Washington, Zee. 1o.--The report
of Secretary Cortelyou submitted to
congress yesterday is the most mn
portant and enlightening report from
a secretary of the treasury that has
been presented to congress in many
years. The recommendations are
denfite and the reasons for them are
made clear by the figures with refer
ence to receipts and expenditures II
is shown that the expenditures far
exceed the revenues; the revenues
being subject to still further reduction
by reason OF certain moral and eco
nomic movements. and the recon-
z incubation is made that there should
be a committee Of congress charged
with the comparison and co-ordina-
ton Of the appropriations for differ

BRYAN'S PATRIOTISM(?)

published by request of old Soldiers.)
When the boys in blue were march,
ing, fighting, starving, bleeding and
dying to save this nation in 1861-65,
w. ]. Bryan was babe in swaddling
clothes. November 18, 1892, after
a ripe age of 80, this Bryan wrote,
of the survivors of those boys in blue
as follows: The next congress will
have so wrestle with one deficiency of
$50, 900, 900. This tremendous sum
of itself would be enough to run a
reasonable government. One would
not complain if it were an honorable
debt, because it was never earned by
any act of patriotism or honorable SER
vice. The government is held up
and despoiled of no mean portion OF
this, and it seems helpless to defend
itself. One cannot help being curl
Gus to know how many more years il
will take to exhaust the generation
which feels itself injured by the war.
1t is safe to say that never did a gen
Grafton display such longevity. Will
those of the old boys whose "remarka-
bic longevity still keeps them with us
and the relatives and friends march
proudly to the polls and vote for this
same Bryan for president of the ma
ton they preserved, or will they not?

To the independent and dubious
voters of the county The Globe, in
its last issue before election, gives the
tip that a vote for the entire republican
ticket is a vote well cast. Early in
the fall we began boosting for the
nomination and election of good men
and when the republican county
ticket was selected and its personnel
known to be of good material we
began immediatly to urge voters of
the county to vote right next Tuesday.
There is not man on the entire
ticket but whom is fully capable of
attending to every detail of the Office
to which he aspires and who will con-
duct an honest, commendable and
businesSlike administration. Vote for
the best men and you will vote the
republican ticket straight.

part is as follows:
y. B. Carter, the democratic
nominee for county superintendent of
schools, might make good superin-
tendent, but evidently that's just what
the democrats don't want. The
present democratic incumbent, Chas.
w. Greenough, proved himself a
good man for the place, but his party
turned him down because he made a
few enemies in some district by en-
forcing certain state laws governing
the common schools of our state.
The democratic candidate should be
defeated for this alone. Knowing
why Mr.. Greenough was let down, :"
it isn't like that Mr.. Carter would be
very active in enforcing the compul-
sorry education law so distasteful to
some people,

FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
Capt. Jas. Woodward, Lawyer and Old
Soldier, A Most Capable Candidate.


Soldier, A Most Capable Candidate.
In all sincerity The Globe this
week commends the candidacy of
Capt. James Woodward as repre-
sentative from Idaho County.
Mr.. Woodward was born in 1886
and after securing an education in his
earlier life began the profession of
teaching. He served in the Civil war
from 1861 till 1867. He has been a
resident of Idaho county for the past
"a years. Mr.. Woodward is a law
yer by profession and he is known as
one of the best posted attorneys in the
county. He has been a justice of the
peace in this city for several years
past.
As a representative in the state
legislature Capt. Woodward will
serve most excellently. He is a
man of strong mind, active and de-
termined in all his efforts. He is
familiar with every need of the coun-
ty and, if elected, will make name
for himself and the county he repre-
sents in the state legislature. His
ability in the preparation of bills
up for passage alone marks him as a
very suitable man for the position and
all who know Capt Woodward are
aware Of the fact that he would not
act upon any matter until after he had

TRADE CONDITIONS IMPROVING.

