Again look at our Government We
strive here for the maximum of liberty
and the minimum of restraint upon the
individual. but it would be absolute fool
ishness to assert that the breadth of
our Constitution is all due to the clear
vision and emancipated minds of the
founders of the Republic. Rather let
us acknowledge that the ideas they had
were simply an orderly development
from thoughts that had been stirring
human hearts for ages under all sorts
of diverse conditions: back to Magma
Charta, back to Alfred the Great. back
to Charlemagne, back to Caesar. back
to Homer. back to Moses and even to
prehistoric imaginings and aspirations.
How thrilling to recognize the power
Of thought and our share in 1t. When
first we come to realize that we have
an identity of our own we eagerly seek
out other peoples ideas and take them
to ourselves as part of our mental and
spiritual outfit; but as years go by and
our individuality becomes more decid-
ed, coyly, at first, ideas of our own
force themselves upon us. based upon
other ideas that we have learned. Let
us never close our minds against these
ideas originating within: for so long as
humanity lasts and so long as each hui
man brain differs from every other one
new ideas have a right to life and there
is no reason why your idea and mine
should not have in it prevailing power
However, to know how ideas originate
is to understand all the mysteries of
our minds-and that understanding is
not yet. We can merely say that they
are the evidence of originality in
man; and that as far as the ideas are
new he is a creator. I repeat, how
thrilling TO have share in the world
of ideas and to be welding ideas of our
own with broad and useful purpose.
What we call public opinion-a most
mysterious and fantastic thing-passes
through its vagarieS because of this
operation of ideas. The strange sway
ings of the public mind are explicable
only by understanding how an idea op-
crates from individual to individual
with a power that will not be denied.
The Scriptures tell us that no man
should think more highly of himself
than he ought to think, from which we
may certainly deduce that no man
should think less of himself than he
ought to think; and that he should so
Venerate himself as to associate his
mind only with ideas that have the
benefit and gain of the human race
wrapped up in them

CANDY RUSH AT TIE COLLEGE.

Oh, woman, what will be the next
Surprising thing you do?
You're usurping mans apparel
Will you have his vices, too?
In a hundred ways it pleases
You to cast your sex aside,
And, even on the champing steed
We see you sit astrde.
We hear from various sources
That you've also learned to smoke;
That you drink and that you gamble
And that often you go broke
And now our college maidens-
Z zen to tell it makes us blush
Just to demonstrate their "newnesS,"
Have had 4 candy rush.

The little SOphomoreS;
There We're sounds of bursting corsetS
And of ripping pleats and cores;
There were screams and there was
scratching,
And skirts were torn to shreds,
And there were bloody noses
And a score of aching heads.
And heels were pointed upward
While the fray was at it's hight
And many a dainty maiden
Became a sorry sight.
Oh, let us draw the curtain
Oh, women, women, when
Will you learn that you are sweetest
When you're most unlike the men?

The Living Church" Up. Ed of Chi

up the question whether Unitarians are
entitled to the name of Christians. It
says that if this question is to be de-
cided by the doctrines held by Jesus
himself, as reported in the gospels, then
none would have a better right to the
name than those who hold Unitarian
tenets; but if the matter is to be de-
eided by the doctrines of the apostolic
church and the church fathers ETC.,
then 'Unitarians would have little right

we did not choose to take issue with the
Register upon the question, What
were the doctrines held by Christ in the
gospels? it would be sufficient to say
that certainly He did not call His dis
ciples Christians or say that they are
to assume that name The name does
not occur in the gospels We believe it
was at one time a favorite contention
OF Unltarians that terms ought not to
be used which are not used in the gos-
pels. The Register admits that if the
matter is to be decided by a reference
to the apostolic church the Unitarians
would have little right to the name
Christian. But it appears that it must
be decided by reference to the apostolic
church. The name Christian came in
to existence as name for the members
of the apostolic church To designate
the society which the apostles had
founded, that and nothing else was
the meaning and object of the term.

Just as there are external conditions
favorable to self-fulfillment, in the
same way" says the New York
''Churchman" Up. Ed there are ex
ternal conditions which are favorable
to the promotion of vice The devil
must rejoice in unwholesome poverty
poverty which runs below the line of
the living wage into an atmosphere
that is sitting to human progress and
even to human (as distinguished from
animaD life. Christianity may not
cease to deal with this form of pow
erty purely on the spiritual side but it
cannot hope to be widely effective if
it stop at that. When a ray of light,
due to the influence of an outsider, pen
etrates the gloom of pauperism, the
counteracting and permanent forces of
evil at work put it in the gravest peril
even if they fail to snuff it out. The
pressure that is constant must conquer
that which is spasmodic We do not
hesitate to say that unwholesome pow
erty is encouraged by the existing So
cial order. AS a fixed condition it is
due, so the polite economist says, to
the overcrowding of cities as the direct
result of the economy of machine pro-
duction.' Poverty, like thrift, has
learned the trick of combination in
these latter days; hence it has become
a social evil. When to this state of
affairs are added the intensity that is
born of contrast and the self conscious
ness of an ambitious age, the horrors
at it's disposal are appallingly multi

The First English Duke.

