FIGHT ON A RACE TRACK.-A dis.
patch from Charleston, s. O., says
the "outlaw" meeting at Charleston ap.
pears to be winding up 10 chaos. AS
# owners and bookmakers had not
suffered enough already by the loss
of money, there seems to be a tendency
to indulge in trough house" tactics at
every opportunity. Ga Saturday there
was free fight at the post when the
horses went there for the third race.
Ned Williams, the assist .nt starter,
accidentally struck Jockey Davis with
his whip. and as the later cried out IN
pain bis employer, J. Agnew. jumped
on the track and struck Willisms a
heavy blow In the mouth. Instantly
sll OF the starters assistants ran ct
Agnew and one Of them, pulling a gun,
was 10 the act OF pointing it at his head
when Starter Bruen grabbed the weap
on and prevented bloodshed. The
stewards took the matter 10 hand and
ordered Agnew and his horses from
the track. Other owners then declared
that II this order was not rescinded
they would not ttirt their horses 10
any more races.

cussed the question Of the suppression OF the
Irish land league. The Marquis Of London
derry, Postmaster General, VINO ia big land

Wypdham, Chief Secretary OF Ireland, Is I'M
derstood to favor letting things alone for
awhile. All the members Of the cabinet sd-

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

The constitutional convention held 0
perfunctory session yesterday and
leaves Of absence were granted the re-
publican members. who recognized
that with the suffrage conference In
daily session their occupation would be
gone. Senstor Daniel was In his seat
for the first time since he left Rich
mond, broken down 10 strength, three
mouths ago. He is apparently fully
restored to health, and will take part
10 the suffrage discussion. He Is
chairman OF the committee having the
matter 10 charge.
Mr. Wysor's motion TO limit debate
on the suffrage to 10 minutes was de-
featej, and that gentlemen decided
he would 90 home Saturday, whether
the matter was settled or not. The
only action taken yesterday was to
confirm exemptions from paying the
poll-tax to Confederate soldiers 10 the
civil war.
Mr.. Braxton introduced resolution
providing for the holding of the office
Of notary public by women. II was
referred to the committee on suffrage.
Mr.. Glass and Mr.. Thorn made ex-
plantations OF their suffrage plans. At
the afternoon session OF the conference
the discussion W 10 renewed.
1t looks as If the Glass substitute for
the Daniel, or majority plan, will be
adopted, with some amendments as to
details. Three signers OF the Thorn
plan said Last night they had become
convinced that the temporary under
standing feature was better than the
permanent one, and they hoped for its
adoption. The Thorn plan was
especially designed to meet conditions
in the black belt, but most OF the
members from that section are opposed
to 1t now.

Mr.. JOHN G. HAYTHE, a we'll known
attorney of Lynchburg, has written
Governor Montague letter in which
he suggests that the Confederate pen
sion bill appropriating $500. 900 recent
ly adopted by the legislature is uncon-
stitutioDal, as being in contravention
OF article X, sections Is and 20 OF the
State constitution, the fret of which,
he says, requires that every law impos-
ing the tax shall state distinctly the
object to which the tax shall be APP
piled. He holds that section 20 Is
restriction on the power of the legisla-
ture 10 impose any tax except for the
necessary expenses of the government
or to pay the existing State debt. AS
Confederate pensions are neither a part
OF the governments necessary expenses
nor part OF the State debt In the pop
uIar conception of the word, debt"
Mr.. Haythe thinks it would seem to be
clear that any State law imposing taxes
for the purpose OF paying pensions is
unconstitutional. Mr.. Hsythe contends
that the tax by which the funds now In
the treasury were raised was not i'm
posed for the specific purpose OF paying
Confederate pensions and that the
treasurer will have no right to appro-
pirate money for that purpose. The
whole question is a new one and ore
which it seems has never been coDsld-
cred before, and If the poiut raised by
Mr.. Haythe is sustained the legislature
would be prevented from making many
appropriations it has been in the habit
of making. Governor Montague promis.
es to give the matter his earnest atten-
tion.

Nvvr MONDAY. March II, bias been

NEXT MONDAY, March II. has been
fixed IS the day when a vote Will
Ia taken in the Senate on the snip
subsidy bill. According to reports
canvass OF Senators shows that the bill
will psss. If it shall succeed 10 the
House a new count 10 the indictment
of the party in power will have been
furnished the opposition. Senators
Clay, of Georgia, and Vest, OF Missouri,
have made mastery arguments against
the bill. Senator Clay has shown that
the shipyards are busy; that the cost OF
construction Is no greater 10 The United
States than in Europe; that ship own
ers are on a level in the matter OF
wages for sesmen, as they hire them
IN the open market OF whatever ports
thew touch, and that the most efficient
OF our maritime competitors-Great
Britain and Germany-give no general
subsidy to merchantmen. Senator
Vest showed that 70 per cent. OF the
subsidy which would be received by
ships on the Atlantic would go to the
International Navigation Company
The pending bill. he said. would take
money out of the Treasury OF the
United States without giving anything
of value In return for 1t. The vessels
would get the subsidies whether they
carried q single postal card or not.
The peoples money ought not to be
paid out to individuals or corporations
upon any such hypothesis as that sug'
eested in the present bill. BY this
array of fscts these Senators have
broken the back OF the subsidy
monster. branding it ss mere scheme
of speculative spoliation. Subsidy ia
"protection" in the brutal form OF
pocket picking. There can be no pre-
tsnse of taxation for revenue" or

zoIa % Work.

