up the political situation as follows;
The Republican leaders are afraid OF

of the trouble ahead Of them. The next

pine question to . great extent. and the

will turn their attention to internal
affairs soon, and when they do the sup
porters Of Mr.. Mckinley are going to be
kept busy explaining. The Republican
tariff has been an utter failure. 10 is the
worst tariff we have ever had and brings

oil onerous aud unusual war taxes. which
are still collected in time of peace, the
treasury has become bankrupt. and trusts
have sprung up all over the land. The
last Congress sppOrsioned over a billion
and . half dollars and in spite Of il there
is . deficit Of q million in sight, and it
grows bigger every day. The Philip
pines have cost us already $500. 000. 600
and we haven't got them yet. The i'm
mense strikes in the East give the lie to
the rosy accounts Of general prosperity
there. There is prosperity. but il is the
prosperity of the capitalists and specu-

THE YAQUIs-

they will resist 10 the death any invasion
Of the region that is theirs. They have
defended it successfully against all COM

leans have hsnkered after il precisely ss
the Americans have hsnkered after the
lands Of the red men within our own
borders. But always the Ysquis have
more than held their own in the lighting,
aud no diplomacy, no promises have been
equal to Turing them into dispossessing
treaties.
These Mexican s~borigines are oil . dill
ferent quality from ours. They are NOT
hunters and nomsds. but home-lovers,
and a remarkably industrious race. They
are the miners of Northern Mexico, the
stevedores Of the whsrves. the porters OF
the towns, the field hands st harvest
time. When they have earned money
by hard work, they spend part of IL in
the purchase Of the best arms and I'M
munition, which they carry back with
them to the Ysqui River Valley. There
they govern themselves in peace when
they are permitted. and do harm to no
man who does not mean 10 harm them.
They are really . fine people, brave and
intelligent, who have . civilization oil
their own. Il is q mistake to class them
with savsges. II in this most recent
conflict they have killed Americans IS
we'll as Mexicsns, il is pretty safe to
say that the Americans had no right to
be within reach Of the Ysquis' rife.

A FARCE.

The investiga alton by the House Of
the absence of member Gillespie is
one of the ~silliest ta1ces ever enacted
in a Legislative body. The decisive
vote of exoneration shows what a ma
;ority of the members thought of it.
Never in the history ofthat honorable
body was a member investigated tor
~absenting himself at will. Several
years ago Senator Hammond Of
Ormsby county went to New York
and remained the entire session.
The reverend gentleman's absence
was never investigated, nor was he
called upon to explain why he de-
cided to remain in New York during
the session instead Of staying at his
post of duty in Nevada. But at that
time the Republican party had full
control of both houses and Mr.. Ham
mond was a good Republican. Dur
ing the present session many mem-
bers will indulge in temporary alb
sence from their seats without any
danger of being investigated. The
CO Nardly assaults upon the motives
of Mir. Gillespie were made purely
for political effect and arc ~hattening

realize first as last that they have

MP. COMINS' ACTION
EDITOR

EDITOR APPEAL
Mr., Comins explanation of his &C
ticn in running independent in White
Pine county for State Senator, and
his subsequent refusal to stand by the
action of the State Silver Convention,
OF v hich he was a member, struck
me as very queer reading in the
APPEAL Thursday morning. The
rule ne lays down is certainly a new
n in politics in this State. He
clairls to be a regular Silver party
man, but he also claims the right to
remain away from a convention and a
primary election and then ig more the
action of the Convention and run
independent and beat the regular
non nee whenever he chooses.
Two years later ne claims the right
to appear as a regular delegate to the
State Convention, Notwithstanding
his / ghting the party in a previous
election. He excuses his act Of run
ming independent in White Pine
coun,y by stating that he was not a
mem Der of the convention, thus ad-
mittilg by implication, that he had
been a member of the Convention, he
would have felt bound to have sup
ported the ticket, This defense is
however knocked in the head when it
come; to the Reno Convention. He
was a member of the Convention and
Chairman of the platform committee,
yet he repudiated the action of the
convention and openly fought the
platform.
If reports from his precinct are to
be relied upon he also fought part OF
the S ate ticket. OF course when Mr.
ComiIs is nominated by a convention
he expects all good party men to gel
out and rustic and vote l.. him, but
if the nominees of the convention are
not h choice he gets out and fights
them and if the platform is not Just
to his liking he claims the right tc
repudlate it. Now Mr.. editor what
is there about Mr.. Comins that gives
him rights in the Silver party that
are not enjoyed by the rest of us?
When the party puts up a ticket
get in and rustic and pull and vote
for it whether it suits me or not.
would suggest to Mr., Comins that il
the party rules and regulations of the
Silver party do not suit him that he
pack his blankets and get into some
other party more to his liking, for it
seems to me that the fewer of his

Silver party the better.
