EDITOR CoCRIER: The proper ques-
ton to submit to the voters of Nevada
would seem to me to be: "What has
any Republican Representative, either
as Congressman or as Senator, ever az
complished for Nevada?'' The answer
is nothing; and in the nature of things
it should be nothing. How can Re
publican representative of the rights
of the people of Nevada accomplish
anything foI. n evada, and remain under
the whip of the Republican party9 1t
is impossible. Nevada, and her inter-
este, are in the great minority. The
Republican party is controlled by the
interests of the great majority. A Re-
publican representative from Nevada
must break away from his party to ac-
complish anything for Nevada and her
interests. He must allay himself with
Democrats, and vote with them. The
moment he does that, he is denounced
as a renegade. Senators Stewart and
Jones did that in voting against the
Force Bill, a measure that authorized
the placing of United States soldiers at
the polls in the South on election day.
The Republican party considered it of
vital Importance to the success of the
party to control elections in the South,
and the Republican press denounced
both Senators as traitors. On the
Dingley tariff bill, Senator Garter of
Montana and Senator Teller of Colo
RADIO, voted against it because the Re-
publican party would do nothing for
silver. They have been at outs with
the party ever since. There is no in
terest in common between the interests
represented by the great Republican
party, and Neyada's interests. How
can we expect the great Republican
party to represent any of Nevada's in
terests? The interests of Nevada and
the interests represented by the great
Republican party are not only not
in common, but they are absolute
ly- antogonistic. We are protected
in nothing, except borax. The great
Republican party is the representative
of all the protected interests of the
United States. 1t is the key to the
combination leading to the store house
and treasures of the United States, and
tits in the hands of the allied powers
and trusts, and belongs to them. II
levies taxes, and imposes burdens at
will, exempting its favorites and pun
ishing the common people. 1t appears
to me, and therefore charge it, that no
sane man, living in Nevada, without
hope of reward or fear of punishment,
can be a consistent Nevadan and Re
publican besides.

The Central Pacific Railroad is
bonded for Sss,000 per mile. 1t is
assessed in Nevada at 900 per mile,
except in Lyon where Sheriff Randall,
in spite of the injunction, assessed it at
$4,000 per mile, and collected. He
was ready to swear he believed the
road was worth much more, but placed
it that low because his county could
not stand the litigation that would in
cidentally arise on making it higher.
The bonds. are worth big premium,
and therefore the road is worth in open
market more than $Ss,000 nile. The
proof of the foregoing facts is positive
and unequivocal The road is assessed
for less than one-sixth of its value.
Everybody knows that fact to be true.
It cannot be gainsaid in any court of
justice. All other property is assessed
on an average of rs per cent. of its cash
value, except modest homes, which are
assessed at more than value. But their
owners do not combine, and have no
influence. The assessments are first
levied by the Assessors, and then
equalized by the Boards of County
Commissioners. The people elect the
Assessors and County Commissioners.
They know that their Assessors and
County Commissioners cheat and rob
them every year out of large revenues
in the matter of the assessment of the
railroads. Yet they keep on electing
the same frauds and cheats. Damn
the people.

Electrical Possibilities.

In discussing the noiseless possibih
lies of the future, the editor Of the
Electrical Review gives this hopeful
outlook for the future:
In the ideal city distracting noise:
will be unknown, IND dirt and all I'M
clean things will be kept without its
pale. Electricity is the magician that
can, and assuredly will, work the
change.
This Admirable day may not be 80
far away. Electric power stations and
electric light stations are being located
farther and farther away from the
city's heart; the horse car, the steam
locomotive, the engine in the base
ment. the coal stove,' are one and all
being replaced by the quiet. odorless
and effective electric motor, by the
electric locomotive, and surely but
slowly by the electric heater.
The rubber-tired electromobile Is
rapidly replacing the driven horse. and
will replace him not only for driving
but for heavy hauling purposes.

Woman's Bolero Waist.

