The Reno Journal learns Of some very
important changes contemplated by the
Central Pacific Railroad, all to go into ef-
feet next spring. The overland trains will
be run at much greater speed, the time
between San Francisco and Omaha being
shortened twenty hours. The trains will
leave San Francisco at 4 O'Clock in the af-
ternoon, instead Of 8 in the morning, as
now. 1t will arrive there at 2 o'clock P. NJ,
or nearly four hours earlier than at pres
ent. The new route. via Benicia and the
straits, will be the road over which trains
will be run between San Francisco and
Sacramento, and that trip is to be made in
less than four hours. As soon as these
changes are made, the lightning train be-
tween Reno and San Francisco will be
pulled of, and the company thereby saved
$50, 00O per year. But the overland trains
will be run on present lightning time,
so that the western part Of the State will
be disconnected by reason Of the with
drawal of the fast train. These changes
will probably bring the E~ast-bound train
to Palisade about 10 o'clock A. NJ, and our
local train to Eureka by 4 o'clock P. NJ.
The down train would have to leave here
about 8 o'clock in the evening to connect
with the overland West-bound train.

CURIOUS CONTEMPT CASE.

Murder very often brings men before the
bar of a court for trial and sentence. But
it very rarely brings them into contempt
Of court. Warren Tate was recently fined
500 0 by Judge Burns, in the Supreme
Court of Indianapolis, for the murder Of
William Love. Love had given evidence
in q suit to which Tate was a party. After
Love had left the stand he walked into the
corridor. He and Tate quarreled over his
testimony. Tate ended the matter by
shooting Love, who died in a few hours.
Judge Burns at once issued a rule against
the murderer, citing him to appear and
answer why he should not be punished
for contempt. His answer was unsatisfac-
tory, and the Judge fined the prisoner $10,-
600. His Honor said that witnesses are
brought into court by compulsory process.
They are often put to great inconvenience.
They are under the protection of the court.
The murder of a witness in the presence
and hearing Of the court lie an aggravated
contempt Of the authority Of the court, and
he would therefore make the punishment
exemplary.

ANoruER VIEW OF THE CASE.

Remarks the Stock Exchange: 1--WE
have already at some length, in our jour
nal, criticised the brilliant views about
revenue, as set forth in the farcial report
Of the Committee upon Revenue. and Taxa
ton, made at the Convention on Novem-
Der 18th. There is n source Of revenue
set forth in that extraordinary document
which requires a little more ventilation.
1t is. that Section No. 2, which provides
that all corporations hereafter organized
''shall pay into the State Treasury one
hundred dollars on the first fifty thousand
dollars or less Of capital stock, and q fur
Their sum Of twenty dollars additional for
every additional ten thousand dollars Of
such stock" etc. In o few words, il the
stock is Of par value nominal Of 500 per
share, it makes each corporation pay into
the State Treasury twenty cents per share
for zach share of its nominal value. Take
the three corporations known as the Cali
Con. Virginia and Sierra Nevada
Mining Companies, and they would have
to pay, under such a constitutional pro-
over $500, 900 into our State Treas
ury for organizing in this city or State"

The Baltimore Gazette says Alexander
II. Stephens now weighs ninety-two
pounds, a Democratic gain of two pounds.
Mr.. Hayes recently lost the small fragment
of backbone which was hidden by his coat
collar. In making up the tables these
gains and losses should not be overlooked.

A little way over our Canadian border o
live daughter Of a live Queen is to reside
hereafter. Already fiunkydom is agog over
the matter. To be presented at the Cana
dian Court is to be o distinction greatly
coveted by weak-minded persons who ape
the manners of foreign missionaries.
As to the young couple. the Marquis of
Lorne and Louise, his wife-the daughter
Of Queen Vitcoria-who have come over to
the new Dominion to govern it, everybody
must wish them we'll, as we wish all young
people well. But they are no better and
no worse than thousands Of other people
who lay no claim to royalty.
We are not partial to the forms Of hered-
itary aristocracy, because the tendency Of
their prevalence is to encourage and estab-
lish the reality. We hope that most Of our
people will manifest that degree Of indiffer-
ence to the new Canadian Court which
their customary good sense would dictate.
SAYS the Grass Valley Union: ut would
seem as If the Constitutional Convention,
or q portion thereof, was counting opposi-
ton to the instrument they are framing ;
for if they succeed in disturbing the
acquired rights Of canal companies and in
taxing the stock Of mining interpretations,
they will array the mining counties in
opposition; if they attempt to limit the
extent of ownership in agricultural lands,
the hostility of the farmers will be in
Cured; and il the Constitution is to say
that there shall be no sliding scale in rail-
road rates, then the whole railroad inter-
est Of the State will fight 1t. With these
elements all in opposition. whore is the
support to the new Constitution to come

Sugar IN ArLzoGG.

Pauocha-brown sugar in cakes
of excellent quality, and manu-
featured at the ranch Of Redondo
Brothers, is offered for sale at sew
eral stores in town There IS quite
a local demand for it. Sugar-cane
grows well in al the valleys Of
Southern Arizona, yielding alarge
percentage Of saccharjne matter.
These facts have been fully set
tied by extensive experiments
during the past three o. fouryears'
The only thing TO hazard the
profitable growth Of sugar here
on q large scale, is the alkaline
character Of much Of the soil in
The valleys Of ella and SaItrivers,
as well as Of their waters. This
alkali-soda and potash-is taken
up by the cane, expressed with the
juice and remains with the sugar
on boiling down, giving the sugar
q salty flavor. We can ofer q few
suggestions for neutralizing this
effect. Calcjned sulphate Of lime
(burned gypsum or alabaster) ap-
piled 10 the soil may combine the
the salts Of potash and soda into
sulphates not absorbed by thecane,
leaving the lime free to form 9TH
er combinations. Or, the alkalInity
Of the cane-juice may be neutral
lied By adding a proper proper
ton Of acid, say sulphuric, deter
mined by experiment. Il al else
fails, the juice can be distilled in
70 4 prime article Of Jamaica or
Santa Cruz rum, and its molasses
into New England or Medfcrd:
no alkaIi leaves the still. But we
believe thai sugar viii yet form .
staple product Of these valleys.
