Ten thousand dollars is the p,ice

thinks the city of New York should
pay him for three OF his front teeth.
On the night OF Sept. II Foy stepped
of new cement sidewalk in the
vicinity of Kedzie avenue and West
Taylor street. and. losing his balance.
fell against an upright piece OF scant-
ling. Three OF his front teeth were
driven far into the scantling by The

lease them. He took the scantliDg
along and sought dentist, but the
teeth came out when the dentist tried
to pull the rcantling on The scant-

We would not be surprised if at
the meeting of the Republican. Com
mittee ON June 2Sth the announcement
is made that John P. Jones will lead the
Republican party of Nevada in the
coming campaign. 1t is said that the
Republican National Committee has
been made to believe that the good old
party has splendid chance to win q
victory in Nevada and that Senator
Jones will receive strong financial aid
from them to make a fight for re-elec-
ton. All indications at this time point
to the fact that Jones has changed his
mind and is about to announce that; he
will contest with Mr.. Newlands for the
Senatorship. He denies that he ever
said he would not. be candidate for
reelection, and this denial on his part
is enough evidence to convince The
Ledger that it is his intention to enter
the contest and if possible endeavor to
once more succeed himself in the Sem
ate. We think he will be in the fight,
and we have a suspicion that he has
simply been doing a little political
jockeying for the past eight MONTHS

The claim is made. that thereis an
attorney somewhere in the west, who,
with three other men, is engaged in
holding up railroads in nearly every
big accident that occurs. The scheme
is to have two of the'men pretend to
have been seriously injured. The men
are not present at the time of the acct
dent, of course, but they turn,up in
time to swear that they were in the
wreck, and by means of their peculiar
ability to dislocate hip or some other
part of their anatomies at will, they
lay claim to damages. The attorney
follows them to the scene, and third
man swears that he saw the two injured
men on. the train prior to the wreck,
and a claim for heavy damages results.

CLASSICAL AND ALLEaoRtoAL.

Our Republican contemporaries, par
ticularly the Morning Rooter, failed to
record that great illustrative and fig
urative speech of that master mind,
Senatorial Candidate McCandless,
which was given out solely by The
Independent. For sure, it was clas-
sical and an allegorical speech, and 1t
was well that they tried to stifie and
suppress it. We believe that it will
carry some weight at this coming
election, and may result in becoming
the turning point where votes will
tell. Aside from Pinkham's bugaboo,
this will furnish another ammunition
for the hard working guns of the
Home Rule party. Oh how very
strange that they should keep it on
the q. t., but we've now out with it
after holding IL for over week. How
now, Republicans, was not that
speech given week ago last Monday
night? Why was it subdued? It's up

PRINCE oup1D's oupiDITY.

We understand that Prince Cupid
does not relish our opposition to him.
Why should he? But we think that he
ought to. 1t is natural that we should
oppose him, for he has broken faith
with his many admirers and numerous
friends. He .bolted from the Home
Rule party because of certain unmanly
treatment accorded him by his seniors
which CALLED upon his manly nature,
and no doubt we ourselves would have
done the same thing. But what we
now see is the truth of the accusation
made by Senator Kalauokalani in let
ter to certain Laie Home Rule. support
ers, wherein he told them not to place
any confidence in the Prince or in his
followers, for they we're Snakes" who
would eventually betray them and
their cause and that these snakes"
were Democrats. AS to the Prince be-
ing Democrat, the Senator made
mistake, for he and others of his fol-
lowing have now become avowed Re-
publicans or have leaning that way.
Truth is always found out at the end,
as in the cases here mentioned DC.
