Legislative and Cen
eral Topics from
the Capital.
Special Correspondence TO the Citzsn)
Washington. May 3, 1912.

of course. the only topic Of conversa-
ton amongst the politicians in the City
OF Washington is the Roosevelt and Taft
satisfied that it would come sooner or
later, and That MI Tatt's friends would
rib him up to the sticking point and
make him 90 after Mr. Roosevelt in the
same manner that Roosevelt has been
going after him.
There never has been a spectacle in
the United States from political stand
point such as that which is now being
presented to the voters of the country,
a President and an Ex-President both
stamping the country for the nomination
for the Presidency on the Republican
ticket, and hurting epithets at one an
other like the wives OF a lot OF fish
mongers in the White Chapel Market
in London 1t positively is dis9raCeiul,
but the Democrats have all of the broad
smiles and the Republicans have got the
dry grains They know tina the Dem
oCrats are clipping from the press of The
country every utterance OF both Of these
Republican leaders and will use them i'll
the next campaign. whichever should be
nominated
As have previously remarked in this
correspondence, whether "ROderigO kill
Cassie. or Cassia kill Roderigo" it
all makes for Democratic success next
November. The Democrats have an
immortal cinCh in the election Of a Pres
ldent next November. and 1t makes no
difference to them who is nominated
With all of this Crlniudtion and reCrlmlna-
ton between the two leading factors IN
the Republican party, the voters OF the
country will ultimately come TO the con-
Clusion that neither OF them is worthy
to be President OF the United States, and
in going to the polls next November,
they will say in the language OF Mercutlo,
"a plague on both your houses.
The truth Of the whole matter is that
Colonel Henry Wdterson is correct in
saying that Roosevelt is crazy. | have
known that he was crazy for the past
fifteen years, and he has been made
Crazier by his selfish ambition and an
insane desire tor the lime light He can
exist no better out of the lime light and
the applause Of the multitude than can
fish on land. 1t is the breath of his
uostrils and he is not much TO be
blamed for getting into this fight because

valuable Find Of MANUSCRIPT.

A very interesting and remarkable
discovery Of Illuminated manuscripts
and early printed books, ranging a,s
far back as 1880, has Just been rAade
in the library at OXton Hall. says the
Nottingham GngD Guardian.
It came about in Niis way: The
vicar of the paris5h, Rev W Laycock,
obtained permiYsion to go through the
books in the library at his leisure.
While so doing his curiosity was
aroused VI locked and forgotten
cupboalG therein, which he proceeded
to INVESTIGATE, It's contents proved to
be between forty and fifty volumes,
wF.ich confirmed the impression CON
.Teyed by the antiquity of their APP
Dearance that they belonged to the
very earliest stage of the art of print
ing, which was introduced into this
country in 1S4T.
The majority of them are folio vol.
umes and with one exception they are
all in their original bindings. Tilss.es,
covers are carefully planed boards Of
solid oak and the books are bound
with stout leather laces, the backing
and lining being fragments Of illum-
mated manuscripts Of a much earlier
date, cut up as waste with a ruthless

Batavian republic was established the
badge and color of the Stockholders
family became SO hateful to the popu-

polling their prince, they passed a law
forbidding the sale of oranges and car
rots, and ordering all persons who
grew lilies or marigolds in their gar
dens to pluck up the plants and de-
stroy them. This prohibition remained
in force until 1896, when Napoleon
made rHs brother Louis king of Hol-

superstition RovaIey Besneots.

Canterbury Cathedral, like most
Gothic cathedrals, is decorated with
innumerable inches for statues. At
Canterbury a series of these inches is
occupied with statues of kings and
queens Of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied
An old tradition has it that when
all the inches are filed the throne Of
England will come to an end. Queen
Victoria was approached with view
to statue of herself being placed in
one of the four remaining inches, but
her late majesty was aware of the old
tradition, and refused.
One wonders whether in the future
there will be four monarchs Of Eng
land sufficiently Indifferent to supe

Corn Silage.

An important consideration in deter
mining the feeding value Of corn silage,
compared with that of corn, slower, fod-
der-corn or bunde-corn is that in ensi-
lage the whole Of the plant, including the
stems, is converted into succulent and
nourishing food When in any of the other
forms the stems are rejected and are Of

United States army engineers,
in a recent report of Niagara
Falls, estimate the force Of the
cataract at 5000. 900 horsepower.
or 15O,O00,000 man power.
If one undertook to develop this
energy for only a single day by
hiring men at SO each, it would
cost $500, 900, 900. or enough to
build an other Panama canal.
Resides that, it would be
necessary to scour the world for
laborers, as the total able-bodied
male population of the United
States is only about a tenth of the
working forces that would be re:
quired.
Yet Z cannot be said that the
country is wasting the costof the
Panama canal every day at

million visitors derive pleasure

This amount will probably be
increased eventually by about half
as much again, but it cannot
materially exceed that, because
The limited States and Great
Britain recently neg otiated a
treaty limiting water diversion on
either side to. an amount which
according to the findings of
government engineers, will not
impair the falls as spectacle.
The treaty is not yet fully
operative in this country, but will
probably become so upon the
expiration of existing legislation

HELD FOR WHITE SHAVING

Harry Luckas of McGill, was
arrested Last week by Deputy
Sheriffs Newman and Holmes
under the charge of white slavng.
He had just arrived in McGill
with two girls whom he had
brought from Salt Lake City and
conveyed to the Rag Dump"
near McGill, wnen he was placed
under arrest. At preliminary
examination held before Justice
Cartwright Saturday last sufficient
evidence was introduced to hold
the accused under a bond of $4,000
for his appearance for trial later
befo. e the federal court at Salt
Lake City.
1t is plainly the intent of local
officers, as well as government
officers, to put stop to the
nefarious white slave trade which
has been so extensively carried OH
in this district for some years past.
Cyclone Lefty, light weight
prize fighter of McGill, was also
placed under arrest by the sheriff's
force 10 conrotion with the same
case, and will probably have his
preliminary examination tomor-

no intention of killing Kivich.
That in coming up the trail from

Kivich. who pointed what he

robbing Comerford. he grabbing up

him and grabbed at his throat.
The handkerchief gave Comerford
a good strangle hold and he choked
and beat Kivich fiercely, at the

help arrived it was found that
Kivich was dead. At the heari.g
the handkerchief was identified as
his by the laundry mark on it.

N. H. MILLER

Since we have been a resident
of Elko county, it's funds have
been carefully guarded by honest,
efficient officers. Every cent coll
lected from the people has been
accounted for. The present trea-
surer M. H. Miller, was elected in
1892 and served one term In
1910 he was again elected and is
now nearing the close of his second
term as guardian of the county's
money
1t seems waste of time and
paper to Write anything about
Major Miller He is probably as
we'll known to the people OF the
county as any man in it. Ali
know him sa faithful, honest
competent official. AS an expert
bookkeeper he has no superior in
the county: as careful, con-
sientious business man and a first
class citizen his record is above
par. He knows his duty as county
treasurer and has the backbone
necessary to perform it.
There is nothing in his record as
an official or a citizen that weighs
against him. In politics he is a
democrat of the progressive school
In submitting himself as q
candidate for denomination he
invites a craeful consideration of
his official record. If nominated
at the September prim ary, he will
certainly be elected in November.
We earnestely recommend M. H.
Miller to the democrats of Elko
county as the proper man for
county treasurer.
