REGlATRY LAW.

The Reno Crescent Is of the opinion
that the registry law as it nov stands
doe. not tend to proven: fraud at cleo
lions, and is a failure su far as its ten
dency to promote the purify of the
ballot-box is concerned. While we do
not indorse the Crescent's sweeping de-
nunciation of the law, the following
suggestions and comments strike us rs
exceedingly well advised and whole
some:
In our opinion the time Of probation
should De extended from six tn twelve
months, and residence in the county
from thirty to ninety days. The OBJ
ject i'll this change oi time can but lie
manifest TO all VINO have observed the
scandalols and di>sraceiul practices
by which IA shoddy a~ri:iocracv. at our
cen election. sought to {, override the
will of the people, and impose upon
them representatives whose chiefeSt
interest was their ruin. 1t has been
conceded in all times past that in the
virtue aud intelligence OF the masses
rested the foundation Of all tree gov
crnnent. 1t is manifest IN the least
observing that that foundation IS being
sapped, and that the Sure%rstructure is
%tottering 10 its fall, and such beihy the
case, it becomes tie highest duty of an
American citizen To lend his every en-
ergy TO the turning back of the tide of
corruption that threatens our institu
ton.

FREIGHrS AND FARES.

The Humboldt Register says a
prominent merchant Of Winnemucca.
who has been studying the railroad
freight complications, has ascertained
that freight from Pittsburg, Pennsyl-
vania to Sacramento is 81 so per
hundred pounds, and the ate per
hundred pounds from Pittsburg to
Winnemucca is Sc. From Sacramento
to Winnemucca is 81 o.. Passage fare
from Boston to Omaha is $50, and
from Boston to Winnemucca It is Sl42.
The distance from Boston to Omaha is
about the same as from Omaha to Sac
ramento. 1t costs twice as much to
transport a gallon of coal oil from Og-
den to Wirnemucca as it does from
Chicago TO Ogden.
Tie trans-coHtinental freight and
fare system appears to be based upon
the principle of hogging faro game,
viz: THE more you put down. the
less you take up" At all events, the
above facts clearly indicate that the
further freight and passengers are car
ried the less the charge therefor.

THE CONGRESSIONAL MINING
LAW.

The first of next January is the day
upon which all claims are subject to
re-location,.w here the ON ner> have not
complied with the requirements of the
Congressional mining law. No doubt
many holders of valuable ~undeveloped
mines will be caught mapping, and
their long-cherished visions of pro-
speciive wealth merge into the stern
reality of bitter disappointment. AL
though it will doubtless work hard
ships in many instances, we regard the
law, in the main, as a good ONE, mas
much as it will tend to the develop
ment Of many valuable mines, whose
mineral wealth would remain undevel,
oped for years, if it depended upon
their sluggish owners to open the aven'
ues to the treasures which they would
hold, but lacked the enterprise to en-.
low.

We see some of the Stale papers are
advocating a new apportionment of
the members of the Legislature. There
car be no question tina; the present ap-
Portionment infllcis great injustice on
many Of the counties. II seems TO
have been made without any reference
whatever to population. Unequal in
the first place, II is made vastly more
50 by the migratory habits Of all min
ing communities. The constitution
limits the Legislature 10 IS members.
This limit had been reached prior TO
the creation Of Eureka county; so We
had to be content with an equal divis-
ion of Lander's delegation. There is
no county in the State where the exist
ing apportionment is so glaringly inc.
quail, population considered. as in Eu-
reka. We registered at the last cleo
ton, in round numbers, about 1000
voters. Our Legislative force is one
Senator and two A>semblymen.
Churchill, with her sixty voters. has
an equal number. while Esmeralda.
with a voting population of less than
100. has two Senators and four ASSEM-
blymen. The 900 voters of White
Pine county are represented by two
Senators and five members of the
Lower House. The SAINT inequality
exists in other counties, as can be
readily seer by reference to the official
vote Of the state. This j. by no means
a proper state of affairs, and the COM
ing Legislature, if actuated by a due
sense of justice. should do something
in the way of corrective legislation.
Eureka's delegation should be doubled,
even though it necessitates the blot
ting out Of Churchill county. White
Pine and Esmeralda should also be
cut down, if such a thing is AT all pos
sible under the constitution. At any
rate, the Legislature will fall shor, of
the performance of one of its most i'm
portant duties il it suffers the session
to pass without a reasonable readjust-
ment of the Legislative apportion-
ment.

