EPIDEMIC OF GRIPPE. !"

The doctors report an epidemic OF
grippe" and it does not need their
report, for those who possess the popu-

sneezing, splitting, Wheeling, ETC., were
a sign Of popularity, Alexandria would
be star boarder in the popularity

the epidemic been SO fierce in Its be-

MANY NEW BOATS.

When the spring comes there will be
many new power craft on the river and

touched up from the fountain OF
youth" that they will hardly be recog-
nized. There are a great many that
arc under the ship carpenters suspen-

CONFIDENCE IN NEVADA.

Nevada is all right since the danger
signals were dropped on the fake
promotion bureaus and there is a
steady flow of capital to the state
There is no gaudy display about what
this state is doing just now and a
glance at the map will repay the OBJ
merits of the various cases that are
before the world with the brand OF
Nevada" affixed. Look at Wonder,
where the owners of Tonopah Mining
company, the Tonopah Extension, the
the Belmont and the Goldfield Bel
mont are investing their spare
change. These propositions have re-
paid the first buyers and the inves-
tors who put their savings into the
promotions fathered by Nevada men
have no cause to repent their de-
cision, says the Goldfeld Tribune.
Wonder, Liberty, Buekskin, Fair
view, Aurora and National are types
of the regeneration that is going on in
Nevada and which is bound to make
famous the name of the state when
the transitory fame of a score of new
camps has passed into history.
Nevada is on the map and Nevada
mines are here to stay. They did not
make as good a showing last year as
...e most optimistic boosters of the
state would like to have the reputa-
tion for but they got there with a
record that caused the country
to sit up and take notice.
Last year was a year OF mill
building, the best indication of per-
sistent endeavor, and the surest proof
of the fact that the people of Nevada
have faith in the value of the propo-
sitions they represent to the world.
A saving of from one to ten dollars a
ton is not to be despised in these de-
generate days when the dollars count
more ~potently than promises. One of
the most encouraging signs Is the ad-
vance in the quotations of companies
that are yet in the infancy of promo
ton. No concerted effort was made
to sustain these values but, in spite
of the superficial neglect, every stock
of real worth has appreciated from
two to tenfold.
Nevada is not throwing away its
chances for the circus s%howings of
the curb but the state is getting down
to it's knitting and attending to bust
ness in a way that is best calculated
10 inspire the confidence Of the
world.

ROBERTS SPEAKS
FOR STATEHOOD
NEVADA CONGRESSMAN. IN TEN
MINUTE ADDRESS, MAKES
SPLENDID SHOWING BEFORE
LAW MAKERS or THE HOUSE.

Congressman Roberts made MS
maiden speech in the house Of rep
resentatiyes last Monday on the reso-
Iutiou fixing the terms under which
New Mexico and Arizona might be
admitted 10 the union. He only had
ten minutes in which 10 express his
views and impress MS individually
upon that august body but when ne
had closed there was no q within
he sound of his voice that could ac-
ci,se the sagebrush statesman OF hay-
ing wasted any time He struck
straight from the shoulder, without
eouiyocaiion or evasion. and when
the last sentence had been rounded
out and the applause had subsidized
every member OF the house, includ-
ing Speaker Clark, was aware OF the
fact that Congressman Roberts OF
Nevada was on the job.
There nay be those who will not
coincide with the opinions and argu-
menfs advanced but the people OF
Nevada can and will unite In admir-
ing the representative VINO presents
his views with the sincerity and force
that c~haracterizes the initial effort OF
Mr.. Roberts. He spoke In part as
follows:
Mr.. Chairman: Some OF us who
have come 10 congress for the first
time. and who by virtue of the dice
shaking custom which prevails in the
selection OF seats have been relegated
to the suburbs Of the house floor,
have sat here throughout this long
debate listening az best we could and
hoping against hope that something
might be said or done that would
justify the action of those members
on both sides OF the floor OF this
house who oppose the immediate and
unconditional admission of New
Mexico and Arizona into the union
under the constitutions they have ad-
dopfed. tApplause.) II would appear
10 rs that those two western territor-
f4s great in area, peopled with an in
telligent, progressive, law-abiding
and liberty loving people. rich in ma
tural resources and possessing all
that Is essential to statehood. are be-
Ing made the unfortunate victims of
a political gamble" in which their
hold card has been seen. and their
opponents, Democrats and Republi-
cans alike are each raising the
other while the territories stand
pat" and lose their ANTE" ZAP
plause.) They have been knocking
at the door of congress asking ad-
mission into the union for years. but
lest one party OF the other might
benefit by their admission and the po-
F1tti1al complexion Of the lawmaking
bodies of this country be changed.
their admission has been postponed
on me pretext or another, until now.

