Whore Mckinley Missed It..

From whnt we know OF cx-presi-
dent Harrison we may presume that
he read with surprise not unmixed
with indignation Secretary Longs
letter asking congress to permit the
importation OF war material FREQ OF
duty.
Mr.. Harrison is nm economist who
has consistently adhered to the doc.
trine that it is the foreigner who pays
the duty. We have no evidence that
he doubts the truth OF the doctrine
ever in cases where the duty is ~
much rs 200 per cent. OF twice as
much as the foreigner gets

Of Lis convictions, and We nay not
doubt that he really believes TINT

parts with his goods mud $1,000, 600 in
cash in exchange for sl,00O,OO0 in

Therefore, the cI-president should
labor with tho president and induce
Him to send Il message to congress
urging that Secretary Longs request

also should point out to tho presi-
dent that he has lost II glorious OPP

ence OF the protective mode OF taxing

MUST PROVE HIS CHARGES.

Eli c. Snyder, principal Of the
Elko public school, was arrested tn IS
afternoon On n charge OF criminal
libel preferred by the editor OF this
paper. For nearly two years we
have borne his abuse with patience
' and treated it with the contempt it
deserved. Patience has ceased 10 be
a virtue in dealing with him and he
will now be given IN opportunity to
prove every charge he las made.
Failing in that lie should be put
where the character and integrity OF
decent citizens cannot be assailed by
him through the public press.
In order to accomplish his purpose,
the ruin OF the editor OF the INDIE
PENDENT. he established Il daily paper
here last September, the columns OF
which. day after day, have been
filled with malicious accusations
against the object of his hatred.
These charges, false i'll every essen
tial particular, have been scattered
broadcast in this community. Nearly
every crime in the d~ecalOgue has
been charged against Us in m insin-
uating, underhand way. His utter
ances have been closely watched in
the hope that he would 80 commit
himself that the law would reach ont
its strong arm and clOthe him in the
fclon's stripes.
That time has now come. In his
Saturdays issue he published an ar
ticle SO grossly libelous and so utter
ly filthy that no man with n spark Of
manhood could permit it to go I'm
challenged. In dealing with the
author of that article two courses pre-
sented themselves: One was to take
the law i'll our " hands and mete
out summary vengeance upon the au-
thor or follow the course marked out
by the law. The latter has been
chosen and il justice rules punish.
ment will follow swiftly and surely.
The complaint in the case is based
upon the last paragraph in his Satur-
days article. 1t is unfit for publica.
ton in any respectable journal and
on that account is not reproduced.
With this statement the charges OF
MIR. Snyder are submitted to the
courts.-From Wednesdays daily.

WAR NEWS.
Special 10 IspEPESpENrl

Special 10 I~sDEPENDENrl
san FRAScisCo, March 2j.-Dis-
patches to the Evening Post from
Washington say that one OF the
highest officials in the service
Of the United States government
said definitely this morning that the
Beard OF Inquiry reports the Name
explosion due to external causes. The
exact eau sc is undetermined and no
responsibility is fixed.
The testimony shows that the ex-
plosion n caused by u powerful
submarine mine, probably Of floating
origin. The report finds that there
were two explosions, the second one
being from the interior OF the vessel
in one OF the smaller magazines.
The Navy Department is greatly
interested in the movement OF the
Spanish fleet Of torpedo boats. a
high official at Key West thinks the
danger la the American fleet is Of u
grave character. He expresses the
opinion that immediate action should
be taken, rs he thinks under present
conditions the American fleet in
those waters would be at the mercy
OF the Spanish vessels.
The indications are that the United
States will regard the seding OF the
Spanish ilotilla to the West Indian
waters hs nm unfrienuly act, unjusti-
fled by present conditions. II is not
that such representations
have been made to Spain. but the
opinion prevails that sentiment here
has been clearly outlined. Great
activity prevails i'll army and navy
circles all ~ the country.

STRUCK A SORE PLACE.

The following item from Fridays
INDEPENDENT evidently struck Il
sore place in the anatomy Of the c
principal:
"A taxpayer would like to know
whether the principal OF the Elko
public school is paid out OF the public
funds to perform his duties in the
schoolroom or look after the interests
OF his paper during the hours when
school Ii in session. The ISDEPEN-
DENT is unable to answer the query
and respectfully refers it to the
trustees Of the Elko district"
In reply to this innocent query +.
G. Snyder, principal OF the public
school, inficts upon the people OF
this community nearly two columns
Of SELF praise and personal abuse Of
D.. the editor Of the INDEPENDENT.
There is no covert insinudtion on
tanned in the item above quoted. 1t
merely stated "a fact that Mr.. Snyder
admits in the course OF ms article.
That he has been on the streets at
tending to his paper day after day
since the opening Of school last Sep
TENDER. when he should have been in
the school room attending to the
duties for which he is paid by the
people OF this district, he docs not
attempt to deny. On the contrary he
muddies the water by devoting
nearly two columns OF his paper to
praise OF himself aud his achieve
ments and closes the article with Ian
guage no seli-respecting journalist
would use. BY this he hopes to es-
cape the judgment OF the people on
his course and make himself cold
with a faction OF this community.
But in both we believe he will fail.
So far as the abuse Of the
editor Of the INDEPENDENT,
is concerned he will not reply
to it nor dignity it with extend
ed comment. 1t is beneath the con-
tempt OF every honorai 10 man in
this community and is so regarded b,
all whose opinions are worthy OF on
sideration. The editor Of this paper
does not desire the confidence or
friendship OF my man low enough to
endorse such sentiments and such
language. If any such there be. rthey
are on a plane too low for us.
The author OF that article while he
may be a postmaster in the use OF
,billingsgate is morally unfit for a
teacher OF the young. The ~associa.
ton OF children with such u character
is sure to bring them down to ms low
moral standard.
In view OF the language contained
in that article, the INDEPENDENT re-
spectfully asks the board OF trustees
OF the Elko district il they wish to in
cur the responsibility Of continuing
h. G. Snyder rs principal OF the Elko
public school?
