AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS. .
tstauIton Dispatch

That is a pathetic cry that comes
from Africa-"Africa for the Africans. I"
But it comes too late. Africa has been
lost to the Africans, and can never be
regained. The whites have seized that
as they seized the country of the In
dams, and the aboriginal Africans, who
have already lost their inheritance, will
apparently be crowded off the earth.
1t is a pity that humane instincts
could not have left this country to the
natives, and made it possible for ne
groes throughout the world to return
there, and prossess the land of their
ancestors, to work out their destiny.

Commonwealth, aud the Uoited
States as a patiop

Our phenomenal development has
not been confined to material things;
today, in this nation, there are more
schools, more scholars, more teachers
and professors, more 6ne colleges
and splendid universities. and more
money expended for education than
in any nation ia the world. Edu-
cation and learning are here more
generally diffussd than elsew here.
In short time we have created
national literature, which is credit.
able, and which no nation, IN the
same length of time has ever { q ua,led.
We have furnished poets, historians,
novelists and scientists, whose pro-
ductions are read and priced the
world over. Ii is true we have not
yet reached the highest elevation,
but witE time and patience, we will
yet climb the dizziest heights of
learning and genius.
Our moral development has kept
pace with our material and educa-
tional progress. In proportion to
population, no nation can equal us
In the followers of the Christian
religion, or approach the morals of
our people. We surpass all others
in oontributstions to churches, hos
pitals, asylums charitable institutions
and missions. Our wealth and
Christianity have gone hand in hand.
We have national history distinctly
our own, but the best the world has
furnished. Our national heroes can
compare with the men of any time,
or any country. In statesmen, in
jurists, in orators, and in warriors
this nation can rival any nation OF
ancient or moderen times. Our en-
ergy and genius have accomplished
all this within three centuries.
Within that time wilderness has
been transformed into the greatest
and most potential nation in the
world. Well may this nation, next
year give birthday part at James
town and invite all the ma
tions of the world to come and
rejoice with her at her success
and prosperity. Let all the citizens
of this great nation next year
make pilgrimage to jamestown is.
land and there, with reverent hearts,
visit the birthplace of this republic.
The ennobling sentiments that will
be thus inspired will make us give
our common country great patriot
ism and more willing service and
sacrifice. As we ponder the perils
through which we have passed, and
see In all that we have had the sus-
tanning hand of q divine Providence,
it will confirm our strength in our
Christian faith and make US more
determined to meet the responsible
ties as nation in the worlds affairs.
Let us use this opportunity to ex-
hibit our wonderful progress, our
great material resources, aud let us
resolve that the future Virginia shall
be greater and more glorious than
has ever been the Virginia of the
past. A philosopher has we'll said
that great people is a people who
know the past, live in the present
and look forward to the future. Let
us remember with loving sentiment,
enduring faith and tender memories,
the lofty traditions and the high
achievements of the Old Virginia.
Let us live in the present, develop.
ing the resources, utilizing all of our
opportunities for the progress of our
State. Let us, with brave hearts
and strong arms, look forwards to
the future and build still a greater
Commonwealth.

A PROPHECY
THAT CAME TRUE.

In its issue of January 9th, 1901. the
Churchill Standard predicted that
Churchill county would, within two
years, become one OF Nevada's leading
mining counties. At that time, Eagle
vile and IXL Canyon were the only dis
tricts receiving the attention OF the
mining man, and these attentions were
somewhat desultory in their character.
Now after two and half years have
elapsed, we have not only dozens, but
hundreds OF mining properties Of prom
Use, that are headed by the Nevada
Hills mine of Fairyiew, which IS just
now contributing wealth into the lap
of mankind at the rate OF 100000
monthly, which sum promises to be
added to greatly upon further exploita-
ton.
It's strange thing about newspaper
men, because they really do tell the
truth sometimes, but in the face OF the
above, there will be some unkind
enough to say that the truth in this in.
stance was mere accident.

A HORSE WITH
OUT AN OWNER.

a fifty-cent cayuse is without an owner,
ami the circumstances responsible for
this unhappy state OF affairs are per-
haps as eyentful as ever entered into
the lie OF any equine, no matter how
prond Of blood and lineage he may be.
Nevada has thousands OF wild horses
horses that have roamed the deserts
since the Aztec Indian tine, when they
were first known to have been in Amer
lea, and the little ourhundred- pound
cay ise, which figures in this story as
tE5 principal could have had no ances-
tr, worthy OF mention. He grazed un-
disturbed on the Saltwater range of
mountains, until some yaquero in a
spirit OF jest, roped him, and after
teaching him the rudiments OF ciyiliza-
ton, sold him, so the story goes, to one
A. Is. Hittner, then auto driver for DR..
G. NJ. Gardner. No sooner had HIT
ner come into possession of the pony
until Mrs. Z. G. Taylor, OF St. Clair,
through her attorney, B. X. McCabe,
filed writ of replevin, and instituted
suit in the justice court to recover tn e
animal which she alleged, belonged to
her ". S. Wall was employed by HIT
ner and pitted against McCabe in the
legal arena. Arguments were advanced
and ponderous legal lore adduced, until
both the plaintiff and defendant lost
their mental equilibrium. In the mean
time, the horse had been housed in the
greatest comfort ever known to him, at
the Frank Ferguson livery stable, and
the charges accruing amounted to in
the neighborhood of $l2. Both the
plaintiff and defendant, after due retro
spection, refused to pay this sum or
the attorneys fees, and his honor Judge
Black was forced to dismiss the suit and
turn the pony lose on the desert again,
where he now roams, sad faced and
bunny eyed, happy in the remembrance
OF the commotion that he caused in
legal circles.

