reason of the positions they hold. Even
then, they saw the handwriting on int
wall and were not greatly comiorted by
their scant temporary victory.
The very large vote that the resolution
received i'm the convention shows uhat the
matter has taken deep hold on the people
and that IT Will ultimately be adopted
The question involved the abolition Of one
system that has existed for centuries and
the adoption Of another OF which 10 gem
eral information had been dinused, and
the convention did not want 70 act hur-
riedly In So radical proposition. We
believe the convention was right In not
being too hasty in the matter, and we
believe that after due reflection the prl-
mary plan VIII I'm time be adopted.
There can be no doubt that 1t is the
best means OF obtaining the will OF the
people and that it will i'm great measure
do away with the wire pulling politicians

The defeat in the late Democratic con-
vention Of the primary plan Of clecting
United States Senators by the people Will
be only temporary. The handwriting on
the wall IS plain TO every one that the
people Of Virginia will no longer submit
10 the methods that now obtain for Sem
atOrial preference.
Tht question OF course came too sudden
~ upon the people and many who voted
with Senator Daniel did so on account
OF their desire 10 further study the sub
iect in all of its phases and not act TOO
hasty.
Another reason for the defeat Of the
measure was the late hour that 10 came
before the convention. When the ques-
ton was discussed and acted upon fully

wheat and to- IAN o. silver over
throws all OF the Bryan arguments in
the campaign Of last fail Brvan's
arguments apply to a formal condi
ton OF affairs and to the general de-
probation extending over a period of
years. The present decline in silver
Is caused ty the knowledge that the
Mckinley administration will do
nothing for the white metal. The in
timation OF an international confer-
ence, while it gave the hope to the pub
lie Of r rise in silver, was a direct hint
to the money kings that there would
be nothing done in that direction. So
much for the depreciation of silver
The rise in wheat is caused bv its
scarcity and a knowledge of the fact
that the wheat crop Of the world is
short.
Last years European wheat crop
wac very short. But this year it will
be from 100, 900, 600 to 10000. 600
bushels smaller than last year. OF
course a export nothing. Ar
gentine is already buying wheat in
New York. The reserves of wheat on
hand IN Europe are lower now than
they have been before in ten wears.
lhls shows that had wheat been at a
normal price a month ago. say one
dollar per bushel, it would have been
81 so now.
In discussing this question the Salt
Lake Tribune says: The fact that
through a failure OF crops ia Ill tn.
foreign wheat countries wheat has
advanced rapidly in our country, is
treated by the entire gold press as an
unanswerable response to the silver
argument that products including
wheat, measured by gold, have fallen
Ia the same ratio as silver has fallen;
tina is, that gold measured by all
commodities has appreciated 100 De;
cent since silver was demOnetiZed.
That may be honest journalism, but
IL seems to us such writer's must prac-
tlce upon the unbounded ignorance of
the people who read their papers.
speaking OF wheat, it is a pleasure
to Know that while all the world out
side is starving for bread, the present
are that the American
wheat crop will yield from rs, O 900
TO 100,OOO,Oo0 bushels more than last
year, I'M the wheat-rnis-rs ought this
year to get a return of 500. 900. 900. It
Is the first crop for five Years past hat

Rut why worry about Nevada?
Nevada has never had any cheap
communication with the outside
world. Over most Of the State about
the same prices are paid as were paid
in 1860. Railroads are likely to change
all this in the next two years. Then
in two years more Nevada would be
about the foremost mining region in
oil this world. When the Chicago
papers says her silver mines are ex-
hausted and that she has other min
eral resources, that paper merely adj
vertises itself afresh as one Of the
NEST uncomfortable liars in all the
newspaper fraternity. That is it
keeps up its old reputation. Ne
