A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

The Regular Republican members OF
the Legislature have a definite propo-
sition. which must be either accepted
or rejected within twenty-four hours.
1t places upon their shoulders vast
responsibility. But no man bears a
great responsibility without
great opportunity. The man who fears
public censure would shrink from
the burden they have forced upon
them, but the strong man would re-
joice in the privilege OF deciding a
question of such moment A way OF
electing two senators without Addicks
has been found. If it Is rejected. then
any less favorable solution will be
charged TO those who put aside the
plan that is offered. The Union Re
lpuiblicans used as a campaign argu-
ment that we need two senators. Per-
haps they made too much Of this. as
there is now the possibility OF electing
two senators, leaving out Addicbs.
Perhaps what they really meant was
that we need two senators. providing
Addicks is one of them il is a beauti-
ful argument, although Il is so full o
holes that it leaks like a seive. II
runs: You need two senators. oh. ever
so much. We have withdrawn from
the Union since we are without rep
resentataon. But we will not allow
anyone to be elected untn you elec
Addicks. Therefore, his election IS
necessary TO save Delaware to th'
Union. Pretty. isn't il? But, suppos'

allowed to dip their hands into the

But, then, we suppose there is no use

gone up, and viii go still higher; It is

WILL NorPAY TAXES

Will W Il a Z Ah-ANlD
The press generally has copied the
STORY printed in the Evening Journal
ON Saturday to the effect that suit has
been brought against j. Edward Ad-
dicks for his road taxes for three
years past Under ordinary clrcum-
stances # would not be a subject for
comment as we should presume that
the delinquent was I'M Strengthened CIR
cumstances, and that, therefore, he
should have the charity OF our silence
but during the term for which these
taxes are owing he has undoubtedly
spent for campaign purposes an encr-
nous sum. During this time two cleo
tions have been held at either of which
he has probably spent more than his
road taxes would amount to in hum
dred years.
1t is difflcult for a man to conceal
his true character; It win crop out un-
expectedly and IL It contains base
metal It Will make its presence known.
His spending Of hundreds Of thousands
OF dollars for the corruption OF voters
shows his character, and his refusal to
pay his taxes does the same The SEN
atcrship is a thing he wants, and de-
cenoy law and self-respect, all are
brushed aside in his struggle to get
it. He spends money like water to
crafty self. but when Il comes to the
contribution required OF him by law
for the support of the public highways.
John Edward Addtcks refuses. why?
Because he is not personally interest
ed Roads must be kept up, to be sure,
but his neighbors can attend to that
Many a man in his district has had to
practice economy, and deny himself
many things in order to pay taxes for
keeping the roads in proper condition.
while this vulgar adventurer aanks his
wealth and his vulgar ostentation in
their faces, boasts Of the cattle he has
bought and declares that he will be
their United States senator or nobody
shall be. But on road taxes he is shy;
let the poor man who doesn't want TO
80 TO the Senate pay them.
In the years Addicks has been before
our people he hasn't showed a redeem
ing trait. Is he able? Nobody ever ac-
cuEed him Of ability, save as a specula-
tor On stocks. Is he informed on pub
Tic affairs? Nobody ever heard him ut
ter a word that showed even passing
interest in or the slightest knowledge
of public Affairs. Is he a gentleman? +?
Ask gentlemen who have been thrown
in association with him. Is he gener-
GUS? Those who have received gratui-
ties from him have had to give a re-
turn, but It has cost them dear. as
honor once sold is hard TO regain. II
isn't pleasant TO say it, but 1t is never
theless true that John Edward Ad-
dicks, in the years that he has been
before the public hasn't shown onr
redeeming trait certainly not the re-
motest sign Of any qualification for the
great office OF United States senator.

II it proves true that j. Pierpont
Morgan has started to have Grover
Cleveland nominated and elected
next year, the matter is serious. 1t
must be remembered that Mr.. Cleve-
land gave Morgan his first great
start in life. Morgan was promi-
nent banker, but that was all, until
Mr.. Cleveland and Carlisle gave him
the placing of $3.50, 600, 600 in govern
ment bonds. Some SIS, 900, 600 was
cleared by that transaction. Allow
ing that Cleveland received $1,000
900 and Carlisle $500, 1000, Lamont
$500, 900, and there was still enough
left for Morgan to make of himself a
controlling force in the financial
world.-Goodman's Weekly.

