The House Committee will, il is said,
report adversely On what is known as
the Reagan bill, and in its place report
bill turning tho entire management
and regulation of the railroads as far as
tho Government is concerned, to n
standing commission. which will have
power to determine ali questions ro-
garding frcights and fares. and NIL
other questions that may ariSo in the
supervision of railroads. As far as can
bc learned the railroad corporations like
this plan much better than the Reagan
bill which proposed 10 govern their
operations by law. .
This is after the style OF the Tariff
CommissioD, which is beyond all doubt
the Grcssest kind of fraud upon the
people, as there is no probability what
ever that it will rsctify any of the
abuses OF which there is such Just cause
Of complaint. The system: of placing in
the hands Of irresponsible committees
tho powers which should alone Lo oxer-
ciscd by ths direct representatives of
the people. SO much in favor Mt Wash
ing,on. is one Of the most pernic:ous
that could possibly be adopted, as it
places the public interests in n position
in which they may bo readily tampered
with through bribery and corruption,
without oven the authority to hold these
imperiulIy endowed genil, men account
able for their acts. however they may
disiort on aunul the object for which
they were appointed. 1t vouli seem
that il these most vital interests Of the
people can be more efT-clually con-
served by private committees ulan by a
Congress. whose every act is q matter
Of public record, the sooner the expense
o! maintaining the latter is abolished.

lation is to be given over to committees.

Tho View chinese EiI,

In the House of Representatives
Friday. Mr. Willis Of Kentucky. pres
en,ed minority report on the anti
Cnin:so bill from tho Committee on
Educatson and labor. aud it was re-
ferred TO the House calendar. The re-
port states that the minority members
had desired TO report bill fixing tho
term OF suspension at fifteen years and
restoring the penalty clause; but, in
view OF the statement that Krr. Page
would on Monday endenvor to pass the
bill under suspension Of the rules,
they had determined not to report n fit.
teen year bill, but to vote for Mr.. Pages
motion. They filed report, however,
for the pupose Of formally stating their
preference for l5-year suspension They
base their argument in support of that
proposition upon the popular demand
Of the Pacific coast, as asserted at pub.
lie meetings, and ON the fact that to
that people suspension Of even twenty
years was not acceptable. J.P. Swift,
tho only member of the Treaty Com.
mission who fepp sented the anti.
Chinese sentiment. had dc clared that
ten-year suspension was worse than
nothing. and that il would not restore
to its normal condition the industrial
and business interests of California, or
came up TO the expectations of the
people OF thu; region. The report then
proceeds to argue that tho government
OF the United States was given by the
treaty absolute discretion as to deter.
mining the time and manner OF such
suspension.

HOW TO ASSESS CATTLE.
a Decision or the Sixth Judicial
DIstricI Court.

The cause OF +. Barnes. plaintiff, VS..
W. W. WOoibery, defendant, on trial
before Judge Rives at Eureka, has just
reached a decision. The suit was
brought by Barnes TO recover from
White Pine County. $3.50. collected
from Linn by Woodbury.. its assessor.
the tax on l,l0O head of plaintiffs 5
cattle, which during seven months of
the ysar-from March to Novenber-
ranged and grazed in White Pine County
while plaintiff resided ana claimed n
home-ranch in Eureka County.
The Court says:
The only question which can arise
in this casa at this time is presented by
the demurrer. viz: Were these cattle,
undcr such a state OF facts MS has been
giVeL, subj, TO laxt ton in White Pine
county, think not. Not any more
so than if they had GrGzed each day
during the year in White Pine County
and had been returned each uight to
their homo ranch in Eureka. Not any
more 50 than II they had been brought
from Utah, and destined for the plant.
it's home in Eureka, and hal remained
any reasonable time in White Pine to
r,cruit during their pessage through
hat county, nor Guy more SO from tha
fact that they srazcd at will there for
seven months during the year. than IL
they had been passing Ieisury through
that or a hall a dozen other counties
in this State FROM plaintiffs ranch in
Eureka to some distant market in any
other county or beyond this State.
The statute requires or authorizes
the assessment Of all properly in tho
county during certain time III each
year. Nov. what property Is to be un-
deTstood us being in the county? Can
it DO said that such as is simply passing
through It for the purposes OF market
els whore, or j. destined for some o;Lcr
county in thu State. is property in tho
county for the purpose Of taxation?
Certainly not. To Constitute il prop
eriy for that purpose in any particular
county it must bo in such a situation
as 10 make it a part of the wealth Of
sk1t cuunty; it must belong IN il; must
DO Incorporated with the other property
Of the county.
1t cannot be said that these cattle
belonged in White Pine County, or
that they wcro incorporate with the
other property of tho county, but, on
the contrary, that they belonged in
Eureka County aud ranged alone un.
incorporated with the other property
OF ;hat county, and constituted no
part Of the wealth Of the County Of
Waite Pine.
Il, is, therefore. ordered, shat the de.
murrer be oyerTuied and defendant given
Eve days iu which TO answer"
The above is certainly a very com.
fortiny view Of tho case for such
counties ~ Eureka. which having very
suali territory, and no grazing lands to
speak Of. is thus nu hprizcd to forage on
the dsmain Of her ne ,ghbors. aud like
