A CHINESE DESPERATE.

The Reno Gazette of Thursday evening tells
the following
Last Tuesday morning a Chinese cook,
formerly in the employ of Mrs. Charles Cour
tois asked that lady to give him eight dollars,
which she of course refused to do. Mr.. COur
tots was at that time in Truckee, and the
Celestial took advantage of this fact to press
his claim He coolly informed her that if
she did not pay him the money by two
o'clock yesterday afternoon that he would kill
her and her two little children with knife
which he produced. Mr.. Courtois returned
last night from Truckee and was informed by
his wife what had happened, but he could
not believe that the Chinaman would carry
out his threat and only meant to brighten her.
During the night some one fired a pistol
under his window, but Mr. Courtois fearing
that it was the Chinaman attempting to draw
him from his room to the outside allowed the
discharge to go UNDECIDED. Yesterday after
noon the Chinaman came around as he prom
ised, but the presence of a man produced a
change in his determinations. He was taken
before Justice Richardson, but there his
hitherto fair knowledge of English suddenly
left him. The Justice concluded that
nights rest and reflection might refresh his
memory of English, so John found storage i'll
the County Jail last night. This afternoon
at l o'clock he was brought before Justice
Richardson for trial.

GOVERNOR NICHOLAS POSITION

1t is stated by Governor Nichols, or at
least so reported by telegraph, that he has no
sympathy with the prosecution of the Re
turning Board, and that he ought not to be
held responsible for it. This is probably true,
as it is said to have been part of the ''bargain'
made by Southern Democrats with Hayes
friends, that in consideration of the with
drawal of troops from Louisiana, there should
be no prosecution for past political offenses i'll
the State 1t is also stated that only Bourbon
Democrats and straight Republicans of the
Conkling stripe seem to favor the investigation
of the acts of the Returning Board by the
courts, and this statement appears to be well
founded. Hayes Republicans and chivalric
Democrats, of the Lamar and Hill kind, are
opposed to prosecuting Wells and Anderson.
That the Administration which claims to be
in favor of thorough reform, not only in the
Government, but III the management of party
affairs, should oppose an investigation for the
purpose of determining to what extent, if any
the returns of State election has been tam
pered with, seems little inconsistent. If the
Returning Board has been guilty of the
ofenses charged against it, the present trial
must result III the acquital of its members
and clear them from the lmputatlOn of having
altered the returns and cheated the majority
out OF their Just rights. If, on the contrary,
Improves that they have been guilty as charged,
surely reform Administration cannot do
otherwise than appaove the verdict and com
mend the men who were instrumental in
prosecuting and pusishing the offenders. 1t
to be very bad taste for would be model
Republicans and Democrats, who are ever
lastiugly clamoring for reform in politics, to
object TO the prosecution of men who stand
accused before the world, of subyortin@ the
will Of the people, and making the elective
franchise a farce and mockery, by changing
returns to suit themselves regardless of the
popular majority. The Returning Board
members are being defended by able counsel,
and tried Icy jury composed of equal num-
bers of men on both parties, and every good
citizen should rejoice that there is now an
opportunity of asceltaning the truth Of the
alleged fraudulent count i'll Louisiana. Sill

A TARIFF ON TYPE.

OF an important question concerning the
printing fraternity the Bulletin of recent
date has the following: "The new tariff bill
fixes the duty on news and book type at Is
cents a pound, which is from 40 to so per
cent ad valorem. The rate on job and fancy
type is 80 cents a pound, which is from so to
100 per cent. adj valorem. The annual duties
collected under the present rates did not ex-
coed $4,000. Under the rate now proposed,
the duties would probably be prohibitory, a
result which could only be desirable to the
proprietors of the dozen type foundries i'll the
United States. There are 10000 print ng
offices in this country which employ not less
than l2O, 600 men, against the 700 employed
in the dozen foundries. There is some com
petition at present on the part CT the Scotch
type founders, who pay duties on their imports
and claim to sell better article at the same
prices as American type is sold. The type
foundries i'll this country have been doing
well under the old tariff. 1t is quite evident
that they do not need an additional prorection.
\ tariff which cuts off revenue is not desir
able. The present tariff puts about $40, 900 a
year in the public treasury from the sale of
foreign type. This competition is far more
desirable than prohbitory tariff. The latter,
while it would cut of revenue, would have
the effect to increase further the price of type
i'll this country, because all foreign conpe-
tition would be shut out. The 1900 print
ing offices in the United States have consider
able interest in the question. No doubt the
type foundries would gain an important point
by a prohibtory tariff But would this
private gain be of any benefit to the country
Would not the effect be to produce livelier
competition between the type foundres of the
United States!

