on Mr.. Hans Olsen to inform him he
was wanted at home. Well, Hans ar
rived and he was surprised to see his
new residence that he had left in peace
and quietude, in the possession of his
wife and babe, occupied to overlooking
by his neighbors. He was informed
it was a house-warming, and warm
ing it was for everybody. Delightful
music soon filed the air. Every good
thing that could be purchased or man
ufactured was lavishly distributed to
the guests by Cherry's most beautiful
young ladies, and everybody from the
octogenarian to the baby in arms was
bubbling over in happiness. Mr. John
Wearne was selected to say few APP
propriate words for the occasion.
Toasts grave and gay, were drunk and
Hans with his worthy wife were the
recipients OF many flattsring remarks
on their occupying their new residence,
and everybody there wished them
health, happiness and prosperity. To-
ward midnight many of the guests re-
paired to Nevada hall to wind up the
occasion with dance. The hall was
well filed with very select assemblage,
who to charming music, engaged in tho
merry waltz.

Chinese Pronunciation.

An acknowledged authority on the
pronunciation of Chinese names as
translated into English assures us says
the Boston Transcript that there need
DO no difficulty in sounding the many
Chinese names appearingin newspapers
II the speaker will remember that the
yowels in these names are uniformly
those of the italian or Continental al
phabet, namely:
First-"An always about as in far;
20 always approximately as in they
or then; 81 like in machine or pin:
90 as either the 90 in song or how
and ''u' always as the ''ur in rule.
Second-lt should be rsmemb ered
every syllable has an independent value
and should be given that value in pro-
nunciation.
Third-Consonants are pronounced
exactly as written.
These three rules will secure as cor
rect a pronunciation of Chinese names
as can be secured without oral instruc-
ton

Thursday, August ., 1900.

The record OF Adlai +. Stevenson on
the silver question has boon questioned
by the opposition press, because he was
the running mate Of Grover Cleveland.
That Stevenson, however, was not in
sympathy with Cleveland on this great
issue il well known to those who have
followed his career aud appears very
clearly from the following which we
clip from the National Waterman:
"While Vlco-President OF the United
States he was handicapped by his po-
sition and prevented from actively par
ticipatlng in the fight against the re-
peal of the sherman law. But when
the continuous sessions were ordered
aud a move was contemplated TO change
the rules OF the Senate in order to force
a vote upon the repeal bill Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson sat In his scat as Presi-
dent of tho Senate both day and night
declining TO surrender the chair to any
one but the friends OF silver while he
went out TO his meals or to seek bodily
rest.
at Is fitting that the country should
know the attitude of Mr.. Stevenson AS
Vice President during the trying or
deal of the repeal of the sherman law.
When IL was decided to go into con
tinuous session and force the debate
upon that measure to an end and II
combination of Silver Republicans and
Democrats was made, TO continue the
protraeted debate, number of Repub-
leans and Gold Democrats entered into
II conspiracy to put one OF their num-
Der into the Nice-P Presidents chair
while The Vice. President would be
forced to seek rest and thus through
having partisan in the chair adopt re-
evolutionary means TO change the Sem
ate rules Notice of this design reached
Mr.. Stevenson S ears, and from that
moment he never surrendered tho chair,
no matter how great the pressure, nor
how much he needed rest, except for
an exceedingly brief period and then
only into the keeping of some senator
who had the silver cause at heart.

eve want no classes of society in this
country. We want no millionaire class,
no aIistOcratic class, no poor class. So
eiety must not be as ii is in England,
fixed in horizontal strata like the lay
ers Of clay and OF stone in the earth's
crust, one upon tho other. No: but
society in this country must be rather
like the sea, so long, SO broad, SO deep
aud so free in all its parts that every
grain OF sand that mingles with the
water at the bottom may rise through
all the currents until it glitters like
jewel on the crest of the highest wave. =
Those were not the words of social.
ist, nor yet of reformer. They we're
spoken at least twenty years ago by
man whose history gave meaning and
life to his words man who began his
career verify as grain OF sand in the
depths of the sea of humanity and rose
by the power of his own energy, ability
and integrity to the highest position of
honor and trust that his countrymen
could bestow. That man was James

All careful observers will no doubt
agree that American society is under
going an evolution. Two opposite
forces are in oporation-one leading to
the creation and separation of classes.
the other tending to reduce all classes
To a common dead level The first is
the power of wealth, concentrated in
the hands OF the few which has already
made the millionaire class an established
fact-a class distinguished in its rising
generation by idleness, snobbishness
and proligacy and whose highest aim
Is to ape the aristocraey of Europe.
The force that is working in the op
posite direction IS Labor. We believe
that the organization of working men
in this country has only just begun.
The creation of trusts and combina-
tons, such as we have seen formed in
the last few years, has compelled like
uniiieation of the labor unions. As
this organization movement goes on the
individual becomes of less and less rola-
tive Importance. Hereafter the strug-
gle is to be not man against man, in the
battle of life, but giant against giant.
How long before the crisis will be
reached depends largely on the general
prosperity of the country and the wis
dom of the leaders, but from present
indications, this country will be the
scene of tremendous social upheaval
within the next fifty years.

GOVERNOR BLAsDEL DEAD.
First Executive of Nevada Dies
in Oakland, Cal.

Ex-Governor Blasdel of Nevada died
last Thursday at his home in Oakland,
Cal. The cause Of death was an aggrG-
waited attack of grippe, complicated
with brain fever.
The Governor was born in Lawrence
burg, Ind, January 20, 1925. lie came
TO California in 1852 and engaged in
mining with his brother in various
parts Of the State. He went to Nevada
in 1856 and was elected Governor, being
the first man TO serve in that capacity
after the Territory became State. He
served FOR tive terms, having beon re-
elected by large majority.
Concerning the character OF the man
Judge Goodwin in a recent ISSUE of the
Tribune pays the following tribute:
"Goy. Blasdels early school advant-
ages were limited, but he was shrewd
and strong business man, an out and
out American, aud Il devout Christian.
He was like Saul. He lowered in height
far above most of his fellow men. He
and Col. David Buel were rival candid
ates, and together they measured about
thirteen feet in length. In personal
contact with men, Gov. Blasde was
most kindly, companionable man; his
official acts were SD satisfactory that he
was twice elected Governor and no faint
or suspicion of faint ever attached to
his name.
