to attempt to give any account of the bat
tie, but [ must say I watched with ad-
miration, despite my fears, the plucky
way in which the French scaled the heights
on the right, where they were much sleeper
than in front of us-in fact it was regu-
lar scramble. Fortunately, at first, there
was nobody to oppose them, as the Rus
slams did not expect an attack from that
quarter. the ascent being so steep; but
when the French had got footing on the
top, a fierce fight began.
Now came our turn, and we advanced
towards the river Alma, which flowed all
along the front of the Russian position !;
and as we came within range the Russian
batteries opened upon us, and then men
began to fall around me. 1t is impossible
to describe what [ felt, but the fear of
death was strong upon me, and it was only
by great effort of will that | forced my
self to keep my place in my company
As we continued to advance, the fire grew
hotter, and musketry, to which as yet we
made no return, was added to the artillery
fire we had to bear At last we reached
the river and plunged in; the banks on
both sides were high, but highest on the
farther side, and high enough when we
were down in the river to protect us from
the intolerable fire of the enemy, and for
a moment we were in safety. | confess
that here | hesitated, and could not at first
force myself to mount the bank. The
captain of my company had already fallen,
so there was no officer to notice my move
ments closely, but knew it was impos-
sible to stay there long, and that was
setting a very bad example to my men.
Just at that moment | caught sight Of
Charlie; he was up on the farther bank
encouraging his men to scramble up and

DON'T BREAK THE LINE.

The opponents of Hannaism will
make a desperate endeavor to defeat
the silver party in Nevada this fall
and then hold the State up to the
East as an object lesson to show that
the place where the silver
was born has turned its back upon
the cause.
The defeat of the Silver party this
fall would have a distinct bearing on
the Presidential election of 1900 and
realizing this fact every effort will be
made to disrupt the silver organize
ton of the state.
The triumph Of the cause in the
West will spread CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the gold.men and d~ishearter
them for the grand struggle Of 1900.
They realize that Democracy anC
free silver is.about TO carry California
and have sent their paid agents into
the field to stem the tide which now
headed by Mcguire threatens te
blast Republican hopes in the colder
state.

The Republican party i'll this State
no longer minces matters in relation
TO the silver question. 1t is and has
so declared itself q single standard
party committed to tie destruction of
the white metal.
The county platform upon which
the legislative nominees are running
that II endorses the St.
Louis platform on which Mckinley
was elected and this being the case
he would like the Republican nominee
on the Republican ticket to come out
squarely before the people OF Carson
and tell them if they endorse the
present action of the Administration
in regard to the closing of the Carson
Mint to the coinage of silver.
A few months ago the coming
presses were taken down, the machin-
cry dismantled and everything ship
ped away from Carsou that could be
used in the production of money.
The hands have been gradually
discharged, the pay of those who re-
main lowered ant the capacity of the
plant gradually reduced until they
are just about enough left to start up
a fair sized blacksmith shop.
This was not done for lack of bull
lion to coin, for a few weeks previous
to the d~ismantleing of the Mint, sew
eral freight car loads of bullion were
shipped away to San Francisco,
enough to have run the Mint at its
full capacity for two or three years.
This bullion could have been coined
at a great saving to the Government
as compared to the cost of having it
coined in San Francisco but the Nc
K1nley administration had determin-
cd on the dismantleing of the Mint
and it had to go.
This has dealt a terrible blow to the
prosperity of Carson but the people
have to stand it. They are not how
ever obliged 10 stand having crarnmed
down their threats a Legislative ticket
pledged to further support a policy
which has nearly destroyed our little
city and which seeks still further
to kick us down the path on retro
gressiOn.
1t is adding insult to injury to ever
nominate a Legislative ticket in Car
son pledged to the policy which
means ruin to the town.
The Republican platform not ONLY
endorse the ruinous acts of the ad
ministration, but thanks it for the in
jury it has done us.
Blind partisonship could hardly g
further than that.
Will the legislative nominees o
the Republican ticket please hire
hall and tell the people why the,
take such a stand and also inform IL
if they consider any statement mad
in this article untrue.
