Fresh Gold Crops.

There are several localities where
gold may be said to grow every year,
or in other words, where fresh de-
posts are to be found annually.
One such district is the Edmonton
country, in the Canadian northwest.
where, after the spring iioods,from the
same banks and benches Of the Sas-
katchewan river there every
year considerable gold is taken out
by a few diggers, who make their liv-
ing that way.
But the most conspicuous and ip-
terestiDg case Of this sort is to Is zeei
near lchHpg in the province of HUI
peh, China. For many centuries past
each year gold hes been washed out
Of the banks Of coarse gravel on each
side Of the river Han, and III the
auriicrous district there Is a village
called Li-kiu.tien, which mcaus gold

Reno last evening subpoeninS wit

o so REMEDY.

.g
The Reno Journal in commenting
upon the interview with Senator
Jones. published in these columns
last week, says:
-1he Senator confesees his ipabil-
ity TO cope with the trust problem,
although III a general way he Is OPP
posed to them. Probably the Senator
had AN idea that a surfeit OF 'pro;ec-
ton was the proper remedy Tor the
evil. This would appear rs a fair
reasonable Inference from the fact
that he voted for the Dmgley Law
which taxes all articles manufactured
By tie monopolies to which he says
he is opposed, at such rates Us TO
render importation impossible. As
the Senator's remedy does not seem
TO lie "a bowling ucces and rs he ac-
knowledges his inability to apply any
other remedy, why wouldn't it be a
good plan for the Nevadans to hunt
up some resident Of the State OF eli
gibie age and other constitutional re-
quirements, and let HIM try his hrud
1T the invention OF some kind OF a
trus.-breaking machIne? 1t would
at least be well enough to look over
the matter and having arrived at a
conclusion, possibly a mau may be
found among the ten thousand voters
OF the State, who could pass consti.u.
tinnal muster in the matters requisite
Ia entitic him to hold down a chair in
the upper house OF our national Con-
gress. The suggestion Is worth think
ing about at all events
The Journals suggestion is a good
N We though. il strange when We
read the interview. that a nan with
Senator Jones experience in public
affairs could not figure out some way
by which the trusts could be brought
under tine contro! OF the law. II be,
with all his experience, can suggest
no remedy. the people OF the State
would lose nothing by sending some
one else Ia the Senate when his term
expires. II nothing would be lost, the
State would not suffer by the change.

MILITARY RULE.

There is no free press in Porto Ri
co. The military director has put 4
curb on il. lie has told it what to
publish and what TO exclude, II
must reflect the military government
and not the people. IL seems that
our officers prefer the Spanish meth
od to any other for the government OF
conquered provinces. II Il free press
is prohibited in the provinces how
long viii It be before militarism will
suppress it at home? Some people
claim that :he press is not free in our
cities; that it is Owned and controll-
81 10y somebody and that it must cx-
press no opinion contrary to the
wishes Of its masters. That is par
italy true. The daily papers have
Leen bought with a arice. They are
owned by a ring, Il trust or a poll
tician. There is hardly an exception
to this, but they are free just tile
same because there is nothing to pre-
vent them from selling out again to a
higher bidder.
So far the government has not at
tempted to muzzle the home news
paper, but at the present rate o: pro.
erosion i'll imperial methods it will
not be very long before there Is a
