A Wall FROM WALL STREET

Nevada may be called upon to
save the nation n the same way that
y lid in the history-nlaking times Of
ire Rebellion. when the COmstock
was piling up its $500, 600 OF
specie and the rag money Of the
country was selling at a discount of
50 per cent. One difference this
time iss that the demand for money
comes from the men whose frantic
il diligence in all forms of excuses,
both social and financial, has brought
the government GA realization that
it is living too swiftly, and that the
pace cannot be maintained.
The captains OF industry have been
burning the condle Al both ends until
now hey find themselves stranded in
the courts OF bankruptcy. -AnO1hor
difference between the time when the
BattIeborn state was ushered into
political existence and now is that
the state is more capable OF coping
with conditions. \ majority OF the
mines are outputting gold instead Of
rization do not press as hard as they
lid in the last disturbance Of 1893.
Goldfield is the chief distributor.
Wall Street cries out that there is
not in sight enough gold wherewith
to conduct business. In other words,
hat the commerce of the United
tates is expanding more rapidly
than the production Of precious met
ais. This of itself is an excellent
argument that will enlist the at
tention of investors who may be in
inclined to engage in mining. There
is no depreciation in gold values.
They are accepted as the monetary
standard of the nation and. although
Daniel Guggenheim throws a sop to
the miner by saying that the time is
propitious for a revival of the bimet-
alic agitation, there is not much hope
for a restoration of the double stand
ard Here in Nevada, where we have
mountains of both white and yellow
metal, the regeneration Of silver
would not come amiss, but without
bimetallism we are better situated
than most states of the union. Our
silver is found in lodges of such ex
traordinary size that the metal can
ho n,inod at a 1Owor cost than in any
other state and, should the price
decline still further it would not ex
clude the Nevada silver mines from
the market 1t would mean a de-
probation of property interest, but
it would not imply actual ronfiscation
as was the case in Colorado during
1893, when 10000 miners were thrown

CITY'S PUBLIC SCHOOL
FACILITIES INADEQUATE
Present Attendance Al
ready a Tax on Room.

This is the last year that Americas
can get along with it's present
inadequate public school facilities.
That seems to be assured from
the present outlook. The school ia
cilities will be severely tested before
the present term is over, and any in
crease in the number of children next
year-which is inevitable will mean
either failure to amdit some or
greater provisions for their hand
ling.
In 1901 the highest number of
white children in the public schools
was $50. Last year the total was
725. This year the total promises to
reach, if not pass, $50
Already the attendance is 6S1
against 651 last year. The gain of
thirty will be held, if not increased.
There is always a large number of
admissions during November and
December and by January 1. it is pro-
bable that last years total will have
been considerably passed.
At present work in some of the
grades is being carried on under ex-
IRENE difficulties. There are five
grades in the High School and but
three class rooms. In two rooms there
are four grades. When a grade is
called on to recite it leaves the class
room, goes to a small space partition
ed off in the hallway, or marches out
to small building in the yard, and
there the recitations are held. Nat
urally the best results cannot be
had under such conditions as these.
II is difficult to see how the school
is to operate next year without two
additional rooms and two additional
teachers. There is only one sixth
grade teacher to receive all of the
eighty children who may go a grade
higher next year. No teacher should
handle-or can handle satisfactorily
over So to 40 children. The necessity
for another sixth grade teacher is
apparent to all. 1t will doubtless be
more apparent next year than ever
before.
Down in the primary department
there are three first and three second
grade teachers, and two third grade
teachers. The pressure from the bot
tom is too great. Very few are the
children who do not go beyond the
second grade, and as result the
third grades are overcrowded Ano-
Their teacher and another class room
for that grade is one of the pressing
necessities of the Americas school
system.

Queer BedfellOw in n. Y. Politics.

Little less than a year ago the
Republican newspapers of the coun-
try and a considerable number of
their Democratic contemporaries were
rather vigorous in denouncing
Hearst's Independence League as a
political aggregation composed large
ly Of the ragged elements of Socialism
and Anarchy. But from all accounts
Hearstism is taking on a complexion
of political responsibility it did not
previously possess. In New York
city an alliance has been affected be-
tween the Republicans under Her
bert Parsons, the Presidents lieu
tenant there, and the independence
League, with the result that a local
fusion ticket has been agreed upon.
This is a rather notable procedure
in the light of the fact that last
year Secretary Elihu Root was COM
missioned by President Roosevelt to
make a campaign speech at Utica and
accuse Hearst of being personally
responsible for the assassination of
Mckinley. 1t is evident now, how
ever, that as the Presidents chief
lieutenant in New York, Herbert Par
sons is not exhibiting the same hor-
ror toward Hearst that the President
did. But if the whole truth were
known we should find that the Presi-
dent, being a practical man, ap-
proves quite heartily of Parsons al
lance with Hearst.
In Massachusetts the independence
League, it seems, has nominated a
clean and popular man for Governor,
and commenting on the fact the
Springfield Republican remarks that
Mr. Hisgens candidacy for Governor
looks really inviting after the conven-
ton anarchy of the Democrats" and
it adds: I'm any event, the rise of
the Hearst party in the social scale
of our politics must be conceded, when
it is contrasted with what passes as
Democracy in New York. New Or
leans States.

FAMINE THREATENS
IN HARDWOODS

Mr.. VIM L. Hall, assistant forester,
has an article in Forest Service Bull
letin No. 10, which is far more alarm
ing than any of the articles ever
printed on the subject of Lumber
ing Trusts Mr. Hall has been
making a survey of the Appalachian
Mountain region ordered by the last
Congress to determine the desirable
ity of making a government reserva-
ton of that region, and has had
abundant opportunity to study the
subject of the supply and consump-
ton of hardwood lumber.
His conclusion is that the country
is approaching dangerously close to
hardwood lumber famine. Few
people have ever taken thought as to
what a lumber famine would mean
A total failure of crops would be a
calamity the extent of which anyone
can easily estimate, but its effects
would be felt for only one or two
years. 1t would mean hard times and
the enforcement of very strict econ
omy and a retrenchment in many ways
that would be very disagreeable to
a people that never have known what
actual want it.
A lumber famine would mean the
utter ruin of many important indus
tries; all, in fact of those whose
raw material is wood, as the manu-
facturers of furniture, trunks, boxes,
cooperage, sash, doors and blinds and
many others. 1t is hard to realize
how intensely the whole country
would feel the loss of it's hardwood
timber, having been accustomed to
a plentiful supply of it for so long a
time.
