It seems that Judge Hawley, after
having been Judge of the United
States Circuit Court for dozen years
and having drawn thousands of dollars
in salary, is not taxpayer in Nevada.
The farmers and business men of this

Carson Letter.

EDITOR COURIER: The tariff has
always been, is now, and must ever re-
main, the leading issue before the
American people. The great bulk OF
the cost of maintaining the govern
ment is raised by means of the tariff.
How people. may be taxed, or con-
sent to be taxed, to maintain the COM
pact of government, of necessity, must
always be the leading issue. Nothing
concerns people so much as the bur-
dens of government, and how they
shall be distributed and imposed; who
shall bear the brunt, and carry the
greatest weight; how can the weight
be best distributed to create the great
est satisfaction. The United States
comprises vast territory, embracing
torrid, frigid and temperate zones, and
their diversified products. The Sec
tions which enjoy cheap water
and coal--are best adapted to carry on
manufacturing industries These in
dustries are highly protected by means
of the tariff. There is also consider
able protection afforded to lumber
men, fruit growers and sheep and cat
tie men. The miner and the general
farmer receives practically no protec-
ton, and therefore the burden falls the
heaviest upon him. For this reason
the farmers of Iowa, Wisconsin and
other States of the great northwest and
middle west are dissatisfied, and they
demand REIMBURSEMENT of the tariff, SO
as to equalize the burden of govern
ment. The stalwart Republicans
brazenly proclaim that no Republican
should have any voice in the counsels
oftheir party who makes any such de-
mand, or in any wise falters on the
tariff. These widely divergent views
entertained by manufacturing Repub-
licans, and the Republican farming
element representing widely different
interests, and different sections of the
country, are simply irreconcilable, and
must split the party wide open, and
force a realignment of men in their
positions--force western Republicans
into the Democratic party. By allow
ing fair trade Republicans to practic-
ally dictate the revision of the tariff,
the Democratic party could install it
self into power for an indefinite period.
No sweeping change should be made,
30 as not to disturb trade conditions
violently, and fair trade Republicans
and Democrats could readily reconcile
their differences on that principle.
Even some stalwart Republicans recog-
nike the fact that some concessions
must be made to their brethren, and
what othey propose? They propose
to take the tariff off from hides entire
ly and reduce it on wool. They may
also reduce it on other ndustries--such
as are least able to punish the party
for it's action, and such as contribute
the least towards it's campaign funds.
This being the position of the Republic
can party, and its danger in the middle
west and northwest, agree with the
Silver party leaders of Nevada, that it
would be shame to return Republi-
cans to Congress, and assert that it
was shame that they did not think of
it during the sessions of the nominal
ating conventions.

be speedily found for both himself and
Karl, II he had to attach them person
ally to himself as aides.
That was enough for Paul.
He renewed his prstsstations Of al
legtance to the double eagles OF Prus-
STA, and went out from his interview
with the Crown Prince, his neart filled
with love and loyalty toward that sim
gularly attractive man who had once
been the boy friend Of his own father
in the days long since passed.
Paul knew he would receive his or
ders in good time. and meanwhile
there were several necessary things he
and Karl must attend to.
Thus the day wore on.
Paul was no longer worrying about
the designs of the countess. He did
not imagine Berlin held any dangers
for one who. like himself, carried the
personal autograph of the Crown
Prince, and was already in manner
identified with the army.
Still there were elements about the
existence of which he knew nothing,
working for his downfall.
The knowledge was brought upon
him suddenly and with alarming
force.
Karl and himself had dlned at Spar
guapanis on Inter den Linden, and
separated upon leaving the famous
restaurant each having some minor
business of importance to transact.
Paul was enjoying cigar as he
sauntered along, and taking consider
able satisfaction from the weed, as
only man may who has dined well.
The hour had grown late, though
one would never suspect it, judging
from the streets, which were still
thronged with crowd consisting of
citizens and soldiers, singing patriotic
songs and uniting in occasional hoarse
cheers. as some well known military
man appeared upon the strasse hurry
ing to keep an appointment at scme
night council.
While Paul was forcing his way
through one of these crowds, forming
cheveux de frise with his elbows to
keep off boarders, he felt hand pluck
at HIS sleeve. nc Mdu MdOc q Ac-
spectful salutation.
Pardon, is it Herr Rhinelander

Paul replied that he had certainly hit
the mark.
Then he saw with satisfaction that
the other moved his hand toward his
inner pocket
"Ah | have a communication for
you, Herr Rhinelander,' he said SOL
EMMY.
OF course-orders to report at once
and accompany the Crown Prince to
the border, where the hostile armies
faced each other like giants eager for
THE fray.
Paul's blood tinsled with expecta-
ton. The rustic OF the paper seemed
to conjure up pictures of bivouac and
bat1le-at least, it aroused anticipa-
lions of speedy action, and this pros
pect pleased his restless spirit.