The bolero waist is marked favor
lite of fashion, and is shown IN many
Of the advance styles. The smart May
Manton model shown in the large
drawing is admirable in many ways,
and is adapted to variety Of mate
rials. The bolero, having no collar,
makes it peculiarly desirable for wear
beneath q wrap, while at the same
time it gives sufficient Of the jacket
suggestion to be suited to street cos
tunes designed for spring. AS shown
it makes part of a costume of satin
faced cloth in sage green, with the full
waist Of Liberty satin in a lighter
shade of the same color, the trimming
being folds Of the satin, cross-stitched
On with black corticelli silk, and at the
ends by jeweled buttons.
The fitted lining closes at the centre
front. On it are arranged the waist
and the bolero, so that both are made
in one. The full front and back Of the
waist are tucked to yoke depth then
left free to take soft folds, the closing
being effected at the left front where
an opening is cut from the shoulder to
waist line. The jacket is fitted by
means of shoulder and under-arm
seams only, and is cut away at the
neck to reveal the chemisette. The
sleeves are novel, while in bishop
at the upper edge which render them
shape they include deep cuffs. pointed
exceptionally becoming. At the neck
Is a regulation stock that closes invisi-
bly at the centre back.
To cut this waist for woman of
medium size two and one-eighth yards

one and three-quarter yards twenty
seven inches wide, or one and three
eighth yards forty-four inches wide
will be required for the waist; two

New York City.-The novelty Of the
season is undoubtedly the shirt waist
with pleats that run to or over the
shoulders. The smart May Manton
example illustrated combines that
feature with the new deep pointed
cuffs and stock and is suited to all the

like, but in the original is of silk cham
bray in pale blue, stitched with white,

The fitted lining extends to the waist
line only, but forms the foundation on
which the waist is arranged. The
fronts and back of the waist proper are
laid in two pleats at each side, which
meet at the shoulder seams. The
fronts include the regulation box pleat
and are gathered at the belt or left

Lace rs Hat Trimming.

The almost universal adoption OF
lace for at least part of the hat
trimming has led milliners to button

gold thread, and apply medallions Of
decorated muslin or flower petals to
Chantilly and other laces CT thinner
texture, in order to obtain new effects.

Up-to-Date Trimmings.

Nothing in the seasons modes OF
decoration impresses one more than
the variety in embroidery. The newest
caprice, according to The Delineator,
is wool embroidery mixed with silk.
The blending Of colors which can be
produced with wool, chenille and silk
is delightful, and one Of the special
arts in applying it is the use Of thin
material like chiffon for the founda-
ton. Tulle gowns are adorned with

DIRECTORS ACT UNDER SPELL
LeipsiEer Bank Executives Lay Fall
ure TO Fascinating Personality
of AdOIph Schmidt.

BERLIN, July 1.-THE ruin OF the Leip-
ziger bank that failed about a year ago
for nearly 200, O0o, 900 marks. was wrought
by the fascinating personality OF Adolf
Schmidt, according TO testimony given by
the three weeks trial Of the banks d.
~rectors, now nearing the fredericksburg
(grain drying) company Of Cassel, a con-
Germ exploiting on an enormous scale.
A process for drying beer dregs and
cattle feed, persuaded the bank to advance
during a number Of years sums Of money
aggregating 0 900. 900 marks.
The accused directors who were success
slvely examined before the Jury, were I'M
able TO give a lucid explanation Of their
reasons for consenting to make these ex-
traordinary loans. Every member Of the
apparently welI-meanng board admitted
that this colossal business mistake was in
defensible upon sound commercial nrin-
ciples. Nevertheless they consented because
Schmidt made them believe In the ama1-
ing possibilities and profits Of the pro-
cess.
Schmidt also had an invention for dis
filling wood alcohol by which he repre-
scented that he would have the monopoly
Of the world. His eyes were upon the
American field as we'll as the European
huu ut optutu negotiations WIN hhlbE
cans, and established sub-companies in
every continental country.
The alcohol invention contributed to the
dazzling Of the Leipzig directors, who,
however, made 1t clear that they did not
know how much the bank had really loaned
to Schmidt. Although they we're backing
Schmidt's schemes, they were received
by the banks manager, Exner, who kept
secret accounts. Why Bxner acted in
the manner in which he did is equally q
mystery, for neither he nor the other d.
rectors appear to have made any money
personally out of the scheme.
Schmidt is described as having a quiet
manner and simple way of expressing him
self in unornate language. He talks with
a calm air OF conviction and seems to have
believed completely in himself. He is nov
In Jail awaiting examination.
Exner's testimony showed that he wal
led on step by step hoping to save the
banks millions, as the cutting on Of
schmidt's credit would wreck the Tire
bertroeknung company and result In q
total loss to the bank OF sums loaned.