WORD OF

We have been urged to call the At
tention of our fellow-townsmen 10 the
disorsauizsd condition OF local Fire
Department, and, upon making inquir-
les. have ascertained sufficient to war.
rant Us in most earnestly warning the
people that further inaction in the mat
ter will be accompanied with imminent
danger of most disastrous results. The
town is amply provided with the neces-
sary element and proper implements
for suppres>iny a conia-raiinn. but
they are rendered comparatively use
less. owing to the d~isorganized condi-
ton of the Fire Department. upon
whose efficiency and promptitude de-
Ponds, in a great measure. the effect
ualness of the means al hand for CON-
batting the destroying element.
We are informed by a member of
Rescue Hose Company that there has
been no meeting of that organization
for the last five or six months. it being
impossible to get together a quorum
for the transaction OF business. The
foreman has left the town, and. in case
OF fire. nc one is authorized to direct
the operations of tie company or the
working OF the apparatus. There are
six hundred feet Of hose in the house,
which, from want of proper care and
a+fanrtan hos ayranIx- hanAnNa ,ap-iJ
erably damaged, and. if suffered 10 re-
main in its present condition, Will o o
become entirely worthless. There are no
funds in the treasury of the company
and the few members who exhibit any
interest in the matter do not feel that
they can afford to bear the entire con-
tingent expenses of the organization,
consequently the property of the COM
pany is permitted to go to rack and
ruin through the want of proper care
and attention.
The affairs of the Hook and Ladder
Company are in a little better condi-
ton, but We are informed at its last
meeting, that all but about sixteen
names were stricken from the roll on
count of the nen-payment OF dues.
That number of men is not sufficient
to work the apparatus effectually; be-
sides the tax is too great upon each
member to bear his proportionate share
OF the necessary expenses OF the COM
pany. and unless some encouragement
is given it, in all probability the
company will soon disband altogether
default as its brethren of the Rescue
Company have done. This is a mat
ter which calls for the immediate at
tention of the property holders of the
town, and we trust that prompt action
will be taken to avail ourselves of the
means we possess of suppre,sing Il
such a calamity. We have abundance
of water, plenty of fire-plugs, nose,
and other necessary apparatus, and all
that is wanting is a couple of we'll dis
posed companies to render these means
effectual. Let this be attended to with
out delay. We learn that a commit
tee of active members of each COM
pany will take the matter in hand. and
we trust that it will meet with encour-
agement from every business man and
property holderein the town, resulting
in the organization of two companie.
with sufficient men and means to ren-
der effectual service in the hour OF
need and danger.

CHICAGO, Dec. ).
A Washington special. speaking of
Vice President Wilson'S presence at
the Capital and his intention of pre-
siding over the Senate this present se>-
sion. intimates that he does not intend
to preside during the session, but will
retire from the chair after proceeding
a few days, which will ncces>ita,e Il

Carpenters term of office expires as
soon as the Vice President takes the
chair. and it is said there is "a determine
alton on The part of The Senate not to
re elect Carpenter.

inaugural address OF Governor Cham
bcrlain promises all that the Conser-
vatives could ask. and il is belived that
il the Legislature carries out it's recon-
m~endationS, better days are i'll store
for the state.

tors West and Flanagan. and several
others of their standing in the Senate.
are making fierce declarations against
Postmaster General Jewell. kiana-
gan communicated his deep di>pleas-
IRE at the Investigations in Texas and
the discharge of sonle of his postmast-
ers. West was aggrieved because a man
named Stonaker. whom West had pen
stoned on the department as a special
agent, was dismissed. Now these gen
t!emen, with the friends of some other
dismissed officers, are hoa>tiny that
Jewell will not he confirmed. A ma
iority Of the Senators here, however,
laugh at these threatenings and say
the Postmaster General Will be CON
tirined without a show OF opposition.

WASHINGTON. Dec. ).
The President to-day read his mes
sage. though not quite complete, to the
Cabinet, several members of which.
while avoiding any reference to its
contents, say it was satisfactory in all
parts.
The President has not been officially
notified of the arrival of King Kala-
kaua at San Francisco, and according
ly no arrangements have been ordered
as to his reception. 1t is probable that
during to-day formal messages have
I,assed between Secretary Fish.and the
representatives OF the king, at San
Francisco. The Hawaiian Minister,
Allen. who came here to manage for
the reception Of the king, has been alb
sent from the city tor some days, and,
in consequence, our Government j. not
fully informed as TO the wishes Of the
king in regard to his reception. There
is not much rivalry between the pro-
Prietors OF the several hotels here 10
secure the presence OF the king and hi-
suite at their respective establishments
during his visit here.
