Destructive Fire at Iowa Hill.
Iowa HILL, Cal, Ang. 8.
About l o'clock yesterday the Par
ker House was discovered to be on
fire. The fire had gained such head
way that it was useless to attempt
to stop it and the attention of all was
turned to saving what they could from
buildings within the limits where it's
progress could be stayed. Scarcely
anything could be saved from the Par
ker House. The fire spread so rapidly
that much household furniture was
lost in other buildings burned. Ten
dwellings and the Methodist Church
we're burned. The loss is estimated at
twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars.

GEO. H. WILLARD.-By reference 10
our advertising columns, under the
head of "New To-day" it will be seen
that George H. Willard, formerly OF
this place, has opened a stock brokers'
Office at 300 California street, in San
Francisco. MI. Willard is well and
f&vorably known in Eastern Nevada,
and an acquaintance of twelve years
justifies US in recommending him as a
thorough going business man and a
gentleman of strict integrity, and we
take pleasure in assuring such of our
readers as may have any business in
his line.that a more reliable agent can
not be found within the limits Of San
Francisco or any other city.

A MODEL JUDGE.-Virginia City is
blessed, or "bothered," with a police
Judge named Cox. A few days ago a
fellow walked deliberately into the
Silver Palace Saloon and attempted to
shoot a man who was sitting in a chair.
Although not succeeding in accom-
plishing his murderous design, he did
succeed In shooting one b%ystander
through the hand and woundiny an
other in the head SO badly that serious
fears are entertained for his recovery.
He was taken before Justice Cox, who,
after a consultation with the prisonerin
& back room, came out and allowed
him to plead guilty to a charge of as
sault and battery, for which he inhict-
ed a fine of forty dollars. The fellow
paid his fine and is now enjoying the
invigorating breezes. Of Lake Bigler,
while one of his victims is confined to
his bed with a delirious fever, from
which it is doubtful whether he will
ecover. Such a judge would breed a
vigilance committee in any well regu-
lated community in less time than it
takes an egg to hatch.

may be accounted for by the fact that
all the basins and most of the lakes
were empty, while rank vegetables in
the bottom retarded the flow of water

by absorption and evaporation. IN

THE NEW DEPARTURE OF THE
RAILROAD.

We learn from our western dispatch
es that the new departure of the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad, with reference to
the delivering of Eastern freights in
this State. is ever worse than the old
order of things. To begin with, the
70 rule only applies to places tribu-
tary to Reno, making no change what
ever as regards points further east.
We can't exactly get the meaning of
the new programme as given to the
public from semi-official sources, but if
it is destined to operate half sc disas-
trously as the Enterprise and the Reno
Democrat appear to think it will, we
may well congratulate III people that
it does not also EN- brace the Great East.
As neal as we can understand the stu
alton, it is about this: People will be
alio we'd to take their goods from the
trains at Reno by paying full through
rates to Sacramento and local rates
from Sacramento back TO Reno. This
is precisely what they do now, and the
only change proposed is to allow the
Railroad to charge for six or seven
hundred miles of transportation which
it does not perform. This is all there
is in the proposition, if we except that,
by the new arrangement, shippers will
get their merchandise a week or ten
days earlier than formerly. The peo-
pie of Nevada, since it is to their inter
est, owing to their geographical posi-
ton, might yield with some degree of
grace to a system of through rates. with
their goods dropped off at convenient
points as they passed west, but they
can never be brought to realize the
justice of the plan just promulgated by
the Railroad management. 1t ought
to be enough to get the full tariff u
way, more particularly when it is
taken into the count that the Railroad
is then being paid for a very large
share of service which il does not per-
form; but when the company under
takes to tax us through rates and then
saddles us with an additional burden
of back charges on the basis of local or
way rates, we must join with our con-
temporaries in pronouncing the scheme
not only i~ntolerable, but monstrous.

il is refreshing to be informed for about
the fortieth time by the Herald, as we are
in its issue of yesterday, that the "Third
Term is ''dead at last" This time the
Democrats killed it in Connecticut. Con-
sidering that it never had any real exist
ence, except in the maggoty brain OF that
journal, its death may easily have been at
any time within its compass without re-
sort to the subterfuge of pinning it upon
the result in Connecticut. But now we
are told emphatically that the 'Third-
Term agitation is at an end" As it was
exclusively the property of the Herald, the
offspring of its Imagination, or hideous
nightmare, conjured up by its unholy aspi-
rations no one can well object to its being
exIed to oblivion by the fat of its creator.
But the self-complacency with which the
Herald proceeds to Congratulate the
country that it has passed out of Ameri-
"can politics" is really ludiCrous. The
great American prestidigitateur hurled this
Third Term bugbear into American poll
tics at will about two years ago, and has
Just as solemnly thrust it out after
each election, in which it bore no
significant part whatever, and now,
with prestoric flourish, again tells
us it is gone. This is on the principle of
biology. The necromancer says otis
there, and his disciples all see it. Again,
he says, otis not there, and they can see
nothing of it. We should feel disposed to
be quite satisfied with this last assurance of
the Herald that the thing els dead" and
that Kit is out of American politics." were
it not for this last sentence in the article of
the great necromancer: "The question now
"is whether the Republican party will in
"sist upon carrying Grant, and in doing
$50 go with him into utter and irretrieva-
"ble ruiH." Is not this a saving clause?
Does not this look as if the magician in
tended after all to reserve his "Third- Term
trick" for a future exhibition? We are
not very plucky on wager, but in the
light of this last sentence we do not think
the hazard would be great ventured upon
the reproduction of this "dead" stale trick
before the next autumn's elections are fairly
over. Who will take US?

