THE CANDIDATE.

When the sap begins to rise and the
geese begins to mate
We hear the gentle carol of the fes-
tive candidate.
o, he,s jolly fellow and full OF vain
conceits
And secs bosom friend in every man
he meets.
He asks about your family, horses and
your hogs
And shows friendly interest in the
children and the dogs.
o, he's jovial gentleman, as gamesome
as a lamb,
AS blithesome as a meadow lark and
happy as clam.
His prospects are the brightest and his
chances are sure
And he spends his money freely and
helps the needy poor.
He goes to church on Sunday and his
pious traits appear.
But when it is necessary he will set
up the lager beer
o, he's boyant sanguine duck, the
jocund candidate,
He starts out in the morning and
stays until it's late,
His patient wife unlocks the door and
with a look OF pain she says:
you needn't lie to me, your legs
been pulled again. LEX.

sTAR-RouTE CONTRACTS.

Senator Stewart has taken up the
question Of the mail service in this west
ern country, and has introduced in the
Senate the following resolution, which
was considered by unanimous consent,
and agreed to:
Resolved, That the Postmastar-Gen-
eral be directed to inform the Senate
what was the aggregate amount OF
money expended during the last ealen-
dar year for carrying the mails by use
of horses or other animals over what
are commonly known as star routes;
how much Of the money so expended
was paid to the original contractors, and
how much was paid to the sub-coniract-
ors. Also whether any original con
tractor obtained more than one con-
tract which he sub-cantracted. II so,
give the name and number of contracts
which each person received and sub-let
and the amount that he received from
the department over and above what
was paid to the sub-contf'actOrs.
We are OF the opinion that when the
Senate finds that one man at London,
Ky, secured over |, 100 Of the 6, 900 con-
tracts recently let by the Government,
lis eyes will be opened to the evils Of
the present system. No one should be
allowed to bid on contracts outside OF
his own State, nor should any one be
allowed to bid on more than one con-
tract, except when three or four are in
direct connection and can be operated
together. Under such regulations, the
bids would be made by men who actually
intend to carry the mails, who know
the difficulties of the road, and the
money would all be distributed in the
section where the route is situated II
Senator Stewart will champion such o
nuasure, he will deserve the gratitude
If the people of Nevada.

HIGH PRICES FOR CATTLE.

The Denver Stockman says: There is
little question but hat an era of high
prices on cattle is at hand. Prices will
be higher next fall than they have been
since 1882, and next year will see the
worst of it. After that there will be a
gradual improvement, but it will be
several years before the cattle are plen-
tiful again. The man who buys good
breeding cattle and has a good place to
put them, is the man who will be able
to smile for the next few years.
"If anybody doubts that there is a
shortage, let him take trip into the
country and try to find some cattle, ="
said stockman at the yards. They
are scarcer than / ever knew them to
be before, and what few there are are
held at prices that make buyers hair
almost stand on end. The long period
of depression, followed by high prices
and a good demand, has cleaned the
ranges closer than ever before. The
mus vi bAAC 1Obhbig bOhoaAhO Ah
nually about 6, 900, 600 head of cattle.
At least half of that number are gen.
orally supplied by the country west OF
the Missouri. If they can gather a
million head for market this year it viii
be wonder, and for the rest the feed
lots of the corn States will have to
furnish the supply. BY the 18th OF
May the supply now on feed will be
practically exhausted. There will be
some grass cattle coming in during the
summer and fall, but nothing like the
usual number, and you mark my words
you will see days in the eastern markets
when it win look ike Sunday or worse.
They are all right just row, but Two
months from now II win be different.
They are beginning to realize what is
coming and the market is getting very
strong lately, but it viii be stronger

The Delamar Lode announces that
tho western counties OF the State cannot
monopolizc all of the political spells in
the coming election If Lincoln county
has anything to say about it. They
already have candidates for Attorney
General and Surveyor General down
there and there are more politicians to
hear from.
1t is pretty much generally conceded
that the coming election, or perhaps
more properly speaking, the contest in
the State Convention of the Silver par
ty, vii, be the liveliest in many years.
Lincoln is not the only eastern county
that has prospective candidates. White
Pine could furnish about the best U. S.
Senator or Governor that could be
found in the State, besides or present
Secretary of State, who, We believe, is
q candidate for recollection. All the east
ern counties ask for is good shuttle
and fair deal and we will stand pat;
but If any clique starts to work in put

fornia deck, we might jump the game

any mottos that we know of for the
guidance of the Silver Party in their
coming convention. The latter is not
exactly classic in its expression, but

There is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nouneed it local disease, and preserib-

failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced il ineurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional

CYANIDE POISONING.
Several Men in De La Mar Mills
Stricken Down.

