I m l 4 GOODWIN' S WEEKLY. H and ho expressed the belief that it was probable H in the coming year and a half for Nevada to be B producing more tungsten the most valuable of H metals than all of the outside world combined. H What more treasure chambers Nevada has still H to open cannot yet be imagined, but if a demand H for something new is made, we suspect she will H And a way to produce it. She certainly has been H equal to the demand for fifty-six years past. H Her treasures have made a leaven which has H been one of the chief factors in the forward march H of the business and financial world, and had not H the shortsighted knaves and fools demonetized H silver, our country -would not only been far better H off, but would now be dominating the Pacific and H the Oriental trade. H A Good Speech THAT was an altogether impressive and clo- quent speech delivered in the United States m senate on Tuesday last, by our senator, Suther- H land. It was, too, a real American speech. The senator is to be warmly congratulated. M ,A little free American air is oftener needed in M Washington. M It sounds good, too, when the old world seems H to be drifting into the abyss of chaos to hear re- H peated a few sections of international law as a M notice that it will not quite do to try to run the H world upon a floating mine or to consign the na- M tions to one vast lunatic asylum. H Edwin S. Kerrick VERY sorrowful is the death of Edwin S. Ker- rick. So sunny and joyous and hopeful and M loving was his nature that he had intertwined B his very .heartstrings into the heartstrings of the M family and the tearing of them asunder is a piti- H able tragedy. The affection of the family for m each other is singularly warm and deep and this fl . blow was so entirely without premonition that the shock is extreme. That one so young and joyous and so in love with life should in an instant be translated, leaves the others benumbered and comfortless in their sorrow. So young and cap able and so much needed was he, who is gone that the others in the helplessness of their grief ask why it should have been, but no answer comes back to their cry. May the All-Compassionate comfort the living and make soft as down the couch of him who has fallen asleep. I Wm. T. Cromer A GOOD and true man, honest, faithful, every- where and always, he lived through a long life without reproach, lived until, indeed, he had become eager for the change that he was sure would usher him into a sphere where there would be no more heartaches, no more repining no more sorrow, but rather in a clearer, softer light, a life of enchantment would be his, enchantment ana never-ending expansion. He loked upon what we call death as but a new dawn today the splendor of which could not be pictured; his thought was of perpetual pro gress and ever-increasing joy in life; that the world was framed in mercy; that the casting off of a wornout body was something to rejoice, not to grieve over. Surely his friends will all hope that his de licious dreams may all be realized. Fine THE New York Times calls the proposition to give the Philippines an independent govern ment within the next four years a violation of the trust we assumed when we took those Islands from Spain. That, In our opinion, is exactly true the most cowardly act the "United States ever perpetrated, the worst desertion of duty on all our record. It takes from! our flag the lustre that attached to it when we drew away from Cuba, giving back the island to its .people, but, assuring it protection for all the future. Russia Never Forgets THE Russians captured the almost impregnable tress of Erzerum with its 1,000 heavy cannon and no end of war material, it is said, with a loss $' of only 5,000 men. That shows that all of Tur key's trained fighting men are centered around Constantinople. The Turk when trained and well officered will fight, but if lie lacks the training and the officers he is worthless as a soldier. On the other hand the men who did the work for Russia are her finest soldiers those rough-riding Cossacks. Russia never forgets. She is after the spoils which she won in the Russian-Turkish war and which Bismarck and Disraeli cheated her out of. Russia will give a better account of her- I self this year than she did last. The "bear that walks like a man" is getting his feet hardened so f' that the listening world is hearing his tread now. i It will be suspected that tucked away some- where among Ford's peace-promoters will be that fellow who went to the funeral just for the ride.
