HIS Position.

A writer in the Lyon County Timer
in speaking Of the position OF the diff
ferent members OF tho Senate on the
railroad question places our two Sena-
tors Shepherd aud Stone among those
who "are supposed to be sound for the
Central Pacific" Now this expression
conveys an impression that those gen.
tlcInen are influenced by other consid.
erations than a desire to serve to the
best of &hoir ability the people by
whom they were elected, aud as far as
it applies to Mr. Shepherd we are per
fectly satisfied that he is not influenced
by any improper motive.
1t is very probable that Mr.. Shep-
herd is opposed to n great deal OF the
radical legislation that has been pro-
posed. but in opposing it no one who
knows Mr.. Shepherd will nccuse him
of improper motives. There are n
large number OF people in this county
engaged in raising grain, and IL severe
laws should bo enacted against the
Railroad Company it is within their
power to seriously damage our farmers
10y giving special rates on grain from
California. II Mr.. Shepherd Is oppos.
e:l to some Of the railroad bills which
have been presented it is from consid.
Grafton Of facts OF this kind affecting
the interests of his constituents.
Neither do We know OF any reason
why, so far as Mr. Stone is concerned.
he should occupy upon this question a
diiloren. position from that Of his col.
league.

A bill has just been introduced in the
Assembly to E" Establish a State Priut.
iog Ofics and to create the ollico of
Superintendent OF State Printing" by
Mr.. Harlow of Storey. The bill endu~s
the Office with SALARY OF $4,000 year.
It's duties rs the name implies. being
merely To employ the necessary work
mon and To supcTiutend the perform
snce Of all printing for the State. except
advertising, n bond OF $1,000 for tho
faithful discharge OF the duties being
required. A provision Of tho bill also
requires that tho State shall establish nt
tho Capital Il printing Office i'll which
the State printing ID to bo done.
That in Nil justice and oqnity this
work should bc done within our own
borders. is very generally admitted, but
whether the plan proposed in this bill
for tho accomplishment Of that Object,
Is preferable To tho law which governed
the Office OF State Printer prior To its
adjustment, is n question OF some doubt
Under tho provisions OF this bill the
State is. perhaps, ns securely protected
against loss as tho nature Of tho rcln.
tions between it and tho Superintend.
cnt Of Printing will ndniit Of but under
the old law, tho Stnte Printer merely
receiving pay for his work rs performed.
and tho Office and fixtures being private
property. tho protection against loss to
tho State scoms TO us 10 have been much
more ample. leaving out OF considcrn.
tion tho $4,000 to 10 appropriated by
tho State for tho establishment Of n
printing Office.

The Central Paciae Heard From.

The General Superintendent of the
Central Pacific Railroad. Mr.. A. n.
Towne, has been interviewed on the
"Freights and Fares" question aud tho
result of that interview has been pub
lishod in the Sacramento Record Union.
According to Mr. Towne the Central
Pacific Company is not guilty Of any of
the things that have been charged
against 1t, and is altogether high.
minded and honorable corporation, md
does not discriminate in its charges in
favor Of or against persons or places.
Now in regard to the latter assertion
circumstance that occurred in this
comfy will illustrate what their capa
bilities are On that head. A year or
two ago the people of Star Valley on
tho Central Pncifc Railroad 35 miles
east of this place found it necessary to
build II school.house for the education
OF their children, and voted to levy a
tax on the property in the school dis.
trict, to raise money for that purpose.
There is quite "A length of the railroad
in the district, and of course tho com.
pGry was called upon to pay its pro
portion OF the tax along with other pro.
pcrty owners. Tho agents of the rail-
road protested against the lovying of
the tax, hat ii was levied and collected
Nov tho people of Star Valley nre Gu
gagged in raising grain which they ship
on tho railroad 10 points west of That
place. So in order to get even on them
fur the sch0ol-;Hx The company increas.
od the rate Of freight on barley from
Deeth, which is the Star Valley station,
eight dollars per cur load, and con-
tiuued that rate until they had made
tho people pay them back the amount
OF the school-tax they had paid aud
then they restored the ratio to what it
was originally.
1t is strange that Mr.. Towno should
make such denial as he has whom
every person along the line of the road
know that instances showing the same
disposition Hs that eyiuced in the
above ore common. -,

In reference to the above bill the
Enterprise OF Saturday has tho follow
ing:
Every day increases tho probability
OF the passage OF the Reagan bill by
til" United States Senate. The NOR
chants aud business men of the East
ara thoroughly aroused to the necessity
of curbing the imposi,ions Of inter
State railroads, and tho Senator who
votes against the bill will DO brought
to n disngrreabie reckoning by his con.
stituteuts. No measure Of relief less
cxacIiuS than the Reagan bill would be
of any service to the public, and,
should it become n law, the people Of
Nevada would be warranted in cello
brnting the even: by lighting bonGres
Oh u thousand hills throughout the
State. As the provisions of the bill
DO not seein to DO thoroughly under
stood by many. we will repeat that con
meeting Interstate Railroads are de-
clnred TO bc one and continuous in car.
riage. 1t is made unlawfui for q rail-
rond company to charge moro for u
shorter than for longer distance. or
u discriminate III rates either for or
against individuals, corporations or
companies. Such lag would give
the merchants OF Nevada tho benefits
Of through rates from the Erstcrn mar.
kcts-thut is, they could have their
depot Of the Central Pacific in this
State by paying the through rates from
the point Of shipment TO San Francisco,
and not be compelled. as they are now.
to pay through rates, with way rates
added from Sacramento back to the
place OF delivery. The railroad COM
panics have no equitable right TO
charge even san Francisco rates for
the transportation of freiShts from the
East to any point this side Of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains; but tho payment OF
way rates back from CalifUrnia-fre-
queutly amounting to moro than the
through ratcs-has been as is still SO
grIevous n burden upon our people
that they would willingly consent to
pay full through rates from New York
to San Francisco for all freights deliv-
cred in this State. The Williams bill,
to which reference was made in yes.
terday's EntrJPrIe. simply applies the
provisions of the Reagan bill to this
State, and Is plainly q step in the
right direction.

The Cipher dispatches InycstI-
RatiOa.

As the Potter committee continues
its researches into the matter of the
cipher dispatches the fact continues tn
appear that all Of those dispatches
which have been made public have
PASSED through the hands Of VIM. z.
Chandler and other Republican leaders; !;
which further confirms the assertion
that the Republicans who Lad sent dis.
patches which they did not want made
public. were allowed access to tho tele-
graph Offices for the purpose OF pro-
curing the copies Of those dispatches
and destroying them. and while over.
hauling the dispatches in the different
offices with that object they have taken
occasion 10 hunt out all of the dis
patches which they supposed were sent
by Democrats. among which were
those published by the Tribune and
those now in tho hands OF Butler.
When in the course OF this investi-
CATION it shal! be proven that the Re
publicans have taken the copies of dis
patches sent by them from the tele-
graph o,hces, those persons will no
doubt admit The fact aud offer TO pro-
duce the dispatches so taken as General
Brady and Tyucr have done. Now
there is not the slightest doubt bit that
II the Democrats who sent damaging
dispatches could have had the copies Of
those dispatches III their procession MS
the Republicans have had, and had
been required to produce them before
the committee they would have proven
to be equally as harmless Us those pro-
duced by General Braiy AMI Mr.
Tyner.
