HIS Opinion of Nevads's Congress
sfonaI Delegation.


Senator John 7. Morgan of Alsbams,
one Of she Hawaiian Commissioners. was
asked when In Reno his opinion OF our
Senators and especially Of Senator Stew
art. who is q candidate for reelection.
and sent the following reply from San

SAN Francisco. August s. lS9s.
Editor State Journal, Reno, Nevada
DEAR SIR : Your inquiry gives me an
opportunity that is very gratifying to
me. to express . conviction that is very
strong in the Senate. that Nevada lie rep
resented in that body BY two Senators
Of great ability.
Senator Stewart is one OF our most ex.
perienced statesmen and his abilities are
closely stamped OIL many measures OF
great general importance. As to matters
effectiug Nevada and the Coast States OF
the Pacific, his efforts 10 care for the
people have always been conspicuous and
very successful.
His vigilance and industry have i'm
pressed me with q profound respect for
his sense Of duty. No State or people
ever had . more loyal representative
than Senator Stewart. His attitude on
the silver question lie due entirely to his
| firm and intelligent conviction that the
return to the early policy Of Washing
| ton, Jefferson and Jackson lie necessary,
in fact, 10 preserve the liberties Of the
| people against the insidious march oil
monopoly, bent on their subjugation. In
this, and in many things / agree with
him ; In some l oppose his views. but he
is an antagonist that fights in the open,
with unsiring courage and persistence.
The man who defeats him is always ready
to acknowledge his prowess. For every
honest man he has an honest respect,
whether be is in error. or is on the right
road. Very truly yours,
JOHN T. MORGAN.

Test or Ihe VesuVius.
Chicago Recsrd)


 The United States navy is the only one in the world to possess a destroyer of the type of the dyna- mite cruiser Vesuvius, and great interest has has been manifested to see how the vessel would acquit her. self in action. The first test was afforded Tuesday night, when three shells, each containing 200 pounds of gun cotton, were fired at fortifi- cations on headland at the en- trance to Santiago harbor. Accord ing to the dispatches the shells caused dreadful havoc when they ex- ploded, tearing up earth and rock in immense quantities.
 This was not complete test, but it furnished an indication of the im- mence destructive power of this type of vessel. The Vesuvios ap- preached the headland under cover of darkness, and it's guns, being dis charged by pneumatic power, made no noise until the shells reached the object against which they were di- rected, and exp.oded. Under such circumstances as these, vessels of the Yesuvius type evidently are to prove of value. 1t still re- mains to be seen, however, how such vessel will work under other con- ditiops, and especially where great CT activity is required. The mechanism of the VesuYius is deli cate and doubtless might eaisily get out of order at critical Junctures. The vessel carries no armor and consequently could be destroyed by single well-placed shot from the enemy. But the effect of the dis charge of the shells in the neighbor- hood of Santiago harb0r indicate that within it's limitations the vessel is likely to prove as effective an engine of destruction as it's cham pions have claimed. The efficiency of the Vesuvius as an instrument for clearing harbors of torpedoes and Instructions is yet to be de- termined, and it is to be hoped that before the vessel leaves Santiago 8 thorough test may be afforded in l that line.

Yellow Fever.

In regard to the outbreak of yell low fever, the New York Post makes this sensible remark:
 tThe outbreak of yellow fever in B Mississippi hamlet at the opening of the summer is undoubtedly cal culated to disquiet the public mind at first thought. But little re- fiection will show that the medical authorities of the nation were never before so well prepared to fight an epidemic as this season, when the danger of its spread has been more fully recognized than in any pre-. vious year. One result of the war with Spain over Cuba, is likely to be the practical disappearance of yellow fever from our Southern states at no remote period. When ever the disease has broken out in this country, it has been traced al most invariably to Cuba, and the gross negligence of the sanitary authorities in that island. It has long been the opinion of our ex. perts that yellow fever might have bean stamped out in Cuba if decent care had been taken by the Spanish government of the colony, so that we need be in no more fear of in lection from that island than from Jamacia. If 8 really stable and efficient government shall be estab- hshed in Cuba, the yearly recurring danger of yellow fever in our South. ern states ought to disappear in the not distant future.

TIE necessities of the present war have demonstrated an absolute necessity for the construction of the Nicaragua canal, and that un- der the absolute ownership of the United States says the Shreveport Journal. I. it was in existance to- day the power of the United States would be doubled as navy power by the fact that we could concentrate all our ships on either ocean on short notice. Under the present condi- tions the United States has to practically sustain two navies, one on the Pacific and the other on the Atlantic ocean. And as we have great cities and vast interests to protect on both coasts, it is abso- lute economy for the government to build the canal. If the war is bar ren of all other results if it causes the United States to build this canal, all the money and blood it will have cost, will have been well expended. To say nothing of it's commercial advantages, it is 5 mil itary necessity, and should be promptly cut by the government, and forever held under it's own con- fral
