A FIRE DEPARTMENT
Is the Most Badly Needed Thing in
GOldlield at Present.

It is about time that the p.ople of
Goldfield awoke to the need of fire de-
partment for the town and preparations
should be made for securing the neces-
sary apparatus. The need is apparent
and something should be done at once to
start the ball rolling. The merchants
are adding to their stocks daily and are
running too great risks in not having
suitable apparatus to fight fires with.
Who will be the good man to push this
good work?

Mr.. B. Brooks was really quite clever
this week. One couldn't have as Irish
name as Rooney" without being able to
appreciate joke whether it is on him or
on the other fellow. If Sister Elsie will
continue on that tack, instead of working
the matchmaking game, he will do what
most people in Tonopah say he cannot
he will win "recognitiOn."

Regret was expressed by many at
the small display Of live stock at the
fair this year, particularly that of
the beef breeds Of cattle, hogs mules
aud sheep. Better inducements
should be made to bring out larger

class herd headers in Shorthorn,

mules, why, there were mules by

sidered prize winners in any Of the

Queer Democratic Premiums

Mr. Parker has taken pains to re-
mind the voters of the country that
the Senate will continue to be Re
publican during the next four years.
The evident point is that q democrat
ic president could do no harm, un
less republican senators were caught
of their guard or joined in demo
cratic movements. This peculiar in
ducement will not bear examination.
1t is as desirable gift as q toy Pis-
tol. Legislative tetanus may not be
fatal, but it is q dangerous disease
It is something new for president
isl nominee to hold out deadlock
ed administration as a prize package.
The people divide into parties With
a positive expectation, or at least de
sire, to win. An inability to 60 for
ward or backward is n9s attractive to
the American mind. Parker is the
first politician to offer this sort Of
lagniappe.
Mr.. Hill, who is Mr.. Parker's
trainer and confidential friend, has
issued the rosy promise that he will
retire from politics on the first day
of the coming year. Here is anoth-
er unique douceur. Hill announces
that he will bestow upon the country
the benediction Of his retirement,
aud the assurance intended is that
Hill will not run the White House il
Parker is elected, nor take any part
ia politics. These democratic al
lurements open new chapter in the
evolution Of seductive promises. But
the cry is for more. Will the demo-
cratic party, at the end Of the pres.
ent campaign, agree to go perms-
n emily out OF business? Make the
Iargess worth while. BY the way,
Grandpa Davis has not yet specified
his premium. He might at least
say that he will hold himself in
readiness to lead state cotillons and
join in high Olympic sports when
not presiding over the Senate. Busi
ness is 30 drll at the democratic
stand that the bargain counter is
getting stacked up with curiosities

Law and order or Anarchy.

The campaign in this state is no
longer question of political su
premacy between the two old parties
for the lines are being more tightly
drawn every day, and ss the demo
cratic party is making an effort to
swallow up the socialistic organiza
ton known as the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners, it has about resolved
itself into fight berween law and
order rs against anarchy. Ameri
canism against socialism; and it will
soon be for the people to decide. So
far as this state is concerned, it is
not question Of Peabody, Orman
Thomas, or any other man, nor is it
question Of tariff, either high or
low. But it is question of wheth-
er the proper state authority shall
scatter and dlsperse mob causing a
reign Of terror or whether they shall
stand idly by and permit decent, law
abiding citizens to be blown into
eternity merely because they see fit
to work when another man says they
shall not,

in mob rule-such as Cripple Greek
has experienced for years-they will

P.rker's speech Boiled Down.

As a condensed form OF Parker's
speech Of acceptance the following
is about as good as any yet issued ::
81 am for Tariff reform, but /
couldn't do anything to reform it
during the single ter. l should re
main in Office, because the republi-
can Senate wouldn't let me. am
against the trusts, but 1 think that
there are enough Of anti laws
now and the common law is sufficient
to meet any new requirements; !;
therefore, don't worry over the idea
that would disturb business condi-
tions. As for labor disturbances,
they are all right in one place and
wrong in another; capital is also
right and wrong, therefore, capital
and labor have no reason to worry
over my election. In regard to the
money question, 1 sent a telegram,
