The Governor.s 1d.n.

The New York journal and World
having wired inquiries to Gov. Sad
Ter relative to his 'dea Of peace with
Spain, he replied rs follows:
CARSON City, New, July %, 1893,
W.T. Hearst, New York Journal.
N. Y:-You ask my opinion upon tue
desirabiity of an early peace with
SPAN and IF the terms which we
should demand.
The belief is general that war with
Spain would have been averted; tina,
the Maine would be af10at and her
brave crew alive, had we recognized
the Cubans as belligerents. That WAS
not done and war is the result of II
failure 20 recognize the rights of a
brave people struggling for iudepen-
dence.
Peace is always desirable, but not
at the price of justice and liberty.
Our fleets are victorious. our armies
organized and no ore doubts their
ability to take and hold Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Phill!pLes. Spain
should relinquish all claims to Cuba
and Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES
should be held as security for the
payment Of indemnity for the de-
struction of the Maine and expenses
OF the war. On these terms, in che
language of General Grant, ler us
have peace.
REINHoLD SADLER,
Governor of Nevada.
The reply to the New York World
was as follows:
You ask what the sentiment of the
people of Nevada is regarding what
we should do with the Phillipiner,
The people of this State, | believe
with few exceptions, are 0i the opin-
ion that We should hold the Phillip.
ines rs security for the payment of
indemnity for the destruction of the

The people of the PHILIPPINES would
not make desirable citizens, and we
do not want to resume slavery in any
territory over which the American
flag floats. The Monroe doctrine
should not be abandoned and we can
not uphold it If we hold territory &C.
quired in Europe or Asia.

EN- ATORIAL ELOQUENCE AND
PATRIOTISM

No mar who is not a politician and
understands English a doubt the
Justice of the arraignment of Mckinley
as to his time-serving course and his
Injustice to the Cuban patriots. The
speeches of Senators Daniel and Till
man were both eloquent, r~ingingly m
pressive and in accord with facts. SAID
the eloquent. Virginian, who has been
for peace all along:
Il will not be driven by committee;
I will not be driven by president. I'd
rather be a political Cuban rlconcen-
trado on the island than to be an
American senator and not proclaim
the freedom and independence of the
brave young Cuban republic
The concluding sentences of the
South Carolinian had the right ring Of
patriotism. Said he, and he no doubt
remembered Sherman's destructive
march through his state, and the dew
ilish burning of fair Columbia:
INV people do not want war. God
knows they would rather have peace.
They have seen the horrors Of war;
but the great fellow-feeling of SYM
pathy has gone out to the men OF the
Maine and the lighted fuse which
caused the explosion of a bomb under
the Maine has been relighted and the
blood of revolutionary sires, crying
through the men of South Carolina, de-
mands justice for the assassins who
sent our brave sailors to an untimely
DEATH"
Senator Wolcott spoke in defence Of
McKinley-he needs troops of Defend
ers, for his case is desperate-but he
failed not to put the brand Of condem-
nation upon the horrible assassination
of 26S American seamen in the harbOr
of that trap of the Spanish wolf, Ha-
vana's harbor. He declared that War
must come or Cuba will be free. No
other answer will be accepted by our
people" Then Senator Spooner took
a dip in the depths of defence in behalf
of the unfortunate president with the
weak back But he failed not to re-
member he was an American. He told
with impressive conviction how the
Spanish board of inquiry not only COM
pletely failed to prove that there were
no mines in the harbor, but the report
shows that not a single witness was
called to give evidence in support of
that contention and no evidence in sup
port of it was adduced. That there was
the Spanish completely in the blowing
up of the Maine-that Spain is respon-
sible for that awful horror, that gigan-
tic murder, under our flag, no Ameri-
can doubt. And it would be in a
righteous cause that above our ships
of war when they enter the harbor of
Havana the legend will float: Re-
member the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the

work that way. "a man thus regenera-

he follows the Divine teaching. We
quote now: "The Divine Life realized
at the new birth is not two, but one.
This life, like all life, IS a growth;
and this growth. like all growth, has
it's different stages" Let us quote from
the learned Rev. DR.. IT. 0. Summers:
Regeneration is an instantaneous
work-it admits of no degrees, of no
progression. We cannot be partially
regenerated-we are, or We are not
born again." One more brief quota
ton from Dr. Boland: 'As justification
cancels the guilt of sin, 81 regenera-
ion emoves the corruption of sin.
God can no more purify us in part
than He can forgive us in part" A
mar born again by the Holy Ghost is
made indeed "a new crature in Christ
that is a new creation" for UGH as
the meaning of the Greek.

A FAMOUS PETITION.

