THE IRISH SITUATION.

Rule With Kindness" Is a Failure.

London, Jan 1.-THE Times, edi-
torializing on It's Dublin correspond
ent's survey of the situation in Ire
land, declares that although the Union
ist government with a big majority
has been in power for six years the
situation there Is now worse than
when Mr.. Morley resigned the chief
secretaryship in 1895. In short, says
The Times. the policy of killing home

credited and Mr.. Wyndham has failed

.s The boys and girls have been having
a merry vacation in every sense of the
word. 1t is seldom that during their
holiday vacation the elements have
conspired. to~~give them as fine coasting
as they..have enjoyed this season. The
hills have been coated with snow and
ice, and the weather warm enough to
make the sport most enjoyable and it
has been INDUCED in by the children
to an unusual degree. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that move was not made to
fix up a skating rink in their behalf
for the vacation period at least. We
notice this was done at Red Wing,
and the. enterprise was much appreci-
ated by the young folks. Mankato
ought to be provided with pleasure
resort every winter. 1t would cost
comparatively little money, and the re-
turns in. pleasure and health to the
young people would be large. Who
will start the move?

Washington, Jan. 2.-President
Roosevelt's first public reception was
attended more largely than any New
Years reception in number of years.
In all $500 persons filed through the
White House and shook hands with
the president. Mrs. Roosevelt, on be-
ing appraised that the crowd in line
outside the White House was unusual
ly large, gave orders that the gates
should not be closed until the last
person desiring to do so had an oppor-
tunity to pay his respects. The recep-
ton began promptly at II o'clock and
It was 2:30 o'clock before the last per-
son in line had been presented to the
president and quarter of an hour
later before the reception came to an
end. The weather was delightful,
being clear and crisp, so that no hard.

waited for hours before being admit.

ton was In every way successful, the
attendance not only being large, but
the decorations really beautiful, the
arrangements perfect and the presi-
dent in excellent spirits. To each per-
son he extended a cordial Happy New
Year, and Mrs. Roosevelt was equally
pleasing to each of those who filed
past the line in the blue parlor, where
the receiving party stood. Miss Alice
Roosevelt was conspicuous among
those assisting at the reception. A
party of her young girl friends by in
vitation also participated in the func-
ton.

Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1902-11-08

THE election being over it be-
hooves the citizens of the State
to get together and advance the
resources of the State. The first
thing to do is to establish Cham
Der of Commerce Such an institu-
ton could do a great deal towards
setting forth our resources to the
outside world by a systematic and
judicious system of advertising.
The water question, of course, is
the principal question to be set
tied, and the efforts of every COM
munity should be directed on this
line. Whether we will ever see
the day that Mason Valley will be
benefited by national assistance
for irrigation or not, remains to be
seen; but no community should
wait for such an event. Rather
should they begin at once to work
out their own salvation.

A remarkable case comes to light
at Elizabeth, West Virginia. An old
man there by the name of G. w.
Roberts had long suffered with in
durable cancer. Everybody believed
his case hopeless until he used Elec-
trio Bitters and tried Bucklen's
Arnica salve. The treatment cured
him completely. Now everybody
who knows of it is investigating
Electric Bitters. 1t exerts a mighty
power to expel billiousness, kidney
and liver troubles and it's wonder
full tonic for run down systems.

NEVADA.
AFTER TINE BATTLE.

The election is over and it looks
very much as though the people
of the State had decided to take
their chances tor the next two
wears under Democratic rule. 1t
is our belief that this is a great
mistake, but being firm believer
that the majority should rule we
shall abide by the decision of the
majority and lay no stumbling
block in the way of those elected
so long as they demonstrate that
they intend to handle the reins of
government for the best interests
of the people who elected them.
The campaign being over it shall
be our duty to continue to advance
the interests of Lyon county with
the view of inducing outsiders to
investigate our resources and de-
velop them. With animosity to-
wards none and the hope that the
result of the election will not re-
tard people from investigating our
resources and becoming interested
in the State and county's advance
ment, the TIMES proposes to cut
politics out and work singly for
the good of the county. All other
loyal residents should do the same,
as there is enough to occupy our
time in this way rather than to
continue the useless discussion of
politics after the campaign is over.

ELECTION RETURNS.