THE RENO IRRIGATION SCHEME.

Says the Reno Journal of Friday "Some
months ago several of our citizens dubbed to-
gether and located 1000 acres of land in this
county under the provisions of the so-called
Desert Land Law, with the intention of
expending about $50, 900 to comply with its
provisions. This land is north of Reno and
covers Spanish Springs and Warm Springs
Valleys, two of the prettiest valleys on the
Coast. 1t order to comply with the law to
hold the land it will be necessary to bring i'll
ditch from the Truckee large enough to flow
from ten to fifteen thousand inches of water
The ditch starts from Bronco, and it will cost
nearly 5000, 900 to perform the work of bring
ing it in. Within the last day or two the
scheme has assumed new shape, and such a
shape that work will be commenced in a
month or two and continued till the gigantic
undertaking is pushed to a successful COM
pletion, which will be of immense benefit to
Reno, Washoe county and the State of
Nevada. Messrs. Bragg, Kinkead, Chamber
lain, Fulton, Higgins, Hayden, and others of
wealthy and energetic Coleman Brothers, of
Grass Valley. together with Hon. J. H. Netf,
of COlfaX, and two or three other capitalists,
compose the new company, which is to do the
work herein referred to. Their project is a

GRAND PAIzE ORE.-The Elko Independent
of Wednesday has the following:
We have been shown some gold ore taken
from the lower level of the Grand Prize mine
few days ago, which is just little ahead of
anything i'll that line that we have seen lately.
A good sized chunk of the precious was
sent down here to our breezy acquaintance,
Bill Weed, assays from which showed its
value to rate at over an hundred dollars to
the pound. The pure metal is visible, and
literally covers the specimen all over; i'll fact
it is a specimen of gold interspread with
quartz If some good Samaritan would ap-
preciate "our' necessities to the extent of

WASHINGTON, d. G., March 3l.-The
caucus Of Republican senator's yesterday
resulted in formal action. Ii appears
from views expressed ~ senators that
while they concede that the speech OF
Senator Howe delivered week ago is
mainly just in its structures on the
course OF the administration, they can
see 10 propriety In recalling past events
in Louisiana and elsewhere, and OF mak>
ing direct issue with the president, and
they are also agreed that the so-called
civil service reform Is a deception and O
failure. They, therefore, think that the
Republicans should strive to strengthen
their party irrespective OF what the
president may say or do, and they
point to the late election in New
Hampshire to show that it resulted in
favor OF Republicans apart from any con-
administration. They are of the opinion
that II would be better to approve of
such measures as they can in the future
rather than oppose the president for
what has already been done by him in
his southern Cancellation policy and other
measures which do not meet with Res
publican approval. Besides to make an
open issue with the president would bene-
| ut the Democratic party to the injury OF
the Republican party. They say they
| can do nothing no matter what indepen>
dent course the president may think pro.
per to pursue. At the same time they
do not lmpute dishonesty Of purpose to
the president, and see some
things 10 his administration to
approve; but they doubt the wisdom OF
much OF his so-called policy. AS COM
mittee Of Senators appointed by o caucus
heretofore called on the President with
regard 10 appointments, etc., and failed
to come TO an understanding. II Is con>
sidered useless again 10 appI zach him in
similar way as the president acts indie
pendently OF senatorial advice or confer
ence. tits known that the president on
that occasion regarded the call as a mere
personal matter and as Of no public in>
terest and therefore he was not disturbed.
Under all circumstances the Repub>
lican senator's do not think II wise to
take an active part against the president,
but to do the most they can for the in
terests oftheir party, remarking that the
president has three more years to serve.
