NO FIXED PRICE FOR CITY GAS NOW.
The city is not paving any bills for gas now.
The situation is as follows: In 1898 Commits

lighting and practically unchanged prices for
street lighting. although the gas war has
greatly reduced tho price to private consumers
Commissioners Kearny was about to award
the contracts when he was restrained BY an in
junction issued by Justice Maddox In Brook

Maddox reserved his decision. While this in
junction is in force no contracts can be let.
In the meantime the city is getting its gas on
credit, The price which will be pa for it will
be settled later. The bills must be audited.
and II they are considered excessive Mr..
Kearny says they will be held up and the
companies will have to sue for their money.

THE REV. MR.. MACCLELLAND
Charges Against Him Fail Of Proof, but
His Letter of Dismissal Withheld.

In the report Of the special committee Of the
Brooklyn Presbytery which was appointed to
investigate the charges against the Rev.
George l.. MacC!elland. the former pastor of
the Emmanuel Baptist Church in FIatbush,
it is said that while some Of tho Rev.
Mr.. MacClelIands actions had not been
above criticism. all the grave charges against
him had failed OF proof He is declared to have
acted unwiscly in taking sides in the factional
controversy in the church: and owing to his
refusal to bind himself not to accept
another call within the jurisdiction Of the
Brooklyn rreshytcry. his letter Of dismissal
will be held for the present. The opponents OF
the Rev. Mr.. Mar'lelland are dissatisfied with
the mild character VI the report.

RENO, New, November I, 1898.

Hon. F. G.. NEwLANDS, Reno, Men,:
SIR: Your failure to procure legisla-
ton in the House in behalf of Nevada
has excited some inquiry. In order that
the people may judge of your useful
ness as a Representative of Nevada I
will state from the record that the only
bill you had passed through the House
during the three terms in Congress is a
bill for $500, money due Marshal Moore
for services rendered after the expiration
of his term of Office. During you
three terms, and previous to the last
session, you voted Oh various roll-calls
on the passage of bills, joint resolutions,
etc, I47 times. You were absent during
roll calls on passage of bills, joint reso-
lutions, ETC., SIS times. This record is
from August 7, 1898, when you first took
your seat, until July "a, 1897.
Mr.. Newlands, this is a bad record for
a Nevada Representative, and if there
were no other reason, this inattention to
business on your part would account for
your utter failure to accomplish any
thing for the benefit of the state.
You have dealt unfairly with the peo-
pie Of Nevada in other ways. You have
constantly published in the papers, and
I understand you paid for it, an account
of pensions obtained for soldiers. You
did not obtain these pensions. They
were granted by the department, and
any part that you may have taken in it
was mere routine work and consisted in
referring the letters of applicants to the
proper departments and requesting
favorable action, which is the work OF

"Senator Stewart has made an excel
lent representative of the state. He is
always alert, always faithful, and his
every instinct is with the common
masses of the people. The defeat of
Senator Stewart at this time would be
interpreted as a decline in silver senti-
ment even in Nevada, and would be an
injury to the cause in the East. 1t would
be taken up by the gold press. and the
argument would be put forward that the
silver cause is dead, when those who
watch over its interests are rejected in
its very stronghold. In the East there
is not a man who was with us In 1896
who is not still with us. At this par
ticular juncture it would be a misfortune
to defeat Senator Stewart, who has al
ways been straightforw ward in his stand
on the silver question-always hewed
right to the line."-/Ohn z. Jones.

He Stands Pat.

Senator-elect +. P. Hardesty, in con-
versation with the Herald reporter this
week, said he was most unalterably op-
posed to the proposition to elect any
man to the United States Senate who
not man enough to his
candidacy before election. Stewart, he
said, was the choice of the Silver party,
and no man who was elected to the legis-
lature on the Silver party platform could
honorably vote for any other candidate
than William NJ. Stewart.
81 understand" said Mr.. Hardesty,
that a certain paper will shortly publish
a ballot and ask the people of Elko
county to vote for one of the candidates
whose name appears on the ticket. l
do not favor such a course. l came out
fairly and squarely for Stewart when l
accepted the nomination of the Silver
party of Elko county for state senator,
and in every town and valley that l
visited during the campaign 1 declared
myself a Stewart man, and was elected.
The majority of the voters of Elko
county knew how 1 stood on the Sena-
torial question and they voted for me.
"You can say for me that 1 shall carry
out the wishes of my constituents and
cast my vote for w. M. Stewart

your clerk and required no action on
your part.
Nou also allowed your friends and
the press of this state to claim for you
the authorship of the resolution annex
ing the Sandwich Islands. The reso-
luton for the annexation Of the Sand
wich Islands was carefully prepared by
the committee on foreign relations of
the Senate, and after much deliberation
was reported to that body on the 10Th
day of March, 1898, and placed upon
the calendar. The wal revenue bill oc-
cupied the attention of the Senate and
occasioned a delay in passing the an
nexation resolution. On the 4th day of
May, 1898, nearly two months after it
was reported to the Senate, you intro
duced in the House the identical reso-
luton without the change of a word,
which was reported by Senator Davis,
chairman of Senate committee on for
elgn relation, and which was then on
the Senate calendar. 1t was we'll known
at the time that the majority of the
House was with the administration for
the annexation of the islands and the
Senate resolution passed the House ex-
actly as it was reported to the Senate.
notwithstanding these facts you allowed
it to be published without contradiction
that you were the author of the resolu.
ton.
MIR. N~ewlands, you pose as an anti
railroad man, and to prove that you are
such you had printed a speech against
the Central Pacific and circulated it in
Nevada. The people, however, under
stand you better than you imagine
They know that you represent the
Sharon estate, which was largely made
up from the profits of the Virginia and
Truckee railroad. which road was as
largely subsidized by the counties of Sto-
rey and Ormsby and the Comstock Min
ing Companies, averaging it per mile, as
was the Central Pacific. Your fares and
freights on the v. & T. have always
been double those on the Central Pacific
for the anne service. Your road has been
obliged to maintain a power nj and cor.
rupt lobby in Carson to enable 1t to do
gross injustice to the people. If you
will assist even at this late day in reduc-
ing the outrageously high charges on
the V. & T. the people may forgive you
for your attempt t deceive them.
Nevada has important interests to be
represented at Washington, and re-
quires an industrious and faithful Rep
reseutative who will not deceive the
people by pretending to serve them
when he does not, or claiming credit
which does not belong to him. If your
course in Congress we're known to the
people of Nevada, as shown by the
record, they would certainly choose
somebody else, because they cannot
afford to 60 On unrepresented.
