Against Senator Stewart.
ANYTHING TO GET OFFICE.
RENO, New, November /, IS9

RENO, New, N0VeW6ef /, 1898.
Hon. F. G. NEwLANDs, Reno, New:
SIR: If l OF any other gentleman in
the state should pursue the course you
have with regard to the various nomina-
tons for Congress which you have re-
ceived and prevented, l would be de-
nounced as a trickster, but l refrain
from using any such term with refer
nee 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
outstanding your letter to Secretary
Gage. Your friends, Mr.. 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
you Endorsed the platform which is
highly eulogistic Of Senator Stewart,
recounting his faithful services in the
Senate and pledging you to support him
and every other nominee On 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. o in
dorsed the ~denunciation of Senator
Stewart in that platform as a non
resident when you knew full we'll tina
at the time you came to the state o
Nevada he was in the Senate at Wash
ington and you rented his house to &C
9, quire a residence and run for Congress.
- The Silver party platform and tn
Democratic party platform made silve
the paramount issue, but you were NO
j, satisfied with two nominations. Fror
:, the best information obtainable l be
-, lieve and charge that you manipulate
9 the Republican convention and pre-
: vented the nomination of a member {
G Congress, and that the Republica
/ nominee for governor, Mr.. Mcmillan
4 assisted you in the scheme and declare
!, before the caucus of his party that b
. would not run for governor if the part
nominated a candidate for Congress.
In view of the foregoing, is it unfa
= to presume that you have also indorse
the Republican platform? The peop
would like to know if there is any pla
- form embodying any principle that yc
would not indorse if by that lea ye
could get Office?
Yours, truly,
THOMAS WREN.

evidently intend to convey the idea
that there has been too much of it pro-
duced, and you exercise your ingenuity
in suggesting devices by which silver
production may be curtailed. First, a
seigniorage 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 etfec-
tive because those now privately owned
"will soon be exhausted" Now, if
| this had been saidby Bynum and Eckles
or Cleveland or any other of the gold
standard cranks, l should not have been
sur prised 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 II but we
cannot safely tolerate the Endorsement
If their theories by those regarded as
our advocates and protesting loyalty to
the cause of silver restoration. Posi-
bly,, Mr.. Newlands, you may be able to
give some explanation of your remark
: able language and if so you cannot
begin to make it too soon. II
these extracts fairly present YOU
views, then you have no right Longer
to pose as a friend of silver. You
scheme is not only impractlcable
one of those i~llusory devices ''to d.
something for silver" which are contin
$ !ually bobbing up in goldbug literature
, but is an absolute surrender of all tina
is vital in silver advocacy. When a ma
5 who assumes to be a champion OF sllve
talks about a regulation of coinage t
e preserve parity and deprecates any ez
pansion of the money volume by whic
' prices might be increased and absolutel
:, suggests a limitation upon productio
q as a means Of preserving the purchasln
power of gold, he belongs on the othe
d side and if he persists in carry
ing a silver flag, deserves a cour
n martial. If you are in favor of tn
o free and unlimited coinage of 81
e yer at the present ratio by til
y United States independently of oth'
-, nations, you should take the fir
St opportunity to say so distinctly. The
is no halfway house in which you. mo-
d. than any one else, can take shelter. II
" issue is simple and admits of no compr
st mise. Those who are unqual1fedly II
he it are on one side, and those who are n
he including the whole scale from Clev
~ land to Secretary Gage, are on the 9th
side. Mr.. Newlands, you can choo
our side, but 1 protest against an etc
i'll to occupy both. 1t is as impossible
be serve both God and Mammon now as
Oh was two thousand years ago.
m Yours respectfully,
&c, THOMAS WREN.

Since Newlands recommends the
seigniorage on silver coinage as pre-
ventive against production, he ought to
aid Secretary Gagei in making the figures
" hich will show just what rate of
seigniorage would be necessary to make
silver production an injury instead of
a benefit.

What if It should turn out that New
lands is really such a leatherhead as to
not understand his own letter to Gage?

1t Game on His ~"FOrtunate Day" and
While q Terrific Storm
= Was Raging. X

Cromwell was now SO years old.
Eight years before he had written to
his wife that he felt the infrmities of
cge stealing over him. His robust en-
ergies had been consumed by the eX-
haustinC duties Of his career. His govt
seemed to leave his leg and retire into
his body, and for four or five days he
was racGcd with intolerable pain in his
bowels and back, making it impossible
for him to sleep. lie rode out once at
the head of his life guard. ard spoke
kindly with George Fox, fav0ring the
fullest freedom Of worship for the
Quakers. "Bcfore anne to him." said
Fox, - saw and felt a wait Of death go
forth against him."
While tossing on his bed he repined
for his lear Elizabeth; and then his
thoughts swept back to Robert, dead
at Fe!stCd school 10 years ago; and he
vainly strove to check his tears with
the solace # that Scripture which he
knew in whole by heart.
The belief that had followed Crom-
well al through his life that he was
privileged to hold personal communion
with the MIST High God was strangely
manifested in these last days. He be-
sought the Lord that for the good OF
His people He would spare his life yet a
little longer. He then assured his coun-
selOrs that his prayc: had been granted,
using 4 manner of such mysterious con
fidence that his hearers were trans
ported with Amusement. Fleetwood
sent a quick message to Henry Cr0m-
we'll in Ireland that his highness had
made very great discoveries of the Lord,
and had received of being
restored; to which Henry replied that
the communication had given him some
relief.
But there came a night when all saw
that the end was approaching. They
tried to get him to name his successor,
and in his thick death-gasps they af-
fected to believe that they heard him
say "Richard." They offered him a
drink. 1T is not my design to drink
or sleep" he said, but my design is to
max what haste | can to be gone All
night he tossed and all day he drew his
heavy suspiratiOns. Tie widest storm
that England had known was raging
without. 1t was the anniversary OF
his great victory Of Dunbar-the ami
versary, too, of his great victory OF
Worcester. And on this, his fortunate
day." his spirit passed out amid the
lightning.-Samuel Harden Church, il

