Sparks POstoffice BOycOtted.

Sparks is now undergoing the novel
experience of having a boycott placed
upon it's postoffice. The people of
the new railroad town held Il meeting
Monday and resolved that in the
future they will not have their mail
received there, neither will they mail
letters in the new town. The action
was taken after much complaint of
unsatisfactory service in the delivery
and sending of letters from the town.
Boxes have been established at the
different business houses. The peo-
pie deposit their letters in these and
they are sent to Reno to be mailed.
The Truckee-C Carson irrigation pro
iect, when completed, will cost nearly
ten million dollars.

The Elkin COhn Gold Brick.

The. San Francisco papers contain
the following:
Max Gutter, credited with having
passed gold brick on Elkin Cohn,
money-lender, was arrested this week.
He declares he came back from Nome,
Alaska, especially to face the charge
OF obtaining money by false preten-
ses, Cohn having averred he gave up
about Sl700 in cash in exchange for
the brass contained in the brick.
Gutter was taken into custody at
the Lick House. After being taken
to the Office of the Chief of Police he
asked permission to make trip in
the custody of detective to find out
why he was thus left in the lurch. De-
tectives Bunner and Freel were detail
ed to keep Gutter in sight during the
noon hour and reported at o'clock
this afternoon.
Cohn has offices in the Crossley
building, and after Gutter left the
brick in his charge and left the city
the duped man declared that Gutter
had swindled him out of about 10000
in the aggregate The one deal in
volving the brick was on the basis of
SLIGO cash and cancellation of old
debts amounting to about Sl7, 900.
Elkin Cohn believed that it was a
good gold brick until, in company
with his suspicious brother, Morris,
he journeyed with it to the Mint. Then
he learned the truth which his BROTH
er had been limiting to him from the
first time that he learned the details
ofthe transaction.
In mining deals is where Gutter al
ways managed to get the best of him,
Cohn said. His brother Morris assert
ed that Gutter seemed to have pecu-
liar influence over Elkin and he was
indignant, but unable to overcome it.
Cutters home is i'm Alameda, where
Detective Gibson was informed by
Mrs. Gutter before warrant was is
sued by Police Judge Morgan that her
husban was innocent.
81 never had that gold brick or
passed one on Conn., said Gutter this
afternoon. "Why, only this morning
Cohn had breakfast with me and he
assured me that he did not want me
arrested. He said the warrant was
in his safe and would not be arrest
eds But knew something was wrong
and was going to surrender myself as
soon as l could attend to some busi-
ness. This morning | was pointed out
at the Lick House by Morris Cohn,
my friends brother. Morris and | are
bitter enemies.
"Cohn and | are interested in min
ing deals and also in the oil fields.
He knows about my acts and while |
was in Nome he had power of attor-
cry to act with reference to the oil
fields. He knew where | was going
for he was with me when | bought my
ticket to Nome.
Il would like to see anybody get
$50, 900 away from Cohn in any put
up job"

CAPITAL AND LABOR

We submit the labor record of the
Republican party against the professions
OF Democracy. Republicanisn has built
up n tariff wall about this country which
gives the American markets To the pro-
duets of American labor. 1t has in
every State where in power enacted
legislation favoring shorter hours and
sanitary conditions OF labor, prohibited
child labor, and passed stringent laws
for the safeguarding of the life and limb
| Of employees. Ii has under Theodore
Roosevelt submitted arbitration, as in
the coal strike, for the bullet and bayo-
net of the last Democratic administra-
tion in its settlement of the Pullman
strike. Promising little, performing
much. it has been the true and tried
friend of both capital and labor, whom
ii holds rs equal and concordant parts
Of the nations industrial economy. The
Republican party will not support capi-
tai in oppression nor labor in violence.
Ii recognizes organized labor as the unity
a more equitable distribution of the
fruits of industry. 1t is the trusted ally
of both capital and labor; for capital in
the things which are essential TO the
successful government of enterprises,
and with labor in its crusade for reason
able hours at the highest wages consis-
tent with the successful conduct of
business. In this State it ftvors eight
hours labor upon all public works and
as the legal work day in mines, quartz
mills and smelters, and will uphold
Legislation giving it proper and equitable
force and effect.
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
We favor the economic conduct of the
State government, the generous treat
ment of the orphan wards of the State
and the humane care ofthe insane. We
are justly proud of the public school
system of Nevada and the State Univer-
sity and will favor all reasonable prop
ositions calculated to improve their
efficiency and usefulness.
INVITATION TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Recognizing the fact that many of the
most patriotic and progressive citizens of
the State of Nevada have for several
years past east their ballots against the
Republican ticket because of their dis
belief in the financial views of the fact
that there is no issue between the party
and the national parties upon the subject
of finance, cordially invite all such fellow
citizens to renew their political fellow
ship with us and to share with us i'm the
plOries of Our certain victory mt the
coming general election.

