An inquisitiye reporter Of the Reno
Gazette went poking into a Chinese Masonic
hall, and relates his impressions as fol-
lows: .Of cousse he was not allowed to re-
main after the show began, but what he
did find may thus briefly be told.
Every Chinaman on coming to the door
pulled off, or rather let fall off, his foot
rockers. The reporter watched the process
with some little curiosity, and was cha
grined to ind it was solely for the purpose
of keeping the fioor clean. Small wires
were stretched across the room and notices
in three parallel row suspended from
them. Back Of the grand officers stand
were numerous notices, while in front Of
him, on a table. were various articles OF
incense, food, etc. The organization, rs
described bv a member, is afraternal order,
similar to such societies among the eau
casians. But further information is to the
effect that, although Ia society partakes
largely of a fraternal order, its real nature
is political. They only meet when appli-
cants are to be initiated, and their sessions
continue through the entire night. In
fact. last nights session lasted till nearly
8 O'Clock this morning. The order here
numbers over one hundred members, while
the same organization in China has a MEM
bership Of more than fifteen million"

An Effort to SeSre.ate Western wye.
The Austin RereiIe says it understands
that John w. Ballad and Walter Shehan
left for Carson on Saturday last, with a
petition signed by about four-ffths Of the
legal voters living in Western Nye, asking
the Legislature to set off from Nye q strip
Of territory which includes lone, upper
Reese river and Grantsville, and we believe
asking to be attached to Lander county.
As before stated, il u respectable majority
of the people living in the territory in
question ask the Legislature to be set off
from Nye and be attached to another coun-
ty, we claim that it becomes the duty of
that body to give the petition a respectable
hearing and consideration, regardless OF
remonstrances from other portions Of the
county. Lander county has so far stood
aloof from taking any stock in this matter,
there apparently being a general feeling Of
indifference among our people on the sub
jcct. The whole matter will doubtless be
presented to the Legislature for final ac-
lion. The gentlemen who have been sent
TO Carson with the petition are old resi-
dents of Western Nye. and property hold
ers, and whatever statements they may
make in rejecting the sentiment OF the
people, can be relied on as correct, as they
both stand above reproach and are in every
respect substantial citizens.

THE SENATE.

Almost all the Senators were in their places
yesterday, and noble work was nobly done
by that body in passing the bill providing for
the entire reorganization of the Minnesota
hospital for the insane. There were only
three votes in the negative upon the final
passage of the bill.
The bill providing for the conversion of
the 100000 acres of internal improvement
lands into permanent road and bridge
fund, was indefinitely postponed, the Senate
being very strongly of the opinion that it
will not do to dispose of these lands until
the State railroad bonds are Cancelled.
The bill appropriating money for the sup
port of State institutions was taken up in
committee of the whole, and the item for the
insane asylums was pared down $24,OOO for
the two years for which it was made, and a
disposition seems to prevail that it will not
be allowed TO become law until the bill re-
organizing that institution shall have re-
ceived the Governors signature. Objections
to the voting of the full amount asked were
based upon the extravagancies practiced in
the past years, and it is now proposed to as
certain what sum will comfortable support
the patients of the asylum under prudent
and economical management. It was also
urged that there were from so to 100 inmates
of the asylum who are harmless imbeciIes
who are not properly the charges of the
State, but whose admission is due to the in
huence of the trustees in behalf of personal
friends who did not want to be troubled with
the care of their demented friends. The
other items were not cut down, and the bill
was recommended to pass.
In the course of the discussion of the bill
Senator Pillsbury, chairman of the finance
committee, took occasion to state to the
Senate that if every appropriation bill was
passed just as it came from the committee,
the tax levy would be lower than has ever
been known in the history of the State.

