NeVada'S Shame.

Secure in the rapid advancement and
growth of the last year, Nevada can now
pause to glance back at the causes of her
degradation. Producing as much as
other States, she has nevertheless been
poverty stricken for nearly quarter of
century, and whyY
James G. Fair was one of the men who
arrived on the Comstock early enough to
become many times millionaire. He
glutted the old lode of its wealth aud
then purchased a seat in the United
States Senate. His term of office expir-
ing, he was through with the State that
made him wealthy and gave him honors.
He purchased the Lick House ia San
Francisco, paying $4,000, 900 or S3,OO0,OOO
for it; he purchased Spring Valley Water
stock and erected mausoleum for him
self that cost half million. But in
Nevada he erected no tomb for the min
ers whose lives were sacrificed In his in
terest, no investment OF a single dollar
as a recompense.
Flood was dispenser of sailors booze
in San Francisco, until Nevada came to
his rescue and made him millionaire.
He built the finest residence in San
Francisco, built the finest block of build
ings on market street but he built no
buildings in Nevada and paid no taxes
here.
John Mackey made millions in Ne
vada. He spent them in Europe and
New York and San Francisco. His
money spanned thu Atlantic Ocean. it
crossed the continent and now proposes
to span the Pacific. He has residences
in New York, London and in Paris, but
no home in Nevada. He has never
turned his hand over for the recent ad-
vancement of this State.
The Palace Hotel, the Grand HOTEL
the California Bank and other edifces
stand az monuments Calfornia-to
the generosity of Nevada as enjoyed by
Sharon and his millions, but there is
nothing in this State that prevented him
from dying unknown and yet there is
too. Mr.. Sharon left Nevada as legacy
his sou law, Francis G.. Newlands, who
would hold tenure to the office of Unit
ed States Senator. He is investing
nothing for its welfare.
Hearst became millionaire through
the m lgni6cence of the Sagebrush State.
Nevada's wealth is building monuments
to him. 1t has established three great
newspapers in the three greatest cities
of the United States Not one of them
is making any effort to repay the debt
their existence owes to Nevada. A por-
tion of it is going to erect great colleges
of learning in Berkeley, but there Is not
enough so that small amount may be
spared to Nevada.
Nevada gave $650,000,000 to lift dozens
of men from paupers to millionaires. or
this gigantic sum not one dollar has re-
manned in the State. Not one of the
men made any effort to develop any por-
tion of it. Not one of their heirs are in
anyway building up Nevada.
That money invested in Nevada would
have traversed her plains and mountains
with railroads. would have built storage
reservoirs on every stream, would have
titled the acres of every available section
Of land in the State, would have made
Nevada the leading producer OF the
world, would have filed her with educa.
tional institutions, with handsome build
of 100000 people AID ever-enduring
prosperity.

The New York Sun of last Saturday
has the following interesting copper
news: 1t was learned yesterday that the
copper trade in general is now figuring
upon the contract that is expected to re-
suit from the projected laying of Il cable
to the Philippines. 1t is estimated that
the cable will be seven thousand miles
long. Submarine cables contain from
seventy five to $50 pounds of copper to
the mile, and it was said yesterday that
the Philippines cable would probably
run from 450 to 600 pounds. That would
mean, roughly, 100000 pounds of cop
per.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

A short time ago | took a year
ling steer from bunch of cattle
purchased by Nick Sorge of Mrs
|. Watt. The animal looked to US
at the time as though it bore our
iron. Not wishing to hold the
cattle as Mr.. Sorge was ready to
load we agreed to leave the animal
here until its ownership was
proven. After clipping the hair
off from over the iron it was found
that the steer belonged to Mr..
Sorge.

Not So Bad,

We do not doubt Lawson's loyalty
we believe he loves his government
but in his methods he is little better
than Emma Goldman. We do not
wonder that when his outrageous lang
uage is commented upon he winces
and is ashamed. It speaks for his
better nature that it is so. But if the
honest, loyal, patriotic, thinking
voters of the Peoples Party do not
repudiate any such an appeal to them
as Lawson has made, we mistake their
temper and their pride of country
Alexandria Post News.
We are obliged to Editor Mitchell
for the above. He takes back or cor
reefs his imputation of disloyalty to
to the Peoples committee and gives
credit to the rank and file of the Peo-
ples' Party as being honest, loyal,
patriotic and THINKING citizens.
Now, if he will publish the address in
full that he comments upon so extern
sively, his effort to show that the COM
mittee is mistaken in judgment will
appeal with more force to his readers.
Lawson is not ashamed of the address
of which he wrote a portion and ap-
proved of the whole.

