A BILL hos been introduced in the
Nevada Legislature for the regulation OF
freights and fares, setting forth maxi
mum tariff for the carriage Of goods and
passengers. The subject is difficult
one, requiring the wisest counsels Of the
keenest wits in the Legislature. The
scale of rates proposed in the bill should
be carefully adjusted according to the
best information possible to be attained
Contenting ourselves with making g
comment on the passenger rate, six cents
per mile, as proposed by the bill. seems
exorbitant. -Four cents per mile should
be the outside rate permitted to b.

FENCING RAILROAD TRAcKs.-A bill
has been introduced into the Legislature
requiring the fencing Of railroad tracks.
Better compel the railroads to pay their
fair share of taxes as Governor Bradley
recommends, and also make determined
effort to prevent discrimination against
Nevada in the matter of freight and
fares. While the legislature is poking
after the shadow, it will lose the sub
stance, and in so dleeiilg will proceed on
the usual Path of all legislatures. A
good deal of use fence would be, would

along the sink of the Carson and Hum

The Society of Friends are most
estimable and useful portion of the COM
munity; but, like the rest of folks, they
as well as Others may have fancies and
notions that are not well grounded.
Among other things. they indulge the
idea that they understand the manage
ment Of Indians, and for the last few
years have had potential voice 10 con-
Quoting the affairs of the Indian Depart
ment. The result is that it is more ex-
pensive than ever, more settlers massa-
cred, and the Indians more dissatisfied
than ever The Friends had much better
quit and let Sheridan try his hand, We
are sure he will make better record as
an Indian fighter than dragooning his
fellow citizens in the South.

A SORRY JOKE AND Silly JEsTER.-
The Virginia Enterprise being an intense
ly partizan journal. we expect it to say a
great many things that are discreditable,
but we thought that its imagined fealty
to its party would not cause ito so for for.
get itself as to make the subject of some
silly bnffoonry the grave and unhappy
events that have lately occurred in
Louisiana. To make sport of the
troubles, the grievances and misfor-
tunes of our fellow citizens, is
surely a sorry joke, md all those who
do it are beneath the contempt of all
right-thinkipg members of the COM
munity. Not only that, but events have
occurred in the last few days that have
filled with alarm the best citizens of the
country throughout the land. All dis
tinctions of party have been forgotten
and prominent men, and the better por-
ton Of the press, forgetting all political
differences, have come forward spon-
taneously to utter their protest against
the most dangerous invasion Of constitu-
tional liberty that has occurred in the
history of the Republic. This is the
record of the day. and yet the circum-
stances which have caused so much dis
may, indignation and regret, our Sage.
brush Thunderer only finds to be the
source OF as sorry, as pointless and IN
timely jest as would be uttered by a
drunken intruder in an assemblage
where the best, the bravsst and wisest
were taking counsel under conditions Of
imminent danger and difficulty.

The letter OF Rev.. Mr.. Brooks resignlnS

and merely siguited his desire to leave

have tended to bring about this resignation,
the greatest of which is to be found IN the
election of the Rev. DR.. Dckoven to the
bishopric Of Illinois. Rev. Mr.. Brooks is
broad churchman, and has no leaning to-
