The Nashville American!

This faithful and unwavering advocate of
Democratic principles, views the result of
the late National and State elections, as
only an additional incentive to every sim
cere lover of his country and its inStitu-
tions, to look more closely than ever, into
the administration of public affairs by the
peoples servants. 1t will be the province OF
The American to approve right and de-
people such Information as viii lead them
to correct conclusions. The facts it will give
will be without bias, upon which its read
ers can form their own opinions Time and
the recurrence of popular elections, show
that a very large portion of the voters OF the
Union act from the impulse of the moment,
rather than from settled convictions In re-
gard to correct principles of government.
Hence the greater necessity for tie use of
public journals to obtain juster and more
settled views on governmental questions.
This, The American will endeavor with the
utmost pains, to supply.
The American will continue the well
known and highly appreciated extensive
volume of general news, State and National,
and will strive to deserve what it already
enjoys, the name of being the best news

politics or location. m

THE PEOPLE AND THE RAILROADS.

The Enterprise, in its role of regularly
retained counsel for the defence in the case
of the People vs. the Railroads, says:
Senator Mcconnell, of Humboldt, has in
troduced bill to regulate passenger rates on
railroads in this State, but the Silver State
thinks it doubtful if the bill yill accomplish
anything in that direction, so far as the Central
Pacific Railroad is concerned. That COM
pany was organized under an Act of the
United States Congress when Nevada was a
Territory. That Act authorizes the company
to charge passenger rates not exceeding ten
cents mile. 1t is not probable that State
Legislature can nullify or amend this clause
in the charter of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. 1t is generally conceded that Con-
gress alone has power to regulate fares Ola the
Pacific railroads between California and the
Missouri river, and as that body authorizes
the Union and Central Pacific Companies to
charge one third more for carrying passengers
than they do charge, it is not probable that
the Legislature of Nevada can reduce the
rates. However that may be, the bill has
been referred to the Senate Committee on
Railroads, whose report will probably deter
mine the question of authority and decide its
fate.
The only defense offered by the railroad
monopolies now engaged in the task Of grind
ing and crushing the people of Nevada con-
sists in arguing the subject from a purely
technical basis. The question Of right or
wrong, hard times and extor ion, is never for
moment, considered by The monopoly or its
agents. The only proposition which seems
to actuate the corporation is the II .er raining
and impoverishing of Nevada by system Of
e1tortioaate freight and passenger tariffs I'M
known to any portion of the civilized world
evils, they only reply to any and all argu
ments advanced that any such ATTIC mpt is I'M
constitutional and a violation of this or that
right which the corporation claims 10 possess.
The people who are plundered year after year
by rascally system of determinations and
high tariff will not much longer tolerate this
exasperating argument, while all about them
they see monopoly burdened State sinking
into decay. The laws Of right and Justice
have still some claims, and must be respected.
Men cannet slave away their lives, giving
seventy five dollars to the Central Pacific of
every hundred they earn. If the people do
not get justice from the present Legislature,
they will cease to look for it IN that quarter,
and take upon themselves the task Of "regu
iation."

Miss JANE DARK, who had some reputation
in her time as the Maid OF Orleans. was not
of noble family, says the Chicago Tribune,
and did not come from the town of Arc, for
the sufficien: reason that there was no such
town. The printing of her name as Joan of
Arc, or Jeanne dare, is totally erroneous.
She was in French simply Jeanne Dare, and
in English her proper name is Jane Dark.

In consequence Of the withdrawal OF the
leading lady from the Abbott English opera
troupe, it has recently been made known that
Mrs. Seguin-Wallace made touching sacri

Seguin's salary was to be reduced to $50

salary, and leave his untouched. He re-

II \ NUTsHELL.-The CORES pondent of the
Examiner puts The c. p. freight problem in
a nutshell in the following: "a they pray
for is that tho railroad will carry goods from
the East to Nevada for the same price as they
are carried TO California. If a bale of goods
is carried from New York to San Francisco
for s., the Nevada people do not ask to have
a similar bale landed here for less than 50.
They are willing to pay that, but theT do OBJ
ject to having to pay for having / lie goods
carried to San Francisco and back again in
addition to the So charge. This is what the
people OF the Sagebrush State have to bear,
and it is against just this robbery which kills
the State that Senator Williams resolution is
directed"

RENo's RApACIIY.-One of the most ludic-
rious features of the Legislature in Nevada is
the inordinate rapacty of Reno for all the
plums in the pudding. The claims of Reno
for the Lunatic Asylum, now being pushed
with all the energy the town can command,
are generally looked upon with disfavor by
the members, from the fact that the STATE
Capital is generally believed to be the place
for public buildings. When, however, en-
couraged by the feebleness of the opposition
against herpe scneme, she gravely proposes to
grab the States Prison, it is time that the in
habtants of Carson began to look about for
some feasible means of holding on to the
State Capitol.

EXEMPTION OF WAGES.-A petition is being
circulated in Virginia asking the Legislature
to pass law exempt ng wages from attach
ment in the sum of $50. Such law would
work two ways. 1t would enable many a
poor man to get on his feet when he had Just
begun work after long period of idleness,
and also give many persons who never settle
their honest debts without attachment fine
opportunity of evading their creditors. AS a
rule only those who can pay and will not are
made the subjects of attachment. A law
which deals with absolute fairness between
debtor and creditor is very hard to Frame
AS wine merchants are petitionng the

our own grapes will naturally wonder what
the spurious French wines are made of.
There arc number of large factories near
Paris in which wines are made from rotten
apples. damaged dried fruits of all kinds
beets and spoiled molasses. But there is not
enough of these materials to make as much
wine as is required by foreign trade. Turnip
juice has been worked oyer into wine. and
American eide, is the basis of millions of boz
ties Of champagne, but good apples and tur
nips are too costly to be wasted on cheap
wines, such as Americans buy. Some of the
temperance societies might find the returns
they are after by satisfying public curiosity
about what imported wines are made of.

NOTWITHSTANDING the general sym
patty in London with the late Gen.
Colley personally, military men unani-
mously condemn his move on Spitzkop
as faulty alike In conception and exc
cution. They eulogize at the same time
his courage and the military capacity
of the Beers. The ministers censure
still more grayely Colley's political pro-
ceedings. 1t is now known, though not
publicly stated, that Colley delayed me-
gotiations with the Beers, hoping to
retrieve his two former disasters before
being compelled TO accord either an
armistice or peace. Two Of the minis
tiers say that the Beers probably first
learned Of the intentions Of the govern
ment toward them from an examination
of the papers found in Colley's pockets
after his death. An intimate friend Of
Colley's describes him as having an
insane contempt for danger or prudence,
hence his Judgment in military matters
was hopelessly unsound. Gen. Roberts
appointment is widely disapproved,
people in military circles asking why
send Roberts, who Is ignorant Of the
county, when Wolsley knows every inch
of the ground.
