'"O hioot bOuiltsb coIpOIdtlous III eAlbtenCe,
Let me give a few of the reasons why Ne
vadans especially SO regard it. Nevada
did her share nobly in securing the
Central Pacific, and see how she Is reward
cd Nevada merchants not only cannot
have goods brought 10 them from New
York at lower rates than San Franciscoans,
three or four hundred miles farther west,
get theirs, but ii costs US more than them,
for the overland road will not take freight
from the east 10 any station in Nevada.
| Stanford, the "boss" of the corporation,
declares openly that "the main feature of
bis grend continental railway system is dis
elimination in favor of San Francisco, and
go on any New York freight We must pay
the full rate Of Sc per hundred on
New York freight to San Francisco, aud
then the full local rates of from So to SO
from San Francisco TO the point in this
state where we may want it. There was
time, when the Passumpsic railroad had
its terminus at Newport, that Joel Fetch
er, who did very heavy business in flour
and grain at st. Johnsbury, found
it the cheapest way to have his cars of
grain or flour shipped from the west
through to Newport and then pay local
| freight back from Newport to st. Johns
bury. Competing lines proved COM
plete remedy for this unjust discrimination
and that is the only remedy to which We
Of Nevada can look with hope for deliver
ance from the soulless oppression of STAN
ford ~ Co., and must confess the pros
pect of an early change for the better is
not very bright. From this place to 60
east we connect via the Virginia and
| Truukeo railroad with the Central
Pacific at Reno. Reno is 1913 miles east
OF San Francisco, and yet, The fare to any
point east is exactly tho same that it is
from san Francisco. Just such discrimin-
alton as this ia made against any point on
the Pacific slope in favor of San Francisco,
and is 1t strange that, Stanford & Co. hay
ing gobbled up the Southern Pacific road
ia advance, the people of the whole coast,
| Nevadans who will not be benefited By it
Us well AS southern Californians who will
| be benefited by it, should favor the build
ing Of the Texas Pacific, known as Tom
SCOTS road? Especially is the Pacific
coast in favor of the guaranty of bonds by
government asked for by this road because
the road must be an independent one for
ever, the bill providing that it shall never
be leased or controlled by any other line,
and tina! congress shall have the exclusive
and perpetual right TO regulate the fare
and the freight charges. The government
is asked to guarantee tho interest on fifty
| years bonds, not - exceed S3j, 900 per
mile; which Endorsement is necessary to
float the bonds In foreign markets, go many
foreigners having been bitten by worthless
American railroad bonds. The government
in return is 70 have the first lien on the
road, telegraph, rolling stock, shops, fix
turea, and property of every kind. 1t has
the right to reserve all moneys due for pos
tai and telegraph services, or for military
| transportation, and the road is also to de-
pest 50, 600 in bonds for each mile of road
win the he bass s. o fsfpT VIII 40 81
harm to look at its provisions and compare
them with the enormous subsidies and land
grants already granted to other roads, with
no provisions in their charters to protect
the public.
DOM PEDRO.
When the emperor Of Brazil came to
New York desiring to be let alone and al
lowed 10 travel IN peace, the San Francisco
press set up howl about the insult he Of
ierred cur great American eagle, and said
il he had sent word to the government that
he wanted TO be let alone, it would have
been all right. In his simplicity he sup
posed an American newspaper meant what
IT aaid, and 40 he telegraphed to the Bra
lillian consul at San Francisco that he sis
travelling "a private citizen, and does not
desire military reception or demonstra-
ton of any kind" And now he will see
worse howl than ever. He will arrive
there tonight.
SAN FRANCISCO NEWSPAPERS.
In fact, the San Francisco press is more
addicted to bowling than that of New York
even, which is saying great deal. 1t is
like the drunken man going home in the
"Wee sms' hours" who said III Mary
Ann has gone to bed I'll Ticker tor not
sctlin' up an keepn' fire, n if she
amt gone to bed. III ticker for scttin' up
an burnn' lie" The loudest mouthed
bloaters of the San Francisco papers is the |
Chronicle. 1t has the largest circulation,
The most audacity, and is the greatest dem
agogue on the coast. The Call CLAIMS the |
largest circulation also, but hasn't got it, |
though think it is gaining on the CAroni- |
Gle. The Erening bulletin, owned by the |
same ptoprietors as the Cal, though entire |
ly under the management Of an independ- |
ent corps Of editors, leads the evening pa
pers. The Post has recently changed from
a democratic sheet to an independent, with
republican leanings.
PERSECUTION OF CHINESE.
In the water near San Francisco, lh'
fishing business has been monopolized by
the lowest and most desperate class of
Italians, and they have driven away oppo-
sition by fair means or foul. Many who
have ventured into the field have been
found drowned, and every one knows the
Italians were the murderers. but there was
no proof. Lately few Of the much per-
secuted Chinese have ventured into the
business, and the consequences are told in
the following dispatch received from there
last evening
Captain G. q. Moreno and a party OF Italian
fishermen Ia four boats proceeded to-day on |
mid among the Chinese stake nets OF San
Pablo bay, and before they desist viii make a
clean sweep OF all traps from San Quentin To
Carquinez Straits. Everything Will be done
legally and In compliance with the enactment
recently passed.
Thus we see the public sentiment and the
bowls of demagogical sheets like the
have caused state of affairs
the Chinese, whom we have used
every means to induce to come here and to
open this country to Americans, can be
prosecuted from branch OF honest indus
