The Devil and His Broth.

How can any person with the slight
est shadow of consistency vote for
Bryan and at the same time cast his
ballott for the Republican nominee for
Congress? 1t is practically tying the
hands of the President, who, without
the support of the legislative branch of
the government, is powerless to carry
out the principles of the voter as man
ifested and expressed by his ballot for
Bryan. 1t is as inconsistent and ridic-
ulous os would be the voting for Pro-
hibition candidate for President of the
United States, and the president of a
liquor dealers association for member
of the lower house, for one vote neu-
tralizes the other. Mr.. Harrington, if
elected, will oppose the administration
of Mr.. Bryan, as he would in honor be
bound to do as a member of the party
which denounces the platform adopted
at Kansas City, and indorses the one
formulated at Philadelphia. As mat
ter of fact, a vote of Bryan man for
Mr.. harrington would manifest the
same degree of folly and inconsistency
as scratching a name on the Bryan
electoral ticket on account of the
voters more friendly personal rela-
tions with an elector on the Mckinley
ticket.
/ Mr.. Newlands has opposed the adj
miuistration of Mr.. Mckinley, as he
will support that of President Bryan.
If for no other reason than that, he
should receive the support of every
Democrat and Silver party man in the
State who votes for Bryan, and aside
from the admitted fact that his ability,
experience, and his standing in the
lower house, have constituted him one
of the leaders of that body, thereby
enabling him to carry through legisla-
ton favorable to Nevada, under the
administration of either Bryan or Nc
Kinley, with greater certainty of sue
cess than a member without expert
ence and never before heard of, in all
probability, by any member of the
house.
1t is an old saying that it is as bad to
eat the devil as drink his broth, and
Mr. Harrington most assuredly can
only be regarded in that connection as
the broth of the gold standard, imper-
ialist and trust fostering devil, VIM.

POLITE IN FACE OF DANGER.
Extraordinary Coolness of q Gsntls-
man During q Fire Aston
fshed the Firemen.

"The coolest man l ever met" said
New York fireman. relates Golfers
Weekly, Il met at fire in a dwelling
house on Fifth avenue. We found him
in an upstairs front room, dressing to
go out. The FIRE by this time was surg
ing up through the house at q great
rate.
"'Helloa, therel' we hollered at him
when we looked in at the door, the
house is afirel
Would it disturb you il I should
remain while you are putting it out?'
he said, lifting the comb from his hair
and looking round at us. He had on
white evening waistcoat, and his
dresscoat lay across a chair.
Seeing us staring at him, he dropped
his comb into his hair again and went
on combing. But, as a matter of fact,
he was about ready. He put down the
comb, put on his coat and hat, and
picked up his overcoat.
Now I'm ready, gentlemen he
said.
I'VE started, but the stairway had
now been closed up by fire. We turned
TO the windows. The boys had got a
ladder up to the front of the house.
Now, then, we said to him, when
we came to the window.
"'After you, gentlemen he said,
standing back. And I'm blessed if we
didn't have to go down the ladder
first"

Leg Broken by a Fall.

Oscar Hildebrandt, the piano tuner,
met with an accident at Lovelock,
October 4th, by which one of his legs
was broken just above the ankle.
He had been engaged to play the pi-
ano at the Knights of Pythias ball, but
when the time came he was so badly
under the influence of liquor that he
could not do SO. He was removed
from the hall by the management and
taken down stairs. Shortly afterward
Hildebrandt was found lying on the
ground short distance away with a
leg broken, the result, presumably, of
a fall while staggering away from the
building. He will be brought to Win
nemucca on No. 6to-day for treatment.

How We Use Up Our Forests.

