vs.. y. n. wheeler &c aI.-Synopsis
of n Decision of the supreme
Court.
In 1895 the Wheeler Bros. owned and
were grazing 1000 sheep in EIko county.
At the same time they were lessees Of
1850 acres Of land; they had contracted
to purchase 400 acres from the State
and were the owners OF l60 acres OF the
public lands Of the United States by
possessory title. The Sheriff of Elko
county demanded o license from the
Wheelers Of five cents o hesd-s350-
under the Sheep law passed at the last
session OF the Legislature. and upon q
refusal on their part to pay this suit was
commenced. The case was tried by
Judge Cheney at Elko without q jury.
The decision Of the Court was in favor Of
the Wheelers. The Court held that the
~lessees OF the land we're the ''owners and
holders" Of land in the contemplation of
the Sheep law, and were entitled to ex-
emption from the payment Of the license
tax on two sheep for each acre Of land
leased; that parties who had contracted
with the State to purchase land and par.
ties holding unsurveyed public lands Of
the United States were also, in contem-
plstion Of the law, "owners and holders
Of the land and entitled to the same ex-
emption." The State appealed. In de-
Gliding the case upon appeal the Supreme
Court uses the following language:
1.-THE constitutionslity Of the Act under
which this action is brought has been
quite ably argued before us. but as in the
view we take the case can be disposed Of
without deciding that point we do not
consider It," The constitutionality Of the
law, therefore, remains undecided.
The Supreme Court. in q WE'LL consid-
cred and able opinion. sustains the de-
cision of Judge Cheney, that lessees Of
land and parties who have contracted
with the State to purchase lands or who
hold unsurveyed public lands by posses
sorry title, are ''owners and holders" Of
land in contemplation Of the law and
entitled to exemption from the payment
Of the license tax on two sheep for each
acre of land leased or for which they
have contracted or hold by property
title.

THE MELANCHOLY DAYS.


The melancholy days has come
Who said they was? faint so;
Fer everywhere
There's somethin' fair,
And balmy breezes blow.
Is melancholy days the kind
When gold and crimson trees
Set softly down
An autumn crown
On every passin' breeze?
Is melancholy days the kind
That hazes into night?
When punkin pies
Looks to the skies
In open-faced delight?
Air them the melancholy rays
When spare-ribs, crisp and brown.
Jist strike you where
Yore feelins air,
And fit you like crown?
Who says they're melancholy days
When elders gettin hard;
And you kin tell
Jist by the smell
Thems doughnuts in the lard?
What's melancholy in the days
When mince pies, nice and hot,
And juicy, too,
Air begin you
To eat UNI on the spot?
Is these the melancholy days
When heaven comes here below?

0 CATECHISM.

@. Who were the Southern Demo-
cratic leaders of the free silver faction
of the late Chicago convention?
A. With but few exceptions they
were the wire pulling leaders that plan
ned the secession rebellion of 1861.
@. Who were their associate North
ern Democratic leaders at Chicagop
A. That class of Northern Demo.
Gratis who we're known as Copperheads
in 1875.
@. Who are the Southern Democrats
who oppose the Chicago Altgeld. Till
mar platform?
A. They are generally Democrats
who were old line Wings.
@ Who are the Northern Democrats
who now oppose the Chicago platform?
A. They are those who were known
as war Democrats in 1875.
Q. Then, how much difference is
there, now, between the advocates of
rebellion in 1851 and those who now
support the Chicago PLATFORM
A. Not much. In fact, only this:
To the forces that planned the rebel.
lion of 1861 are a faction of wal Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in the silver
States, who, for the hope Of personal
pecuniary gain, in the desired increase
of the price of silver bullion would be
willing to see the Government dishon-
ored and the best interests of the peo.
pie prostrated and ruined.
@. Why was the silver coinage
question made a pretext for capturing
and perverting the. Chicago conyen-
ton?
A. 1t was this: The Southern seces
sion Democratic leaders, Isham j. Har.
ris and his associates, saw and knew
that by NAL administration the Demo
cratic party had lost all chance of of.
fetal power for years to come; and
they believed, the only chance was, &C
to change what they call Democracy al
to embrace Populism, Socialism and
Anarchism, and with these elements
work up a revolution and rebellion.

WHO Is BENEFITED BY IS TO II

The fallacy that the amount of money
in circulation makes money easy or
difficult to obtain has a plausible look
about it. Many people actually believe
it; but examine it, and its unsoundness
at C appears. l own a house and a
lot worth say $1,000, or one hundred
acres of land worth two thousand dol
lars; if dollars be plentiful as leaves, l
can only sell my house and lot to some
body who wants a house and lot or
lands, and, also, provided l am willing
to take leaves for them. 1t is the de-
mand and the willingness to sell, that
makes q price, not the amount of dol
lars in circulation.
How do dollars get abroadY Are they
given away-presented by the govern.
ment to each citizen as a free gift?
There is only one honest way to get
money-to work for it. The Govern
ment never presents anybody with free
gifts of gold, silver or greenbacks. 1t
employs men and women to do its
work; it has more than a hundred
thousand officeholders, but it only pre-
sents them with the salary attached to
the office they hold. Each citizen can
not be an office holder, because there
are not offices enough to go round.
Dollars for the common people are the
result of labor, and cheap dollars make
cheap labor-so cheap that most people
prefer to keep the labor and not the
cheap dollars.
