SILVER BREAK.

There has been another big split in
the Republican party. Six Western
Senators who agreed to stay with the
party pending the settlement of the
silver question by international
agreement. They are now satisfied
that there can be no settlement bv
such Senator Wolcott OF
Colorado will make a speech in the
Senate in January and lead another
split. The Senators who will walk
out of the party along with him
are Carter of Montana, Shroup OF
Idaho, Clark and Warren of Wyom-
ing and Wilson of Washington. This
will give the silver men control OF
the upper house.

p PRESS COMBINE

The newspaper publishers of Ne
vada County have formed an asso-
citation for mutual benefit, protection,
and advancement of interests. 1t is
to be hoped that they will stick to
gether. AS a rule newspaper men
seem to be l~nsanely DESTROYS of cut
ting each others thloats. There is
more business manslaughter to the
square inch III journalism than in

Bee.
The above is true, but there is no
remedy. The Nevada County Assocla-
ton will hold together until some pub
Usher, who thinks more of a dollar
than he does his word, will take ad-
vertising and do job work for almost
nothing: Then the rest will be
obliged to compete with this mans
prices. Away goes the whole COM
bination and the rival publishers
continue to work for nothing. The
DiShwashers Association of SAT-
Francisco combine to keep up decent
wages and there is never a break in
their ranks. But the dishwasherS Of
San Francisco have more financial
brains than the average newspaper
associations. A press combine IS
like a chain only as strong as its
weakest link.

The Reno Gazette has run up
against the Sacramento Bee in a dis
cussion on the silver question. All
these years the Gazette has been
fighting silver on the ground that the
reconciliation Of the white metal will
compel the Government to buy silver
al a fixed price. The Bee points cut
the fact to Gazette that the Govern
ment is not compelled to buy an ounce
only coin it. Everybody, almost, in
Nevada has known this for several
years, except probably the editor OF
the CARTE, who still keeps arguing

bill as new matter by the Conference
Committee by which means it was
adopted by both Houses Of CONGRESS
without being noticed by any Of the
members except those engaged in the
scheme. Senator Chandler points out
that the Conference Committee went
beyond its powers when it inserted
this important amendment into a
clause of the law, but it is the re, never
theless, and it cannot De eliminated
except Congress is convened in special
session to amend the act.
Mr.. Chandler says that Senator
Cannon in open session OF the Senate
asked whether the Conference Com
mittte intnuded to do Anything bat
settle the differences between the two
bouses and put no new matter in the
bill, and Senator Allison replied en-
phaticAlly that of course the commit
tee did not.
Commenting on this the Journal
says:
1t appears that the schemers in
Congress ale using the same tactics
that they did in 1873. Then Senator
Sherman, who had charge OF the mint
bill, in reply to a question by Senator
Stewart, said the b5l did NOT change
the coinage laws, but related fXc}n-
sively to mint matters. President
Grant, who approved the tlll, did not
know that it d~emonetiZed silver, yet
when the act appeared in the statutes
the little joker a there and the
ulluls NtlS CiOSSI against SlNEi' ANU
n OF the money metals Of the Con-
stitution was stricken down in the
house Of its friends. All efforts to test
the constitutionality OF that act 10 the
Supreme Court have failed. A bar of
silver Of the requisite weight and
tineness was presented by Dsnver men
at the Philadelphia mint for coinage.
The superintendent Of the mint in &C
cordance with the Instructions Of
Charlie Foster, then Secretary of the
Treasury, refused to coin the silver.
Proceedings were commenced in the
Supreme Court in the District OF
Columbia and Mr.. Foster was cited to
appear and show cause why be id
not order the bullion coined. That
was near the close OF President Har-
rison's administration and Secretary
Foster resigned d her than appear in

1t has been asserted by prominent
lawyers that the act of 1873 excluding
silver from coinage at the mlnts is
unconstitutional and that it is not in

Public Laundries for New York

The question of erecting public laun-
cries where any woman may go and do
the washing for her family by the pay
ment of few cents, is now agitating the
minds Of the Citizens union Of New York
The same subject was broached last year
by the Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor, but without def
mite results. This plan Of having public
laundries where the admission fee Sc
cures the use Of tubs, driers and all the
conveniences with which the place is
supplied, is by no means impracticable,
as the scheme is in full and satisfactory
operation in many large European cities.
At st. Marylebone, London public bath
and a public laundry under the same
roof were opened last year by the Duke
and Duchess of York. The laundry is
divided into a washhouse, drying, iron
ing and margling rooms. The washhouse
is dividaG into seventyfour compart-
ments in each of which are two tubs with
hot and cold water, scrubbng boards,
pals, etc, with four steam wringing ma
chimes under the charge of special off,
Ger. The drying room is heated by fiues
from two large coke furnaces, and is
furnished with seventy-four separate
drying horses. Two steam mangles, a
large ironing table, two gas stoves for
heating irons, and two radial drying
horses, make the ironing room complete
in its appointments. The whole place is
ventilated with large air exhaust fans,
and lighted by lantern roof.

