Some Common Law that Prevails Ia
the Year 1896.

II We go back to the beginning of
legal thought We find that the princi-
Piles of our common law were brought
by the Roman Conquerers into Eng
land. and by the English settlers into
America. This Common Law Is the
law OF the United States III the alb
sence Of positive statutes, except in
Louisiana. What is this Common
Law? 1t is n mixture of old customs
and unwritten traditions blended with
ecclesiastical, and civil law. The
outgrowth Of past social conditions.
The advancing spirit OF freedom
and equality so powerful in this coun-
try has forced legislation in the =
al States from time to time to obliter-
ate many of the worst features OF this
ancient law which Lord Coke calls
@the perfection OF reason and substi-
tute by statute, laws more III accord
with the progress OF the age.
In the States where womcr are the
political peers Of men the laws are
nearer equal, and in the States where
the friends OF woman's cnfranchise-
ment have kept up nm agitation we
note amendments toward equality.
by marriage the legal existence of
the woman is merged i'll that OF her
husnand.- Consequently married
wo.len have suffered most under the
Common Law. Many changes to
ameliorats the condition OF married
women have been made, but are
needed. Toiling wife, do you know
that the joint earnings of yourself and
husband, belong to your husband: III
You die before him he has everything,
while il he fails to make Il will, you
at his death are entitled to one-third
of his, and yonr own joint personality
absolutely and the income OF one
third of the real estate for life. The
rest belongs to the children. Iftherc
are 10 children. the collateral heirs
have Il better hold upon the estate
than you rs "a widow and you receive
onc-halt of the personality absolutely
and the use Uf one half Of the real cs-
tate including the cemetery lot for
life only.
Young women do you know that a
married m is the properly of her
husband? This perfection of reason"
says the husband being bound to pro-
vide for his wife the nccessarics OF
life and being responsible for -hcr
morals and the good order OF the
household may choose her associates.
separate her from her relatives. re-
strain her religious personal freedom.
compel her to comply with his de-
mands, correct her faults by mild
means etc. etc.
This is in respect of the terms Of
the marriage contract and the iniirm-
ity of the sew
1t is the common form il "a woman
is hurt by an accident and sues for
damages, for her husband also to sue
for the loss Of her services.

Much like paradise. The valley OF CASH
mere in northern India and OF Quito
in Ecquador possess climates which
are almost perfect, but they suffer the
disadvantage of a great distance from

without the danger of degeneration
which is the penalty of more luxurious

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Tho Senate
has taken up the Butler antI-bond
resolution by Il vote OF 81 to 20.
There was IA noticeable increase in
the attendance to-day i'll anticipation
OF a renewal Of the exciting debate
Of yesterday. Butler renewed his
motion to take up the bill prohibit
ing the issue OF interest bearing
bonds. After some sparrIng, Hill
interposed the objection that this
was too important Il question to he
considered without a quorum. This
was the first evidence OF Il renewal Of
the obstruction. \ quorum being
found quickly. the motion was adopt
ed--yeas 81, nays 30. Hill began Il
speech in opposition to the Butler
bill. He spoke calmly ut first gradu-
ally warming up III emphasis and
feeling.
1.-The alleged crime of '73 will he as
nothing said Hill, -to the crime
which will be perpetratcd il this bill
becomes a law. 1t is u bold PROPOSE
ton to repeal the Resumption Act.
to repeal the only law which exists
for the redemption OF the currency of
the country, by declaring that. for no
purpose whatever, shall money be
raised on bonds. This measure is in
effect a repeal OF the Act OF 1875. 1t
is n startling proposition. 1t will
simply nut i'll peril the finances OF the
country" The Senator spoke deris-
lively OF this as a self-confessed Popu-
list measure.
1t might pass this body, he said.
but no Senator believed that il could
pass the House or receive the an
prevail OF tho President. What he
most regretted. he said. was that he
must differ with close friends on the
question OF maintaining our integrity
on the redemption OF the paper mon
cy Of the country. The present tariff
law confessedly did not yield suni-
cient to meet the expenses Of the Gov
crnmcnt. In the face Of this fact, vast
appropriations were being made. How
then, asked Hill, can you expect to
maintain the fund for the redemption
of the outstanding paper money OF
the country?
The bond debate in tho Senate
took on a decided political aspect.
Tho most interesting feature was the
declaration by George that il the Re.
publicans would agree on IL fair non.
partisan measure he would vote for
it, oven including n duty on wool and
lumber, u tax on beer and higher to.
hacco taxes. Dubois called attention
to the fact that all five Republican
boiling Senators had been endorsed
and announced that silver would
have to he recognized in u tariff
bill.

