An amendment WAS offered to-day to the rules
Of the Board OF Trade, the object of which is to
limit The hours Of trading in produce. OF course
no rule can be framed, or ought to be framed,
TINT would prevent one man from buying and
another man from selling, at any time, il the two
parties to the bargain are agreed. But the Board
OF Trade can, and ought to, refuse to interfere
in the Of failure to fulfill contract made at
unreasonable hours. AS the thing stands now,
it is IN unni!igated nuisance. A few men got
together as early as o'clock in the, morning.
sometimes earlier, and establish market; and
then they stand round till bedtime, hours after
the bulk Of the business men have gone home.
These men, who do no trading Of consequence,
are the ones that furn ish the opening and clos
ing quotations, which are telegraphed all over
the country as the Chicago market, when, in nine

able man can transact all the business necessary
to the welfare Of himself and clients between

Board of Trade should encourage them no longer
in doing SO by indoraing their transactions.

THE Aldine has taken the front rank
among illustrated magazines. 1t Is an
essentially American periodical, yet
has a ~fraternal regard for the rest OF
the live world. It is now In the sixth
year Of Its existence, and its high rank
as chief among illustrated monthly
family journals is universally admitted
and conceded. Its prospectus for 1873,
the sixth year Of Its existence, gives
earnest promise Of an improved main
tainance Of Its past aud present high
standard. The literary department Is
presided over by Richard Henry Stod-
dard. assisted by the best writers and
poets Of the day, and when we say that
the art department shows for itself, all
who critically view the illustrations Of
the work will fully appreciate our re-
mark. In addition to Its own Inherent
attractions, the proprietors offer a pair
Of most beautiful and valuable oil
chromos, as a premium to yearly sub
scribsrs who pay IS in advance. The

As might have reasonably been ex-
pected, Alfred Williams, whose inju-

died at 8 o'clock on tho evening previ-

CARSON, january ~, 1919.
EprToa NEWS: Although the bill for
the relief of the Rhoades bondsmen
has not yet come before the Legisla.
.ture, there b mach talk concerning It,
and from what I am able to CLEAN from
those gentlemen with whom I am per-
sonally acquainted, I am Of the opin-
Ion that the bill will pass and the
bondsmen will be released. I conceive
that 1t would be an act Of injustice 70
hold them, for many reasons.
Firstly-Because many Of them are
insolvent, and 1t would seem an act OF
injusticeto hold one and'not another.
Seoondly-An the proofs addueed In
the trials had, have shown conclusively
that the defalcation existed 10 the first
term as we'll as the second, and until,
by incontrovertible proof, 1t shall be
shown that the whole ~detalcation oc-
Cured during the term for which the
bondsmen Of that term were held, 1t
surely would DO wrong to hold them
responsible.
Thirdly-Owing to the bill passed
by the Legislature of 1861. e., the
Supplemental Bill, relative to the pro-
curing Of an iron safe-the Board Of
Examiners had no possible way Of as
certaining the amount Of money In the
Treasury on the days set apart for
counting said money. And II, to suit
the convenience Of a State officer, the
Legislature Of the State see fit to enact
laws that leave such officer an oppor-
tunity to appropriate State money
without fear Of detection, certainly
those who were bounden for the proper
discharge of the officers duty should
not be held amenable.
By all rules Of Justice the bondsmen
OF Eben Rhoades should, In my esti-
nation, be released from their respon-
sibllity. The determining of the case
In the Courts of law has been long a
vexed question, and cost the State
much money, and If proceeded with
will 20 OIL ad infnitum. Better, 1t
would seem, to forever set at rest the
question, and 30 save the State Of

event Of the calling Of an extra session
Of the Legislature, Eureka county

Amendment after amendment was Of
fered, but none Of them seemed to GOV.
or the case, SO after a spirited debate
Of two hours. which was participated
In BY Senators Cassidy, Mccoy, Ste
venson, McClinton. Varian and Nc
Beth, and the thing being muddled
worse than ever, Mr.. Stevenson moved
that the committee rise, report pro-
gress and ask leave to sit again, which
was amended by Mr.. McBetb, that It
be recommended to be referred to the
Judiciary Committee, which amend
ment prevailed. A number Of other
bills on the file we're considered and
each recommended for reference to Its
appropriate committee. but when the
committee arose another grand wran-
gle got started, as to whether the bills
should be acted on In Senate, rs q
whole, or seriatim. Nobody seemed to
know exactly, but Mr.. McCllnton
seemed to have the clearest perception
of the matter. and In the midst Of an
eloquent explanation Of the views OF
some Senator, I was suddenly startled
by a motion to adjourn, which was
carried, and 1 could not tell to save
my life what had become Of the "sub-
ject matter" as us legislators say, but
as 1t was after four, and | was hungry,

Every session of the Legislature
there Is always something started
about altering or changing the gamb-

amendment, to prohibit the carrying
OIL of games on the first floor. I hap
pen to know that the little joker vas
gotten up by a gentleman living In
San Francisco, who IL here on a visit,
who Is not a gambler, don't gamble
himself, and l believe is not a church
member. What his object IL, | leave
to others to guess, but l think 1t Is just
intended for a little scare, with the
idea OF causing some OF the boys to
make a slight losing. There may be
other bills gotten up BY parties within
the State, but II there are, ! have failed
to hear Of them.