For weeks the newspapers have been
trying to draw from Judge Parker of
New York an expression of his views
on things political. But he holds that
a judge in his position should hold his
tongue-and lie isn't seeking the nom-
ination on the Democratic ticket any
way. 1t looks now, however, as though
it vas to be a question of Parker or
Hearst. 1t is natural, therefore, that
there should be considerable curiosity
about what Judge Parker thinks OF
the leading questions political.

There was a decided deficiency in
moisture for March all over the state.
Sioux Falls reports but half an inch
for that month, while the annual aver
age is an inch more than that. The
winter was marked by less snow than
usual and the state went into winter
quarters after Il dry fall. Altogether
there is much less moisture in the sub
soil than usual and it will require
plenty of spring rains to start the
small grain. The stubble fields are,
however, in prime condition for plow-
ing and for the most part the soil
works perfectly.

Official Paper Of the City and County

AS will be seen by the council pro-
ceedings, the board of aldermen have
granted Rev. e. E. O'Flaherty per-
mission to tap the water main on
South Main street at the corner OF c..
r. Tinan's residence with Il two.inch
main for the purpose of getting water
to the Catholic church property. AS
the main which it is proposed to tap
is but two i%nches-and a wood nam
at that-it could not be tapped with
another Of the same siZe-and it would
not he practical anyway. Nobody
knows this better than members Of
the council, and it Is not likely that
they are playing horse with Father
IO'Flaherty. He wanted to tap the
main with a one.inch pipe, but this
the council wisely would not permit
for various reasons. The inference,
therefore, is that the council, realiz-
ing the need OF a larger nam down
South Main street, contemplate re-
placing it with one of sufficient capa-
city to supply the consumers in that
part of the town, who for the past
two years paid ar exhorbant price for
a miserable service. While it would
be desirable to lay a new main the
the full length of the street, yet if a
! four-inch pipe was laid to the corner
half wsy-it would make a decided
lily improved service and might an
swer all purposes-at least for IL few
years, when the remainder of the dis
lance could be covered, thus dividing
the expense into different periods.
There has never been any fire hydrant
or The least protection to the property
? in that part of town. The laying of a
new main would enable a hydrant to
be placed on the street and fed with a
four-inch main. There is sufficient
hose to reach from the Tinan corner
to any residence in that part of town.
The property owners should at once
petition the council in the matter,
and ii the council sees tit to make the
improvement it should be done before
hot Weather-and the time is short.

AS will be seen by a new ordinance
published in the GRAPHIC to-day, any
owner of a dog allowing il to run at
large without Il muzzle is liable to a
fine of IS. and the marshal is instruct
ed to kill any dog so found. There are
a whole lot Of dogs in this town that
ssnever would he missed" but we
question the effectiveness of the new
ordinance in Kidding the town of them.
The muzzle feature was prompted by
pressure on the council by those who
fear hydrophobia-at least, that is the
inference. That disease, however, is
so very rare that it hardly calls for
any restriction so radical as the new
ordinance. The GRAPHIC believes
that the license tag is far better rem.
edy for the dog nuisance. Muzzles are
cruel and inhuman in hot weather.
And, incidentally, rabies is not more
prevalent in summer than in winter
though ignorance of statistics lead
many to believe otherwise. If a man
does not think enough of a dog tn pay
a dollar a year on him and has not
enough feeling for the rights of others
to pav that much to the public treas.
ury for the privilege of letting the dog
run the streets, it is just as we'll that
the dog be gotten rid of. The muzzle
does not abate any of the nuisance,
however much it may disarm fear in
tlmid persons.

that a bill for the system was killed in

says that it will have but a few
mourners except in Polk county,
where there is a strong demand for a
primary law that will insure against
the recurrence of such scenes as at

mary. There is very little need of the
