RISE in SILVER.

A New York press dispatch says
that the sharp advance in the price
of bar silver in the London and New
York markets during the past few
weeks has carried it to the highest
mark since November, 1901. For
nearly six months the market has
been on the upward move. Reports
here Of the large smelling interests
say the rise is partly due to heavy
demand from India. Large wholesale
dealers iu that country are distribut-
ing good deal of the metal to the
retail trade. In addition it is be-
lieved that there was recently con-
siderable short interest in the metal
Silver is favorite article Of specula-
ton among London bullion dealers.
1t is believed by some that the
British government is buying silver,
although this cannot be confirmed.
France is, buying rather freely to
supply demand for coinage in the
French possessions in Asia. The po-
sition of China is not clear at the
moment beyond the fact that, where
China at the close of last year was
unloading large surplus Of the metal,
thus coming in competition with ship
ments from the west, it has now
ceased to be seller.
The purchases of the United States
government for Philippine coinage
have also been a factor.

LARGEST CIRCULATION In TONOPAH
HON. A. C. CLEVELAND.

G. G. Goodwin, editor of the Good
wins Weekly, is on old time Nevadan
and was warm personal friend OF
the late A. G. Cleveland. The recent
death of the latter inspired the fol-
lowing beautiful tribute to his memory,
and also to the pioneer, which we
reproduce from the last number Of
the Weekly:
SIN his death Nevada has lost one
of its foremost and distinguished and
respected citizens, and the grief over
his death will he universal in that
state. He was not only one of the
best, but one of the most public
spirited men of the state, and the
best work OF his life was in trying to
further it's interests. His wife and
the relatives in the east will have the
deepest sympathy of all who knew
the brave man who was her husband,
and if it will be any comfort to them
they may have the consolation of
knowing that their sorrow is shared
by hosts Of people from every rank
in life, from the ablest financiers
that we're ever on the coast, to the
humblest prospector who ever faced
the desert in search of a mine.
Zone by one the old band is pass
ing. Astrong and true and generous
company were they. Their natures
were in little way tvpified by the
manner OF A. G. Cleveland's death.
There was supreme trial to meet;
there were no repinings; no forebod-
ings; no troubling of friends. The
summons came and in moment the
hush of eternity had sealed the mirth-
full lips and the fearless great soul
had fed.
'Self-contained and unpretentious
were they. They absorbed into their
lives something like the silence of the
desert, so their purposes were not
advertised, their exploits were not
much heralded, but they were trail
blazers, path finders = conquerors.
They found the desert wrapped
around with serge and guarded by
heights which Desolation and Despair
had unreared, but they were not dis
mayed.
"Rather the hopes in their hearts,
the songs on their lips, their faith in
themselves we're sufficient to uphold
them. They laughed at toll, they
scoffed at hardships, heat and cold
and consuming thirst were accepted
as things to jest over, until the desert
relaxed its frowns and began to smile.
Never was band so loyal to each

Selling Stock on the Reputation
Of a NeighbOring Mine.

Selling Stock on the Reputation
Of NeighbOring Mine.
During the last few weeks mum
Der OF sales of Hannapah stock have
been recorded on the San Francisco
and Tonopah Stock Exchange, the
inference being that the stock was
that Of the Newhouse property at
Hannapah. Such is not the case,
however. The Newhouse company,
which is known as the Hannapah
Mining and Smelling company, has
no loose stock lying around seeking
purchasers. The company is close
corporation and it's stock is in the
hands Of few, who are not letting it
get away from them.
The Hannapah stock which is being
sold has been issued by the Hannapah
Mutual company, a promotion which
was put on the market few months
ago by G. M. Dabney. Its property
is located two miles east of the New
house, and has about fifty feet of
work done on it. At present it is
closed for repairs, or from some
other cause 1t may be good pros,
pect, but it is not the property it is
represented to be, and prospective
stockbuyers should investigate it be-
fore investing.

southern California, which, Mr.. For

reports as being warmer than up

DEmOCRArIC ROW.

