THE ONLY REPUBLICAN HOPE.

Day by day it becomes clearer that the
Republicans nave no idea of winning a
general victory In November. and hat
their only hope is to gain some scatter
ing advantages here and there by divid-
ing the fusion vote. This is perfectly
apparent from the tone of the Republic
can press. If there is harmony and union
in a certain county IL is said that New
lands money was the factor which pro-
duced the result. If there is a failure to
unite it Is hailed as a gain for the Re-
publicans. When Judge Bonniield. for
reasons given, declines to accept the NOM
ination for State Senator in Humboldt,
he is lauded to the skies as a man who
would have made a very strong candi-
date-certain to carry Humboldt county.
Had he remained upon the ticket, or
la he been nominated for a State of
flee, the same newspapers would have
discredited and disparaged him all
through the campaign. Now, while rec
ognizing the fact that Humboldt county
is overwhelmingly against the Republi-
can party, those papers are claiming that
the disagreements among the fusionists
make II certain that Humboldt is lost
to Newlands. And so 1t goes all along
the line.-Journal.

The Republican papers which are hav-
ing so much to say of dissension in
Humboldt, and which even go so far as
to say that the county is lost to New
lands, are referred to the coming election
returns. The average Republican editor
is so thick-headed that considerable force
is necessary to drive ar idea in or out
of his head. 1t is a useless waste of en-
ergy to attempt argument with one of
these fanatical disciples of Hanna.
Disloyalty in Humboldt has no exist
ence. 1t is sheerest nonsense to assert
that the banner Democratic county in the
State is going to prove untrue to itself
and the fusion ticket.
But we do not care to argue the point.
For the proof of Humboldt's loyalty just
watch for the election returns from this
county oil November 9Th next.

In the eyes of many of the people of
Nevada the initiative and referendum
system of legislation, by which the peo-
pie may demand the enactment of any
desired legislation or annul any undesir-
able laws, is the greatest reform prin-
ciple of the age. The initiative and ref
erendum is declared for in the Demo-
cratic State platform and the principle
is rapidly becoming an issue in all the
States. 1t is in accord with the funda-
mental theory of the Democratic party
the right of the people to rule-and is
essentially a part of the true Demo-
cratic creed.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw is
turning the governments finances over
to the bankers of the country. He says
issued a statement in which he says
that the banks hereafter will not be re-
CURED to carry a reserve against the
government deposits secured by govern
ment bonds. The treasury has on de-
post with various banks scattered
throughout the country, from Maine to
California, and from Minnesota to New
Orleans, in round. numbers $3.50, 900. 00O
against which the banks have heretofore
been compelled to hold more than $50,
600, 900 of gold or its equivalent. This de-
cision will release that much reserve
and $50. 900, 900 additional credit.
In plain terms the SECRETARY of the
Treasury has given the banks the use
Of 100000, 600 of government money to as
sist them in maintaining Republican
prosperity. s

THE REPUBLICAN GAME.

A day or two since the Journal in a
brief editorial called attention to the in
tense anxiety of the Republicans for the
votes. Some of our Republican contem-
poraries devoted much space to the mat
ter of Judge Bonnifeld's withdrawal
from the Legislative ticket, declaring that
his action made the county certainly Re-
publican. The same papers would have
covered him all over with abuse If ne had
not withdrawn. Clearly 1t was not the
mere fact of his declining the nomination
that made these papers so jubilant. They
found their pleasure in the thought that
there might be a want of harmony among

the fusionists of Humboldt.

There is a lesson which Democrats
and Silver party men should study
closely. .
and conquer, so far as they expect to con-
quer at all. But the Republicans do not
expect to win generally, They are only
looking for advantages in spots. They do
not believe for a moment that they can
elect their entire State ticket. They have
no serious thought of defeating Mr.. New
lands. They do hope to cut into his ma
jority in the next Legislature by dividing
the fusion vote in the legislative districts.
More especially do they expect to elect
in this way as many State Senators as
possible, who will hold over and, of
course, vote for Mr.. Stewart two years
hence. Thus it will be seen. wherever
there is any local trouble about the fu-
sion forces uniting upon a single candi-
date, the State Senatorship is usually
the main cause of the inharmony. The
followers are what the Republicans are
now making their chief fight for. They
care but little for the Assembly nominees,
because so far as that body is concerned
the Republican cause is hopeless in this
campaign.
A good rule In politics, as in war. Is to
find out what you opponent wants you to
and then do something else. The Re-
publicans are intensely anxious for the
fusionists to divide, and therefore the fu-
sionists should weld themselves together
more firmly han ever.
There has not been disagreemnts
to affect the general result.
Those which have occurred lave not
come from any want Of accord among the
masses of the voters, but from conflict
ing personal ambitions. These may be
honorable or otherwise in different cases.
But this thing every honest voter should
bear in mind: No personal ambition
should be permitted to thwart the pop
ular will. or jeopardize the success of
those who are clearly in the majority.
Hence, everywhere, there should be a
effort TO concentrate the fusion
vote. Candidates who are in the field
merely as disturbers-who represent
nothing but themselves, should be abb
ignored. In general, this prob
ably will be lone. 1t ought to be lone in
all cases.
The voters should be intelligent enough
10 distinguish the true from the false. To
be sure there a be cases in which
both or all of the fuison candidates may
be perfectly sincere. Such candidates
must certainly be able to see that neither
personal ambition nor the public good
be subserved by presenting a divided
to the united enemy. Wherever the
fusionists are doing this they are simply
doing what their Republican opponents
want them to do, and it is the poorest
politics inaginable.-Reno Journal.

