The most exciting question that
has engaged the attention of the
Nevada Legislature since it elected
Sharon to the United States Senate,
seems to have been what is called
the safeguarding bill, which has
been vigorously opposed by q pow
erfui lobby, representing the gam
ing fraternity, and also by several
members of the Legislature who
seem to have been retained in the
same interest. 1t is said that the
gamblers raised a corruption fund
of $4,000 to be used in the Legis-
isture. The bill passed the House
and went to the Senate, where it
was amended so as to require all
gambling establishments to pay a
uniform license of $500 throughout
The state, and making the license on
keno equally high with the license
ON faro and roulette; while in the
Assembly the license on keno had
been fixed at lesser sum. As
semblyman Van Hagen strennously
opposed the Senate amendment,
contending that it would work
grea: injustice on the smaller
counties of the state where, VIC
Anppose from Mr.. Van Hagen's re.
MARKS. keno is q moro popular
branch of ipdustry than faro. The
House refused to concur in the
Senate amendment, which, it is as
serted, was simply for the purpose
of killing the bill.

ADEAD INDUSTRY.

The grassboppers have destroyed
something more than corn aud cord
wood. They have slaughtered the
most important industry In Kansas,
-offlce-seeking.
In all former years, official fees
and salaries have been g. eatly ouI
of proportion to the productive cap
itaI OF the state. Offices were num-
erous and lucrative; and every man
who felt too refined in his tastes TO
soil his fingers, has sought office.
Our people are too often constitu.
tionally tired and organIcally gentee'
There are plenty of men in the
state who can soar after the infinite
and dive after the unfathomable,
but who won't hoe potatoes.
Therefore office-seeking has been a
destructive mania. Every year,
each county has been overrun by a
swarm of place-hunters, rushing
wildly into every home, and clam
Oring for votes, until the entire per
Torrance became nauseating. More
money and time were each year de-
voted for canvassing for votes, than
the offices were worth.
The Legislature of 1875 has done
some good things but it has already
uprooted tho mightiest industrial
employment of Kansas. Official
fees and perquisites are reduced to
a pitiful minemum, that no one
will waste much time in seeking
them henceforth.
The fact is that we have been
governed too much, have paid too
high taxes, and trusted to every
thing but legitimate work as a
means of acquiring wealth. Office
seeking, with its two companion
employments, land speculation and
the town-site business, is dead.
a new era has dawned upon
Kansas. Spades are trumps. The
age of Office-hunting, of rushing in
to business with no capital but
cheek, of voting bonds, heaping up
taxes, and universal loAfing, is over.
The age of solid, legitimate indus
try, of corn, cattle, pork, aud deep
blowing has come. The sun is
shining on the grange. Let's all go
to work.

Few of our readers are probably
aware of the immense extent to
which the poor in this city make
use of loans from the pawnbrok-
ers' shops. There are in New
York and Brooklyn some 400 OF
thess, and in Jersey city and Ho
boken 60. They advance to the
poor during each year, some 81,
100000. These loans are usually
for thirty days, and the rate OF in
terest is from 8 to 10 per cent, per
month. She article pledged for
the loan is usually three times the
value OF the sum lent, and is very
often neved redeemed, owing to
the distress Of poverty of the per-
son borrowing. If the interest is
from 8 to 10 per cent per month, it
will be seen that the pawnbrokers
make some 100 per cent. on their
loans, or about 81, O00, 900 annual
ly from the poor; and it is not i'm
propable that they get as much
more from the sale of articles
pawned.-New York Times.