The table of election returns
published on this page, while un-
official, is probably near enough
correct to tell who is elected. The
figures show that all the old coun-
ty officers are elected. The vote
on Recorder is close, F. w. Dow
ney winning by only five votes.
The vote on short term Commits
sioner is also close, Gates, Demo-
cratic, beating Flaws by only
eleven votes. There will proba-
bly, be a recount on these two Off
ces. On the State ticket Murphy,
Republican, beats WOODBURY. for
District Judge; Douglass, Repub-
lican beats Howell for Secretary
of State; Mcmillan, Republican,
beats Davis for State Controller,
and Plat, Republican, beats Swee-
ney for Attorney General. The
county shows substantial ubli-
can gains, and two years hence
will undoubtedly be in the Repub-
lican ranks for every State and
county candidate.

ALTHOUGH an off year, the East
has held up good Republican ma
jorities. In some States the Re-
publican vote has fallen off some,
but in others it has increased, and
Congress is safely Republican.
Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming
and California are in the Republi-
can ranks again, and the result in
Colorado is close, but probably
Teller will go back to the Senate.
Nebraska, the home of Bryan,
goes strongly Republican and only
elects one Democratic Congress
man.

No Reason tor Democratic Success.

When congress adjourned the sem
ate stood: Republicans, So; demo-
Gratis and other opposition, 30. In
the house the division stood: Re-
publicans, 1879; democrats and other
opposition, 152: vacancies, 6. In re-
viewing the situation and the reap
portionmentS made necessary lncreaS-
ing the house membership from 357 to
1856. the Chicago Inter Ocean says:
Experience has shown that in ''off
years" the opposition has slightly bet
ter chance to gain control of the
house. The democrats will doubtless
gain districts here and there. So will
the republicans. The question is
which will make the larger gains, and
whether the democratic gains will be
enough to give them a majority in
the house.
"There is really no reason why the
democrats should control the next
house. That party has been able to
find no issue and no leader that seems
likely to change the opinions of any
great number of voters or to remove
public distrust of the democracy.

Big Increase in Deaths.

Typhoid fever existed in all except
six counties of Indiana in August, ac-
cording to reports made by health Of
ficerS to the state board of health.
Deaths occurred in sixty-two counties.
In July there were eight-three deaths
from typhoid, while in August there
were 167 deathS-an increase OF 101
per cent. The reports show marked
decrease in the number of cases Of
smallpox since July.
The total deaths in August number
ed 3,15S-a death rate of 14.S, while
in the corresponding month last year
there were 1882 deaths-a rate of 49,
per cent.
August gives the highest death
rate for diarrhoeal diseases yet report
ed, there being $50 deaths from this
cause, about one-sixth of all the deaths
in the state.
The state board of health thinks
the increase in typhoid fever and
diarrhoeal diseases is probably due to
the heavy rainfall, which washed pol
luton into open wells and springs.

A Crop of Splendid Wheat.

Jesse Miller, of North township, the
well known musician and band leader,

slve farmers in Marshall county. He
always has a good crop of wheat and
it is always of the finest quality.

Mr.. Miller in three days and the
grains are as fine and glossy as when
the sheaves dropped from the harvest
er.
Mr. Miller let this wheat get thor
oughlv ripe before harvesting and he
did not shock it or stack it but he
hauled the SheaYeS to his barn as they
came from the harvester and there
they remained until threShed with

Proposed Labor Party.

The labor unions Of the country
generally do not take kindly to the
movement started in Chicago to
organize separate political party
among the working men of the coun-
try. 1t is right that the unions
should not separate themselves from
the old political organizations, at
least not start an exclusive one of
their own as nothing will be gained
for their cause thereby. Organized
labor is in better position now to
get recognition from the old parties
and get what legislation it desires for
the benefit of labor than by going off
into any political tangent of its own.
The republican party, if the record
of the past 90 years is carefully look
ed up, will be found to have done more
for the cause of labor than any other
political organization IN the land.
Republican principles are all on the
side of labor 'and republican leaders
are better friends to labor than can Oe
found in the ranks of democracy, pop
uliSm, socialism. or any other political
crowd. Senator Hanna, of Ohio,
much as he has been abused, is true
friend to labor as his words and his
deeds show, and it is quite certain that
labor has a no friend more staunch
or true than Senator Fairbanks,
of this state and President Roose-
welt has declared himself unequivocal-
" in favor of organized labor, and of
protecting labor in all its rights.
1t is quite clear that the laboring
men of this country can get more
fayorS and have obtained more favors
through the medium of the reliable
old republican party than through any
other source.-South Bend Tribune.
