WHAT HAS DONE.

The people of Nevada should not
forget that Senator Stewart is about
the only Representative in Congress
who is constantly securing benefits
for the State. The eason why he
has accomplished SO much is because
he is a hard worker and always II his
seat attending to duty. Examine
what he has done since he has been in
the Senate:
The establishment of the State
University at Reno and Government
endowment of $4,000 annually, to-
gether with a military instructor from
the War Department. This Unlver-
sity is aready a seat of learning for
scholars from other States, besides af-
fording exceptional opportunities for
the children Of our W citizens to
acquire an education.
The construction of the Mint at
Carson and obtaining the necessary
appropriations to operate it, notwith-
standing strenuous opposition in the
House of Representatives to the
regular estimates. Only once in the
last ten years has this appropriation
been allowed in the House, it having
always been put on by an amendment
in the Senate.
The public Building at Carson.
Although the first appropriation was
obtained in the House by Mr.. Cassidy
Senator Stewart procured the balance
necessary to complete it.
Quite recently he had the Ist assis-
tant Postmaster General increase the
clerk hire Of the Post office at Carson
from SI8s to $500 a year, thas enabl-
ing the people to continue to
enjoy the excellent service they now
have.
One year ago an item was incorper-
ated in the Indian Appropriation Bill
reinbursing the County OF Ormsby in
the sum of S6,375 for money expend-
ed in establishing the Indian School,
this money was gratefully received
by the County because it was much
needed in the County Treasury. A
resolution was passed by the County
Commissioners thanking Senator
Stewart for securing the appropria.
ton.
The Indian School at Carson is al
institution which is doing an inn
mense amount of good to the Indians
and at the anne time is a source o
benefit to Carson people. In orde.
to show Senator Stewart that people
appreciate his efforts in establishing
this school it was named Stew art In
s%titute.
At the coming session of Congress
the State of Nevada is PRACTICAL,
sure of receiving S4o4, 900 on acceun
Of Rebellion Wa claims against tn
Government, while private citizen
all over the State will receive pay
ment for Piute Indian war claims. Il
the same bill are contained item
beneficial to a number of other citizen
Of Nevada who are seeking relief
This great bill is called the Omnibu
Bill. Senator Stewart has worke
ten years in getting the State Wa
Claims into shape SO hat they coul
be presented for payment.
The collection of data, from Depa.
ments, On these claims fill tlree lare
volumes. At every session favorab
reports have been made in the Sena'
and on two occasions the claim
were inserted in appropriation bill
IN the Senate, but each time no actit
was had in the House. Californ
aud Oregon have claims similar
those of Nevada, although mug
larger in amount, but it has been d
hcult 10 Secure proper cooperation
have them paid.
On account of the great labor
slowed by Senator Stewart on the
State Claims and his familiarity wi
every detail connected with them
was appointed one of the confere
on the part Of the Senate. His d.
sistency and energy will force t
payment of Nevada's claims at t
next session which will put S4o4,o
in the State Treasury. He has
ready taken steps to inform each
