The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls atarrh ure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have SO much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer one Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

wrote a number of letters and laid the
blame on women and games of chance.
OF course, without women, he would
never have been born. However,
Adam did the same thing with his
wife, Eve, and laid all the blame on
her. | don't believe it was either
brave or manly in either gentleman,
and it was certainly not gallant. Mr..
Mercer lays the blame of his act on
women and games of chance. | believe
both subjects can be fairly treated
under the title of women. As before
stated, Adam laid the blame for his
disobedience on Eve. Now, Adam
was an entity, no doubt, bat without
Eve we would all be non-entities. So
conclude that we should hold women
in greater respect and reverence and
extend to them the right of suffrage, i.

"a cheap coat makes a cheap man."
That's what Mckinley said in 1896
from his porch at Canton to 10000 as
sembled working men trampling upon
his lawn. If any of these men are now
freezing to death in Chicago they
might think the matter over and con-
clude that cheap coat is better than
no coal.

The Center of Interest.

Nevada is waking up. Enterprises,
industries, districts, municipalities
and states have their periods of rise
and fall.
Nothing seems free from change.
The geologist will explain to you in
the minutest detail how the mountain
and valley was formed when the world
was young, and how even now and
continuously the surface of the earth
is undergoing constant change. Our
difficulty in seeing such to be the case
arising from the fact that we ourselves
remain here such a short time as to be
unable to note the slow but sure evo-
luton.
The market philosopher will show
you the change in the market prices
for the last fifty years and predict the
future more OF less accurately.
The historian viii write Of the rise
''a'ei asii 81 v-asI'i.-7, ord point OUT oire
moral influences which tend to our de-
struction. In short nothing stands
still. Everything from emotions to
worlds is on the move.
a state cannot escape the inevitable
law and all signs now point to Nevada
as being the center of interest for the
mining and speculative world in the
immediate future. That she would
rise from a heightened period of de-
preston has been the belief of many of
her inhabitants but that the causes are
now apparent for such a rise is beyond
dispute.
More than a year ago | submitted
some observations on these points to
you regarding the duty and work
ahead for those interested in the well
fare of Nevada, taking the ground that
Nevada as a state should assume that
its main and principal business was
mining, and therefore should set to
work and conduct that business Just as
a business man would run his store.
Developments have shown since that
time that there is a greater necessity
To-Day than then Tor carefully consider
ing how Nevada, as a state, shall reap
her proper reward.
There is, undoubtedly, within her
vast stores Of wealth-prob-
ably more than we know of or can con-
ceive. Men of large means and extern
sive influence in the eastern money
centers are looking this way. 1t is no
easy matter to advertise a state and
yet Nevada is talked of more in Phila-
delphia money circles than all the
other mining states combined
This is also beginning to be the fact
in New York and Boston, while Chi
cago, st. Louis and other cities have
hardly heard of our banner mining
camp as yet.--Exehange.

Carson Letter.

ED. CoURIER:-I suggest to the leg
islature that the early and speedy
passage of the following Act would be
heartily welcome:
CHAP. An Act to repeal an Act
entitled can act to provide FOR more
uniform valuation and assessment of
property in. this state, approved March
l6,. 1901.
The people Of the State of Nevada,
represented in Senate and Assembly,
do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. An Act entitled can Act
to provide for more uniform valua-
ton and assessment Of property in this
state" approved March is, 1901, is
hereby repealed.
Any member can copy the foregoing
and it will do. There is crying de-
mand for its passage and there is no
doubt about it. The late meeting of
the State Board of Assessors at Carson,
who, under their solemn oaths, met for
the purpose of providing more uni
form valuation and assessment of
property in this State" by their work
have emphasized the demand for the
repeal of the Act that brought them
together. More fragrant, Haunting
and damnable conduct on the part OF
men sworn to perform the most solemn
and most important duty resting upon
the conscience of officers is difficult to
find anywhere. There is no higher or
more important duty to perform i'm
partially within the economy of gov
eminent by law than equal taxation,
the imposition of equal burdens, and
making every man bear according to
his strength and contribute according
to the size of his pile towards the costs
of protecting that pile, and the main
tenance of the machinery of the gov
eminent, which protects men in their
lives, their property and the pursuit of
happiness. But what did they do?
These things in the similitude of men
assessed stock cattle at 81 head and
the Southern Pacific railroad at S15,-
600 a mile The road is bonded for
ten times what it is assessed at and
pays current rates of interest on their
bonds. What is the excuse for such
conduct? The apologists say that the
railroad people are trying to treat
Nevada better than it has in the past,
and in support of this they cite the
fact that the company will this year
permit emigrants from the east travel
ing to California. to stop over at Reno,
without charging them extra for the

give another reason, and that is that
the railroad company has been to
great expense-about $4,000, 0a0-dur- |
ing the past year in making improve

his farm or town lot by building

for such ''work." In connection with
this subject l desire to compliment the
Assessors in every county in the First
Judicial District = Esmeralda, Lyon,
Storey, Ormsby and Douglas, and the
Assessor of Nye, who struggled o raise
the railroad assessment to as high a
figure as he could.

