The constitution requires the two houses

Responsibility of the Ministry.
Ministers must report their official acts to
the parliament and recommend such legis-

properly perform their duties. Ministers

the parliament, but they have no vote. Bills
introduced in parliament must have the in

The isolation of Persia; the inexperience
of even it's most intelligent classes in af-
fairs of government; the absence of pubic
opinion. and the lack of foreign popula-
ton to advise and restrain the politicians
will make it very difficult for the leaders
of the liberal movement and the influential
men in parliament to carry out the provi-
sions of this constitution. Their duty Is
even more difficult than that of the reform
ers in China, because many of the latter
have been educated In the United States
and have had an opportunity to observe
and study the administration of the govern
ments of Europe 1t is understood that

The Late Shah's Decree.
The decree Of the late shah, under date
of August 9, 1905, in which he proclaimed
the parliament, has a preamble in which
his motives are recited. He says that he

The shah commanded that code of rules

speech from the throne and an appropriate
reply, committee of eight was appointed

ing that assessment work be remit
ted this year by act of congress.
Mining interests, particularly as
represented by the prospector and
small claim owner, have asked for
little at the hands of the government,
and have received little, while fixed
laws and regulations have compelled
their close obedience.
In the preseh instance it seems
to us that their petition should be
granted. The situation, as is plainly
set forth, is such that many claim
owners cannot this year comply with
the law requiring expenditures on
their claims before the first of Janu-
ary. For many the work is impossi-
BILE and it does not seem that in fair
ness they should, because of their in
ability to get necessary money, by
reason of circumstances over which
they have had no control, be obliged
to lose or place in jeopardy their
holdings.
Since the present strenuous times
in financial affairs have come upon
the country the government has bent
every energy to relieve the banks and
thereby protect investors in securities
of all kinds as we'll as depositors. 1t
str Ikes us that the claim owner is en-
tilted to no less consideration.
We wish Congressman Bartlett,
who some days ago took the initiative
in this matter in behalf of the claim
op ners and prospectors, the backbone
of he mining industry, every success
iii his efforts to secure the relief that
is letitioned for. So far as we know,
NJ Mann and Mr.. Zurich, who drew

Yesterday morning the News gave
the opinion that the Offering of name
in substantiation of interviews whic.
it might report with citizens who
happened to hold opinions differine
from those of our evening contempt
rary, would simply be inviting abuse
and blackmail for such citizens at the
hands of the Impostor and its inner
circle of kickers. Last evening the
Impostor made haste to verify the
truth of the surmise of the News, at
lacking Mr. Riepe in uncalled for
manner, vicious and abusive Al the
same time the sheet smirkingly de
clares that the citizen who expresses
opinion adverse to that of the I'm
poster has nothing to fear. Con
sistency exists not with the kickers
or their organ. Any doubt that may
have been entertained as to the unre
liable character of the outfit, yester-
days performance was ample to dis
pei. Trust you with names or for the
delivery of facts fairly and honestly;
well, we guess not!

Where would you be? Consider for
a minute the expenditures that have
been made to provide you with rail-
road service and when the repre-
sentativeS of the kickers next appear
to put the usual dose of salt on the
sore they have made by covert
picking, tell them to move on; that
have thought it over and are through
with taking part in turmoil that there
is no foundation for in fairness.

PLAINLY, THIS is THE CASE.

The Impostor continues harping
the old tune, that the Nevada North
ern declines to erect a freight depot
in Ely merely in order to aid the
growth of Ely City. The Impostor
knows better than this. In all it's
fyawp along the line indicated it has
known that its object as alleged to
the public was false. Its entire at
ltitude in the discussion has had but
one aim and this aim has been fore
most from its first scurrilous, covert
attacks upon those who have made
for the upbuilding of the camp, at
lacks that were not warranted, that
were made simply in currying favor
with a certain class, that had as their
ultimate object, whether the I'm
poster was aware of it or not, the
bleeding of the big interests in the
district that feathers might be put in
the nests of shysters. 1t is not care
for the welfare of the people of Ely
that now actuates the Impostor, nor
has it ever been 1t is the Almighty
Dollar that is doing the business.
Returning to the Nevada Northern,
we have found nothing to change our
belief that the roads position is right
in declining a freight depot for Ely
The more we look into it, in fact, the
stronger the position the railroad has
taken appears.
Why should it force itself in where
not wanted, with expensive buildings
and tracks, were there the room for
the latter, when suits are pending for
the purpose of collecting money and
ousting the company from the single
track III now nOldSI
Why should it force it's way in with
more tracks to a part of town
where it operates single track with
danger every day of occasioning in
jury to individuals which will cost it
not only regret but large sums of
money?
Why should it wish to operate
more tracks for the purpose of max
ing business for lawyers of the OPP
position to the end of feathering their
nests?
Finally, why should it be asked to
do the impossible in making a freight
depot and freight yards where it has
no sufficient amount of ground avail
able, when less than two miles dis
tant it has abundant yard room,
abundant freight warehouses and
abundant facilities for giving the
public excellent service, which it rem
ders.
The haul from these freight depots
to Ely is all down grade. The dis
lance is much less than merchants in
most cities are obliged to pull their
freights, which they do uncomplain-
ingly.
Suppose you had to haul all the
way from Cobre, gentlemen, what
show would Won have for business

The Impostor charges that the
News has not held to the Nevada
Northern discussion but has wandered
to other subjects. There are num-
Der of the latter, major, which we
feel should be taken up, and we will
get around to them as time passes
Many of them are related indirectly
to the Nevada Northern matter,
wheels within wheels, don't you
know, major, which have been grind
ing out fees and which shyster law
yers, here and elsewhere, perhaps,
have provided the grease and motive
power for. But don't worry, major,
about our abandoning the Nevada
Northern controversy. The attention
you have been giving daily to re-
marks of the News on that subject
during the last two weeks, we might
add, gives the lie to your assertion
that we have drifted from the sub
ject. Far from it. The deeply in
teresting phase in the controversy is
yet to come, viz, the part played by
fees and rake-offs for the cultivation
of i'll feeling, turmoil, damage suits,
etc, in Ely against the interests re
sponsible for the development of the
district and it's towns in the last few
years.

Though thoroughly guarded for
some days, it has just come to light
that great realty deal is under way
which means much to Reno, but more
to the city of Sparks. The matter
referred to is nothing other than the
sale to outsiders of the large tract of
land lying between Reno and Sparks,
on the street car line. and adjoining
the city of Sparks on it's west line.
This tract, comprising upward of 800
acres of land, is known as the Schaf-
fer ranch. Just what the land will
be used for cannot be said definitely
at this time, but Judging from the
fact that the price mentioned in the
option is far over $4,000, and that
it is definitely understood that there
will be large expenditure in i'm
provements If the deal is completed,
leads to the belief that there will be
a new center of industry established
on the tract.
