1t is now generally known and un-
derstood that Drunkenness is a disease
and not weakness. A body filled with
poison, and nerves completely shat
tered by periodical or constant use of
Intoxicating liquors, requires an anti
dote capable of neutralizing and eradi-
eating this poison, and destroying the
craving for intoxicants. Sufferers may
now cure themselves at home without
publicity or loss of time from business
by this wonderful "HOME GOLD
CURE" which has been perfected after
many years of close study and treat
ment of inebriates. The faithful use
according to directions of this wonder
full discovery is positively guaranteed
to cure the most obstinate case, no
matter how hard a drinker. Our
records show the marvellous transfer
nation of thousands of Drunkards in
to sober, industrious and upright men.
WIVES CURE YOUR HUSBANDS

This remedy is in no sense nostrum
but is a specific for this disease only,
and is so skillfully devised and pre-
pared that it is thoroughly soluble and

Thousands of Drunkards have cured
themselves with this priceless remedy,
and as many more have been cured
and made temperate men by having
the "CURE'' administered by loving
friends and relatives without their
knowledge in coffee or tea, and believe
to-day that they discontinued drinking
of their own free will. Do NOT WAIT.
Do not be deluded by apparent and
misleading Improvement" Drive out

S. T. Gage VIII be Retired.

The S F. Cal says It expected that
President Hays will retire Stephen T.
Gage from the service of the Southern
Pacific Co. in few days. 1t is under
stood that in consideration of his long
and valuable services he viii be given
a pension, but his days of active par
ticipation in the affairs of the railroad
are at an end.
The Cal says: "The time was when
Gage was the dictator of the political
fate of two States, and his influence
reached from Oregon to Texas and his
power was felt in the halls of Congress
at Washington. No man in the history
of the Golden State and its State sister
across the mountains ever welded
greater power than the man who is
about TO be retired. Legislators were
his playthings. He made and unmade
Judges. He dictated the names of

tors. The Governors of sovereign

"It is as the political manager for the
s 0uthern and Central Pacific railroads
hat Stephen I. Gage is best known.
The position of assistant to the presi-
dent, which he held for much of his
life, was created to enable him to carry
on his political management. How
we'll he did it is matter of open his

greatest single factor in the politics of
California and Nevada. How much
money he handled for the two COM
panies during his nearly forty years of
service will never be known, but it will
reach into the millions.n

The irrigation problem is one of the
most important questions before the
people of this country. 1t is of vital
interest to the West, for statistics show
that the population of many of the
country districts of the West is not as
great at the present time as it was ten
years ago. The people have been at
tracted to the cities and the cities have
increased in population. While Con-
gress at its last session did nothing for
irrigation, the subject was more gen.
orally discussed than heretofore, and a
foundation was laid for practical adj
vance in the immediate future. The
idea of the reclamation of arid lands is
better understood than ever before,
and the question is now in shape for a
good reclamation bill. If the people of
the West will see that Representatives
are elected on a stout irrigation plat
form, there is little doubt that bill
looking in the right direction can be
passed. National Irrigation.

its management is patting himself on
the back and uses the big am little u.
The Leisure Hour Club float was the
prettiest thing out in the parade, and
its "get-off" in the Mardis gras parade
was the best in that exhibition. The
Leisure Hour Club was represented on
the float by number of young ladies,
and in the imitation in the Mardis gras
parade the same float was used, and
there were number of squaws on the
float playing Indian poker, and it was
labeled the LAZY Hour Club"

This year has been what farmers call
"wet year." and last year was COM
paratively dry year, referring to the
quantity of water flowing down the
Carson and Walker rivers for purposes
of irrigation. Yet am informed that
the crops were far better last year than
they are this year. This fact demon
strates, if anything, that farmers use
too much water, and that too much
water, like too much whisky, is not
good. -

They use large quantities of water to
float trusts. For instance, if it was de-
sired to create butter trust in Ne
vada, all of the butter makers in Ne
vada would be organized into one cor
poration, and if the present capital
stock Of the butter makers is 81 200, 600,
the new corporation would be organ
lied with a capital stock of 5000, 900,
and they would issue stock to that
amount upon the basis of the same
amount of property. In other words,
whereas before the trust all of the
property was represented by 81 900, 00o
worth of stock, after the creation OF
the trust the same property would be
represented by S5,OO0,000 worth OF
stock. There would be $4,000,000
worth of water in the stock, or $4,000,-
600 of the stock would be water.
Thousands of millions of dollars worth
of water has lately been put into stocks
in the United States. Now, look out
for a delnge when that water gets
squeezed out.