EIGHT HOURS
NEVADA'S LABOR LAWS TO BE
ENFORCED
One-Third oil Day Is Labor Enough
For Any Man Says Roosevelt

President Roosevelt is determined to
enforce the eight-hour day throughout
the country and Tuesday United States
District Attorney Platt received letter
from VIM. II. Moody. Acknowledgement
OF the United States, stating that the
eQIei executive had directed him to
take up the question OF the "eight- hour
law enforcement with the various dis
triet attorneys, and urging Mr.. Platt to
make a thorough investigation of the
situation in hisjurisdntion. The letter,
after referring to the law in question,
says in part:
THE government IS determined upon
a strict enforcement of this statute, and
you are directed diligently to investi-
gate all complaints which may come to
you from any sources OF violations of
thislaw, and upon your own initiative to
make investigations il there appear to
You to be any reasonable ground for
suspecting violation of this law. In
every case in which you can secure suf-
feient evidence, you will submit that
evidence to the grand jury, with view
To securing an indictment.
Your attention is particularly direct
ed to the exception in the first section
OF the statute under which laborers and
mechanics may be worked more than
eight hours in calendar day 'in case
Of extraordinary emergency In a re-
cent case in the district of Massachu-
sets, Judge Dodge defined that phrase
as follows: An extraordinary emer-
gencY, such as is contemplated by the
Act, Is the sudden, unexpected happen
Ing Of something not of the usual, GUS
temary, or regular kind, demanding
preapt action to avert imminent dan
ger TO life, limb, health or property
The possibility of danger is not enough
The peril must be certain, unusual, i'm
minent, ,.and actual in order to consti-
tute an extraordinary emergency, such
as the statute contemplates.' Judge
Dodge, also, ruled that probable pecun-
iary los to the contractor, unless due
to an extraordinary emergency, as de-
fined above, is only an ordinary bust
ness risk.
:" | desire to impress upon you the
Importance OF using every effort to ex-
ecute these directions; OF being vigi ant
and active in this matter. You will
make prompt and full report to me OF
all eases, and of your action therefor
You will report Immediately the action
Of the grand jury, and the results of all
trials, with specific statement OF the
penalty imposed

A Letter Written By Judge Pike

The following extract from q letter
written by w. II. A. Pike, district judge
elect to Attorney Harry Warren, oil
Winnemucca and printed in the Silver
State, of that city, will be interesting
to Reno and Churchill county people:
Judge Orr and myself have not yet
fully discussed the subject matter Of
one of us taking up a residence in Win
nemucca. OF course, the statute pro-
vides, as you know, that one OF the
Judges shall reside at and hold court in
Winnemucca, and the other shall reside
at and hold court in Reno. That stat
ute was passed at a time when the town
of Fallon was scarcely on the map.
Since the passing OF that statute, the
town of Fallon and the county OF Chur-
chill have gone rapidly to the front, and
at this time there is without question
of doubt at least two or three times
as much litigation in Churchill county
as there is in Humboldt county.
$50 far as | am concerned shall
make it my first endeayor to do my full
duty as one of the district judges oi the
second judicial district, and see to 1t
that all litigation is promptly attended
to. If it becomes necessary under the
law that one of us must reside at Win
nemucca, | shall willingly take my
turn at such residence, but \ seems to
me that Reno is the proper place from
which to transact the business OF the
district. | wish to say to any inqulrlng
citizen OF Winnemucea or Humboldt
county that shall see that court is
held at Winnemucca at least once every
month during my term Of office, and as
much oftener as the business OF the
county requires

DiamOndfield Jack Davis Interested In
Wonder.

Jack Davis, of Goldfeld, better known
as "Diamondfeld Jack" spent Wedne.-
day in Fallon, perfecting preliminary
arrangements for the Incorporation Of
mining company, which shall own as
its chief asset, group of claims in
Wonder, adjoining the Wonder group
of claims, of which SO much is being
said. Mr.. Davis left for Goldfield on
the same day, and upon his arrival
there will perfect the final arrangements
of his corporation.
Mr.. Davis states that hc had already
put on a force o. men on the develop
ment work, but that there was a marked
shortage in labor, in not only the min
ing camps of this county, but in the
southern camps as we'll, and that this
fact seriously hampered mining ona7e
tions OF the state. Nevada wages are
as good as the best, but Mr.. Davis at
tributes the shortage of workingmen
to the fact that as soon as a grubstake
is secured, the miner quits his job and
treks to the hills to find a mine oil his
own. There is no other place undertle
sun, where poor men have the chance in
developing a mine, that they do in
