OF. INTEREST TO VOTERS.
The Chinese Question and Proposed
Amendments to the Constitution.

The Chinese Question and Proposed
Amendments to the Constitution.
The following article has been pub
lished by the Carson Appeal at the re-
quest Of Governor Kinkead, who is
anxious that the press of the State give
it as much publicity, as possible:
at may not be generally understood
that at the coming election the people
of this State will be called upon to vote
for or against the adoption of two
amendments to the State Constitution
and new article (Eighteen)s- The first
amendment was passed by the Legisla-
turc January Is, 1877, and provides
that Section of Article III, of the State
Constitution shah be amended by the
elimination therefron of the word
white and the effect of such elimina-
ton shall be that no male citizen shall
be excluded from the rights of suffrage
and office holding by reason of his race,
color or previous condition of servitude,
provided that this amendment shall not
be construed as comforting the rights of
naturalization, suffrage and office hold
ing upon. any native of the Chinese EN-
pre- Statutes Of 1877, page ola. The
second amendment was passed by the
Legislature January p, 1877, and pro-
vides for amending Article XI by adding
a new section (Ten), which read as fol-
lows: No public funds of any kind or
character whatever, State, county, or
municipal, shall be used for sectarian
purposes. Statutes Of 1877, page 22l.
The new Article [Esghteen), provides
that, The rights of suffrage and Office
holding shall not be withheld from any
male citizen of the United States by
reason of his color or previous eSndi-
tion of servitude. Statutes of 1877,
page Ola. These amendments were
also passed by the Legislature January
~, 1879. Statutes of 1879, page 49,
$50, and by Assembly joint resolution
No. Eleyen'passed February 3, 1879, it
was provided that at the general cleo
ton of 1850 these amendments should
be submitted to the voters of the State
of Nevada, and that the County Com
missioners of the several counties Of
the State shall, in proclamations for the
election Of the various officers for said
year, provide for submitting the amend
ments herein named to the voters of the
several precincts in their respective
counties. We are ,hus explicit in set
ting this matter before the people for
the reason that already in one county
of this State (Eureka), an election pro-
clamatien has been published by the
Board of County Commissioners which
makes no allusion to these amendments.
1t is highly important that the several
Boards of CountyCommissioners in this
State comply with the laws in this re-
spect, and also in providing for the ex-
preston of the popular will on the sub
ject of Chinese immigration, as noted
in the Governors Proclamation.

A Remarkable Circumstance.

Last night, the forward trucks of a
freight car jumped from under the car,
while the train was running at its usual
rate of speed, near Stone House, The
coupling held the end of the car up,
and the train run four or five miles be-
fore it was. discovered that there We're
no wheels under one end OF car. The
train men noticed that the lumber with
which the car was loaded, was sliding
forward, and an investigation resulted
in the discovery that the trucks had
been left behind.

Mrs. Carleton, sister OF Alfred Chartz'

Carleton is a deserving woman, who IN
sisterly affection has sacrificed her all in
behalf OF her brother. We can but think
that Chariz is unjustly imprisoned. he
was attacked by words that would make
any man fight who has q spark oil man
hood in ain, and his sister-Mrs. Carrie
ton-has striven and worked to the utmost
of a woman's endurance to procure his re-
lease. The red tape of the law has paiied
her efforts, and Chartz is a convict unde-
serving Of such a fate. We hope that mrs.
Carleton will obtain the position to which
she aspires, for her sisterly devotion Is
worthy Of reward, and we hope that Chartz
will be pardoned for he is not a bad man
in any sense, and, il in the eye OF the law
he il guilty OF murder, he committed the
crime in what he thought was the defense
Of his own life and the honor OF his
mother.

A Tenderfoot's story of a Nevada
Stage Ride.
A New York paper relates the following
unlikely story: Hank Monk, CALIFORNIA;
f~avorite stage driver, once gave Horace
Greeley a terrible shaking up to get him
through on time. The experience was
partly repeated by another prominent New
Yorker in Nevada the other day, on a route
where there was a rival line. The coaches
started out on parallel roads, each four
horse team on the gallop. The New Yorker
being the only passenger in one coach took
a seat with the driver. He endured the
first five miles very well, as the road was
pretty smooth, but he finally carelessly OBJ
served:
"This pace is rather hard on the horses,
isn't it
"Oh, no; they are used to it. / haven't
begun to swing them yeti" was the reply.
"If we were going a little slower /
could enjoy the scenery much better"
Eyes, l s'pose 80. hut this line isn't run
ON the scenery principle"
That ended the conversation until the
horses turned q corner and the stage rode
around it on two wheels. Then the Yorker
remarked:
II suppose you sometimes meet with
accidents?"
Almost every dayl" was tho brief re-
ply.
''Isn't there danger Of something giving
away?"
"iOf course, but we've got to take the
| chances. G'lang, therei"
At the end of another mile the passen-
ger controlled his voice sufficiently to in
quire:
"what if you shouldn't reach Red Hill
at exactly 2 o'clock. I'm in no great
hurry" :.
"No. I s'pose not; but I've got to do il
or lose ten dollars"
"HowY"
"I'ye got an even $40 bet that l beat
the other stage into Red Hill by fifteen
minutes, and I'm going to win that money
if ii kills q boss r.
"Say, hold on p exclaimed the other al
he felt for his wallet; II like to ride fast
and I'm not q bit nervous, but ! do hate
to zee horses get worried. Here's $40 fol
you, and let's sort o. jog along the rest o.
the way and get a chance to smoke ani
talk about Indians |"
"Whoa, therel Come down with you
gently now-take it easy and don't fret I
called the driver, as he pulled in an(
reached for the ~greenbacks with n hant
and his pipe with the other, and thereafter
the New Yorker had more scenery and lesl
bumps.

Coffee Fumes u Powerful Disinfect-

The power Of burnt coffee as a disinfect-
ant has been tested by some recent expert
ments in Paris. A quantity Of meat was
hung up in a closed room until decom-
posed, and then a chatting dish was intro
duced and 500 gramms Of coffee thrown on
the fire. In a few minutes the room was
completely disinfected. In another room
sulphurated hydrogen and ammonia were
developed. aud 90 gramms of coffee de-
stroyed the smell in about half a minute.
1t is also stated that the fumes of coffee
quickly destroy the smell Of musk, ASA
fntida and other powerful odors.
