READ THE RECORD

In a recent number of the Reno
Journal the Silver party is charged
in plain terms with corruption and ex
travagance. These charges are easily
made and when made in a ceneral
way are frequently believed.
We would suggest to the Reno
Journal that having made these
charges against the Silver party that
it now give US some specific acts of
corruption and extravaganza.
The accounts kept Of the dlffere MT
administrations are public matter
and it could be easy to demonstrate
the truth Of these charges from the
books if they were true. The fact of
the matter is that these charges are
absolutely without foundation, as the
records show.
The Controllers report :or years
past are the best evidence to produce.
The last two years of the rule Of
the Republican party in this State
cost the taxpayers in round numbers
$500, 900. The last two years of Sill
yer administration $7IS,ooo. Bal
ance in favor of the present admins
tJation $72 600. Now the Republi
cans gave to the University and other
educational purposes $172, 900 and the
Silver party appropriated for the
same purpose the sum Of $754 900.
Deducting these appropriations for
the record Of both parties and it cost
the Republicans in the last two years
Of their administration $6IS, 900 and
the Silver party $464, 900. Balance
for Silver party $I54, 900. We ask
the Journal in all candor if this looks
like corruption and extravaganza? 1t
might seem a good id when a news
paper wishes to make charges Of that
kind to first 90 to the books and do a
little figuring.
We trust that the Journal, whose
editor is fail minded man, will re.
publish the figures which we have
here presented.
If he desires to verify them he will
find the books of the various State
officers open for his inspection and b.
will be extended every courtesy By
deputies drawing 500 month wher
the same officials under Republica,
rule drew $166.
The Journal is rot the only ofende
in this respect.
The Wells Herald is continual,
harping on the high rate of taxation
saying that the State rate has bee
raised from 81 cents to s. on the hun
dred.
The statement is correct as to fig
ures. wherein the Herald differs fro1
the Journal, which quotes no figure:
The raise in the State rate was nj
cessary in order to keep the State U,
iversity on its feet and all agree tn:
we had better pay nine cents on til
hundred more taxes than allew sue
an institution to go to the wall.
II every Assessor in this Sta
would assess up to the full cash walt
of property as the law directs II
State rate would be reduced to
cents and possibly to IS cents.

REMARKABLE EXTENSION OF
RURAL FREE MAIL DELIVERY

covering 66S42 squire miles, divided
among forty-four states and territor-
les, and serving population OF 1,6O1.-
524 The number of applications pend
ing at that date and awaiting action
or under investigation was more than
2, 2,1O0-nearly enough to double the ex-
listing rerviceend every day brings
more. The close Of the present fiscal
year will see about 4 4.3OO routes in op-
Grafton, carrying the mail daily to the
doors of not less than 100000 resi-
dents Of the rural districts. =
1T thus appears that rural free de-
livery can be extended practically over
the whole country at on annual cost OF
less than $14.OOO.OOO. As the appro-
priatiOn for the current fiscal year for
this purpose Is $1.7JO.O0O an addition
al outlay OF $12OOO.OOO unless ual1r-
seen demands should come, wouldSeb-
stantially take the mail every day TO
every door in the land
1T is recommended that the appro-
priation for rural free delivery for the
fiscal year beginning July i. 1901, be
not less than S3,50O.OO0."
The following recommendations for
legislation by Congress are made:
That an act be passed to punish per-
sons who by force attempt to enter a
car or apartment in car used for the
distribution Of mail, or who may as
sault railway mail clerk while in the
discharge of his duties as such.
That statute be enacted providing
for the compulsory separation by pub
fishers OF second-class mail matter.
While the majority Of the publishers
have shown willingness TO undertake
this work at the request of the special
officer in charge Of 1t, few are un-
willing to cooperate with the govern
ment in this matter, which saves ex-
pense to the department and facilitates
dispatch of mail.
That the interstate commerce law be
amended to prohibit common carriers,
to-wit. telegraph and express compan-
les, or any of their employees, from aid
ing or abetting in the green goods or
lottery swindles. or any other scheme
carried on partly by mail and partly by
common carrier. and which is in vio-
lation Of the postal laws.
That statute be enacted authoriz-
ing postoffice inspectors 10 take out
search warrants whenever the same
may be necessary in the prosecution of
their official duties.
That an appropriation be made for
the purpose of constructing lookouts
in postoffices wherever. in the opinion
of the postmaster general, they may be
needed.
That provision be made for the pay
ment Of incidental expenses incurred
by local officers or others in the arrest,
detention and keeping Of prisoners
charged with violations of the postal
laws until such prisoners can be trans
ferred to the custody Of a United States

The Lean Meat Hog.

In the production of the lean-meat
hog which the market now seems to
want but is not yet willing to pay for,
there appears to be difference be-
tween the heredity and environment
people. The one side argues that to
produce the bacon hog a breed must
be secured that has the desired con-
formation and lean-meat making quail
ity. while the other contends that any
breed will make the bacon hog II it
is fed right. 1t is just possible in this
case, as in many others, that the truth
lies between the two extremes and
that for immediate results. both hered-
ity and feeding are essential. A corn
fed breed will not at once drop the
characteristics 1t owes to feeding upon
change being made to an alfalfa
diet. In making animals what they
are heredity ie the most rapidly acting
force but environment is the most pow
erful one.-Field and Farm.

on an area Of 5.1O0.000 acres, indicates