money classes, and It stands ready 10
|denounce as demagogue any person
who dares to attack this view Of ma
t1onal prosperity. And then the
country press belonging to the party
takes up the same tune. Thus MANY
Of the common people are led into tax
ing the same view of matters. 4. . ~
The peoples party believes that true
national prosperity must rest with the
people, not with favored few. 1t be-
lieves that extremes Of riches and pow
erty are dangerous to a country, be-
cause it creates hatred and strife. 1t
believes that when any legislation is
contemplated the question should be
what its effects would be on the mas
es. Hence it believes that everything
that can be made an instrument for ex-
torting the hard earned products of
labor from the people, such as means
OF transportation and intelligence and
the instrument of trade money should
be controlled by the people through
the government. It asks for no spe-
cial privileges for the people; it de-
mands only that no special care be
taken of the rich, as they are amply
able to take care of themselves. The
INSCRIPTIONS searcher for wealth sees
that this becomes the guiding principle
in legislation his chances of amassine
wealth at the expense of the masses
will be greately reduced, and so he re-
sorts to all means to keep that idea
down. We believe that the populist
idea is right. We believe that this
country is rich enough in material re-
sources to give every man who is will
ing to labor not only a subsistence
but competence. Believing this, and
seeing the opponents of this view lead
ing the republican party we shall con-
tinue to attack the policies of that
party, no matter how high respect
we may have tor individuals in that
party. One of these Numerically op-
posed views must be right and the other
wrong and consequently dangerous.
From our point of view the republic
can party represents the dangerous
principle, and it is our duty as citizens
to call attention to this danger.

A SAMPLE OF YELLOW JOURNALISM

The following from the Chicago
American will show why the capital
istic press is trying so desperately to
crush that paper by the cry of yellow
journalism. To attack any corpora
tion is extremely 'yellow" these days.
The American has fearlessly exposed
the tactics of the gas trust in Chicago.
and in order to get legal evidence of
the actions of that trust it publishes
the following challenge:
A WORD TO A PUBLIC PL1TN-
DEFER.
Possibly the Robber Gas Trust of
chicago thinks that it has not suffi-
cient ground for its s50O,OOO damage
suit against the Chicago American.
Possibly it is not entirely satisfied
with the case as it stands.
Possibly it would like to bring more
suits OF the same kind.
We purpose, therefore, in our feeble,
inefficient way, to give the Robber
Gas Trust, meaning the Peoples Gas
Light and Coke Company, ali the &C.
casion for suits that it can desire.
We state now our deliberate con-
vlction that the Robber Gas Trust,
meaning the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company, is an infamous plumb
erer and bandit, preying on the COM
munity.
Bring a suit on that.
We declare our conviction, based
on thorough inquiry, that 60 per cent
OF the money received from the people
OF Chicago by the Robber Gas Trust,
meaning the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company, comes from watered
stock, extortionate practices, pur-
chased legislation, usurpation of pub
lie rights, imposition on the helpless
people, and is therefore really more
infamous than the proceeds of the
burglar or highwayman.
Bring suit on that.
We declare that the Robber Gas
Trust, meaning the Peoples Gas Light
and Coke Company, is lawless in
stitution, that it exercises many of it's
privileges and pursues activities in
defiance and open violation of the law.
Bring a suit on that.
Come on with your suits and come
drumming. We want them all. We
have been trying for a long time to
get you people into court. If we can
do it by being sued, please sue us
every minute.

HE LOOKED DAZED.

An ex-congressman stood on a prom.
inent corner Ola few days ago and
denounced the Democrats, and espe-
cially Mr.. Bryan, for what he termed
"appeals to class prejudice" He as
serted that these appeals unsettled the
minds of people and made them dis
contented with their lot, and further
declared that the language used by
democratic orators in discussing po-
litical questions was Indirectly, if not
directly, responsible for the assassin
alton of President Mckinley. A
young man standing by conceded with
this view, and to prove the truth of
the assertion made by the ex congress-
man read the following:
''Human rights and privileges must
not be forgotten in the mad race for
wealth. The government of the people
must be by the people, and not by a
few of the people. Power, it must be
remembered, which is secured by op-
preston and usurpation, or by any
form of injustice, is soon over
thrown"
''That," asserted the young man,
sis the kind of talk that is continual
ly stirring up trouble between the diff
ferent elements of our population. It
is the doctrine of discomfort.
"That's right" asserted the ex-con-
gresham. ut is intended to make
the poor hate the rich. 1t is intended
to make people believe that our re-
public, is rapidly becoming an empire.
It is -. e.. ~%
"Oh, you ought to know better than
to talk that way about this speech, "
interrupted the young man. "That is
an extract from speech delivered by
William Mckinley only a few years
ago."
The republican .ex-congressman
looked dazed, then hastily changed
the subject.-The Commoner.