CHILD HELD TO INHERIT.
lIlesitimate Daughter Of an Iowa Man
Gets Estate.

Des Moines, May 15.-The supreme
rosart has affirmed a decision OF Judge
3. P. Birdsall OF the Hamilton county
bench in the well known case OF Ruby
j. Britt, the illegitimate child OF Reu-
ben S. Bennett, deceased. who died
leaving large estate and no direct
heirs. Judge Birdsall held that Ruby
Britt had been notoriously recognized
as the child Of Bennett during his life
time, and she was therefore entitled
TO his entire estate, composed OF
large amount of real estate and per-
sonal property. The supreme court
afirms the decision.
The contention was based entirely
upon the admission OF letters, written
by Bennett to his daughter. and recog-
nizing her as such. Inc defendant
contended that these letters were not
admissible and that the plaintiff was
not entitled to testify as TO their au-
thenticity. The court holds that the
letters were positive proof that the
woman was BENEFITS illegitimate
daughter and that as such they are
admissible under section 1886 Of the
code. The court also holds that the
testimony of the illegitimate child
was admissible inasmuch AS it tended
only to establish the identity Of the
letters and the fact as to their re
ceint

SULTAN LOVES MUSIC.
Grand Pianos Purchased for the Ladies
~ the Harem,

Grand Pia nos Purchased for tho Ladies
Of tho Harem.
1t will be news to most people that
the Sultan OF Turkey is an enthusiastic
musical amateur. The statement, how
ever is nevertheless true.
A well-known AngloGerman firm
has just sent his majesty two more
grand pianos. This firm has already
supplied him with many such instru-
ments, but the Sultan is still unsatis-
fed.
He does not play himself but some
of the ladies of his harem do, and. OF
course, many brilliant pianists perform
before him. But if he does not play
himself. he is at any rate fond Of sing
ing to music.
The Shah is another lover Of musical
Instruments The same firm has also
supplied him with grand pianos. His
majesty takes, the greatest interest too,
in his Band, and he is a keen collector
Of musical instruments and is said to
be a connoisseur in fiddles. Strangely
enough, too, those huge mechanical
structures which are SO commonly
found in Germany and Russia, and
which purport to be organ, orchestra
and brass band in one, are very popu-
lar both with the 81 ltan and the Shah.
Another curious fact is that a grand
piano has just been bought by an Arab
sheik at Khartoum. 1t is to be played
by his chief wife.

anxiously inquired if he had brought
bad news from Heidelberg.
The truth you must know at once
no matter how it cuts. Heroic meas
ures are best. Prepare, then, for
shock, my friend Some one you De
lieved dead has appeared on the
scene"
Who is it," asked Paul, slowly.

believed, would have done better 10
have remained dead to the world at
least"
Paul started as if struck wicked
blow. MY God. Do you mean-my
mother"
His companion slowly nodded his
faxen head.
"Alive-and fondly believed the
grave had forever buried her sad secret.
Alive. and she has returned to Bea-
Irix?"
Paul dropped his head into his hand
YEARLY. and seemed to be wrapped in
deep thought.
and Karl made no attempt to break
in upon his sad reflections. At length
Paul raised his head.
Il am ready to hear what you know,
Karl, although l can perceive that it is
far from pleasant news. Make 1t as
brief as you possibly can, consistent
with the facts

Again Paul seemed to stare into
vacancy,
He was thinking OF the past, think
ing of that dearly beloved father who
had suffered so keenly through this one
fatal fault of the woman who had
borne his name and been the mother
of his children. That father had
borne his cross in silence and never
had Paul heard him curse the fate
that made him an exile from his peo-

WHERE ARROWHEADS GROW.


