The Reason.

A man in New YOrk-call him Mr.
Browns big and of a chubby aspect
and is the father of u more numerou.
family than is commonly found in New
York. \ visitor to his house said tc
his wife, DO you notice how much Mr.
Brown looks like Tom Reed?"
Il don't see it myself. but it has often
been observed. When we lived in
Washington. Mr.. Brown was often tax
en- for Mr.. Reed"
yet there is no resemblance in de-
tail. It's all a matter of general eff
feet"
I'VE noticed long ago in this family
that the baby looked like Mr.. Brown.
So did the next baby and the next and
the next, until | realized that it was
not so much that the babies looked like
Mr.. Brown as that Mr.. Brown looked
like baby"
That's it! That's the secret Of Mr..
Browns resemblance to Mr. Reed. Mr..
Reed looked like a baby too."-Har-

ROOSEVELT DENOUNCED
D. 3. Hill Attacks His Course As Gov.
ernor Of New York.

~ % Fllll FAAdGka tbs NOuFSG AS GON
ernor Of New York.
Albany. N. Y, April S.-President
Roosevelt, in his official capacity as
governor of the state Of New York
came in for a sound berating by former
United States Senator David B. Hill
during his argument as counsel for the
corporations in the special franchise
tax case before the court of appeals.
Mr.. Hill attacked President Roose-
welt for his course as governor of this
state with reference to the passage of
the special franchise tax law. He en-
phatically denied that the corporations
were responsible for the alleged un-
constitutional features of the law, de-
claring that Governor Roosevelt him
self recommended them in SO many
words.
Governor Roosevelt he characterized
as a man of very limited experience
in the administration of state affairs,
and he accused him of forcing the
special franchise tax law upon the
legislature as "a political expedient"
at the behest of certain minor, semi
political and largely socialistic or
ganizations - self-constituted, ire
sponsible and noisy associations, most
ly of non-taxpayers. assuming a mo-
nopoly Of the championship of the
peoples alleged rights"
The bill, Senator Hill declared. was
rushed through the legislature in three
days and signed by Governor Roose-
welt without a hearing on the next
day thereafter-''the product of haste,
fckleness and undue clamor"
The court made no comment upon
Senator Hills attacks upon the for
mer governor. who is now president OF
the United States.
Governor Roosevelt needs no de-
fense at my hands" said the attorney
general. ''If he did nothing else than |
take the initiative steps which will |
place these enormous values in such /
relation to the tax law that they will 1
bear their share with the owners of !
cottages, business enterprises and I
other property now the subject of tax.
alton, he would have deserved the |
promotion with which he has been
rewarded"

plres Suddenly in Paris.
Paris, April Mrs. Horace Porter
wife of the American ambassador here
Is dead Mrs. Porter had been i'll only
few hours, and her death was wholly
unexpected. Congestion of the lungs,
following a chill was the cause of
death.
Mrs. Porter had not been in robust
health for some time, and decided to
make a stay in Zurich, Switzerland, for
rest and to recuperate. She returned
to Paris last week considerably i'm
proved, though retaining lingering
symptoms Of the prevailing epidemic
of grip, but the doctors did not consider
her condition serious. She seemed bet
ter yesterday, and the apparent i'm
provement continued during the middle
Of the day. A sudden change for the
worse was then observed and it became
manifest that the congestion had at
tackled her lungs. Mrs. Porter sank
rapidly until she expired an hour later.
1t is said. after the funeral services
here, the body will be placed in the
mOrtuary chapel until it is sent to
America. The news of Mrs. Porter's
death spread rapidly through the
American colony. and came as a COM
plete surprise. Few knew that she was
ill, and the announcement caused
shock and deep feeling of re-
gret, and many expressions Of esteem
were Forthcoming.

mated men, locals of the American
Federation of Labor. and. in fact, every
union man in the nation enlisted in the

and many labor leaders were overcome
by the magnitude of the project"
Mr. Shaffer intimated that after the
Amalgamated convention at Columbus
is over steps will be taken to get the
heads of the labor organizations of the
country to consider the plan systemat-
ically. He stated that this defensive
alliance is coming, and that its organi-
zation is only question of time.

