When One Falls and the Other is In
vaded We May Have Peace.


London, July 25.-Thc Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says:
There is still an endeavor to keep
alive the impression that something is
going on behind the scenes in the di-
rection of peace, but the prevalent idea
is that the war will continue until the
fall of Manila and the invasion of Porto
Rico. \ cabinet crisis has been avert
ed for the time being.
.ThoSe who succeed the present cabi-
net will certainly he obliged ere long
to ask the country to- submit terms
profoundly repugnant to the national
pride. The prospect Of intermediary
cabinets is marred by the loyal and
correct attitude Of General Polayicr..
who declines to become the instrument
of politicians eager to create II third
party.

AN UNJUST CHARGE
The Elko Independent has the fol

She Elko Independent has the fol
lowing:
1t is said. however. by those who
pretend to know the true InWardness
Of the Ormsby county campaign hat
the Silver party has conspired TO de
feat MCGOWAN at the polls and that
the anti Stewart men rallied to his
support ant elected him. This it is
claimed abselved McGowan from any
pledge ne might have made to sup.
port Senator Stewart. This is a ser
ious question and one that McGowan
should consider we'll before he casts
his vote.
There is nothing in the story that
the Silvermen fought MCGOWAN.
The fact that he was elected after the
hardest kind of a fight III a county
that last year gave the Republican
Legislative ticket a majority is Sufi-
Cient refutation Of that charge. In
divldual Silvermen fought him as they
did others on the ticket, but the party
as a party stood by him as they have
n three previous elections
He was nominated by a Silver con
vention, endorsed a Silver platform
which endorsed Stewart, and he ha:
since repeatedly stated that he would
vole for Stewart, yet papers in the
eastern part Of the State continue te
echo the claim made by the News tina
he is anti-Stewart. The Silver me
OF O1n.by are true to the interests q
silver and the men they elect are true
to their pledges as Will be readily de
monstrated when the legislator
meets.

WILL HARDLY BE FOR CED

Several candidates who were elect
ed to the Legislature have failed to
file their sworn statements as requir-
ed by the purity law, and if the law
holds good, are not entitled their seats.
Among those who are very well
known are Lem Allen Of Churchill
elected to the lower House, and Elan
bingham Of Washoe, Senator elect.
The mex will only be refused their
seats in case the candidate on the
ticket receiving the nc>t highest
number of votes makes a contest
II IS notlikcly that theyvilld oth's,
as 20 one with a particle OF fairness
OF self respect would seek 70 occupy a
seat in the Legislature when a ma
jority Of the voters ii his county had
registered their preference at the polls
in favor OF some other candidate.
Those who might be entitled under
the law to make a contest on the
teChneCallty thus afforded Will be held
IN much greater respect by their fell
low citizens if they refrain from taking
advantage Of it.
1t IS the violation OF the spirit OF d
government Of the people when a per
son not elected by a popular vote car

Now that Senator Stewart has gone

the opposition journals to follow the

that will be echoed to each other all
