THERE is not much doubt that
Mckinley will receive the nomina-
tion at St. Louis next week as the
presidential candidate of the Repub-
lican party. His close friends de-
clare him to be in favor of the sin
gle gold standard of money, while
few jack Republicans in the States
that are for free coinage of silver,
say he will be friendly to the white
metal But to put all doubts aside
as to where he stands on the money
question the Republicans are going
to stand him on a platform the
money plank of which is to be writ
ten by the man who demonetized
silver, that Benedict Arnold of the
nineteenth century, John Sherman.
If the people of Nevada want any
thing more clear than this TO show
that Mckinley and the Republican
party are for the gold bugs I'VE
would like to know what it is.

The manner in which this coun-
try has allowed the brave patriots
of Cuba to go on and fight for their
independence single handed will
not make historical reading that
the rising generation will read fifty
years hence with any great degree
of pride. A country like the United
States, which has gone through the
process of establishing her liberty
ought to know how to sympathize
with the Cubans, and ought to give
them aid, but the people who popu-
late this country now are not of the
same stock that fought for Ameri-
can independence. They are horde
of money grabbers.

THE new eight-horr law for min
ers that went into effect in Utah on
the 1st inst, is generally being com
piled with. A short suspension
was caused, but in a few days it is
anticipated all the companies will
again be working. The new law is
as follows:
Section l. The period of employ
ment for workingmen in all under
ground mines or workings shall be
eight hours per day, except in cases
of emergency, where life and prop
erty is in imminent danger.
Section g. The period Of employ
ment of workingmen in smelters
and all other institutions for the
reduction or refining of ores or met
ais shall be eight hours per day,
except in case of emergency, where
life and property is in danger.
Section 3. Any person, body cor
porate, agent, manager or employ
er, who shall violate any of the
provisions of sections 1 and of
this act shall be guilty of a mis-
-demeanor.

THE San Francisco Chronicle has
been more or less an advocate of
free coinage for good many years,
but when it sees that the Republi-
can convention is not only not GO
ing to declare for free coinage, but
proposes to adopt the Indiana mon
ely plank, which declares in unmis-
taxable words, eve are opposed to
the free coinage of silver at the
ratio Of Is to l." Mr. De Young
let's go all holds of silver and sides
with the gold bugs in the idea that
the tariff is the main issue of the
campaign. The surrender of the
Chronicle is all the more complete
and farcical when it is known that
it is the paper which has been the
advocate of a party in a State
which but few weeks ago declared
for free coinage at the ratio of Is
to l. If there is one thing more
plain than another in this kaleido-
scopic action, it is that, as we have
remarked before, the Republican
party, as far west as it exists in the
United States, is opposed to free
coinage, and its declarations for
free coinage in States where the
sentiment Of the people is for that
measure, are but mere pretenses to
fool the people.

The Sacramento Bee has again
run afoul of the Courts of California
and got the worst of it so far by
being fined $500 for contempt in
publishing testimony in sensation
al divorce case. The testimony as
published was true, and the Court
officials even refused to allow the
testimony to be read in the Bee
case to establish the fact that the
paper was simply publishing the
news. 1t seems to us that the Courts
of our neighbor State are carrying
things with rather a high hand.
Anything that paper in that Sta te
publishes which is not in line with
q certain gang of manipulators is
classed as libel or case of con-
tempt. The laws are all right, We
guess, but it is the grade of cattle
the people put in Office to admins
ter them, that is taking away the
liberty of the press. The Bee has
appealed its case, and there is not
a paper OH the coast but which
should stand in and see that the
laws are changed, if they are at
fault, and if they are not, they want
to turn down the bench that seats
such arrogant shisters as Judge

THE brokers and bankers, Cox,
Bickford & Co, dealing in Califor-
MIA mining stocks, and among the
leading gold manipulators OF the
country, are sending out circulars
to their patrons stimulating the
sale of gold mining stock on the
ground that gold is increasing in
value while all other values are de-
clining. An extract from the cir
cular is as follows: 80 =
"Gold is constantly appreciating
in value, Notwithstanding its in
creased production, and is opera

the timebeing, are causing pro-

The hope of imparting like

eagerly followed by England in at

If the above is not a cold knock
