SUGGESTION
NEVADA IN NEED OF A FISH
COMMISSIONER
Every County in the State to
be Benefited

tits but few weeks and the Legisla-
ture is to meet in this city for the pur-
pose of enacting laws for the good of
the people and no single individual.
Every paper in the State suggests
some law that is needed and most of
the suggestions are good ones. The
papers naturally realize the needs ct
the people as they make their CON-
plants to the news gatherers.
Among the laws which have been
suggested to the Appeal IS the estab-
fishing Of fish commissioner There
is no question as to the need. Every
stream in the State has become either
depleted or is low in stock On account
Of the doing away with the commiss-
icner some vars ago. The first rea-
son given for the abandonment of
this important branch was economy
The State is today IN a better state
financially than in it's history and the
reason OF lack Of funds should not
stand in the way of an appropriation
for this addition to the State.
, Take the Truckee river. It is re-
| garded as one Of the finest fishing
| streams on the coast, and people from
far and wide make trips yearly to
the Truckee to cast their lines. The
(. lakes in the State are in sad need Of
restocking, as can be certified to by
every person who has been a visitor
at any of the resorts. The State Of
Nevada depended on the generosity
Of California last year for what little
material she received in the way Of
restocking her streams, and the amo-
unit received was not sufficient to GO
! beyond the waters OF the Truckee.
Walker lake furnishes one of the
object lessons. This lake is one OF
the largest en- the coast. if not the
the largest, and in years gone by i,

SECURED
A PARDON
GOVERNOR SPARKS HELPS
A FRIEND
innocent Man Released From
Prison

Yesterday afternoon Governor-elect
John Sparks received telegram from
Boise City, Idaho, stating that Jack
Davis, better known as "Diamonddeld
Jack" has been pardoned from the
penitentiary of that State and was a
free man.
Over six vars ago Davis was accused
Of having killed a man in Idaho, and
after tedious trial was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged. The case
was carried through ali the courts Of
Idaho and the United States and Davis
was finally sentenced to States prison
fer life
Previous to the alleged killing, Da-
Wis had been in the employ of John
Sparks for about two months and sew
cred his connections with him three
, weeks before he was arrested or rath-
er before the crime for which he has
suffered was committed. Owing to
circumstance and facts in the pOss-
ession CT Mr. Sparks at the time, he
| firmly believed Davis to be innoceni
of the crime and he resolved to do all
in his power to see that he had fair
play.
In an interview Mr.. Sparks said
last night when asked about the mat
| ter:
Yes, | knew "Diamondfield Jack

two months in Idaho l was convinced
that he was being merely railroaded

consequently could not stand idly by

ferent trials and am heartily glad thai

IMPROVEMENT

REAL BELONGINGS
New Departures Cause Favor
able Comment

The Reno Journal of yesterday con-
tains the following favorable comment
on the city improvements that are go
ing on here, and the best feature Of
the paragraph is that it is true:
Carson is climbing up the ladder
right along, and when she has added
few more improvements will be a city
indeed. The latest thing in the i'm
provements line is the acquisition of
two forty-foot ladders for the use Of
the two fire departments of that place.
The commissioners are now looking ov-
er catalogues, etc, with view of pur-
chasing hook and ladder service.
This is q step in the right direction
and shows that the CAPITAL City peo-
! pie have an eye to business, for an
ounce Of prevention is worth all the
cures one could put in box ca, es
pecially in case Of fire."

There are two kinds of boys in blue in
indianapolis to-day-the boys of forty
years ago and the boys of now. They might
be called. respectively. postgraduates and
undergraduates of Uncle Sans volunteer
army school. The old boys matriculated in
1861, took a four-year course, were gradu-
ated in 1866 and have since been taking the
university extension course as citizens. The
young fellows are just entering as fresh
men. They will qualify for a postgraduate
course, though probably they will not do as
much hard work or know as much when
they get through as the old boys did. 1t
was a happy thought to bring together the
annual encampment of the State militia
and that OF the Grand Army of the Re
public. thus putting two generations of SOL
diers in touch and giving the young men
who are ready to do and dare a chance to
see the surviving members OF an army that
gave the State its chief military reputa-
ton. In this combination it is entirely
proper that the veterans should be the CEN
ter of interest, but the militia should not
be overlooked. If the old men have fired

guns loaded and are ready to advance. The
organized militia of the country is still
it's strong right arm in time of peace or
war, and Indiana stands among the fore
most States in respect of the organization,
equipment and support of it's militia. The
last Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
military purposes, including the equipment
and support of the militia. the aymen of
officers and men, and the expense of an an
nual encampment. These encampments have
ceased to be mere frolics. They have an
element of recreation and comradeship. as
they ought to have. but they are primarily
and essentially schools of military in
struction. They afford a much better school
ing in the fundamentals of military life
than the volunteers of 1861 had; probably
the latter would have mastered the soldier
ing business much quicker and more to
their satisfaction if they had had the pre-
liminary instruction which the militia now
get. The latter may never be called into &C
tive service. but one cannot tell what may
happen. For the present il is enough to
know that Indiana has a better militia law
and a better organized militia than ever
before, and that it can be depended upon
for serious duty in any emergency. 1t is to
be hoped the boys will not forget during
the present encampment that, to some ex-
tent, they have the honor OF the State in
their keeping. They should show the
veterans that they are worthy TO be their
SUCCESSORS.