1t is estimated that it takes twenty
two acres of spruce land to furnish
enough wood pulp paper to run large
metropolitan daily just two days. The
writer who makes this statement de-
plores the time, when, at this rate, our
forests will entirely disappear, and
paper be very scarce and expensive.
Meantime, the art of printing contin-
ues, because there are many truths the
world should know; among others,
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
cure for diseases of the stomach, such
as dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
biliousness, insomnia and nervousness.
This famous medicine has been the
standard remedy of the American peo-
pie for fifty years. Do not accept a

Good News for Our Readers

Who have scrofula taints in their blood,
and who has not? Scrofula in all its
forms is cured by Hoods Sarsaparlla
which thoroughly purlfies the blood.
This disease, which frequently appears
in children, is greatly to be dreaded.
1t is most likely to affect the glands of
neck, which become enlarged, erup-
tions appear on the head and face,
and the eyes are frequently affected.
Upon its first appearance, perhaps in
slight eruptions or pimples, scrofula
should be entirely eradicated from the
system by thorough course of Hoods
Sarsaparilla to prevent all the painful
and sickening consequences of rum
ming scroftila sores which drain the
system, sap the strength and make ex-
istence utterly wretched.

Cheap Insurance.

Don't think you can afford
to run your chances when
life and property are at stake.
Money cannot bring back the
lives of those you are bound
to protect; and to lose your
building means loss of time
and money. A good Light
ming Rod is the best and
cheapest insurance known.

An English engraver named Morgan
fashioned the die from whence our
silver dollars are stamped. To per-
petuate his name, he slyly made an M
in the neck of the goddess, just at the
line of the base. 1t is very small, and
escaped notice for a long time. On
the diverse side of the coin he again
got in his sly work. He made another
Nj in the knot below the eagles tail
feathers. This is so small that it can
only be seen on new coins, or those
little worn, and by good eyes, or
under glass.

10 to l..

The Republican party is trying to
deceive the public again by making a
great ado about the ratio of 10 to |.
Do they forget that this is the legal
ratio, and at this ratio this party passed
law two years ago to coin 1890, 600
silver dollars per month? The Repub-
lican party coined Is, ,254, ,71e silver dol
lars last year at this ratio of sixteen to
one. II they are dishonest dollars,
why does this government go on
coming these dollars? The Republi-
can party has had all departments of
the government in their hands, and
could have altered it. If they were
fair, they would never have raised this
hue and cry, as they know that the
ration between 10 and 16 to | is the
same ratio which has existed ever
since the United States has coined
money, and it is the ratio which is like
ly to exist for the next hundred years.
England, France, Germany and all the
countries of Europe, coin money at
ratio of about 10 to l from silver bull
lion, which they buy from America at
about half the price therefore their
silver money must be dishonest also,
if our silver dollars are. The United
States is more liberal, and puts the
ratio at 16 to 1.-Erchanqe.

BY means of a valuable toughening
process, recently discovered, glass may
now be moulded into lengths and used
as railway ties. Glass rails are also
produced by this toughening process.
1t is therefore possible to have com
plete glass railway. The glass rails are
turned out in sizes and shapes similar
to those of the ordinary steel rails.
They are far tougher, and resist the
action of the elements more success
fully than steel.

WHY FRANKLIN DIDN'T WRlTEIT

WHY FRANKLIN DIDN'T WRITE IT,
"It has always been a curious
puzzle why Franklin, the man of
ripe age, commanding distinction
and of approved literary skill,
was not selected to write this dec
laratiOn instead of Thomas Jeffer-
son, only thirty three years old
and comparatively unknown" "
says John Gilmer Speed, in the
Saturday Evening Post. 1T could
not be that Franklin was passed
by because he had done every
thing within his power to avert
war and reconcile the differences
between the Colonies and the
Mother Country, for all wise men
in the Colonies did all that honor
permitted in that direction until
the die was cast. No, it was not
a fear of Franklin's earnestness
IN the cause Of the Colonies-it
was probably the fear of Frank
Inns humo;,
"He was not only the greatest
man of his time, out he was one
of the greatest humorists of any
time. And so his associates were
possibly afraid that he would put
a joke in the Declaration, and
passed him by and selected the
Iank young Virginian with the
freckled face.
"As it was, Franklin did have
his joke, for when the members
of congress we're about to sign the
Declaration, Hancock, whose ear
nestness is expressed in the bold
signature which comes first, said
in his own earnest way; we
must be unanimous, there must
be no pulling different ways; We

must hang together or we shall be
pretty sure to hang separately"
