From AtIin City.

Mir. Geo. l.. Rice, the only and origi- nal George, returned from Atlin City few days ago. He has the finest hotel and liquor house at Atlin and we are glad to know that he is doing splen- did business. Mir. Rice brought back photograph of some Atlin nuggets, five in all, the largest weighing over 83 ozs. and the smallest two, and one of sixteen and another thirteen.
 "How is Atlin?" asked the News man.
 'Atlin is all right and there is plenty of gold being mined there, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding"
 Mr. Rice goes back in a short time. He has real estate and business in- terests there that will keep him in that district this summer.

ALost Opportunity.

The Alaska Truth keeps pounding away at the Juneau people for not properly entertaining the congression- al parties who visited that city recent ly. If Juneau wants to keep up at the front of the procession and next to the band wagon, where she properly be- longs, she must get new head for the chamber of commerce. The Fairbanks party noticed the slight, and to our positive knowledge, one of it's members made mention of it while in Juneau. But there is no use in discussing the matter now-it is too late.

Newlands says the Republicans
passed their nomination for Congress
because they thought if they put ul
a nan 1t would force him to violate
the purity of elections law. This
proves what little faith the Republi-
cans had in Newlands' professions Of
honesty.
Newlands lays great st,ess upon
the fact that Senator Morgan asked
him for his photograph to give to
Hawaii. 1t is the same Morgan that
thinks the election of Newlands to
the Senate would be a blow to the
silver cause.
Newlands made a great play al the
gallery Tuesday night to do away
with the trusts when he got to the
Senate. 1t is useless to ask what
assurance the people have that he
would keep any such pledge.
Newlands says he made some in
quiries of 1.-The Senate which talks
SO much and does SO little" Judg-
ing from the record be has made in
the House it would do less if New
lands got there.
Newlands seems to overlook the
fact that all the crimes he alleges
against Senator Stewart were COM
mlttet before he took the pledge to
support the Senator at the Reno Con-
vention
Newlands says that he regards Sec
rotary of the Treasury Gage as an
honest and able man. What show
then would the Silver cause have
with such a Senator fcom Nevada.
Newlands says to the Republicans,
II am a protectionist." Then whv
did he accept a nomination from the
Democrats on a platform that de
nounced protection?
Speaking of the Senate Newlands
says that garrulous body had talked
itself almost to death" This seems
like i1ony to anyone who heard New
lands w speech.
Newlands says in the campaign he
V alluded to the Hawaiian resolu-
ton. Thus by his silence he was
wiling to accept applause for the
work done by another.
Newlands advises Democrats, Re-
psblicans and Independents to caucus
together and vote for him for Senator.

yer votes.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-20

Now, my friends, l wish to say
with reference TO this question that l
make no attack whatever upon the
sincerity or integrity of Senator
SteWart's record regarding silver. I
recog nlze the fact that he has been a
pron'n ent factor in the agitation for
many years. I recognize the fact aud
have IN the past, and have so ex-
pressed myself, that his defeat might
be regarded as a defeat OF tie silver
cause in this State. "-(Newlands'
recert speech at Carson.)
N ylands says Stewart brought a
perjured and distorted record of nv
Legislative life" AS this record was
taken from the official files of Con-
gfess, Mr.. Newlands should demand
an investigation of the journal clerk
that would commit such a crime.
Newlands, in claiming that some
of his men voted for Stewards candi-
date for Speaker of the Assembly,
should bear in mind the old adage
"never count your chickens before
they are hatched."
Ne vlands says anyone can make
a record in Congress by answering
roll-c4lls and simply following the
leader. Why shouldn't Nevada send
a leaCer there who can make a record
without following someone else?
Nevlands says: 1T is not my
habit to evade an issue" When we
recall his flight from the Dingley bill
the Band bill, the indianapolis bill,
what then would Mr.. Newlands
call d habit?
NeWlands may not have been pres
ent at all the roll-calls in Congress
but there is no record to show that he
was ever absent from the golf links
at Chevy Chase.
Nev'lands says "any idiot in Con-
gress can make a record by voting at
every ~roll-call." Why was it then
that Ir. Newlands didn't make a
record!
NeWlands delivered two speeches,
one at the opera house and the other
was published in the News.

EXAMINATION MAD.

To the Editor of The Republican:
 Sir: A little boy came home from school one day last week, saying:
 T passed uoday-nade "A per cent" Passed what?' said his father. Why. the monthly examination.
 So it seems that the poor young peo- pie are tortured with monthly trials of their scholarship and later with the terrible finals, when for hours and days , they are on the rack to decide whether they can be permitted to pass on to still more difficult examinations in the next grade. If a scholar has studied under a private teacher it is taken for granted that he has learned nothing. If student has passed regular grade ex- aminations under teachers of recog- nized ability who have taught in the city schools, the pass cards are desig- mated as mo good" and the inevitable examination is presented to them on platter.
 It is like beans for breakfast, beans for dinner, beans for supper always beans-always eXaminations-no let up even on a little tot; or like the ram, lamb, sheep and mutton of the city boarding house. It is examination in
 
 primary. high school, college, profes- siOnal school-to say nothing about the teachers examination.
 And some of these examinations are so difficult and technical that it is probable that those who prepare them could not pass similar examinations in any ordinary study except the one which they have for a hobby. Ask some of the high school teachers what percent they made when they tried the last examination in orthography. and other successful teachers in the terri tory how that examination in arith- metic struck them which began with, "A board 1215 inches Iong'-the name of the maker being blown in the bottle. In some of the best eastern schools the tendency is. to lessen the number of eX- aminations and to make them more brief. What the tendency is in the Phoenix schools was illustrated in recent editorial of The Republican. Scholars in the lower grades are re- quired to spend four hours in taking one examination. In some of the state eXanina tfons in the east scholars are given fifteen questions and are allowed to select ten out of the fifteen. In some Arizona examinations only ten are given and the tortured one is re- qulfGu pN the totluIei CO stIlSWe every one in it's order so that one long and difficult problem may prevent them from answering two or three easier ones farther along in the list.
 The aim seems to be too often to tor mcnt the student rather than to test his scholarship It would be better for our scholars and for our schools if some of these nerve-racking examinations were omitted. We want good scholars