An address delivered in 1893 BY
Emile Zola, an extract from which
was published in q recent Post Dis :
patch, contains bis own philosophy
and practice Of life.
"Work" he said, sis the creed
sanctioned by science. Work regu.
lates the daily task, the duty that
one owes himself to advance . step
each day. Work saves US from
mere dreaming; it is health. -
A man who works is always good"
A better statement Of the practi-
tical rule Of common sense could
not be made.
In work, not money, is salvation.
Men who work for money that
will save them from the need Of
WORK miss the meaning Of life.
Money that ministers to idleness 10
the devils currency, and brings
curses instead Of blessings.
What is a man good for? That
is the real question. He is not
good for anything unless he per-
forms the service to society for
which he came in'o tie world.
And in doing his work be perfects
himself and justifie, his presence
onearth.
Zola himself was one of the hard
est workers ever known. And,
with all his mistakes, he left the
world better and richer than be
found it. In this respect, at least,
his career is worth imatating.

A para ite makes poor partner. y
So says the South West, Q liquor
organ. The liquor traffic is para
site with which the government BY
revenue and license laws, has gone
into partnership. For every dollar
paid by il into the public treasury,
conservative estimate is that ten
dollars Of cost is entailed on the
people. A very poor partner, in.
deed, and the sooner such partner
ship is dissolved the better for oil.
Triumph Of the Prohibition party
means the discontinuaaco Of that
losing business.
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1902-10-30

The following from the Silver
State is equally applicable to Was
hoe MS to Humboldt county:
If William Nj. Stewart we're q
candidate before the people for any
office within their gift he would
not receive the vote of a single
Democrat or Silver Party man in
Humboldt county. Nor would he
be supported by any but the most
hidebound Republicans. Why
then, should any Democrat or Sill
ver party man vote for a candidate
for State Senator, who, if elected,
is certain to vote for Stewart for
United States Senator in 1905?
The proposition is very plain and
voters should keep it in mind: A
vote for the Republican candidate
for State Senator in this county is
a vote for William M. Stewart, the
traitor for United States Senator
two years hence.
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1902-10-30

Although some of the State off,
GERS do not possess the political
significance of others, ven the
most independent voter of any
political organization recognizes
the wisdom and policy of giving
the preference to the candidates
of his own party, everything else
being even. In this regard we do
not fear comparison between any
candidate on the Fusion State
ticket as the Republican nominee
for the same position. There is
no good reason why any Democrat
or Silver party man should ignore
any candidate on the Fusion State
ticket. AS Mr.. Bryan declared in
his speech Friday evening. The
silver producing State of Nevada
cannot afford to elect a Republican
to any State Office.
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1902-10-30

The Carson News says "Bryan
has come and zone and left only
a memory" Well, a memory is a
pretty good thing to leave, if it is
n pleasant one. We know of some
Republicans who have made pub
lie speeches in Nevada, who were
forgotten in less than twenty min
uets after they left the platform
Mr.. Bryan will leave in the memory
of the people of Nevrda until graf
itudc is extinct in the human
breast, and admiration for a fear
less champion of the toiling mass
es is no longer a sentiment in the
hearts of the common people OF
the battle-born State.
The Central Nevadan. [volume] (Battle Mountain, Nev.) 1885-1907, 1902-10-30

Suppose for the sake Of argu-
ment that "Silver is dead" No
one will deny that its death was
the greatest calamity that was ever
experienced by the State of Nevada
or that its slayers were not the
worst enemies that we're arrayed
against our Commonwealth. Sup
pose, our Republican friend. a man
killed your brother in cold blood.
You cannot bring that brother to
life again. but is that any reason
why you should take his murderer
to your breast, condone the bloody
deed, make him an honored guest
at your home and install him as
one of your family circle?

TERMS.
Advice of Our
Chieftian.

Mr.. Bryan has twice received
the largest majority ever given by
the voters of Nevada TO any candi-
date for President of the United
States. He is as popular now as
in 1896 or 1900 and possesses the
confidence of the people as fully
as in either of those years. AL
though not a candidate he is as earn
estly devoted to the cause now as
then, and there is not a voter in the
State of any party, whe in his heart
questions the sincerity of his utter
ances. There is not a Democrat
or Silver Party man in Nevada
who would not act as readily upon
his political advice as upon that
of any man now living within the
boundaries ofthe American Repub-
lie. Mr.. Bryan in his speeches at
Virginia City, Carson and Reno
last Friday, most earnestly and i'm
~pressively urged the voters of Ne
vada to support F. G.. Newlands
for United States Senator and
Clarence d. Van Duzer for Rep
resentatiye in Congress at the en-
suing election. He admonished
his hearers that the gravity of the
situation demanded tie election of
men of their political views at the
present crisis. 1t was not with
MI. Bryan a question of candidates
but OF the principles they represent.
We are confident that the Demo-
Gratis and Silver party men OF Ne
vada will to a man heed the advice
of the great advocate of the rights
OF the common people and the rec
cognized Chief of the anti RspuD-
lican forces in these United States
of America. We are confident
that they will i'll every county in
the State cast their ballots as a
unit for tie Fusion Legislature
ticket and stamp an X in the mar
gin opposite the name of G. d.
Van Duzer.
