THE VALUE OF PETITION.
Both branches of h Nevada Legfs-

INC ooNcEngE
From the Carson Appeal
Some two weeks ago, Editor Patterson
Of the Yerington Rustler. was fitting
about this city like . political humming
bird offering TO get up . petition for u
tor Stewart. For reasons best known TO
himself and = few other people. the sens-
nor decided that he had no special use for
Patterson. Patterson then went into the
Newlands camp and succeeded In persuad-
ing the Congressman that he could do
great things for him in Lyon county.
Patterson was ct once heeled with some OF
the sharon estate money and started out
on hiS mission Of circulating Q petition
against Senator Stewart. To show how
easy 1t is to secure q petition on any pro-
position, one has but 20 go back to the
year 1887, when Jack Campbell. editor Of
the Territorial Enterprise, to show how
little such petitions amounted to, made q
bet tina, he could get the signature OF both
houses Of the Legislature to Q petition
recommending the hanging OF the Cover
nor. This petition was accordingly circu'
latei by Campbell, and in plain terms II
recommended the immediate lynching oil
Governor Stevenson.
The wording Of the document seemed
fair enough on the face to anyone who
read the frat dozen lines. Campbell ex-
planned TO each signer that il was . little
testimonial TO the Governor for his action
In q certain matter. Inside Of two hours
Campbell succeeded in getting the sigma
lures Of not only the members Of the two
houses, but also the prominent business
men Of the city. The next day he pub
lished the petition In the Enterprise will
the signatures attached and an editoria
stating that he had taken the step to dem
onstrate to the people Of the State how
easy il was to secure signatures TO petit
tions for any purpose whatever, no matter
how absured or ridiculous, as nine persons
out Of ten sign any thing that was stuol
under their nose in order 10 get rid OF thu
bother Of ascertsining what IL was about
Nothing that ever happened in this Stat
so completely demonstrated the uttel
wortblessness Of public petitions. TIT
matter raised a great laugh at the time a

lsture in which the Governor himsel

The Standard oil people figure that an

further figure that. by consolidation and

II is not impossible that the United
States will in the near future find . con-
siderable market for refrigerated meats
and meat on the hoof in South Africa.
This market will depend upon the re-
moval Of duties, for which Cape Colony
10 ready. but which requires similar ao-
tion by the four other states and colonies
forming the South African customs union.
Removal Of duties would appear to be q
necessity, for disease and drought have
worked such havoc with cattle and sheep
during the past eighteen months that
farmers are selling their breeding stock
for slaughter, goats are being freely used
for food. and the price Of meat Of every
sort has advanced to startling figures.
Food now practically all the
workiugmsn's wages. and this unfortu'
nate condition should invite American
cargoes.

WHY NEwLANDs WITHDREW.

Gives Reasons why His Name Was
Not Presented for U. 8. Senator.
After the bslloting for United States
Senator at Carson Tuesday, Francis G.
Newlands gave the following explanation
of his withdrawal as . candidate to the
Associated Press correspondent:
"The issue in the legislative contest
during the last campaign was clearly Stew
art and anti.Stewart. The anti-Stewart
forces won. They were composed Of indie
pendents and the Stewart Silver party
men. The Democrats and Republicans,
after election, were over suggestive that a
union Of the anti-Stewart forces could
more easily be effected In favor Of my
candidacy than that of any other man.
81 offered myself as 9 candidate, but al
ways stated that I would withdraw in favor
Of any capable bimetallist upon whom the
anti-Stewart forces could more easily com
bine. Owing TO divergence OF views % to
the method Of union, the time at which II
should be effected and the candidate, the
task Of uniting the anti. Stewart forces was
most difficult, and whilst we we're engaged
In efforts to unite these forces. Stewart
succeeded In securing sufficient votes to
obtain Q majority. Ny name. therefore,
was not presented to the Legislature.
"The victory gained by the people OF
the polls has been reversed In the Legisla-
ture, and the Southern Pacific 10 vic
torious. The question for the future is
whether the administration Of the govern
ment In Nevada shall be controlled by the
people or by the the Southern Pacific oom-
pany. The issue will be pressed with
vigor."

The Philadelphia Press enlisted the
services of q number of electrical engin-

an examination of the laboratory OF the
late John W. Keely Of "motor" fame
The examination disclosed the presence
of . reservoir capable of holding CON-
pressed sir and Of . great amount OF tub
ing made to sustain high pressure. All
this apparatus had been ingsniously CON