should be admitted. and admitted a
once.
1ae views expressed b. these men
are plain. and the people Of Arizona
need have no question as 10 how they
stand upon the recall when applied
70 the judiciary. We do not agree
Eith them in their stand as dietators
70 the people OF that territory as to
the precautions they may take in
their constitutions TO safeguard the
people against an incompetent. I'M
just. and INSCRIPTIONS judiciary any
more than / agree with the majority
in compelling the people TO submit
the question of recall OF the judiciary
a second time al an election. The
minority members have. however.
met the question squarely. while the
majority have not.
Many able and convincing argu-
ments. pro and con. have been de-
liyered in this house on the question
of the soundness of the recall propo-
sition when applied 10 the judiciary,
but | am unwilling to take the stand
that this congress should invade the
province of the electors of Arizona or
any other territory and dictate To
them the tenure OF their judi
cial Offices and the manner in
which Judicial officers or any
other officers may be removed
from Office as a condition pre-
eedent 10 their admission into the
union. That is a right inherent in
themselves.
My reasoning leads me then 10 this
conclusion. That the power of o n
gress 10 dictate TO the people of a
state the manner in which they elect
and maintain their judiciary and the
only manner in which they may be
removed, is not and never was dele
gated TO the United States. and is not
and never vas prohibited by the
states themselves.
II must. then. be a power reserved
TO the states respectively or to the
people.
Mr.. Chairman, so TAI as ! am con-
cerned, | am ready to vote now, and
vote for the immediate admission of
both Arizona and New Mexico as
states into this union.
Let US add We more states to that
old flag, the merest mention of which
should bring to the mind of every
true American the deepest thoughts
of patriotism, and make US all broth
ers Of one great patriotic nation,
whose flag Is known in every land
and upon every sea, and whose grace
full folds unfurled TO the breezes COM
mand the respect and admiration of
the entire civilized world.
Hail blessed flag, three cheers TO
thee,
The emblem of sweet Liberty
Long wave aloft, retain thy hue.
Those blessed colors red, white and
blue,

great mass Of fair minded Ameri-
can people demand their admission al
once. The majority members OF this
house are entitled TO no great credit
If this resolution is adopted las i
undoubtedly will be because il de-
fers action and asks the people OF
Arizona 20 vote again on the very
questions they once adopted By a
vote of more than three TO one. or,
to be specific. 12.1s7 for and 3.s2z
against. Is that Democratic? Is that
in accordance with your ideas Of
Democracy You ask the people OF
New Mexico. after they have present
ed a constitution republican in form
and adopted il al a general election
by a yote OF more than " to one, or
to be more specific. by a vote OF 81
742 for and 1899 against, TO vote
on 1t again? Is that Democratic? Is
that in keeping with your cherished
ideas OF J~effeTsonian Democracy OF
which We hear so much? Applause
on the Republican side.)
You say to the people of Arizona:
You have adopted a constitution
which contains a provision for the re-
call Of all elective officers by a de-
cisiye vote. l. is republican in form
and democratic In spirit, but We, as
the great censors Of all that is pure
~ democratic. do not believe that you
mean what you said by your votes
and are going % make you toe the
mark and Try II again"
You claim 10 believe in the people.
! have heard this chamber echo and
reecho with the eloquence Of great
men and have seen great beads of
perspiration course down the cheeks
of the orators while copious gushing
tears dimmed their vision in passion
ate appeals made in behalf of the
down-trodden masses, while the sane
tity of the ballot was upheld and
the majority rule" on all questions
was held 10 be the guiding spirit in
all that sayors Of a pure democracy.
(Applause.)
Why this change OF heart at a time
when you can respond by bowling to
the will of the majority? All on this
side of the house are ready to act at
once as regards the admission of New
Mexico. and many of US on both sides
are ready 20 do the same with Ari-
IONA, regardless of our individual OPP
inions on the various articles and
sections of the two constitutions. |

for ladies and gentlemen. In fact the
building is complete in every way and
1t is credit to the city in which it is
