IN Ell

A 3Oo-pound rider at Fort Worth, Tex,
lately rode a quarter Of q mile straight
away OIL n 2%o-pound Svheelin 80 seeonds.
This is q record.
An automobile wheel has been or
dered by q wealthy resident OF Picking,
China. BY the way, automobiles are not
destined to come into general use right
away. Prices for these machines range
from $500 to 5000.
In California, the seceders from the
L. 4. W.. have not been successful.
The riders are cut Off from the national
circuit and all the L. a. ". meets, and
the new organization has nothing TO
give in return for these deprivatiors.
Bicycle makers report an increased
demand for brakes, and dealers say TINT
many veteran riders have been con-
verted. The increased interest in tour
ing is responsible for this change of
view. Cyclists who pedal on city streets
only may never need n brake, but cy-
clists who travel over country roads
need one every ten minutes.
One of the drills that n German mill
tary cyclist has to perform is that of
taking his machine TO pieces and put
ting it together again. The drill, we
understand, is introduced with the idea
of teaching the men the construction
of their machines, in order that they
may be qualified to repair, in case of ac-
cident.
There is considerable objection being
made to the use of gas or electric motors
il pacing racers; but it is hard TO see
why. If the desire is to increase the
speed of the riders, nothing a be too
fast, mechanical or human; and il it is
desired to determine how many miles
the rider can make without outside aid,
why not abolish pace-mnkinS alto
gether?

UNCLE SANS STRONG BOX.

1t costs annually about 1850. 0O0.-
600 to maintain the United States
government exclusive OF oyer $780,
100000 for the postal service, much
OF which is paid back from postal re-
ceipts.) We expend annually for the
civil establishment THAT is, the salar-
les OF public officials ind employees OF
the executive departments, ARE OF
public building, etc.l about $50 ,000,-
900; for military establishment, $780,

and for interest IN the public debt.
s35, 000, O00-making a total OF $780,
100000.
To meet these expenditures the
United States government has to
raise the necessary funds by
taxation. The greater amount is
raised by customs duties and by the
internal avenue tax upon whisky,
tobacco. beer. playing cards, CLEO.
margarine, etc. For the year ending
June 80, 1896, there was collected
SlG0,000, 900 from customs taxes and
S14T, 900 900 from internal revenue
taxee. the balance consisting OF mis-
cellaneous receipts from eales OF
public lands, revenues Of the District
OF Columbia, consular fees, fees on
letters patent, national bank circula.
ton, profits on coinage, etc.
One can easily realize the immense
work OF collecting this vast sum OF
money. In addition, however, tho
treasury through its accounting Of
iicers, has to supervise the cxpendi.

OUR roLtor roR 1898.

With this issue the IxpEpEspEST
starts upon a now volume, the 10Th
for the Daily and the ed for the
Weekly. In beginning it's sixth year
under it's present ownership it would
be ungrateiulto its friends and pat
rons IL il did not oxtsnd its sincere
thanks to them for their support II
the years gone by. 1t would also be
derelict in its duty il it did not wish
all it's friends and patrons a full
measure OF happiness and prosperity
during the year just beginning. May
their lives fall on pleasant places and
may God shield and protect them and
their loved ones during the year 1895.
The INDEPENDENT during the pres.
emit year will be as throughout its en-.
tire history,a history co.cqual with
that Of Elko county, a fearless foe
to corruption in county affairs, IN
earnes opponent Of wrong, an enemy
OF crime in our midst and a sturdy
defender OF the right ns God gives it
the power and ability to sec the right.
It's politics will remain, as in the
past, Democratic to the core. Tho
principles OF Jefferson, Jackson and
Bryan will be the beacon light to
guide it over the stormy political sea.
In state affairs it will advocate n
fusion Of the forces, favorable to the
free coinage OF silver, IN the Fall
campaign. But il that fusion be not
made it will follow the flag OF the
Democratic party wherever it may
wave and go down with it in defeat
or rejoice with it in victory.
In county affairs it will be found
advocating the strictest economy in
expanding the peoples money. No
ring or clique having for its object
the fatteninR Of it's members upon
the public crib will have lite support.
1t has made enemies in the past by
its war on these Parasites and will
not change its curse so long as its
present management continues.
In local affairs it will strive to pre-
sent the news in an interesting man.
ner. It will be n foe to hoodlumism
aud viii expose crime in our midst,
no matter by whom committed.
Threats Of personal violence or loss
OF patronage will not swerve it one
iota from its course.
n In all things the INDEPENDENT
will strive to be fair and just. The
words OF the immortal Lincoln,
with malice toward none; with
charity for OIL" will be our motto.
With this statement Of its objects
and aims the INDEPENDENT conf.
IDENTIFY appeals to the people OF Elko

THE MOST POPULAR WOMAN.
Dolly Mndi.on's Frank. CordinI Man
ner, and Dcmcnnor.
No woman is more closely or fondly
associated with the white house than
Dolly Madison, writes Clifford How
ard OF when Dolly Madison saved the
Declaration Of Independence in La
dies Home Journal. During the eight
years that her husband occupied the
position OF secretary of state under
JeffcrSon's administration she was al
most as frequently called upon to do
the honors ut the receptions and levees
at the presidents house rs in her own
home, where she entertained in n de-
lightful and s%umptuous manner. She
was, therefore, fully prepared for the
duties that devolvcd upon her as mis-
trcss Of the white house upon the cleo
ton of Mr.. Madison to the presidency.
In the graceful and skillful pcrform-
ance OF her delicate task she gained
the admiration OF everyone, and added
to the popularity she had already won
both for herself and her husband.
Through the potent influence OF her
personal charms, TO which were added
4 frank and cordial manner, a sweet,
ingenious dcmeanor, and the happy
faculty Of adapting herself to the views
of those about her, she readily became
n general favoritc. Before her reign
at the white house WIS concluded She
was the most popular woman in the
United Statcg.

n potato, In very conspicuous when
placed n few inches above the soil and
viewed from n little distance. Dut

tho upper part, the object disappears
by blending with the grounds; tho
whitoness beneath counteracts the ef.
