With but little or no opposition.
A PLAN TO PREVENT ABsENTEsIsM has been
presented 10 the House committee on rules by
Representative Blackburn. It contem plates

neous business which was subseque lily re-
ported TO the Senate, and continued he con-

THE APPORTIONMRNT ELL.
The House then resumed the consideration of
the appOrt1ODment bill.
Mr.. Cox offered an amendment fixing the
NUMBER OF Representatives at 307, and IJ was
ordered printed and considered pending.
Mr. Sherw1n, member Of the census com
mlttee, took the floor upon the bill. There was
no reason that an appOrtiOnment should not
be made at this session, since all the data was
In, on which to make the calculation. Compar-
ing the various bills which had been proposed,
he showed that at 301 {the number first sug
gested by Mr.. Cox the democratic states would
gain Representatives and lose "a net gain or
SIX. The republican states would gain 10 and
lose s-a net gain OF two. AT the number
selected by the majority OF the commit
tee 3l1 the democratic states would
gain IL and lose none; the republican states
would gain 10 and lose "A net gain of 6. AT
Ority-the democratic and republican state
would each gain 13 representatives. He argued
in support OF the latter bill, contending thai
matnematically ma as well as politically 1t meted
OF the country. For that reason it should
commend itself to every fairmlnded man on
this floor.
Mr.. New inquired II sls would not leave

Mr.. EDIToR: The fabrication in last
evenings paper signed Citizen why
not prominent citizen ?"-is altogether
too smooth to allow to pass unnoticed. 1t
Is all q mistake. There is to be no subsidy
to the new railroad scheme. The counties
are merely stockholders in a grand under
taking which will pay so enormously that
all will make money. Every citizen is to
have a word to say in the direction Of the
new railroad, and nobody is to be counted
out. The day Of jubilee will come. The
heavens are going to fall and we shall all
catch larks. Remember. however, that
five hundred thousand dollars must first
be paid out Of these three county treasures
in the shape OF a loan to the incorporators
of the new railway before there can be any
hope Of this millennium. 1t is too late in
the day for Citizen . or any one else to
call a loan from a city or county with stock
back anything other than q subsidy.
This kind Of afraud has been perpetrated
for the last twenty years all over the coun-
try. To-day at least, one thousand
counties, cities and towns in the
United States have in their possess
sion railroad bonds of no value
and perfectly worthless, for which has been
given the hard cash Of taxpayers which
never will return. Only ten days ago the
city of Rochester lost over 5000, 900 in rail-
Dad bonds by the foreclosure of the first
mortgage bonds ON the road, and so it is
all over the land. II the counties are to
give help to a railroad, let it be done by
a good, square subsidy, but do not whip
the devil around the stump on this stock
humbug. If it be the intention to make o
a grab, do it above board and not under
the table. Besides, il this is such a good
thing for the counties, inc so much bene-
ut is to be derived from it, why do not the
bankers, mining men, lawyers, business
men and Capitalists" engaged in the en-
terprise either furnish the necessary money
or persuade their friends to do it. "Why
not, Ephriam, why not 2"
1t is said that the Central Pacific
iunkies' are opposed to the benevolent
scheme OF a railroad to the Colorado River.
1t always happens that when certain per-
sons are attempting to initiate that COM
pany in their schemes OF subsidy and rail-
road legislation they call their opponents by
names, which perhaps would appropriately
describe their own positions and affinities.
1t is not a question now as to who are
funkies and where they are, but the vital
point il, who will have and keep this snb-
sidy Of half a million. To be sure the
"funkies' will not receive ID or any por-
ton thereof. If this railroad scheme sue
ceeds, somebody will be fooled to q GER
tainty.
The undersigned will now leave this
question at rest. He has not said a word
in malice. He has simply sounded the
note OF warning, and if the people Of this
and the adjoining counties want this rail
road and are willing to pay the sum asked
.et the Perley bill be passed. In the
future, however, let no one say that he did
not know.what this measure was, nor com
plain tina. he was led like a sheep to the
shearer. ANTI-SuBsIDY.

Wrongly Informed.