The rapid rate at which the idle
freight cars of the country continue to
dimish in number is sure proof of
the steady improving conditions of
business. During the last two weeks
the reduction in the aggregate number
of idle cars was greater than at any
other like period since the beginning
of the year, more than so, 90 freight
cars being recalled into active service.
On September 10 accurate figures
gave 1862 idle cars in the country,
as compared with Alb, 338 on April |
last. The great reduction in idle
cars within 1o weeks is one of the
surest indication that business is rapid

GOOD NEWS FOR ALL NEVADA

Tonopah welcomes the glad news that Rawhide is making good,
and hopes that depth will bear out the promise given by the surface
showings. Hardly a day goes by that does not bring back some man
from Tonopah who has been to Rawhide and returned with the most
glowing accounts o. the new camp. Tonopah capital W among the
hrstto go into Rawhide and the outpour of money from here has by no
means ceased And the men who vent from Tonopah are making good
The Tonopah Daily Bonanza and the Tonopah Miner have kept their
columns filled With the happenings in Rawhide, and the stories that
they have published speak for themselves. The discoveries and the de-
veopments OF the properties were sufficient. if published. to keep the new
camp in the imelight, and the Bonanza, with becoming modesty. must
claim that its columns have been ever open to the achievements of the
men in Rawhide.
The news from Rawhide was good news for all Nevada. and this paper
exercised only its duty al a newspaper in publishing the facts. There
have been statements published to the effect that there has been some
knocking in Tonopah in regard to the new camp. This is true with re-
gard TO one or two men from this city, and it is hardly fair TO Judge the
sentiment II a camp by the expressions of one or two irresponsibles
There could be no better answer to their vaponngs than a reference to
the columns of the Daily Bonanza and the Weekly Miner. The state
ments Of the Tonopah men who ire returning every day from Rawhide.
speak for themselves and for Tonopah.
What is good for Rawhide is good for Tonopah. the parent of all
the camps, and II is good for all Nevada. The rush to the new gold
field has taken a number of people from this camp, but there will be
more money come back from Rawhide than has been taken from here
Tor the development of its properties. The interests of Tonopah and
Rawhide ire inseparably linked and the me of the older place will
certainly overlook no opportunity of boosting. with all their energy, the
baby camp.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION, ETC.

California is Il have a house cleaning. Dr. Blue. at a meeting in
san Francisco yesterday, stated that there raj evidence of the existence
of cases Of bubonic plague outside of San Francisco, and that unless
drastic measure were taken to wipe out the danger of the disease
spreading, the State would be quarantined. This is a move in the right
direction, and it shows that the Federal quarantine officer stationed OF
san Francisco is a man of common sense. He believes that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure,
1t would be a bad thing for California ii she We're to be shut off from
communication with the rest OF the world, and it would be a bad thing
for other States, and this State in particular. But the health OF a nation
lis the first consideration of its executive officers. The bubonic plague
has been brought to San Francisco from the Orient, by means of the ships
arriving from the latter ports. til pretty certain that the disease was
arought in by the rats which, infected with the plague, came Owe on the
vessels and escaped ashore.
To prevent the spread Of the disease, there is but one thing to be
~1one, and that is to have perfect sanitation, and that is what is being
effected in sn Francisco at the present time; the Federal, State and
municipal forces having combined in the work. The citizens, and es-
4ecia1y the women of the metropolis have also joined in the crusade,
@and the attempt to stamp out disease is determined. No doubt that
the desired end will be accomplished, and the threat of a Federal quar-
antne be brushed aside. To avoid this undesirable end, the people Of
our sister State are doing Just what they ought TO do, and Nevada joins
in the wish that the good work that is going o n will bring its own re-
aHard in the stamping out of the plague, which at the present, consists
only of sporadic cases, and that in future there will be not a chance for
a recurrence of the evil The way to prevent this is to keep the city
clean, and to have foremost in the minds of everybody the sanitary and
healthy condition of the streets, the sewers, the houses, the yards, and
the shops with which tie people deal as well as to exercising the great
est are Is to the condition of the places from whence come thersup-
niles
