Postmaster General Von Meyer is preparing to do a lot of things during the coming winter. He wants to es- tahlish parcels post system. to start postal savings banks and per haps hardest of all to introduce stamp selling machines There has been a good deal of discussion Of the two former propositions and people at large are well convinced that they are good things if they can he secured from congress. But about the stamp machine there is an entirely differ ent trouble. There is no opposition to the introduction of such machines. but there has never yet been one put on the market that WAS s mechanical suocess. A number of them have ;een tested by the postoffice department and all have fallen short somewhere of being a complete success. The mere fact that stamps are fIimsy pieces of psper and sticky on one side has made their vending from stamp machines a difficult problem If anyone can produop a machine that unquestionsbly will work under all corditions. they vlu have a zooi chance to dispose of it to the govern- nsat because the bead Of the dspart- ment is anxious to exploit the idez-

There are many puzzling differences between Scottish and English law terms. For instance. bankruptcy is in Scotland an 'act of representation" a solicitor is either a writer or a law agent" the argument in a case is the debate the assize is the jury. a wrOng1Oer is a delinquent" an idiot lin Scottish law-is "a fatuous per son" and burglary Is with true Scot tish cautiOnI "bousebreaking with an sggrsvatiOn."

Our republican neighbors are telling with great glee where the fund to run the democratic campaign comes from, a purely legitimate channel too, for every one knows it costs money to run an election. Wonder why list of the contributions to the republican fund is not published. Let us know where all the money comes from that is used for buying books and pool tables and cards, and-well it is too early yet to buy some things, but at any rate, now that the light has been turned on, why not illuminate the whole political playground.

THE WAY HE USED TO DO.

Sometimes when I come in at night
 And take my shoes off at the stair l hear my pop turn on the light
 And holler, William, are you there" And then he says, You go to bed;
 I knew that stealthy step was you" And I asked how. and then he said,
 "'Cause that's the way I used to do." Sometimes when I come home at six O'clock and hurry up my chores And get big armful of sticks
 Of wood and bring it all indoors My pop he comes and feels my head And says, You've been in swimmin'-
 you!"
 When I asked how he knew. he said, "'Cause that's the way I used to do." Sometimes before a circus comes,
 When I'm as willing as can be To do my chores, and all my chums They all take turns at helping me, My pop he pats 'em on the head
 And says, You like a circus too?" When asked how he knew, he said. "'Cause that's the way used to do." And lots of times when he gets mad Enough to whip me and declares He never saw another lad
 Like I am-well, a. last he spares Me from a whipping, and he lays His rawhide down. "I can't whip you For that, although should" he says, "Cause thcSs the way used to do."

HEARD IN PASSING.

MT Mellen suggests that, having pinched enough of the stock of the Boston & Maine road to prevent that corporation from falling into the hands of any rival of the New Ha- ven, he can afford to keep still and let the Massachusetts sentiment against merger kill itself by over- work.-Bridgeport Post.
 MT Knapp has never appeared to us as highly qualified to represent the people at the head of the inter- state commerce commission. His reckless condemnation of the law he is supposed to enforce entities him tc the admiration of the lawbreakers, but the people cannot be congratu' i lated on having such a man in an i'm: portant post of their service.-New York Press.
 The Chinese give us to understand that they look on America as their friend, and, incidentally, wish us tc protect them from Japanese aggres- sion. It is remarkable how many ot the nations look upon us in such a friendly spirit for purposes of useful ness only. When the emergency call ing for our services is over they love us just as little as they did before.- Baltimore American.
 The country is rapidly reaching a point where it is ready for radical amendment of the Sherman anti trust law. Such an amendment, it is important to note, has several times been urged by President Roosevelt in his annual messages and occasional addresses, and such an amendment undoubtedly has the indorsement of the best economists and men of af- fairs of the country.-Wall Street Journal.
 The Hon Serene E. Payne of Au- burn, chairman of the committee on ways and means and leader of the republican party in the federal house Of representatives, isn't in favor of a revision of the tariff; he sees no need of it, hasn't heard much about it dur ing the summer and doesn't believe a pledge to revise the tariff will be put into the party platform next year. Apparently MT Payne has had an un- usually long nap.-Rochester Post Express.
 The great meat packers of the west have announced a considerable raise in price for all meats except pork They do this on the ground that the supply is not up to the demand and that federal and state inspections have greatly increased the cost of production, Just how far they are justified in making these statements we do not know, but it is fact that meat is becoming more and more ex- pensive in the market and there is little prospect of decrease.-P delphia Inquirer.

WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 20, 1907.

The republican financiers have dis covered that there is a scarcity of money, yet there is a much greater amount of per capita in circulation every year. Can it be possible that many people are so afraid of the bad effect of the present republican pros perity that they are locking up their money for fear of hard times?

%GOLDFIELD RESTS EASY

~ oNDIrIONS are a little blue about 0oldfeld just now, but thank heaven.
they are lot due tt any inherent causes II Is not because there Is n o
gold here or that tn mines are playing out; it is not because the produc-
ton is dwinding, dividends exhausted, and the town and business gen
orally whitening up.
On h contrary, Goldfed can view the situation with more omposure n
equanimMy than N other community in the country. Even with the panic al its
highest and worst, Goldheld is turning ut this week something like $45oOoo
new wealth in h shape of gold ore. Last month thu camp paid $6610O in dfvi-
dends and this week, with two out Of three of her banks closed and scores Of
mines and leases idle, dividends to HI amount OF $64BO50 we're declared. Build
ing operations arr still going on in Goldfed without interruption. The big half
million dollar hotel is being finished mp; The News building is all but completed
the Montezuma club building is within two months Of completion; the $4,000
school house will be ready for occupancy next week, the 100000 court house is
going right along; the Power companys building is nw occupied; the Mitchell
building las reached the second story; the Nye and ormsby county bank build
ing our stories high, is getting its interior finish All these buildings are of
stone, while a dozen good sized frame buildings Tor business purposes are going
up Out o. h hill, the Florence mill is nearing completion, ne of the largest
and finest mills # the country, that will add Thousands per day to thu camp
output OF bullion.
While Goldheld mining and business men are feeling the outside panic to an
acute degree, they have reason to rejoice that they are better of than other COM

waiting investment will respond quicker when general conditions make a turn
than any other place in the entire country.

Richard Bamberger. who made the

turned to this place last Sunday from
Rhyolite. and intends to get out a ship
ment of ore from the property at once.
Mr.. Bamberger's associates are very en-
thusiastic over the high grade samples
he took home with him.. and no expense
is going to be spared in developing the
ground.
While looking around over his ground
a few days ago. VIM. Menking came
across a new ore body from which he
has secured samples that run about $3.50
per ton. Menking and Chas. Schein have
several prospects that show free gold.
averaging from 1915 to $3.50 per ton.
DR.. Des Marias was in the camp this
week looking over his interests. IT was
his first trip. but he soon saw enough to
cause a hurried trip back to Eureka to
make arrangements to sink a shaft on
the ground before the bad weather be-
gins.
The camp is looking better every day.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION

The time Is near at hand when. ac-
cordins to the custom of our people. a
day should be set apart and devoted "a
thanksgiving. praye inc praise to AL
mighty God for the many blessings be-
slowed upon us during the year fast
drawing to a close:
Now. therefore. I. John Sparks. gov
ernor of the state of Nevada. do hereby
designate and declare Thursday. the
esth day of November. A. ID. 1907.
Thanksgiving Day.
To the Supreme Ruler Of the Unit
verse. during the year. we have every
thing TO be thankful for. He has given
us sunshine and showers and natural
conditions for the production of bounti-
full crops from an inexhaustible soil. He
has given us pure air to breathe. pro-
ductive of health and happiness. Neither
pestilence nor calamities have come
through His dispensation. For which
all should be humbly grateful.
The people OF this state. as in the case
of many others. are financially dis
tressed. but this is not attributable to
God. The avaricious tendency of man
is responsible for the misery and dis
tress now prevailing. 1t is. however. to
be hoped that the cloud will soon be dis
persed and business resume normal con-
ditions, conservative and safe for the
benefit Of all classes.
On Thanksgiving Day. as you meet
in family and friendly reunion, remem-
Der the poor and needy with gifts of
comfort and joy.

! Seal OF the state of Nevada, at the