THE PHILIPPINE CONCENTRATION
CAMPS.

Further evidence regarding the concen-
tration policy pursued by our army in the
Philippines is found in a statement by
General Wheaton of the reasons why the
policy was adopted. \ report of an in
spection Of the concentration camps which
was made by Colonel a. L. Wagner showed
that the natives in them were we'll fed,
healthful and contented. This report was
forwarded to Washington by General
Wheaton. who, in an Endorsement upon it,
said:
purpose of protecting the natives from
the guerrilla bands in the provinces OF
Laguna and Batangas. After more than
two years occupation OF these provinces
il has been found impossible 10
these bands or capture their leaders, owing
to the reign of terror which they exercise
over the inhabitants. Their systematic
assassination-sOmetimes by burying alive
of natives who refused to contribute TO
the eupport of the instruction enabled
them TO wiring a steady war revenue from
people presumably enjoying the privileges
of free government and the protection of
the United States. This has now termi-
mated; nearly all the arms in the hands OF
guerrillaS have been captured or have been
surrendered. and there is a prospect of
an early termination of disturbed condi-
lions in provinces under military control.
This shows that the establishment OF the
concentration camps had a double motive
weakening the insurgents and protecting
the noncombatants whom they were ter
rorizing. 1t was defensible on the double
ground of a military measure permitted
by the laws of war, and as a measure of
humanity in order TO protect the victims
of guerrillas. The camps here referred to
were established in the provinces of Ba-
tangas and Laguna. and the beneficial re-
suits are shown by a statement of the
secretary of war that Within a compare
lively few weeks after this policy was
inaugurated the guerrilla warfare in Ba-
tangas and Laguna and the adjacent re-
gions. with all it's accomplishments Of
long-continued suffering, destruction and
assassination, has been ended, the authority
of the United States has been asserted and
acquiesced i'm. and the people who had
Of concentration have been permitted to
return again to their homes and resume
their customary pursuits in peace" Yet
this action of our army in the Philippines,
adopted from the most p~raiseworthy
motives. conducted in the most humane
manner, and productive of such excellent
results. is what Democratic malignants in
the Senate are denouncing as the cruel
reconcentrado policy inaugurated by the
infamous Weyler in Cuba"

life. This was a very admirable society,
but il was much criticised on account of
it's exclusiveness. only officers being eligible
TO membership, and also on account of the
provision making eligibility to membership
hereditary. Owing TO this criticism and the
unpopularity it caused, the society was
dissolved i'm several OF the States early in
the century. and the organization is now
confined to a few States. There was for
merly a society of veterans Of the war Of
1872. and there is a society of Mexican vet
Grams, one Of soldiers who have fought
in Indian wars and one of Spanish-Amer-

Many Indiana veterans may have forgot
ten. if they ever knew it. that the Legisia-
ture Of 1865 passed a joint resolution of
thanks 10 the soldiers and providing for
the registry and preservation of the names
of those who have fallen in the service of
their country during the present war" The
resolutions contained an expression of
warmest gratitude TO the soldiers in the
field and OF pride lin the noble valor and
bravery that have SO ~signally distinguished
them on many hard-fought fields They
further directed the state librarian TO pre-
pare a complete list for future preserva-
tion for the use OF this State Of the names
OF all Indiana soldiers. whether officers or
men, who might be killed or die during the
war. with a full statement of his services.
20 be printed under the title Of Indiana
Roll of Honor and preserved i'm the State
Library. The resolutions directed the Gov
ernor TO transmit a copy of them 10 every
general officer and the colonel or command
ing officer of every regiment from the
State. with a request that they lay the
same before the Indiana soldiers under
their comamnd." No doubt this was done,
and many surviving veterans may recall
the incident.

The suit which the government has
brought against the beef trust is sufficiently
comprehensive 20 satisfy every one who
can be satisfied that no point has been
overlooked or omitted in the preparation
OF the case. il is charged that the de-
fendants have conspired. in violation of the
Sherman law, 10 create a monopoly by ar
bitrarily fixing prices upon cattle bought
OF stockmen and upon meat sold TO dealers.
The packing companies are specifically
charged with combining to prevent compe-
titive bidding on cattle. forcing the cat
tie men 10 sell 10 their agents at less than
a fair value. They are also charged with
initiating the prices at certain points for a
few days 20 inveigle cattle men TO send
stock TO those places until there was a
glut in the market. when prices would be
reduced. They are also charged with COM
polling dealers to make prices under the
threat Of not furnishing them meats, when
they controlled 60 per cent. of The trade.
Thus the trust has been able to squeeze
both producers and consumers, while the
rebates granted by the railroads stihed all
competition. If the government cannot
make a case under its specifications an
other law than the Sherman antitrust law
will be needed.
