His brother, Charles Dupont arrived from

to have the remains taken to Salt Lake for
interment, but the distance, and especially
the fact that death resulted from conta

Governor Jones condition is regarded as
hopeless. On Friday the San Francisco
dispatches stated that his trouble had been
determined as cancer of the stomach and
that the end could not be far of. The Gov
errors family were summoned from Carson
and he made his will. Rumors reached
Virginia and Carson on Friday that the
Governor had breathed his last. One of
these rumors contained in a telegram from
San Francisco, seemed SO well grounded that
the flags on the Capitol were hoisted at
half-mast. The rumor was contradicted,
however, and the flags quickly furled.
Upon wishes telegraphed by Governor
Jones, Lieutenant Governor Sadler arrived
in Carson yesterday and assumed the dutiei
of Governor.

IT is not absolutely necessary for
the Populists and Democrats to
unite in order to win. If a straight
Democrat is named at Chicago and
Teller nominated at st. Louis with
the Populists and Silver men be-
hind him, the fight would result in
the Democrats getting all the South
ern States and the Populists and
Silver men getting the Western
States with a chance for two Mid
die States.
This would make dead lock in
the Electoral College with McKin-
ley beaten. This would throw the
vote into the House of Representa-
tlves and If Teller was named for
Secretary of the Treasury and a
good free silver Democrat was elect
ed President the resumption of free
coinage would come and silver would
be king.

THE Salt Lake Tribune still ad-
vises Republicans to stay with the
party, and says that to go off alone
and shout for silver can do no good.
Nevada went off alone and shouted
for silver four years ago and from
that independent action has grown
the great interest that has mani
tested itself throughout the land
on the silver question. But the
silver advocates are not very much
alone just now, they have in their
ranks the brightest men in the ma
ton, and are gaining recruits daily.
Indeed it looks as though the silver
shouters would have good deal
more company at the polls next
Fall than the gold bug Republican
nominees.

WHILE talking about promising
Senator Teller the Cabinet position
of Secretary of the Treasury in
case he is not made nominee of the
combined silver forces for President,
would it not be we'll to consider,
during the campaign, who should
have that position if Senator Teller
is the presidential nominee? And
who could there be more fit for that
position than Senator VIM. M.
Stewart, of Nevada? He has been
the most tireless worker for free
silver coinage the country ever pro-
duced, and it would be fitting
tribute to him to openly tender him
that position in case of the election
of silver President.

THE true inwardness of the So
called sound money sentiment of
the Republicans of the South was
voiced at St. Louis by National
Committeeman N. w. Cuney (col-
ored), of Texas, the leader of the
black and-tan Republicans of the
Lone Star State, who said: "If the
gold men treat rs right, we'er for
sound money; otherwise, we will
raise -" which means that the
negro Republican demands per-
centage of the billions filched from
the people of the United States by
the Infamous gold standard.

New YORK city owns and runs
the Brooklyn bridge at profit,
paying the following wages:
Engineers "a, firemen $2.87, con-
ductors $2.75, toll collector So; all
eight hours.
The elevated railroad in the same
city is private corporation and
pays the following wages: Engi-
neers $3.50, IL hours; fremen $1.6O
to $3.50, 8 hours; conductors 50 to
$3.50, 10 hours; gatemen $3.50 to
$1.80, 10 hours; ticket men $3.50,
IL hours.
So with all the dead weight on
one of the most corrupt city gov
ernments in the world, municipal
ownership and conduct of public
utilities pay better wages and give
the public better service than pri-
vate corporations. All the facts,
such as the figures as TO municipal
light, street cars, water, etc., point
to the same conclusion. Labor Ga

AT LAST the gold bugs have found

THE tariff on imports may be
raised to the extent that it will shut
out imports altogether and it will
not bring revenue enough to carry

duces the price he must sell his

never recovered financially from the
ruin Of his business some years ago.
This being the case the money for
his campaign will have to come
from friends who haveit. tits going
to take millions to elect Mckinley,
il he can be elected at all, and what
is the motive that inspires Mark
Hanna and his class to furnish
such a vast sum of money! They
are not men who will spend such
sums as will be necessary to elect
Mckinley for the mere love of their
country. The motive for McKin-
ley's election is simply a specula-
ton. Hanna and the gold bugs
put up their money for McKinley's
election well knowing that with
such a man in the presidential
chair, placed there under such cir
cumstances, there will be chance
to rob the people of the country of
fifty times the amount the election
will cost them. These are the kind
Of men who are handling the rein'

day. How different from an hum
dred years ago, when the office
sought the man and principle count
ed before Doodle. But there is
healthy stir among the people, and
before the campaign is over the
tactics of the gold bugs will be fully
explained to the masses of voters.
This is year when Americans are
going to declare their rights-they
must declare them-or there will be
secession of the Silver States from
the Union, and eventually rebell-
ion of the masses against the pluto
Gratis that will be more bitter and
terrible than dozen wars like the
late rebellion. The monied powers
of this country and England must
be given to understand that they
cannot buy Presidents and put them
in office to further their own dia-
bolical ends at the expense of the
country. This year is the date fixed
for the overthrow of the money
lenders of the nineteenth century,
and if there is any mistake in car
rying out the program for free coin
age and the freeing of the white
slaves of the country, there will be
another rebellion just so sure as
Christ was crncified.
