A TonOpah Railroad.

The Daily Nevada State Journal of
the 10th inst. publishes a dispatch
from Trenton n. ]. announcing the in
corporation of the Tonopah and Tide
water Railroad with a capital of ST.
900, 600. This is the road now being
graded by F. NJ. Smith, the Borax
king, who is also heavily interested
in the West End Mining company Of
Tonopah, the Realty Syndicate OF
Oakland Cal. and whose Borax com
pany controls the output of the
world. For many months past Mr..
Smith has been grading a road from
Ivanpah, a station on the Vander-
bilt road that runs into Marvel, San
Bernardiuo county, Cal, north to the
Borax mines in Death Valley and il
has now nearly reached Furnace
Creek, and could easily be continued
to Goldfeld, giving communication
direct with the Santa Fe; no rail:
have yet been laid, the width of the
grade is sufficient for a standard
gauge road.

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
RAILROAD DAY.

AS the day set for the celebration
of the opening Of the Tonopah Rail
road approaches, a great and increas-
ing interest in the event is noticeable.
Already visitors are beginning to ar
rive, and it is more than probable
that the transportation facilities of
road will be taxed to the utmost and
sleeping accommodations in Tonopah
will be at a premium.
The large number of invitations
sent out BY the Tonopah railroad
have been eagerly accepted and
newspapers aud journals all over the
country are sending representatives
to the camp, the advance guard of
which are already arriving, who will
transmit Geographic dispatches of
this important event. Tonopah viii
be ready to welcome her guests. The
various committees in charge of the
celebration have done well, and the
complete program to be carried out
in the three days will be found in an
other column. In the meantime the
streets have been gaily decorated
with flags and trees and a handsome
band stand erected on main street,
while at night additional electric
lights will add to the gala appear
ance Of the camp. Everything points
to this celebration being the mos
splendid ever held in the state of Ne
vada. The oft-time quoted hospital
ity of the camp will on this occasion
be excelled, and visitors and citizen

We shall miss from the columns of

which depicted the trusts as squeez-

That is, we presume we shall, as W..
R. Hearst has declared his intention
of supporting the nominees of the
Democratic National convention,
Alton B. Parker an6 H. G. Davis.
These gentlemen, n of whom was
put forward by the monied men OF

Oil company, would surely be dis
pleased if Mr.. Hearst was to continue

The fear that the Russo Japanese
war would eventually involve some
other European nation seems more
probable now since the action of Rus
STA in taking prisoner a British mail
steamer. This is in itself an act of
war and the audacity Of Russia in
sending the vessel back through the
Suez canal, which is practically Brit
ish property, has astonished Europe
and is likely TO lead to most serious
complications.

to make a sentence in which the

Think oft The manufactur- CTS of agricultural implements are today selling implements in South America and Australia to the competitors of the American farmer cheaper-yes, cheaper, mind you-tban he can buy them at the door of the factory which makes in this country. It does not make the crime any less to be robbed by your neighbor or your best friend. It is rob bery, injustice and an outrage, and the question is, how much longer will the American con sumer stand for such treatment.

Millionaire $ Poor Stomach.

The worn out stomach of the over-fed millionaire is often parad ed in tbe public prints asa hor- rible example of the evils attend ant on the possession O great wealth. But miIlionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomaches. The propor- ton is far greater among the toll. CTS. Dyspepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people. and they suffer far worse tortures than the millionaire unless they avail themselves of standard medicine like Greens August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty-hve years. August Flower rousos the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and insuring perfect digestion. It tones and vitalizes the entire sys- tenn and makes life worth living, no matter what your station.

To show how our Governor stands outside of the State. the Memphis Commercial-Appeal has the following item about him:
 "Governor Davis is pursuing a dangerous course when he at tempts to stifle freedom of thought and freedom of action among the employees of the various public in in his State. By using his power to force six professors out of the State University just be- cause they did not vote for him he has established q precedent which is pernicious, and the ultimate eff feet of 1t will De to degrade the standing of the University and prevent self-respecting men and women from accepting positions in it. No man Is fit to instruct young men and women who is not independent in his convictions. and the Davis policy is an adver- tisement to men of character and courage that they are not wanted in the institutions Of Arkansas. :"

ROOSEVELT AK ACCIDENT.


 "There are times when great fitness Is hardly less than desti- n.y. said ex-Gov. Black of New York, in nominating Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago; when the clements so come together that they select the agent they will use. Events sometimes SC lect the strongest man, as light ming goes down the highest rod.
 We might we'll thank Mir. Black for that comparison. The coming of the presidency to The odore Roosevelt was much like the dartine of a stroke of light ming down from the unseareha- ble depths of the heavens.
 When the Republican national convention met at Philadelphia in 1900 Roosevelt was nominat- cd for vice president against his will, for he wanted to run for q second term as governor of New York And he was nominated as a result of the cross currents caused by tie contending oi Hanna and Platt. The turn of a hand, and Lieutenant Govern or Timothy Woodruff of New York would have been named for vice president and been pres ident today instead of Theodore Roosevelt.
 It was thought that the apocryphal stories about Roose- welt charging np San Juan hill at the head of the Rough Riders, together with what remained oi  the Spanish war enthusiasm, would win votes for the Repub- lican national ticket. He was elected vice president, and the accident of the death Of McKin- ley made him president
 II the lightning had not struck Theodore Roosevelt at Philadel- phia in 1900 We doubt that he ever would have been president of the United States. He is one of the greatest accidents of mod ern times.-Gazette.

"A little negro boy on the shoulders of a stalwart Republi- can parading around the con vention hall, followed by a little white girl on the shoulders of a stalwart Republican was the in- spring sight in the Chicago Re. publican Convention that creat- ed a wild enthusiasm, said Col. Nj. W. Connolly. President ot the Shelby County Cleveland Club. 1t was the continuation of Rooseveltism as manifested in the Booker Washington incl dent, in the Indianola incident, in the Dr. Crum incident. It meant more than anything ex- pressed in the platform. It was an objective and physical mani festation of social equality. 1t was a challenge to the South and the gage of battle must be accepted, because 1t cannot be avoided. It was, as far as he South is concerned. the issue, the paramount and all-absorb- ing issue. Other sections where the race question is not felt or understood as it is here may differ and debate oyer policies and principles; the south is con eerned only with a defense of it's civilization and the supremacy of the white race.
