THOSE who think that Mckinley

THOSE who think that Mckinley
will do something for silver" are
referred to the appointment of L. ].
Gage as Secretary of the Treasury.
This man Gage is the rankest gold
bug, excepting Sherman, in the
Union. He is in favor of retiring
the green backs and treasury notes,
and goes so far as to say that the sill
yer now in the treasury should be
sold and the country placed on a
sure enough gold basis as this is
understood by gold bugs. Republi-
cans who favor silver can disabuse
their minds of anything being done
for that metal under McKinley's
administration. Even if Mckinley
felt disposed towards bimetallism
he will not be allowed to carry out
any of his own ideas. He must act
as his boss Hanna and other gold
bugs tell him to, and the selection
OF the man Gage for Sec. of Treas
ury demonstrates this fact beyond
a doubt.

srnArr BIN No. 8. Introduced by

vides 'to trace and establish the
lines of Douglas county upon legal
subdivision lines in accordance
with the spirit and intent of the
Statutes of 1861, and to more clear
" define the boundaries of said
county" This bill is nothing more
nor less than the re-opening of the
fight inaugurated in 1889 by the
people of Smith Valley, in Lyon
county, to get out of the county be-
cause they were dissatisfied at not
securing county Offices.
In the first place the bill is mis-
leading, because the boundary line
between Douglas county and Lyon
county is thoroughly established. 1t
is the same line that served the
Assessors all the time that Mason
and Smith Vallie's belonged in Es-
meralda county, and the same line
that has been recognized by the As
SCISSORS of Douglas and Lyon coun-
ties since that territory came into
Lyon county. The line was run a
few years ago by Surveyor Mack
and Lyon and Douglas counties
paid for it and Judge Rising so de-
cided in ordering the payment OF
the bill by Douglas county. 1t is
only necessary for the Assessor Of
Douglas county to assess some prop
erty on our side of the line to find
out p. d. q. where the line is and
whether it is recognized or not.
There is no reason on the face OF
the earth why any change should
be made in this boundary line, ex-
cept that the people of Smith Val
ley do not affiliate politically with
the balance of the people of the
county, and that Douglas county
would be glad to have an addition
of the taxable property of Smith
Valley.
Because a few Republicans of
Smith Valley have failed to get in
to office by aid of the Silver Party
they have been bent on getting out
of the county, and at every session
of the Legislature since 1889 they
have had some kind of q measure
up asking to get out of the county.
While the bill now before the Leg
islature provides for the assuming
by Douglas county of the indebted
ness incurred, it by no means covers
the ground on that score. The peo-
pie of Smith Valley have not been
backward about asking for what
they wanted in the way of roads
and bridges, and setting forth their
heft as taxpayers. And their claims
have been granted, until the roads
and bridges are probably the best,
or as good, as in any section of this
or any other county.
Lyon county's representatives in
the Legislature are opposed to the
steal proposed by Senate Bill No.
8, and SO are nine-tenths OF the
peoples of this county. Petitions
are now in circulation remonstrat-
ing to the passage of the bill, and
will be well filled before tomorrow,
and sent to our representatives.
It is TO be hoped that the mem
bers from other counties will not be
ungracious enough to disregard the
prayer of the people of Lyon coun-
ty at the instigation of few dis
gruntled pot-house politicians in
Smith Valley and would be land
grabbers of Douglas county.
