COLONEL CHM.

A good deal is being said in the
State papers about Col. Chinn oil
Kentucky being in Carson to take g
hand in the Senatorial fight on be
half OF Senator Stewart. He is pic
tured rs desperate by the New.
lands papers and by the Appeal as .
mild-manDered gentleman who was
sent to Nevada by the silver men oi
the South to look out for the interests
OF the white metal in the Senatorial
fight.
The INDEPENDENT does not know
the true Inwardness Of Coz. Chinn's
presence in Carson, whether it be as
a body guard to Senator Stewart or
as an agent Of the Southern silver
men. But it is free to admit that
whatever the object may be. it does
not believe that his presence for any
purpose is for the best interests of
Senator Stewart or the silver cause
While the INDEPENDENT is giving
Senator Stewart loyal support in
his struggle for the Senatorehip, it is
not compelled to endorse acts that he
may commit that it believes to be
wrong. II the Senator had anything
to d" with bringing Col. Chinn from
Kentucky to assist him in his fight.
he should at once undo it by sending
him out Of the tate. If he liz a des-
perado. as the Newlands papers
charge. he can be of no benefit to the
Senator. The days OF that class have
long since gone by. If he is gentle.
man. as we believe him to be, he can
not have any influence IN shaping the
Senatorial fight. He knows scarcely
anything OF I" people or their needs,
and has no right to mix in our ar-
fairs. The Senator should see this
and, It he was Instrumental in bring
ing the Colonel to the State, he should
furnish him transportation to his
home at once.
II. as the Appeal says. Colonel
oman IL III Carson ns the representa-
tive OF the Southern silver men, they
shout be requested to withdraw him
at Jnce. His presence there can be
OF no benefit to the silver cause and
may be positive detriment. The
people of Nevada are competent to
choose their Senator without the adj
vice OF any one from Kentucky, Cali
fornid or elsewhere

For a Merchant Marine.

The value of an American merchant
marine to the extension of our COM
mercial trade and the strengthening of
our power upon the sea invites the inn
mediate action OF congress. Our ma
tional development Will be one sided
and unsatisfactory so long as the re-
markable growth of our inland indus
tries remains unaccompanied by prog
ress on the seas There is no lack of
constitutional authority for legislation
which shall give to the country mari
time strength commensurate with its
industrial achievements and with it's
rank among the nations of the earth.
The past year has recorded eXcep-
tional activity in our shipyards. and
shipbuilding are abundant Advanced
legislation for the protection of our
seamen has been enacted. Our coast
trade, under regulations wisely framed
at the beginning of the government
and since, shows results for the past
fiscal year unequalled in our records or
those of any other power We shall
fail to realize our opportunities how
ever, If we complacently regard only
matters at home and blind ourselves to
the necessity of securing our share in
the valuable carrying trade of the
world
Last year American vessels trans
ported a smaller share of our exports
and imports than during any former
year in all our history, and the meas
ure Of our dependence upon foreign
shipping was painfully manifested to
our people. Without any choice of our
own, but from necessity. the depart
ments of the government charged with
military and naval operations in the
East and West Indies had to obtain

Chicago, Dec. 5.-William f. Miller,
whilon Of the Franklin Syndicate Of
Brooklyn, was captured yesterday
morning in Montreal. News OF his ar
rest was conveyed To the main office Of
the Mooney & Boland Detective Agen-
cy here in a brief telegram from Gem
ega Manager William Sutheriana.
Early in the morning Mr.. sutherland
wired his office that Miller had been
located in Montreal and that the ifietl-
tiflcatien was complete. Later N the
day another messase announced That

been. safely lodged behind he bars.
No details have been received com
cerning the chase and final location ct
Miller, who left BROOKLYN on Nov. y At
the very moment a policeman had en-
tered his office for the purpose OF ar
resting him upon charge OF swind-
ling. 1t is estimated that III the year Of
its existence the syndicate received ne
less than $500 600 from depositops and

HAY w ARD DEAD
senator Elect From Nebraska Sue
cumbs to Lon. Illness.