OF the five titles of nobility in Eng
land, the highest in rank and honor is
that of Duke. 1t is the first title of
dignity of the royal family, but not the
highest in antiquity. There is no proof
of its being used in England before it
was introduced by Edward Ill, about
a year before he himself assumed the
title of King of France Edward. the
renowned Black Prince, was created
Duke of Cornwall, and he was the first
Duke in England after William the
Conqueror After this creation the
title of Duke was frequently given,
especially to members of the royal fam

AFrkk THE BATHS.

The following appears in the Silver
State o. Tuesday:
The Silver party members OF the
legislature of this State, Ill caucus
last evening, elected John P. Jones to
succeed himself as U. 5. Senator for
the ensuing six years. AS their will
is law, Nevada will have the distinc-
ton of being represented i'll the
future, rs in the past, by non-resi-
dent in the Senate of the United
States.
The editor of the Silver State has
been bitterly assailed by partisan
friends of Senator Jones because dur
ing the campaign we did not oppose
him, and after the election did. All
we lave to say upon that point is that
for years the silver cause has been
dearer to us than anything else.
When that fight was ON we felt that
it would be unwise to oppose Senator
Jones that to have silver win we
would even submit to being repre-
sented by Californian or New
Yorker, whichever he may be. But
after the election was over, and silver
was temporarily defeated, we felt it
was an oppOrtune time to do some
house cleaning, hence our announce
ment,
That our candidacy met with the
approval OF the people of the State we
have the most positive evidence, but
30 many members were tied up to
Jones one way or another that our
fight and we'll nigh hopeless from the
start, as the obstacles we had to go
against were too great and the time
to overcome them too short.
Our principal object has, however,
been Extraordinarily, the declara.
ton of the principle Nevada for Ne
vadans," which though temporarily
defeated, will yet triumph when re-
ferred back to the people of the State.
Four years ago Nevada broke
away from the old parties and old
methods, and from this time on it will
break away from the old rule of
electing non-residents in the Senate
OF the United States, as "Nevada for
Nevadans" will be made IN issue in
every future election in this State,
and to doubt that the principle will
meet with the seal Of approval of the
people Of Nevada at the ballot box
would be to doubt the honor, man
hood and integrity of our citizens.
We have no fault to find with those
who did not approve Of our course in
opposing Senator Jones, as every
American citizen. has the privilege OF
FREQ thought and free speech,
To the many kind lends of all po-
itical denominations who have in
many ways shown to us their evil
dence Of friendship and support be-
cause Of the principle we contended
for. we can only say our heart is full
Of gratitude and appreciation, and
that, while we have been thrown
aside, the principle Of homo rule will
ever live. We also extend our most
sincere thanks for the many compE-
mentary notices given our candidacy
by the press OF Nevada and other
States.

were purchased for the school fund
during the two years forty $1,000
United States per cent bonds of
1907, the cost of which was $4,000 OF,
and $1,000 state 4 per cent bonds re-.
, deemable at the option of the state.
The state school fund contains bonds,
the face value of which is Sl,247,tO0,
and the cost or market value of which
is 81, 291 500, and s117, pos 26 in cash.
The total amount of cash and bonds
in the school funds is 81, 409,008 26.
This is exclusive of the amount due
the school fund for unpaid balances
on contract lands. ., .. .
The Indebtedness of the state
amounts t. S607,00O, including the
1890, 900 irredeemable bond. The in
terest on the entire debt is paid to
date, and the state does not owe a
dollar. except to its own school fund.
The cash i'll the treasury applicable
to the payment OF the state debt is
Sl3l.749 2G, leaving the actual state
debt S472,253 IA, Of which S38O,O0O is
irredeemable.
The receipts for the year 1895 and
1896 were $4,000 less than the ex-
penditures-- For this deficiency bonds
were issued to the school fund This
excess Of expenditures over receipts
is attributed to the following facts:
First--A deficiency of $21,602 16
for the Midwinter fair, state agri-
cultural society. salaries Of officers
and srndry other claims loft unpaid
by the preceding administration.
Second--An expenditure of S64,-
446 " for buildings and grounds at
the state university, buildings at the
orphans home. at the hospital for
mental diseases, and at the state
prison, and for presses and other ma
terial at the state printing Office.
There has been a marked decrease
in the valuation Of property for tax
able purposes in the last few years, as
compared with former years, as ap-
pears from the assessors reports.
This is clearly shown by the following,
giving the total assessed valuation OF
property for the years 1891 to 1896 in
elusive:
1891. ................ $50, SIC, 438 50
1892. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 81, 3lS,556 SO

1885,. ........... 23,106, l34 90
In my opinion this could be at least
partially RENE died by state board Of
equalization, as it is not to be sup.
posed that the decrease of over So
100000 in the assessable value Of
property in four years means that
there was that much less taxable
property in the state in 1896 than in
1892. The correctness Of this assump-
ton is sustained by the reports of the
assessors of the several counties, which
show an increase of S1,346, 1893 ID in
the assessed value of real estate in
1896, as compared with 1896, and
decrease in the assessed valuo of
personal property Of S1,765, 781 q in
1896 as compared with 1895. It is
apparent that tho small property
holders pay larger proportion OF
