Declared a Dividend.

The Nye Il Ormsby County bank is
starting out with flying colors. AT
a meeting held a few days ago the
bank directors declared a dividend of
80 per share, or at the rate of ~
per cent a year. When it is consid-
cred that a new building has been
erected, new fixtures purchased and
scarcely six months old, it is a great
showing. The new bank is doing
business and its exchange extends
from n corner of the earth to the
other. There IS evidently room for
this sound institution in this city as
is shown by the action Of the direc-
tors. Carson Weekly.

Nixon on Tonopah.

On his arrival in Reno after at
tending the celebration of the open.
ing OF the Tonopah railroad, Hon.
Geo. >. Nixon vas interviewed by
the Reno Evening Gazette, and stated
among other things that the marvel
Gus mining camp of Tonopah with its
near %neighbor, Goldfield, is certain to
change the current of prosperity in
thls state to full tide, causing Nevada
from now on to take first rank among
all the mining states, that the com
pietion of the railroad meant for
Nevada a glorious awakening from
the lethargy of the past quarter of a
century and was the herald of the
commencement of the real history of
the coming greatness of this state.
The sixty miles of railroad from
Rhodes to Tonopah, and which within
a brief while will be continued on TO
Goldield, means the unlocking of the
treasures of a mineral belt, perhaps
the richest ever discovered upon the
American continent. From now on
there will be a steady stream Of ore
shipped from that district, the mint
age OF which will be felt in every
avenue Of trade, to stimulate pro
perlty in the west and especially of
Nevada to an unexampled degree.
Every mining nan whose judgment
IS worth anything, who has taken the
opportunity to visit the underground
workings of the various mines. ex-
presses but n opinion, namely, that
nowhere, not even in California, Col
orado, Montana, Alaska, Australia
or South Africa, with the same
amount of development work have
they ever seen so much ore as is now
visible in this district and moreover
nowhere ore OF such phenomenal
values. 1t is beyond computation.
and if one were to put down in black
and white whatin his sober judgment
he believes this district will produce
he would at once be discredited by
everyone outside Of the district itself.

This has always been the policy of
Russia in Asia, and it explains why
she holds her vast Oriental conquests
with such apparent ease and is less
troubled by rebellions than any. other
great power holding sway over a null
fitude of subject races.
When the Russians gripped Manchu-
ria, nearly 5000 Cinnamon persisted in
the terrible massacre at BlaSoyest-
chensk- In the grim euphemism OF
one Of the Cars generals, "rhey went
away" But so indulgent were the au-
thorities after the massacre that in n
few months all the Chinese merchants
who had fed from the town, never ex-
pecting TO return. were back doing
business at their old stands, and many
more had hocked in to compete with
them under the protection of the just
Laws and paternal government OF the
Russians.
The atrocities committed by the Rus
sian troops during the Pelxin cam
paign, and after, shocked the civilized
world; but they did not shock the Chi
nese or antagonize the Chinese govern
ment. The Chinese do not resent the
brutality Of the Russ as they resent
fRr milder punishment at the hands OF
other nations. In that respect they
resemble other Asiatics who have felt
the scourge of the Cars legions.

Russians. They are fond of giving a
Russian twist to their names as soon
as they enter the Cars service.

Germans declared that no protection
could be given to Chinese, whether
they had been implicated in the attack
on the legations or not; the Russians
protected them. When the Russians
left Pekin, the Germans occupied their
quarter of the city. Immediately this
happened all the Chinese who had set
tied there scampered off into the ada
cent Japanese quarter They had
felt they were safe under the Russians,
but they would not trust the Ger
mans. Yet both the Russians and the
Japanese had been guilty of slaughter
ing defenceless Cinnamon to a degree
unequalled by the Germans, or any
other foreign soldiers-the Russians in
that very campaign, the japanese in
the Chino-Japenese War.
Kill me in time of war;" says the
Asiatic That's all right. I expect
it. unless 1 can kill you. But in time
of peace let me live in my own way,
and treat me as a man and a brother"
Russia comedies this demand as no
other Western nation does. That is
why there is no Nihilism in Asiatic
Russia. There would be little excuse
for it, since the Cars Oriental sub
jects are treated infinitely better than
those in Europe.
Gen. Soboleff, famous Russian SOL
der, compared English and Russian
administration in Asia in an article
which he wrote for THE Russ" in
January 1885. His views were, of
course, prejudiced, but they were in
teresting.
England lays a heavy hand on her
dependent peoples" he said. "She re-
duces them to a state of slavery, only
that English trade may profit and
Englishmen grow rich. The deaths
of millions in India from starvation
have been caused indirectly by Eng
fish despotism. And then the press
of England disseminates far an wide
the idea of Russia being a country
of barbarians. Thousands of natives
in India only await Russia's crusade
of deliverance!
IF Englishmen would only throw
aside their misplaced pride, and study

Why, he could not even command a
company! He might become an off,
Ger in name, but practically he would
be subordinate to the rawest English
subaltern, although he were the gray
bearded veteran of a dozen wars.
1.-THE English gain the hatred of
Asiatics by treating them like chill
dren; the Germans use the sword first,
and then the whip, never letting the
people down at all: the French colo
MES in Asia are hells paved with good
intentions; the Dutch in Java are
greedy and tyrannical. The Russians
alone know how to handle Asiatics
properly and obtain the best results
from conquering them. That is why
we have been able to march right
across the continent from the Urals
and the Caucasus to the shores of the
Pacific. We conquer, and then we
make the people glad they were con-
quered.

Far East, many Asiatics will hold

Foreigners are surprised at the

Makdum Kuli, warrior chieftain, was
the heart and soul of the defense of
Geek Tepe in the Turcoman campaign
of the early eighties. The ashes of
Geek Tepe had hardly grown cold, the
bodies of thousands of his massacred
tribesmen were still unburied, when
Makdum Kuli was visited by a Rus
sian secret agent, who found him in
the midst of the army he had rallied
fer another stand against the Russian
invaders. This agent persuaded him to
give in and go to Russia as the guest
of the Gear, whose coronation was
then due at Moscow.
1.-THE untutored Turcoman chief
tain" said an Englishman who met
Makdum Kuli at that city, was the
honored guest at the coronation fes-
tivities. Greater attention was paid
to him than to European kings and
princes. 1t was a master stroke of
policy. When he got back to his own
country and told Of the wonderful
sights he had seen, OF all the -Sower
and splendor of Russia, there was no
more talk of fighting. His account of
the size of the Russian army convert
ed the war party, but far more potent
were the handsome Russian uniform
he wore and the stories he told of the
favors conferred upon him by the
Great White Car. All the other Tur-
conan chieftains became keenly anx-
ious to make the acquaintance Of such
a generous master"
1t is a familiar story to students Of
Russian conquest. Schamyl was the
foremost foe of Russia in the Caucasus
for a generation. To-day Schamyls
sons are officers in the Russian army,
treated with especial honor by the

ing it with their own, they would
soon see plainly why the name of Rus
STA has such prestige in Asia, and why
the natives of Inlia hate the dominion
of England and set their hopes Of
freedom upon Russia.
Russia gives full liberty to native
manners, and not only does not over
burden her subjects with fresh taxes,
but even allows them exemptions and
privileges of a most extensive char
acter. England, on the contrary, is
a vampire, sucking the last drop of
blood out of India"
Russia suffers no permanent drain
upon her military resources by reason
of her conquests. On the contrary,
she can be taught nothing in the art
of raising native levies and making
them loyal. She can raise, and does
raise, far greater number of SOL
diers from her Asiatic provinces than
she needs in order to garrison them.
