THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Congress convened on Monday. The
Presidents message is a long and COM
prehensive document. He felicitates
Congress on the prosperous condition
OF the Government and the country at
large, discusses our relations with for
eIgn nations and especially with Spain,
recites the progress made by the Ha-
wailan Annexation Commission, and
reviews the work OF the various depart
ments of the Government.
OF the financial policy of the Admin
istration, he says:
1.-THE provision made for strengthen
ing the resources of the treasury in con-
neetion with the war, has given increas-
cd confidence in the purpose and power
Of the government to maintain the pres
emit standard, and has established more
firmly than ever the credit of the nation
at home and abroad, J"

alton OF Dec. |, 1897, as follows: That
when any OF the U. s. notes are pre-
sented for redemption and are redeemed
In gold, such notes shall be kept and
set apart, and only paid out IN x
change for gold.
He fayors legislation for the encour-
agement of our merchant marine, the
increase of the army to 100, 900 men,
and the mastering out of all volunteers,
and the increase of the navy by the adj

NEwLANDs FOR THE SENATE,

The expected has happened. Hon.
Francis O. Newlands was interviewed
at Winnemueca last Saturday, while
on his way to Washington, aud de.
clared himself a candidate for Z. S.
Senator. He said:
"The Senatorial contest was not con.
Quoted ON straight party lines. The
political forces divided themselves into
Stewart and anti Stewart, and the lines
we're drawn everywhere on this issue.
The Stewart forces we're beaten and
Stewart has lost the legislature.
"rhe anti-Stewart forces have not
declared themselves for any particular
man and my name is mentioned as one
upon whom all can unite. The ques-
ton Is whether | can h%onorably be q
candidate under the circumstances.
My opinion Is that | can and | have
concluded to announce myself as a can
didate.n
He then proceeds to charge Stewart
and Wallace with hostility, duplicity
and treacheryn; that they backed
Wren In his canvass against Newlands,
all OF which is probably true, and adds
another page to the already black rec
ord OF the grand old man. As for
Mr.. N~ewlands, II certain rumors we
have heard are true, his record could
also stand a little white-wash. OF which
we will say more hereafter.

From Nevada ONE the doubtful
statement that VIM. NJ. Stewart will

This Is TOO good to be true. The S. p.

this paper has in the matter is the good
of the mining industry; so long as Sem

STEWARDS "INFLUENcB."

The Washington correspondent OF
the Topeka, Kan, Daily Capital, in
speaking Of the probability of Stewart
being defeated for Senator Of Nevada,
comments as follows;
at is understood that tina successor
to Senator Stewart, whoever he may
be, will be committed to silver, but
Stewards retirement VIII not be great
ly regretted by many of his colleagues.
Senator Stewart has been a mono
maniac on silver for many years, and
has afflicted the Senate In season and
OUT of season. He has seized every op-
portunity to make a speech, and has
been particularly trying on the patience
OF the Senate. He is extremely long
windod, and has no oratorical graces to
redeem his prolixity. When loaded
for a speech he has his desk covered
with books, bills and pamphlets. 1t is
his practice to refer frequently to this
accumulation OF legislative literature
and to read long extracts for the infor.
nation OF the Senate. His colleagues
seldom pay any attention TO what he
says. Some OF them make a practice OF
working on their correspondence when
Stewart rises for a set speech, knowing
they will have a long period without
interruption or distraction. Others
dodge into the cloak room to smoke and
swap stoI les.
"The Nevada Senator has little or
no influence In the Senate and his
speeches are apparently intended for
consumption in the Rockies"

Some Railroad Legislation Pro-
posed.

The Virginia Report says: Lively
times may be looked for at the coming
session of the Legislature. Il Is pro-
posed to introduce a bin making it a
felony for any railroad to carry freight
past its destination. Such a law II pas.

the outrageous system practiced by the
Southern Pacific in carrying or affect.

in Western Nevada on to Sacramento
and charging them freight to that place

without additional remuneration In all
suits OF the State against the railroad.
Another law which has already been
drafted and ~Sill doubtless be presented
Is n regulating the freights and fares
upon railroads which have received aid
from any county in the State Of Ne
vada. Ii is proposed to fix the rate OF
fare at three cents per mile, the freight

TROUBLE FOR TRAINS.
Drifts in Cuts Make Travel Very
Difficult.

There are many pleasanter jobs
than running a railroad train in such
a storm as that of Monday. The
Union Pacific had all sorts of trouble
getting through. The westbound
train last evening stuck in the drifts
near Kanopolis and the two engines
dragged the cars to Ellis one at a
time. The westbound train due he
here at 1910 p. m. did not reach
Abilene until breakfast time this
morning and the passengers were fed
at the Pacific. The eastbound morn
ing train was stopped at Ellis, not
being able to get farther east until
Today's trains were from one to
three hours late.
The Santa Fe and Rock Island had
less trouble and their trains were
closer to schedule time.

Average Score Of the County

A Fine Showing

Complete returns from scores from
Omaha for the five months of the ex.
position have been received. Only
two Of the leading creamery COM
panies of this county have exhibited
during the entire period of the EXPOSE
ton. The Belle Springs Creamery
company's plant at Talmage, H. &.
Hoffman in charge, has the highest
average score for the county which Is
1925. A. G. Eyth Of the Enterprise
creamery has second highest average
Of 92.10. The Talmage plant with a
score of 96 in the September exhibit
leads the State with the highest sin
gle score with only three exceptions
during the entire five months of ex-
hibition.
The creameries of this county may
well feel proud of the scores received
considering that their butter was
sent to Omaha by express without
any refrigeration while from other
states they had organized, had their
butter scored and the poor goods re-
jected and balance sent by refriger-
ator trans poratation during the hot
