nEruBL1cASs AND TRUSTS.

While the Republicans are telling So
gGbly what they are gong to do to the
trusts il they only get a chances glance
mt the Congressional Record OF the 18th
OF last February will throw considerable
light on the subject. Their bad faith
during the Fifty.si1th Congress when
they pigeOn.holed their " anti. trust
bill rather than let it come to a vote is
too well known to need discussion.
But even within the present year the
Republicans, who are now applaudiug
the Presidents anti TRUST utterances in
his Pittsburg speech, voted directly
opposite to their present and pest pro
LESSONS. 1t happened i'll this way. The
permanent census bill was under con-
sideratiou. Senator Dubois. OF Idaho,
providing a remedy for the trusts in
direct accord with the recommendations
OF the President in his message 20 Con-
gress. IN offering the amendment Mr..
Dubois said: Il am not making an in
discriminate attack on the trusts. My
amendment simply carries put fully the
suggestion OF President Roosevelt which
is that the utmost publicity shall be
given to the trusts When the vote
was taken on the amedment the Re.
p%ublicans voted against it to q man. Is
that the sort OF record the Republicans
nre going before the country with and
pointing with pride" to-? Does any
man ever expect relief for his country
from the trusts at the hInds Of a part y
which today votes against their own
President and tomorrow applauds tho se
same recommendations, thinking thereby
to get some mean poii.! al advantage?
Fol twelve years tue Republicans have
been telling the country what they were
going to do with the trusts. But the
unsympathetic, cold hearted type Of the
Congressional Record is full O. words
which have not been backed up by
deeds. Trust not the men whose
tongues incline one way and their deeds
another,-Chico Record.

Determining Weight OF Orc

One way to tell the weight OF ore in a
mme gin sight" is to exactly measure IN
excavation from whence n known
weight OF ore has been removed. De-
tcrmining the weight Of ore in one
place is n work requiring extreme care
Thirteen cubic feet to the ton applies
Only to solid quartz rock: in case OF OK
idized ores it may require from fifteen
TO even eighteen cubic feet to the ton,
while in lead, zinc and other base metal
mines, it may require less than thirteen
cubic feet to the ton. AS n general rule
1t may be stated tina; No cubic contents
OF TN ere bodyin feet, !c by eleven il

Following is tho cop bulletin issued
by tho Nevada section OF the Weather
bureau for the week ending August 4,
1902.
Hot, dry and sunny weather prevailed
over the State during the past week.
These conditions were EXCEPTIONALLY
favorable for harvest work and the
growth of watered crops. 50 Far the
season has been very fine for haying,
fnsre being no rain or high winds to in :
terfere with the work, and a heavier
crop than usual has been cut and stack.
Ell in prime condition over the greater
part OF tho State. The harvesting Of
barley and wheat is under way in some
OF the western districts and the yield is
reported good In the eastern and
northern sections the grain crops are
heading out well and look very promis-
ing. In the south lad southeast Sec
ton n great deal OF the grain has been
stacked and threshed.
In n few western localities the second
crop Of alfalfa wiz be light on accoun
OF n scarcity OF water.
Garden truck is doing well, aud corn
md potatoes are coming along nicely.
Early apples and new potatoes are
ready for use and quite plentiful in the
local markets.
In tho south and southeast portions
thew weather has been excessively hot
and dry for some time, and n few good
showers would be OF great benefit to all
kinds of vegetation.
The supply Of irrigation water con-
tilues to hold out well and, il econ.
omically used, WILDE sufficient to ma
turo the second crop of alfalfa and of the
Iuto sown grain.

TkLLTALE FIGURES.

While the expert NE h mi al tra'les
and other bodies Of workers closely
united in unions have advanced their
wage scales materially above the panic
level ~ lS9k.u compilation nf the cen.
sus figures reveals TN extraordinary
Tact in regard to the manufacturing in
dustries Of the country, taken ~ n
whole. 1t WIS brought to light in a
speech III she llouse OF Representatives.
by Mr.. Miers Of Indiana.
The census figures Tor manufacturing
have becn completed for thirty. three
states and territories. They show that
the average wages Tor all laborcB in the
manufacturing industries were 8 per
cent lower i'll 1900 than in 1890. In
those thirty-threc states and territories
l,OOi.J90 wage carners received an
average OF SilS IS each Il year. or 81. 30
a day, i'll 1890. In the same statsa and
territories in 1900 l,i63,3G5 wage earn.
ers received an average Of $751; % each
year. or l.25 u day. In some OF the
greatest manufacturing states where
the trusts are most powerful the decline
i'll wages has been greater. New Jer-
sey's industries paid an average wage
of 1921 Il LAY in 1899 and only sl52 n
day i'll 1900, the decline beng 81 per
| cent.
On the other hand, the compilation
OF prices i'll Dun's reviSw tor last Jan
uary showed that the cost Of living
nov is nearly 7 per cent higher than in
1900 and more than IL per zen higher
than IN 1890. Tho compilation includes
food IT all kinds, clothing, metals, etc.
The average iac'ory worker, there
fore. is receiving 5 per cent less wages
than i'll 1890 and is spendinS from 1 to
ii per cent more FOR cost Of living. The
figures are a practical test of the opera
ton Of the trusts. In the last two
Presidential campaigns the ~apolosists
Tor the trusts claimed that they would
increase wages and lower the pri q u
their products.
In the next Presidential campign the
complete census figures for all the states
and terrific ries will provide arguments
which the party responsible 'or the
trusts will have difficulty i'll answering

Tho Big Water Cuse.

The big water suit between Miller &
Lux against the farmers OF Smith and
Mason valleys was called for the first
hearing yester day. As the farmers ex-
pccted trouble from the outset they
were on hand in numbers.
When the case was called a post.
ronment vas asked on the part OF Mil.
Ter & Lux which was granted. The case
went over until the first Of next month
when it is believed that another post.
ponment will have to occur. All OF this
means time and trouble for tho farmers

who have money out on margins will do
well to get under cover. II looks like a

Il weather during the fall will be
very bad. and it will be almost impossi.
BILE for the farmers to save their crops.
The coal strike is not yet settled, nor
is it likely to be before September.
There Is a strong determinad spirit at

attempt will be made to destroy labor
unions at this time. 1t is liable TO re-
suit i'll a spread OF strikes, and the
laboring clauses will be. Sorked up to

instrumental in bringing about this con.
