Gibbs back stairs afforded the

from the cGnnl to the top OF the

seems TO be the height Of careless
ness for n town, the size OF Monte

water close to the business part of
the town during more than hslf OF
the year-nnd especially during
the spring winds-to be entirely
without means for putting out n
fire. A hand engine aud plenty OF
hose should be secured without

The city fathers should heed this
admonition before il il too late.

broached to issue paper money
Senator Fessenden was opposed
to this innovation. He was like
the most OF the men then in con-
gress, he had never given the
money question any special
thought, and he yielded to the de-
parture from specie basis with
misglvings. But before the war
closed Senator Fessenden learned
something about finance, as his
report as secretary of the treasury
shows. He was the only secretary
that ever denounced the gamblers
i'll scathing terms as enemies of
their country. The experience of
thirty-fve years with paper money
and the study given it by the
American people have made them
better acquainted with the subject
than We're members of COM ress
thirty-seven years ago.

THE first vote on the pending
war revenue measure in the senate
which wss reached Saturday, shows
that there is little likelihood of
rich corporations being taxed to
secure funds for the government.
The first vote came up on the
Democratic amendment to tax cor
porations and the amendment was
defeated by a vote of Al 20 27.
Senator Wolcott who owes his seat
in the senate TO the corporations
voted all right-for the corpora
tions. Senator Teller is not re-
corded rs voting on the amend
ment. The senate bill provides
for 100000, 900 in bonds in place
of the $500, 600, 900 rs provided by
the House bill. This bill will be
pushed to vote by the las. of the
week and the house will concur.

lT is nice to have n little fruit
for ones own use, but grain and
hay country Is preferable to fruit
country. A few years ago some of
our valley friends went to Farm.
ington, New Mexico, in order to
raise fruit, others went to Grand
Junction and elsewhere for the
same reason. A few days ago n
family from Harrington passed
through Alamosa via prairie
schooner, for Frontier county, Ne.
braska. They said that they sold
100 tons of alfalfa there at Sl.25 n
ton aud their fruit: other than
what they used, was worthless.
There WAS no market for any of
their products and 30 they pulled
out and left the country. There
is nobody pulling out of the San
Luis valley because he cannot
make II living.

IHE Importance of ship canal
across the isthmus is now aopar-
ent. IL takes too long to send n
fleet around Cape Horn in case of
an emergency such as the present.
and we are glad to notice that in
the alliance with Great Britain
there is a provision for the build
ing of this canal by the United
States to be owned by this country
when built. The scheme which
has been before congress for years
hns been n plot whereby the gov
ernment was to build the canal and
n private corporation WAS to own
it when built, or practically that.
The people of this country have
for years been disposed to build
this canal for themselves but not
for some thieving corporation.

SENIOR Don KonKER says:


there is any fusion going on this

best to see that the party fuses

itself from when it becomes neces-
sary to do so. We do not propose
to stand any more of Mr.. Patter-

THE war with Spain will not
have been fought in vain; it will
usher in grander civilization than
the world has ever known. The
crowned heads Of Europe will bow
to Uncle Sam, who stands rs the
representative of the idea that all
men are created equal and that
kings have no divine rights which
Americans are bound to respect.
The successful termination of the
Hispano-American conflict will
demonstrate that the genius of n
free people can surmount every
obstacle. Napoleon said there
shall be no Alps. American gem
ius snys there shall he no Alps
and no Pyranees; yea, if need be,
there shall be no Alps piled on
Pyranees. The ships which Am.
erican genius has built ride upon
tie seas or under the ocean waves,
and are not to be compared with
the war armaments of a half or n
quarter of n century ago. Ameri-
can genius trains its runners to
measure distances and shoot at the
mark miles away as readily as the
sportsman can hit the bulls.eye.
The Spanlsh-American war
sounds the death knell 10 plutoc-
racy; despotism must 90 the wny
Of feudnlism, and man shall be the
equal of man. The termination Of
the present war should suggest "A
greater freedom and wider field
for free thought and the exercise
of genius. Evolution has not yet
accomplished its mighty work.
The last half century has discov-
cred the means by which the wants
of man can be supplied, and the
next quarter Of n century will learn
how to apply these means to the
comfort of the human family.

WesterfieiG and Pratt,

In reply to card published in the Vir
! Iinla Report by Gen. Pratt, Mr.. Wester-
| field says that som" Of tie statements are
not quite correct. Referring to Mr..
GrimmOn he says:
The Generals published position is in
! the main true. l demanded the removal
OF Mr.. Gr!mmOn solely and alone on
political grounds. Mr.. Grimmon did not
belong to my political party ands | de-
manded his removal just in the same
manner as the Republicans would have
done had they remained in power and
found Mr.. GrimmOn in the position as q
silver Party man. Mr.. Grimmon and
myself are friends personally so far as
know. [ live at his hotel and I nav NV
pllls promptly and am sure / have no
fault to find with his treatment of mo
he is courteous and gentlemanlv: we
simply do not belong to the same party
Let the General ask Mr. Grimmon and
thlnk he will find that while he was
superintendent of the Home he fOund
sleuth hounds on his track as Mr.. Roehe
mas to-day There has never been a
superintendent of the Home who has
not been accused of abuses in some wav |
or other"
The above is about correct. The onlv
charge ever brought against Mr. Grin,
mon was that he kept a very fine team
on horses. At least it was the ONLY one
that ever stuck.

