AS far as the individual claimant is con-
cerned the whole course of the Roberts
investigation is a mistake. As The Times
has repeatedly asserted. the only wise or
politically safe course to pursue. is to up
hold the constitutional right Of sovereign
American State to have its legally elected
representative seated on the strength Of
his credentials. if found to be regular. The
after question of expulsion, on any ground
the House may deem sufficient, is another
matter. But if the present inquest is
to lead to thorough examination into the
practices of the Mormon Church, hierarchy,
and people which are believed to be lille
gal, criminal, and dangerous to American
institutions and civilization, then there will
be that much gained. Irrespective of Rob-
erts. such an investigation must be regard
ed as not only desirable but highly neces-
sary.

DENTON ROASTED.

The methods resorted tom order to
re-elect Senator Stewart should make
the rank and file of all parties blush
with shame.
First of all we desire to call attention
to the vote of J. A. Denton, Demo-
cratic member OF the Senate from Lin.
coin county. This man Denton, was a
member OF the Democratic State Con-
vention held in Reno last September.
Had anyone listened to his cyclone
speeches made in that convention
against fusion with the Silver party,
and watched him when at work franz
ing the platform, of which the follow
ing is plank, they would naturally
have thought he would have suffered
the loss OF limb before he would have
voted for Stewart, yet he did, and on
the first ballot, too.
This is the plank: 1--WE demand
home rule for the people OF Nevada. Our
national government inaugurated >
bloody and expensive war to insure
home rule for the Cubans, and yet the
sovereign State OF Nevada has for years
and still is, under more abject servitude
to the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany represented by non-residsnta of
the State than ever were the Cubans
made subservient to the Spanish Crown.
We insist and demand that our State
shall be represented at Washington by
actual residents of Nevada instead of
by men whose sole interests In our COM
monwealth consists In its use to them
for office-seeking purposes, and whose
sole contributions to the people of the
State are limited to the money corrupt
ly used to secure their own elections.
That is not all, either, for he was
pledged to vote for the Hon. A. C. Cleve-
land first, last and all the time, by every
tie that binds man to man. He has
written letters pied ging himself toCleye-
land. He told the editor OF the Gazette
only a week ago that he should vots
for Cleveland. He told Cleveland him.
self, no longer ago than night before
last, that he would either place him in
nomination or second his nomination
He told SenatorComins yesterday morn
ing that he did not have time to place
Cleveland's name before the Senate
bat he would vote for him, and a few
minutes later, when his name was call
ei, he cast his vote for Stewart. We
leave the readers OF the Gazette Il
judge for themselves why he voted al
he did. but before doing so cannot re

Steam Turbines.

There are two ways of getting power
from steam-one by causing 1t to move
some kind OF piston, and the other by
using the energy or push OF the steam
jet. The former, pointed out MIR. Ger.
aid Stoney the other day at the Dur
ham College Of Science. has been grad
ually perfected from the engine OF Sa-
worry. to tbe splendid modern recipro-
eating engine; but the latter-though
representing the earliest form OF steam
engine and applied by Hero of Alexan-
d Ia about 2l00 years ago-remalned
undeveloped until 1884, when the Hon.
c. A. Parsons invented the compound
steam turbine. Among the advantages
OF such an engine are freedom from re-
ciprocating parts, small size and econ
omy in first cost and running expenses.
The steam turbine was first applied to
driving dynamos, and from about 4
horse power, has been Increased In size
to 1900 horsepower, entire towns being
lighted from these motors, OF which one
London company has Installed lO.OOO
horsepower, Many other applications
have now been found, the latest and
most promising being to steamship pro-
pulson. The famous TurbiRia-only

The VANDBRBILTS TO BUILD
ARAILROAD TO THE COAST.

There 10 a greater stir In railroad cir
cles At the present time and more ru-
mous of new roads and consultations
than for years past. There are denials
for nearly every rum0r, but where
there is SO much smoke, there must be
some fire. One thing is sure, and that
is that Nevada will have one and per-
haps two railroads in process OF con-
struction across her valleys and ranges
before the dawning of another year.
The latest and most promising rumor
for White Pine county was contained
In a long New York dispatch to the
Chronicle of Jan. 25th, which accounts
for the recent extraordinary rise in
the value of N. Y. Central securities by
stating that gigantic consolidation oil
all of the Vanderbilt lines, including the
N Y. Central, the Lake Shore, the
Northwestern and the Union Pacific,
is about to be effected, and that the
missing link between Ogden and the
Pacific coast is to be built at once. NO
authority is given for the report, but
the fact that the San Francisco Chron-
icle, until recently an active Southern
Pacific paper, devotes double column
editorial to discussion of the feasibili-
ty OF building such road, leads us to
but some faith In 1t and 10 believe that
the Chronicle Is ON the inside. Per
haps this might explain the reason for
its support of Mr.. Grant.
1t has been predicted, ever since the
vauderbilts secured control OF the
Union Pacific year ago, that they
would soon seek an outlet OF their own
to the Coast. At first, says the Chron-
icle correspondent, they contemplated
forcing the foreclosure OF the Govern
msnt mortgage on the Central Pacific,
and the purchase of that road, but
Huntington threatened to parallel every
mile OF the road, so they have conclud-
cd to do the parallelling themselves.
Such line is almost certain to come
through White Pine over the same
route as Cleveland g "Air Line, and II
it should, look out for the boom.

