PAY UP.

The first of the year is good
time to square up accounts. There
are great many small amounts
due the TIMES, which in the aggre-
gate amount to considerable sum.
We have been very backward in
sending out bills, taking into con-
sideration the hard times, but we
cannot wait forever, and therefore
desire that all persons knowing
themselves to be indebted to the
TIMES call and settle their indebted
ness. If you find it inconvenient
to pay all you owe, a partial pay

DUPLICrTY EXPOSED.

The pretense and sham of Nc
Kinley's official attitude towards
bimetallism were uncovered in the
U. S. Senate last week when Sena-
tor Aliens resolution for a report
from the Wolcott Commission was
called mp and consideration was
postponed until January 18th.
Mr.. Wolcott stated that no re-
port had been prepared, and added
that he "was not aware that a re-
port would be made"
Senator Aliens resolution is per.
fectly proper, and in entire accord
with the Senate's prerogatives. Mr..
McKinley's rowing commission to
Europe has already cost the people
of the United States 100000. The
cost, of course, is of no importance
compared with the great and vital
interest involved. The people care
nothing for expenditures SO long as
they are made for the promotion of
the national welfare. The Wolcott
Commission was appointed by the
President and sent to Europe at
public expense for the ostensible
purpose of advancing the cause of
bimetallism. The issue is one in
which every intelligent citizen of
the country is directly and intensely
concerned. In asking for report
of its labors and observations, SEN
ator Aliens resolution voices an
eager and urgent public demand.
Senator Wolcott's obvious desire to
keep from the Senate a full and
complete report evidences an UNI
willingness to acquaint the country
with the observations and results of
the Commissions tour of Europe.
Senator Stewart gave terse and
forcible expression to the popular
suspicion in which is held McKin-
ley's whole course in dealing with
the Wolcott Commission. Replying
to Senator Chambers plea for the
President, Mr.. Stewart said: This
only shows the duplicity of the ad-
ministration. What does il mat
ter that Mckinley expressed pleas
ure at the silver tendency OF France
when he and his Secretary of the
Treasury and his Comptroller of the
Currency were doing then and are
doing now their utmost to drive sill
yer and all issues but gold coin out
of circulation in the United States?
His official conduct has been an
open reputation of the Wolcott
Commission from the day it left the
United States"
The Nevadan could have gone
further along this line and still re-
manned within the bonds of truth,
He could have stated with perfect
consistency with the facts in the
case that the President actually
nullified, by secret methods, the
advance made by the Commission
in ENGLAND 81 Louis ReDubLic.

colt is as mad as d wet hen at Sec
rotary Gage ovsr the latter's acts
on the money question, and says
Gage is disappearing the admin
istration on this question. Wolcott
is off his base on this proposition.
Gage is carrying out the aminis-
tration's ideas on the financial
question all right, but Wolcott is
having things misrepresented to
him by the administration.
