Every business man in this city feels d.
rectly or Indirectly the eramplng and
gripping effect Of the usury laws Of this
State. which offer premium on raseality
and drive more capital away from our city
to seek investment elsewhere than all other
causes combined. We are being stlhed
and bound hand and foot py
enactments conceived In Ignorance
and maintained through unreason-
ing prejudice, and it is time We mad
dropped all pretenee Of patience under
this outrageous and uncalled-for imposl-
lion. and gone to work like determined
men to relieve ourselves Of the intoleraoie
oppression.
The Board Of Trade has done well TO
authorize the appointment of committee
TO present our case to the Legislature, but
a mere presentation is not enough. The
committee should prepare so urgent pre-
sentation Of the case, backed by such
arguments as cannot fall to convince any
one whose mind is not lmperyiously en-
crusted by prejudice. And the committee
itself should be backed up by a hearty
support of our business men, and oy the
press and people Of this city.
For ourselves we do not believe that
there is any considerable number OF peo-
ole in our midst who are opposed 70 tue
repeal of these laws, and we believe most
of those who are opposed would change
their opinions upon hearing the case fully
and fairly argued. Briefly stated, It Is
thus A man who has energy, pluck and
capacity wishes to go into a business
whicl will probably give employment to
number of others and enable him to gain
a fair compensation for his own labor and
business talents. 1t Is a good thing for the
community and for the working people
that he should be enabled to do so.
The man, however. needs capital. He
goes 70 Il man who has made money an'
asks him to lend it to him. The capt
talist answers g should like to let yor
shave It, but l cannot afford to do so
"The law Of this State does not perml
"me to receive more than six per cent. In
"terest, but can send my money away L

The Newark correspondent: of the Mid
dletown Transcript reveals the fact that a
quiet effort is being made to organize a
jointstoek company to establish a daily
morning Democratic newspaper in this
city, said company TO have a capital stock
Of ns thousand dollars. The funniest thing
about Il is the idea Of those interested that
t;his Is a large capital for tine purpose. We
have heard Of this before and believe 1t Il
specially engineered by the "straighiouts, "
add that the idea Of those engaged in it Is
to buy the Gassiis. We should like very
well to see the thing tried, but when they
buy the Gazette for ten thousand dollars
We will mention the fact.

DRIVING TIE FIRST SPIKE. Yesterday
we were present at an interesting occa-
sion, the driving of the first spike on
the Phoebe and Bullionville Railroad.
At p. m, in the presence Of number
OF prominent citizens, Mr.. Cook, the
well-known assayer, presented Gen.
Page with the spike to be used on the
occasion. 1t was formed of solid silver,
IN size and shape the exact counterpart
OF an ordinary railroad spike, but hand
somely polished and finished and bear
ing the name of the public spirited
donor, Mr.. Cook, On receiving the
spike General Page drove it home in
the tie, and thus commenced the work of
laying the rails Of the first narrow-guage
railroad ever built in Nevada. Gen.
Page, who is pushing the work with
every available means, leaves town this
morning for Salt AXE, to expedite the
transport of the iron hither, The Gen
eral is the man for the situation, and we
wish him safe aud pleasant journey
with no upsets and speedy return, for
we want just such man as he is in
