TIE RICHMOND BANKERS.

10 seems To bee conceded that the
Richmond bankers constitute the la
test order of animal freaks known As
Taft Democrats. And it leaks out
that their chief objection TO the Demo
cratic platform is found in the bank
depositors-protection plank. just so.
The same old g. o. =. effort to gobble
up the little fish. They would have
the farmers of the state to believe that
the small banks Of their respective
communities are not TO be trusted and
that 10 be safe they must commit their
money To the tender care Of the big
banks of biz Richmond. The Demo
cratic platform says in reply we Will
make the depositors in the banks Of
Faumville, Of Appomattox, of Cum
berland, of Amelia, of BurkeVille, Of
Victoria, of Mehelrin, yea, wherever
bank exists, Just as trustworthy as is
the First National, the Planters, the
Merchants National of Richmond,
or the Chemical, Of New
York. Who is right? and who is
wrong? Fair minded men have but
one answer. Were our constitutions
framed and our laws enacted for the
rich and not the poor? for the high
and not the humble? Does the flag
of our common country wave over the
castle and not the cabin? Are our
ships builded and our armies equip
ped to protect the First National at
Richmond and not the First Nation
al al Farmville? Again we say that
the righteous man has but one answer.
And how we do rejoice in the fact that
the tried and true, the genuine and the
gritty Democrats of Richmond, indig-
nant at The disloyalty Of their former
brethren, outraged that they should
desert i'm the hour of battle, are matur-
ing singing rebukes, singing because
il will touch the pocket-book nerve,
the only sensitive one Of the aforesaid |
bankers make up. When the legisla-
ture is again i'm session the money Of
the state will be deposited in the diff
ftrent banks throughout the state and
not all kept i'm Richmond. Unsellish
Ills true on the part Of the Richmond
Democrats, but they arenot only loyal
to party but to the cause Of righteous
ness ia general as well.
Royal, aud the rest Of the gang Will
be routed horse, foot and dragoon. De.
moclacy is armed and woe be the
Richmond banker who feels the weight
Of her mighty battle axe.

apApA. WHAT'S MONEY p

Dickens tells US that Dombey, Jr.,
the cold fashioned child, put the per
picking question, "what's money!
10 Dombey, ST., and though the papa
loved nothing in this world quite 80
much as money, the question stag
gered him. "GOld and silver and cop
per. Guneas, shiIlings, half-pence.
You know what they are?" so yes, "
said the boy, 81 know what they are.
| don'tmean that, papa; mean what's
money after all? mean, papa, what
can il dO?n you'll know better bye
and bye my man. Money, Paul, can
do anything" To which the inquir-
ing youth asked again: at isn't cru
el, Is it?' "No,' said the miser, "a
good thing can't be cruel?"
Money good thing and can't be
cruel ? Ask Bailey, Of Texas, the
same question, and get his answer.
Ask Foraker, Of Ohio, and listen to his
reply Learn from the erich young
man" Of the Bible and take warning
as he tells you about it. Listen to the
crack Of the pistol in the hands Of the
suicide who had been faithless to
solemn trust. Study the miser's face,
the history Of the usurer, that Of the
man who went to Alaska in search Of
gold, Of the gambler who risks honor.
and home, and wife, and children on
the turn of card and you will know
that Dombey, ST., was mistaken when
he said, money is good thing, and a
good thing can't be cruel. It's the
worlds most enticing call from vir-
tues ways, the DEVILS most obedient
and efficient agent. As master it il as
cruel as the grave, though As servant
it may be made to do Gods will.
How much better it would be for
those people who are fortunate enough !
TO have accumulated surplus sunl- !
cient for their support if they would |
read what little Dombey, the "old
fashioned child, said he would do,
and then act upon the advice.
81 mean to put my money all To-
gether in one bank, never try to get |
any more. go away into the country |
with my darling Florence, have a
beautiful garden, fields, and woods
and live there with her all my life"
How pleasing the picture of retire
ment, and how much better this than
to go TO the grave grasping for more.

STATE AND UNION

Around the question Of state rights
our giants M debate haye often crossed
lauces and out Of the discussion emery
ed our great civil war itself The
problem was not solved on the field Of
battle but is still living and burning
issue.
In recent speech Mr.. Bryan dealt
with it, aud as is his wont in ms dis
cussions of questions Of public mo-
ment, did it in masterful and most
convincing manner. As applied TO
matters of present day concern read
his own words:
"Ihe predatory corporations have
taken advantage OF the dual character
of our government and have tried TO
hide behind state rights when prose-
cuted In the Federal courts and behind
the interstate commerce clause of the
Constitution when prosecuted in the
Federal courts
"Ihere is no twilight zone between
nation and the state in which the eX-
plotting interests can take refuge from
both. There is no neutral ground
where. beyond the jurisdiction of eith-
or sovereignty. the plunderers of the
public can find safe retreat. As
long as corporation confines its ac-
tivitieS 10 the state I'm which it was
created, il is subject TO State regula-
tons only. but as soon as il nVades
Interstate commerce IL becomes amen
able To Federal laws as well as to the
laws of the state which created il and
the laws Of the states in which il does
business.
"How strict can these laws be? Just
a. strict rs may be necessary for the
protection Of the public"
His position is impregnable and to
assault it is to engage in useless and
desperate battle.

