the platform OF the State Convention.
When he returned home and COM
menced booming Stewart in his pa
per there was loud protest from
Democrats in Elko county, demand
ing that he be removed from the tick
ct upon which he had been placed by
the State committee. If our memory
further serves us correctly, the gen.
tleman declined to come off the
ticket, and as there was some ques-
ton as to the power of tn. commit
tee to remove him, his name was per-
United to remain, notwithsting
the fact that he was in open OPP
position to one of the principal
planks of the platform on which
he was supposed to be running.
The committee was censured far
more severely SO far as was known
at their headquarters, for placing the
INDEPENDENT editor on the ticket,
thou MIR. Newlands. In regard to the
latter, there were some complaints,
but when the matter was explain. ed
and the reason given, nearly all of the
complainers agreed that the commit
tee acted wisely and for the best in
terest Of the party in she action. We
regret having to allude to such I'M
pleasant matters, but us the IDEPEN-
DENT appears to hold the Journal re-
sp0n lille for tae acts Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, we
cannot help reminding our Elko
friend that Mr.. Newlands was not the
only one placed upon the ticket at
their instance, who was Objectionable
to some Democrats, and we leave it
to the editor himself to Judge which
Of the two candidates named bad
The best or least right to occupy
place ON the Democratic State ticket
last fall.-Journal.
In order to make a point against
the editor Of this pape", the Journal
suppresses the fact that We declared
our preference for Senator Ste wart
before leaving for the Fast, and that
we wore placed on the ticket long
after that preference was published.
What the committee supposed or
what it did not suppose, we do not
know, neither do we care. So far as
the attempt tx get us off the ticket is
concerned, that was male by q few
men in TuscarOra, s me Of whom had
never affiliated with the Democratic
party before and probably will not
again. With their demands we re-
fused to comply. IF we we're a mil
lionaire with Senatorial bee
in our bonnet, the Journal
would doubtless conclude that
our being on the ticket was all right
and the use of our money to defeat
the ticket was in strict accord with
party discipline. But not being
with a Senatorial bee buz.
zlng, it is all wrong. Under all the
facts as they actually exist we will
say that Mr.. Newlands was the only
on the Democratic State
ticket who bad no right to be there.

THE BLACKLIST PAGES.

For weeks the papers favorable to
the election OF Francis G. Newlands
to the United States Senate have
teelned with abuse OF Senator Stew
art and e.. G., Wallace. Nothing has
been to vile for them to publish
against these men. The motive for
it is found in the fact that the people
Of the State said ut the polls in No
venber that VIM. M. Stewart should
be returned to the United States
Senate to continue the work for the
regeneration % silver. In the cam
paign he had the support Of the
Reno Journal, Silver State and
other papers that never tired
in urging his claims upon the
people. With them. then, Senator
Stewart and his manager were all
that the people demanded. But after
the campaign was over and victory
rested on the Stewart standard,
scheme was concocted by slippery
politicians to change the victory into
u defeat and elect Mr. Nrw.ands TO
the United States Senate by the votes
Of men pledged to return William nj
Stewart to that body, This scheme
was met by Mr.. Wallace and the
friends Of Senator Stewart Their the
Journal changed hands and became a
violent anti.Stewart journal. The

tues Of Stewart and Wallace. a month
later were welding pens dipped in
gall and hurting anathemas mt the
men whom short month before
they were Iauding to the skies. The
object of all this was to divert the
attention Of the people from the Sen
atorship and enable Mr.. Ncwands to
steal the toga Senator Stewart had
won before the people. Back of all
this stood millionaire flushed with
victory. Supporting him were men

commands and anxious to sink his
gold into their hungry pock-
els. These foi ces we're met and over

The fight was long and bitter. But
when the battle was over victory
perched again on Stewards banners.
The generaIship OF Wallace had won,
and the air was rent with the walls of
the defeated. Their cries still rend
the air and their abuse of Stewart and
Wallace still continues. In their
minds 1t is right for a man to use
every mems TO fitch United
States Senatorship from one who
had won it before the people,
but wrong for that one to protect the
fruits Of his victory. Everything they
did is right even to the attempted