Mandan, N. D.. April S-President
Roosevelt has been travelling through
familiar country and has received
hearty greetings wherever his train
stopped. At many places he recognized
old friends. and from his conversation
1t is evident that this has been one of
the most enjoyable days of his trip.
At Fargo, jamestown and Bismarck he
made stops of from half an hour to an
hour and discussed the conditions in
the Philippines the tariff and the gen.
eral prosperity of the country. Stops
also were made at Casselton, Tower
Valley City, the home of Governor
White; Dawson, Dickin and Medora.
The most interesting ceremony of the
day occurred at Medora, where the pres
ident at cne time owned a ranch and
which was his pOstOffice address 16
years ago, when he was sheriff of Bill
lings county. Medora is a small place.
but the ranchmen from the surround
ing country had come into town, and
they gave the president a truly western
reception. Joe Ferris the presid ent's
old foreman. and his brother. S. N

and rode with him to MedOra.
Standing in the private Office of Gov
ernor White at Bismarck. President

ances from the chiefs of the Mandans

distinguished chieftains of the tribes
had come from their agencies to see
the great father" and to assure him
of their support and good will. There
were many famous Indians in the as
semblage. John Grass, the orator and
chief justice of the Sioux, made the
presentation of the tribes good will +;
in a translation of the address, which /
had been agreed upon in council of the /
chiefs. At the same time Grass pre- |
sented the president a peace pipe of !
beautifully carved pipestone, in token /
of the good will and friendship of the
Indians.
I'VE have been treated well by the
good great father" said Grass. "and
we hope he will again be great father
when his time is over"
Water, chief of the Mandan Indians
also presented written assurances of
the good will of his people. Tell
him." said President Roosevelt through
the Interpreter. that I am glad to see
him. The Mandan Indians have always
done we'll" Then the wrinkled old
chieftains grasped the presidents
hand and sOlemnly grunted their ap-
proval.
Some Of them had fought against
Custer. The president had traded with

two of these Indians IS or 20 years ago.
and he instantly recognized them. The

DEMOCRAT PRESIDENCY.

Henry Watterson, the brilliant ed :
tor of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
declares that Grover Cleveland is again
after the Democratic nomination for
President The comment of the fire.
eating Kentuckian on the proposed
candidacy OF Cleveland for third term
makes good reading and is as follows:
ITO the great body OF the Democrats
OF the west and south Mr.. Cleveland is
an eyesore, an offense, a red rag, but to
those Democrats who, like ourselves,
would bridge the chasm OF 1896 and
1900, he is merely an obstruction. He
stands right across the middle of the
bridge, blocking the way. Except for
him there would be no serious trouble.
''lf we were his friend, and assuredly
we are not his enemy, and believe in
his lofty professions, we should still
counsel him to stand aside. We should
say to him. ''Mr. Cleveland, the Dem
ocratic shipwreck came to pass whilst
you were on the bridge. Many OF the
crew, and some passengers, hold you
responsible, guilty of incompetency, il
not of treachery. Even according to
your on rating OF yourself, you have
done enough for your party and your
country. You are an old man. Why
compllcate the situation, embarrassing
your friends and cheating your age of
its repose, by once more undertaking
to seize the helm and to steer the
ship"
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1903-04-16

There is curious and questionable
provision of New Hampshire's new Ii.
cense law which permits the inn-keep.
er In no-license towns to sell liquor tc
guests from out of town but prohibits
him from selling to residents of his own
town. This sets up discrimination
that is unfair and un-American. The
intent of the provision is to favor the
summer hotel business OF the State, but
1t violates the principle of equal rights
to all. There is no good reason why
non-residents should be accorded priv.
leges denied to residents. But even
then 1t would 'nt be such bad place to
spend summers vacation.

BOOMING NEVADA.
Outside Papers Doing Good Work
for the State.

The people outside of this State seem
intent on bringing this State to the
front whether the people stand for 1t or
not. Nearly all the important publ
cations are taking a hand in the doings
of the State in all of its industries.
Harpar's Weekly has had corps oil
men here writing up the different sec
tions, and when this article comes be-
fore the people of the Union it is bound
to attract more or less attention. Near
ly all of the big Eastern dailies devote
a certain amount of space to Nevada
and her resources, principally mining,
which shows that mining is yet regard
ed as the great industry Of Nevada.
The Utah papers devote space to our
products In nearly every issue, and some
OF the best mining news that is CLEANED
from the columns of any Of the papers
comes from Utah. All of the work on
this end is printed as news items, not
SO much line or inch, but as straight
news, as it interests the people of that
section, many of whom have holdings
in this Sta tie that demand the news.
On the other hand the California pa
pers as a rule demands cash in advance
for all the local writings that are given
to this section. California, since the
old days OF the Comstock, seems to have
lost interest in this State and devotes
its spare space to booming its own re-
sources, giving Nevada the go-by. The
fact that California overlooked Tono-
pah can, in measure, be figured as one
OF the causes OF her Indifference.
With proper advertising, Tonopah
would not be the only camp in the State
Half OF other promising districts are
not known Of. The average reader does
not realize the amount of advertising
the State is receiving through outside
influence. The exchanges that come
to the different papers of the State tell
the story, and from the amount and
tenor OF the work that is going on at
present, this State will command the
greatest attention of any OF the mining
territories in the West this year.