The Connecticut Historical Society
has received this week at q present
from the Rev. Charles E. Stowe OF
Simsbury a set of twenty-six folio VOL
umes which nobody will ever read,
which contain outside of the first one
nothing but the signatures OF women.
1t is, however, a set of books, the like
of which is, in all probability, not to
be found in the whole world. 1t Is a
great petition from thousands Of wo-
men of Great Britain and Ireland to
the women of America, imploring
them to aid in wiping out the blot OF
slavery. The number of the signers
must run up into the hundreds Of thou
sands, and it is hardly probable that
anybody will ever take the trouble to
find out exactly how many there are
The organizer Of this great work OF
getting the names was the Duchess OF
Sutherland, whose name appears
among the first of the signers. 1t was
probably in the year 1853 that it was
sem across the water to Harriet Beech
er Stowe. At her death it anne into
the possession of her son., who now
gives it to the Historical Society.
The address is beautifully illumina-
ted in colored letters on parchment. 1t
begins: THE affectionate and Chris
tian address of many thousand women
of Great Britain and Ireland, to their
sisters, the women of the United States
Of America" At the top of the page
on one side is the coat-of-arms Of
Great Britain and on the other this
country's shield.
The opening paragraph reads: "A
common origin, a common faith, and,
we sincerely believe, a common cause
urge us at the present moment to ad-
dress you on the subject Of hat sys-
tenn of negro slavery which still pre-
walls so extensively and even under
kindly disposed masters with such
frightful results in many Of the vast
regions of the western world"
The body of the document sets forth
the evils of slavery and contains a plea
for its adjustment. 1t says that the
women realize the great difficulty OF
solving the problem. The sentiment
is expressed that those who sign the
petition do not do so because they wish
to set themselves up above others.
This is the closing paragraph: I'VE
acknowledge with grief and shame our
heavy share in the great sin, acknow-
ledge that our forefathers introduced,
nay, compelled the adoption of slavery
in those mighty colonies. We humbly
confess it before Almighty God, and it
is because we so deeply feel and SO I'M
feignedly avow our completely that we
now venture to implore your aid to
wipe away our common crime and
common dishOnor."-Hartford Courant

Comment of u COloIed Editor

The following is from yesterdays Daily
Record, the colOred paper:
In making up our verdict we are very
often prejudiced either for or against a
party, as our sympathies are for or
against one, and here is where we are ant
TO commit some terrible blunder. Tues
day night a young man was killed bv
a police officer who was making an ar
rest. The night before at the same place
a police officer attempted to make an ar
rest and was repulsed by a crowd of
hoodlums and finally had to let the pris-
oner escape. There is a disposition on
the part or many, and otherwise respec-
table citizens to wink at these little in
fractions of the law, n when an arrest
is being made the sympathy usually goes
with the culprit rather than the officer.
handede into a bowling mob to make
an arrest, and instead of having the
cooperation Of those around him, he is
often jostled and pushed, sometimes as
saulted, his life in jeopardy. 1t is only
on rare occasions that a man can keep
his wits about him sufficiently to keep
from defending himself under such cir
cumstances, and yet he must submit to
a police officer. Take a man in ordinary
walks of life, let him pass along the
street with a bowling, excited mob be-
hind him, with rocks and other missiles
thrown at him and he would shoot, and
that to kill. A police officer has the
same right to protect himself as any one.
The laWless element have about conclud-
ed that they can run the town. One can
scarcely go to church that he is not in
suited by some %ruffian, and it is time to
throw sympathy away and look straight
INTO the face of the matter. 1t is not our
purpose to justify Police Officer George
in his action in shooting the boy Tues
day night. We simply show the other
side Of the matter, that perhaps some
may have seen. The courts are to de-
termine whether the officers action was
justified or not. Let us withhold our
verdict till then.

LOOK INDIAN" FOR 1T.

When you drop a small object on the
floor look Indian" n you are sure
to find it. Here is the modus operandi:
Somebody dropped a stick pin in the
hall the other day and had hard work
to find it. She hunted high and low,
and on her hands and kness, and with
a candle specially procured for the
purpose, but 1t was no use. The pin
was very tiny and unperceivable, its
value being that Of association rather
than size and brilliancy. Then some
body after a final shake OF the rugs.
was just about to give 1t up forever,
when n of the children CHANGED TO
come along. why don't you look
Indian for it," he asked. Before the
somebody realized what was meant
down dropped the youngster on the
floor, his head and his whole body
lying sidewise and just as close to the
dead level as possible. In this position
his eyes roved rapidly Over the floor.
Il have it," he shouted presently, and
sure enough, right in the middle OF the
floor, in so plain a place that II had
escaped notice, was the missing stick
pin. The youngster then explained
that looking Indian" meant putting
the head to the ground in order to
catch sight of the smallest object be-
tween ones self and the horizon.
They do it on the plains all the time"
he said. That's why they can always
tell who's coming. But 1t works I'm
houses just as well as on the plains.
Why, we never lose anything in the
nursery nowadays; we just look In
dian and find it right off."-Philadel-

said the master OF ceremonies, but

In Holland bills are often paid
through the medium Of the postofice.
1t enables a man living, say, in Rotter-
dam to get a small bill collected In any
provincial town without the often ex-
pensive n tedious interference of a
banker or agent. For that purpose, he
hands his bill to the nearest p~ostofice,
says the London Evening News. It lis
sent to the place wher the money is To
be collected. After the collection a
draft is forwarded to the payee by the
office where he deposited the bill and
where he gets his cash andithe bill duly
receipted, on payment OF a small COM
mission which is payable in advance.

Some Facts.About TOrpedoes

TorpedOes are divided into two general
classes-stationary and movable. The for
mer consists of the buoyant and ground
mine, while the latter class is s~ubdiverted
into the and dirigible. These
terms have been narrowed until now the
fixed class is generally known as the sub
marine mine, while the word torpedo is
applied to the movable class. The buoy
ant mines are exploded in contact with
or very close to the bottom or sides Of
a vessel under water. while the ground
mines act at a much greater distance.
All mines are divided into other classes,
which depend for their nomenclature as
to whether or not they are under the
control Of an operator. In all cases the
controlling agent is electricity. The depth
of water in a harbor has much to do
with the form of torpedo used.
