Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1898-09-28

The town of WadSWOrth is within the
borders of the Pyramid Lake Reserva-
ton, and consequently the citizens of
Wadsworth have never been able to get
title to their holdings. Senator Stewart
had a provision put in the last Indian
Appropriation bill allowing the people to
get title to their lands under the town
site law at a nominal cost. This piece of
legislation is of inestimable value to
Wadsworth and the citizens heartily APP
preciate it.
The establishment of numerous post
offices all over the State and the changes
of mail routes to correspond to the con-
venience of the miners, ranchers, and
others attest the influence Senator Stew
art has at Washington.
The present mining laws of the United
States are the product of the brain of
Senator Stewart. 1t was he who, when
an effort which seemed too powerful for
resistance was made to sell the mines at
auction, defeated this il-considered and
unwise method of d~ispOsing of the mines
and obtained the enactment Of the mining
laws which guaranteed to the miners the
fruits of their discoveries.
On the subject OF irrigation no public
man has taken a deeper interest than our
Senator. He is really the father OF the
agitation for the reclamation of the arid
lands. His report made in 1890, COM
prising six large volumes, from the Sen
ate Committee IN Irrigation Of which he
was chairman and which travelled all
over the arid region, forms the basis of
all calculations now made to reclaim the
immense area of land untillable for lack
of water. Senator Stewards efforts are
now being directed toward diverting
appropriations which are yearly made
Rivers and HarbOrs in the East to the
reclamation Of the arid lands Of the West
which would provide homes for countless
families.
On the money question, who has con-
tributed more toward creating the ire
mendOus sentiment which pervades this
country in favor of the restoration of
silver than Senator Stewart? Day and
night our Senator has worked to bring to
the attention of the American people the
inheritance of remonetizing silver and
enlarging the volume of money in circu-
lation. His speeches, his letters and his

man, which paper he founded at great
expense for the great cause so near and
dear his heart and from which $500 news
papers copy, have been etfectual in fore
ing the Democratic party TO throw off the
gold-bug element in that party and
declare for the restoration of silver at the
ratio of l6 to /. The political revolution
of 1896, when 100000 American citizens
voted for financial independence, was
caused by the steadfast devotion to prin-
ciple of the Silver party of Nevada and
Colorado and the labors of Senators Stew
art, Teller, Jones, and others in demand
ing justice for the oppressed laborer
miner and farmer of this country.
In the multiplicity of his duties at
Washington Senate Stewart found time
to write a book on the Silver question
which all intelligent and impartial critics
have pronounced to be one of the best
productions on political economy evel
published. Our former Congressman
Mr.. Bartine, who was a candidate againsr
Senator Stewart for the Senate in 1S9.
