NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

We congratulate the people of the State OF Ne
vada upon the passage of the national irrigation
law which will ultimately reclaim the arid lands
of the West and which will within a few years
transform the desert wastes of Nevada into fruit
ful homesteads We assert that the attempt to
steal the credit of this great act for man is
travesty fact and justice. To thousands of
western citizens who have agitated this subj ect,
to the western Senators and Congressman who
for twenty-five years have persistently urged and
fought for irrigation legislation, and to the engi-
neers who have measured the western streams
which thread the mountains and deserts to learn
the possibilities of storage and reclamation we
give due and generous credit and the fullness of
our gratitude But above all we declare that the
ringing and insistent recommendation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt that Congress consider this sub
ject responsible for the crystalization OF all
theories and plans into the bill known as the
National Irrigation Law, which was framed and
agreed to by all western Senators and Congress
men. and introduced simultaneously in the Senate
and House and which would have failed i'll the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt finally
brought his great influence to bear to secure its

iSTHMIAN CANAL.

We joice in the requirement by the United
States of sufficient sthmian territory upon which
to excavate construct and operate commercial
canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans en-
tirey regulated and controlled by the govern
ment of the United States and which will greatly
promote the industrial development of all sec
tions of the Pacific Coast and we especially re-
gret that Senator Francis G. Newlands so far for
got the substantial interests of the State of Neva-
da as to interpose his vote in the Senate of the
United States against the ratification of the treaty
between the United States and the Republic OF
Panama in vain attempt to interdct the build
ing of such canal.

PLATFORM.

The Republican party of Nevada, ip State Con-
vention assembled, reaffirms its adherence to the
principles of Republicanism as expressed in the
national platform and wrought into the govern
ment of the nation from Abraham Lincoln to
Theodore Roosevelt. The history OF republican,
ism is the party mightiest platform. Endorsing
the nominees of the national convention, we af-
firm that man in public or private life IN this
country is more fitted in honesty daring uncom-
promising independence, steadfast i'll what he
believes to be right and sound Judgment to guide
the American people i'll the fuhlment of their
destiny the next four years than Theodore Roose
welt, the statesman in peace, the hero i'll war, the
westerner always, and the Republican nominee
for President of the United States
We respectfully suggest to the voters OF Neva-
da that Alton Brooks ParkeR is too closely allied
with the selfish corporate and monied institutions
of Wall street and the lawless and predatory mo-
nopolstic trusts of the country to qualify him for
the discharge of the duties of the Office for which
the Democratic party of the United States has
selected him, and that no language which we can
frame more aptly illustrates his dsqualifcations
than that freely and publicly employed by w. J..
Bryan, w. r Hearst and other leading men CON
spicuously prominent in the environment of the
Democratic presidential nominee were subject to
free and untranmeled discussion

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

We submit the labor record of the Republican
party against the professions of Democracy Re-
publicanism has built up tariff wall about this
country which gives the American markets to the
products of American labor 1t has in every
State where in power enacted legislation tavoring
shorter hours and sanitary conditions for labor,
prohibited child labor, and passed stringent laws
for the safeguarding of the life and limb OF enn-
ployes. II has, under Theodore Roosevelt, as i'll
the coal strike, substituted arbitration for the
bullet and bayonet of the last Democratic admin
istraton in its settlemInt of the Pullman strike
Promising little, performing much, it has been
the true and tried friend of both capital and la
bor whom it holds equal and concordant parts
of the nations industrial economy. The Repub-
lican party will not support capital in oppression
nor labor in violence. 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity of industrial action striving to
secure more equitable distribution OF the fruits

UNITED STATES sENAToRsHIP.

We congratulate the people of Nevada upon the
awakening of her prosperity ill field and mine
and that the hour is struck which closes quar-
ter of century of State depression. That the
dawn has begun os wherein this COM
monwealth is destined to take high rank in agri-
culture, the industries and mining. New leaders
are called for to represent in Congress this new
spirit of State development. For the Senate of
the United States the Republican party presents
the name of Hon. George ), Nixon, as an able,
true and loyal citizen worthy of such choice, IA
miliar with and interested in the varied indus
tries of our State, and who is the first candidate
for that supreme Office presented by Nevada
convention in the past twenty years who is bona
fide resident and citizen of Nevada, and pledges
the efforts of the Republican party to use all hon
orable means, and the votes of its members in
the State Legislature to secure his election.

TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Recognizing the fact that many of the most pat
riotic and progressive cttizeus OF the state Aof
Nevada have for several years past cast their bals
lots against the Republican ticket because of their
disbelief in the financial views OF the national
Republican party, although being in accord with
it upon all other principles of party policy we
now, view of the fact that there is no issue be-
tween the national parties upon the subject of
finance cordially invite all such fellow citizens to
renew their political fellowship with and to
share with in the glories of certain victory
at the coming general election

City Attorney Says the City Mar
shall Shall Take all Prison.
erS TO New Brunswick.
QUESTION is SETTLED.
Much Interest Has Been Aroused by Con-
stable Feltier's Bill Which He Present
ed to the City for Test-It was Signed
and Paid-Mayor Requested, However,
that City Marshal do the Work.

City Attorney @. @. Hommann,
this morning, gave Recorder Pickers-
gill is opinion in tie muddle be-
tween the constabl es and the city
marshal in regard to the right to take
disorderly and other persons COM
mi tied by the recorder, to the county
Jail His opinion, which he said he
would put In writing, is that, when
the city marshal, paid by the city, is
at hand or within call, the recorder
cannot legally put the commitment
into the hands of constable. This
is understood to hold, even when the
arrest has been made by the uniform
ed officers.
For some time the constables have
claimed an equal share of the patron
age IN taking prisoners to Jail, esDec-
tally those whom they have arrested.
To test this, Constable Peltier took
a prisoner to Jail aud pres his
bill for 80. 80 to the city. The council
ordered it paid. Mayor Seaman signed
the warrant, but in SO doing asked the
recorder to give the prisoner into the
hands of the city marshal or a police
man, hereafter. The recorder asked
for an opinion from the city attorney.
