There hac been studied effort on

in the present campaign and confine

after everything else, lay low and
cloud the fight with local issues.
But tho silverites appreciate the sit

the paper owned and controlled by
Senator Stewart, OF Nevada. This
frank paper, called the Silver knight

This is no doubt intended for a

allowing the women the opportunity
to vote there is no propriety in insin-

One Of the students Of the Univer-

with two friends who had fought

Naturally they talked of the war, and

erable knowledge of the campaign,
his pronunciation of Spanish proper
names was bad. Inyaribly he gave
the Spanish ~" its English sound.
His companions who were better
posted on the Castilian tongue, stood
