BEWARE OF THE HAINES BILL!

1t is to be seriously apprehended that the
design of the Haines bill is to nullify the
Williams anti-discrimination bill At all
events, in it's very terms, it is nothing more
nor less than an impudent make-shift to zap
Dease popular clamor' The ''lecal" railroad
companies have so great contempt for the
people as to mock them and their struggles
for relief with this :" sop to Cerberus
The Williams bill prohibits determinations
between places and on account of distances.
This provision, if enforced, will make 1t I'M
lawful for the V. & I. r. r. to charge less
rate per ton from Reno to Virginia than from
Reno to Carson. The present practice Is to
charge the Carson shipper 20 cents per ton,
While the Virginia shipper is charged 10
cents. With the rates cut down to IL cents,
all round, the Virginia shipper will be
charged l. cents, which will make up the diff
ference to the railroad, In other words, II
cents to everybody will pay them quite as
well as they are being paid now; whereas, If
they were to persist in carrying frelghts to
Virginia at IL cents, the Williams Bill would
compel them to deliver Carson freights at the
same rate.
1t is the part Of wisdom and prudence to
,iefeat any measure that is presented to the
Legislature by the agents and servitors of the
railroad company. When they come in the
51ise of public servants who are willing to
compromise with the people, they are simply
wolves in Sleeps clothing. They mean mis-
chief
At all events the Haines bill should be
closely scrutinized before it is passed; and as
a condition precedent to its passage the enact
1nent of Cassidy's bill fixing a penalty for the
non-observance of Acts governing railroads
and fixing their rates of freights and fares,
should be insisted on.
But let all earnest railroad reformers be-
ware Of false lights

A SERIOUS CHARGR-The Elko IndeDend-
emit of Monday makes the following very Sc
rious charge:
1t is pretty well understood that the Sen
ate had been bought and paid for by Central
Pacific people several days before Steve Gage
delivered his lecture on fares and freights,
and that the object of the lecture was to en-
deavor to let the recreant Senators down as
easily as possible. So it appears that Ste

HE ISN'T THE MAN

EDITOR APPEAL: CHANGING through the
recently published volume of pen-pictures OF
Legislators, Bohemians, ETC., in which | am
favored with biographical notice, anticipat-
ing to see my many microscopic virtues ex
tolled, | find numerous errors respecting my
self which need correction, despite the fact
that they would not materially affect the rail
road and Chinese agitations one way or another
were they to be passed unnoticed. However,
my acquaintance ON this side of the continent
is very extensive, many having known me
from early boyhood, who, should they acct
dentally come across this little biography Of
mine, would at once recognize its Incorrect
ness, and to obviate the possibility of being
misiudged, | am constrained to make the
following errata
My biographer accuses me of having been
newspaper writer for the past seven years,
while my connection with the press does not
cover period of two years; and more, l
never was engaged by either the San Francisco
Post or Reno Jonfnol in the capacity of cor
respondent Nor was | educated at Alfred
University" New York | was not cast upon
pitiless world, with brother, in early child
hood and brought up by a cousin, for never
mad any cousins who didn t have their hands
full with the process of bringing themselves
up, and most of them didn't succeed then.
Again, | have no brother, nor am | the
brother of two sisters, fortunately, probably,
for them | am Furthermore pleased to learn
of my prominence in Nevada politics, fact
which had escaped my memory before l
perused that questionable statement in the
sketch referred to, especially since my horse,
foot and dragon defeat for a position in the
Senate. With these exceptions my blograph-
er, bless him, approaches the limits of facts.
The author of the pen-pictures informs me
that the misstatements spoken of herein are
attributable to the transposition of matter
while the forms for the book were being pre-
pared, and have no grounds for questioning
this assurance. Yours, truly,
OTTO GREENWOOD.

THE FIGURE HEAD OF THE CON
FEDERACY.

The San Francisco Post SHES a timely
missed at the figure head of the Southern
Confederacy as follows
That was significant debate in the Senate
on the motion of Hoar, of Massachusetts, to
to exclude JEFF Davis from participation in the
proposed Mexican pension grant. The mo
ton was carried, and the section, so amended,
was lost The Mexican veterans must there
FORE bide their time. 1t appears that jeff
Davis is to succeed Senator Bruce, from Mis-
sssippi. This will raise the question whether
the Senate should admit as member a man
who refuses to purge himself of treason. If
JEFF Davis had been in any other country
than this such question could not have arisen.
He would have been disposed of in different
way. But the magnanmity of our laws and
policy enables him to live in perfect security,
and to engage in any lawful calling. This is
not sufficient, however He-or his friends
for interpreters claim to pension from the
government which he sought to overturn by
force of arms, for services rendered before his
reasonable acts We hold that this is push
ing the thing little too far. Whatever may
have been his merit for previous services, he
certainly forfeited all rights of recognition for
his subsequent acts. A nation may be gen
erous; it should also be Just to all It's citizens,
and jeff Davis does not come under that cat
eCOry.

TENEMENr-HOUsE INSPECTION.

PROGRESS OF THE WORK AND RESULTS THUS FAR
OBTAINED.
Once a week, on Wednesdays, the forty inspec-
tors. who are at present engaged in examining the
tenement-hOuse districts OF the city. under the d.
recton of the Health Board are obliged to report to
Sanitary Inspector james the progress which has
been made during the week. II was hoped that the
work, which was begun the first of August, could
be completed by the last Of October, but it
little doubtful if 1t can be finished by that time.
Some of the inspectors are at work uptown at
present, and others are investigating the houses in
the Seventh Ward. Up to the present time nearly
! 400 houses have been examined and the work n
the Seventeenth and Eleventh Wards IS nearly at
on end From FOurteenth-st. as far south as Catha-
rine-s q, east of the Bowery, the inspectors visited
the tenements, but the work seems ia, 90 ahead
somewhat slowly. At present many of the lnSpec-
tors are I'M the districts east OF ChDtOnst, between
Houston and Rlyiugton-sts.
In speaking yesterday OF the progress thus far Of
the work, and Of the iuicTences that were 70 be
drawn from the results, Sanitary Inspector James
said "1he districts that are now beng examined
are larger than those heretofore gone over and the
progress seems slow. When these districts have
been thoroughly examined, the inspectors VIII pro-
coed on either side OF East broadway toward the

porter yesterday he said respecting political al
fairs:
ALTHOUGH Saratoga was crowded with pOlltl-
clans, and | suppose many came there expressly Tor
the purpose of accomplishing Some political pur-
pose, there was very little said about politics In
deed there was almost Indifference TO politics. This,
| suspect Is reflection of the attitude of people
generally Its result presume, will be the casting
of a small vote at the Fail elections"
DO You have much of political contest In
Pennsylvania this Fall ~ Mr. Curtin asked
Mop he replied, and then continued, there is
only a State Treasurer to elect, and nothing has
yet been said about candidates. There are three
parties in Pcnnsylvania-the Democratic, the Re-
publican, and the National"
"Will the Nationals cast a very large vote "
"No ono can yet tell about that but it is the
general belief that the Nationals all the coun-
try now that resumption Is accomplished Will go
back into their old party folds.
