THE MAIL
Earnes Protest Against the Policy
OF Letting 10 Eastern SPECTATOR

Earnest Protest Against the Policy
Of Letting To Eastern Spectators.
IL is pleasing TO note how universal is
becoming the protest against the outrage
Gus bidding OF Eastern mail route specu-
lators. The western press Is nov giving
these armchair mail contractors q we'll de-
served roasting. II is q good work /; let
the fres be kept burning. II the bids were
made In good faith and with an honest In
tention Of performing the service the bid
ders might not be subject 70 such sharp
criticism. But this is not their purpose ;
ever since the acceptance OF bids were made
known by the Postofice Department, these
speculative pests have kept the mails red
hot with propositions to sub-let routes TO
home carriers at q grasping profit to their
own precious pockets.
During the past four years the Star route
service for Nevada has cost the Govern
ment sos. 056.16 per annum, Of which the
men who actually carried the mail received
only 500. $50 "a. thus leaving a snug profit
OF S4,S75.32 for the Eastern bidders, who
probably never saw Nevada.
In order to shut out home bidders, they
have now contracted TO perform this same
service for s73, 532. 40. q cut Of s21, 7O3. rs,
or 20 ITO per cent, and they yet have the
cheek to offer TO re-let the service at q
proat to themselves OF from Is to So per
cent OF even this low bid.
The following resolution lie being circu-
lated throughout Nevada for signatures,
and il should receive the endorsement Of
every man in the State:
1--WE, the undersigned business men,
mail carriers q citizens, do pledge our
selves TO demand from said nonresident
bidders for the performance Of said mail
service from July l, 1898, TO July /, 1902
according TO Postoffice Department ad-
vertisement OF September Is, 1897 such
compensation as the United States Gov
eminent is now paying for such service,
and we deDounce, discourage and refuse 10
aid or assist any party or parties who may
undertake to perform such service on any
routes In the State OF Nevada for less than
such compensation as above stated"
1t may be signed in Eureka at the Post
Office Bookstore. Similar petitions are
being signed in other States where the
same abuses exist.
In line with the above the Utah and Ne.
vada Express Company, although they
will have no mail to carry, will nevershe-
less continue to run their stages from Eu-
reka to Ely, Nevsds, tri-weekly after July
LIST. leaving Eureka Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday, after the arrival OF the En-
reks & PAlisade train.
Parties anticipating taking the mail SER
vice of the hands Of the Eastern bidders
can now see and know what they will have
TO contend with for business outside Of
their mail pay.

To Increase Nevada National Guard
An earnest effort has been made during
the past few days 10 secure the agreement
OF 9 sufficient number Of young men In
Eureka and Ruby Hill for the organization
OF . volunteer militia company. Under
the laws OF Nevada, as last amended In
1895. the number Of men required 10 form
accompany Is forty-four. One Of the active
promoters Of the object informs us that
only about twenty have SO far SIGHTED
their willingness TO JON. and it is doubtful
II enough more can be found 10 make up
the necessary number. II Is not due to
dearth Of population, but more 70 lack Of
spirit and enterprise, and partly also to
the fact that all our young men do not act
in harmony. Unfortunately. . number Of
cliques exist in the community, and q mis-
taken feeling seems TO prevail that IL such
an organization were perfected, one or
other OF the cliques would be seeking to do
all the " bossing." This would hardly be
the case, however. in a properly conduct
cd military company, and il is to be hoped
Eureks's young men will not allow child
ish considerations OF this kind TO cause
tine plan 10 fall through.

to us by the fortunes of war to help
sustain these markets.
eve must have a merchant marine,
ships on every sea; we must control
the shipping and commerce of the
great oceans that wash our shores;
and, beyond all this, we must have a
navy, greater, larger and more power
full than any that now floats. This is
manifest destiny. Necessity drives
us, our own interests oblige us, and
we cannot avoid keeping peace with
the great powers of the world in find
ing markets for our own people and
acquiring at least coaling and cable
stations all around the globe.
1.-The mighty movements now go
ing on toward combination and con-
solidation and acquiring territory by
the nations of the world, by treaty or
by war, if necessary, is natural and
logical. 1t has come about by reason
of the demands Of better civilization,
wider markets and an increasing trade
and commerce. We cannot if we
would remain longer remote, silent
and isolated. We cannot resist this
great movement, and we should not
try to do SO if we are to take the place
in the affairs of the world that natur-
ally belongs to us.
Because OF our traditional policy
of isolation and opposition to acquir-
ing territory in the past we must not
put aside what comes to us by war.
The Nicaragua canal and Hawaiian
islands rise above the horizon and
come in sight more plainly than ever,
and whatever opposition there may
have been to building one and ac-
quiring the other heretofore must dis
appear in the face of the flag going up
over Moro Castle what has trans
pired SO gloriously and is now going
on in the Philippines, and the great
trip OF the battleship Oregon from
California to Florida.
THE combination and consolidation
that has come about under the de-
mands for wider markets and trade
relations is reaching to consolidation
of States and acquisition of terri
tory in the interest oflarger trade and

THE WATER CAMPAIGN.

The Great Lakes. each from 800 to
400 miles in length. and through which
there is constant movement of the
waters supplying the current that
pours over Niagara Falls, all have far
purer water than that in the Sacra-
mento River. It is clear and to all ap-
pearances pure It is used by great
number of cities and towns for do
nestle purposes, and it is the only sup
ply the great cities of Chicago and
Cleveland have. Yet in Chicago, as in
others. the Health Boards are now
advising the people to boil the lake
water before drinking it. Instructions
concerning the boiling process are
sent out to all houses, and great stress
is placed upon their observance.
In the city of Cleveland the same
precautions have been taken, as also in
Toledo and at many other points in
the United States and Canada where
lake water is used. 1t is not contend
ed that the water in its natural state
is unfit for use, since it is soft, clear and
sparkling. But it is pointed out that
it is contaminated by sewage Of towns
and cities, the drainage Of stockyards
and farms. by the filth coming out of
city harbors, as at Chicago, etc. all
due to a change in conditions as the
country has settled UP and towns and
cities along the lakes have multiplied.
The Cleveland "Plain Dealer" re-
marking upon the subject, says:
The lake water here ought to be
boiled at this season of the year, how
ever, before it is drank If the people
would avoid all danger OF contracting
typhoid fever and other diseases, the
germs of which lurk in the water
Many people object to boiled water,
because it has q fiat taste, but the
Health Commissioner Of Chicago says
that 1t is due to the fact that Is not
boiled properly. He says the boiling