Nebraska City, Dec. 5.-senator Hay
ward died at half past s this morning.
Omaha, Dec. I'm democratic and
populist circles it is generally UNDER
stood that Hayward's successor is al
ready decided upon. 1t is given out
that G.. NJ. Hitchcock. editor and pro-
prietor of the Omaha World Herald. is
to be the man.
When it became evident that Hay
ward was likely to die it soon began
to be noised about that Mr. Hitchcock
was an aspirant, but this was not
taken seriously at first. Now it is given
out chat the appointment is certain to
go TO him. Allen has just been elected
to the district bench, and Hitchcocks s
friends insist that he should serve out
at least a portion of his term. Hitch
cock and his democratic supporters in
sist that the place is due To the demo-
Gratis on account of their support of a
populist candidate for governor last
year and a populist candidate for SUI
preme judge this year.
The legislature which elects Hay
wards successor will also elect sue
cessor to Senator Thurston, and this,
the democrats say, will give Allen a
place IN the senate with the aid of DEM
ocratic votes.

tion offered at the First
Session.
Reading of Presidents Message in
Both Houses Death of Senator
Elect Hayward.

| Washington, Dec. 5.--The galleries of
the house were almost as crowded as
yesterday. The debate on the Roberts
case was the attraction, overshadowing
even the reading of the presidents
message. Three fourths of the specta-
tors We're women. After the reading of
the journal, Cannon from the commit
tee to wait on the president, reported
that the president would communicate
in Writing. Immediately thereafter
Maj. Pruden presented the message
and it was at once read. IThes full text
lof the message is given elsewhere.l
When the Roberts case comes up in
the house this afternoon it Will be un-
der an agreement by which each side
shall have an hour. and Il half hour Will
l.be allowed Roberts for personal de-
tense. He has his original certificate
of naturalization, which eminent law
yers pronounce perfectly regular.
AT the conclusion of the reading OF
the message the republicans gave a
nearty round OF applause. On motion of
| Payne, republican, OF New York, floor
| eader, the message was referred to the
ioInmttee Of the whole on the state Of

speaker then laid before the house Tay-

I reasury's Strong Condition.

The strong condition OF the treasury
With respect to cash on hand and the
favorable showing made by the reve-
nues have made it possible for the sec
retary of the treasury to take action
under the provisions of section 1894, Re-
vised Statutes, relating to the sinking
fund. Receipts exceeded expenditures
for the first five months of the current
fiscal year by $1S,41s,3s9.91. and, as
mentioned above, the secretary of the
treasury estimates that there will be a
surplus of approximately s40000,000 at
the end of the year. Under such con-
ditions it was deemed advisable and
proper to resume compliance with the
provisions of the sinking fund law,
which for eight years has not been
done because of the deficiency in the
revenue. The treasury department
therefore offers to purchase during No
vember $25, 900 900 of the per cent loans
of 1904 or the per cent funded loan of
1907, at the current market price. The
amount offered and purchased during
November was $1s.4OS, 800. The pre-
MUM paid by the government on such
purchases was s2.263,521 and the net
saving in interest was about s2,SS5,00O.
The success of this operation was suf-
ficient to induce the government to
continue to offer to purchase bonds to
and including the 23d day Of December,
inst. unless the remainder of the $25,-
100000 called for should be presented in
the meantime for redemption. In
creased activity in industry with it's
welcome attendant-a large employ
ment of labor at higher wages-gives to
the body of people a larger power to
absorb the circulating medium. 1t is
further true that year by year, with
larger areas of land under cultivation
the increasing volume of agricultural
products, corn, wheat, calls for larger
volume of money supply. This is espe-
cially noticeable at the crop harvests
and crop moving period.

with your countrymen the death of
Vice President Hobart, who passed
from this life on the morning of No

rests in eternal peace. His private life
was pure and elevated, While his pub
lie career was ever distinguished by
large capacity, stainless integrity and
exalted motives. He has been removed
from the high office which he honored
and dignified, but his lofty character.
his devotion to duty, his honesty Of
purpose and noble virtues remain with
us as priceless legacy and example.

only years in all our history when the
products of our manufactures sold

mates that the receipts for the current

country have brought gold into more

now almost entirely paid in that coin.
