Because I've been unhappy al the Gay.

Quite softly, so ] should not hurt your rest
And not with any cry Of sorrow lest
Ny darkness should break IL upon your light
Yet ] call sadly for my heart Is sad
But then J think you are so far away.
So very far. that my voice draws near
The sorrow will be lost and you viii hear
Just murmurinGs not the sad tSings that ] say

To let my heart forth. tell you all my palnl
And now the passionate tears begin to flow,
And sobs come-nay, sorrows too strong. aDo SO

Utah Pacific

w. A. Clark, the copper king, is said
to have purchased a controlling inter
est in the Utah Pacific Railway and in
tends to push it through Nevada and
California to tidewater.
Messrs. Clark and Hoge are working
in the matter of the Nevada expansion
none of the other Utah Pacific people
being parties of the late negotiations.
For this reason it is thought likely an
entirely new company will be formed,
to build under the Nevada corporation
lately effected, or else under a - in
corporation in this State.
The preliminary success OF the Utah
Pacific has shown what might be ac-
complished by further extension, and
added to this is the great volume OF
through traffic promised to the future
line all of which is an alluriDg field
for capital. The time has come for
some road to go through, and unless
the Utah Pacific line is extended, the
Rio Grands Western or some other
company will suddenly outwit compel
itors.-Silver State.

Help Our Boys

Recent advic.s from the War Depart
ment at Washington are to the effect that
on September %, 1899, the First Troop
Nevada Volunteer Cavalry, which has
been for the past year engaged in active
service in the Philippine Islands, sailed
from Manila for San Francisco, which
latter port should be reached en-, or be-
fore the 18th of the present month.
1t is meet and fitting, that in grateful
recognition of their gallant service in
support of the National honor, the MEM
bers of said Troop should, upon their re-
turn to Nevada, receive from the people
Of the State a hearty and generous vel
come, and, with that object in view, it
has been suggested TO me that a public
reception be rendered the members Of the
Troop upon their return at Reno, upon a
date to be hereafter announced, the ex-
penses of said reception to be met by
public subscription. Ia order to carry
out the wish of the public in this respect
1 hereby designate the Chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, County
Clerk and County Recorder, of each and
every county of this State, a committee
to solicit and receive subscriptions in
their respective counties, in aid of said
reception, all money collected by them to
be forwarded to j. Vernon Jones, Presi.
dent of the Red Cross Society, of Reno
Nevada, not later than October 26, 1899.
The subscription committee above
designated are specially requested to be
prompt in carrying into effect the re.
quest made upon them, and each o.
them.

is a farce comedy of a good clean ma

which cacates sufficient amusement to

There are many novelties introduced
which are catchy and take well, while
the scenic effects are new and up-to-

GREASY ON TIE ISSUES.

Hon. William T. Greasy, Demo
cratic nominee for Treasurer of
Pennsylvania, is not wasting any
time in endeavoring to prove that
the Philippine war is an outrage
and a blunder, or that the expan-
sion of American commerce in the
Orient is an undesirable thing. Mr..
Greasy leaves it to the Quay ma
chine to take refuge in the exploita-
ton of national and international
issues. and, in his speech accept
ing the nomination of his party,
addresses himself directly and sole
ly to the discussion of the abuses
attaching to the machine admins
tration of the affairs of this COM
monwealth-abuses which the De-
mocracy Of the state pledges itself
to correct, if it secures an oppor-
tunity, and for the correction of
which men of the Greasy type are
visibly needed in the public Offices.
The Democratic nominee, in order
to demonstrate the particular re-
forms essential in the Office to
which he aspires, sketches i'll an
impressive fashion the history of
the State Treasurership and the
manner in which succession of
docile and plant occupants thereof
have played into the hands Of a
corrupt ring and deprived the state
of its just dues. Under such man
agement, he says, The millions oi
the peoples money have been held
as the estate of the party machine
and administered at the behest o.
the party boss they have been de
posted with political banks and po.
litical bankers for private gain
they have been loaned out to the
political boss, to the members o
his family, to his lientenants anc
to his mercenaries and his tools
they have been handed over fo
stock jobbing and stock gambling
to corrupt politicians their use ha
been sold by the same agencies fo
interest paid to the Treasurers, t,
other public officials, and to con
spicuous managers Of the machine
they have been made to pay annua
tribute regularly to furnish the ma
chine itself with funds to debaucl
the elections and to elect machin
candidates they have been II
steady and systematic corrupt ma
nipulation by political State Treas
urers during decades of machin
rule"
Nor is this statement in the leas
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1899-09-07

for campaign purposes.
All that Mr.. Greasy charges, and
more, has been proved over and
over again by private and public
investigation. In the Bardsley
trial, and more recently i'll the at
raignment of Senator Quay on the
charge of being concerned i'll the
farming out of public money, the
revelations were ample to convince
the people that Republican State
Treasurers are elected merely as
tools of powerful and unscrupu-
lous syndicate, which derives much
Of its influence from its command
of state money. If there is to be a
restoration of healthful conditions
i'll the state treasury, it can only be
brought about, as Mr.. Greasy con.
tends, by taking the Treasury out
of the hands os those who have
abused their control of it for sc
many years. .-/ffts6nrg Leader.
