DAVIS FOR GOVERNOR IS THE latest
FUSOCRATIC DOPE

This fact is not going to create any un-
usual harmony in the Democratic ranks
this year.
"The fusion of a few weeks ago n
your city was one of those farces in
which Democrats seem to find it neces-
sary to indulge.
Several of those who fused had been
waiting for several days to be invited
into the Republican party, but when the
invitation came not they decided that
they would do we'll to fuse One of
those men not long ago had an intervi W
prepared. telling in sounding periods
that he had transferred his allegiance TO
the Republican party His farewell 10
the Democracy was a touching effort,
but It was never published because the
Republicans did not seem properly i'm
pressed with the change of allegiance.
since then he has been asked several
times as to which party he belonged to.
but he has never answered definitely. 1t
was evidently a case of Who is the best
bidder?'
..The 'fusionists' are worrying cons4u-
erably over the Rumps. These latter
gentlemen say they are going to have
the time of their lives this year. They
are going to hold a convention in Keno
or Tonopah, and have made arrange
ments to hire two halls. They inquire
that one will not be large enough
10 accommodate the delegates that VIII
flock under their banner. Judge Z. n.
Mack is said to be a candidate fer y. >.
senator on the Rump ticket, and DICK
Kirmn may run for governor. Eugene
Howell is prominently mentioned ior
congress. They have been brushing up
their organization of late and they no"
claim that their machine is working pet
Ter than any other political mechanism
in the state. A campaign without the
pnp,ns would rob the struggle of some
Of It's picturesqueness. and | sincerely
hone they stay in to the finish"

HE Reno Gazette prints the follow
ing from it's Carson correspondent:
Samuel. generally known as
sam Davis for governor; John H. Con-
sldine for lieutenant governor; James
Sweeney for congress-those are three
names which nave been agreed upon by
the Democrats. The formation of the
slate is going quietly on, and in a little
while the beating of the tom-toms that
will be the signal for the first charge
of the campaign will begin.
There is some difficulty in getting ha
RIGHT men for the offices that are to De
flied. 1t is not known yet whether or
MOI Governor Sparks will again be a can
didate. but the Fusocracy Is going right
ahsad as if he were not to be considered
at all. The plan is to make Sam DAVIS
thc candidate for governor and Warden
considine his running mate. Sam has
been training for the office for some
time. One of the loudest guns announc-
ing his candidacy was his challenge TO
the New York Life Insurance Company.
OF late however. there has been no sign
of difficulty with the ! insurance com
panies. so everything has probably be n
fixed up satisfactorily between San and
the companies, against which his lance
was for a time directed.
THE truth of the whole thing is that
everything on the Democratic ticket is
being made subservient to the wishes or
Newlands. The senator has the organ
~ization. and although there VIII be other
candidates for office. the main obJy, We
point of the efforts of the machine Will
be to strengthen the cause of Newlands.
Both parties have come to know that n
a political campaign there is not a m re
selfish man than Senator Newlands-
Everything must be as he says and d.
vected to his own enhancement, or else
he opposes it in secret, devious ways.
To this fact Governor Sparks and Judge
Belknap can bear irrefutable testimony.

The WaT the Privilege Has Been
Abused Ia England.
American legislators are not the only
ones who abuse their franEing privi-
legcs. Recent history in England has
caused the London Chronicle to say:
"Iranking had its BIRTH honestly
enough, in 1860, in the desire to relieve
members of parliament of the expense
incurred in the discharge of their ma
tional duties but the practice rapidly
wiuened until it became possible for
members to transmit their household
goods at the public charge, as the fol-
lowing extract from old postoflice rec.
ords testlfics: Fifteen couple OF hounds
going to the king o. Romans with u
free pass, two nlaidseivantS going as
| laundresses to my Lord Ambassador
Methucn, DR.. Crclton. carrying with
him Il COW and divers necessarics;
three suits of clothes for some noble
mans lady Mt the court of Portugal.
two bales of stockings for the use of
the ambassador to the crown of Portu-
GAL deal case with four tlitcheS of
bacon for Mr. Pennington of I.ottcr-
1 dam
This form of abuse died when the
postofiicc stable underwent Il purifica-
ton, but it speedily rave place to am
other variety. Members signed packets
of letters wholesale, gave them away
to their friends and sometimes paid
their servants wages in franked en-
vclopes. In fact, they became yalua-
BILE form of currency, subject to the art
of the forscr, who did a roaring trade.
In 1715 l24,OOO worth of free corrc-
spondence passed through the postof-
fee.
.Fifty years later the nation was
staggered to discover that the amount
had increased to l17O,OOO, and strin.

| immoral tendencies of the houses OF
parliament. But all was in vain until
Sir Rowland Hill managed in 1889 to

MANS WEAKER HALF.
enc Side Of His Body Always Stronger
Than the other.

Tho popular belief is that the left
side IL Weak16 than the right, and, as
IA all popular beliefs, there is; inucn
truth in this. In most cases, says the
Grand Magazine, the right arm is de-
cidedly stronger than the left, the
bones are larger aud the muscles more
vigorous.
When we come to consider the lower
limbs. however, we find precisely op-
posite state of affairs; the left leg is
stronger than the right in the great
majority of cases. This want Of sym
merry is noticeable all through the