A dispatch from st. George, Utah,
to the Sat Lake Tribune states: With
the cyanide process at De La Mar mills
comes a dreaded and most fatal disease
of cyanide poisoning and anthony,
which is working sad havoc among the
Dixie boys who have formed the main
help at the De La Mar mills. A few
months work in the dust-laden mills
performs its deadly mission. At first
it affects the breath, which becomes
very offensive, and the lungs become
irritated by the anthony and poisoned
by the cyanide, liberation sets in, and
then the work of the destroyer is short
1t is said eighteen victims have been
claimed by cyanide, three of whom are
st. George boys. Lewis Conger, broth
er-in-law to Judge Francis L. Daggett,
died this morning from effects of the
dreaded disease, and several st. George
boys are now very Ill.

Bdison's Ore crusher.

Edison. the wizard electrician, has
rec sntly completed the construction Of
he most powerful ore crushing plant
in the world to be used in pulverizing
ore from his North Carolina mines. The
erusher is a solid mass of steel revolv-
ing in steel bed, and pig iron or any
other substance, no matter how hard
1t may be, is instantly pulverized when
it comes in contact with the crusher.
The wizard claims to have discovered
a process whereby ore showing gold
value of only 30 cents ton can be prop
erly handled. The ore intended to be
run through his giant crushing plant
shows fire assay value OF less than 80
cents per ton.
The famous electrician claims to be
now perfecting process whereby he
can extract gold from the ocean at a
profit where only one grain to the ton
of that metal is held in solution.

of gossip. indiscretions of men and wo-
men, things unfit for publication, in.
trigues, clandestine meetings, night
buggy rides young girls gone astray,

a community, no matter how secret. Il
one half they hear was published, di-

social ostracism in others, shotguns ana

lynching, shame and hypocrisy of life,
and it is a wonder that he believes in

People who abuse the editor the loudesi

San Francisco merchants are getting
a taste of their own medicine. For
years they have contended that the
Cen rial Pacific railroad company was
doing right in ''holding up" Nevada in
freight charges from Ogden to Elko,
Winnemucca, Reno and other points in
the State, in an attempt to compel the
merchants of those places to buy goods
in San Francisco, and even going SO far
as to pat the railroad ON the back when
il succeeded in having the long-and-
short haul clause of the interstate com
merce law suspended, as far as it ap-
piled TO Nevada Now the railroad
company refuses to lower its rates to
conform to those of other roads, and
SIN Francisco Is losing the Klondike
travel from the East, and the outftting
OF thousands who would much prefer
sailing from San Francisco direct, than
from any of the northern cities. With
the high rates OF fare by way of the

Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural
Department, has evidently come to the
conclusion that the free seed appropri-
alton can be put to better use than the
indiscriminate distribution of ''radish
seeds that raise poor turnips", as one
man put it who had experimental with
Government seeds. The Secretary ac-
cordingly sent Prof. Niels Hansen, pro-
lessor Of horticulture at Brookins, S.
D., to eastern Europe and Asia, to
secure new seeds and plants from the
arid regions at the original cradle of
mankind. The professor has recently
returned after travelling thousands of
miles in eastern Russia, Trans-Cau-
casia, Turkey, western China and ST.
IBERIA. His trip has been great sue
cess and he has brought back with him
about three carloads OF seed, chiefly
suited TO our own arid lands, which will
be distributed to the various State ex-
pertinent stations and others for trial.
Among these new plants which are
likely to be OF great value to us are the
following:
A native alfalfa from central Asia
which tests have proven to be capable
OF withstanding more drought and heat
than the common variety.

yesterday morning. There was consid.