The Hon. Allen T. Bird, editor of the NOgales Oasis, announces with some heat and a suspicion of profanity that he desires no office and would accept none. He modestly calls attention io the great prosperity of the Oasis. and says it has been built up without po- litical patronage of any kind. The Oasis is deserving of success. for 1t is one of the most cleanly, respectable pa - pers in the southwest, and is edited with a care, originality and force rarely seen in the country press. Colonel Birds remarkable success should be an object lesson to the publications which still persist in living in a by-gone age and in believing that permanent pros perity or character or standing can be won by making political plunder the one object of existence.

CURRENT COMMENT

SECRETARY WILSON'S DoINGs.

During my trip abroad last summer l encountered many evidences of interest in our agricultural department. or course when I arrived home l had to go and tell Secretary Wilson all about it. He already knew it, perhaps, bu; there was a twinkle of appreciation In his eye as he looked up over his glasses while signing papers.
 More money is spent for scientific research by Secretary Wilson than by Harvard, Yale. Columbia. Chicago anI Leland Stanford combined. Six million dollars expended yearly and two thou sand trained scientists employed It certainly is calculated to make OUT European Eeighbors open their eyes iu Wonderment at the conquest of knowl- edge this department achieves. Over 700 separate publications and 10. .OOO. 900 documents are distributed every year. and nowhere are they read more keenly than in foreign lands. A prominent official in France said to me that he could not understand what advantage all this accrued knowledge was to us If We persisted in giving it away so generously. l asked Secretary Wilson concerning this. and he replied:
 Ut is by giving We receive. While foreign countries shut official doors against us, ours are wide open and We are always the gathers. Of the S2. 700. . OOO.COO of trade in our favor during the five years of McKinley's admininstra- tion, 2,400. .00O.0-0 was from farm pro- ducts, leaving only S3OO, ,OOO. 900 from all other sources.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. DEC. r, 19O:
ImbeciIe Street Management.

If any resident of Phoenix holds the belief that there is reason for feeling proud of the manner in which the street department is conducted. look at some of the streets and sidewalks will remove the delusiOn. The receni rains have given the city government an opportunity to exhibit an imbecility which had not been suspected. The business streets being unpaved, they are always in bad state immediately following a rain. This is especially true of the sides. next the sidewalks The traffic of one or two days is suffi cient to convert the portions most used into a muck" This Is unavoidable under the circumstances, and will re- main so until the streets are paved. Happily. rains are not frequent, and the sunshine and dry atmosphere soon transform all thoroughfares into ideal streets after the aforesaid muck" is removed.
 But herein lies the offending of the city government. The refuse is re- moved, but what is done with it, think you? It is scraped up and dumped on the sidewalks where such walks are not cement! Actually, this is done oR Washington street, in not a few places. The dirt sidewalks are graded up with this muck! The truck is indescribable. It is filthy in tn sense of decency.
 This stuff is dumped on the sidewalks and for several days after the next rain comes along and after every rain thereafter the walks so treated are i'm passable. In dry weather the stuff is q filthy dust. From every standpoint it is unfit for road-making or sidewalk repair of any kind. The walks sub jected to such treatment are infinitely worse than they could possibly have been before, and in some instance im- pOrtant sections of sidewalk which or dinarily are very good have been ruin ed. To gather up this loathsome refuse and place it on the sidewalks AS llOl OlIly SAl illSull lO every but is hurtful to all abutting property. UnquestiOnably it would appear, every owner of property thus treated has an action for damages against the city. Every year. thousands upon thousands of dollars are expended in stree, work" Much of it, we know, is for purely political graft" But little of the expenditure is beneficial, and in some cases. as here noted, it is exactly the reverse.
 And this raises an important ques- ton. If the city has a right 10 In- wade the sidewalks and improve them in this manner, why has it not the power to put in cement walks, or have them put in? But at any rate, the people who are drawing salaries for the work now going on would do the city a greater service if they would draw double salaries for doing nothing.
 We take it for granted that some O: the members of the city council are ignorant of the situation. We suggest that they take a look at Washington street, on the north side, between Third and Fifth streets, for an example
