The largest gold nugget ever found

Martin nugget. 1t was unearthed by
a dissipated young man, little better

in which to bury his comrade, who
had been drowned while lying drunk
in the bottom of a narrow canyon.

food which brought death to his
companion, but he escaped Later,
securing a pick and shovel, he select

to their cost. Every winter injury and
ever death are reported as the result of
this carelessness. But there is a far
more popular way of counting danger.

Peril to Republican Government.

TIOLl Nv OotOh
: The disappointment entertained by
President Roosevelt and widely shar-
ed by the citizen of the country, at
the failure of congress to enact leg
islation in which the honor of the
United States is involved, will inevi-
tably arouse fresh discussion as to
whether our system of representative
government is breaking down. In
the house of representatives the at
tempt has been made to expediate
business by shutting off debate and
putting the ontro of all measures
in the hand of the majority Of he
committee on rules. Thus a small
oligarchy absolutely dictates the leg
isla.ion of the body. In the senate,
in which the previous question is
not permitted, a small group OF the
majority party dictates absolutely
what measures shall be permitted to
come before the senate, and its sue
cess in enacting its measures is only
tempered by the obstructive tactics
of the opposition. The attempt. how
ever, to throw the sole responsibility
for the defeat of important meas
Tres upon the opposition logically in
wolves giving it the credit for those
it permits ( pass. The net result OF
the present procedure, both in the
senate and in the house. is to defeat
the purposes of representive institu-
tions. and incidentally to create a
strong drift toward that system Of
control Of legislation by groups which
has been so fatal to parliamentary
government on the continent.