THE CHARGE AT CALOOCAN,

Kansas City Journal: Captain Bishop,
commander of the Salina in the
goth Kansas, writes of the charge at Ca
loocan as follows:
Colonel Funston realized that success
depended upon haste, and as he hurried
up and down the line urging us on to Ca
loocan we realized that we had the
bravest colonel that ever led a regiment,
and a thousand brave Kansas boys re-
Sponded to the commands. AS two Of our
battalion commanders We're absent
lieutenant Colonel Little and Major
Whitman-Colonel Funston left part of
the regiment absolutely in command of
Major Metcalf, and it was no mistake he
made. AS we neared Caloocan it seemed
as If all of the DEVILS imps We're in front
of us. We could hear, but could not see.
The only thing that saved us from great
loss was the fact that the natives in
variably fire high. e.,
1T would have don your soul good to
nave seen my country school teachers as
they made these rushes, with Sergeant
Sampson always at my right hand and
S~eregants Brockway and Wilson urging
their sections on. We knew our left flank
was safe, as there was Glasgow, with
Sergeants Fox and King, looking after
the second platoon, and to the right of
the road was the. big stone church, sur
Inc by a SeVen-fOOt stone wall, and
that was what we were after. One more
rush would take us to it, and then over
the walls we would go. AS Harry Todd
was ringing the bell in the church tower
with lead from his Springfield, I cried
out: How many will follow me?' and
every man answered, L am ready!' or
'Here!' 'Here!' and away we went. 1t
was my ambition to be the first man to
scale the wall, but, bless your soul, 1 am
getting old, and forty or more brave lads
sat astride the wall shooting natives be-
fore I got there. And here we rested I'M
til the other companies, which were pick
ing their way through the underbrush
and across trenches on either side of the
town, came IN. We were proud of our
rush on the town and proud of the brave
boys who forced the intrenchments right
and observation-disclosures concealed by
brush and vines and full of natives with
Mausers and Remingtons."

corner and gazing with great earnestness
at a window near the top of a tall office
building.

whose curiosity impelled them to stop

as l can judge at this distance from the

1t does not require any special gift or
qualifications to wash windows. 1t does
not come under the head Of skilled in
dustrles. No particular training or edu-
cation is needed to become an expert
WindOW-Washer. Hence, you will permit
me to say, there is nothing necessarily
exciting or awe-compelling in the spec
tacle of a man in the ordinary pursuit
of such a calling. My only object in
stopping to watch him was to ascertain
approximately how many blamed fools
would gather in the course of two or
three mute merely to see a man wash
ing an office window. Coun yourselves,
gentlemen. Count yourselves"
With a politesand comprehensive bow
he took the arm of a policeman who hap
pened along at this juncture, and walked
serenely away.

THE FORTE.

"Well, while were talking of boots"
said the guest who had just left an early
call, Il will tell you one a travelling man
put on a hOtelkeeper out west. The trav-
eler had spent some time in town, and
had made a few purchases. When he
came to pack his trunk he u not get
everything in. A new pair Of boots, that
had taken his fancy, could not be forced
beneath the lid, and after struggling
with the problem for some time he sent
for the proprietor. Somewhat surprised,
the host responded and was informed by
the nervy travelling man that he couldn't
get his boots in the trunk" relates the
Washington Post.

AIMS TO ~ROTHSCHILD.

