V. & I. TAXES.

According to their own showing, the V. &
T. R. r. Company derive an income from
their road of about 5000, 900 per annum.
They pay, in the four counties through
which their road runs, yearly taxes amount
ing to something less than $4,000.
This sum is equivalent to about .O3s per
cent ON their yearly income.
But there Is no income tax levied Ill this
State. The taxpayer pays taxes on his prop
erty. Mr. Yerington stated in his sworn re-
port that the capital stock of the V. q I. r.
r. is Sc, 0O0, 900. An annual tax of $50, 900
is of OF per cent. on the said capital stock.
Sixty thousand dollars per month, profits,
Nhe amount sworn to by Mr. Yerington, as
the present income of the company on all ex-
penses, interest ON the debt etc., is one per
cent per month on Sc, 600, 900.
That is to say, the V. & 7. R. R. pays its
owners twice as much interest each month as
they pay on their capital stock, in the shape
of taxes each year. to the counties and the
State
The ordinary taxpayer in Ormsby County
pays about 04 per cent on his property This
is about times as much in proportion as the
V. & 7. R. R. pays on its Sworn capital stock!

MOHANS LECTURE.

Yesterdays Enterprise contains the follow
ing glowing report of Mohan's lecture de-
livered in Piper's Opera House on Monday
evening on 'The Irish in America "A
large and sympathetic audience greeted MIR.
Mohan last night. The lecture was running
account of incidents in the lives of such
prominent men of the last hundred years as
might be included in the title of Irish IN
America. The Revolutionary period en-
braced the names of Patrick Henry, Mont
gomery, Knox, Sullivan and Mcintosh Great
applause followed the deliveryo Stark speech
to his soldiers, and much amusement was
created by the contrast drawn between Cap
tain Molly and the degenerate wives of to-
day. The statement that the British evac-
uated Boston upon St. Patrick day in the
morning was the occasion of intense enthusl-
asm. OF the Irish signers of the Declaration
q Independence, Charles Carroll and John
Hancock were the most noted; the mother OF
the latter was said to have been Miss Nora
O'Flaherty of Belfast The mention OF her
name was most satisfactory to the listeners;
their comfortable frame of mind was much
augmented by a sarcastic allusion to the name
az French John c. Calhoun another
'Frenchman. In eulogizing Andrew Jackson
the lecturer went so far as to relate that the
British forces beaten at New Orleans included
the legions which under Wellington at
Waterloo conquered Napoleon. However, as
the young orator apolOgized in advance for
any errors in chronology, and this was but
six months wrong, we freely forgive him.
We could but admire the ease with which his
Irish wit saved him from his entertaining
statement that Washington telegraphed.
Mcclellan, Shields, Mulligan and Sheridan
brought the tense nearly to the present,
The mention of A T. Stewart proved that
most Of the wealth of the country had been
developed by the Irish and that, would they
bit forego whisky, the wealth would all be
theirs. Patriotism to his adopted country
is Mr. Mohans glorious creed. His charn
public speaker is centered in his Irish
jsns."

WHAT A WAsHOE MEMBER SAYS.

A Reno Gazette reporter has been interview
ing Hon. J. P. Foulks upon the railroad
ques ion. Jack is particularly sound upon
this question: The conclusion of the state
ment of the said reporter is as follows:
The present system, under which the rail
road companies charge what they please and
discriminate against whom they pl ase, Mr..
Foulks thought, was a crying evil, and one
that needs Immediate and radical redress.
why, sir" said he, 'just think of it !
Mackay & Fair get their wood hauled to Vir-
ginia City for $25 per cord, while poor ship
pers have to pay $50, although their shipping
is nearer than that of Mackey & Fair" This
was one of the evils which the Legislature
had undertaken to correct, and some good
work had been done in that direction, though
it had been done in the face of bitter and re-
lentless opposition. The railroads had
powerful and we'll organized lobby, with plenty
of money to use, and were working like beav-
ers to perpetuate the present system. The
Influence exerted by the lobby was shown by
the ''falllng down" of several members and
the weak, vacillating course of others. Pledges
have been shown to have little binding force