Fatality at Lone Mountain.

One Antonio Montigari, a native
of Italy, aged about thirty-fve
years, was the victim of an accident
at Lone Mountain on Monday last,
whereby he came TO horrible death.
He was engaged in burning lime, on
the night shift, and alone. When
the day shift came to work the de-
ceased was found partially covered
by the front wall of the kiln, which
had fallen upon him, and that his
feet and legs had been burned away.
Montigari was a hard worker and
leaves considerable personal prop
erty. Upon being summoned by
telegraph, A. j. Mccarthy, justice
of the peace at Hawthore, came
here and proceeded to the scene as
acting coroner, Lone Mountain being
in Esmeralda county, by whom all
necessary arrangements for burial
OF the remains were made.

Editor Mccarthy of the Walker
Lake Bulletin, our nearest out-of-
town neighbor,in law, paid the Bo-
MANIA a welcome visit during the
week. Our reporter made some in
quiries concerning the mining indus
try of Esmeralda. Mr.. Mccarthy
was raised on the Comstock, and
therefore what he says about the in
cidentals of extracting gold and sill
yer from earthly matter is worthy of
attention. We happen to know that
he, at an uncertain patented loca-
ton on government reservation ran
an open.cut tunnel perpendicularly.
After drifting a crosscut he sunk an
upraise from a winze. While the
corporation was declaring assess
ments the muckers struck for longer
hours and less pay Then General
Manager Mccarthy hydraulicked
into the drifts, spurs and angles OF
officialdom.

That Is What Is What the Democrats and
Sherman Men Are Looking For.
Speaker Miller has given no indica-
ticn of the order IN which he will rec
cgnize the introducers of the minority
reports nor has he said what action he
will take in reference to giving roll
call on the question of adopting the
amendments. He has said, however,
that there will be roll call on the
adoption of the rules. The Democrats
and Sherman men express the opinion
that their amendments will be killed
under the gavel. Once the amendments
are out of the way it is not likely that
any of the Republican members will
vote against the adoption of the major
fty report. for nothing can be gained
by rejecting it. 1t embodies nothing
but the rules which are now in force,
and which will remain as the rules Of
the house until others are adopted.
Aside from the adoption of the rules
and the appointment of standing COM
mfttees there is nothing of particular
interest to come up In the house this
week which can be foreteld at this
time. There will be a large number
of bills introduced, but little can be
done in the way of considerating them,
for the committees will not be organ
ICED before the end of the week.
The senate is now ready for bust
ness, and its committees will hold
regular sessions during the week. 1t Is
reported that an effort will be made to
rescind the rule which took from Lieu
tenant Governor Northcott the power

mittees, and that the effort il likely to

At meeting of the Rock Island

secured the local association will en-
deavor to have another site for park
before the end of the season. Sew

Rules For Year.

President Sexton expects to be call
ed this week to attend the meeting
of the committee on rules, which will
probably be held in Chicago. Mr.. Sex
ton will be one of those representing
the National association. and both the
big leagues will also be represented.
He anticipates that there will be very
few changes made in the playing
rules. The one that will receive the
most attention is the foul strike rule
and the probabilities are there will
be an attempt made to change the
rule on errors so that only wild
thrown balls and muffs in the field
will be called errors. The pitchers
box will probably be reduced to the
level of the diamond. Measures may
be introduced allowing batter four
strikes and giving the pitcher sub
stitute batter.

Springfield, Ills, Feb. 2.-Represent-
alive Fred Pullen, of Marion county,
has introduced bill In the legislature
by which he hopes to divert the tax Of
Z per cent. of the gross earnings of
the Illinois Central railroad from the
Golfers of the state to help out the pub
lie funds of the counties through
which the road runs. At present the
company, while owning valuable prop
erty in several cities. pays nothing to
the support of their local government.
Pullen's bill provides that when
county and city tax duplicates are
made up, the taxes, with the exception
of the state taxes, shall be extended
against the Illinois Central property,
but shall not become a lien against
1t. The tax shall not be collected by
the tax collectors, but that when re-
turns to the county collector shall be
made he shall count such extended
amounts to the credit of the corpora
ton to which il is due and deduct ii
from the amount of state tax due the
state treasurer from his county.