A big row has been prccipitated by
the Democrats OF Washoe county,
caused by the action Of DR.. Patterson,
a Republican, in appointing adherents
OF that party and non-residents to
positions in the state insane asylum.
Patterson was appointed to his posi-
ton bv the board OF insane commission
ers, consisting of Governor Sparks,
Treasurer Ryan and Controller Davis.
Strong objection to Mr. Patterson's
appointment emanated from the Dem
ocratic press at the time, but owing
to his fitness for the position it was,
after a spasmodic outburst, allowed
to drop. However, his actions since
have aroused the ire of the Washoe
county central committee, and at a
meeting held at Reno on the 25th
ult., the following warlike resolu-
ton, which indicate an approaching
tangle were, passed:
WHEREAS: The state board OF
commissioners for the care of the in
sane have appointed DR.. w. H. Pat
terson, a-pronounced Republican, to
the office of superintendent of hospital
for mental diseases: and
WHEREAS: The said DR.. Patterson
has filed many Of the positions under
him with Republicans and has filed
positions with non residents of the
state; and
WHEREAS: Prior to the election
of November, 1902, the party leaders
promised the appointments to men,
bers of the party and the mechanical
work and all skilled labor to Union
Labor men, and both Of these pledges
have been grossly violated: and
WHEREAS: The aforesaid appoint
ments and actions are detrimental to
the interests of the Democratic party
and have weakened the party through
out the state, and particularly in
Washoe county; and
WHEREAS: The success of the Dem
ocratic party at the next general
election will require unity of action
and entire harmony in the party.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That
we, the Democratic County Central
committee, of Washoe county, with
the welfare and success of the party
at heart, demand the removal OF the
aforesaid DR.. Patterson and the APP
pointment Of Democrat to the
position of superin tendent of hospital
for mental diseases.

much SO as any mining or industrial

CANADIAN PROBLEMS.

Premier Balfour in speech deliv-
cred at recent banquet in London,
gave some sound advice to Canada and
Canadians on the subject of the Alas
kan boundary dispute He first told
Canadians that they have come out
of the controversy better than they
seem to think, for the loss of the two
islands in the Portland canal, which
has caused such bitter feeling in
Canada is not matter Of such great
Importance. He adds, The decision
must be Loyalty accepted, for the re
moval OF so serious controversy is
an inestmabe boon. :" Mr. Balfour
talked sense when he told Canada TO
accept the decision loyalty The
award was greatly in favor of the
United States, it is true, bus it was an
Englishman of unquestionably sound
Judgment who swung the balance of
evidence this way. Canada was
beaten, but fairly beaten, and she has
no cause TO complain. Canada had
Tar better turn her attention to the
perfection of trade relations with both
England and the United States, than
waste her time growing about the
award.
AS to Canadian feeling on trade re-
lations, Consul Culver has just made
special report to the State Depart
ment from his station in London,
Canada. He shows that at presens,
in spite of all the efforts that have
been made to exclude the manufactures
of the United States from Canada and
give preference to English goods. 60
per cent. OF the Canadian imports are
now from the United States and only
81 per cent from Great Britain. The
preferential duty of 30 per cent to
the mother country has had little or
no effect in diminishing trade with
this country. In fact the United
States sent So, 900, 600 more Of her pro-
ducts to Canada last year than ever
before.
Yet Notwithstanding these condi-
tions Consul Culver reports that Cana
dians are hopeful of supplying Eng
land in the near future with nearly
all her food products, aud that the
sentiment in favor of reciprocity with
the United States is diminishing.
Bur while reciprocity with this coun-
try is not regarded favorably, neither
il Joseph Ohamberlain's preferential
tariff scheme. Canadian manufactur-
ers object strenously to the suggestion
that their home market shall be sacri.
feed for the benefit of their British
rivals. for the sake of enlarging the
farmers grain exports Thus it is
seen that Canada feels amply able tt
look out for herself if let alone anc
that Joseph Chant erlaiu's scheme OF
any other scheme coming from Eng
land or the United States, is likely tC

The Freie Presse, leading Aus
trian newspaper, has just printed all
interview which a special CORE
spoudent in Washington had with
President Roosevelt, in which the lat
ter stated that the question of immi-
grafton is being constantly misunder-
stood. Il welcome all foreigners, {"
he said, who come as farmers or
farm laborers, but 1 object to those
whose coming depresses industrial
wages. I wish only such emigrants
would come whose grandchildren will
be as good American citizens as hope
my own grandchildren will be. {"
The President is firm friend of
the laboring man and every thing
that tends to lower wages he is op
posed to.

