Truly governments are but commit
tees of the ruling class.
Committees Combined.
In the senate three committees were
combined to form special committee
to handle all the matters pertaining TO
the Goldfeld situation. These were
the Judiciary, military and Indian af-
fairs, and federal relations.
According to a previous caucus ar
rangement it was decided and carried
through both houses on Wednesday
that the republicans of both bodies
choose five members and the democrats
do the same, forming a committee of
ten in each house to jointly act on the
Goldfeld situation, These committees
were chosen by the respective political
faction, and their appointment con-
| irmed by the presiding officer Both
bodies then adjourned for the after
noon to allow these committees to con-
fer on how to lick the miners.
Never was there a more fragrant
exhibition of the fact that both poll
teal parties are simply divisions of
the ruling class. These political re-
presentatives frankly declare that
| there is no politics in this, that the
only question is what to do with these
obstreperous miners.
A joke on the working man as long
as he votes for these tools to WELD
the whiplash over him.
Labor of no Consequence.
There are 22 committees in the Ne.
vaJa legislature and not one on labor.
Labor is nothing but haphazard
slave as yet in the social mind. There
is no conception yet of the injection
of system into the doing of the work
of the world. There is a committee
on corporations, the other side of tne
propostion-and even one on morals.
Fesler of Ely is the chairman of the
committee on morals. lie ran the Pal
ace saloon and gambling house at Gold
field with all the appurtenances. The
gambling house is said to have made
$4,000 in a single week. Fesler runs
a saloon now at Ely. But he is ex-
actly the proper eaper in the eyes of
the capitalists of Nevada to fix up the

MacKinnon, president of the Gold.
field Miners Union, is here on the
complaint against the union being
tried in the federal court. The ease
hangs on uneonscionably, being put of
again and again for other matter. 1t
is the prevailing opinion that it will
be puposely delayed till after some
decision in the Goldfeld affairs has
ben reached in the legislature. Some
half dozen other union men are also
here from various parts Of the state.
The Goldfeld Chamber of Commerce
is represented in large and aggressive
numbers, and Chas. A. Sprague, its
president, is here breathing forth brim.

has given out in several newspaper
interviews a lot Of hocusPocus about
