THE papers say that prices have
raised on all home products in Mexico.
This is simply proof of prosperity, just
the same as a rise in the prices Of home
products in this country is proof of
prosperity. 1t does not go to prove that
silver has deprecated in that country at
all.
"I shall take my family back to Mex
leo next month, as the heavy exchange
on money necessitates too great sacri-
flee to live here, and there are hundreds
of families from Mexico now living in
this country who are all going back
intended to buy some machinery here
and many other articles 1 need in my
business in Mexico, but owing to the
heavy exchange on money I shall be
obliged to purchase my supplies in Mex
leo, where 1 can get everything I need
much cheaper.
"The merchants and manufacturers of
this country are now reaching out for
trade with Mexico, but trade from this
country to Mexico is almost impossible
under existing conditions, while trade
from Mexico to this country is stimulat-
ed by every rise on exchange. Mexico
has always been a bimetallic country,
but has been virtually driven to silver
basis by this great rise in the price of
gold, under which system she has been
more prosperous than ever before.
Mexico is also a great gold producing
country. The states of Sonora and
Sinaloa especially are full of gold mines
and gold placers, and there are many fine
locations for hydraulic washing which
only await the capital, experience and
energy of the American miners to de-
velop. AS large bonanzas as were ever
discovered in California, Klondyke or
any other place are there, and in coun-
try where the miner can prospect and
work the year round without freezing or
starving; and I predict that before the
SHOWS of Klondyke are melted the tide of
gold seekers will be turned to the more
congenial cline of Mexico"

Kid Mccoy Middle Weight Cham
pion of the World.

Norman Selby, of Indiana, known as
Kid Mccoy, met Dan Creedon, the New
Zealand middle weight, last Friday
night before the Puritan Athletic Club
of Long Island and after 10 lively
rounds made Creedon throw up the
sponge. The American showed super
Tor generalship all through the battle
and in the fifteenth landed an uppercut
with the left on Creedon's face and a
hook with the right on his jaw so forci-
bly, that the latter went to sleep in his
corner and was counted out.
Mccoy challenged Fitzsimmons the
day before the fight but was refused.
Fitzsimmons declares emphatically
that he has left the ring for good and
will pay no attention to challenges from
any one in the future. This leaves
the 'Kid" the u~ndisputed middle
weight champion of the world.

Secretary Cages Idea of cur-
Pency Reform.

The mask has been thrown aside.
The farce which has been played by
the administration with England has
given place to a struggle which will
sOon decide whether the American
people shall be free, or i~rredeemably
bound by the bonds of the gold STAN
dard. The bill that has precipitated
the contest was introduced in the House
last Thursday by Chairman Walker OF
the Banking and Currency Committee
almos. verbatim as it wa submitted to
tina. body by Secretary Gage, but the
debate will be postponed until after the
holiday recess. There is no under
h~andedness or duplicity about Secre-
tary Gage. In explaining the objects
of the bill to the Committee, he clearly
states that the first object in mind is
ito commit the country thoroughly to
the gold standard" To do this no bill
could have been more cleverly framed.
1t provides that all of the outstand-
ing $847, 000, 900 of bonds of the
United states, payable now in either
silver or gold, shall be converted into
bonds payable in gold alone. But worse
than that, it further provides for the
retirement of the greenbacks which
may be considered as the non-interest
bearing debt of the Government, by
substituting for them gold bonds bear
ing q per cent interest. And last and
worst of all, it is proposed to retire in
like manner, the silver certificates and
Treasury notes of 1890, for whose re-
demption there is an abundance of sill
yer being held in the Treasury accord
ing to the law under which they we're
issued. While the day of reckoning
when these bonds must be paid is in
definitely postponed, the addition of
81, 500, 600, 900 to the gold Indebtedness
of the country would only complete
the bondage oil the people to the money
kings of England, who own the gold
and a dictate the price at which we
can buy il.
But it is needless to enumerate
ali of the pernicious features of the
law. The silver men in Congress
are fully awake to the situation and,
thank God, there are enough of them
in the Senate, if not in the House, to
prevent this bill, or any like it, from
becoming a law.

CARSON CITY WILL STILL KEEP
HER MINT.
Newlands Wins a Fight on the
Floor Of the House by a
Close Vote.