nder the existing order of things.
THERE is considerable talk abor

THERE is considerable talk about the leg
islature as to the proper disposition to be
made Of the State swamp lands, now tied up
5J the grant to the Soldiers Orphans Home.
There have been several propositions sub
mitted in both houses, all of which are open
to exceptions more or less forcible. One of
the best of the number is the one suggested
by Major Fridley, of Sherburne county. It
is not known that his plan will take the
form of q bill, but it is certainly worthy of
consideration from the fact that there can
not by any possibility be a woodohuck in it.
He proposes that the lands be set apart for
the construction of railroads; that each
railroad company now in existence or here
after to be organized shall receive for each
mile of new road constructed o certain num-
Der OF acres Of these swamp lands, to be dis
posed Of as they may sac fit. Thus there
should be an inducemant to railroads to ex-
tend their lines and aid in the development
Of the agricultural resources Of the State.
The only advantage one railroad would have
over another it would acquire by construct
and no one will question but they will de-
serve that advantage. There is much that
is worth considering in this suggestion,
though it will hardly commend itself to
those who are anxious to gobble up the
lands for some pet institution or enterprise.

Publishing the La,rs
(St. Paul Dispatch.

The hypocritical howl Of Bill King over
the printing of the laws in the newspapers
deceives no one. Under the pretext of a
drive at H. P. Hall he is striking at the coun-
try papers, in weak revenge for their late re-
fusal to bow the knee to his dictation. a. P.
Hall has no monopoly of printing the laws.
Because he does the work cheaper than the
Dispatch or Bill Kings paper, or any other
printer sees fit to do it, and at the same time
does it promptly and satisfactorily, he gets
the bulk Of the business of furnishing the
supplements. But everybody knows that if
he made a profit of over or 10 per cent. he
would have plenty of competition. It is the
country papers which make the profit-what
little there is in it. The bulldozer
is wreaking its malicious hate towards
them, and every member of the
legislature who lends himself to its base de-
signs should understand that he is striking
directly at his home paper and not at H. P.
Hall. The policy of circulating the laws
has been settled in this State. It is only
question as to how to do it most thoroughly
we are satisfied that there has been no bet
ter way suggested than that now in use. If
the State gets its work done as cheaply in
this way as in any other way that could be
devised, and at the same time the struggling
country papers are able, by cooperation in
printing, to make few dollars profit out of
what would be losing business if each edi-
tor did the work himself-who will object,
except the men who hate or the men who
fear an independent press. Call the roll

their own property, but they are obliged to I

their own property, but they are obliged to
indemnify sufferers who may be injured in
any way or pay large sums to the heirs of
those who may lose their lives by casualty.
Carelessness in this respect is not one of the
faults of the railroad companies. Their en-
gineers are the best that can be procured in
the whole country and the material they use
of the most durable description.
1t is the duty of the State auditor to sec
that lands subject to taxation are properly
listed. The railroad commissioner in the
past has simply procured from the COM
panies lists of the lands sold during given
period, and communicated these lists to the
auditor. This could be done directly by the
auditor, and thus avoid expensive circumlo-
cution.
There is one source of the expense of the
office that has been entirely overlooked by
those who advocate the abolition of the
otfice-the stationery, printing and postage
bills incurred by the commissioner. The
blank forms in use are very costly; the cir
culars issued by him are numerous, and the
printing of his annual reports involves a
heavy outlay. 1t is safe to say that in these
matters saving of at least a thousand dol.
lars will be effected by the abolition.
But one step remains to complete this re-
form-the final passage of the bill in its
regular order. Probably this order will be
reached tomorrow, and we have no fear of
the result.

