan, VIII Bryan, Will Bryan
Then the bird, who'd been chipping early
and late
For silver, bright silver, free silver.
Changed its tune and begin at a wonder
full rate
To pilfer, TO pilfer, TO pilfer,
The strains Wall-street sirens had chanted
SO long,
To sneer down the right and cry up ths
wrong,
And to weave fulsome praises into it
song
OF Hanna, Boss Hanna, Marse Hanna
But the Ides of November brought
slaughtering frost
To Hanna, poor Hanna, sick Hanna.
And the poor little dicker-bird cried, Il an
lost"
But "Hosanna! H~osanna. Hosanna!'
Was the cry of the people freed from til
strain
, OF the sound money, Wall stree
plutOCrat chain,
Which will never be rivited on Their
again,
, BY Hanna, poor Hanna, dead Hanna.

Tks LUZ CASE REVERSED.
The Supreme Court Holds That
His Mortgage was Valid.

The case OF Martin Lutz VS. Sheriff
Kinney Of this county has at laot heen
decided by the Supreme Court, and
Lutz has secured "a decision. The
case is OF considerable interest here,
as all the parties in the suit are we'll
known in Carson.
1t grew out OF the fact that Archie
Baker owed money to Boskowitz s.
Co.. liquor dealers, Of San Francisco.
They attached rhe goods in Bakers
store, but Lutz served notice on the
Sheriff not to sell said goods as he
pat up an indemnity bond and the
Sheriff sold the goods.
LutZ brought suit through All.
Chartz, and Judge Mack decided in
favor of Kinney. The Defendant,
Kinney, held that the mortgage was
insufficient from the fact thai the
affidavit attached to it was mt 10
proper form. Judge Mack held that
such was the case, and gave Judgment
for Kinney.
The Court in its decision says:
Martin Lutz, the plaintiff herein held
a chatta-l mortgage executed to him
by said Archer Baker said mortgage
having been duly recorded 10 the Of
flee of the County Recorder. The de
PENDANT disregarded said mortgage
and complied with none Of the pro-
visions Of the statute with reference to
the seizure, under attachment or eXe-
%cution, Of mortgaged personal prop
erty hence this suit by the plaintiff
against the defendant.
The question to be determined is,
as to the sufficiency Of the affidavit
!, annexed to the mortgage.
The trial Court found: That Mar

), gage named, while it is evident that
he Intended to subscribe lis name TO
the affidavit as required by the
> statute in each case made and pro
vided. in fact wrote his name opposite
the words Estate Of NEVADA in the
venue of the mOrtgagor as assigned
y by him to the mortgage, and thai
Martin Lutz did not subscribe his
y name to the affidavit and therefore the
mortgage as executed was not a sui
ficient notice to bind creditors. 4 X
THAT defendant is entitled to judg
ment dismissing this cause and 70
costs of suit expended by him"
. Judgment was entered accordingly
The plaintiff appeals from the judg
- ment and order of the Court denying
for his motion for a new trial.
There is 40 statute or rule of Cour
. in this State requiring the affidavit
annexed to a chattel mortgage to b
subscribed or signed by the affiants
and in the absence thereof we are o
the opinion that it was not necessar

Of County Commissioners of Washo
County, 5 New. 800, the Court espresso
~ the Op1nlOn that an a11ldaVlt need nc

We are Of the opinion that the Di:

SENATOR STEWARDS sPEEoH.

The speech OF Senator Stewart ct the
Academy OF M1sic last night came fully
up 70 the s1essssGons of the friends
and admirers G. the Nevada statesman.
His sDsssDns wss large and comprised
many g. tas asrSiinS eidzsns of Roa-
noke ant ta,lasay. The deep attention
paid AIT he frequent applause proved
that ths syHrsIaies OF those present
were largely with the speaker, who
handled She sDb5sct Of free coinage with
q skill and logic evincing careful study
and extensive research.
His review Of the history OF money,
its uses and abuses. was mastery ex-
position of the subject, while his des :
cription of the demonstration OF silver
and his exposure of the silent working
of the conspiracy in favor Of gold held
the audience in wrapt attention. He
traced the growth and decay of the
great parties OF the nation, and showed.
when the two lending organizations of
the country were united on the most
important issue, that they had outlived
their usefulness. and Bhould give place
to others with liver issues and more
aggressive tendencies.
The leaders of the Republican and
Democratic parties. he said, were
slaves to money lenders and gold
changers, and were working with them
towards common aim for the exalta-
tion Of gold at the expense Of silver.
The free silver party, he said, afforded
the only means OF solving this ques-
tion, and the remedy for existing evils
is for the friends of that metal to act
with the invention that meets in St.
Louis on the 22d Of July next, and
and nominate man for President in
full sympathy with the movement. a
full report of the speech is printed in
TIE TIMES this morning. and its oare-
full perussl is recommended to all who
desire to add to their knowledge OF
this most important question.
