sroP DISCRIMINATION.
From the Enterprise.
Some RAJ Dad legislation is needed. We
fear it cot be completely lone save by
Act of s;n..gress; but the Legislature can
do much. What is most needed is to compel
railroads to be common carriers in the real
sense Of the term, and not close corpora
ions run on special contracts for the pur-
pose Of favoring a select class at the ex-
pense of the community. That is, rail-
roads should be compelled to stop discrim-
nations.
SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.
From the Reno Gazette.
The editor and proprietor Of a one horse
mining camp newspaper in Nevada has as
good a time as = man of fortune anywhere
else. He travels free everywhere, and gets
his meals for nothing and also notices in
every town he visits. The only expense he
is put to in publishing his newspaper is
for the setting Of the type. The scissors
do the rest, and earn for him the name of
a brilliant and painstaking journalist"
The outside world usually knows him as
Major or Colonel, although his only battles
have been with u%ngenerous hotel keepers.
A DANGER TO BE AVOIDED.
From the Elko Independent.
The fact is that the Legislators and
papers have been too tender-footed about
this matter, and for fear of being accused
of favoring the railroads, they have re-
Trained from pointing out the defects in
bills, and as a result there is great danger
that what legislation is had ON the railroad
question will be SO defective as to be mop
efatlye.
A DOUBTFUL MATTER.
From the Silver State.
1t is very doubtful, Notwithstanding all
that has been said in party platforms, and
by stump speakers to the contrary, if a bill
will he passed, this season, reducing fares
and freights.
wEARIsoME OCCUPATION.
From the Carson Appeal.
A man gets rather tired picking up news
papers published in new mining districts,
and reading column-accounts of their in-
exhaustible wealth, while he reflects that he
gave a half-dollar the day before to an i'm
pecunious wretch, who had just walked
out Of the much-puffed locality described.
RIvETING THE FETTERs.
From the Reno State Journal.
Sixteen hundred men are at work on the
Southern Pacific Railroad in Arizona. The
money that keeps these men at work is
principally wrung from the people of this
State by the villainous extortions practiced
by the c.. p. r. r. 90. No wonder the
Southern Pacific managers are pushing
ahead, for they are the owners of the c. p,
and are working to shut out competition.
They want to rivet their letters on the Pa
cific Coast.
E OF DEALING.
From the Austin Reveille.
Pass a just bill, and if the Central Pa
cific Company see fit to take advantage Of
the situation by doubling up over the road
from the Nevada State line to San Francis
co, in order to make up for the reduction
through Nevada, our only hope for relief
in that event would be in Congress, pro-
vided the California Legislature refused to
pass a similar law to Nevada. The refusal
Of that company to deliver Eastern freights
at destination points is one Of the worst
features in its business transactions. Had
it dealt honorably with its patrons in Ne
vada, there would have been no neel for
legislation on the subject at this time.
