when there was need for your servi-

Slap at the Young Men.

The action Of Governor Leedy in
disbanding the Kansas National guard
and forming new regiments Of recruits
which which will not be ready for
business in the field for three months
is slap at the young men Of Kansas
who have been putting in time dur
ing peaceful years drilling and getting
ready to defend the State or Nation
when needed.
Just now Mr.. Leedy wants to help
his campaign and by disbanding the
militia and recognizing new COM
panies he can put in office lot Of
Populist strikers who may be able to
help him. But he is disgusting a
large number Of people who do not
endorse that sort Of chicanery. 1t is
bad enough to prostitute the service
Of the State institutions to Populist
desires but the National guard and
the army Of the Nations defense
should not be dishonored in that way.
Leedy should be big enough to drop
partisan politics that far at least.

About the Prizes.

1t will make a great difference to
the capturing crews Of our warships
whether the prizes taken by them
within the last few days are strictly
legal, as on this will depend the ques.
ton whether they are to receive prize
money or not. The value received is
divided in proportion to the salaries
Of the captors; a captain who gets
$4,000 annual sea pay receives about
fifteen times as much as a iirst-class
seaman who gets about $500 a year.
For instance, In the case Of the De-
troit, which captured the Spanish
steamer, Catalina, alleged to be worth
half million dollars, this money will
aggregate nearly $500 to each seaman,
something like $1,000 to the captain,
and to others in proportion.

The same old growl is going up
from the Democracy that was heard
In 1860. The party has always
grumbled, always INSTRUCTED, always
found fault. Nothing suits it and
nothing is satisfactory. The war Is
either too fast or too slow; too eager
Or too passive The complaint is
chronic and it comes from the same
old source. Then bye and bye when
the Spanish are licked there will be Q
howl that the Republicans ought tc
take no credit for securing the
victory.

As a petty, small-minded and I'M
fair bit Of croaking the above is
worthy Of notice. The News was not
only fully aware Of the falsity Of the
article when it was published but
concocted 1t to make showing Of
trouble and dissatisfaction when none
existed. The Republican members"
Of the board had nothing whatever to
do with inviting Mr.. Burton. The
graduating class voted almost unani-
mously to have an address instead Of
the usual program and the choice OF
the class was Mr.. Burton. Every
other speaker mertioned was second
choice and Supt. Niesley only after
some difficulty secured promise
from Mr.. Burton to arrange business
matters SO that be could speak here
on May 26. The insinuation (the
News dared not make it positive) that
the cost Of the address would be SIS

While it is true that two weeks ago

LEAVE THE SINKING SHIP.

Letters received from the Western
part OF the State say there is land.
slide from the Silver party in Storey,
Lyon, Ormsby and Washoe counties.
The voters are drifting toward the
Democratic State ticket and the indi-
cations point to 4 GLORIOUS Victory on
the 9th of next month. Tho Dcmoc-
racy of Eastern Nevada, especially of
Elho county, should second the cf
forts of their brethren in the West
ern part of the State and share in the
glories Of the victory. Those Demo-
Gratis and Silver Republicans who
have followed the fortunes OF the
Silver party since its organization
should cut loose from it and aid in
building up National party that will
uphold the hands Of Bryan and the
free silver forces IN the great contest
of 1900. Now is the time to sever
your connections with a local organi-
cation that can do nothing for the
great cause to winch the National
Democratic party stands pledged. If
the great battle for the remonetiza-
ton of silver is ever won, it will be
through the efforts OF the National
Democratic party. No local organi-
zation can accomplish it. All such
efforts will be as idle the wind com
pared to the great force that will
sweep over the country in 1900 under
the guidance of the National Democ-
racy. The independent voters OF
Western Nevada have rev0lteu against
the party whose control Of the State
for the last six years has been full of
scandal and Encouragement. The
voters Of Eastern Nevada should join
in the revolt and hasten the downfall
of the party that has done uothing
for the upbuilding Of our State.
Leave the sinking ship now and cast
your vote for the Democratic ticket
BY so doing you will strengthen the
party whose National organization is
fighting our battles.

Transmitting Sound Through Tubing.
An interesting series Of experiments
in transmitting sound through tubing
is reported from Germany. The piping
conveying compressed air into the
workings of a coal mine was employed.
The greatest length to which a sound
could be conveyed in straight pipe
without branches was found to be
800 feet to 1,700 feet. For distances
up to 1850 feet the best kind of pipe
was that with a diameter of about 20
inches; beyond that distance larger
pipes wene more effective. In distances
up to $50 feet diameter Of eight
inches is needed. .

name. Delegates stood up in their
seats and waved their hats aud canes,
and in various ways expressed their
enthusiasm. The demonstration not
onle shows the strong hold which this
remarkable man has on genuine DEM
ocrats in all parts of the country, but
shows also that in the east the princi-
Piles for which he stands are growing
more popular as time passes.
And why should this not be so?
Every principle advocated or an
nounced in the platform is more i'm
portant and more impressing now
than it was before. In the west the
people are again confronted with the
prospects Of SO cent wheat; in the
south the producers have four-cent
cotton; and i'll the north and east, the
toiling millions are compelled to &C
cept wages that are lower than those
paid to the pauper labor of Europe.
This fact is admitted by the Repubi-
can newspapers so far as the cotton
mill operatives are concerned, and
the fact that in all lines of productive
industry our man ufacturers are now
able to compete with Europe in her
own markets shows that wages here
are lower than those paid to the Euro.
pean paupers.
1t is owing to this degrading condi-
ton Of affairs that Democratic doc
trine is growing in popularity in New
York and the east. Two years from
now the demand for the free coinage
Of silver will be as imperative in the
north and east as it is in the west and
south; and it will come, not from the
farmers, but from the overworked and
underpaid toilers, and from the small
business men whose prosperity has
been or will be wrecked by the trusts
and combines made possible by the
gold standard.
Democratic sentiment rs represent
ed by the Chicago platform will grow
and spread with the growth and de.
velopment of the awful conditions
imposed on the country by the gold
standard, and by the time the Demo
Gratis enter the campaign in 1000, all
the workmgmen, all the producers
and all the victims of low wages and
dear money will be found united fol
