4 Generous Gin.

The citizens OF Clover Valley met
last Thursday night at the hall, Aug.
ust 2ith. and formed an association,
the object being to acquire legally
the property offered by Mr.. Chas
Lampmau for cemetery, hall and
church. Nj. Mitchell had been ask
cd to make out articles OF incorpora.
tion and bylaws and present them to
the meeting. These articles put the
care OF the property into the hands Of
seven trustees, who for the coming
year were elected and are: Mr..
Charles Lanpman, Mr.. Abner Wise
man, Mrs. Katheryn Steele, Mr.. r. NJ.
Steele, Mr.. T. T. Wiseman, Mr.. WIN.
johnson, Mr.. Horace A. Ager.
Mr.. Lampmap's idea Is that, hav-
ing no direct heirs, after his wife and
self have given up the burdens and
cares OF earth, the income OF all his
property shall be used for the devel-
opment and care OF these noble en-
terrprises. His thought and that OF
Mrs. Lampman is the same as that OF
Mrs. Stanford, who has at last given
all her fortune and that OF her hus-
band to the University at Palo Alto.
In the museum OF the University
may HOW be seen not only the valu-
able pictures and books OF the Stan
ford mansion, but also the gifts, d.
plomas, badges, swords, etc, OF Sena.
tor Stanford, as well as the guns, sad
dies, library and playthings OF their
only son., together with the valuable
collections the family made while
travelling abroad. In a word Mrs.
Stanford is donating and removing to
the University grounds everything
she can control.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lampman's idea is
certainly very noble, and as the years
go on these institutions at Glover
will be u credit to the State, and to
Mr.. Lampman's gift will be added
the generous gifts aud worthy care Of
the best citizens OF beautiful Clover

BRYAN on TRUSTS AND ENrAN-
SION.

Col. Bryan wGs interviewed
by the Silver State Tuesday and
expressed himself us follows regard
ing trusts aud the im~perialistlc policy
Of the administration:
The trust question can scarcely be
called new; but the trusts have so
multiplied that the question assumes
an importance which it did not have
in 1896. Many who did not reccg-
uizc their menace before now see that
the industries Of the country are be-
ing so consolidated that in "a short
time Il comparatively few men will
coniro! the price OF manufactured
products, the price OF raw materials
and the rate OF wage.
The Republican leaders do not
dare to defend the trusts. and yet
they are Powerless to act against
them because OF the obligations in.
CURED by the Republican party when
i'll 1896 it collected it's campaign
fund.
MANY methods have been suggest.
Ell for the determination of trusts.
The most feasible, 1t seems to me, is
to require every corporation to obtain
a license from the Federal Govern
ment before 1t is permitted to do
business outside the State in Which
it is organized.
This license "a he granted under
conditions which will squeeze the
water out of the stock and prevent
the monopolization Of any industry.
I'm the East there is n steady
growth OF sentiment against the i'm.
perialistic policy proposed by the Re.
publicans. This nation must choose
between being II republic or an cm-
pire. This is becoming more and
more clearly recognized. While
some were carried away by the ex-
citenient attending the war,I am sure
that the second sober thought on the
part OF the people will lead them to
oppose any departure from the prin.
ciples OF se,f.government rs set forth

The imperial policy demands an
increase OF 10000 men in the stand

cost the people not less than $780,

WONT S GOLD.

In his recent plea for the s OF
gold, Hon. Ellis II. Roberts, Trensur-
er OF the United States, said:
-ObSiopsly the question OF Bankers
abont gold coin is ot,Can you get it?
but Will YOU use it? The problem is
practical and immediate. The fig
ures show that an affirmative answer
has been rendered in Il considerable
degree. with some protest, doubtless
and more or less under the stress OF
necessity. The concession is to be
made that in this part of the country
prejudice exists against the actual
handling OF goll coin because OF
sbrasioL, because Of the danger OF
mistakinG it for silver OF n like size.
and in large sums because OF its
weight. But our fellow citizens Oh
the Pacific coast prefer gold coin to
paper money and insist that It is
more convenient for daily transac-
tons. Those who travel IN Europe
testify also that the British sovereign