A GREAT MISTAKE

Mr.. Debs made great mistake in CIV
ing utterance to such incendiary, anar-
chistic sentiments as those voiced in his
speech before the labor convention at
ST. Louis last Monday.
The American workingman labors un-
der many and grievous wrongs, but he
does not favor anarchy, riot and bloodshed
as a means of righting those wrongs
He has at his command means Just as
powerful just as effective and a great
deal more compatible with the true
American spirit, than the overthrow by
violence of our republican institutions,
and he prefers the triumphs of peace 10
the triumphs of anarchy.
1t is especially unfortunate that Mr..
Debs should have made his incendiary
speech Just at this critical time. The
strike Of the coal miners is approach
ing its crucial period. The strikers have
made splendid record UP to the pres
ent time by their peaceful methods and
the absence of violence and destruction
Of property. In this way they have de-

SPRING STREET REPAIRS

While the urgent necessity for repair
Ing the paving on Spring street must be
apparent to everyone possessed Of the
sense of sight, it is possible that some
misunderstanding has arisen with re-
gard to the expense attached, in connec-
tion with other improvements.
Street Superintendent Drain is quoted
as saying that many property owners
who are opposed to putting a new sewer
in the street at the present time have
been led to believe that both the sewer
and the paving are ircludede in one ordi-
nance, and that a protest against the
sewer must of necessity include a pro-
test against the paving. This is not the
case. The Immediate question is purely
one of repairs The sewer question and
the matter Of newly paving the street
must come up eventually, Of course.
But what is wanted now is to get the
street in passable condition.
Mr.. Drain estimates that the cost Of
the necessary repairs on Spring street
and that the maximum cost VIII not ex-
ceed $1.70 per foot of lineal frontage.
He thinks the cost will be considerably
less than the maximum figure.
Surely the expense, at this rate. can
not be burdensome to the owners Of
business property on Spring street, while
the benefits to be derived will far out
weigh the cost. The paving on Spring
street, already in a disgraceful and
dangerous condition, is rapidly going to
pieces. The superintendent ventures
the opinion that IL the repairs are de-
layed six months more the street will be
almost impossible. And in six months
the tourist season will be at its height.
1t is to be hoped that the property
owners on Spring street, understanding
the circumstances and knowing, as they
must, the urgent Importance Of the i'm
provement, will interpose no further OBJ
lection to the projected repairs.

He was once more beaten and driven

Another interesting feature brought
out is that the great majority OF the
pacificos are really peaceful. They have
NO interest in the rebellion, and will
not fight under any circumstances. The
Cuban peasantry are all either negroes
or of pure Spanish descent, enfeebleGl by
generations Of life in a soft, easy, tropical
climate.
Here is startling assertion:
The truth is the war was not started
by Cubans, but by foreigners-Central
and South Americans and naturalized
citizens of the United States. The for

fall to their share If they could control

ports to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The thrilling combats narrated with

1T is war where the invading army

bushwhacking army Of from 1900 to
40, 900, yet puts more than two-thirds OF
its numbers behind stone walls in forts

fortifications. A war where, for every
insurgent killed in fight, two Spaniards

THE PRINCIPLE HOLDS

Thomas Carlyle pictures person of
narrow vision and shallow intellect, who,
seeing the iron hand of tyranny laid on
some reformer, the advocate of some
great and unchanging principle, ex-
claims: "Your reformer is dead. Your
principle dies with him." In Carlyle's
rather blunt way of putting the thing he
says in substance, if your fool were to
stand on the banks Of some great river
and see chip in an eddy, he would
shout: "Behold, your current runs up
hill" But in spite Of the fool and his
eddy, the river will flow on and reach
the sea- The eternal law is stronger
than any FOOLS eddy.
Just such is the position the single gold
standard people occupy with regard to
silver. The eternal principle has trou-
bled their souls for a score of years
Eminent students Of political economy
such as Mr.. Sauerbeck and Mr.. Soe.-
beer in Germany; Mr.. Cherunci in
France, and Professor Andrews in our
own country, have set forth this eternal
principle so clearly that the fallacies OF
the monometallists have been shattered
to atoms every time they have clashed
with the unchanging principle OF truth.
Mulhall has taken 100 products of hu-
man labor and has shown that under
universal bimetallism their values had
been stable for scores of years under
normal conditions, and that they fluctu-
ated only under the influence of tempo
rary causes, to resume their proper place
when these transitory causes were re-
moved and the general law comes into
play. These tables show that whatever
fluctuations In comparative values have
taken place have in almost all cases
been between gold and the other prod
ucts Of human labor. Silver has been
much more stable in its relative value to
the other commodities than the yellow
metal. Going forward in the same line
Of reasoning it has been proved beyond
controversy that as the greed OF the
rich has been BILE to divorce the metals
and drive silver from it's rightful place
thus reducing the primary money of the
world by one half, gold has steadily
risen in value until it now will purchase
two to two and half times as much of
all the other products of human labor,
while il measured by silver there has
been very little disturbance in the rela-
tive values of all the commodities dealt
in by man.
When this disastrous warfare on the
interests of the masses was completely
successful in the passage of the new
coinage law of the United States III
1873 an ounce of silver was worth one
sixteenth Of an ounce of gold the word

wheat was worth s1.25; a pound of cot

modities in the list were worth about

generations. From that moment, the
