The Secret Service has unearthed another
quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly
executed that the average person would never
suspect them of being spurious. Things OF
great value are always selected by counter
feiters for imitation, notably the celebrated
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which has many
imitators but no equals for indigestion. dyspep-
sis. constipation. nervousness and genera, de-
bility. The Bitters sets things right in the
stomach, and when the stomach is In good
order it makes good blood and plenty OF it.
In this manner the Bitters gets at the seat of
strength and vitality. and restores vigor to the
weak and debilitated. Beware of counterfeit

Won Outer, erstwhile factotem
to the Hon. (?) F. G. Newlands,
but now chief pencil pusher on the
Goldarnder News, declares that the
TIMES is "mercinary and corrupt
paper" because it favored Senator
Livingston's newspaper bill. He
claims that what the State wants
is a host of fearless, independent
newspapers. This is partly right
the part about fearless and indie
pendent" and if he will look back
over the battle field of the last
campaign he will notice that the
TIMES was the first paper in the
State to call attention to the du-
plicity and traitorous actions of
Won Dutzer's boss, who was osten-
sibly running for Congress, but who
was an actual underground candi-
date for U. S. Senator-on the pur-
chase plan. In regard to the Liv-
ingston bill, we advocated it be-
cause we believe that ito the victor
belong the spoils." The Silver
Party won and should have had
the patronage. If any other party
should win in the future, under the
Livingston law the patronage would
have gone to that party. We hold
that one paper, which by the sup
port of a party can be made "a good
one, is more beneficial to the State
than a dozen patent inside sheets
which exc out "a scanty existance
with the patronage divided between
them. These are our reasons, free
ly stated, why we favored the Liv-
ingston bill. If there is anything
corrupt about this we are willing
to be so considered.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

next general election upon the ques-
ton of holding constitutional con-
vention. The question has been
three times submitted to the peo-
pie. Twice it was defeated because
of the omission of many voters, in
the excitement of the general elect
ion, to affix Eyes" or "no" to the
wo rds on the ticket, "For a Con-
stitutional Convention" Both times
the affirmative had a fourth
majority over the negative, but as
it required majority of all of the
votes cast to carry, every blank was
practically "No," and thus the
call was both times defeated. In
1882 the Democratic State Conven-
ton adopted a resolution favoring
a constitutional convention, and the
State Central Committee requested
the different Democratic county
committees throughout the State to
have printed OH the tickets "Yes,"
upon the convention question,
which suggestion was adopted by
the party representatives in most of
the counties. The Democratic State
ticket was defeated that year, but
the convention question carried by
larger majority than any State
candidate was ever elected since the
admission of the State. But, not
withstanding this most emphatic
expression of the voters, the meas
ure was lost through the refusal of
the Judges of the Supreme Court,
who constituted the State Board of
Canvassers, to canvass the vote,
upon the technicality that the stat
utes did not mention, in 80 many
words, the canvassing of consti.
tutional election vote as a part of
their duties, although two of them
had performed that duty" when
the measure was known to be de-
feated. The technicality has since
been corrected in the statutes and,
in all probability, the wishes of the
people will be carried out in 1891.
The greatest objection to con-
stitutional convention that has been
urged by its opponents is the ex-
pense. This is simply nonsensical.
When the original constitution was
formed the members of the conven-
ton received only three dollars per
day, payable in greenbacks, which
were worth at that time about forty
cents to the dollar. The convention
was composed OF the brightest men
in the State, including large pro-
portion of first class lawyers, who
willingly sacrificed their time in the
interest of the proposed common
wealth. The constitutional conven-
ton now in question need be COM
posed of but forty-five members,
which is the number of the men,
bership of both branches of the leg
islature. The requisite changes
could easily be made in twenty
days, SO the per diem would only
amount to $2,7O0 at the same rate
that was paid to members in de-
preciated currency in the flush
times Of 1864. There is no ques-
ton but a sufficient number of
competent persons would be willing
to sacrifice their time for three
weeks, to insure an intelligent MEM
bership to the proposed convention.
The legislature of 1901 would ar
range for the meeting, name the
per diem and provide for all the
requirements in regard to expenses,
which need not exceed 5000, from
the issuance Of the proclamation to
the adjourn ment Of the convention.

WELL, it might have been ex-
pectedl Sadler has vetoed the act
of the late legislature which pro-
vided for the people to vote on the
question of holding a Constitution

pie were congratulating themselves
on the fact that the legislature had
done at least one act which would
lead to good results in the State,
and now this act has been made
useless. Great is the rule of Ne
vada politicians who pay no taxes.

Hopkins and the Speakership.

IN outlining his policy as speaker, If
ne should be elected to that position,
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois very point
eddy says that it would differ from that
of his predecessor-that his method
would be to give each member his full
need of power and responsibility, be-
lieving this to be due to the constitu-
encies who have elected them. He also
declares that he will be in full accord
with the administration in its foreign
policy.
On both Of these points Mr. Hopkins
utterances may be fairly regarded as a
direct slap at Mr.. Reed. The latter. as
is well known, never seriously consider
ed the rights of individual members in
the transaction of legislative business.
The speaker can, if so inclined, abso-
lutely control the business of the house.
and Mr.. Reed was always so inclined
The order of business is ostensbly ar
ranged by the committee on rules, and
the speaker is virtually the committee
The members of the opposition party
pose him, and those of his own party
dare not. He recognizes or declines Il
recognize a member at his own sweet
will, and without recognition, of course
a member is utterly powerless. 1t is
known Of all men familiar with CON
gressional affairs that Mr.. Reed was il
the fullest sense the autocrat of tbs
house. There was never speaker who
was loved less, or who exercised c
greater power. He is not and never
was an admirer of Mr.. Mckinley. The

course was dictated by his own DELHI
crate judgment; McKinley's by the
holders Of the Spanish bonds, through
Hanna, Elkins, ct al. But at last they
were both forced to yield to the on
rushing tide of public sentiment, and
the war came. Then again they parted
company. the president going with the
crowd and the speaker fiocking by HIM
self. The speaker held his position, con-
sistently opposing everything calculat-
ed to carry the war beyond its original
purpose, while the president yielded with
every shifting of the popular breeze
From an extreme opponent of the war
he has become an extreme imperialist,
bent on taking everything in sight.
History scarcely furnishes sc complete
a metamorphosis as Mr.. Mckinley pre-
sents in his attitude upon this ques-
ton.
Strangely enough, while the Cuban
question was pending Mr.. Hopkins was
in opposition both to the administration
and the speaker. He presided over the
caucus of As dissatisfied republicans
who met to protest against the admin
istration's hating and timid policy.
The caucus never amounted to much,
and Mr.. Hopkins was not very aggres-
sive. Still, he was in opposition, and it
remains to be seen whether his bid for
administration support will bear any
fruit. But the promise of a departure
from the autocratic policy of Mr.. Reed
may have an effect with the members.
We shall see. 1t would be a huge joke
if Reed were to conclude to remain in
congress while longer-just for fun.

reports this regiment was not held up
ranks are concerned. The disrepute
and disgrace under which the regiment
fell were the fault of some of the officers,
and in a way they have paid heavy
penalty for their cowardice. But when
it marched through New York's streets,
day before yesterday. this regiment was
vigorously cheered.
On the contrary, Kisses were the
greeting for the homeguard Seventh
regiment, and these increased as the pa
rade moved along its route, this action
amounting to an outbreak of denunci-
alton and an emphatic expression of
stern disfavor.
