REDUCTION or PILOT FEEs.-Tho Nav York
pilot commissioners have not yet decided to
sanction the trial of tho steam ptiOt-boat Her
cnles. nf which mention was made In this puper
few days ago. The proposition Ia now being
considered by the New York Chamber OF Com

they are willing to roiu % their fees to d Ger

It was stated In q meeting held on the

MERGE that the pilotage fecs collected on out
ward aud inward vessels. via Sandy Hook. in
1873, was ss5,.oso. paying each pilotboat about
$50 600 per annum. or $4,000 to $4,000 year to
each pilot. The pilot fees for n Havana steam
or amount to s3t0 per month. Whereas the cap
tain OF one OF these steamers il only paid 5000 n
month. Thus the pilots got more for merely
bringing steamers In and out IF harbor than
the captain receives for making the whole trip

APPEAL and addressing Mr. Mighels, said
that he had signed, under misrepresentation,
certain paper inviting him, Mighels, to de-
liver a lecture in the Assembly Chamber
upon Taxa tion-the said misrepresentation
consisting of his Howes, want of knowledge
at the time of signing, that he, Mighels, was
going to cri.icise the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad management. Mr.. Howe desired
his name omitted from the list of signers of
of that invitation for the reason that he did
not want to appear as endorsing Mr.. AIighels
attitude relative to the said railroad, he,
Howe, having pledged himself to abide by
the interests of the said road.
All of which, and more, was said, without
hesitation or reserve, in presence of wit
nesses."
Now, putting this and that together, is it
not fair deduction to conclude that Mr..
Mason, who is an acknowledged leader and
spokesman of and for the so-called Citizens
movement did appear at the Opera House on
Monday night, as per arrangement with the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad Company or
its agents and employees, to put their case in
its best light, and furnish the needed excuses
and prete1ts to Mr.. Howe and his fellow
"Citizens" in the Legislature, for voting
against any bills which may in any manner
be objected to by the said company, or initiate
against the purposes and practices of that
corporation! Indeed, is it not fair infer
ence, that such is the easel
In conclusion let it be SAIL that neither the
MORNING APPEAL nor it's conductor has any
desire to make &C raid upon nor yet to
'Fcrush' the Virginia and Truckee any
other railroad What it demands of all the rail
roads doing business in this State is decent
respect for the laws and as decent regard
for the rights and interests of the people by
whom they are surrounded and who sustain
heavy annual tax on account of the principal
and interest of debt incurred in their behalf.
Moreover it is to be said that if we have any
preference for the manner and method of
disciplinary and curative legislation, the same
has been already expressed in bill proposed
by us, under whose terms the railroads doing
business in this State and amenable to the
laws thereof, shall be subjected to reduc
ton of certain per cent upon their present
high rate Of freights aud fares such legisla
ton being coupled with such other enact
ments as shall prevent determinations, and
cause the Railroad Companies to observe the
laws requiring annual reports of all their
transactions, made and signed under oath.
As to Mr. Nasons lecture, if the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad Company think their
cause benefited by such transparent lobbying
done in the name of Dolly Warden, they are
easily treasured and their apprehensions very
readily quieted.

MR.. Fl. 5. MASONS LECTURE ON
FREIGHTS AND FARES.

Nr II. 5. Mason has been a resident of
this city for many years. During the time of
his residence here ne has been engaged in the
business of wholesale and retail merchant.
In 1866 Mr. Mason was nominated by the
Republicans of Ormsby County as their
candidate for County Treasurer, and as such
he was elected He was again nominated
and elected by the same party in 1868, in
1870 and in 1872. S. he was four times the
recipient of the nomination for County Treas
Urer by the Republicans of his county and
four times elected.
In 1874 he sought the nomination for a
fifth time and his name was placed before the
Republican Convention of this county as
candidate for that Office. He was defeated by
Mr.. Harry Peters by one ma ority. There
upon Dir. Mason withdrew from the Repub-
Lean party and took nomination upon the
Democratic ticket, as an Anti Sharon man,
for the Legislature He was serving a part
OF his term of Office as County Treasurer, to
which he had been elected by Rep blcan
votes, when he accepted Democratic nomi-
extensively conspicuous in his opposition to
TIE party which, for eight years, had kept
him in office.
Night before last Mr.. Mason vas fifty in
troduced to his audience by Hon. L. w. W.
Davies, a notorious rebel, who when he came
to Nevada was paroled prisoner of war,
fresh from the Confederate army.
Ever since his desertion of the Republican
party Mr. Mason has acted with the opponents
Of that party, Last Fall he took very
active part in the so-called citizens move
ment So much for Mr. Mason personally
aud politically. Of course he appeared al

Ormsby County, but as a mouthpiece of the

THE WILLIAMS BILL AS AMENDED
IN THE SENATE

One word to the Assembly in regard to the
Williams Bill Half a loaf is better than
none There are reasons why the bill should
have passed as it came from the House. But,
it all truth, it is to be said that Independent
Of the question of constitutionality (Which
passed by the Senate will do great deal of
good in preventing a certain class of INJURIOUS
discrimination.
Section one contains the provisions most
needed in a bill prohibiting determinations
between persons in the price of freight, time
and manner of delivery and carriage, ETC.
That is to say under the terms of this sec
ton the local roads can not lawfully carry
wood or other freight at a cheaper rate for a
rich man than for poor one. This provision
is a most essential and necessary one.
The amendment over which so much dis
cussion was had reads as follows and is added
10 section SIX:
Provided, however, that nothing in this Act
shall be construed to compel railroad con-
structed and operated wholly within this
State to carry and handle freight or transport
passengers at tho same rate per ton of freight
or per head for passengers as may be estab-
Ished by schedule or fixed by agreement of
any person or railroad company, whose road
s constructed in part without this State and
y lose road has greater continuous line of
rail than roads constructed wholly within this
State.
This, if it means anything, means Gin its
local sense) that the Central Pacific Company
are not to be allowed to impose their own
rates of freight and passenger travel upon the
Virginia and Truckee. That is to say, our
Local roads are to be governed in their rates
by such laws az at present exist or may be
passed by the present future legisla-
ture. In other words, fares and freights
shall be regulated by direct State statute
and not by indirection or outside sche@ les,
rates, agreements o. contracts.
Now all we wish to say is this; That it is
evident that the Senate will not pass any
anti discrimination bill which does not CON
tain this kind of proviso. Then follow
these propositions, namely:
First, This proviso in no way affects that
essential feature OF the bill which prohibits
determinations between person and person.
Second The bill as amended has passed the
Senate-which is that much gained to the
cause of anti discrimination between the diff
ferent customers of the same railroad, (That
~. all pay ahke-there beln, 40 rebate or cut
freights,)
Third, A half loaf being that much better
shan no bread, the Assembly, it seems to US,
aad better accede to the Senate amendments
Nothing could suit the Central Pacific
lobbyists better than for the Assembly to re-
Jact the bill as amended.
Colonel Ellis, General Clarke, Col. Garrsrd
and other earnest railroad reforlners are of
the unqualified opinion that the Meder
amendment does not effect the validity or con
stitutionality of the bill
The amendment ,alne from a very sus-
p;cious source bpt it is vhe child of guilty
tuar rather than the creature of effective
canning.
