The New Party,

1t is stated by the friends of the
late Anything Newlands that he has
formed new party which he de-
clares will sweep the State. The
cardinal principles OF his party are:
1. Cheap fares and freights on
railroads and particularly the Vir.
ginia & Truckee railroad.
2. Home rule, which will exclude
anybody who crossed the Sierra Ne.
vadas before Newlands got here with
his carpet bag to run for Congress.
3. The gold standard for the Re-
publicans and Free silver for the
Democrats.
4. High protective tariff for the
Republicans and free trade for the
Democrats.
These cardinal principles, Any
thing Newlands tells his followers.
will unite every carpet Dagger in the
State shouting for home rule; every
emisary of Wall street intriguing for
the gold standard; every free silver
Democrat and Republican struggling
for the restor ton Of the white metal
every free trader and every protec-
ZIONIST under the harmonious and
consistent banner of Anything New
lands.
The beauty Of the new party is that
all the elements will he harmonious
and its success will depend upon the
fidelity of each individual to deceive
his neighbor. Lying and treachery
having been reduced to tiue art,
will be used to unity and cement the
party. The gold bugs of New York
will furnish Anything Newlands with
another sack upon condition that he
will swindle the combine and sink rs
per cent of the corruption fund which
the gold combination are ready to
furnish.-Carson Appeal.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.

MAKE A TEST OF STUART,s DYS-
PERSIA TABLETS.

No trouble is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
their nerves are to blame ard are
surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicines. The real seat of
the mischief is lost eivht Of. Tie
stomach is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom.
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms OF stomach weakness Ner-
vons dyspepsia shows itself not in tho
stomach so much as I'D nearly every
organ. In some cases the heart pal
pilates and is Irregular; IN others the
kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss Of flesh AMI appetite with accum-
ulations of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
