Profits PiIing Up

Less than a year ago, Fritz Elges,
the sheep man. invested SITS in the
50 acre tract, formerly owned by the
late VIM. Moore. on the Carson river.
Last Tuesday he sold the property to
the Nevada Gold Placer Mining Co.
for 81 5000 cash in hand. AS a large
part of the land is rich in auriferous
deposits, running to millions, the COM
pany made a good buy, contingent on
their success in saving it. The con-
census of opinion, however, by every
one who has investigated their pro-
cess is hat 1t will save the gold. The
benefits accruing to this section are
inestimable and the Record joins In
the hope that the investment will pan
out millions.-Record.

Washington, May Is.
Senator Allison has completed the
draft of the tariff plank for the Iowa
platform and, during his recent stay
at Hot Springs. Va, showed to Sen
ators Aldrich and Spooner the word
ing of the declaration which met with
the entire approval of Mr.. Aldrich,
the leading authority on the tariff in
the Senate. While the wording of
the plank must for the present. be
treated as confidential, the fact that
il met with the appreciation of Mr..
Aldrich is in itself a complete refu-
tation of the widely circulated story
which was published under a Sioux
City date line, to the effect that the
Iowa idea was still uppermost in the
minds of Governor Cummins, the
President and Senator Allison. The
facts are that there is complete har-
mony in the republican ranks in
Iowa and there exists no demand for
immediate tariff revision which it is
appreciated could not be undertaken
in a presidential year without i'm
1,inent danger to the prosperity which
the nation is now enjoying.

Little was accomplished at Hot
Springs in the way of preparing a
financial bill because of the absence
Of Senator Plat of Connecticut who
was detained at home. An important
project which it is believed would
provide for the greatly needed elastic
ity of the currency, was, however,
discussed to some extent. This was
TO authorize national banks to issue
currency to the amount of 20 per
cent of their capital stock on which
issue there would be imposed a tax of
from 3 to 5 per cent, the rate being
As yet undetermined. 1t is believed
that banks would, under such a pro-
vision, avail themselves of such au-
thorization in times when money was
Tcarce but would be deferred from
maintaining the extra circulation
when the demand lessened because Of
the tax.

The Kaiser's Omission.

Kaiser Wilhelm has come in for Il
large amount of criticism because he
declined to put George Washington on
his list OF the great men OF the world,
1t is unfair. William expressed his
sentiments, as every man has a right
to do, and according to his lights
George Washington did more mischief
than good.
Washington gave monarchy the
worst jolt it ever received. He made
its pretensions empty. its divine claims
ridiculous. He began that new era in
human thought and freedom which is
spreading over the world. He founded
the nation which drew from Germany
much OF its best intellect and most
valuable energy.

Loss of Life in 1902.

The loss of human life in 1902, apart
from the ordinary ravages of disease,
was greater than it has been in any
year for considerable period, says the
Nashville Banner. 1t is estimated that
the deaths caused by the volcanic
eruptions in the West Indies numbered
about $4,000, and thousands more
deaths resulted from a like cause in
other parts OF the world. War added
something like $4,000 to $4,000 to the
list of the fatalities, the greatest losses
of this character being in the Trans
wall China, Africa and Venezuela
Deaths from epidemics aggrega ted
about 3S5,000, which is estimated as
nearly $4,000 more than in the preced-
ing year, while shipwreoks account for
400 of the accidental deaths, or nearly
double those from that cause in 1901
Suicide figures a grand total of s., 231
The number of deaths caused by lnur-
der and accidents of various kinds
will foot up large aggregate. which
cannot be approximately estimated.

Senator SmoOt.

The Hon. Reed Smoot is now a SEN
ator of the United States, and he will
remain a senator for the state of Utah
for six years. The effort to deprive him
of his seat because of his religious be-
lief has fallen fiat. and while there may
be more or less noise hereafter, the SEN
ate will pay little attention to it. The
broad, tolerant spirit of the age was
we'll voiced by the ministerial alliance
of Salt Lake City few days ago.

the widely circulated false
hood that Senator Smoot is polygam-

proof that Mr.. Smoot was guilty of

the senate because of his religious be-
lief would manifest a narrowness of

capable.

