The official inspector lays large part of

NevaAa.

The shrinkage of Nevada's population by
over LOO in ten years has attracted only
passing attention in the excitement Of the
political campaign, but 1t is nevertheless a
fact worthy of serious consideration. This
state has never been really entitled to the
rank of state. Its population has teen
dwindling for several decades, until it now
reaches total smaller than that of any
other state and far below the congressional
ratio for single district. Yet this state
retains the right to send two senators and
one representative to Congress, and unless
some measures are adopted to prevent, will
continue to hold that right despite the con-
tfnuing shrinkage of the population. There
is no clear way out of the difficulty Ne
vada would doubtless strongly resist ell eff
forts to deprive her of statehood, save upon
conditions most favorable to her. Annexa-
ton to another STATE offers the only feasible
way. it would seem. and propositions to
this end have repeatedly been made only
10 be neglected California would willingly
axe over the state, and so would Utah.

Last NIGHTS News.

The Star feels that 1T has reason to be
proud of it's election night reports of the
count. Its bulletin screens attracted great
crowds early in the evening, which grew to
mammoth proportions as the night ad-
vanced. They packed the space between
The Star building and the post Office and
on each side spread far beyond the range
of vision of the screens, while several
thousands, sufficient to form a respectfully
large crowd on any other occasion, assem-
bled beneath the megaphone. To these
eager people the bulletins were delivered
rapidly, and this continued until lis,
when the Good night sign was flashed on
the screens, after statement of the con-
dition of the country, based upon the latest
returns, had been displayed. Meanwhile
provision had been made for the informa-

The Convention at Havana.

The people of Cuba need not be dis

Tho Capital ReIieyed.

Washington's keen interest in the cleo
ton. springing from concern for it's ma
terial welfare, has been gratifyingly re-
lieved- There will be no disturbance of the
civil service system and the capital will
not return to Its old-time condition of I'M
certainty OF credit and business. There
Will be no slump in financial circles due
10 the undermining of the national cur
rency. There will be no shrinkage of values
due to radical alteration of the national
policies and the unsettlement of invest
ments. In brief. Washington will continue.
for at least four years. in undisturbed en-
Joyment OF its prosperity, brought to 1t by
the merit system in public service by the
establishment of the god standard and by
the expansion of American trade in all di-
rections, from which the local enterprises
have protited with others. Therefore the
capital gives thanks today for the passing
OF the danger which threatened its welfare

Nevada, however, has q larger area than

are the silver mines and the borax and

plains and impregnated lakes with which
the state is covered. 1t is a difficult pr b.

And after all was done, some of the
wisest and most patriotic Of those who had

GUARDING AGAINST FIRE.

Every PrecaufiOn to Be Taken at the
Pan-Americnn Exposition.
There are two fire houses upon the
grounds of the Pan-AmeTican Exposi-
ton at Buffalo. N. Y. which are fully
equipped with the apparatus and men
necessary to fight any outbreak of fire
upon the grounds.
In addition 10 this there are chemical
fire eXtinguishers in all of the build
ings. These are of the same type used
at the Worlds fair at Chicago and are
attached to the wall on the interior of
the building. A cog on the bearing Of
the reel releases a valve which turns
on the water in case of fire. 1t is only
necessary to unreel the hose and thus
turn on a stream which can be d.
rected upon the blaze without a mo-
ment's delay. In this way every pre-
caution is to be taken to prevent the
occurrence of any fire and consequent
destruction of valuable property.
