The shrinkage OF Nevada's popula-
ton by over LOO in ten years has at
tracted only passing attention I'm the
excitement of the political campaign.
but II Is nevertheless fact worthy of
serious consideration. This state has
never been really entitled to the rank
Of state. It's population has been
dwirdling for several decades, until it
now reaches total smaller than that
of any other state and far below the
congressional ratio for single dis
trict. Yet this state retains the right
TO send two senators and one repre-
sentative to Congress. and unless some
measures are adopted TO prevent. will
continue to hold that right despite the
continuing shrinkage of the population
There Is no clear way out Of the diff
Guilty. Nevada would doubtless strong
ly resist all efforts 10 deprive her Of
statehood. save upon conditions most
favorable to her. Annexation to an
other state offers the only feasible
way. II would seem, and propositions
10 this end have repeatedly been made
only to be neglected. California would
willingly take over the state. and so
would Utah. Nevada. however. has a
larger area than Utah. and Is not yery
far below California in this particular.
IL would be an anomalous proposal for
any one state to annex so enormous a.
territory bodily. and the prospect is
|. rather that IL anything of the sors is
never done II will be in the way of divid =
ing up the Nevada area among the
three or four nearest-lying STATISTICAL
nornia, Utah, Idaho and Oregon. The
most desirable portions lie nearer to
California. The state is by no means
blameable for its shrlnkage. Practical
ly the only reason for any habitation
whatever Is the presence of the once
exceptionally rich silver mines. which
In 1850 caused a great rush or popula-
ton. The exhaustion of the richer
ores and the fall in the price of silver.
however. soon depleted the state. and
the soil has never had the qualities to
attract immigration to Offset the ex-
odus when the mines began to fall.
The states chief resources are the sill
yer mines and the borax and other
commercial chemicals which are OBJ
tained In large quantities from the
great plains and impregnated lakes
with which the state Is covered. II ,s
difficult problem TO solve, I'm view of
the forbidding character of the terri
tory. and II does but little good now 10
complain that II was a mistake to ad-
nit Nevada to statehood. -washincton

Leung Chi-tso seems to be a success
as a collector II not as reformer of
empires. He left here with some thou
sands Of dollars as soon as the Boxer
trouble broke out ard was not heard
from for long weeks by those who ,ook-
ed to him to raise the standard of Chi
nese reform. Then he was discovered
In Tokyo. where, in the text of a sad
confession that the money had teen
spent and nothing done. he severed his
relations with the Chinese Of Hawaii.
We now hear that he is going to Aus
tralia to collect funds for the cause Of
reform and have no doubt that he will
feather his nest as only Celestial bird
Of prey can. Thanks to the Advertiser
his opportunities here were circum-
scribed by the decision not to give his
association corporate privileges.

The statement of Mr.. Bryan that he
proposes to stay in Nebraska and con-
tinue his fight, means that he will
work for a third nomination. Whether
he will get this prize or not depends on
the tenacity OF his friends and the
state of the times In McKinley's
last year. Undoubtedly the Bryan ele-
ment is supreme In the Democratic
party and there seems to be nothing in
the personnel of the Gold Democratic
wing to warrant the belief that the
Bryanites can be superseded when the
time comes to go campaigning again.

The order made by Judge Hum

basis in justice so far as the Advertiser
IL concerned and Is simply the result Of
Humphreys bad temper. 1t amounts

petty revenge and the consequent no.
toriety. this very Juvenile judge Is
