The following from the Washington
Post will be found interesting:
Nevada is a State that has been
greatly misrepresentation observed eI-
Governor r. X. Colcord OF Carson
City to a Post man at the Raleigh.
1T is true that after the e1haus-
ton Of the Comstock and other enor-
mously rich silver mines, we lost a
considerable part OF onr inhabitants.
but that decline was checked some
time ago, and at present Nevada is
gaining slightly in population. To-
day We are in excellent shape, free
from debt except in a very moderate
amount that has been borrowed from
the States public school fund, and
we have no outside creditors. Some
he-vily producing gold mines are 10
Gated within our borders, notably the
De la Mar nine, which yields $780,
90 annually. The prospects for an
increased output Of the yellow metal
are excellent, aud other resources
are not being overlooked.
Il am a Republican, and belle re
thoroughly in the principles OF that
party, but | do not believe it can
continue in power by advocacy OF the
single gold standard. During the
last few months l have travelled ex-
tensively and everywhere l lind u
most bitter opposition to that policy,
The people may moi be wildly clam.
orOus Tor the free and unlimited
coinage at the ratio OF l6 to /; for il
fact the idea Of any ratio is not very
greatly developed with the average
citizen. The idea prominent with
him Is that one metal has been struck
down and he wants it rehabilitated
The Democrats will press this view
for all that it is worth, and shrewdly
omit the l6 to | phase OF the question
in 1900. by so doing they will sweep
the country unless there Is a great
change in the conditions now exist
ing The American people really
want bimetallism-gold and silver
and il silver is restored to its former
place as money, will be content tc
let Congress establish the ratio"

Pay of Professional Men In France.
In France there are from 10000 to
1900 doctors, OF whom $500 are
found in Paris and about 10000 in
the provinces. or this number 8 or G
only make incomes OF from $4,000
to $4,000 a year, 10 to 10 make from
$4,000 to 100000 a year, 10 make,
say, $4,000, 300 make from $4,000 to
$1,000, 800 make from $500 to $4,000,
while 1900 earn less than $500 a
year. Coming to tho lawyers. 81
whom there arc 5000 in Paris alone,
there are not 400 Of them who mako
AZ much Ms $4,000 a year. A couple
OF score make incomes OF $4,000 a
year. 1t appears that when one OF
these advocates is made a magistrate
bis salary is only from 5000 to $500 a
Jear, while for the Justices OF the
peace all fully qualified legal prac-
titioners tho salaries range from
$500 to 5000 a year. a college pro-
lessor ID paid from 5000 to 1900 a
year, n lyceo professor from 300 to
$1,000 a year. The explanation OF it
all is tho very simple economic ono
that in France tho supply exceeds
the demand, twice as many doctors
lawyers, professors and engineers are
turned out yoarly rs there are berths