One of the closest friends of Baron
Rothschild of Paris, was Carolus Duran,
the artist, says a writer for Harper's
Round Table. During the entire course of
a certain large dinner party the great
~tinancier noticed that the painter kept
looking at him with a most intent and
peculiar expression. After the coffee and
cigars. the baron drew his friend aside
and said: My dear fellow, pray tell me
why o have stared at me so peculiarly

'Ill tell you with pleasure" answered
Duran: ST am painting a beggar for the
salon, and have looked all over Paris for a

know him; but the beggar's miserable
rags, wan face and wistful expression ap-
pea1ed deeply to the your mans SYM

busy mixing colors, the pupil took a franc
from his vest pocket and held it out be-

with feigned avidity.
When the sitting was over Rothschild
made inquiries of Duran concerning the
philanthropist, and was Informed that he
was a student of great promise and at

inhabitants of the Latin quarter.
Some six months after this occurrence
the young man received a note which ran
about as follows:

1here is one
appalling death that still threatens inno-
cent men. 1t is a slow and lingering death
from consumption. One-sixth of the hui
rnan race die from this relentless enemy of
humanity. Probably no subject connected
with health is so important and so little
understood as the conservation of vital
force. The human organism is a wonderful
machine, and is so constructed that if ex-
haustive draughts are made upon the vital
forces during youth and middle life, the
mechanism responds for the time, but at the
expense of its future usefulness. The man
who overworks or eXhausts himself day
after day is constantly overdrawing his
store of vital force. Finally the mechan-
ism of supply breaks down and the man
becomes a physical bankrupt. The me
chanisin of supply in a man is his stomach.
There the food is transformed into vital
force. If the stomach is weak and the di-
gestion Impaired, he body ceases to re-
ceivc and store up vital force. If the
draught is continued, consumption or some
other equally fatal disease is the result.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a
great producer OF vital force. 1t enables a
man to daily store up energy to do almost
any amount of work or stand any amount
of exposure. 1t does its work through the
stomach. 1t makes the weak stomach
strong. 1t facilitates and increases the
flow of digestive juices. 1t promotes and
perfects the assimilation of all the life
giving elements of the food. 1t is the
great blood-naker and flesh builder.
Mr.. +. NJ. Robinett, of Xenophon, Tenn,
writes: II can heartily recommend DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for indigestion and
torpid liver. I was very bad off and tried diff
ferent doctors with but little benefit. I decided

Rules For Examination of the
Applicants.
WHAT PER CENT IS NEEDED
To be Placed in the Eligible Class and
the Subjects That Must be
Reviewed by All

New York, April 20.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says: Direc-
tor Merriam has promulgated rules for
the examination of applicants for posi-
tons in the census to any grade higher
than that of labor. The effort to incor-
porate the law providing for taking of
the twelfth census, a civil service pro-
vision was unsuccessful, and Director
Merriam found himself threatened at the
outset surrounded with evils which
might render unsuccessful his most
earnest efforts to have done the best
work within the shortest practicable pc
riod for the benefit of the country, as
well as to sustain and add to his own
high reputation as a business man II
an administrative officer. In the hope
of averting such a disaster the most
stringent rules within the scope of eX-
ecutive authority nave been established.
Under the law such rules cannot apply
in the case of enumerators or special
agents, or to employees below the grade
of skilled laborers at $500 a year. The
rules recognize two lists of applicants
eligible to appoint--a list of all those
who earn a marking not below Y, and
"a list of extra %eligibles," such as famil-
iarity with the electrical counting ma
chimes used in the eleventh census.
Ability to make calculations by the
tables of logarithms, and a familiarity
with arithmoeter or other adding and
calculating machines.
All applicants for appointment are to
be examined in photography, copying,
p~enmanship, arithmetic, elements of the
English language, letter writing and ele-
ments of geography, history, n also
subjected to hypothetical tests above de-
scribed. Applicants for appointment as
stenographers and typewriters will be
required to pass a supplemental exami-
natoin which will fairly test their ability
for such special work.
In marking proficiency in ~arithmetical
calculation counts so, in photography and
penmanship 80, and the remaining sub
jecta 20. The time allowed for Zach ex-
animation shall not exceed six and one
half hours in any case. The applicant
who receives a marking below IS will be
placed in the rejected list and be ineligi-
BILE for appointment, for all others will
be placed in the list of eliSibles. Appli-
cants who are left out on the first exam.
nation cannot r%eapppear for eXamina-
ton for at least 80 days, or until they
have obtained the permission of the di-
rector of the census for such. re-examina-
ton.