Building a Railroad in Africa with
the Aid of an Orchestra In
stead Of a Boss.

Building a railroad in the SOudan is
not carried on to the sound of the voice
of an Irish boss directing a gang of
Italian labOrers. AS becomes the mild
er atmosphere of the tropics, a railroad
in those regions is built to the las
civious pleasing of a lutte" or the
African equivalent. The "~sofas' are
the working people and the "griots"
are the musical ones. The sofas" will
not work unless the "griots' play. So
every gang of men has its orchestra.
The "griots" play on flutes and rude
harps the peculiar "rag-time" tunes of
Africa, and the picks and shovels of the
sofas" go industriously as long as the
music lasts. Let the music stop and
the work slackens and her fails alto
gether.
Fancy a gang Of italian laborers en-
ployed in the construction of a line of
railroad in the United States insisting
that I'll Trovatore" should be played
for them while they worked. In the
Soudan it has been found impossible
to get work out of the natives in the
construction of railroads unless music
was furnished. Every contractor who
has tried it has failed. So to the sound
of music the steel rails are penetrating
the Congo region and forcing their way
through the Soudan. To every gang of
! 40 or so men there are assigned two
harp players and a flute player. AS
long as the music keeps up the black
! laborers dc not seem to feel fatigue.
Generally the musicians get tired be-
fore the laborers do. The music pro-
duced by these cheerers of labor would
not be inspiring to a white man, for it
is filled with that peculiar plaintiveness
which one hears in the negro songs OF
the south. To the Africans, however,
the tunes seem to be an INSPIRATION

NOT ENTHUSIASTIC FOR QUAY.
Friends of the senator Only Luke

Friends of the senator Only Luke
warm IN HIS Behalf.
New York, Dec. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Apathy
among Senator Quay's friends is max.
ing the outlook in the senate rather
ominous for him. Senators Chandler
and Penrose appear TO be the only per-
sons who are doing any active eancass
ing in his behalf and they are by no
means encouraged by the progress they
are making.
The lack of interest was forcibly
illustrated in the case of a senator who
was approached With the suggestion
that he make u strong speech in behalf
of the constitutional right of a gov
ernor to appoint when a legislature had
failed to elect. This influential senator
had spoken in favor OF Senator Corbeti
and was urged 10 repeat the same
arguments that he advanced in that
gentlemans behalf.
He has declined the request on the
ground that when he supported Mr.
Corbett both Senators Quay and Pen
rose refused to vote to seat him. The
senator stated that he would vote to
seat MIR. Quay, but he did not see how
the Pennsylvania senators could con-
sistently insist upon his taking charge
of the case on the floor of the senate,
1t is becoming more manifest every
day that MIR. Quay has considerable
canvassing to do to make his seat GER
tainty. There are too many names in
the non-committal' column to make the
outcome certain for him at his time Mr..
Quay is expected here on "Wednesday.
when it may be expected that he will
work hard for himself
One of the plans his friends are talk
ing about is TO induce sufficient num-
Der of Mr. Quay's democratic friends to
absent themselves on the day when the
final vote is taken, and in this way in
sure majority vote in his favor

New York, Dec IA London dis
patch TO the Herald says:
From Ladysmith this morning comes
news that the beleaguered garrison is
evidently not satisfied with holding its
own and awaiting the arrival of the re-
lief column. The gallant troops again
have executed a brilliant and dasning
sortie and surprise upon the Boer lines
A hill on whicn 47-inch howitzer had
been mounted was carried on Monday
night by the Second battalion of the rife
brigade and the howitzer was de-
stroyed with gun cotton On its re-
treat the British force found that the
Beers had closed in upon them. but by
using the bayonet they went through
them, causing heavy losses and sus-
tanning bat slight damage themselves
The effect of this second eminently
successful attempt to destroy the heavy
guns commanding the besieged city at
strategic points is bound TO be great.
There have not been wanting signs
that the Beers regard Ladysmith as a
very hard nut to crack, perhaps too
hard for them. Then Gen. Buller's
Concentration at Frere has undoubted-
~ caused the drawing off Of some of
the besieging commandos. These swift
and heavy strokes dealt by Gen. White,
the sudden assault and destruction of
guns and the successful withdrawal of
the British troops to their camp must
go far to convince the Beers that they
nave not accomplished much toward
compelling the towns surrender
There is still no news of Gen. Butler
advance, but Methuen's horse have re-
Iconnoitered. The Colenso railroad
bridge is now completely destroyed, but
the road bridge is still standing.
