WHAT DIR. sTUBRs 81 vs..

The Journal is in receipt of a letter
from DIR. Stubs, from which we
take the following extract:
II refer, viz, to your charge that
a corporation. or in other words, the
Southern Pacific Company, has a
hand in the affairs of the University
and has something to do with Pro-
lessor Jackson's resignation. What
has occurred to change your present
attitude toward the President of the
University it is impossible for me to
explain to myself. l must wait for
further light. This feature of the
attack is so malicious that / feel
justified in meeting it in the only
way an honorable man can meet such
attacks, viz, by action in court, that
will necessarily bring all the facts to
light. 1 therefore have asked Judge
Cheney to see whether there is cause
for legal action in this particular
feature of your newspaper attack"
If the Journal is correctly inform
ed, Cheney has been looking up
suits against the Journal for some
time. Should he bring a suit against
the Journal he will not draw the jury
panel or be on the bench to try the
case.
The doctor was evidently very
much out of temper when he wrote
the above extract, as his name has
not been in any way connected with
the Southern Pacific, except it may
be inferentially. Should it be true
that the Journal has connected the
name of a citizen of Nevada with the
Southern Pacific Company, it would
not be malicious, defamatory or libel
Gus in this State. because it is DEEM
ed honorable to be SO identified

No better illustration Of the way
State cession oil the public lands would
operate to the extinction of the small
settler and stock raiser need be looked
for than the recent action OF the Colo
RADIO State Land Board in leasing I'll
600 acres TO Senator William II. Adams
and his friends. The next scheme on
foot il said to be the leasing OF $1,000
acres to The Swift Company. the big
Chicago packers. There are scores OF
small cattlemen who will be heavy
loosers il the open range is turned
over to the Swift Company. 1t is no
wonder the small settlers and farmers
in Colorado are organized for defense
against State cession. The chances
of the man OF small to take
Horace Greeley's advice and 20 West
and grow up with the country will be
gone forever il the public lands are
ever coded to the States; and the
small ranchmen OF the West, who
are o the bone and sinew OF the
country, would rapidly be frozen out
by big outfits with a political pull like
Senator Adams and his friends, or
cattle trusts with headquarters in the
East like The Swift Cattle Company.

CAUSE or NAIL MIsCARRYIN0.

As a result of carelessness in abbre-
waiting the name of the State in adj
dressing letters to California points by
writing the abbreviation CAL, SO that
it is not distinguishable from COL. is
the cause Of a vast amount of letter
mail being sent to Colorado intended
for California. Recently a 1000 pound
casting shipped to Grass Valley. CAL,
was sent to Colorado through careless
ness in marking the abbreviation CAL,
so that it could not be distinguished
from Col.
A large number of letters and news
paper mail addressed to Nevada points
are frequently sent to Nebraska
through writing the abbreviation New,
which through carelessness in writing
is mistaken for Neb., the abbreviation
for Nebraska. Such carelessness is
inexcusable as it requires but a second
more to write the full name of a State
in addressing letters and marking
packages which a failure to do so often
results in material losses.

MONEY POwER OF AMERICA

Mexican Herald: The new power
in the United States is able now,
through the operation OF the great,
military.like trusts, whose rule ia
secrecy and implicit obedience, which
maintain a discipline that RIVALS that
of the famous Jesuit order, to move
the pieces on the political chessboard
at will. The old, simple, Washing
tonian republic nc longer exists; in
stead, one sees a marvellous concentra-
ton OF effective resources, an enlist
ment of the keenest and most power
full brains, an energy and determine
ton to gain its ends, which renders
the imperium in imperio the real
State. Outwardly the forms are the
same Presidents are elected, Senators
and Congressman go to Washington to
legislate, but they are controlled by
occult forces to which they must bow.
The expansionist policy Of the country
has been made by the new control"
and the future policies of the Federal
Government will be agreed on in the
inner offices OF the money kings.
There is little use in protesting; a
new aristocracy, dwarfing the Old
World sort into insignifcane, has
arisen-a new order Of brains and
wealth which makes merely titled
people look like belated masqueraders
on the stage of affairs. A Pierpont
Morgan, or a Russell Sage, is the
recipient of more real respect than is
accorded to dukes or marquises. The
power that dominates in the worlds
politics has passed into hands that
can WELD it more f~orcefully. So one
sees that, under democratic forms,
ar~istocracy is not to be gotten rid OF;
the new power looks with amused
disdain on ~impecunious Congressmen
and legislators when they attempt to
check the progress of the real rulers OF
the land.

TIE MEN BEHIND BoxR GUNS.

A Memphis dispatch to the st. Louis
Globe tells who the Boer artillerists
are. The substance is that Herman
Muller has received a letter from his
brother, Peter Muller, who at the time
it was written, stated that he was in
command Of a Long Tom in front OF
Ladysmith. The writer states that the
gun he has charge Of is forty feet long
and throws a ten-inch shell. He was a
gunner OF the United States cruiser
Olympia" and took part in the fight
ing at Manila bay. He came home on
the Olympia" visited his brother in
Memphis and left Immediately for
South Africa. He saw twelve years
service in the United States navy.
Then the account goes on as follows:
Muller modestIy tells a very inter-
esting story. He says that the Beers
artillery forces are made up of Ger
mans, Irish, French and American
recruits.
"In my own company" he writes.
"the Captain is a Frenchman, the
Lieutenant is an Irishman, and the
others are Germans, French and
Americans. The native Dutchmen de-
vote themselves to mounted infantry
work and sharpshooting."
Muller states the American artillery
men are mostly ex-members Of the
United States navy, and have managed
so far to outpoint the other gunners.
He also stated that the Beers around
Ladysmith have rations enough to last
man and beast six months.
1t is evident from the tone of Null
ler's letter that the Beers have q
superb artillery equipment. He states
that he lost a thumb a few weeks age
from a bullet fred by an English
| infantryman, but got even within q
week by planting a shell squarely in
front Of a company that was making q
sortie from the beleaguered city.

NEWARK CORRESPONDENTS.

NEWARK VALLEY, Jan. "a.
At an early hour on Friday even-
ing of last week a large crowd
gathered at the residence of Mrs.
Beck to attend the Hard Times social
given by Moore. Simonsen & Co. A
more ragged crowd it would be
hard to find. The poor things, some
of them, did not even have patches
to put on their clothes, but sewed
them up the best way they could.
Although they were dressed in rags,
and some of them did not look very
we'll, they had a fine time. At mid
night, Notwithstanding the hard
times, every one was seated to q
bountiful supper to which all did
ample justice. After supper dancing
was continued until ''sunup," and
breakfast was served before the party
broke up-every m going home
we'll pleased with the nights enjoy
ment.
Besides plain dancing there were
jig dancing and cake walks. The
prize for the cake walk was awarded
to Ernie Simonsen and his graceful
partner, who royalty won it. Last
but not least was the entrance Of L.
G.. Wedekind and partner as the
flowing pair" which created a great
deal of laughter.
