TO MS utmost ptcn, and he ran close alter Spring

them, Preakness following at striking dis

but his jockey at The hal.lnile pole had TO remind

must not attempt to shorten his stride

compelled or want Of funds, to take in tue crib

olarss subject Ito local, State, or Ter
ritorial taxation tho lands OF the Pa
cinc Railroads from the timo thcy be-
came entitled to them, Irrespective OF
tho time Of the issue OF patents" In
other words, III we correctly appre-
hend this language the bill makes sub
ject to taxation In Nevada the lands
granted to tho Central Pacific Rail-
road within our State limits from the
time when tho several sections Of that
road were accepted by the Govern
mens Commissioners, and when under
the law the right to apply for patents
to the lands donated. accrued to the
Railroad Company /; or. In short. IL
authorizes the several counties on the
line OF tho Central Pacific Railroad,
10 tax all lands claimed by the
road within their county limit,
whether or not the company has
applied for or received patents to the
lands. Thl, Is a law emlnently just
aud proper. We do not know whose
fault IL Il that the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company has not perfected its
title and patented Its lands. That
company claim that the trouble arises
In tho Washington Land onlee and
that they have been aud are ready TO
accept patents for their land donation.
The opponents OF the company declare
that the reason why the railroad com-
pany has not applied for aud obtained
II. patents Is because 1t wished to
avoid payment OF taxes thereon. This
bill, while it will not settle the ques-
ton Of ysraci;y, will effect simple

This is but simple justice. These land'
are now held for tho benefit o'

rhcy Increased their compensation
for risks In proportion to tho
hazard, a method generally adopted
and obviously based on sound business
principles. But as regards compensa-
tlsn for the losses thereafter sustained,
we fall to see why they are moro en-
titled to reimbursement for rlsks COW
cred BY this extra, than for those COW
cred by ordinary premiums. liza ves-
sci goes to sea covered by a three per
cent. policy and Is lost, the insurance
company taking the risk suffers the
damage. Why then should the value
OF a vessel assured against depreciation
by English cruisers at twenty per
cent. premium be made good to the
companies, who charged the extra pre-
miums for taking the additional haz-
ard Of her capture or destruction BY
the Alabama. Shenandoah, or other
English pirstlcal crafts? They took
the risk for the premium charged. IL
was not emily the ordinary risk OF
marine disaster, but tho add.
tional one Of capture or destruction
by p~rlyateers. For taking this extra
hazard they received a premium which
without 1t would have been sxtortlon-
ate and could not have been obtained.
1t certainly seems that they should
bear the losses on tho risks they vol
sntsrily assumed, and for which they
received large compensation when the
policies wero issued. An exchange
