COMPARISON WILL BE MADE.

William Il. Curtis, the well known
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Record-Herald, Whites entertain
ingly of President McKinley's tour. lie
says the public will be apt TO compare
Mr.. McKinley's utteranees with those
of President Harrison made on sim
liar trip some years ago, and also with
the orations which Colonel Lamont pre-
pared by the aid of an encyclopedia in
advance of tour which President
Cleveland once made through the south.
Contrasting Mr.. McKinley's methods
with those of Harrison and Blaine the
writer says:
president Harrison delivered the
most remarkable series Of oratiOns that
ever came from the lips of a man. lie
spoke from the platform of his car at
least twice day for several weeks and
never repeated himself or uttereda dull
line. The late General Garfield made n
record for itinerant eloquence during
the campaign when he was running for
the presidency, but his speeches were
few in number compared with those de-
livered by General Harrison, and his
topics were selected by the convention
that nominated him. President Harri-
son did not allude topolitical questions
except once or twice, but discussed al
most every other subject within the
scope of human activity and contempo-
rary issues.
president Mckinley will therefore
be at a disadvantage, and If he APP
proaches General Harrison's record it
will be remarkable, lie will make
many more speeches no doubt. He is
the most obliging man in the world and
always responds to a call. while llarri-
son had n fixed and Interchangeable pro-
gram. President Mckinley allows shim-
sell To he governed by circumstances
and sacrifices his strength to crafty
the people.
when Mr.. Blaine used to 60 about
the country in a special train he shut
himself up in stateroom 10 husband
his strength and his voice. and would
never make a speech unless notified in
advance. When President Mckinley
travels he permits committees from
the towns along the road to crowd about
his car, aud always chats familiarly
with them as the train moves on. IL
they ask him TO speak he invariably
does 50 without hesitation. although il
is not in his program. During his last
trip he was prepared for nine speeches,
but made over thirty, and when told
him about the habit of Mr.. Blaine and
General Harrison he explained that it
was much easier for him to crafty the
people thanto decline their invitation"
No doubt President McKinley's
specch-malSing record will compare
favorably with his predecessors, even
though the latter were brilliant men
and gifted in oratory. The man who
stands close by the people and draws
his inspiration from them and the
many scenes and incidents that arise
spontaneously, is apt to say things that
viii touch their hcart,apd last through
the ages, even though lacking in stud

1t is now generally known and un-

eating this poison, and destroying the
craving for intoxicants. Sufferers may

Thieves Make a Big Haul.

Monday night the Selby Smelling
works near San Francisco wererobbed
of $3.50, 900 in gold bullion. The haul
made by the thieves is the largest in
the history of the west and the robbery
was one of the boldest and most skill
full on record. The robbers dug tun-
mel under the Office and had evidently
been working for month or more.
During the daytime the mouth of the
tunnel was covered over with neat
fitting wooden cover, and loose gravel
spread over this. Employees of the
smelter passed over this frequently,
but no one noticed anything wrong.
The robbers drilled holes through the
floor of the strong room and securing
the gold bricks, carried them away in
boat. The gold taken by the thieves
weighs 200 pounds.
Detectives say that there is little
hope of apprehending the robbers.
Very likely they have cached their
plumber and scattered. The crude
gold cannot easily be identified, and
the fine gold can be alleged before it is
offered for sale.
A reward of $25, 900 is offered for the
recovery of the gold.

his remarks. The employment of
teachers in several towns in Nevada is
a matter of great discomfort among in
dependently minded people. The
Trustees are elected in many instances
by the political work of those seeking
employment, and many succeed in
getting positions irrespective of their
fitness or ability to teach. It is no
wonder, then, that teachers will "bend
the pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift may follow fawning."

THE WEEKLY COURIER.
Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The Southern
Pacific Railroad Company has $780,
100000 of water stock-stock behind
which there is not one dollar of money
or property of any kind--nothing but
hot air. The corporation pays per
cent interest on one-half that amount.
1t would seem that such a corporation
ought to be made to pay its share of
the expense of government which is
always at its disposal, and always in
voked by it to protect its ill-gotten
wealth. But it is not made to pay
over one-tenth of its just proportionate
share. In Nevada, the attorneys for
the Central Pacific argued before Judge
Hawley that the railroad can be as
sessed under the law only for the
amount that it would cost to parallel
the present road with another road in
this State, and that it would cost from
eight to twelve thousand dollars per
mile according to locality, and that is
all it could be assessed for; that its
through business, and its business. at
either end of the road, although de-
pendent upon the through business in
this State, could not be taken into con-
sideration. They also claimed that
the California business was far more
profitable than the Nevada business.
In California, the representatives of
the railroad appeared before the State
Board of Equalization on August 2,
and there they turned about face, and
argued exactly as the attorneys for the
Assessors in Nevada argued before
Judge Hawley, as shown by late
dispatch: ssThe Southern Pacific sys-
tenn came before the Board Of Equali-
cation to-day, being represented by E.
Black Ryan, claim agent, and @. &. ".
Reeve, assistant to the general auditor.
The Central Pacific Railway Company
was first taken up. Both representa-
tives were sworn, upon the request of
Equalizer Toland, this being the first
time the formality has been gone
through this year. Toland asked if, as
a matter of fact, the earning capacity
of the Central Pacific was not larger
in California than elsewhere. This
was admitted to be SO, but Reeve
claimed that the Nevada mileage was
necessary, and gave the California
mileage a large portion of its value:
The report gave the California earn
ings based upon the California proper
ton of the actual mileage of the entire
road. The road did not consider that
a greater value should be given the
California mileage" 1t will be OBJ
served that in Nevada the "road"
givsn g eks iSf Mlfeas Ss tan Is g
the Nevada mileage, and in California
it claims that no greater value should
be given to the California mileage, and
in that way dodge the payment of its
proportionate share of the burdens of
government in both States. They also
''use'' different witnesses and lawyers
in different States, and in that way
dodge perjury. The ''road'' received
a round million more during the last
year sthan it did the year before, but
according to the philosophy of its
agents, thct fact does not increase it's
value, for purposes of taxation. 1t
might not be bad plan to outlaw such
corporations, and refuse them the pro-
lection they refuse to pay for.

ey, high protective tariff, larger army,
non-union labor, coolie importation,
and other good things which the Re-

Professor James Earl Russell of
Columbia University, lecturing at the
Berkeley Summer School, recently
made the following admission with
reference to teachers as class:
"We are not only narrow, however;
we are too docile, too obedient. In no
other profession is such abJect submits
sion displayed. We cringe before the
ward politician. We submit because
we are narrow. g
And one of the reasons for this state
of things is that we are Incompetent
We are not able to do the work we arc
expected to do. We are not, as a class,
fitted to occupy the place we do. We
do not know enough of the subjects
that we are teaching. AS / look about
me, 1 doubt if things could really be
worse. We do not know the subjects
that we are trying to teach, and if we
did, we would not know how to teach
them"
