THE hireling gold press of Wall
street is much exercised because
the Senators from the far West are
opposed to the government Of the
United States being in the hands of
the gold gamblers of Wall and Lom-
bard streets, and the organs of
these sharks call the mining states
of the West rotten boroughs and all
sorts of hard names. The frantic
rawlings of these organs of corrupt
ion suggests the inquiry which was
the most beneficial to the credit of
the government, and which did
most to sustain the finances of the
country, the miners of the West or
the gold board of Wall street dur.
ing the late unpleasantness between
the North and the South2 1t should
be rememb ered that while the most
gigantic struggle in history was
going on in the field, Wall street,
which the metropolitan press claims
is the United States, was making
war on the finances of the country
through the gold board, which was
the most infamous gambling hell
ever invented, and was more dan
gerous to the cause Of the Union
than the enemy in the front, and
at the same time the miners of the
West were furnishing gold and sill
yer which maintained the credit of
the government during that crisis
of the nations history.-SiLver

GEN. WEYLER, commander of the

GEN. WEYLER, commander of the
Spanish forces in Cuba, says he
hopes it will not be necessary for
him to use extreme measures
against this country. For his sake
and SPANS we hope 80, too. The
Spaniards do not seem to be pleas
ed with the fact that Congress has
passed a resolution acknowledging
the Cubans as belligerents, and in
Madrid the American flag has been
hauled down, shot al and insulted.
But in the next breath comes an
apology. 1t is reported that Cleve-
land will stave off all action of this
country to assist Cuba in any way
as long as possible, in fact it is said
he has given the Spaniards his word
that nothing shall be done for at
least six months, in hopes that
Spain will by this time have the
Cubans conquered. This country
ought to own Cuba, buy her or take
her, aud annex her to the United
States. The intimation that Spain
will war with Us in regard to the
stand taken by Congress in favor Of
Cuba, is ridiculous. Forty thous-
and Americans could go into Cuba
and in week there would not he a
Spaniard on the island, unless he
was in Jail, and that would end the
matter.

A communication was received
from Esmeralda county requesting
the payment by Lyon to Esmeralda
of $56O.37, a balance claimed to be
due the latter county through an
error in payment of interest on the
bonds, and also some principle. The
legal advisor of the Board made an
explanation in regard to this mat
ter and showed that there was only
the sum of $256.84 due on interest,
and that this was on account of an
error made in computing the semi
annual interest by the Treasurer of
Esmeralda. It was found that Lyon
county's Treasurer holds receipts
in full for all interest due Esmeral-
da and Mr.. Lothrop asked that the
Board postpone the matter until the
next meeting of the Board, in the
meantime he would confer with
other legal authorities about the
matter.
A communication from the Silver
City Hose Co. was received asking
for donation of SIS for fire pur-

This revival of interest in the flag and IN
patriotic instruction has been so general
that people have scarcely noticed IL, and
yet it has already become a tremendous
force. The work has been fathcred 10y the
Grand Army of the Republic. and mother
ed by its auxiliary, the Womans Relief
Corps. Still, 1t recognizes no sectional
lines, 1t has no creed save its motto, 'One
country, one language, one flag" and joins
hands at all times with those who advo-
cate loyal red, white and blue principles.
The result of its work in the various
states has been the raising above the
school houses of the flag during school
hours, both north and south.
In the District OF Columbia the work has
progressed without hindrence. The move
ment to place flags on the school houses
has been taken up with renewed activity
by the committee on patriotic teaching IN
the w. r. c., and now the flag floats from
every one of the eighty-three school houses
In the District. There is TO provision, how
ever for replacing the flags when they are
worn out so a bill was introduced IN Con-
gress by the committee asking for an APP
preparation of 81 900 to purch lse flags for
the schools. The item is in the sundry civil
bill and il is more than probable that 1t
will become law. The flag salute Is used
in nearly all the graded schools. and d re-
newed interest is evidenced in the study
of American history, and of our civil in
situations everywhere.

any gem whose natural color harmonizes
or makes a pleasing contrast to the color
of the glove. Diamonds seem to be the
favorite gems used for this purpose.
The jewels are set in the back of the
glove along the seam and are held in
place by means of a small nut attach
ment. Thus far only a few of the more
advanced women of the ultra fashionable
set have taken to wearing the diamond
ornamented gloves, but the fad Is slowly
but surely spreading, and no man can ten
to what extent it may be carried.
The wearing of gems according to jew,
elers has never been SO widespread and ex-
tensive as at the present time While a
year or two ago it was considered bad
form to wear any but the plainest jewels,
the other extreme will soon be reached,
and jewels will be worn in ways never be-
fore thought of.
Like every other fashion which originates
in Paris, the fad of wearing diamond
backed gloves has crossed the English
channel and few of the more daring
English leaders of fashion have promptly
had jewels set in the backs of their gloves
Following the invariable order of such
things, the fad will reach this country dur
ing the present season.

BULLHEADs AS MOUNTAIN TaoUT.
Cnnnda's Commissioner Talks About
the Dominion's Fisheries.


From the Ottawa Canada Free Press.
"Bullheads are coming to the front" was
the somewhat unexpected announcement
made by Prof Prince in his lecture before
the Royal Society on the resources of Ca
madam fisheries. Prof. Prince is the do
mil:ion commissioner of fisheries. This
bullhead or mud-pout industry, Prof
Prince said, he could not exactly vouch for
but he was told that in the estuaries OF
the great lakes the fish was now being
IL ken in large quantities by methods far
removed from the primitive angling outfit
of the small boy, and. though the white
fish output is estimated at s2,ood,0O0. the
bullhead promises well. He understood
that the bullheads were fixed up and ap-
peared on the tables of American hotels as
"mcuntail trout"
The professor then went on TO tell of
the enormous wealth of the Canadian Ash
cries, which, estimated at S2o.oo1.on0. Of
f1cially, he believed, would reach S3u,Hi0o00
if we take into account the quantity con-
summed by settlers Indians and others Of
which no statistics were available. The
Pacific coast, with it's 10000 miles of coast
line; the Atlantic coast the great lakes,
the smaller lakes-smal only by compari-
son with the great lakes; the st. Lawrence
Mackenzie, Red, Peace, and other rivers:
the Hudson bay, with its yet undiscovered
treasures, We're dealt with by the lecturer
and then he proceeded to tell of the fish
cries branch Of the government, which
aims to develop and protect this ever
growing industry.
In describing the many forms of nets
used in capturing fish Prof. Prince said
that fish have not a great amount of intel
Egence, or they would often get out of the
traps that were made for them. OF the
deep area, the lecturer estimated il
to yield about S1O,oo1,oo0 per anrum. He
gave an interesting account of the cod
halibut, mackerel herring and lobster fish
ing, and remarked that some of these
were being depleted owing to the eXcur-
sioGs Of foreigners with methods of catch
ing that were extremely destructive. Shad
fishing, he anticipated, would soon be a
thing of the past unless proper measures
were taken TO preserve it, and this could
only be done after very great considera-
tiCn, as the shad is now a source of large
income to many fishermen.
Large striped bass, caught in scoop nets
through the ice, realize more per pound
than do salmon. Lake Winnipeg yields
1900 tons of white fish annually.
