A FORTUNATE MAN.

G. G. Powning the Republican
nominee for Congressman may be es-
teemed Q fortunate man. He is
made target of by the Democratic
press of the State and the crimes
charged against him are that he is
young, and that when boy he was
willing to work for his living at any
honest occupation and take what he
could get for his work. This latter
charge needs no defense, rs the ma
jority of decent thinking people will
think more of him, because of his
energy and industry. That he is
young is true, aud it may, in the es,i-
nation OF some be wicked to he young
but any thinking person will readily
see that it is Q fault which will be
removed by time. As these are the
worst sins of which he is accused it
may be said that he 10 a fortunate
politician, and there is reason for the
belief that young as he is, he is
pretty good man.

the NEXT LEGISLATURE.

The winnemucca Sitver State de-
clares that 1t 10 of the greatest inn
portance to the people of Nevada
that the next Legislature should be
composed Of the most reliable and
intelligent men in the countrys and
gives some good reasons in the annex
ed article:
The financial condition of the State
demands that expenses be reduced to
the lowest possible figures. The tax
from proceeds Of mines has been
steadily falling of for years, and at
present agricultural interests of the
State have to bear the greater part
of the burden of the State government.
As Nevada has no outlet for surplus
gain, there 10 not much inducement
to engage in the business OF raising
1t, except to supply the demand for
home consumption, and until new
benanzas are found in the Comstock,
or outside mines are developed, this
demand must necessarily be limited.
At present, the only articles of export
product, i'll Nevada. are bullion, beef
and wool. The bullion product, a.
stated, has been decreasing since the
.Comstock bonsnzss gave out, and
taxes will have to be increased on the
other articles proporti0nslly with the
falling of in the revenue from bull
lion, % the expenses of the State
government are fully a. much as
when the Comstock was producing
FIVE times as much bullion a. the
whole State is to-day. The reduc-
ton of expenses is therefore absolute
~ necessary to prevent exorbitant
taxation and these expenses can only
be reduced by legislative action.
This will not be accomplished unless
the Legislature is composed of more
intelligent matarial than comprises
the ordinary law.msking bodies of
Nevada. Men should be selected
who will reduce the expenses of the
Legislature at least one-half, and who
will cut off each and all of the super
fuous drains on the Treasury. There

Of few bills reducing expenses, the
Legislature should adjourn and not
meet again for years, except to select
Q United States Senator. This year
there 10 no U. 6. Senator to be elected
in Nevada, and as the politicians will
not take much interest in the Legis.
lature, the people ought to elect the
very best men placed in nomination
regardless of their party affiliations.

An important opinion was rendered by

An important opinion was rendered by
the supreme court of Illinois at Springfield
last week, involving the question of the
power of the state legislature to regulate
the rates charged by railroads for freight
carried to points outside of Illinois, and
whether the act prohibiting unjust dis
crimlnation in such rates is not IN contra.
vention of the constitution of the United
States. The case was one wherein sixty
per cent larger rate was charged on haul
from Gilman TO New York than on haul
from Peoria to New York, though the dis.
lance from Peoria is greater by eighty six
miles. 1t was held by the court that the
charge was unjust excessive, extor.ionate
and unlawful, and in effect the court
upholds the authority of the railroad and
warehouse commissioners to regulate
freight charges from points in Illinois To
points outside the state. The opinion of

of any legislature may pass what is known
