x<n A. DISKIN, Attorney Gen
MI eral," will be his title after
AVAs January /, if We are TO
Judge from the expressions heard on
every side. Mr.. Diskin will bring TO
the office the valuable experience
gained ,by him as assistant United
States attorney, together with a
sound legal education and a balanced
legal mind, besides q lot OF common
sense, which in itself is an asset to
be enyied. He made good In his fed
eral position and will make doubly
good in the state office TO which he
aspires. The voters will find that
their confidence has not been mis-
placed.
The barbecue given by Frank Cal
laway and his genial better half at
their Currant creek ranch ON the 5th
was by far the best thing Of its kind
that has occurred in this state in
many years. Although 1t was pri-
marily in honor of Colonel Serugham,
democratic candidate for governor, 1t
developed into a regular old-time po-
litical rally, principally democratic
in hue, but nevertheless with a
sprinkling of republican candidates
also in attendance. There was speak
ing, dancing and a glorious feast;
also, it is reported that another COM
modify for which political rallies for
merly were famous could be located
here and there, but the quantity was
decidedly limited as compared with
the good old days.
Senator ID. J. Fitzgerald of Tono-
pah acted as toastmaster and flled
an exacting position with his custo-
mary tact and geniality. Although
the candidates present, Of whom
there were a large number. were
nearly all democratic in tinge, yet
Senator Fitzgerald showed no parti-
sanship, but called upon the two re-
publican candidates in attendance TO
likewise voice their claims as Office
seekers, and they were given their
mead of applause along with their
democratic friends. IL was a charm
ing touch to a pleasant evening and
was largely commented upon as m
evidence OF fairness In politics.
Anthony Zurich was called upon
for a speech, but could not be loeat-
ed; whereupon n of his alleged
friends announced that Zurich was
running for the legislature and was
out trying to rustic the one vote
necessary to elect him.
Ii is safe to say that II Frank Cal
laway ever announces another barbe-
cue and dance at his place he will
have a hard time preparing the neces-
sary quantity of yiands, for most of
the population of Nye and White Pine
counties will be present.
One vital to the prosper
| ity of Nevada will shortly be before
| congress for consideration. namely,
! the reenactment of the Pittman sill
| yer bill. All miners and prospectors
and all others interested In the min
ing industry (which may b. said to
include the entire population OF the
| state) know positively where Sen
, ator Pittman stands on such a meas
ure; they don't know where his OPP
ponent would stand IL elected; IL he
should join hands with eastern big
business" the silver bill would nm
doubleday suffer defeat. Therefore
the voters do not intend TO exchange
a certainty on a vital subject for an
uncertainty. and undoubtedly by rea-
son OF this issue alone will give SEN
ator Pittman their support.
Although the act in question Is
denominated the "Pittman silver
bill the senator frankly disclaims
the entire credit for it, but generous
ly places this honor with others than
himself. In his speech at the recent
opening of the big Comstoek mill Sep
TENDER % Senator Pittman said
The bill bears my name. but II was
not my personal project. II came
from the western miners. representa-
tives of western mining states. who

and other distinguished engineers
