A canvass of republican congressman
of the west shows a remarkable agree
ment as to the wisdom of making a
statutory declaration of the gold stand
ard and the adoption by congress of a
currency reform program similar to
that outlined by the caucus committee
and recommended by President McKin-
ley. Of the 80 republican congressman
representing Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Ohio, only one gave even an equivocal
or non-committal answer All the 9TH
ers were outspoken in their opinions.
As Congressman Boutell of Illinois
said, the gold question can be settled
absolutely by "a simple enactment pro-
viding that all obligations of the gov
eminent shall be paid in gold" The
frank statements of the western men
are worth much, for they indicate that
in their opinion nothing is to be lost,
but much gained, by making the law
say what it means.

The populists of this state have de-
cided to indorse the democratic ticket
this year. That is quite as it should be-
There will be nothing in the democratic
platform, if the Bryan men are in a
majority in the state convention, which
a populist cannot irdorse, and there
certainly wouldn't be anything in d
populist platform which Bryan demo-
crat would not stand for. AS the popu-
lists declare that they have indorsed
the democratic ticket in this state for
three years, it is apparent that either
the populists or the democrats cannot
be very numerous in Massachusetts.
How would it do for the democrats to
refrain from holding a convention in the
state this year. and indorse the populist
ticket? Perhaps it might result in more
votes

THE WORLD OF MUSIC.

Nine. Marcella Sembrich, who is to
sing at the Thursday evening and FRI
DAY afternoon concerts of the festival,
now ranks as one of the most finished
Yocalists on the stage, There never was
any question as to the beauty of her
voice, but within recent years she has
placed herself in the first rank of exec
utants and artists. Her appearance in
New York, last season, brought forth
ample proof of this. Nothing more
fiattering could have been said of Mel
ba.
Marcella Sembrich was born in Lem
berg, Galicia, in 1858, so that she is
now Al years of age. She was first
taught music by her father, and at the
age of u was playing the piano and
violin in public. She was precocious
child. It was as an instrumentalist
that she began her career under some
of the noted old-world teachers, and she
went TO Vienna to pursue her studies in
this line. There it was discovered that
she had a remarkable voice, and no
great persuasion seems to have been
required to turn her upon the road that
led to the opera. She studied with the
younger Lamperti at Milan, and June
3, 1877, made her debut at Athens as
Elvira in BelliniS 81 Puritani' She
met with instant success, and her tri-
umphs in Lucia" and "Dmorah' fol-
lowed. In 1878 she made her first APP
pearance in Dresden, and in 1880 sang
at the Lower Rhine festival. The same
year she was in London, singing at the
Royal Italian Opera, and subsequently
she came to America.
Nine. Sembrich's voice is said to have
range of two and half octaves, eX-
tending from lower C to F in alt Its
quality in the upper register is con-
spicuous for it's brilliancy

The democracy has got itself into a
tight place. Recent utterances of pub-

support the presidents Philippine pol

the CO.'S declare the war failure, sac
rifiee a considerable portion of it's nor
NAL following and march to certain and
hopeless defeat. 1t looks now as if it
would take the fool course under the
able and appropriate leadership of Will
liam Jennings Bryan.

A long continuance of war in South
Africa would be apt to interfere SER
iously with gold production in that
country, and the effect of shutting off
so important gold supply would be
felt throughout the world. Add to this
the closing of the diamond mines, and
it may be imagined that the conse-
quences of British war with the Trans
vaal would have noticeable economic
effect both in Europe and America.

There is confirmation of the report
that the two Pacific Mail steamships
now building at Newport News will be
$50 feet long and of 1880 tons, thus
constituting the largest craft ever put
together in this country. On the other
hand, the speed of each is to be only
eighteen knots per hour. Capacity for

George Kellogg, to whom the con-

Wall group by machine drill was re-
Gently awarded, came in from Bing-
ham where he has been looking over
the ground, yesterday, and says he
will have his "augur" at work in the
next ten days. The drill makes a
hole six inches in diameter and on
the "churn method" will enable the
company to intelligently and accur-
ately sample the rock every five feet.
The holes, says Mr.. Kellogg, will be
from 300 to 1000 feet in depth, and
in the future will serve for air shafts
He expects to complete his demon
strations in about sixty days.

Cune has decided to remain several

affirmed lis intention of building
the line through Lincoln county if
the Short Line will agree to the plan
and he is working on those lines
now. The short stretch of 225
miles or more from the present ter
minus to Marvel looks a shorter dis
tance to build than ever before and
the Utah u Pacific people are anx-
ious to help build it.
The line is owned by the U. N. &

lateness of the season and the large
amount of work already mapped out
by the o. S. L., it begins to look as
if it will be impossible to start the
work this year.-Tribune.

ner in which these ballots had been
preserved away from any evil infu-
ences or attempts to tamper with
them showed that he was County
Clerk who perfectly understood and
appreciated the sacred rights of suf-
frage. So scrupulous had he been
in the care of these ballots that Sad
ler's attorneys admitted with but lit.
cross examination that there had
been no possibility whatever to tam
per with them. The Clerk brought
them all the way from Phoebe in a
trunk carefully roped and sealed.
He produced them in packets of
which none had the seals broken
and the precinct of De Lamar was
the first one introduced in testimony.
Counsel for Sadler objected to the
introduction of ballots on similar
grounds taken against the introduce
ton of ballots from other precincts.
The Court promptly overruled the
objection and admitted the ballots in
testimony. The examination of De-
Lamar precinct occupied the entire
morning session. Several irregular
ballots were discovered. McMil-
lan's attorneys objecting to Al and
Sadler's to %.
During the afternoon session the
remaining precincts in Lincoln
county were considered. The most
interesting objection taken was that
of McMillan's attorneys to ten bal
lots from Searchlight precinct.
They contained opposite the words
Constable" and "Justice of the
Peace" the names of the candidates
voted for. 1t seems that the County
Commissioners had failed to name
any candidate for these respective
offices, and upon examination, Mr..
Goodrich, the County Clerk, de-
clared that no offices of this nature
were provided for Searchlight. 1t
ispresumed that these ballots, count
ed in the returns for Sadler, are all
invalid and will be thrown out by
the court.
1t was also developed by the re-
count of the ballots from Helene pre-
cinct that one Mcmillan vote had
been cast there that had not been
returned to the Secretary of State.
AS matter of course it will be
counted for the contestant.
Court adjourned at three o'clock
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning

Clerk of Eureka will testify. Car
