Another Step in Richmond Railway
Litigation.

Judge Edmund Wsddill, ir.. in the L
:. Circuit court at Richmond, Ssturde!
GRANTED the petition Of the metropolitan
Trust Company, Of New York, for per
mission to cue the receivers OF the Nr

We are told that the leading chem
lists are now investigating the ques-
tion OF the manufacture OF a substi-
tute for coal oil, which can be made
at much cheaper rate than the coal
oil can be put upon the market
and which will have greater illumi-
mating power than coal oil. And
while success has not yet been at
tanned, those at work on 1t feel very
much encouraged at the results so
far obtained. 1t is believed that
should these chemists succeed their
production will take the place OF coal
oil because of its cheapness and su-
perior Illuminating power, and that
the other Illuminating devices, in
GLIDING gas and the incandescent
light, will have to take a back seat.
Good and cheap light is what the
masses want, and we hope they may
succeed in getting it.

The days of absolute monarchy as
to the civilized nations OF this earth
are numbered. The people OF Russia
have demanded sconstitutionalgov'
eminent, limiting the powers OF their
ruler and prescribing certain inalien-
able rights for themselves. The time
they have chosen for the consumma-
ton of this great change in the gov
eminent of the Russian Empire is
most opportune. The Car is sand
to have entertained the representa-
tives of the people in conference with
a view. at least. of considering their
demands, and that some concessions
will be made, there can be no doubt.
Stress of a foreign war, which at
best taxes the loyalty OF the citizen
ship OF any country, will be a great
factor in favor OF the demand OF the
people OF Russia. The Gar must
realize that in order to inspire 10y
atty and patriotism to its full capac-
ity and extent, the people must have
q voice in their own government
That this is an essential to true de-
votion to country, and that no
great war can be long waged OF
sOldiery inspired by fear rather than
OF love, and forced like dumb, driven
cattle to do the bidding OF one man,
Russia has learned TO her sorrow.
The time for this appeal is there
fore particularly opportune, and the
enlightened sentiment OF civilization
Is behind the movement. The cOndi-
ton OF the masses OF the Russian
people has excited the sympathy OF
the civilized world, and ii she great
war in the far east is to accomplish
nothing more for Russia than the
alienation OF tha5 condition, it will
have been blessing in disguise.

claimed to have been drugged outside the
Worlds Fair grounds and shipped to
Kansas City, where he awoke alone in @
deserted house and penniless.

Eat a meeting of the Benjamin Franklin

Mr.. Carnegie for his offer, and decided
to give the matter early consideration
A committee was appointed to study the
question of what can be done with the
Franklin fund in the way of establishing
an institution along the lines of the
Cooper Union. In his letter to President
Pritchett, Mr.. Carnegie said: Il am a
trustee of both schools mentioned and
do not hesitate to say that, TO the best
of my knowledge, no money has pro-
duced more valuable results. l think it
is from the class who not only spend
laborious nights fitting themselves for

A SQUEAK FROM THE GAZETTE.

A SQUEAK FROM THE GAZETTE.
The Reno Gazette, whose present editor
is a young man from the classic precincts
of Alameda, California, and one who
knows about as much about Nevada as
the Spanish fleet did about getting away
the war with Spain, has an editorial in
last Fridays paper heade Cheer up,
Brother Bragg The article is in reply
to a short note that appeared in the Sill
yer State a few lays ago discussing the
late Washoe county's Grand Jury report.
Mr.. Morgan says Morgan is the name OF
the man who controls the destiny of the
Gazette, editorially, at present. that the
Silver State ''squeezes out a little credit
for the Grand Jury's vigorous report for
the Nevada Observer The influence OF
the Gazette, under it's present manage
ment is not as long as a railroad nof
as wide as a barn door," but no weaker,
perhaps, than might be expected, every
thing considered. The Silver State could
not give the Gazette credit for influencing
the Grand Jury or anything else. 1t
makes a stagger at taking a stand
but If any of it's readers can tell which
side of any question it is on the Silver
State will present the man who makes
the discovery with a chrome of a man
catching a trout from the waters of the
Truckee with a grab-hook.
The Gazette says in part:
There is no need of getting excited.
Brother Bragg, over things which are
going on so far from your present baili-
wick. However, we know that your mo-
tives are good. even though over zeal
often defeats your righteous aspirations.
We also realize that nearly everything in
your article about Washoe Is true.
THE situation is just this; The people
of Reno realize fully as keenly as any
body a couple of hundred miles away that
this city and county lave not yet evolved