what Will the Silver Convention do
for EIko CouutyP

When the State OF Nexada cut loose
ITS letters and decided to abandon the
old dominant parties, the first people
who responded to the call were the
citizens OF Elko county. There was
no installing it's meaning. Local
leagues were Immediately formed. we
banded together in one common cause
aud finally the county organization
was consunmated. Since that time
We have answered every tap OF the
bell, responded to each touch Of the
button. We have rendered good,
honest service. Our stewardship to
he new party is recorded; it is open
for the minutest inspection; we are
proud Of it. Tho great majority were
loyal; we pulled of u coats and
entered every contest with Il zeal and
fervor that only comes to those who
appreciate that the course is IN hon
est one. We have delivered the goods
and have asked for no personal re-
ward for faithful services.
The political hum is going through
the length and breadth OF onr land.
Conventions are being held Ill the
Eastern, Middle and Southern States
The time is approaching for the West
to fall in line. Nevada will be called
upon to make her showing at the Ma
tional Convention and submit nm ag.
gregation OF names for the approval
Of her citizens. Remember. gentle
men. this time We ought to be recog-
nized, il only for courtesy. II would
not do for us to say that we will de-
mand recognition, it wonld indicate
obtrusion and bad diplomacy. We
will let the time and place present it
self for that. We, in an ingenious
manner and rural simplicity, will
take courage to say that soule kind
nesses from your just and broad
views should mt least fall into our
laps Mt this convention without even
an appeal or u struggle from us,
We have some good timber, sterling
qualities and jealous to still do you
good. What will the Silver Conyen-
ton do for Elko county?

simply Astonishing.

Tho historian, John Clark Rid
path, in an article in the January
Arena makes the following startling
statement. iIc says:
"Dy the close OF the year 1896, tho
people will have paid upon the public
debt in interest alone, s2,G3j, GOO, 900,
and upon the principal, 81, zoe, 000. 900
making tho enormous aggregate OF
si.3jj,uOhO00. This leaves us still
wing about 81 ,237 800 OO Including
J. cmium on bonds. Wo will have
paid ut tho end OF 1896, moro than
thrcc-ilfths Of tho entire debt, (bcsides
tho fabulous sum in interest,) aud yet
the less than two-litths remaining will
be worth moro to tho holders than tho
entire debt was on tho lst OF March
1906
Mr.. Ridpath adds further:
"For thirty years tho American pen
pie have been pouring into that hor.
rid maelstrom tho volume OF thor re.
eOiircea. They have paid on Their
debt, or ut least thoy have puid, al
this long period such aprodigious sum
That arithmetic can hardly express it
AMI yet il is the truth OF tho living
God that at the close OF tho year 1896
tho national debt OF tho United States
in it's bonded form, will purchase Ms
its equivalent in value, as much OF
tho average OF tho twenty-five OF tho

market, including real estate and la.

BROKEN WIRE.
How the Telegraph Operator Tells Where
the ISFcak Is Located.

~
the Break Is Located.
Perhaps the greatest of all mysteries,
TO the uninitiatcd, about tclegraphy is
the fact that when a wire is broken or
damaged the operator, sitting in his
office, can tell exactly where the acct
dent has occurred.
The cX, luuation. however, is very
simple. II requires force TO SEND cleo
tricity through IA wire, just us il does TO
pump water through Il hose. The
longer the wi-e is the greater is the
force required. This force is mca"-
ured; but. instead OF calling il pounds,
rs in ia" measuring the pressure in a
boiler. electricians call the units of cleo
trical force "ohms."
Suppose Il wire between two Offices is
100 miles long. and that, on "a stormy
night, II gets Broken somewhere. The
tclcgruphiSt knows hat when the wire
was sound il takes just 1000 ohms to
send Il current through, or II ohm8 per
mile. lie now finds that lie can send q
current with only 700 ohms. lie di-
vidcs zoo by II, and finds that the break
in the wire is 30 miles from his end.
When the wire is under the sea a GU
rious thing happens. The electricity
encompasses the sea salt, and n new salt
is formed ON the broken ends OF the
wire; and until that is cleared away by
what is called a zinc current, acting for
ten or twelve hours, no measurement
can be made.

THE HORSE.

There are several different kinds Of
horses. First comes the work horses
which are the lro>t useful tn man
They are used for farming and drawing
heavy loads in cities.
Next comes the saddle horse which
is used for riding after stock and for or
binary riding purposes.
Then we have the much abused little
cayuseS which are not considered good
for anything but To eat up the grass
from the cattle. The cayu.cs are terri
bic little hrutes To buck. Some of the
COW boys think that ii l. fun To ride
Them They l>ill get on u saddle horse
and go out and rum Il band of these
,avtI,e, into a corral. They ride in
ami throw "A lasSo outo one of thcm'
then lead him out and put Il saddle on
him. He -ta,.d~ during the operation
with his head between his front legs,
frightened nearly to death, and with Il
hump in his back like Il rainbow. one
of the cowboys then gets into the sad
die, but he i stubborn and won't 90.
The cowboy uses his spurs. Then the
cuyu,c goes, but instead of going
straight he goes up and down. If the
COWBOY is "A good rider he won't get
thrown of, but if he is net Il good rider
he "chokeS the saddle horn, aS the
cowboys style it; but some times he
gets thrown amy way.
When the rayuse throws his rider he
runs away. Sometimes the saddle
comes loose and then he usually breaks
it up.
The cowboys say that when you
ride Il hucliny horse and see you are
going to get thrown, yon want to be
scared quite badly, and then it won't
hurt You, but if you are not frightened
it is apt to shake you upa little too
much, and perhaps break an arm or
leg. This kind of fun is dangerous,
but it suits some classes of men and
boys that are reckless enough to risk
their lives in -uch sport. In the danger
risked lies the fun and it gives them An
opportunity to display their nerve.
