MORE REASONS.
What Stephen N. White SAYS Of SEN
ator Stewart.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug % 1898.
REIsHoLD SADLER.
Governor Of Nevada.
DEAR SIR:-Understanding that
Senator Stewart is a candidate for
reelection, and having heard from
my Secretary. who is now in Nevada.
that some question has been raised
concerning the properties of his re-
election. / am glad to testify to
his uniform devotion to the silver
cause. He is the silver man par
excellence of the day. His elimina-
ton from official If would be hail
ed by gold hugs anywhere as a
paramount triumph and would DO
more to destroy honest Government
and to make an honest monetary
system impossible then all other
causes combined.
Stewart is the nestor OF bimetall-
ism far as modern matters go. Neva-
da ought to return him without re-
gard to party. This is my candid
Judgment and do not wish to con-
ceal my views.
Yours truly,
STHEPEN Nj. WHINE,

THE UPPER NILE.
There Is a scrami le Going on Among
European Nations for This
Territory.

Many will ask: Why this feverish
haste to occupy this wretehed country
in the heart of Africa?,
Reasons are many. and most of them
are sound. First and foremost, the row
er which holds the southern countries
through which the Upper Nile and its
tributaries flow has the fate OF lower
Egypt in her hands. 1t has been stated
many times that it would be quite feas-
ible to divert the course of some ofthese
rivers, thus decreasing the annual rise,
which means everything to the agrieul-
turist Of lower Egypt. Without her ag-
rieulture there would be no future of
the country; and unless the river over
flowed its banks annually, and made
its deposit of rich soil from hundreds
oEmiles south, the situation would be
absolutely desperate
Secondly. the districts of Darfur and
Bahrel-Ghazal are rich in gum-rubber
and ostrich feathers, and a certain
amount of gold has been found.
The Bahr-el-Ghazel abounds in ele-
plants, and great stores of ivory are
said to be held by native chiefs, only
waiting for traders who will deal hon.
estly with them. The two districts Of
Dar-Senaar and Dar-el-Fungi are more
or less agricultural countries, and be-
fore the fall of Khartum Greek planters
had been successful there. Therefore,
from an agricultural point of view, the
country is valuable.
Thirdly, the finest soldiers in the
Egyptian army, commonly called the
Sudauese, come from these southern
provinces. These men are in demand as
soldiers, not only in Egypt, but on the
east and west coasts of Africa. The
black battalions of the Egyptian army
are composed of Sudanese, and are reck.
oned among the best soldiers to be
found anywhere.
Who will be successful in this scram.
bic for the upper Nile? I say, most EN-.
phatically, England; although France
seems to have temporary advantage
in the occupation of Fashoda. This oc.
cupation England cannot and will not
permit to remain permanent; and, fol
lowing up the numerous protests made
by Lord Rosebery's government, the
present government must, in order thai
the prestige of England may b,
undimmed, give notice to France t.
leave Fashoda and return to her west
coast hinterland.
From the point of view of commerce
and progress, it would be preferable
for this vast territory to be under th,
indirect control of England. Her pos
sessions are never encumbered will
large numbers Of military and civil of
fcials, and she does everything in he,
power to foster and develop trad
on strict lines of partialitv II
none. With England at the heat
of affairs in this benighted coun
try there can be no doubt but i
will develop its resources in a coompar
atively short time, although there hal
been no semblance of authority of GOV
ernment there for 13 years.-R, Dorse,
Mohun, in Century.

Postoflce for lincoln.
Yours truly,
STHEPEN Nj. WHINE,

Mr. Newlands is actively interes-
ted in securing for Lincoln county
another postoffice to be known as
Search Light, situated close to the
California line. The location of
this new and promising mining
camp is ten miles from the Colorado
river and twenty five miles from
Marvel. Mr.. Newlands has pre-
sented petition signed by forty
nine residents for a postofice and
mail service.
There is every evidence that this
camp is to be a fourishing one. 1t
is growing rapidly. At this time
there are over twenty shafts down,
three of which are over one hundred
feet deep. There is prospect that
there will be a thousand men in
there by winter, and there IS every
evidence of another DeLamar camp.
Lincoln is coming to the front. 1t
is not known that in the small and
sparsely settled counties of south
ern Nevada the grape and fig flourish
that olives mature, and cotton is a
stable product, yet such is, the case
and the completion of the new road
from Salt Lake will give to south
ern Nevada great future.
A Georgia volunteer has received
the following letter from his father.
Do not fail to let me know the mo-
ment you are killed so that / can
order you sent home and arrange
for an imposing war funeral, Of
which the northern papers will
probably want photographs. Two
of your uncles died in battle, and
both had fine funerals. You deserve
fully as much yourself.

The ultimate effee. Of the Spans
isb-American war on tie Industry Of
silver mining viii be extreme.
II will lead up to the free coinage Of
silver or the describing Of silver rs "a
money metal by the nations of the
world except in its restricted sense
as a subsidiary coin. There viii be
no halfway business about it. 1t
is not impossible that the new era
of expansion upon which our
country is undoubtedly entering
nav lead to commercial activity
and growth that will make the lar
ger use of silver imperative, and
result in free coinage. e It be true
that the volnme of = sines4 is the
measure of safety in the matter OF
bimetalism, then a commerce in
fnately larger than we now enjoy
NAV convince all of the utility of the
Joint use of gold and silver at the
established ratio.
On the other hand. if it becomes
possible to conduct the business of
the nation through exchanges based
on gold values relatively smaller
than now without distress, and
with safety to business interests,
then silver will be relegated to the
background, and its value fall pro-
portionately. Used in the arts alone
it will be mined only as a by-pro-
duct. This is a crisis in the silver
mining industry. A short time may
determine line of action that will
elevate the white metal to the stand
ing it is entitled to hold in the
financial exchanges OF the world, OF
debase it beyond the immediate
hope of reclamation Western

As the old proverb says, 1t is not
all of life to live, nor all Of death to
die" We begin to believe that is
the case when we read the following:
"Man's life is full of crosses and
temptations. He comes into the
world without his consent, goes out
of it against his will, and his trip
between the two enternities is exceed
ingly rocky. The\rule of contrari-
ness is one of the trip. When he is
little the big girls kiss him, and
when he is large the little girls kiss
him. If he raises large family he
is a chump, while if he raises a
small check he is thief, and also a
fraud, and Stunned like a Chinaman
with the seventy year itch. If he is
in politics it is pie, if he is out of
policies you can't tell where to place
him; if he does an act for charity its
for policy; if he won't give for
charity he is stingy cuss, and lives
only for himself; if he dies young
there was a great future ahead of
him; if he lives to an old age he has
missed his calling ."-Ex.