LESS CRYING AND MORE RUS
THING.

In placing Stewart in nomination In
the Assem- bly,, Mr.. MCGOWAN made use
Of the following words; "Now, Mr..
Speaker, we have as l stated in the be-
ginning, but one industry in this state.
People In the East have got so that
they misunderstood or claim that the
silver question Is dead. Oh, II 1t is dead
what becomes of the State of NeyadaE
What little population we have now will
be forced to go TO other places. y
Boo hoo, that kind OF talk moves US
10 tears--not for Nevada but for the
weak headed "Legislator" who uttered
such q sentiment That the Is kind oil
talk. learned from the lips of his master
Stewart, that is keeping Nevada where
she is to-day. The remonetization oil
silver would without question be
priceless boon to this State, and every
loyal citizen Is bound to work for 1t, but
there Is no excuse for such statements
a. the above. In the first place 1T Is
absolutely false. Can it be that Mr..
MCGOWAN is SO ignorant that he knows
nothing Of the gold mines at Delamar
and Tuscarora, OF the copper mines at
Golconda, OF the lead mines at Eureka
and Hamilton, of the thousands OF hne
prospects of each Of these metals In all
parts OF the State that need only capl-
tai to develop them into producing
minesP Can 1t be that he knows moth
ing of the wheat fields along the Hum
boldt, OF the great herds OF cattle and
sheep that constitute the wealth Of
whole counties, OF the ranches and
creameries and dozen other Industries
that are now fourishing in the State!
II such Is the case, what Is he doing in
the Legislature? A man with so mar
row a mind as that Is fit for only one
purpose and that Is to pound sand.
But we do not believe that Mr.. Nc
Gowan and men OF his stripe are sincere.
They make such statements simply for
political purposes, to appeal to the
predjudices Of the unthinking at home,
and to arouse sympathy abroad. But
instead Of sympathy we get derision
We go out to seek capital and get the
words OF our own Legislators cast in
our teeth. Men do not buy lots in a
cemetery for speculative purposes.
While the people OF Nevada should
never give up the silver fight as long as
there Is a show to win, it is time to re-
adjust the methods OF the campaign in
harmony with the new industrial con-
ditions that have sprung up in the
years OF depression. Let us set out to
con vince the world that Nevada can
yet be great State in spite OF the loss
of silver. We venture to say that not
ten per cent OF the present population
iseither directly or indirectly dependent
upon distinctively silver mines for liv-
ing, and that the population of the whole
State will increase, rather thandiminish,
whatever be the future OF that metal.
demonstration would cause sudden
revival, but demonstration still leaves
US chance for steady development and
growth. Let US study the example Of
Colorado, Utah and Montana, quit our
calamity bowling and rustlel

STATE MINING BUREAU
NEEDED.

Il A number Of the State papers took
up and end orsed our suggestion for the
creation of State Mining Bureau, but
we have not seen a bill for that purpose
introduced as yet in the Legislature.
We would like to see the matter gener-
ally discussed, and as basis, recon-
mend that bill be framed to embrace
the following points:
First, that IA State Mining Bureau be
created TO consist Of one member from
each county to be appointed for the
first two years by the Governor, and to
be elected every two years thereafter
by the people of the respective counties
at the general elections; that the Blu
reau meet at least once year TO tran
sact business as hereinafter provided !;
that the members serve without pay
except actual expenses incurred In the
performance of their duties, such as
postage. express charges on samples,
and travelling expenses to the annual
meeting; that all such expenditures
including the printing of reports, be
limited to a reasonable sum, say S., 900
per annum, and be payable from the
State Treasury in the same manner as
other appropriations.
Second, that the ONCE of State Miner
ologist be created with liberal salary;
that the office be filed by majority
vote OF the members of the State
Mining Bureau; that man to be
eligible for the ONCE must be a gradu-
ated mining engineer from one OF the
highest grade of mining schools in the
country, and must have been success
fully engaged in the practice OF his pro
fession since his graduation; that resi-
dents OF the State Of Nevada be giver
the preference.
Third, that the State Mineralogis
be the Curator OF the State Museum
aud that IL be his duty to make sys
tenn attic collection, with the assistance
of the county members of the Bureau
OF the ores and geological formations o
every mining district in the State ar
ranged by counties, each sample to b
assayed at the State University and tt
be la beled with It's mineral contents, III
value per ton, and the name OF thu
mine from which taken.
Fourth, that it be the duty Of th'
State Mineralogist to collect data con
corning the various districts and minei
Of the state, both by personal inspec
ton and through the cooperation o
county mem bers Of the Bureau and o
4n!ae owners and superintendents; tha
such data include the sworn statements
of net proceeds of producing mines al

such data be published and circulated
In the annual report of the Bureau.
The above is intended as rough out
line OF what such a Bureau should DC
and the direction of its activity. We
leave it to more experienced heads to
work out the details. We are aware
that the first objection that economical
Legislators viii urge is the expense, but
could not economy be better directed
elsewhere? We do not need to compile
the Statutes for few years, the pres
ent Curator OF the State Museum could
be dispensed with, and we imagine
there are many more corners to he
clipped. The usefulness of such Blu
reau, we believe, would justify many
times the cost.
