DEFENSE or ,r,s. oXas.
What was wrong Under = Democrtie
AdminIstratio Doe Not Seem
To lie Wrong Now.

That may be u very fine defense Of
the practice OF depositing millions OF
public money i'll banks which Mr..
Gage has sent to Congress in re-
Spouse to certain resolutions OF in
quiry. But the question remains
whether Mr.. Gage has completely re.
futed Il certain speech made by
William Mckinley on a certain &C.
caeion.
That speech was made when Cleve.
land was President the first time, and
that was some years ago. But princi.
Piles do not change with the times,
though some people change their
principles with the times. At that
time Mr.. Mckinley declared that it
was all wrong to deposit over geo,
000,0C0 Of the public money II the
national banks; and he grew red in
the face with righteous indignation
rs he thought Of the odious favorit-
ism to pet banks winch such a dispo-
sition OF Lublic money implied.
1t was wrong then to deposit sGl,-
100000 OF public money i'll banks it il
certainly wrong now to do the same
thing with over ss7, 0Oo,0O OF the pub
lie money. Mr.. Mckinley was then
very impressive in his declaration that
il there was any more money in the
public treasury than WIS then requir-
cd to meet. public expenditures 1t
should not be handed to the banks
to be loaned for their private profit,
but should be applied to the purchase
or redemption Of United States bonds
in order to save interest to the dear
people.
Well, Mr.. Gage tells Us there is u
surplus now, and we all know that
there are bonds in the market that
raj DO bought. Then why does not
Mr.. Mckinley order Mr.. Gage 10 go
into the market and buy them and
save interest to the dear people in
stead Of turning over SS7, 100000 Of
public money TO pet banks for them
to lend ont for their own private prof
it? Was Mr.. Mckinley Il dcmagogue
- years ago or is he wickcdiy cod
ding some pct banks now: Let us

Fake Story Exploded.

Both the Examiner and the Call

garding Miss Myrtle Montrose, one
OF the leading members OF the Uni.
versity Of Nevada's last years basket

slight injury Miss Montrose received
while playing ut Palo Alto has devel.
oped into fatal proportion; that two
operations have been performed aud
a third will be necessary to save her
life.
The fact Is that Miss MontrOse is
attending the University every day,
enjoys good health; has had no oper-
atoms performed and doubtless has
the strength ms vol as the inclination
to lick the man who wrote the story.

hid out in the mountains for several
weeks, but was finally captured, almost
