ANCIENT COMSTOCK HISTORY I

With. the Old Comstock on the
up grade again many "reminiscences
float back from the early days of
the oil Lode.
"There were different kinds of
Superintendents ON the CONS took, :"
said the old Nevadan. as he braced
himself against the Arlington bar
a few nigh is ago.
There was Charley Bonner, TO r
instance who. wanted to reduce
wages. and who would have been
lynched by the miners had not
Father Manogue concealed him in
the basement of the Catholic
Church for three days. at the end
of which time it was felt that it
would be safe for Bonner to steal
out at night and go over the
Geiger Grade in closed carriage.
He was never seen on the Com
stock again.
Then there was Bill Skyrme.
One pay day while he was Super
intendent of the Savage mine and
was standing in the Office seeing
the men paid off. Cornish miner
put back upon the window ledge q
$40 piece out Of the $l20 that had
been handed him for his months
work.
whats this for?" asked Skyme.
" That's for you," answered
the miner.
Hold on a minute, then,
want to talk to you,' said Skyme.
1.-THE miner. in all Innocence
waited until Skyrme could get out
Of the little Office and talk to
him. The conversation was all
done by Skyrme and he conveyed
his idea by means of his fists. He
put such head on the luckless
miner that he had to be taken
home in a wagon. No miner on
the Comstock ever attempted to
bride Bill Skyrme to hold a job.
at was little things like that
which gave Bill Skyrme his hold
on the affections of his men and to
use phrase not uncommon in mi; =
ing camps. every man of them
would have gone to hell for Bill
Skyrme.
"Once the Bonanza firm had q
meeting and Fair preached the
subject Of reducing wages.
Mackay clipped into the CONVERSE
.tion by suggesting to raise them
to twenty dollars a day. WHATS
the difference he argued. No
matter what they get they blow
the money right into stocks and as
long as they gamble in stocks.
wages might as we'll be one figure
as another. / think high wages
will encourage speculation"
The rest concurred in Mackay's
opinion and the meeting ad &.
journed ....
Later on there was more talk of
reducing wages and one night FIVE
thousand miners had a parade and
after the parade mrn were asked
If there was anyone on the ledge
advocating low wages. No one
with those views however could
be found. Not on that night

A Subscriber "oissusted" With Us.

The Kennebec Journal has arrived
at the parting of the ways-it must
either abandon its position on the
prohibition question or lose a sub
scriber. Said subscriber so declares
it, He writes us letter which there
can be no misunderstanding. He de-
clares that he is Democrat and that
he is disgusted with the way you
whoop up the rum question:
We thank him for his frank way of
doing business. He is plain with us.
yet he objects to our views on this
great question. We might infer that
he does not wish to be convinced, and
that he fears to have the Kennebec
Journal about, that its very presence
may influence him toward better
understanding of the question.
The editor of this paper was at one
time a postmaster up in Somerset
who took but one small weekly paper
and probably never received a half
dozen letters in his life. 1t happened

VATICAN SCORES
new REPUBLIC
EncycIIcaI Pronounces SepaFa
tiOn Law Void.

Rome, May 30.-An encyclical ad-
dressed by Pope Plus to the Roman
Catholic bishops throughout the world,
strongly deploring the anti-religious
attitude of the government of the
Portuguese republic, was officially pub
lished at the Vatican.
The encyclical deals with the vio-
lent expulsion of religious orders from
Portugal; the suppression Of church
holidays, religious oaths and religious
teachings; the introduction of divorce
laws; the arbitrary deposition of the
bishops of Oporto and Beja, and, final
ly, the law separating church and
state.
The holy see, the encyclical says,
has been patient up to now, but can
not longer keep silent, as the law OF
separation denies to Catholic citizens
even common liberties. Such law,
the encyclical asserts, is spoliation
of material goods and tyrannical
oppression in spiritual affairs. Man
says the encyclical, is deprived for
ever of q fixed church in which to
worship; the law even violates the
will of testators.
Ecclesiastics, the encyclical declares
further, are excluded by the law from
organizations of cult. 1t prohibits the
publication of ecclesiastical acts; Il
forbids religious emblems; encourages
rebellion and the corruption of tht
clergy, pensioning those who have
been punished by bishops, or those
living with women.
The law aims to detach the Portu
guese church from Rome, the encycli
cal says in conclusion, and therefore
| the pope condemns it as null, 1t hav
| ing no value against the inviolabl'
| rights OF the church.

HEPBURN CALLS
IT INCONSISTENT
South Dakotan Wants Tariff on
Wheat but Not on Lumber.

Washington, May 30.-The hearing
of the South Dakota farmers before
the senate committee on finance was
marked by a colloquy between Sena-
tor Hepburn of Idaho and A. x. Cham
berlain of Brookings, who was on the
stand. Mr.. Chamberlain had been
making an argument for imposition OF
protective rates on farm products.
Turning aside for moment he took
occasion to lambast the lumber deal
ers, saying the farmers wanted free
lumber.
"How do you explain this inconsist.
ency?' questioned Senator Hepburn
addressing Mr.. Chamberlain. "You
come here to ask for a continuation
OF the protective duty on wheat Now
you want free lumber. Are not the
lumber products as much entitled to
protection as the producers of wheat? 2
Hr. Chamberlain did not vouchsafe
