SENATORIAL PE(NISGS.

1t is not everybody who is posted

and hence it is that we reproduce the
subioined curious statement from the

1t seems that each Senator Uses in a
session of four months ten rcams of

say nothing of gold ones. eight boxes

There is 4 good deal of twaddie i'll
the Carson Tribune and Reno Crescent
of Ate about the independence of the
farmers. Why all of this affection for
the agriculturalists of the State? In
what way have they ever been OPP
pressed? WHO is it, or what party is
it, that has betrayed them? We admit
that they are a Very worthy, i'll
dustrious class of people, but if they
are entitled to any more consideration
than any other equal number of ci:i-
zens, we have failed to observe it.
The truth is, that by means of the high
freight rates that have been maintained
by the railroad, they are the only class
in the whole State whose interest has
been protected. No intelligent farmer
who has hay or grain or Hour to sell
will object to the cxorbitant charges
of the railroad. 1t is this Identical state
Of facts which gives him the best home
market i'll the civilized world. The
miners and other classes of business
men in this State may well cry out
against the monopoly, but not the
farmer. 1t is the mining interest ofthe
State which langui>hes for the want of
cheap transportation, and it is
to this interest that we must
look for the accomplishment
of those wholesome reforms i'll
railroad management which are so
much needed. Mining communities
want their machinery and general sup
plies at the lowest possible rates,
and this they will demand in
thunder tones at the approach

few people in this State who are en-
