the trusts.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
We rejoice in the improved business
conditions which now prevail, and agree
with many of our leading political oppo-
nents in the view that the change for the
better is the result of increased gold pro-
duction which has afforded larger mon
ey supply for the transaction of business.
This is straight in line with the basic ar
gument in favor of the free coinage of
silver, proving conclusively that we were
right in our contention, and the advo-
Gates of the gold standard wrong We
believe that the free coinage of silver
would have produced a still higher degree
of prosperity than now exists, besides be-
ing of special advantage to the silver
mining interests of this State. We reject
utterly the specious plea of our Republic
can opponents that the silver issue is
dead. Free coinage is just in principle,
sound in economics, and there is no rea-
son why we should not continue our
efforts at all reasonable times to secure it.
But apart from the question of Free Coin
age, upon every other phase of the money
issue we know that the Republican party
is adverse to our interests, and the Dem
ocratic Party favorable thereto. In proof
of this we point to the Hill bill which re-
Gently passed the House of Representa-
tives by an almost unanimous vote of the
Republican majority, the Democrats and
Independents of that body being unit
in opposition. This infamous measure,
directly at variance with past Republican
pledges, will, il it becomes law, end all
purchases of silver for coinage in this
country for many decades, and perhaps
forever. 1t might easily close all but the
richest of our silver mines, put an end to
prospecting tor that metal and materially
check the tide of prosperity which is ris-
ing in our State, despite the almost para
lying blows struck by the Republican
party at our silver industry when it was
nearly all we had to depend upon.
THE FOWLER BILL.
We denounce the Fowler Currency Bill,
reported to the House by unanimous
vote of the Republican members of the
Committee on Banking and Currency, as
scheme to give few great banking in
situations complete control of our paper
currency, thereby enabling the banks to
fix the aggregate volume of our money
supply. This would put it in their power
to regulate prices to suit themselves, and
place all business at their mercy. We
believe that the Republican party will
enact this or some similar measure into
law just as soon as it dares to do SO, un-
less the power of that party is so re-
strained that it is unable to carry out the

The Representatives of the Democratic
Party of the State of Nevada in conven-

the National Democratic Party as ex-

IRRIGATION.

We rejoice in the important step that
has been taken by the National Govern
ment looking to the reclamation of the
lands of the arid and semi-arid region.
We heartily congratulate our Represen-
tative in Congress, the Hon. Francis G.
Newlands, upon the able and effective
part taken by him in educating the public
mind upon this important subject, and
in securing the passage of the irrigation
law recently placed upon our National
Statute books. We regret that there are
Nevada Republicans who think so mean
ly of their own party President as to in
innate belief that unless this State goes
Republican,, he will refuse to allow any
expenditure of money within its borders
citizens. we resent so vile a Islander upon
the President of the United States.
THE UNITED STATES sENAToRsHIP.
We cordially endorse the action of Rep
resentative Newlands with reference to
the irrigation law, believing that it was
the best which could be obtained in the
face of the strong Republican opposition
manifested, and we give to Mr. Newlands'
general course in Congress our unquali,
fed approval. In all things pertaining
to the interests, of our State he has been
ever on the alert, always endeavoring
faithfully to carry out the will of those
who elected him, true to their convictions
upon the great money questions so vital
to Nevada, laboring earnestly and intelli-

gently on every possible line for the up
building of the State. We feel thathe
has fairly earned promotion to the SEN
ate and with no reservation whatever, we
endorse him for the position of United
States Senator, believing that in the Up

the highest credit upon both himself and
the State of Nevada.

WILL DECORATE HIGH SCHOOL
Art Department of m Club
Cults Library Plans
Were Called For.

The art department Of the Woman's club
has decided to abandon it's plans for the
decoration of the children's room OF the
public library and instead for the present
to devote it's efforts toward identifying the
walls Of the new High school building.
This decision was reached at yesterdays
meeting Of the department, and was
based upon a letter from the library board
thanking the women for their decoration Of
the room In the past, but requesting that
their plans for future decorations be sub
mitted for the endorsement of the board.
A year age the library Eoard gave the
department permission to decorate the
children's room. and the women at that
time placed a number of fine pictures there.
On February 22 they added Stuart's full
length portrait Of Washington, and a few
weeks ago had ordered a cast OF 'Diana
and the Stag" Of heroic size, to cost 500.
to be placed In the center OF the room.
Rather than submit their judgment to re-
vision Of the library board It was decided
yesterday to abandon the proposed pre-
sentation Of the cast and turn attention to
the new High school building.

GEORGE MCPHERSON INSANE
Well Known COlored Musician Ac-
cuses Policeman of Having
Taken His Soul.

Prof. George Mcpherson, the we'll known
colored musician, became suddenly insane
at an early hour yesterday morning and was
locked up at the police station. McPher-
son came to the station unattended and in
a state Of great excitement demanded to
know the whereabouts of Oficer Cullen.
HE has my SOUL" exclaimed the musician,
''and / want It. He has 1t in his body
and I am ruined without 1t. Why should
he have two souls and I have none?" Nc
Pherson was promptly locked up and at
intervals during the early hours Of the
morning in a voice full Of agony he de-
manded the return Of his soul.
Mcpherson came to Omaha ten years ago
from Ohio and Immediately became
prominent as a musician. He organized q
large class and has been prosperous. He
spent many years in Boston, where he Sc
cured his musical education, and II is said
by his friends that in that place he was a
great favorite. Several years ago he went
insane and spent some time In an asylum
In Illinois. He has no family and for
some time has roomed near Fourteenth and
Burt streets. at the lodging house run by
Mrs. Fairfax. Friends of the man have
been notified and until they make some
arrangements for keeping him he will be
held at the police station.

BOOK COMPANY MAN is HERE
Interviews Principals and
I'm Regard to United
States History.

s. B. Todd, general agent Of the American
Book company, with headquarters in Mime
Rpolis, is in the city investigating the re-
port Of the objection raised to the history
in use In the public schools of the city.
Mr.. Todd's regular territory includes the
states Of Minnesota and the Dakotas, but
he wal selected to look after the Omaha
situation on account of his familiarity with
the book in question. He arrived in the
city two days ago and since that TINA has
been interviewing teachers and principals
in the schools, later turning his attention
TO the members of the school board.
To the members he said that the teachers
and the principals had generally expressed
themselves as pleased with the book, but
that many OF them had said that under the
existing division Of time It was impossible
to bring out its best features. The Ques-
ton of retaining the history In the schools
will be one OF the important ones before
the committee On course OF study during
the coming vacation and an effort will UNI
doubtedly be made to have 1t retained.
Mr.. Todd will in future have charge OF
the business Of the company in Omaha, sue
ceeding Mr.. Wedgewood, who for some time
has had charge Of the Omaha business in
common with that OF the state of Nebraska.
