GOOD GOVERNMENT IN NEVADA

Republican rule in Nevada ended
twelve years ago when Governor
Colcord went out of Office. From Jaa
nary /. 1895, down to the present
time the state government has been
in the hands of the Silver and Dem
ocratic parties under the successive
administrations of John E. Jones,
Reinhold Sadler and John Sparks.
What is the record Of the admins
tration? How has it managed the
business of the State? What new
policies has ii established These
are pertinent questions that should be
discussed al this time when the v0J-

ness alone, however, that New York
gave evidence of the most prosperous
year in her existence. In every
branch of trade, both domestic and
foreign, new records undoubtedly will
have been made when the present year
comes to an end. Present indications
point to a tremendous increase in the
foreign commerce of the port. The es-
Inmates based upon the business of the
first eleven month of the year makes
it appear almost certain that New
York's foreign commerce for the year
will reach the astounding total of fif-
teen hundred million dollars. This
will be clear gain of more than one
hundred million dollars over 1905. The
expansion of trade at the port of
New York in the past decade is string
ingly set forth by comparative table
of statistics which has been prepared
at the local Customs House. 1t is
shown that in the first eleven months
of 1896 the imports at New York were
valued at s4OO,977,371, while for the
corresponding period of 1906 the en-
tries were s710,31S.46S. In eleven
months of 1896 domestic merchandise
sent abroad had value of $33O,302,-
1856 compared with 1851 ,Os9,467 in the
period ended Dec. last.
In all the estimates shown above
no figures are included dealing with
the volume of foreign merchandise
passing throught this port. 1t Is esti-
mated that business of this class will
add fully $10,OOO,OOO to the years to-
tai. Trans-shipments at the port for

New York, N. Y, Dec. 31.-That the
remarkable Santa Claus commerce was
not confined to New York alone was
shown by the tremendous quantity of
mail handled at the General Post Of
flee here during the five days immed
lately preceding the great winter holi-
hundred million pieces of mail matter
were received and dispatched. Near
ly one quarter of this immense num-
Der were packages. Hundreds of men,
working night and day, were practical
ly buried under the great showers of
ings. From every section of the coun-
try they came in flood such as never
was witnessed before-mute but at
the same time eloquent reminders of
the most prosperous and generally OBJ
served Christmas season America has
ever known. The lands beyond the
seas, too, contributed more than
their share. In the four days before
Christmas six great ocean mail steam
ships brought 10000 pouches of let
ters and packages from Europe. This
is an increase of 80 per cent over the
corresponding four lays of last year,
the receipts in that period aggregat-
ing $500 bags. The steamship Ma
iestic alone brought 1900 pouches.
These are not included in the four

Washington, D. c., Dec. 31.-The
bureau of insular affairs today MADE
known the fact that more stenogra-
piers are needed in Philippine service.
The list of eligibles has become ex-
hausted and another examination will
be held Jan. %, by the civil service
commission.
General Clarence Edwards, chief Of
bureau, said today that one of the no.
ticeable results of the workings of the
civil service system in the Philippines
has been the advancement of young
men originally appointed after passing
the stenographer examination, who
have demonstrated their ability and
worked their way up. The position at
first pays $1,000 per annum.

which is to go into effect on that

those who framed it. Ignorance will
not be tolerated as an excuse for viol-

not familiar with its provisions it is
not the fault of the government For
weeks the Agricultural department has
been busy mailing the new regulations
to those interested in the new law.
The main provisions of the law
have been discussed so much since
the measure was enacted last spring
as to have become generally familiar

adulteration affect all drugs and medi-
cine as we'll as food articles.
The Government is preparing for
the strictest enforcement of the law.
Federal inspectors will be kept busy
buying samples in the open market to
be tested and analyzed. The only way
the retail dealer can hope to escape

to show that the manufacturer or

the regulations. Then it will be up

SURANCE LAWS BECOME OPERATIVE 7OMOF

New York, Dec. 31.-The year just
closing has been anything but rosy
one for the life insurance agent. But
this, the final day, is the saddest of
them all. 1t marks the end of the
high commissions era. Tomorrow
many of the most important of the
life insurance reforms enacted by the
legislature following the report of the
Armstrong investigation committee
will become operative.
The most important of the new
laws, at least from the agents point
of view, is that limiting the amount
Of money a company may spend to
acquire new business. This law will
affect the various companies different

pretty much the same all along the

In other words, where an agent has
been getting 80 per cent for bringing

new law 60 to 65 per cent. His inter-

premiums is also curtailed. In some
of the smaller companies the agents
