A TARIFF G6MpAGR

The Buffalo Gazette has the fol-
lowing:
1T is fair TO accept the speech
of the chairman of the ways and
means committee in the house of
representatives, Congressman
Payne of New York. as the de-
claration of the republican party
regarding the issue to be pre-
sented in the forth coming national
campaign. Thus interpreted it
means that the issue will be that of
'standingpat' on the present tariff.
"Mr. Payne left no for mis-
conception. The tariff schedules
with which his name is ~associted
must be accepted in all their mon
strosity as the fulfillment of the
party pledge to revise the tariff
'downwards.' The increased cost
of living does not count; that is due
to 'over-production of gold;'
higher prices of living must be
borne as all order of universal
nature; the republican tariff must
be maintained as an inspiration of
omnipotenct wisdom and tender
charity.
1T does not matter that the re-
publican president himself has
denounced these schedules as at
rociously burdensome at points;
that protest has gone up from all
over the land; that the republican
party itself has been split and
d~emoralized in its strongholds by
this very issue.
The proclamation has gone forth
with all the force of congressional
authority.
mo more favorable issue could
be offered for the formulation of
the democratic campaign"

THIS DISTRICT NEEDS
JUDGE BROWN

The Phoebe Record. in its issue of
May 9TH, stated there is some talk
of making Judge Brown the demo-
cratic candidate for governor, and
that the democracy of Nevada
could not select a better man. We
heartily agree with the Record in
this statement; in fact, prominent
democrats in various sections of
the state have urged Judge Brown
to announce that he would be a
candidate for governor. To them,
he has invariably replied that,
because of the constitutional res
friction contained in Sec. III Of
Art. vi of the constitution of Ne
vada, he has considered himself
disqualified for the governorship.
Realizing Judge Browns emf
nent qualifications for the Supreme
Court J~usticeship, the people of
the Fourth Judicial District are
practically unanimous in their will
ingness TO support him for that
high office, if he should desire it,
but he has declined to announce
himself as a candidate for that
off ce. 1t would be with great
reluctance, however, and only
because of the desire to do justice
TO him and to the state, that the
people of this district would &C
quiesce in the loss of his services
as district judge by his elevation to
the governorship or the supreme
court. Now that the judge has
considered himself disqualified for
the governorship and has declined
TO announce himself as a candidate
for the supreme bench, the people
of the district unanimously indulge
in the fervent hope that he will re
main our district judge. The
people of the entire district fully
realize and sincerely appreciate the
thorough fitness, fairness and high
mindedness which Judge Brown
in the performance of his judicial
duties, has invariably shown him
self to possess, and they feel that
the district could i'll afford to lose
his valuable services as district
judge. The good citizenship of
the Fourth Judicial District, ire
spective of party, earnestly appeals
to Judge Brown to continue as our
district judge.-Pioche Chronicle.

APPLES AS CURE FOR lNTEM
PERANCE

The forbidden fruit of the
Garden of Eden, which brought sin
into the world. is now looked on as
the means of driving sin out Of
the world. No less an august body
than the Iowa State Horticultural
society is standing sponsor for the
movement to remove the stigma
from the apple. When Eve, sorely
tempted, partook of the luscious
fruit which had she been forbidden
to touch, she all unwittingly cast a
blight on the apple. which centuries
of cultivation and two national
shows at Spokane has been unable
to remove. 1t has remained for an
apple loving doctor TO discover
that not only can the world be fed
until it has secured TIE necessary
c~alories Of energy, but that the
craving for liquor-conceded to
be the greatest cause Of misery
and crime-can be eradicatcd
from the human body by the apple.
As if this were not miracl c enough,
it is contended that General Grant
might have won the siege of Vicks-
burg and the battle of Appomattox
by munching on a Ben Davis, a
Spitzenburg or a Jonathan, just as
well as by pulling on a fat cigar.
The use of apples as an article
of diet will very much diminish,
decrease and intimately abatc the
appetite for alcoholic stimulents,' -
declares DR.. Samuel Bailey of Mt.
Ayr, Iowa, That this is a fact
could be proved in many instances
if a little care, caution and vigilencc
were taken to investigate con-
ditions. AS a rule the habitual
user of alcoholic stimulcnts is
rarely a lover or consumer of APP
plies. There seems to be a peculiar
combination in apples, in the acid
in them or in the peculiar chemical
combinations in the apple, that
allays the irritation. or so-callcd
appetite, produced by the use Of
liquor. am also Of the opinion
that the keen appetite for tobacco
is limited by the use of apples. |
am thoroughly convinced that any
man who is a lover Of whiskcy and
is in a condition that he thinks
that he must have a drink, if he
will eat an apple before he takes a
drink. will find that his appetite
for the drink has been materially
lessened, if not entirely abatcd
for the time. Exchange.

a Chicago judge. The Chicago

concerning the matter:

Municipal Judge Going ruled yes
terday that a person who had OBJ
tanned a divorce in Reno, New,
after establishing a legal residence
there, could not be prosecuted for
wife abandonment. James A.

was acquitted. Mrs. Braxtor

STATES POPULATION INCREASE

The preliminary census estimates
of the population give all the states
but Nevada. Let us hope the re.
turns are not being withheld to be
doctored from the B%attleborn.

true forecast will be good enough
and will probably place it ahead of
all states except Oklahoma for
relative growth since 1900. This
despite the fact that the census at
that time showed the states pop
ulation to be less than in 1890. 1880
or 1870, the latter marking the set
ting of the star of the Comstock

made an estimate the first of this
year placing Nevada's population
at 100, 600. The Bulletin considers
that forecast conservative, but it
will near that Nevada will have
been the only State in the Union to
more than double its inhabitants

Death of DR.. Lit Robertson.

Editor of The Beacon
Our whole community was un-
eXpressibly grieved to hear last
night that our able and Self-Sacri-
ficing young physician, DR.. Lit
Robertson was dead. Only a few
days ago, when we buried Captain
SnOwden, | could not help but ad
mire his two stalwart brothers,
John and jim Robertson, and when
| knew what splendid citizens they
were making, thought how useful
life Lit was living, and remem
bered that Mack, who is also an
excellent physician, and thought
pbout the one magnificent daugh-
ter of Cousin Ophelia and Murray,
| could not help but inwardly con-
gratulate them:On raising such a
magnificent fumily, and thought
how proud tho mother and father
must be when they saw how well
their children were doing, and
what good citizens they were max
ing. And then Lit had gone into
his old neighbOrhood and was such
a self-sacrifcing physician, res
ponding to every call TO relieve
suffering, and leading so useful a
a life, | cannot understand why he
should be taken. I hope that the
