election TO the United states Senate
has forced the Republican party of Ne
vada to reform their lines, and pre-
liminarily thereto they have changed
the date of holding their State conyen-
tion until after the filsionists have held
theirs. Senator Jones, having at all
times voted for and supported all of
party, could probably get more money
from the National Committee than
any other man in Nevada. He is a
man of remarkable ability, exceedingly
popular, magnetic and attractive, and
the peer of any man in the United
States Senate. His call for ''more
mud" would have been heard. He
never made losing fight in Nevada.
His health is very good. I can CON
strue his withdrawal simply as q re-
quest from the Central Pacific Rail
road Company, where all candidates
for the United States Senate from Ne
vada must s'hold their primaries
Now that the Republican party of Ne
vada is left without "a sack" it has
but one of two courses to follow: they
can put up rafting good ticket of
honest men, and depend upon their
honesty, ability and integrity for sue
cess, or they can put up a lot of "stic1s''
to be knocked down. For my part,
give me honest men, with ability and
integrity.
'sWhat is that form lying on the Mint
lawn there?' "Why, that is Eddie Won
Der Lieth, with his ear glued to the
ground, listening to the harmony in the
fi1sionist camp over the office of Sec
rotary of State. Yesterday he said it
sounded. like a quarrel between Pelee
and Soufrieren
1t is..downright ingratitude on the
part of,Andrew Carnegie to offer $780,
0O0,00 to the United States for the
Philippines, in order to grant the Fill
pinos their liberty, after having made
all his money through the high pro-
tective tariff, in the very way that the
party bosses want to make some more.
Bishop Potter, in a talk at Yale re
Gently, said that the citizen has the
right to ask every rich man elbow did
you get your money?n True, and be-
lieve the citizen has an equal right to
ask every poor man "How is it you
have no moneyT' More publicity might
result in evening mp things a little.
Senator George f. Hoar of Mass
achusetts is one of the very few men
who can walk up to the Devil and call
him Devil-one of the very few men
who can stand for principle against
popular clamor. He addressed the
Senate on the Philippine bill recently,
and l take few excerpts from his
speech:
"You are fighting for sovereignty:
you are fighting for the principle of
eternal dominion over that people. and
that is the only question in issue in |
that conflict
The result of a conflict of arms of |
such character inevitably was that
there would be cruelty on one side end
retaliation by cruelty on the other,
and the responsibility rested upon
those who made the policy.n
'Ihe United States are fighting to |
secure a dependency, not Republic:
government of our making, and not |
a government of the Filipinos MAX
ing
What have your ideals cost YOU?
For the Philippine Islands, you have
had to repeal the Declaration of indie
pendence. For Cuba, you have had to
reaffirm and give it new lustre. For
the Philippine Islands, you have had to
convert the Monroe doctrine into a
doctrine of mere selfshness. For Cuba,
you have acted ON it and indicated it,
In Cuba, you have the eternal gratitude
OF free people. In the Philippines.
You have the hatred and suilen sub
mission OF subjugated people From
CUBA, you have brought home nothing
put glory From the Philippines, YOU
have brought home nothing of glory.n
When the Senator closed two-hour
speech he was loudly applauded by
people in the galleries and on the floor
ofthe Senate, and it being against the
rules, the presiding officer warned
those present to refrain from applause,
wherein Bacon of Georgia said that
the main applause came from the floor
of the Senate, and Foraker, one of
Ohio's favorite sons, said eyes, and on
the Democratic side" True, too true,
Mr.. Foraker, Republicans have not APP
plauded such sentiments since those
who were elected in 1864 went out of
Office.
There is great revival in fraternal
matters. The officers of lodges no
longer perform their ceremonies to
empty benches. Old familiar faces
that have not been seen since last cleo
ton are again in their accustomed
seats, with the solicitous inquiry about
