Pledged Against Senator Stewart.
ANYTHING TO GET OFFICE.
RENO, New, November /, 1898.

HON. +. G. NEWLANDS, Reno, New:
SIR: If l or any other gentleman in
the state should pursue the course you
have with regard to the various nominal
tons for Congress which you have re-
ceived and prevented, I would be de-
uounced as a %trickster, but / refrain
from using any such term with refer
ence to yourself.
You obtained the nomination of the
Silver party to which you profess to be-
long and pledged yourself to stand by
the principles of that party and the
pledges contained in the platform not
w~ithstanding your letter to Secretary
Gage. You friends, MIR. Joe Ryan, John
Dennis, and perhaps another, gave you
the committee nomination of the Demo-
cratic party for Congress. OF course you
were bound after accepting that nomi-
nation to comply with its platform and
pay the charges required for conducting
the campaign. In accepting the nomi-
nation for Congress of the Silver party

highly eulogistic of Senator Stewart,
r%ecounting his faithful services in the
Senate and pledging you to support him
and every other nominee oil the Silver
party ticket. In accepting the nomina-
ton on the Democratic platform you
were equally pledged to support the
principles of that party platform which
denounced Senator Stewart as a non
resident, as having accomplished moth
ing for the state, and by implication
pledged yourself to support every nomi-
nee on the Democratic ticket. You in
dorsed the denunciation of Senator
Stewart in that platform as a non
resident when you knew full we'll that
at the time you came to the state of
ington and you rented his house to ac-
quire a residence and run for Congress.
The Silver party platform and the
Democratic party platform made silver
the paramount issue, but you were not
satisfied with two nominations. From
the best information obtainable I be-
lieve and charge that you manipulated
the Republican convention and pre-
vented the nomination of a member of
Congress, and that the Republican
nominee for governor, Mr.. Mcmillan,
assisted you in the scheme and declared
before the caucus Of his party that he
would not run for governor if the party
nominated a candidate for Congress.
In view of the foregoing, is it unfair
to presume that you have also Endorsed
the Republican platform? The people
would like to know if there is any plat
form e~mbodying any principle that you
would not indorse if by that means you
could get Office?
Yours, truly,
THOMAS WREN.

If any member of the legislature has
been silly enough to promise Newlands
that he would vote for him for the Sen
ate, he can easily release himself by
having some friend tell some friend of
Newlands that he has made up his mind
to break his pledge. Newlands says that
is a perfectly honorable way to do. That
is the way he released himself from his
pledge to Stewart. Sharon told Wallace
that Newlands had a right to he a candi-
date in spite of his pledge. That settled
it, and Newlands proclaimed himself a
candidate just as he was crossing the
state line on his way East.

evidently intend to convey the idea
that there has been toe much of it pro-
duced, and you exercise your ingenuity
in suggesting devices by which silver
production may be curtailed. First, a
s~eigniorage or government tax, "greater
or less" that is, raised to whatever
point may be necessary to discourage
silver mining; and, second, a govern
ment prohibition to the location of new
mines, which you assume will be effec-
tive because those now privately owned
Twill soon be exhausted" Now, if
this had been saidby Bynum and Eckles
or Cleveland or any other of the gold
standard crnks, I should not have been
surprised and certainly should not have
thought of criticising it. But in the
mouth of a professed silver advocate it
is such a giving away of position and
argument as to threaten the most
serious injury, unless exposed and de
nounced by those in whose behalf it is
assumed to be spoken. We are pre-
pared to meet our open enemies but we
cannot safely tolerate the Endorsement
of their theories by those regarded as
our advocates and protesting Loyalty to
the cause of silver restoration. Posi-

these extracts fairly present your
views, then you have no right longer
to pose as a friend of silver. Your
scheme is not only impracticable,

something for silver which are contin-

United States independently of Other
nations, you should take the frs
opportunity to say so distinctly. There
is no halfway house in which you, more
than any one else, can take shelter. The
issue is simple and admits of no compro

THEY WILL NEVER be HEARD.


It is tritely suggested by the st. Louis

were In the trenches be summoned to tes-
tify before the war investigating commits

in the trenches knows whether the beef
given him was good or bad. wholesome or
rotten. Probably he can not say whether
1t had been chemically treated. He Will
not discourse learnedly about boric acid,
gaiicylic acid and other chemical com
pounds and preparations whose names wise
men roll under their tongues like Juicy
morsels Of exclusive information. Prob
ably he wouldn't know boric acid should

taste 1t. but he does know whether or not
he liked the beef; and II he didn't like 1t,
he knows why. =
The men who fought in the trenches have
never yet had their day in court and the

which controls the pending investigation
have no intention of placing them on thu

probably never heard OF 1t before, but It's
a fact. Just the same.
1t was when the force bill was UP in the

thing entered the assailants mind
Tho incident is valuable as illustrating
one feature OF the oppressive spirit that
IS too rapidly developing in our courts.
The practice OF brow-beating has become
almost as much an element In our court
trials as the lawyers pleadinss. Citizens
are forced to 90 upon the witness stand
and, regardless OF how conscientious or
reputable they may be. or how indifferent
as to the result OF the trial, they are often
compelled to submit to insulting ques-
lions and insinustions and sometimes
vilihcation. uttered frequently in bolster
would do credit to a prize fighter. Siren
uous efforts are made to intimidate and
confuse him In order that he may be In
duced to contradict himself. He IS for the
time as helpless as a man in chains. His
only source Of protection is the judge,
and It is too often the case that the Judge
refuses to interpose his authority in be-
half Of the witness.
The court refusing to shield him from
such viiihcation. his only method OF re-
dress is such as was adopted In the case
above cited and in order to avail himself
OF that he must violate the law. The
brow beating lawyer may suffer more OF
less from a castigation. but the Judge VINO
is primarily responsible for 1t all incurs
no penalty whatever.
Besides being discredItable to the lega
profession and to the judiciary, this GUS
tom--for it has become a custom of brow
beating witnesses tends to defeat the end.

The charge made by senator in the
Montana legislature ito the effect that
every member who voted for the s,icceas-

shame in the breast of every honest man
and to inspire universal contempt both
for the senatorial corruptionlst and the
creatures who were bought like cattle at
SO much per head.
II the National senate would deny the
Montana senator a seat in the body 1t

He WINS Convicted of killing Tom
sf s Murray.
waxahachie. Texas. January 27.-The
jury gave Julius Watson two years in the
penltentiary, reducing the charge to man
slaughter. Watson was unmoved.
The court took up the cnse of VIII
Bruce, char ged with the killing of Tom
Rome; Bruce pleaded not guilty to the
charge as read. A jury was secured to-
night,
T. a. Bynum testified that he heard Wat
son tell the man walking in front of HIN
to hold up his hshds, but did not know the
rhn in 'front.' of Watson at that time;
Watson made Tom Murray walk down TO
the branch near his house at Oak and shot
him twice in the back of the head with q
pistol; this was on December II, 1898.
Watson gave himself up and stated that
he was forced TO kill Murray because of
Murray's intimacy with his (Watson's)
wife.