CAUSE OF FREaUENT SUICIDES


We hear frequent illusions to the rapid
increase in the number of cases of self-de-
struction in the city Of New York. Many
have sought in vain for the cause. Some
have striven to blame it upon the. moon;
others have essayed to prove that it is due
entirely TO the comet; still another class
have attributed it to the transit of Venus
while an immense majority are of the
opinion that it may justly be charged to
the use of alcoholic stimulants. We are
sorry to be compelled honestly to differ
with all these respectable authorities. But
we must. Our devotion to truth demands
it. We believe in statistics. Our conf
dence in statistics is wholly unimpaired,
and 'Old Statistics" has demonstrated
beyond a doubt that all recent suicides
have been occasioned either directly or
primarily by reading the New York Sun.
We demurred at first TO the old fellows as
sertion, but he was ready with his mathe
NAUTICAL demonstration. Ofcourse we were
obliged to succumb. He first proved that
there had not been a single pleasant, joy
full article or paragraph in that paper dur
ing the last two years and half. But it is
sold cheap and the poor people read it. 1t
begets gloom and dependency. Each and
all its articles points in the same direction.
All is sin, sorrow and corruption
on the one side, or honesty, virtue,
purity, and poverty on the other.
All is discouraging and provocative of
blue devils. Its tone is that of the Police
Court, and its vocabulary that of the Po-
lice Gazette. If it had been published
when God made the world its columns
would have charged the Creator with cor
ruption in fitting up Paradise for our first
parents. There is nothing cheering ever
finds its way into its columns. You al
ways feel after reading it just as you used
to feel when as a Sunday school scholar
you had taken a forbidden peep into the
Arabian Nights" or "Bocaccio's Decam-
eron" on Sunday-you feel mean-as if
sitting upon the ragged edge of despair.
You feel guilty, too, of having been in bad
company, and inhaled the foul breath of a
common slanderer, promiscuous libeler
of everybody. 1t appears to be the rule Of
the paper never to speak well OF anybody
living. Its writers must all be confirmed
dyspeptics. They scatter the disease
through its columns. Any man must feel
very much like suicide always just after
pcrusing it. Some succumb to the feeling
sooner than others, but, added old Stats
tics, ''it is only question of time about
"killing all its constant readers"
"Why," said he, in conclusion, ''it is
"curious fact that of all the suicides re-
"corded during the last two years in the
vicinity of New York ninety-nine one
"hundredths of the number have been
constant readers of the Sun for few
"days previous to the commission of the
"fatal act, and most Of them had the foul
"sheet about their persons when death ex-
"ecuted his commission" Could we doubt

THE inquiry is made by the Nevada En-
tsrprise, How many people in the couh-
&c try, who abuse Gen. Schenck for his al
"leged poker-playing, are themselves igno-
rant of the gamer" Referring to the
class of editors who have INDUCED in this
abuse, the Enterprise asks whether after
writing something mean about the mat
".ter, as if it was shame and :reproach to
the country, they do not, as a rule, repair
to the nearest bit whisky shop, and. put
ting down their little antos, continue the
d" game until the proprietor closes the house;
{" leaving their wives at home to split wood
&c for the fire, draw the water for the tea,
" spank The babies good night, and then
val for their husbands until the stars
" begin to fade in the dawn. Certain it Is
that the editors on this coast who have
" had most to say about Schenck are men
who are experts at the game, and who
would. if they could, win and take the
last shirt from their opponents back.
Morality in theory is lavish and beau
tiful thing in practice the rule seems to
be that it is more generous to encourage
the grace in ones neighbor than to try
@ 10 practice it." There is more truth than
poetry in this latter observation.

whole matter is presented in very plain manner.
He lays before hts superior Officer the IInmense
difficulties that lie in his way in the collection Of
the ten per cent. income tax decrsed in April last,
and also the two and half per cent. tax on capt
tai Imposed in July, and declares that IL VIII not
be wise or prudent for the Government to rely
upon these sources for funds to carry on the war.
In lieu Of the two taxes named, the Director-Gen-
erAl Of Finances proposes, as reader and better
means Of raising resources, q tax Of ffteen Der
cent in gold, or the equivalent in Spanish papers
at the rate to be fixed by the Government, upon
net income or earning, which he considers equal
to the hye per cent. on capital which he proposes
to abolish The plan Of the Director General was
adopted and made q law by a governmental de-
cree dated the LIST Of the present month. 1t is
now the duty OF the financial agent In Cuba to
put the law in execution and collect the new taxes
as we'll as those remaining unpaid under the old
system. At that point the real dithculttes will
begin. The people have been taxed until they
are tired. 1t Is not one or the other plan Of taxa
tiOn that they object to in such serious manner.
1t is being taxed at all that they are contending
against, especially when the money thus Hrung
from business men passes into the hands OF ON
Gals who use it for private purposes. Ooncha left
Cuba with half q million dollars. Valmaseda
expects to realize about two millions of dollars
from the new decree. How much of that will
this ruler. In the meantime the Spanish troops
have not been paid and are deserving in vast num-
bers to the patriots. 1t is thing to levy taxes
in Cuba, but quite another TO collect them. This

YESTERDAY was the anniversary Of two
of the most important historical events of
this country. One was the centennial of
the organization of the first anti-slavery
society in America, and the other the tenth
anniversary of the assassination of the
lamented Abraham Lincoln, by whose act
and proclamation slavery in this country
was finally extinguished. The former
event was duly celebrated by large gath
ering in the City of Brotherly Love. The
latter, though still fearfully fresh in the
recollection of many Of our citizens, was
marked by no public recognition. The
Anti Slavery Society may well rejoice over
its labors, which were crowned with sue
cess after ninety years of toll, contumely
and bloodshed, which threatened at times
the national existence.