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The gold Demo-
Gratis captured the Ohio convention,
refused to reaffirm. the principles an
nocaced in the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms, and Kissed the name OF
Bryan and turned him down by vote
Of $50 against 6. It also turned down
Frank Monnett, former Attorney Gen
eral of the State of Ohio, for the same
Office. The convention adopted an
antitrust plank. Monnett, -as Attor.
ney General brought suits against the
Standard Oil Company Trust, and
other corporations to forfeit their char
tiers for violation of antitrust laws,
and fought the cases with marked abil-
ity and persistency. Any one can see
the utter hollowness, inconsistency
and hypocrisy of an antitrust plank in
q party platform adopted by conven-
ton which refused to nominate the
strongest and ablest antitrust Attor-
ney General yet developed in the
United States, TO say nothing of being
adopted by a convention which re-
fused to reaffirm the principles enun-
eiated In the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms, and which Kissed the name
of Bryan and tramped upon and tore
q banner upon which his name was in
scribed. The fact that Bryan and
Bryanism was so completely repudi-
ated by the Democratic convention of
Ohio receives the warmest commenda-
tion and approval of the Republican
press. This alone ought to be enough
TO put heao in a mans ear, and
enough to repudiate the present Ohio
Democracy. The fact that the plat
form is silent with reference to the SUI
preme Court of the United States is
also highly commended by the Repub-
lican papers. II is evident that there
will be two Republican parties in Ohio
this year, one of which will be called
Democratic. Mr. Bryan is to be con-
graduated over being Kissed by the
Ohio Democratic Republican conven-
ton. 1t is believed that the principles
announced by the Ohio convention are
put forth to "cut the pace" for the rest
of the Democracy. There is certainly
one principle in it that have always
stood by, and that is tariff for revenue
only, or practical free trade. How
ever, If the principle finds its support
only by such men as made up the
late Ohio convention, put me down as
voting the Republican ticket as a
choice of two evils. 1t might be better
to give the Republican hog more rope
until he disgusts the country to vomit.

On Gambettn,s Tomb.
Nice, April 9.-President Loubet, ac-i
companied by the French ministers and
other officials, placed a crown Of flowers
upon Gambettas tomb today. He ex-
pressed the hope that the French par.
lament would soon vote to transfer the
remains to the pantheon.
At a banquet later. replying to toast
TO his health, Loubet asserted that the
principals of justice, solidarity and good
will were the foundation of the republic
and nseparable to France. He said the
country needed unity and concord, and
the conflict Of interests OF the country
increasing would end in compromising
the future Of the nation, unless steps
We're take!. TO ameliorate the social con-
aitions. Solidarity and civil peace could
rot be secured except by reciprocal
sacrifices Private interests must be
s,,bordinated to the greater interests OF
the nation. The republic had already
shown, in its legislation appreciation of
the necessities of the laboring democ-
racy, but legislation alone would not
suffice. The give and take principle
must become part Of the conscience Of
the nation. Thus could the country
weld its unity and assure its moral
grandeur and material prosperity. His
speech was loudly applauded.

Higher Tux onlron Property

Duluth. Mimi, April "a movement
;s under way that will result in greatly
increasing the tax assessments on the
iron properties of this state, which are
mostly controlled by the new steel
combine. At present the mining prop
critics are assessed for purposes of tax
alton at something less than $4,000, 900
IT is proposed TO make this $4,000 900.
The tax officers figure that ON the ba-
sis of the offer made by Morgan & Co.
of $40 in combine stock for $500 of Con-
solidated the Consolidated properties
are worth s6O.oco.ooo at the present mar
het value. Last year the Consolidated
shipped two-fifths of the iron ore that
left this state. and on that basis 1t is
figured that the iron mines are worth at
least sl5O,ooo.ooo. Property here is as
sessed at half its actual value for taxa
ton, and on that basis the assessment
will be s19,oOoooo. An investigation Will
he made, however, that may result in a
still greater increase
