GoRh'AN TRIES TO KILL NEA7S7
New York Congressman 2eta!iatas by
Opposing Senator'S Plans.

WASHINGTON. .. G. Jan. l9.-Scn-
ator German realizes the magnitude OF
Hearsts boom for the democratic nom
nation for the presidency. E'Cr months
past Marylands master statesman has
followed with evident concern the
growing popularity OF the New York
congressman.
At the recent meeting of the demo-
cratic national committee German eT-
erted his influence IN securing for St.
Louis, tie democratic convention, thus
thwarting the plans Of Hearst. Who
urged the selection of Chicago Tor the
distinct advantage that il would no
doubt give him before the delegation.
Hearst now proposes to antagoniZa
the pet scheme Of German. The con-
advocates the prompt ratircaIion of
the Panama treaty. Hitherto, these
Journals have favored the Nicara qua
route and have supported German in
his attempts to defeat the Panama
treaty.
Almost q dozen members Oh the den-
ocratic national committee are now in
either Washington or New York. These
think Bryan Will support Hearst. AT
least they believe that Bryan VIII de-
mand that Hearst be recognized by
Tammany.
Leaders of Tammany profess TO
think that by this means Hearst will
secure either the vice presidency nomi-
nation or the New York gubernatorlal
nomination if he fails to get the first
place on the national ticket.
Prominent democrats say that d
combination between Bryan ana Hearst
could control third of the dele
gates at the St. Louis convention, ana
such strength would, of course, com
mand serious consideration.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-12-21
AN UNJUST LAW.

The Appeal put in a bill to the
State for printing and mailing over
10000 copies of the paper containing
the Constitutional Amendments to the
voters of the State. The bill was
something over $500 and on the ad-
vice Of Attorney General Sweeney the
bill was rejected.
At first glance it seems rather hard
on the newspaper but the legal stand
taken by the Attorney General is
sound law
Section 1850 provides that the State
Board of Examiners shall publish the
Constitutional Amendments in daily
newspaper published in the State and
that the publisher shall print and mail
as many extra copies as there were
registered voters in the State in 1886
and it further provides that the print
ing and mailing of the extra copies
under this act will be done without
expense to othe State
Why such an absurd law was ever
placed on the statute books is mys-
terry but it is there and it simply COM
pels a publisher to go to a big ex-
penses to serve the State and get no
pay for his work The News believes
this sort of legislation is a rank in
Justice, but as the law stands even 4
relief bill would hardly be able to pass
muster under the circumstances
News
While the above decision of the
Board of Examiners is a little rough
on the Appeal we are fully convince
that the law leaves no other alterna
tive. The section quoted by the
Attorney General reads plainly enous-
that the publisher shall print and mai
the extra copies without expense Il
the State" That is the plain Englisi
of it and the Appeal can only comment
the Attorney General and Governor TO
rejecting the bill.
The Appeal will further state tina
there will be no relief bill put befor
the legislature, for the work. 1t Wi!
simply be charged up to profit an
loss and that will be the end of It.
Meanwhile it might not be too nue.
to ask the next legislature to s.
amend the law that in future, news
paper circulating several thousan
copies to place the amendments be
fore the people, shall be above
enough out of it to pay for the paper
press work and postage
1t is not likely that the amendmen.
will ever again be placed before tn
people, as the law directs, unless TIL
matter is attended to.

The Paris Of Siberia.

Harry de Windt. the explorer, writes
thus of lrlutSk, which he calls the
Paris of Siberia: "t is an unfinished,
slipshod city, a strange mixture Of
squalor and grandeur, with tortuous.
i'll paved streets, where the wayfarer
looks instinctively for the no thor
oughfare' board. There is one long
struggling main street with fairly good
shops and buildings, but beyond this
Irkutsk remains much the same dull,
dreary looking place that l remember
in the early nlneties before the railway
had aroused the town from its slumber
Of centuries. Even now the place is
absolutely primitive and uncivilized
from Il European point of view, and
the yellow Chinese and beady eyed
Tartars who thrOng the business QUAR-
ter are quite in keeping with the orien-
tai filth around, unredeemed by the
usual eastern color and romance. On
fine mornings the market place pre-
sents a curious and interesting appear
ance. for here you may see the Celes-
tial in flowery silk elbowing the fur
clad Yakute and Bokhara shaking
hands With Japan"

The Silver Leaf Cure.

According to the Paris papers, the
have hit upon a new meth
Cd Of treating wounds. A sheet Of
silver or silver leaf is all that is neces-
sary. The silver is sin;ly placed on
the wound or ulcer. and as it sticks
closely to the surface little cotton
soaked in collodion is sufficient to
keep 1t In place. The effects Of this
sheet of silver are very remarkable.
Where the wound is recent one and
not contaminated with microbes the
wound quickly heals under the influ-
ence of the silver without intlamma-
ton or suppuration and without pre-
senting the slightest bad symptom.
Conditions are just as favorable in
cases of ulcers-chronic ulcer of the
leg, for eXample-in which case the
suppuration decreases little by little,
while the liberated surface gradually
becomes covered with healthy skin,
which soon produces good cicatrice
in place Of the ULCER. This is said to
be due to the remarkable antiseptic
qualities Of the metal.