Our Hill contemporary announced last
Saturday that the Dramatic Troupe had
abandoned tho idea Of producing " Forget
Me Not" and added by way Of comment,
that it was a wise step On the part of our
amateurs, as the play was one in which
only two professional ladies in America
had achieved success. The News was
wrongly informed concerning the shelving
OF the piece, and m~isjudgss the histrionic
talent of our amateurs. We will admit
that the play is an extremely difficult one
to render and that our Dramatic Club has
a severe task on its hands; yet we are not
prepared to believe that our young people,
especially the ladies, educated as they have
been in the very best schools in the coun-
try, are a whit behind their sisters and
brothers on this Coast who live in more
favored localities. Miss Nellie Calhoun, q
girl Of eighteen, recently made her debut
in San Francisco as Juliet" before one
Of the most critical audiences in the country,
and achieved the highest success, although
the little love-lorn heroine Of Shakespeare is
probably the hardest role in the entire
catalogue Of feminine characters. Miss
Adele Waters, scarcely eighteen. was an
other debutante that successfully followed
Miss Calhoun in a play entitled
Loves Sacrifice" A few weeks later
Miss Lille Edgington, from our own
State, made her debut at the Baldwin as
Pauline" in the Lady of Lyons" and
made a pronounced success. All these
young ladies were unfamiliar with the
stage and its surroundings, yet at one
bound they reached the top Of the his
trionic ladder. Whether they will stay
there depends Upon themselves. Dur am
ateurs, although perhaps not quite SO am
bilious. and with no desire to become pro-
f~essionals, also desire to aim high. and
present something worthy OF their talents
and labors. In Forget Me Not" they
have q model piece for a debut. We are
too prone to underestimate and disparage
the abilities Of those with whom we come
in daily contact. The social conventional
tiles and "taffy" are but poor criterions OF
the capabilities of those who are willing to
burn the midnight oil. Nowhere should a
dramatic club be more welcome than in
Eureka. where q perfect monotony reigns
almost the entire year round as far as
amusements are concerned. We therefore
hail the coming performance Of the anna
tours with pleasure.

Powning ON Bills.

The rapidity with which Senator Pown-
ing is introducing bills, says the Carson
Appeal, is something unprecedented in the
annals Of sage-brush legislation. One Of
his bills provides that the session of the
Legislature shall last but forty days.
II he continues to introduce bills as at
present, it will require a session of six
months to kill one-half of them. He is
setting about On a vigorous crusade of re-
form, reforming the whole State except
Washoe county. The Page on the
left side of the Speaker has worn
two pairs OF shoes out carrying Powning's
bills to the desk. This billions Senator
1t is said is only sending these bills out as a
feeler. His pet bills are coming up from
Reno by slow freight.

heavy trade for nearly thirty years in the
very line of goods which he now offers. He
has succeeded beyond all expectations, be-
cause he understood his business; because
he knew how to please the fancy Of his Gus
toners; because he always keeps the latest
styles of goods; because he sells only the
best qualities OF material; and lastly, be-
cause he sells for cash. in conversation
with him last evening. the gentleman said
he was well pleased with the patronage his
house had received during the eight months
they had done business here. and it was
their desire to stick by the camp; but his

Him Dean in o with Arizona,
After 81 years spent in the Sagebrush
State, oscillating between Aurora and
Phoebe, the old veteran ~auctioneer, James
G. Dean, pulled out a couple OF weeks age
and landed in Tucson, Arizona. In a letter
to Billy Gulliford, written on the 18th
inst, Jim wonders why he did not read
more Of sunny chimes" and why he did
not strike for that portion Of Gods coun.
try years ago.
Jim was seven days in making the trip,
but laid over one day at Battle Mountain,
and one in Lathrope California, which
makes the actual time Of travel, by rail,
five days from Eureka to Tucson.
He enters into the details of the trip,
not neglecting to mention what he was
doing while journeying or laying over.
Los Angeles is q paradise just now,
oranges and fruits Of all kinds Astounding
in profusion.
From Yuma up the ella, ever to the very
gates of Tucson, is nothing but a dreary
desert.
The mining camps southwest, south,
southeast, east and northeast are lovely,
timber, water and rich ores Astounding
everywhere.
Jim landed in Tucson at midnight and
the next day his bag and baggage we're on
hand, household goods, babies, wheel Of
fortune, etc., etc. He at once rented .
house in the heart Of the city, 35x16 for
800 per month, got out an ~auctioneers'
license, and a license to run bis little games.
Both are paying better than he expected.
Auction business good by daylight and
games by night.
Tucson has q resident population of up
wards Of 1000 people, n the streets are
thronged with miners and ~prospectors
going and coming to and from the various
adjacent camps. 1t is as lovely as Eden
il the history Of that mythical spot is any
where near correct-the streets are as level
as a house floor, and large plazas are in
front of the principal dwellings, rich in
plants and bright green grasses. In all the
tow there are but two small frame build
ings the others are either brick or adobes.
Many OF the business houses there carry
larger and finer stocks OF goods than are
to be found west of Denver. if we except
San Francisco. Livery stock is in demand
all the time, the roads being excellent for
drives. Buggies are wheeling along the
streets at ell times. Gambling Of every
known game is carried on with q high
hand, and only bit saloons are known in
the city. There are six newspapers pub
lished in the place in fact it is a prosper
GUS town.
Jim has not been long in the burg. but
evidently has been quite busy looking
around and taking in the business view.
He promises to write again as soon as he
gets acquainted with his surroundings.
