SENATOR STEWART FIRES SOME
HOT SHOT.

When the Teller resolution came
up in the Senate Senator Stewart
discharged a broadside and fired
some hot shot into the gold camp.
He said, among other things con-
corning the Stanley Mathews reso-
luton, which he contends is already
law of the United States, that the
disregard of il by the authorities
has brought many calamities upon
the land. He attributed the panic
of 1898 directly to the disregard of
the law. He showed that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury had no more
authority to sell bonds and demand
gold for them, when there was coin
in the treasury to pay obligations of
the Government, than he had. But
the coin in the treasury was appar-
emily not the kind the bondholders
wanted. Senator Stewart maintain
ed that the law is mandatory, and
it requires the Secretary of the
Treasury to redeem bonds in silver
coin. Even the indianapolis Con-
vention, which knew all that is pos
sible for men to know about f.
nance, admits that Government OBJ
legations are payable in gold or sill.
yer at the option of the Government.
The Senator charged that in the
sale OF 1852, 100000 of bonds by the
Cleveland Administration there had
been a steal of $30,OOO,OOO with the
connivance of the Executive, and
it was a shame that no adequate
investigation of the steal had ever
been made by Congress.
Mckinley could not have gotten
votes enough to make a decent
showing for President if he had not
been announced as a bimetallist. 1t
was claimed throughout the West
that Mckinley was better bimetal-
list than Bryan, because, it was fur
Their claimed, he advocated the only
method by which bimetallism could
be accomplished.

THE Tuscarora Times Review is

THE Tuscarora Times Review is
not in favor of re-electing VIM. M.
Stewart to the U. S. Senate. The
editor of that paper believes that
Stewart should have voted against
the Dingley tariff bill, and because
Congressman Newlands did vote
against it, thinks he would be a
preferable man for Senator. We
do not concur. A free coinage
measure can pass in the Senate at
any time-Stewart has passed lots
of them-and the Senate would
not be strengthened at all by the
change. The House, however,
would be greatly weakened on the
silver side by the loss of Newlands.
1t is the place that strength is
needed, and Newlands has more
influence there than any other per-
son whom the people of Nevada
could select. AS to Stewards atti-
tude on the tariff bill, we think it
was good move to help it along
The Republicans have been given
their own way in this matter, and
have proved themselves such mon
strous liars by its passage that no
thinking man will again take any
stock in the assertion that the tar
iff is what was wanted to bring
prosperity to the country. The
tariff issue is dead, and the Times
Revieso should let it remain so UNI
til we win the silver fight. Again
we assert that it is no time for the
State of Nevada to swap generals
in the great fight against the gold
combine of the world.

SENATOR Richards, of Lander
county, says he is possible candi-
date for Congress. Among other
things, he says he is not in love
with the Purity of Elections law, as
he considers it only a cloak behind
which a large amount of money is
advanced to subsidize newspapers
by millionaire candidates. This is
about as rich thing as we have
seen in print, since it is well
known fact that the entire press of
the State asked for the repeal of the
obnoxious law at the last session of
the Legislature, and Mr.. Richards
and his many friends could not &C
complish it. When it is considered
that the Silver Party papers were
subsidized with a $12 check from
the Central Committee for advertis-
ing that amounted to several hun
dred dollars during the campaign,
the cream on the above remarks by
the Senator gets thicker.

The Reno Gazette lays back its
ears and elevates it's heels because
the TIMES expresses the belief that
Nevadans should not patronize the
gold bugs of California who voted
against Nevada's principle indus
try. 1t was not expected that such
a policy would please the gold
plated place hunter of the Gazette,
but it is a policy, which if followed
up by Nevadans, would make Cali
fornia wish she had not voted to
annihilate us. The little story of
the goose and the yellow egg might
be applicably related here, but
wonld probably be too deep for the
Gazette mans comprehension.

p! AND TIE PENDULUM
A Prisoner Waiting to be
Hacked by Times
Scythe.
ONE MINUTE OF LIFE LEFT
Thousands Whose situations Are
scarcely Less Terrible May Easily
and Readily Find Help.

A man lies fiat on his back, bound
so that he cannot move an inch. He
is in a dungeon, at first dark as a
well, but in few minutes light
in the ceiling, far up, shows me-
chanical figure of Time with his
scythe. The figure descends slowly,
the scythe swings, and the prisoner
realizes that unless some unexpect-
ed help should come, he will be
slowly cut to pieces. What follow
ed is told by Edgar Allen Poe in the
fantastic story called "The Pit and
the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach
of dreadful death is a type of a
large class of uniortunates who, en-
tangled in the strangling coils of an
octopus, have lost all hope of free
dom. This monster is Morphine.
Perhaps the victim is yet reveling
in that glorious state of exhileration
which follows the first use of the
drug. If so, like the man in Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light
in the ceiling and is unaware OF his
danger. Maybe the disease has
progressed ST. far that the sufferer
notices weakness of the hearts
action, that the general health is
feeble, the body poorly nourished,
tho cinbf Io,,hla Tk;o 10 o,,,, fol
lowed by peculiar twitching of the
muscles, numbness of the hands
and feet and the utter collapse of
the nervous system. The victim
now becomes restless and uneasy. A
feeling of dependency seizes him.
This mental depression increases as
one course of treatment after
another fails utterly. The future is
dark and filled with gloom. Days of
wretchedness follow nights of horror
in endless procession. His utter
helplessness to rid himself of the in
cubus adds to his misery. The ter
rible effects of the deadly drug be-
come more and more apparent.
Deeper and deeper he sinks into the
mire of despair, until all hope of
ever being anything but slave in
bondage is abandoned. Remorse
and apprehension take possession
of his mind, and the temptation to
end his miserable existance becomes
almost overpowering.
But there are few situations COM
pletely hopeless. Poe's prisoner
was rescued when the swinging
scythe was close to his breast, and
the victims of the Morphine habit
and their shattered nerves are re-
stored to the enjoyment of life by a
system of treatment which has been
perfected by R. A, Gum, M. D.. Al
East 21st street, New York City,
and which has yet to record its first
failure. 1t is not ''tapering Off or
substitution process. 1t is as harm
less as it is painless. 1t does away
with all desire for the drug, and
quickly restores the shattered nerv-
Gus system to its normal condition.
1t treats the condition as a disease
and not as habit. 1t is scientific
and successful. For full particulars
address as above.

Pirecrackers In China.

In China frecrackers can be purchas. ed at cost of 62 cents for 10, 900, al though the best quality commands twice this price. This is but little more than the actual cost of manufacture. The straw paper used is of the cheapest grade. The powder is also of cheap and inferior quality, which probably ac- counts for so many ''sizzers" in every pack.
 Most of the firecrackers are made by women and children at their homes, and rapid workers are able to earn from 5 to cents per day. An expert can earn 10 cents, while novice receives only his board for the first four years The wages paid in this trade are about the same as those paid the common laborer
 Besides being unhealthy, the work of making frecrackers is more or less dan gerous, yet the hours of labor are from a. m. to II p. m. seven days in the week.