an article entitled Life on an American
DESERT by Annie Weston Whitney.
The article in question describes Me-

warming up to her work goes on with.
MANY OF the children living on this
great desert have never seen blade of
grass anu have never eaten a fresh vepe-
table. Horses, cows and sheen and evan
uogs and cats would be curiosities to
them. They know nothing of the de-
nights to be derived from a flower or
vegetable garden, nor do they know any,
thlng OF life in the woods. They have no
helghoors, and no horses, for there is no
place for them to go and nothing for them

Virginia City is located III the Eastern
part of the State in the article, and there
is whole page of this sort of misinfor-
nation. The editor of Forward owes if
to his readers that such trash is NOT
printed IN it. In the very town in which
the paper "F"rward' is published, the
state OF Nevada, at the Philadelphia Ex-
position, took tha first premium for
wheat, potatoes, apples and hay, compet
ing with the world.
The editor of the APPEAL has mailed !
the editor Of "Forward'' a pamphlet en-
titled The Resources Of Nevada, and ,
hopes he will read it carefully and make !
the proper amends.

He Was HIS own Recommendation.

When n merchant had hired an Of
fee boy. one out of fifty applicants
who answered his advertisement, a
friend asked: How did you come
to select that fellow. who didn't have
a single recommendationT
"He had a great many" replied the
merchant. HE wiped his feet when
he came In, and closed the door after
him. showing that he is careful; gave
up his seat to that lame old man,
showing that he Is kind and thought
full; he took off his cap when he came
In. answering my questions prompt
ly and respectfully, showing that he
is polite and gentlemanly; he picked
up book which had purposely laid
on the floor, and replaced 1t on the
table, while all the rest stepped over
1t or showed it aside; and he waited
quietly for his turn, instead of push
ing or crowding. When l talked to
him noticed that his clothes were
carefully brushed, his hair in nice Or
der, and his teeth as white as milk:
and, when he wrote his name, l no.
ticed that his finger nails were clean.
instead of being tipped with jet, like
those of that handsome little fellow in
the blue jacket. Don't you call these
things letters Of recommendation? I
do, and l would give more for what
can tell about boy by using my
eyes ten minutes than for all the let
ters of recommendation he can give
me-"
The selection proved a wise one.
The incident shows that a mother
who Is teaching her boy good manners
and habits of self-respect may be pro-
viding him with a capital more sub
stantial than a bank account.-Suc-
cess.

Military Courage.

The question of the comparative pro-
portion of really brave men in any
army will probably never be determin-
ed. Great officers on the Continent
Keep their knowledge on that subject
vigorously as a professional secret, and
assume as certainty that all soldiers
are brave. They know very we'll, how
ever, that they are not, and when con-
ndential will admit. as Marshal Won
Moltke once did in public, that with a
great number 1t takes discipline, and
severe discipline, too, to induce them
TO face shells unshrinkingly. Ameri.
can officers have been known to ac-
knowledge that of their men, who are
as brave as any in the world, 20 per
cent. would run away II they could.
and in every army, even ours, which
q man enters only Of free will, there
is certain proportion who literally
cannot overcome their fears. They are
stricken with a sort of paralysis The
proportion is probably not high in any
army, the majority, IL in health, being
able to do their duty, and having in
tense motives to do it; but neither Is
the proportion high of those who lit
orally feel no fear.
There are such men who do not
quite understand what the emotion Is,
as there are also some who have in
extreme danger a sense of pleasure,
which sometimes not only quickens
1heir blood, but distinctly increases
their intellectual force. This is said
TO have been true Of Gen. Picton, who,
though a hard, rough man, was an
"angel when bullets were about; and
was undoubtedly true of the first Lord
Cough, who had trick, highly disa-
sreeable to his staff. Of seeking points
Of full exposure to the enemy's fire.

The Scarcity of Tin Ore.

The fact that tin, of all the metals
in common use, is only sparingly dis
tributed throughout the world is again
called attention to by an Australian
geologist, Mr.. B. ]. Skertchley, who
has published monograph upon the
subject. While the known gold fields
of the world cover more than r,soo,-
900 square miles, the tin fields have
an area of less than $4,000 square
miles. Thus, for every square mile of
tin ground there are I3a square miles
of gold-bearing country. There are
seven tin districts in Europe, pro.
ducing about $500 tons yearly, of
which the Cornish mines yield about
5000 tons. Asia has two tin areas
Human, in China, estimated by some
of the best authorities to produce TO-
900 to 10000 tons year, but proved
