A CLEVER MINORITY
BY This is Meant the Republicans in
The Lower House.

The Democrats have a clear work
ing in the lower House, but so far !
it has not seemed to be OF any special .
benefit to them.
When it has come to any partisan
plums the Republicans have taken
the tricks, although the Democrats
have held all the cards.
rhe Educational bill which central
iZes the power Of running the entire
educational interests of the state n
the hands of a Republican board is a
case in point The Republicans
laughed after they got the Democrats
of the House in line on that measure.
Had tnat been a board with a Demo
cratic majority the Republicans woulj
have caucused and beaten it.
Every Republican measure that car
RED ammunition and sustenance o
the enemy has gone through the Dem,
ocratic House without hitch.
\ few days ago a bill raising the
salary Of a man who had fought part
Of he ticket and openly stated that
he was working for the Republican
party in the campaign. went through
easily and the same day a bill favor
ing a straight Democrat who had
worked hard for the party during the
campaign was badly beaten
The Democrats have wrangled
among themselves all through the seS-
sion and the Republicans have been
harmonious and united.
They have wheedled a few Demo
Gratis into an alliance with them bv
agreeing to deliver certain goods and
: they got the Democratic votes first
and now they are not delivering the
goods at all.
1t is always good policy for the
majority to insist on an early deliv-
cry of the goods first, for they are
in the position to demand such deliv-
cry. The Democrats who have been
lured into these combinations with
the enemy have sold their Democratic
birthright for mess of cold pottage
and are whistling for the pottage.
But this is by no means the first
time that a Democratic majority in
the lower House have been tricked
and outwitted by Republican minor
and much to the detriment of the
party.
The Republicans come 10 the Demo
Gratis with smooth words and assure
them NO politics i'll this you know
and they are men in the House who
swallow the bait, hook, line nd sink
er without knowing what hey have
done until some kind friend CONES

DEATH OF T. r. MOURN

7. r. McGurn, the pioneer grocery
merchant of Virginia passed away
suddenly at his apartments on B
street Sunday morning at 2 o'clock.
Mr.. McGurn complained of being un-
we'll for two or three days previous
to his death, but attended to his affairs
as usual, closing up his store at 8
o'clock Saturday night.
At about 1 o'clock Sunday morning
he called to his bookkeeper, Miss
Ellen Hyland, and requested that she
make him a poultice. The lady made
the poultice and returning to M.

was ready and then shook him, but
he made no response She then ran
to the home of William Bennett, who
summoned DR.. Hodgins, who upon
examination declared Mr.. McGurr
dead.
He amassed a fortune on the Com
stock in the grocery business.

4 GREAT MIK-UP

Yesterday afternoon drunken man

prominent citizen.
He also desired to scrap, being full
of liquor, and in the scrapping stage.

Changing his mind later he followed
the prominent citizen along the street

been convicted by jury at Fallon Of
having received stolen ore from the
famous Mohawk mine. The jury

point by warrants in the hands Of the
sheriff. The prosecution OF the case
by the Mohawk company has been
very determined.

ODDIE'S LABOR BILL

Senator Oddie introduced q bill IN
the senate today called forth by the
labor troubles in Goldfield.
1t provides that anyone intiniidating
4 man by threats or force with a view

ployment with any particular persons
is a felony punishable with a years

The news coming from Goldteld IS
of the most serious character. 1t is
claimed that a conspiracy has been
discovered in which number OF the
Industrial Workers of the World
plotted to kill a number of the in

1t is high time that the entire state
rose up and kicked this lawleos worth
less combination of disturbers and
cut throats out of Nevada. The pre-

laboring man is made cloak to
create labor disturbances and intro
duce all the hell possible into our
peaceful industrial conditions.