Mr. Roosevelt was at one time be-
You'd question one Of the most popu-

far from his high place in popular

Better far To have gone on the stump
and then we would have excused his
folly because provoked TO il by the ex-
element Of the moment, but TO DELHI

disgrace upon the exalted position be

We cannot agree with our worthy
contemporaries, the Petersburg Index
Appeal, and the Danyille Register in
their estimate of the Sunday edition
of the Richmond rimes-Dispatch,
but must insist that as a newspaper
it is indeed "Supreme i'm Virginia. -
II is the one and only faithful mirror
of Nirginia's passing history.
In no other paper published within
the limits Of the commonwealth can
we learn so much of what's going on
in our home churches, schools, ON our
farms, at our manufacturing centres,
In the shadow of our mountains and
in sight and sound of the sea. No
doubt about it, il is supreme But
as with everything human some things
may with strict justice be urged
against ID.
The Sunday issue Is so large and so
readable that il has the bad influence
ofkeeping people from going TO church,
and then the Monday issue that fol-
lows prevents those who work upon
it from going 10 church.
No doubt the Christian owner re-
grets these things as all Christian peo-
pie do.

Big BUNCH OF
SHEEP HERDED
IN NYE COUNTY

The fact that the district surround
ing Tonopah is valuable to others
than those interested in the mineral
world was demonstrated yesterday
when about 10000 head of sheep ar
rived in the vicinity of the old ice
plant about eight miles northeast of
town. The sheep belong to the Lam
der County Stock association, and
were brought from the ranges in
Lander county. They will be kept
around this vicinity until the spring
as the bunch grass is plentiful and
the snow will be used for water.
1t has been the custom of the
stock company to herd it's sheep in
this vicinity every year and it has al
ways been found that when they re-
turned to their home ranges in the
spring they are in excellent condi-
ton.

CHINKS MIXED
in A LAWSUIT

Judge Brissell's court yesterday
resembled to a certain degree one of
the Chinese joss houses, for there
was a trial on between two sons of
the fiowery kingdom. And as both
sons had numerous cousins who also
had cousins, the place was packed
with the celestials.
From the evidence and testimony
as related by one You Kim, the in
terpretor, it appears that four chinks
bought a lot and after getting the
deed and having the aforesaid lot
surveyed into quarters there was an
expense of a couple of hundred dol
lars. One of the Chinese gentlemen
paid all the. expenditures and now he
asks that he be reimbursed the nee
essary tael. The title of the suit is
All Fong VS.. Sam Lee. After con.
Stunning the entire afternoon and dur
ing which time about twenty-five
chinks had testified, the case was
continued until this morning. H. H
Atkinson represented the plaintiff
while Walter D. Cole is talking Chi
nese for the defendant.

prominence few years ago when he
arrived in Chicago on special train
with the announced intention of rid
ding himself of an unlimited for
tune supposed to be located in Death
valley. His efforts to establish rep
utation as the champion spender of
the world occupied columns in the
newspapers for a time. The source
of his income was a matter of much
speculation, and 1t has never been
cleared up. II have set the pace long

fornia Ore Testing Works in San
Francisco, will complete his report
on the Nevada Wonder ores, and will
Immediately forward the document
to the officers of the company in
Philadelphia. 1t is understood that
the directors are awaiting for this
report and upon its receipt will de-
eide at once on the character of the
mill to be installed on the Nevada
Wonder property.
1t is known that President Higbee
has secured bids for the transfer of
milling machinery from Tonopah to
this camp, and if the report of Mr..
Bosqui is favorable there is no doubt
but that part at least of the Tono-
pah machinery will be utilized in the
erection of the Nevada Wonder mill
| When last IN the state President Hig-
bee indicated in an interview that nc
time would be lost in the construc
tion of the milling plant, and this
statement is borne out in the annual
report of the directors to the stock
holders in which they state that sc
soon as the ore tests are finished 6

can turn out all kinds of work that
is demanded in the Offices of lawyers,
brokers. promoters, mining compan-
les, or for any other kind of business,
and We guarantee satisfaction in
every respect. One trial will be sum
