The important question to be
decided in the present campaign is
that of return to Protective Tariff
as the best means of raising revenue
to pay the current expenses of the
government, maintain the national
credit and reduce the public debt, and
at the same time protect American
industries to the extent of imposing
duties equal to the difference between
the wages paid in Europe and in the
United States.
Protective Tariff with reciprocity is
the great American doctrine, one that
has made the people happy, the coun
try prosperous and the leading min
ing, manufacturing and agricultural
nation of the world.

THE PRESIDENTS PRIVATE
LIFE.

The following is fair idea of the
many incidentaIs that come free to
a President: Every bit of linen, bed
ding, towels and such things is fur
nished. He is shaved by the White
House barber. His table is spread
with the finest, deintiest damask, set
with the most exquisite china, and
bountifully supplied with flowers from
the White House Conservatives. IL
he sends telegram, it is done from
an instrument in the White House,
for which the government pays. His
stationery, postage, etc., cost him
nothing. Should he desire game of
billiards, there is a beautiful table at
hand; or if he wants to take drive,
his stables, which the government
pays the rent for and takes care of,
are amply equipped. When he enters
his business Office, a man is stationed
at the door to open and close it; and
a private secretary, to whom the
government pays salary of $4,000 a
year, assists him with his correspond
ence. The services OF a type writer
are also furnished. He is protected
from the curious by number of pri-
vate watchmen. Should he want
cruise, magnificent steamship from
the navy is placed at his disposal.
There are many other things that
cost him nothing, such as the culinary
arrangements, his steward, who does
the marketing, the many fancy deli
cacies sent him by enterprising firms.
This, by the way,is a sort of nuisance,
for it seems to be the desire Of every
manufacturer of some new eatable or
drinkable to get it into the White
House. Things of value that find
their way there are never accepted.

The benefits of cooperation In
the development OF man are too we'll
recognized to be denied. Physically
weaker than many of the animals
that surrounded him, he could not
long have survived in q struggle for
existence against them had he been
forced to continue the struggle alone.
Nor could he have attained the men
tai development upon which so much
Of his success has depended without
contact with his fellows. The most i'm
porUant,i if not the most necessary, con-
dition of mans success in the strug-
gle for existence is society. Social
growth becomes possible only trough
the survival of the socially fit. In an
advancing society this process must
ever tend toward the production and
preservation Of the ssethically best.''
Recognition of the rights of others
has been equally as important in the
evolution of man as self assertion. In
deed, it may be claimed that under
the conditions of social life it is
necessary consequence of self asser-
ton. Men could not live long togeth-
er unless they recognized the right Of
each to his own and respected it. The
survival of a society, like the survival
of the individuals composing it, be-
comes possible only through adapta-
ton to the necessary conditions of
life, and it will not be denied by Pro-
lessor Huxley that morality is essen
tial to social well being-Popula1 Sci

Shooting in Virginia City.

Word reached here yesterday af-
ternoon that shooting affair had
taken place in Virginia City about
two o'clock between Woodliff, the
druggist, and O'Rourke, telegraph
operator, in which the latter was
almost instantly killed. The affair
grew from O'Rourke keeping COM
pany with Woodliff's sister.
The Chronicle of last evening
says: At 1:45 o'clock this after
noon Tom Woodliff, Jr., shot Tom
O'Rourke on A street, between
Union and Taylor, near the Wood
lift residence. The shooting was
done with 80 caliber revolver,
and the bullet struck O'Rourke in
the left breast just above the nip
pie. causing death in short time.
Woodliff was soon caught by the
officers and placed in jail He &C
knowledged doing the shooting.
He says he had warned O'Rourke
not to visit the Woodliff residence,
as he had not treated his sister
right. He found O'Rourke coming
from the house, and after a short
alteration shot him.

was arrived at after some wag had

A Husky Pair.

Bryan and Sewall are the best
looking team any party has put in
the field for President and Vic
many year. Both men star
feet in their stockings. Thief
weighs about 200 pounds an
latter 225 pounds. They come from
farming stock, and may well be
classed as true representatives of
the people. They are husky pair
of boys, and ought to make great

Pretty Bold Talk.
coinage

For some reason or other adver-
tisers don't like to call spade
spade. If they have any grievances
against rival, they usually talk
about it in general terms.
But A. Schilling & Co. of San
Francisco are coming right out in
the plainest kind of talk. They say
that the teas most largely consumed
in the United States are adulterated
and falsely colored.
One can't very we'll accuse this
firm of misrepresentation for they
have the highest possible standing
in the trade, and what is more,
their statements reflect not only
upon teas sold by their rivals, but
upon a cheaper tea sold by them
selves.
We guess they will be believed.

Our Next vice President.

Arthur Sewall, the Democratic
nominee for Vice President, is
resident Of Maine. He is 81 years
of age, stands 6 feet in his stockings,
has a wife and two sons and is one
of the most prominent ship builders
and owners of the country. He is
worth about million dollars, and
is classed as shrewd business man;
also having collegiate education.
He was Consul General at Samoa
during the trouble there, and his
independent course there in regard
to looking after American interests
caused his recall by Cleveland the
Fat. When Harrison was elected
he sent Sewall back to the island at
the request of Jas. G. Blaine, who
said he was the best man who could
be selected. He is all right for free
coinage.

WATCH At. LOUIS.
On the Action OF the Two COnven-
tiOns Depends the salvation
OF the Country.

OF the Country.
1t becomes each day more proba-
BILE that the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for President, William
J. Bryan, will be nominated at st.
Louis by both the Silverites and the
Populists, who will hold seperate
conventions there next week. In
that event there but little question
that Bryan will be the next Presi-
pent of the United States. He will
have no opponents save the Prohi-
bition candidate and possible
nominee of the boiling goldbug
Democrats. If Hill and his New
York friends decide on supporting
an independent Democratic can
didate, the election of Bryan will be
made certain since such candidate
will divert and make valueless the
votes of many goldbug Democrats
who might otherwise vote for Nc
Kinley. The Prohibition candi-
dates strength is usually estimated
as detrimental to the Republicans,
and therefore of advantage to the
Democratic ticket.
It will be readily understood,
then, with what interest the eyes of
the politicians and the people turn
towards ST. Louis, awaiting the ver-
dict of the two conventions about
to meet there. Prior to the nomi-
nation of Bryan it was generally
Assumed from the expressions of
prominent Populists that the party
would insist on naming an indie
pendent candidate unless the DEM
ocrats took up Teller. It is certain
that neither Bland nor Boise, then
most prominent in the Democratic
race, could have secured the Popu-
list endorsement. Bryan's nomi-
nation, however, has entirely chang
ed the aspect of affairs. Teller is
a great friend of Bryan, and, it is
said, would decline to accept a
nomination against him, and is
likely to urge his endorsement
Again, Bryan himself has good
standing among the Populists, par
ticularly of his own State, and has
already been publicly endorsed, SO
far as their personal views go, by a
large number of them.
With Mckinley and Bryan as
the only candidates, save the nomi-
nees of the Prohibition party, the
issue of silver against gold will be
clearly defined, and it will unques-
tionably overshadow every other
question which the policy Of either
party may try to make prominent.
