CHARGE AND ANSWER.

We notice that among the claims
allowed by the State Board of Exam.
liners is n of S75 granted Attorney
W. ID. Jones for travelling expenses
as a member of the State Board of
Equalization. We observed, also,
that while Messrs. Sadler and Davis
we're going about the State in the
performance of their duties as MEM
bers of that board, Mr.. Jones was in
Nye county engaged in the patriotic
duty of assisting Senator Ernst to
escape payment of his taxes to that
county.
Upon what grounds does Attorney
Jones base his claim for SIS as trav-
cling expenses as q member of the
State Board of Equalization when all
the e~qualizing he did was for a re-
tainer?
1t ia bad enough when q State in
vests $1,000 in a six-bit gold brick,
but when it gets to paying him addi-
tional amounts for services that he
does not even pretend to perform. it
is time to call q halt.-Virginia City
Report, Oct. 20.
The article in last evenings Re-
port does Attorney General Jones
an injustice. Some months ago the
Board of Examiners allowed the
Governor, Attorney = General and
State Controller s75 each for travel
ing expenses when travelling about
the State as equalizers. The war;
rant drawn in Mr.. Jones' favor is
still in the Controllers office. 1t
has never been called for and re-
mains uncashed.
Nj. Jones was retained by George
Ernst in his tax suit before he was
elected Attorney : General.-Carson

GOLD BRICKS.

Carson Appeal: 1t nov transpires
that several good-sized gold bricks
we're worked off on some guileless
politicians in the McMillan-S adler
contest. Several men who had an
itching for the wearing of the Sena-
torial toga were approached by
agents Of the contestant and told that
if they would put up some money for
the sinews of war, that in case Of the
death Of Stewart or Jones the party
putting up the dough would be APP
pointed by Mcmillan. 1t is not
claimed, however, that Mcmillan had
any knowledge of the manner in
which this money was raised, and
was in no way a party to the TRANSACT
ton. After several different men
had been taken in by this moe little
scheme, the thing got out somehow
and there was trouble in camp. 1t is
said that five prominent Republicans
bit at the tempting bait, and then
the word went down the line to be-
ware of the gold brick man, and the
gold brick factory was obliged to
close down.
The parties who gave up quanti-
ties Of the long green in anticipation
of filling the Senatorial shoes are ad.
vised to get their gold bricks to-
gether and ship them to Paris as
soon as possible to show the French
what we can do in that line. They
should be placed in close proximity
to the artificial gem and paste dia-
mond exhibit and ought to attract a
crowd.
By charging a full price for admis-
sion. the owners of the bricks might
be able to reimburse Governor Sad-
Ter for the money it cost him to
defend his title to his seat.

Michael Davite Will Resign.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-Michael Davitt.
Irish Nationalist member from South
Mayo, announced in the House OIL
Commons to-day that he would resign
tomorrow, as a protest against the
Boer war. Mr.. Davitt denounced the
lingo press and said that the war, for
the meanest and most mercenary
aims, would be known as the greatest
crime of the century. He declared
that if he had been offered home rule
and an Irish republic he would not
have accepted them il accompanied
by the condition that he vote for the
war. AS a protest he would ask to be
relieved from attendance in the House.
He had been in the House for five
years trying to obtain justice for Ire
land, and he left it convinced that
''no cause of justice and right would
have the support of the House unless
backed by force"

NEVADA FARMERS WARNED.

Samuel B. Doten Of the State Uni
versity agricultural department has
issued a bulletin warning Nevada
farmers Of the danger lurking in the
Russian thistle, a weed which has
recently made its appearance on Cali
fornia ranches. Following are extracts
from the concluding paragraphs OF the
bulletin:
al call the Russian thistle an ugly
pest deliberately for where il grows
it exhausts the soil OF its nitrogen and
potash, thus robbing other plants Of
their food and the room to grow in.
Its thorns make it a very great
nuisance in the handling OF the crop;
and in crops of hay and grain il chokes
and tangles in the harvesting mschin-
cry, pricks the legs of men and horses
and more o. less spoils the hay after it
is cut.
To-day the farmers of the Truckee
Meadows stand face 10 face with this
question: Shall we admit the Russian
thistle to our gardens and our fields ?
The pest stands at the western gate
way to our valley, ready to be scatter
ed far and wide by our dusty Washoe
zephyrs. viii the farmers permit
this, or will they meet and act with
vigor that two years from now every
trace OF Russian thistle will have dis
appeared from this locality"

wireless telegraphy in operation in
South Africa within three weeks,
when, it is hoped, the difficulties ex.

right In his belief that the circulating notes
provided by such system would tend to rem
