Wanamaker Leaves the Repub-
licanS.

John Wanamaker of Philadelphia was
Postmaster General during Harrison's
Administration. At one time during a
national campaign he gave his check for
100000 to the Republican National Com
mittee He processes to be good citi-
zen and Christian gentleman and he
finds that he cannot live up to his pro-
fessions and affiliate with the Republic
an party In public speech in Phila-
delphia he said:
II have been Republican since 1860,
but our party now stinks in the nostrils
OF any decent man. II the people are
willing to uphold this corruption and dis
honesty, God save the country
That is one Of the strongest indictments
yet found aeaints'>e Republican party.
A fnan who was mensor of it for 81
yeass, who waa III the Caasiet of Presi-
dent agasr,~ssNl las9wno contributed $780,
900 to its campaign fund, says the party
now stinks in the nostrils of any decent
man.
1t seems that 81 men in the Nevada
State Convention who refused DIR. Patter-
son the nomination for Congress are
worse than Wanamaker pictures those
who control the party in the East.

Stewards Services.

The following tribute to the services OF
Hon. VIM. M. Stewart was paid him by
the Silver Party in convention assembled
We express our profound appreciation
of the tireless efforts of Nevada's grand
old man, VIM. NJ Stewart, not only the
leader OF the silver cause, in America,
but for his great devotion to the local in
terests of the State, as exemplified by the
fact that he has been the author Of many
OF the important measures effecting Ne
vada's interests which have been enacted
by Congress: Namely the mining laws
of the United States, the Carson Mint,
the Stewart Institute. the establishment
Of the Agricultural Experiment Station,
which enables the State University to
receive $4,000 year Government aid,
and the securing Of military instructor
at the State University. We further
commend his efforts now likely soon to
ho crowned with suoooes, TO secure the
payment to the State and citizens of Ne
vada of nearly half million dollars for
moneys expended in the suppression of
the war of the Rebellion, and Indian out
breaks. We indorse his proposal to Sc
cure legislation making lake Tahoe and
vicinity a national park, the Government
purchasing on an equitable basis, the
rights of parties whose interests are af-
fected, as not only preserving from de-
struotion one of Natures grandest works,
but giving the National government
control for irrigation purposes of great
lake reservoir which will guarantee the
farmers along the Truckee river more
water for irrigation and enable a vast
additional area OF arid land to be brought
under cultivation. We earnestly recon-
mend the reelection of VIM. M. Stewart
to the Senate OF the United States, and
pledge the Silver party of Nevada and
the nominees OF this convention to his
support for that Office.

MORTGAGE Paid Off.

On June %, 1897, was compelled, or
account of limited capital, to give two
mortgages on my stock of goods amount
ing to SI2,059.50 and Mr.. Sol Israel, OF
San Francisco was sent here by my cred.
itors to assist me in the settlement OF
these mortgages. Goods were marked az
low as possible and sold for cash only
and by these means ON September 9th,
1898, the last payment on the two mort
cages was made and the store is again on
L firm business footing.
Opposition merchants in town have
cried fake" and endeavored to smother
my honest efforts to clear my place OF
lebt, but low prices and good goods have
.riumphed and to-day rejoice that the
claim is settled.
BY selling for cash only am enabled
to undersell all competitors and to pay
cash for all goods purchased.
/ wish hereby to publicity thank one
and all who have so literally patronized
me and made it possible to resume bust
ness on a solid basis.

considerable trouble and expense to pro-
vide the exhibit in order to help ont the

butter was in its appearance, so he was
compelled to swallow his indignation and

The defense OF Gardnerville against
fire, has for the past few weeks been the
main topic of discussion. Ways and
means are gradually shaping themselves,
and at the meeting last week committee
consisting OF Francis Ezell, Joseph Evans
and Geo. l. Lamy, were appointed by
Chairman George j. Brown, to draw up a
contract to be submitted to the taxpayers
Of the precinct in which the fire lines will
be drawn, and with authority to collect
a sum OF money to be used for the pur-
chase of fire engine and other suitable
apparatus.
H. A. Craig, an adjuster for one OF the
big insurance companies addressed the
meeting, "a, wvH Huma Warrington of
Carson, and others.
Mr.. Craig among other things, said:
" it is not only question Of reducing
rates, but the Companies may refuse to
take risks, where frame buildings are
continually being piled up close together
with absolutely no fire protection. An
other thing wish to call your attention
to is the fact that rubbish and inaamable
materials are left lying around. They
should be cleaned up and the space
around each building should be kept
free"

were treated with the greatest respect.
Still they were not allowed to inheri.

husbands for counterfeiting their keys
and for drinking wine. In Turkey a
woman is held in the most rigid seclu-

clares a woman who is unmarried to be

women are raised as abject slaves. I'M
