The Vote Of Nevada.
(N. Y. World.)

In the most exciting presidential
election since Nevada was admitted
into the Union that sovereign state
mustered total of l0,655 voters. This
would be a very small vote for a con-
gressional district anywhere in the I'm
len, but it entities this little coterie of
silver miners to two senators as well
as a congressman. The total vote of
the country at the last election was ap-
rroximately 13.6O0.000. This vote is
represented in the legislation of the
country by 80 senators and 1851 con-
gressmen,a total of 447 representatives.
"A simple sum in proportion will show
that each vote in Nevada counts for
eight times as much as the average
vote in the rest of the country. TAX
ing the senate alone the disproportion
is still greater While the rest of the
country has only one senator to 15l,-
900 voters, Nevada has one senator to
$500 voters, making the disproportion
80 to L.
In New York it is even worse. New
York is allowed one senator to 6S0O0O
voters against Nevada's 530O-a dis
proportion of 100 to l.
And even this is not the worst. Out
Of the 1O.655 voters of Nevada only
1919 were intelligent enough to be
safely intrusted with the ballot, as
that is the exact number who asserted
their belief that it takes one hundred
cents to make dollar.

Various Views About Tariff legislation.

The views of the men, whose votes
specting tariff legislation, will be of in
terest up to the time such legislation
may be had The views among the Re-
publican senators and members of the
House do not violently conflict and are
nOticeably harmonious in the belief
that the Dingley bill should not be CON
sidered in any sense as substitute for
the thorough revision of the tariff ex-
pected of the Republican party by the
country. But as to the feasibility of
taking up the Dingley bill at the next
session and as to the need of an extra
session the opinions vary The idea OF
an extra session seems, however, to be
gaining ground, although Senator
Quay in recent interview is credited
with saying:
Immediate restoration of protection
to those industries butchered by the
Wilson bill is required and the obtain
ing of sufficient revenue for the needs
of the government. In some things
the present tariff law is very good. ir
others extremely bad. The pending bill
] is only short term affair, but it will
do to bridge over the urgent necessities
OF the government. OF course the bill
when taken up in the Senate will h,
amended somewhat and should then bt
promptly passed" He would ther
nave no extra session and let the
thorough revision of the tariff go ovel
TIL the next regular session of Congress.

STEADILY, but surely, many of t1e southern and western Democratic leaders are getting to the point on tariff where the editor of this paper has always stood-incidentdl protec- tioR Up to a few years ago we were frequently spoken of as q Repub- lican, because we never favored free trade, nor a mock tariff for revenue only. Time is great c0rrector, and the views we have ever enter tained respecting this feature of political economy are fas5 being conceded as just and imperatlvely necessary Commercial
 Sometime ago, during the early summer, if we remember correctly, the editor of the Commercial was de- nying that he had ever been a pro tectionist, but now we have his own confession in the above.
 But what we want to inquire about is, who are the Southern and Western Democratic leaders now advocating protection? Since the the death tthii cf the lanlen ted there has not been a Democratic statesman of any prominence throughout the country that has advocated protection, incidental or direct. The great Democratic yic- tory of 1892 was won along lines of tariff reform, and the Democratic platform of 1896 pledged further reductions in the tariff after the settlement of the money question. Indeed, there has been no abatement in zeal among Democrats for tariff levied for revenue only, and the Democratic party IS as earnest in the cause of tariff reform now as ever.
 The protectionists of this country belong in the Republican party, and not in Democratic ranks.
