the Press Association" took any hand
in the matter at all, but thinks it
very likely that they did 80.
Such evidence would have no weight
in any court in Christendom and yet
this deposed principal Of the Elko
county high school insists that it
bears out his charges. To such
straits is he put to bolster up lying
cause! The fact is that Mr.. Nixon
was not. present at the February
meeting of the Press Association and
did nothing to defeat the measure
whose meritoriUus death gives this
deposed principal 30 much pain.
In order to settle this matter eff
fectually and to show to the people
of Elko county and the State at
large that the editor of the INDEPEN-
DENT knew what he was talking
about when he stated that the Press
Association had nothing whatever to
do with the defeat of that bill, we
have taken the pains to get incontro-
vertible proof Of the correctness of
our position. On the 9th instant we
wrote to the President and Secre-
tary of the Nevada Press Association
asking for plain statement of facts
in regard to the matter at issue be-
tween the INDEPENDENT and this de-
posed principal of the high school.
Il due course of mail the following
replies were received. They speak

Nevada Press Association at its meet
ing in Carson last February, in re-
gard to Senate bill No 50. ], us secre-
tary of the Association will say that
Senate bill No. 80 was not mentioned
at the meeting either directly or indi-
rect1y. 1t may not speak in thunder
ing tones of my legislative inteui-
gence, but the fact is that I never
knew Of the existence of such a bill
as you briefly describe in your letter
and this is the first time I ever heard
Of it. You never mentioned the sub
ject to me and the Nevada Press AS
sociation never had the matter under
consideration. Prof. Snyder is GER
tainly barking up the wrong tree"
as far as the Nevada Press Associa-
ton goes. ......... .
You are at liberty to use this letter
in any way you see fit. .r

The statement of the President and
Secretary OF the Press Association
should be conclusive upon the matter
at issue. Both of these gentlemen
are widely known throughout the
state as men Of truth and veracity,
and we place their statements against
the words of e. @. Snyder in perfect
confidence that the public will believe
them in preference to the rnsupport-
ed rawlings Of tho once principal of
the Elko county high school. They
prove conclusively that the Press Az
sociation had nothing whatever to do
with the defeat Of Senate bill No so
that was intended to give E. G. Sry-
der further lease of power as prin-
cipal Of the county high school.
II the friends Of that bill really
want to know how it's defeat was ac-
complished, they can learn by calling
upon Mr.. McAfee or this scribe. AS
we said before, it's own cussedness,
coupled with the personal efforts OF
Assemblymsn McAfee and this scribe
and the efforts Of their personal
friends, laid the unholy thing in its
little grave. Its friends should not
now disturb its slumbers. Let it's
sleep in peace for there Is no hope of
it's resurrection. 1t 10 dead and eter-
nally damned.
With this statement we submit the
matter at issue to the people in per.
feet confidence that they win have no
trouble in placing the brand Of q
common liar" upon the forehead of
the ex-principal Of the high school.

a BIT or E11sTonY ABOUT CUBA.

Senior Romero. the Mexican Minister
to This country, in contribution to the
July number Of the North American Re-
view, gives historical explanation OF
the manner In which the Spanish erI-
oali colonies secured their Independence
OF Spain, and declares that Cuba might
have been free from Spain long since
but for the action OF the United States.
he asserts THAT after General Bolivar
had accomplished The independence Of
the northern half Of South America. In
1871. he thought that his task would
not be finished until the Spanish We're
driven from Cuba and Porto Rica. since
The possession Of those islands would
give Spain an important foothold on the
continent, from which she could attack
her revolted colonies at any time. Act
hug on this theory, the Governments of
Mexico and Colombia outlined Il plan Of
military operations for the purpose of
accomplishing the independence Of Cuba
When the Government Of the United
States heard Of this scheme, Mr.. Clay,
Secretary Of State or the United states
addressed q letter to The Mexican and
Colombian Ministers In Washington,
requesting that their Governments
should suspend the operation they had