WASHINGTON, December 17.-Con-
gresham Newlands conducted a vigor-
Gus and successful fight on the floor Of
the House to-day, raising the appro-
priation for the Carson Mint from $l5.-
900 to S39, 900, and its rank from an
assay office, which status the Appro-
priations Committee had given it, to a
mint. Newlands moved an amendment
to the legislative appropriation bill,
raising the appropriation for the Car
son Mint. The amendment met vigor-
Gus opposition, led by Bingham of
Pennsylvania.
Newlands spoke fifteen minutes and
called the attention of the House to the
fact that of the 81, 800, 600 of gold and
silver produced in America, Nevada
had produced one-fourth. He also call
ed attention to the fact that to-day
over $40, 600, 600 of bullion lies in the
Philadelphia Mint, most of which came
from Nevada. He showed that the
Carson Mint had coined scarcely one
tenth of the gold and silver product
and that separated from California by
natural limitations, Nevada was the
center of a great mineral-producing
section which included Montana, Idaho,
Utah, Colorado and Arizona.
Mr.. Newlands was assisted by Shat
froth of Colorado, Dockery of Missouri
and Cox of Tennessee. The resiring
vote was 81 noes, 81 ayes. He imme-
diately demanded t~ellers, which result
ed in the passage of his amendment by
a vote of SO for and rs against it. The
amendment re~-establishes the Mint and
carries 500, 900 appropriation.

Effect Of That Lynchine.

The Carson News says that one of the
effects of that lynching in Genoa the
other day has already made itself
known.
Sometime ago a gentleman came to
Carson and was here but a short time
before he became satisfied that Nevada
offered exceptional advantages for the
investment of capital. He wrote to a
New York syndicate with which he was
in correspondence and upon his urgent
request they finally concluded to send
an expert out here to see what offered
itself in the way of investment.
This man had reached Chicago when
he received a telegram from his people
telling him to return, and later in a letter
to the Carson gentleman they explained
their sudden change of heart by saying
that thev had no desire to W prop
erty in a State where mob law held
sway and where the law was not su-
preme.

Jas. H. Riley, an old resident of Eu-
reka, was shot and killed in a barroom
scuffie at Delamar, Idaho, on Novem-
Der Is. He was only a spectator and
the shooting was accidental.
Postmaster Clarke is very anxious to

Mary Greene, a former resident of Eu-
reka. Information with regard to any
of her relatives or friends will also be
accepted.

out the State, and the showing of COM
parative figures in the various counties

last election and this years poll taxes,
Eureka presents the following: Total

His Life Staked on a Ride.

One of the most singular wagers aver
heard of has been proposed for a horse
race in Cassia county, Idaho, says the
Delamar Nugget. ''Diamondfiefd Jack
was convicted of numbering some sheep
herders about two years ago and q mo-
ton for a new trial has been made.
The result of the motion hinges on the
possibility of the defendant having
made a certain ride in a certain length
of time, the defence claiming that it
could not have been done, although
n of the witnesses for the prosecution
claims to have repeated it. Now the
defense has proposed that the prosecu-
ton may select horses and riders and
make the ride at the expense of the de-
Tense. If the ride is made, the defense
loses its chance for getting a new trial.
1t will mean, if the offer is accepted, a
ride to put a mans neck in the halter.

INSULT TO NEVADA AND HER
REPRESENTATIVE.

To the Associated Press account of
the Genoa lynching recently printed in
a Michigan paper which found its way
to our desk, was prefixed the follow
ing heading: ''Lynched Him Naked.
Deed of Savagery done in the State
Represented by Senator Stewart"
That this crime was most atrocious
and a disgrace to the State we do not
deny. Our W State Press has been
outspoken in its denunciation. But
why was it necessary for Eastern pa
pers to couple the name of our Senator
with an act for which he was in no wise
responsible and no doubt deplores as
heartily as all law-abiding citizens must.
1t is true that Senator Stewart is some
what belligerent and sensational in his
utterances and we do not approve of
all hat he says and does, but it is hard
for us to appreciate the hatred and
prejudice with which he is regarded by
the Gold -bug press of the East for his
long-consistent fight for silver. To
their disordered i~maginations, he is
little better than an anarchist and nat
urally they cannot think much better

Congress, and sc. when a band of law

gress. The report contains the Eng

growth of the system is remarkable in
spite of the fact that the rate of in
terest is but q per cent and the invest

eminent securities. There were 6, 453, :
597 depositors in the Great Britain pos

and 90 per cent of these belonged to
that class whose deposits aggregated

A Horse on the Mule.

The ElkO Argonaut says that a very
strange and wonderful freak of nature
can be seen at the livery stable of Geo.
Mcintosh of Carlin. 1t is a mule with
a colt of horse species. 1t is just like
any other colt, except that it has on
both sides OF it's head near the ear a
bunch of hair which is of blush color.
There can be no doubt as to the mule
being the mother of the colt, as she has
raised it and shows more shan ordinary
%lttention and love for her offsrriag.
The mule was running with two st}l-
Hons owucd by DR.. Wilson. w h.
never heard of such a case before, a4a
n Leo. Mcintosh will start out vi h
Ohe mule and her progeny he will make
his fortune.
