ssArt RpAY EVENING. DEC. "a, 1898

THE FIGHT of 1896 for the chicago
platform in which free silver coinage
was made the leading issue was a
triumph over the forces OF corruption
and greed that had weakened aud dis
honored the democratic party. We
believe that Bryan was the real choice
of majority of the unbought
and independent people of the country.
The education of the people in that
canvass. the more valuable and sugges-
oestiye education sincethen by the rapid
Growth of trusts and the increasing
poyerty of the laboring and producing
class, give the strongest reasons tor the
belief that the next contest will result
in democratic victory. Butt must be
waged honestly and aboveboard on the
same lines as in 1896. There must be
no eouivocation or deceit. The people
must be dealt with frankly. Whether
right or wrong, that the large MAORI
" of the democrats are for the Chicago
platform is patent, and the majority
should rule. Just now the gold men
are exultaut. They proclaim that sill
YER is dead. They have done that
many times in the past ten or twenty
wears. They would gladly evade the
fight, but they cannot. It is the duty
of the democratic party and OF are
friends of the people to stand by the
platform that declared for free coinage
and to stand by the champions who are
identified with the popular cause.
Such men as Teller, Stewart, Hartman
and Dubois deserve the cordial support
of all the people who desire to over
throw the money power in 1900. We
are extremely sorry to see rival candi-
date to Senator Stewart set up in Ne
vada. Mr.. Stewart is entitled
to reelection by, his talents,
his faithful devotion to the cause and
by his special Identification with the
movement for free coinage. His name
stands for free silver all over the land.
His devotion to it, his courage apd SER
vices. and his infexible adherence TO
the popular cause make his name a
symbol for free coinsge. His defeat
would do more to encourage and help
the enemies of free coinage than al
most any event that could possibly hap
pen. They would shout for JOY over it
and point to it as a proof that silver
had received It's death blow in its al
legged stronghold of Nevada. The TACT
could not be explained away by alleg-
ing that his successful opponent was q
free coinage man. The result would
strengthen the element who bolted the
democratic party in 1896 and who are
now seeking to emasculate the Chicago
platform. These men know what they
are about. They know what is best for
Wall street and Lombard street. If the
silver men of Nevada in this crisis will
not stand up to their own cause END
their own champion, they cannot ex
poet fidelity and constancy in other
portions of the Union where the inter
est in free coinage, though just as vital
is far less apparent than in Nevada
To defeat Mr.. Stewart would be ser
iousEblow to free coinage and they
ought to have sense enough to see it
A defeat of John. P.s Jones or Henry
M. Teller would have exactly the same
effect. 1t would be g setback to free
silver coinage.

AFLAG RAISING IN THE PACIFIC.
The government has determined TO
hoist the flag over another island far
out in the Pacific Ocean, and orders
were sent out late yesterday afternoon
to the commander of the Bennington,
Captain Taussg, to proceed at once to
take possession in the name of the
United States government of Wake
Island. 1t is distant about 1000
miles from Nihau, the westernmost of
the Hawaiian Islands. 1t is almost in
a direct line between these possessions
of the United States, and is admirably
adapted for the use as station for g
Pacific cable to connect the Philippines
with Hawaii and the United States. 1t
is about three miles in length and en-
closes lagoon of salt water. Wake
Island is said to be by right already
American territory, for in 1851 Admiral
Wilkes surveyed the place and assert
ed title. 1t is not inhabited, so far as
known at the present time, though III
the past some guano gatherers have
temporarily lived on the island.

Secretary of State Burdick Presents His
Annual Report for the Year End
ing September 80, 1s9s-The Docu-
ment is an Interesting One and
Touches Upon Important Matters.

The annual report of the secretary of
state, Hon. C. w. Burdick, has been
completed for the year ending Septem-
Der 80, 1898, says the Sun-Leader. Mr..
Burdick calls attention in the report to
the increase in revenue Of the state de-
rived from incorporation fees, which
were raised by the last state legisla-
ture upon the secretary's recommen-
dation. During the years 1895 and 1896
the fees received from this source were
but $3.50. SO, the fees being almost a
nominal rate. Between February 25,
1897. the date when the new law became
operative, and September 80, 1898, the
amount received was $12,355.75. The
increased cos of organizin an incorpo-
rated company in Wyoming has not in
terfered or prevented the organization
of a single legitimate enterprise. Mr.,
Burdick calls attention to the fact that
certificates of incorporation, many rep
resenting organizations which have
long ceased to exist as active business
enterprises, and do not now maintain
a legal existence. There is no provision
under the state laws requiring these
companies to file an annual statement
relative to their business transactions
or indicating the fact that they are
maintaining a proper organization
| Such laws should exist, and the enact.
ment of a statute is recommended re-
curing every incorporated company
doing business within the state, wheth.
er domestic or foreign, to renew a n
nually its license so to do business, pay
ing therefore to the state a fee of 81, the
amount so collected to be applied to-
wards the payment of the contingent
expenses of the department of the sec
Rotary of state. During the year ended
| September 80, the secretary received
for record sixteen pardons for crimi-
nails, two combinations of sentence and
| fifteen reservations to citizenship.

WYOMING STATE HOSPITAL.
Annual Statement of DR.. Reed, from
October, 81, to October, '9s.

The report submitted to the board
of trustees by DR.. R. Harvey Reed, the
superintendent, is very voluminous,
going infinitely into detail, in all cases
that we're admitted to the state hospi-
tai. We here make a synopsis of the
report giving our readers the most in
teresting facts and figures ever credit
ed to this state institution. They are
well worth our perusal.
During the year ending September
Both, 1898, there were performed by
DIR. R. Harvey Reed 1913 operations,
some of them the most difficult in sur
gical science. In the surgical depart
ment 1872 recovered, 80 improved and IL
died, making a total OF 234 treated. In
the medical department 4S recovered, 16
improved, / not improved, l transfer
red and 10 died, making a total of 79
and a grand total of 313 cases. A sum-
mary of these statistics show that out
of the 313 cases treated, 240 recovered,
46 improved, l a no Improvement,
/ was transferred and 25 died from all
causes. The record of only s per cent
of a death rate is something remark
able, and no better proof can be given
than this of the wonderful skill Of DR..
r. Harvey Reed and OF the satisfactory
manner in which the hospital is con-