The supporters Of the bill passed
by the last Legislature which pro-
vided bounty on hedgehogs will
find comfort and satisfaction in the
fact that in Pennsylvania hedgehogs
are doing irreparable damage. Twenty
thousand acres of the finest timber
land of that State has been so badly
damaged that hunters are now being
employed to exterminate them The
trees OH many acres have been COM
pletely killed by being girdled. Per-
haps, after all the ridicule that the
hedgehog bill" has received it may
be boon to Vermont This State
hasn any rinib Der land to spare and
it may be cheaper to buy hedgehogs
at few cents apiece than to lose a
few million feee of lumber worth from
$l5 TO $40 per thousand feet.

there are still yearly multitude of

most of the yearly multitude OF

in the innocence and idealism of youth
to be something better. So did almost
every newspaper man. But Mr.. Pulit-

SANTO DOMINGO.

Ever since Jne republic OF OaDUO
Domingo was formed the little nation
has been a hot-b of revolution.
First one party is in control and then
another Differences in opinion are
settled there not by votes but by the
sword. To be sure, there are So
called elections and officers are chosen,
but if the defeated party thinks it can
win in fight, it gets the President
assassinated and starts in for rule by
bloodshed. 1t was long time ago
that Toussaint L'Ouverture led the
first real revolution which freed the
people of Santo Domingo from foreign
rule. The praises of L'Ouvertuie
have been shouted from the platform
by hundreds and thousands of orators
and wouldbe orators but it is doubt
full if many of them think of him MS
they read the reports of the latest at
tempt at revolution in the Indian re-
public.
The republic of Santo Domingo COM
prises about two-thirds of the island
of Hayti, while the republic of Hayti
is the other third The Dominicans are
mostly mulattoes and speak the Span
ish language while the Haytians are
largely pure blood negroes and speak
French. The Dominicans, until the
independence of Cuba was won, were
the only blacks, former slaves, and
descendants of slaves, who had ever
succeeded in wrestling supremacy from
their white masters and retaining it,
They have kept control but amid civil
strife and ignorance, and their prog
ress in civilization has been small.
The ups and downs of political parties
have made a dreary record Four
years ago Isdro Jiminez, the leader
of the more moderate faction of the
Liberal party, became President after
the overthrow and assassination of
President HeuseauX. Horacio Naquez,
the head of the more strenuous faction
of the Liberals, became vice president.
Jiminez and Yaquez failed to agree
and as a result Jiminez was unseated
ny Gl6 NuqueH party anu hSu w tho
United States while Vaquez became
President. Now the Jiminez support
ers are conducting revolution, but
according to latest dispatches unsuc.
cessfully.
This country is much interested in
Santo Domingo for the reason that al
most the entire foreign trade of that
country is with the United States,
The republic of Hayti trades almost
entirely with France but the Domini-
cans have always dealt with America.
They look to us for a market for their
sugar, which is their chief product.
Half of then sugar plantations are run
on American capital, and the revenues
OF the country and the national bank
are controlled by an American corpora
ton called the Santo Domingo Inn
provement Society. The same com
pany controls the only Dominican rail-
road. The United States has sent
warships there to look out for Ameli-
can interests and whichever way the
tide turns it will make but little
difference. The sentiments toward
this country will remain the same and
American capital will still find its
opportunities there.

ROOSEVELT IN 1904.

1t will be Roosevelt for President
in 1904 beyold reasonable doubt.
Enough States have already pledged
themselves for him to make good
other States have heartily endorsed
him without making any pledges,
though they are certain to fall into
line when the time comes. Roosevelt
will be nominated by reclamation,
say prominent Republicans at Wash
ington. The man who was shelved
into the second place on the national
ticket in order to get MIN out of the
presidential race, by the force Of cir
cumstances ana the power and indie
pendence of his own personality, has
completely turned the tables on the
older leaders and is now the recog-
nized head of his party and the chief
judge of its proper course. Those
people who were opposed to Roose-
welt because of his freedom from con-
ventionality and his honesty and in
tensity now accept his judgments as
party law. The President has en-
deared himself to the people, and the
politicians know enough to under
stand what that means.

Hanua's being candidate for nomi.