IT may not be embarrassing to ad-

Geneva award that has not heretofore

Of u claim before the Geneva Com

ting our damages no account was made
of the value OF the British vessels cap

value OF prizes captured during the
war could not have been less than $i0,-
600, 900, and at least $l5. 900. 900 Of this
sum was, no doubt, represented In
English vessels. Thirty millions would
therefore seem to DO nearer the amount

THE NATIONAL SCANDAL.

Mas the investigation Into the Credit
Mobilier proceeds, n is astonlshed at
the disclosures made; and that the
substantial truth of the general charges
are established. That gentlemen, high
In the councils Of the nation, have been
enabled BY means Of that relation, to
derive large pecuniary advantages,
through favoritism to the Pacific Rail-
road schemes, Is now proven beyond a
doubt. The fraud has struggled for
years in q vain effort to hide from pub
lie gaze. In 1868, Mr.. c. c. WASH
burne, Of Wisconsin, exposed the Cred
1t Mobilier swlndle. To make the
road Union Paclfcl cost the stock
holders no more than absolutely nee
essary, and at the same time to make
il represent q nominal cost that would
relieve the stockholders from the ap-
pearance Of not putting in money of
their own, they resort to a device un-
heard Of before in this country, name
ly, the Credit Mobilier, by which the
company practically contracted with
itself to build the road, aud the enor-
nous figures they exhibit as represent
ing the cost, are absolutely fictitious.
These enormous figures were $Gs.000
per mile, Including 5000 in rolling
stock. An interest in this contract,
therefore, was very valuable. The
controlling spirits In the Union Pa
ciic organized the Credit Mooilier,
admitting influential members Of Con-
gress to shares In 1t; and under
their manipulation, Congress voted
funds and lands to the company In aid
Of the road, and tho company used
them to meet their obligations to the
Credit Mobiller. In fact, members OF
Congress, with the leading directors,
contracted with themselves to build
the road, aud paid themselves enor-
nous rates out Of the national treasury.
How many members Of Congress are
implicated in this scheme, we shall
probably never know, although Cakes
Ames appears to be DESTROYS OF making
a clean breast of 1t, but we do know
that two years ago the combination
was stroug enough to defeat MIR. Bout
wells attempt to collect interest on
the $S4, 900, 900 of bonds. They have
held Congress firmly in their grasp,
by manipulation and bribery, but their
influence Is becoming impaired. Our
representatives are awakening to the
vital necessity Of stemming the current
Of corruption. Already they hear the
mutterings which precede the hurri-
cane of popular indignation which will
overwhelm them, provided they do not
most thoroughly investigate these
charges. The people will not be salts
fed any longer with mere whitewash-
ing reports. They demand conviction
Of the dishonored representatives Of the

= Under this bead we deslre to call
particular attention to a communica-
ton we publish today from a we'll
known and responsible citizen Of Car
son. His ideas aud our own perfectly
coincide on the subject. We earnestly
.hopc to see . bill unanimously pass
fhepreseut Legislature, absolving the
bondsmen Of the defaulting State
Treasurer Rhoades from all further
responsibility In the matter. It Is ON
clusiysly proven that the defalcation
already existed to a considerable ex-
tent during his first term OF Office, and
before those bondsmen had by signing
his bond become anywise responsible.
Tho delinquency Of the second term
was also doubtless in a great measure,
The result Of the first, and owing to the
Imperfect arrangements for 50 doing,
those whose duty 1t was to count the
moneys in the treasury at specified
times were unable TO do so, therefore
the bondsmen, as we'll IS everybody
else, were completely in the dark at
the time they signed the bond, and
were necessarily kept so until the
death Of Mr.. Rhoades finally brought
about a thorough Investigation and ap-
proximate understanding Of the mat
ter. In view Of these. as we'll as other
absolving circumstances In the case,
those bondsmen ought not to be held
either morally or by any true princi-
ple,of equity.
It must also be borne in mind that
since signing that bond some Of the
saSeties have died, others became
bankrupt or totally unable to assist in
making good any portion Of the defal-
cation, aud at the present time, out Of
Che original twenty-nine there are only
about ten, or even less, remaining, who
are financially sound, Or able to pay
any portion Of that deficiency which
was created through no fault Of theirs,
and from which they certainly have
derived no benefit. Their signatures
to the bond in reality was to be con
sldered at the time indirectly an ac-
commodation and benefit 10 the State,
they having no other possible motive
or interest in the matter, and their
fellow-citizens should SO consider it,
and not selfshly exact the Shylock
pound Of flesh. yer though It could be
done at point Of law. W. find that
tile few individuals who insist upon
holding the Rhoades bondsmen rig
idly responsible. are principally Of
those VINO always decline to sign the
bond Of anybody, never becoming sure
ty for any one beyond their W self
ish selves. We have some good, SEN
sible, square minded men in the pres
