SUGGESTION NOT COOP:

The scheme proposed by the White
Pine News for raising funds with
which to build u residence for the
President OF the University would be
capital one for keeping poor Neva-
da boys and girls away from our high
est educational institution. The
statement that an additional registra-
ton fee of $50 for each student
would not be burdensome is erron-
cons. Labratory, guarantee and
breakage fees which must be paid at
the time OF registration, already make
the prospective student consult his
pocketbook carefully, and an addi-
tiona, charge Of $50 would be equiva-
lent to his paying tuition. The idea
OF providing free scholarships for the
needy students is philanthrcpic, but
not to be desired. The present sys-
tenn OF giving work to young men
and women who are unable to pay
boarding expenses cannot be improv-
ed upon. The Nevada State Univer-
sity is already famous throughout the
west rs splendid school for Nevada
boys who are unable to meet the ex-
pense which is put upon them by the
greater Universities. 1t is this that
makes Nevada able to beast OF more
college graduates to its population
than any State in the Union.-Reno

That President Mckinley is opposed

tion now being visited upon the in
nocent Filipinos, he has right to
say that | am for Mckinley. II Cen
eral Alger is informed that Mckinley
Is opposed to trusts and to legislation
which fosters, encourages and creates
them, and in favor Of legislation to
restrict them, then J am closer to
Mckinley than has been generally
believed, IL General Alger is assur-
ed that Mckinley is not il touch and

THE SOUTH AFRICAN TROUBLE.

Tho Bee gives the following as the
true inwardness OF the trouble Eng
land is having in South Africa:
To understand the trouble in
Southern Africa, it mast he remem-
bcred TINT what are called UItland-
ers or foreigners, went there to open
mines, construct and operate rail-
roads, etc. They did so on the condi-
tions laid down by the Government
OF that country. Among those condi-
tions which they accepted from the
Bocrs. md were glad To accept, WIS
one taxing them Il certain percentage
on the incomes derived frum the de-
velopmeut of the Resources OF the
country.
This has been the law which the
British Government finds particularly
objectionable. And yet similar
law was enacted by the Canadian par
liment. and is today in force in the
klondike country, where they make
American miners pay to the CanGd
ian Government II certain percentage
of the amount OF gold which they dig
from the land.
Beyond that, however, the Uitlund-
ers on the Transvaal asked for a GER
tain kind Of citizenship So that they
might eyadc this tax and ultimately
control the Government. The Beers
very wisely declined to accept the
terms Of the Uitlandcrs, who wanted
to still remain foreigners and yet
have voice and probably the leo.l-
ing one, in the Government. Tho
Bocrs nre wertcctly willing that the
Uitlandcrs shall become citizens OF
tho }oer Republic, but in doing 80
they must forswear allegiance to any
other country and become citizens in
