THAT LECTURE.

Professor w. Frank Stewart gives
Eureka the cold shoulder. He is de-
livering a lecture in the western part
of the State on the Formation of veins
and the mining of the State
Of Nevada" He prefaces his lecture
by stating that be has visited every i'm
portant mining locality in Nevada, and
then goes on to enumerate what he
found in each. Eureka is something
of an important locality, being certain
ly No. 2 on the list, but, singularly
enough, the Professor, il correctly re-
ported by the papers, has not a word
to say about US. However, we pre-
sumo our great mines will continue to
yield just the same as though they had
not been overlooked by this renowned
scientist. Our prosperity may be tenn
porarily affected by the omission, but
we have strong hope that the injury
will not prove permanent. The lec-
lure was first delivered about ten days
ago, and up to this time there has been
no %perceptible falling off in our bullion
product, the daily output continuing
as usual, at about so tons. We are all
right to date, whatever may be in store
for us.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.
The Legislative week, which com
mences tomorrow, will probably be
more than commonly prolific OF inter-
estiDg matters in Congress. There is
considerable probability that debate
will be concluded and action taken by
the Senate on some of the pending
amendments to the Silver bill, and a
possibility that a final vote will he
taken on the bill itself before the expir-
alton OF this week. In the House there
will be an interesting and important
contest over the Military Academy
bill, which, as now reported from the
Committee, involves the question of
the propriety of making ON changes
in the general laws by means of propo-
sitions engrafted on the regular annual
appropriation bills. The defeat OF the
Appropriations Committee on this bill
is quite generally expected, as several
prominent Democrats, like Clarkson
and Potter, of New York, have already
minated their determination to oppose
such a monopoly OF power by the
Committee on Appropriations, and the
Republicans will continue to maintain
a solid front against its exercise.
The House Committee on Education
and Labor will hold another special
meeting tomorrow on the Chinese
question.

STATE CONVENTIONS.

The Reno Journal pronouuces in IA
vor of Eureka as the proper place for
the meeting of the Republican State
Convention. If the members Of the
State Central Committee from Washoe
tax the advice of the Journdtand favor
us, tue chances are more than even that
we get the convention. We shall have
something to say to the Democratic
Central Committee at the proper time
on the same subject. The Great
East has been going to the
West quite long enough. The
expense of attending a State
Convention is not inconsiderable.
This burden has been borne un-
complainingly by members OF
the respective parties in the east
ern part Of the State for years.
The writer Of this article has squsnd.
cred probably $1,000 in this sort of
party service during the last ten years.
1t is simply the fair thing for the West
to a q portion of these burdens.
We are, therefore, pleased to see a dis
position on the part of a portion of the
press of Western Nevada to do the
equitable thing by IS. We quote from
the Journal of the 2nd inst: Eureka
has put in q claim for the Republican
State Convention, and many strong
points are urged in her favor. We
think Eureka is justly entitled to it.
Elko, Reno. Winnemucca and Carson
have had it, in turn. And it would
not be fair to show either of those
places Partially as against Eureka.
Reno, it is true, would be a convenient
place, and could offer all necessary
Accommodations. But Reno has never
been selfish, and will not be in the
She never asks for anything to
which she is not entitled, and having
once been favored in this respect, lays
no claim to the Convention until her
turn comes around. Everything be-

good reason why Eureka should not
be the favored place this year, and we
hope it will be-"

FEATURE OF THE NEW
n

The new tariff bill, says the Bulletin,
fixes the duty on news and book type
at Is cents a pound. which is from 40 to
60 per cent. ad valorem. The rate on
job and fan type is so cents a pound.
which is from so to 100 per cent. ad
valorem. The annual duties collected
under the present rates did not exceed
100000. Under the rates now pro-
posed, the duties would probably be
prohibitory, a result which could only
be desirable to the proprietors of the
dozen type foundries in the United
States. There are 20. 900 printing offices
in this country, which employ not less
than 10000 men, against the 200 en-
ployed in the dozen type %fouudries.
There is some competition at present
on the part of the Scotch type found
ers. who pay duties on their imports
and claim to SELL a better article at the
same prices as American type is sold.
The type foundries in this country
have been doing well under the Old
tariff. 1t is quite evident that they do
not need any additional protection. A
tariff that cuts off revenue is not de-
sirable. The present tariff puts about
$4,000 q year in the public treasury
from the sale of foreign type. This
competition is far more desirable than
a p~rohibitory tariff. The latter, while
it wonld cut off revenue, would have
the effect to further increase the price
of type in this country, because all for
eign competition would be shut out.
The $1,000 printing offices in the United
States have considerable interest in the
question. No doubt the type foundries
would gain an important point by a
prohibitory tariff, but would this gain
be of real benefit to the country?