Elements of Greatness.

Byron, who died fighting a battle of
sentiment for Greek liberty, paid the
highest tribute of any European to
Washington in "Childe Harold's Pill
grimage." Byron was a republican
and citizen of the world because of his
sincere devotion to the classical liter
allure and the classical spirit which
had their highest manifestation in the
Athenian commonwealth. Byron saw
clearly in his day that Washington was
the greatest and nobles3 figure in his
tory. The poet pronounced his eulogy
in heroic terms betting a great poem.
1t has remained for the senior sen
ator from Massachusetts, George Fris-
bic Hoar. to analyze the greatness and
nobility of Washington in a few words
addressed to his countrymen. The
senator said at Chicago: "Washington
has but one lesson for US: one lesson
for the country; one lesson for each OF
his countrymen. 1t is the old lesson,
older than history, old as creation.
That is that justice, veracity, unselfish-
ness. character, lie at the founda ton
of ali national and all individual great
ness. 1t is to this the story of George
Washington is a perpetual witness to
his countrymen. 1t will be their fault
if they do not make their country its
perpetual witness to mankind"
The masses of the American people
are true to the ideals that Washing
ton eXemplified. Exceptions there are,
but their influence must be transitory

eriul, has no Immortality in the highest

gard from his countrymen.-Roches

A Good Bill Defeated.

1t is regrettable that the Aldrich
financial bill was presented to the SEN
ate so late in the session as to permit
it to be talked to DEATH for the best
Judgment of the country regarded it as
measure of great merit. Such an as
tute manager as Senator Aldrich should
have foreseen disaster TO the bill. how
ever, when he saw the minority of the
senate wasting practically the entire
session to a filibuster against the state
hood bill. Probably there We're very
few senators who were at heart OPP
posed to the Aldrich measure, but the
opportunity for revenge was too good
to be overlooked by weak human ma
ture.
Had the great financial scheme pre-
scented by the senator from Rhode Isl
and become a law, it would seem that
there would have been little need at
least for the present, for further leg
islation for the relief of the monetary
situation, whether through changes,
which have been suggested from time
to time in the law governing the in
dependent treasury system, or through
the reformation of our banking laws
having for its object provisions for 4
more elastic currency.
The extraordinary scope of the meas
ure is indicated by the following con-
else summary: 1t provided: % for the
acceptance by the Secretary of the

CURRENT

The Story of a Meteorite.

Professor Harrington of the Field
Columbian museum, is reported to have
found free phosphorus in a meteorite
discovered in Saline county, Kan.
In some comments upon this discov-
ry it is said that free phosphorus is
not found in terrestrial substances.
Hence the deduction that meteorites
come from outside space. This may be
confirmation of an old deduction. 1t
certainly is not new. 1t has long been
the belief of scientists that meteorites
come from space outside our planet.
1t is a further deduction, we are told,
that "meteorites are not hot, as is gen
orally supposed, but come from ex-
tremely cold places somewhere out in
space"
Let us not be so unjust to Professor
Harrington as to suppose he talks like
that. He knows it is not generally
supposed that meterOites are hot so
long as they are out in space. But
when they enter our atmosphere the
friction makes them hot. in fact, the
heat so generated disintegrates them,
so that only those of considerable size
reach terra firma in solid form.
Professor Harrington would not be
likely to talk about very cold places
somewhere out in space We have no
very good reason to believe that far
out in space one place is much colder
than another or that there is enough
oxygen anywhere there 10 prevent the
existence of free phosphorus.
A more interesting deduction is that
either d mcteorite containing free
osphOrous can never come from
warm place where oxygen is preva-
lent, like our planet or else that if it
was projected into space from such a
planet or sun the extreme cold or other
influence of space has the effect to