Professors Argument Not Based on
Sound Principles.
When vacation comes, Dr.. Branner,
the head of the Stanford geological de-
partment, HES himself far away from
all things pedagogical to the remote
Businesses of the mountains, and there
studies the formation of the rocks and
reads the life history Of earth in the
deposits of the ages.
Last vacation he was in the Sierras.
He had as his guide man indigenous
TO the soil who had never been 20 miles
from the home of his childhood. He
looked with much amusement and
scorn upon Dr.. Branner and his assist
ants, and saw nothing in the work
that was of interest. TO him the stu
dents seemed more like good men gone
daft.
One day Mr.. Branner located an old
Indian burying ground. In digging he
came upon some choice arrow heads.
Thinking to test his guides geological
as we'll as his chronological knowledge,
the doctor said:
"Elijah do you know how these ar
row, heads came here?'
"Growed thar" said the native, with
great positiveness.
"Nonsense. If you were to take an
arrow head and put it on your table
and leave it there for a years time, do
YOU think it would grow
faint no nonsense, nuther,' said
Elijah. "If you was to take potato
and put it on your table, and leave it
there fur year, do you think it would
grow ?"~-San Francisco Wave.

CHAPTER XIV.

Since woman who sinned were for
given in Palestine when He walked the
earth, had Paul Rhinelander, merely a
poor, weak, erring mortal himself, any
right to refuse to forget especially
when the sinner was his own mother.
and years of atonement had witnessed
her repentance?
Thus he put the question to himself,
and as he wrestled, his better nature
assumed the upper turn. so that he
came out with firm determination to
sooner or later seek tins mother, and
bring her the message of forgiveness
he had heard his father mutter as he
passed away.
He felt better when he had deter
mined on this step, and pressed Karl
for further news. Without further
preliminary the latter said:
"Hildegarde is taking lessons to be
a nurse
"What?'
"A hospital nurse"
And go with the army to war;
"Just so. admire her for it, God
bless her brave heart declared Karl.
Paul was visibly distressed.
ITO think of gentle girl like her
being exposed to the horrors OF bat
tlefield-it is monstrous.'
She does not think so-she is will
ing to go wherever brave German SOL
diers hew way. 1t is fate, my Paul,
and whether you fancy the idea or not
matters very little. If, by the kind
ness of Providence. both of you come
out of the affair safe and sound, per-
haps l may be permitted to dance at
your wedding"
But Paul only shook his head.
The future looked too dark and for
bidding for him to think of attaining
such happiness-he could not conceive
that it lay in store for him.
The next day marked an era in Ber-
lin.
The feeling of suspense was gone,
and people knew the worst-they could
talk openly now without getting into
trouble. and discuss the problem which
Bismarck had undertaken to solve with
sword and Dayonet after all manner
OF diplomacy had failed.
Paul sailed forth.
SO did the old veteran, cane and all,
There were many sturdy difficulties
in the way. but ingenuity, together
with well-directed supply Of silver
groschens and an occasional interview

MINERS STRIKE.
IS CONTINUED
Miners Vote to Continue the
Fight to the Bitter
End.
las, 1000 MEN WILL STOP WORK
Miners Have Been preparing for Eighteen
Months and Are Thought to BE In Good
Condition for Fight-Operators Oppose
Any Concession.

HaZelton, Pa, May 1.-THE anthra.
cite mine workers, in convention late
yesterday afternoon, by vote OF
461A to 349a, decided to continue
the strike Of the $4,000 men against
the mine owners and to fight it out to
the bitter end. The matter of calling
out the engineers. firemen and pump
runners will be decided by the dele.
gates today.
The step taken yesterday by the
miners after practically considering
the matter for two months has wiped
out the uncertainty of the situation,
and it is freely predicted that the
most serious labor struggle in the
history Of the country. if not in the
world, is about TO begin. That is the
view taken by nearly every miner.
While the leaders are cautious and
will not forecast their actions. it is not
unlikely that the miners fight will be
carried into the bituminous coal
regions and into otter fields OF in.
dustry.
Mine workers for eighteen months
have been looking forward to this
strike, and are considered to be in
better shape today for a fight than
they were in the great strike OF 1900.
That struggle ended in the mine
owners giving the men 10 per cent
advance after six weeks suspension.
lac operators are on record as being
unalteraoly opposed to granting the
men any concessions, and they have
personally informed the mine workers
leaders TO that effect.
The workmen lear that the present
fight may mean the destruction of
l.leir organization. because they be.
lieve that the mine owners are bent
more on wrecking their union than
they are in opposing the demands for
higher wages and shorter days.