Two masked men entered the Butler
saloon at Tonopah Monday night, and
going into the club room, ordered ten
men who were present to line up
against the wall. Mr.. Cole, who was
in charge, resisted the demand and
one of the robbers fired at him with a
revolver, wounding him. The men
then secured the funds in the money
drawers, about $500, and made their
escape. There is no clue to the rob-
bers and many believe this is the same
gang that held up the Tonopah stage
and later robbed the Golden ewelry
store OF several thousand dollars.

From all over the country comes a
cry of coal shortage. Two hundred
thousand persons in Chicago are suf-
fering from grave ailments directly
due to cold and exposure resulting
from the coal famine, according to the

increase in the death rate are already

1t may not be amiss to remind our
Republican friends that it was during
the year of our Lord 1902, year of
unprecedented prosperity, year that
produced $3.50, 900, 900 bushels of corn
as against 1, 1922, 100000 bushels in 1901.
and produced 252, 2OO,0OO tons of BIZ
luminous coal, as against pa, $40, 600
tons in 1901, and during which year
the manufacturers of the United States
turned out $4,000, 900, 900 worth of
their products, which witnessed the
greatest amount of suffering, not ex-
cepting Coxey's year. 1t was only the
very poor who suffered that year, but
this year even the middle class is af-
fected. BY the middle class | refer
particularly to provident, Industrious
working people who constantly save
a part of their wages. 1t would seem
that political party responsible for
the intense suffering this winter of this
class of people and death for want of
proper warmth, owing to the high
price of coal, condition brought
about for the purpose of squeezing
their little boards out of the savings
banks, will be held to a strict account
ability for its conduct next election.

We believe the suggestion made by
Mr.. Newlands that the tax rate be re-
duced ten cents each year and the
valuation of taxable property proper
tionately increased is a good one. 1t
should be tried. 1t would make a
much better showing for the State if
the tax rate was cut in two in the mid
die and the valuation multiplied by
two.

Our lords and masters, the protected
barons, say the tariff must not be
touched, unless it is raised, because
the first men to feel the evil effects of
a lower tariff will be the small con-
Germs, the infant industries. Yet,
amid their tears for the infants, they
organize gigantic trusts and whenever
an infant shows its head they knock
prices down until they knock him in
the head and kill him. They also say
that the tariff should be kept up in the
interests of American labor. Yet what
do they not do against the interests
and the dignity of the American
workingman?

publican forces which have lined
up behind Mr.. Quay and Mr..
Foraker, Despite the fact that

stories ofdesertions from the slales
hood ranks no fact has been cited
to indicate Ii. A clear majority Of
the Senate seems to be for the
statehood bill and will be ready to
vote with Mr.. Quay today
on all propositions. Senator
Foraker, who has become just
as active as Quny, said:
"The newspapers seem to be
talking as II there was some deep,
dark mystery in this etf,rt to Sc.
cure the passage Of a bill or to de.
feat it. 1t is ell open and above
board and anyone ought TO be able
TO see II. II the other Iside had
enough votes to defeat the bill they
would be anxious to bring Il TO

mittee on territories admit that
the friends OF the omnibus bill
have a msjoritory at this time,
Mr.. Beverage puts the majority
at one. He expresses the greatest
confidence In the committees abil-
ity to defeat the bill.
An stSart probably will be made
this week TO substitute some other
measure Of an alleged emergency

II can be displaced on the calendar
on any pretext its fate is sealed.

Of substituting an alleged emer
gency measure for 1t. Republican
senate leaders are trying TO bring
party pressure 90 buHr By reeOuut-
ing the political disasters which
have followed the admission Of
small Western states. Senators
who voted for the admission Of
the Dakotas, Wyoming, Utah and
Washington refer to their action
as a monumental folly. These
states, admitted under the impres.
sion that they would strengthen
the republican party, are charged
with making Organism possible,
and threatening the success of the
republican party at time when
its defeat would have been al
overpowering calamity.
