Who Ia Going to Pa Up?
National politics in Nevada have al
ways been a question of dollars and
cents, and now Governor Sparks, the
highest official within our State, admits
that the powers that be still rule that
he who aspires to wear the toga shall be
chosen. not according to his ability and
character. but rather by the standard
affixed by Messrs. Dun g. Bradstreet's
One of the reasons given by Col. G.
A. Hopkins of S~earchlight for declining
to become the Republican candidate to
succeed Senator Stewart was that he
would consider a purchased seat in the
Senate a disgrace rather than an honor.
No one will deny that the office
should be filed by a man of unquestion-
able honor and ability, then why not
make it possible tor such men to enter
the race ?-Lincoln County Searchlight.

Mr. Mellen. the former President OF
the Northern Pacific Railway, has an
effective and lucid style of expressing
his practical views. He recently adj
dressed the Workingmen's Club Of
Hartford and declared himself in favor
of Unions, and in discussing the subject
he said
.sTo those of you who belong to
Unions wish to say l believe they have
done much good. but they are, never
theless. not an unmixed blessing to the
laboring man. They are a good thing
for the drone, the inefficient man, for
the walking delegate and the officers,
but are unnecessary for the man who
has the stuff and courage within him.
self to carve his own way in the world.
Therefore, when / say Unions do much
good, I mean they help the lame, the
halt and the weary at the expense of the
competent. Divested of all claptrap,
the Union is simply a means of averag-
ing wages, and an employer views 1t as
such. 1t is a device for making those
who are willing to work care for those
who want to soldier l regard the
Unions as a condition that has come to
stay. have no prejudice whatever to
properly conducted ones, and express
my wish that our men generally would
Join them, not that l would a Union
plant as such, for l would not coerce my
men nor consent to discrimination as
between those who were and who were
not members, but / would wish to have
in the Unions the conservative influence
of many of the good men who are out,
to counterfeit the foater, the anarchist,
the man who has nothing at stake in
the world, who works with his mouth
more than his hands"

says Plans are being perfected in this
city for the consolidation of the inter-

factor. and the Butte & Plumas Rail-
road and the Indian Valley Road, repre-
sented by H. Fl. Yard. 1t has developed
that Yard and Bartnett, who for a num-
Der of months apparently were fighting
each other, were in reality working for
the Gould interests.
The engineering chiefs of the Western
Pacific transcontinental project have
decided to abandon the idea of securing
an exit from California by way of Beck
with Pass, but will take a route through
the Sierras by way of Fredonia
Pass in Lassen County. This decision
was arrived at only a few days ago.
1t is the plan of the promoters of the
new road to tunnel under the pass to a
distance of about 1000 feet. by which

grade and distance. 1t was also learned
yesterday that construction operations
along the rou will begin inside of three
months. Important changes have yet
to be made in the survey of the route
through Nevada, but in the mean time
it is the intention to start grading crews
at work on this end of the line and to
undertake some of the ~tunneling.
E. J. Yard is working directly for the
Goulds, a fact which the engineers of
both the Western Pacific and the Butte
& Plumas Railroads, who were long
kept in ignorance as to who was really
behind the undertakings. have lately
learned.

DR.. Thoma as a Candidate.

DR.. G. H. Thoma filed a petition in
Reno last week announcing his candi-
dacy for School Trustee for short term.
There was q misunderstanding as to
whether the petition had been filed ON
time. 1t was ruled at the time that it
had not. Monday morning Judge Curler
decided that the time limit had not
elasped and that DR.. Thomas name
should be given a place ON the ticket.
At that time the ballots had been printed
and the judge at the polling place re-
fused to allow his name t. be written
on the tickets. Notwithstanding this
the physician received sixteen votes,
which were thrown out.