T.lKING THE CENSUS,


If there is, as claimed by the Republican
members of the federal House, oonstitu-
tional provision requiring United States
marshals to take the census, that provision
ought to be abrogated without unnecessary
delay. 1t gives too great a power to the
poiitica! party happening to have the ascen-
dancy, and is dangerous to the very exist
ence of the republic. 1t will readily be seen
that it is an easy matter for marshal to
exaggerate the population of any particula,
Congressional district in which his party
may have majority, and thus to increase
its representation in the next House. He
could also make it appear that districts
where his party is in the minority had a
less population than correct census would
show, aud thus it would be deprived of its
ri5htful representation in Congress. This
has been done in the past to slight ex-
tents it may be carried still further in the
future, and there is especial danger of it at
the present time, when the parties are so
nearly evenly balanced, and when single
member may turn the scale in Congress.
We do not charge that all United States
marshals would be guilty of such an act of
injustice, but some of them are not of su-
perior virtue and would be capable of any
act which promised to advance the interests
of their party. This is especially the case
at the South. The federal officials in that
section ale for the most part set of unc on
scionable scalawags, ready to lend them
selves at any moment to any rascality that
may be demanded by the managers at Wash
ington. The Republican party is now en-
gagged in a lifs and death struggle, and will
resort to any means by which to regain the
power they have lost While We do not
charge that the mass of that party-the rank
and tile-would etoop to disreputable means,
experience has shown that the active man
ayers are men upon whom no reliance can be
placed. They regard fealty to party as a
higher duty than honorable conduct, and
will require of those who depend upon that
party for their official positions an absolute
acquiescence in their demands. We havo no
confidence that those demands will be either
honorable or patriotic.
The proper method for taking the census
is that advocated by Mr.. Cox, of New York.
The whole subject ought to be left to the
several States. The governors of each of
these States can appoint the census takers
as most of them do each half decade-and
through these more reliable enumeration
would te obtained. There is no danger that
these will be Influenced 10y party obligations
to as great an extent as the federal marshals,
and even if they were less injustice would
be done, for in different States they would
owe allegiance to different parties. There
would be lack of motive for classifying the
enumeration. Each person so appointed
would have a local pride that would induce
him to make record for accuracy that
would deter him from committing any overt
acts such as have been referred to. We are
decidedly of the opinion that Mr.. Co1's
proposition should prevail.

THERE was joint meeting of the judici-
airy committees Of the two houses yesterday,
at which the various insolvency bills were
considered. The so-called Warner bill, in
troduced in the House by Mr.. Mead, was
deemed too cumbrous to be practical, and
though many of it's features were highly
commended, it was decided to report by sub
stltute brief bill containing the salient
points of that and Senator Bucks bill. The
committee unanimously recognized the
necessity of passing some bill that, if not
men from the danger that menace them

4 CONSTITUTIONAL CONTENTION.


Senator Hill introduced bill early in the
session providing for a Constitutional Con-
vention. but for some reason the measure
has been allowed to sleep in the hands of tho
judiciary committee. This is matter which
ought to be considered on its merits, and it
is unfair to smother such bill in the COM
mit,ee. There ought to have been q consti-
tutional convention years ago. 1t has been
twenty years since the adoption of the con-
stisution, and even then it was piece of
patchwork. Two rival political parties, hold.
ing separate conventions and then devoting
few hours at the close in uniting upon a
constitution, is the history of what we have.
Since then almost every legislature has at
tached some amendment to the constitu-
ton. There have been seven amendments
prepared at the present session, and several
more are in prospect. There is no DIVER
sity of opinion on the subject. All agree
that there should be convention, and now,
with biennial sessions of the legislature, it is
highly appropriate that a Constitutional
Convention should assemble next winter. It
requires no argument to impress this mat
ter upon the legislature, and the very men
ton of it ought to be sufficient to obtain
speedy action.

A cUNN1NoLT designed pine land grab,
quietly worked through the House, was read
in tue Senate the first time yesterday. The
proposed grab is put forward in the guise Of
simple memorial to Congress for permits
lnnocent as the proposition appears, the
Senase ought not to allow ii to pass. While
Cong els would probably refuse the prayer,
it Is well known that steals endorsed by q
State legislature too often finds supp orters
among the national law makers. The only
safe pan to checkmate the pine land plum
derers is for the Senate to defeat the memo
rial.
