CAN 1T BE REMEDIEDt

"Laborer" complains that there is
not. in the State OF Nevada, a respect
able business center, where people can
purchase what they require, and they
are. therefore. Obliged to get their
goods from California. This. to Ger
tain extent. is true. There is no bust
ness center in the State to which retail
dealers resort to select and purchase
goods. This, at first thought, appears
strange, when it is known that very
many of the goods, wares and merchan-
disc. purchased 10 California, are of
Eastern manufacture aud are shipped
by rail through the State of Nevada to
Sacramento or San Francisco and then
shipped back to this State; In fact ii in
dicates lack of enterprise on the part of
Nevada merchants, yet such is not the
case. The merchants OF Nevada, under
existing circumstances, cannot remedy
this state OF affairs. They are unable to
compete in the wholesale basiuess with
California, Notwithstanding the greater
part of the merchandise III which they
deal is shipped by their doors from
three to five handred mites further
west. and then shipped back again
The cause of this remarkably strange
state of fairs is Discrimination In
freight rates. The California mer-
chant gets, his goods laid at his store
four hundred miles west of here, a.
much cheaper rates than they are de-
liyered In Nevada. Were it not for
this .unjast discrimination business
center" would spriug up asst by magic
on the line of the railroad III this
State. Now, the question is, ''can this
be remedIed?" 1t appears as if it
might be. The Supreme Court of the
United States, has, we believe, decided
that state Legislatures have the exclu-
sivs rlght to regulate fares and freig hts
on railroads within the limits OF their
respective States. The time Cor nm
election In Nevada is now approaching,
and Legislature might be elected with
sufficient Independence TO work foi the
interests OF the people against corpora
tions. Why not make the question of
regulating railroad charges an issu. of
the next election?

THE RESULT PREDICTED.
WAsRINaToN, Feb. %.
The concurrence of the House on all
the Senate amendments to the silver
bill was an accordance with the predic-
tious of these dispatches, but by even
more than the two thirds vote fore
Swallowed. The test vote was on Hew-
it's motion to table the bill aud amepd-
ments. which resulted, yeas II, noes
2U4. Davis, in commoA with most So
called hard money members, voted to
table the bill, and amendments. All the
other Pacific coast representa- tives
voted for these amendments, but
against tabling the Till. A veto from
the President aud the fiual Enactment
OF the bill over the veto are both con-
sidered certain. In any event there Is
no doubt but that 1T viii become law
within the next III or IL legislative

morris ElnSteln is snort the price
of suit of clothes. 1t happened thus:
On Saturday evening, about 10 clock,
a strange young man entered the store,
and stated that he desired to buy
complete suit Of clothes. Of course
Morris was at home, with his reception
smile oD, and soon had the young man
completely rugged out from top to toe,
from hat to boots. He gave the young
man low prices, in fact, sold "by the
invoice" After getting fairly into his
new rig, the chap desired Morris to tie
up his old clothes, and while he was
at it, this fair young man with false,
false heart, slipped out the front door
and Skinned it down the street toward
the creek. Morris laid down that
bundle, and went after the misguided
youth, but alas, the gap was too great,
and he faded away in the gloom like
the baseless fabric of a vision. The
young man had stocked the cards,
dealt himself four aces, and raked in
the pot. Morris is out some twenty
five dollars by the transaction, and is
anxious for a new deal. He repre-
sented that he had been working on
Knox's job, but We believe this state
ment was slightly inaccurate.
The County Commissioners have
erected a neat fence on the wall in the
rear of the Court House. We are in
formed that it is their intention to
build a vault in the Commissioners
office, the same having been recon-
mended by two Grand Juries. The
recommendation we believe to be Q
good one. Certain it is that the books
and papers of that office are of great
value, and shold they be destroyed il
would be a great loss to the county
as we'll as the Taxpayers. By al
means let the vault be built.
-Circuses are travelling all around
US, but none have seen fit to stop here
which is undoubtedly a good thing fol
: the average citizen. 1t is not at al
likely, however, that We will get cleal
! through the season without a circus il
! town.

ROBERTS. 49, In Tionesta, on Saturday
evening, June 1st, 1873, Perry L., son of
w. ]. and Teresa Roberts, aged about 10
years.
The subject Of the above notice was
aling for something over week be-
fore his death, but'was not considered
seriously i'll until Friday last, when,
our home physicians being absent, DR..
Davis, of Oil City, was telegraphed
for. He arrived on Saturday morning,
and on seeing the patient at once pro-
nounced it case of smallpox. DIR.
Blaine arrived homo in the afternoon,
and took charge Of the case. Consid-
erable alarm was manifested through
out the day, and on Sunday morning
the community was shocked to learn
that Perry had died during the night.
II appears that he was feeling some
what better, and had been talking to
his father, expressing his regret that
he had brought into the family this
dangerous malady, and lamenting that
they had sent for his mother, who was
absent, at the sick bed of her moth
er. In the midst of his talk he put
his hands suddenly to his breast, and
remarked that he bad strange feel
ing there, and before his father could
get to him he was dead. DIR. Blaine
was sent for, but on his arrival at the
house he pronounced the young man a
corpse. He was buried on Sunday
morning by the family and few
friends, the neighbors not coming out
for fear of contagion. Excitement
was at its height during the day,-the
church was slimly attended, and nc
Sabbath School was held in the Pres.
byterian Church. 1t is not known
whether any one was exposed at time
when the disease was at a contagiou;
stage, but time will probably tell that
In the meantime, all precautions are
being taken to prevent the taking ol
spreading of the dread disease. The
school has been temporarily discontin
ued, aud the physicians are busy vac
cinating people of all ages. Dr. Blaine
informed US that he vaccinated upward
of fifty persons yesterday, when hi
virus was exhausted, and he wa
abliged to send for more, which hal
probably reached him by this time
The boro authorities are doing all il
their power to secure the town agains
the possibility of a general contagior
and it is to be hoped that We will hav
no more cases in town.
The deceased was a stout, robus
young man, and according to all hu
man presumption, was destined to liv
to an old age but strength and vita
ity appear to be of no avail when tn
disease attacks them.
The stricken family have the hear
felt sympathy of the entire community