reform ticket, and who wrote the ant railroad

nents of reform Mr.. Davies could not plead
ignorance in extenuation of his offense, be-
cause he was man of some ability and had

tortion practiced by the V. and 7. railroad,

IsCENDIAKIRs IN WARD.-The Ward Refer

patient notice of an incendiaay attempt in
that village:
Another incendary fire occurred at the
house formerly owned by Jim Dean Saturday
morning last at 1890. Several fire extin-
tingnishers we're brought to bear and the fire
quickly put out. The hook and ladder com
pany was on hand promptly, but the services
of the company were not needed, Coal oil
had been literally used in several rooms, but
it must have been very bad quality, other
wise it would not have been possible to save
the house, or the town either, for that matter
Some one evidently owes Jim Dean grudge
and proposed to play for even by setting his
house on fire. The party is hereby informed
that the house has changed hands and that

THE STREET FACILITIES OF RENO

FOR THE MORNING APPEAL.
THE " ANDT. r. r. COMPARED WITH PART OF
THE C. P.

The Virginia and Truckee Railroad is 50
miles in length The Central Pacific be-
tween Sacramento and Reno is 154 miles in
length, two miles less than 3 times the
length of the Virginia and Truckee. The
total ascent of the Virginia and Truckee is
about 1900 feet, about $50 feet from Reno
to Lake View, and about l $50 feet from the
Carson River to Virginia.
The total ascent of the Central Pacific be-
tween Sacramento and Reno, is 6,986 feet;
the height of the summit above Sacramento;
$50 feet more tina 3 times the total rise of
the Virginia and Truckee.
These facts show that, other things being
equal, the G. p is more expensive road to
operate per mile than the Virginia and True
kee, but as the curves are sharper and the
grades sleeper on the Virginia and Truckee
not quite sufficient to counterbalance the ex-
cess of ascent of the c. P, yet we will prob
ably not be five per cent. out of the way if
we call the two roads equal, mile for mile, in
operating expense.
The Central Pacific charges S78 per car
load of 10 tons of lumber from Sacramento to
Reno, or cents per ton per mile, and doubt
less makes good preft thereat, while the
Virginia and Truckee is authorized by law to
charge and does charge whenever it suits its
pleasure to do so, times that amount, or
20 cents per ton per mile, over a road most
certainly not more expensive to operate, and
challenge any civil engineer to deny this
proposition. Why should this be thus!
When the road shall be extended towards
Bodie, the law will allow the same charge,
over road where the cost will not exceed
two cents per ton per mile, and l challenge
any civil engineer to deny this statement.

NOMINATION OF GEN. BUTLER FOR GOVERNOR BY
THE GREEEBACK CONVENTION.
The Massachusetts state convention OF the
national greenback labor party assembled at
Faneu1l hall yesterday afternoon. dispute
arose In the morning session OF the state cer-
trai committee, In which 1t was asserted that
the Boston city committee had been selling out
the party to the democrats by making q trade
Tor offices. Another source of trouble was the
action OF minority Of the state central CON-
mfttee In calling the convention on q basis of
club election and not on basis OF popular eau
cuseS. Threats OF q bolt were freely made
prior to the organization of the convention.
The convention was finally called to order at
11:25 an, and Israel w. Andrews, of Danvers
was elected temporary chairman A committee
OF nVe on permanent organization was ap-
pointed, who soon reported the following as
the permanent organization: President, Gen.
Horace B1nney Sargent, with eight vice -pre3i-
dents and four secretaries. The convention
nominated Gen. B. E. Butler for governor, Wen-
dell Philips was nominated for lieutenant gov
ernor. Jonathan Arnold, OF Abingdon for secre-
taIy OF state, Wilbur F. Whitney, of South Ash
ournham, for treasurer, Davis j. King, of Bos-
ton, for auditor, and Horace b. Sargent, OF Bos-
ton, for attorney general. The proceedings OF
the convention were characterized by consider
able confusion and some angry discussions but
In the main the decisions were accepted with
very good nature, and the nominations one and
all, were accepted with vociferous applause. a
state central committee was also appointed by
the convention. After lengthy discussion the
committee on platform returned to the hall and
presented series OF resolutions which were
unanimously adopted.
