Constitutional Prohibition.

More strenuous efforts are being
made this year than ever before, to Sc
cure an amendment to the constitution
concerning the liquor traffic. Three
separate proposed amendments have
been drawn and are now before the
Legislature for consideration. They
are as follows:
FROM THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT Asso-
CITATION.
Article XIX, Section /. The manufac-
ture or sale, or keeping for sale, of any al
coholic or intoxicating liquors, whether
brewed, fermented or distilled, or any
compounds thereof, or any compound of
which any such liquors constitute part,
to be used as beverage, is prohibited
within this Commonwealth but the man.
ufacture and sale of such liquors, or com
pounds thereof, for purposes other than a
beverage, shall be regulated by law. The
General Assembly, after the adoption of
this article by the qualified electors of the
Commonwealth, shall without delay enforce
its provisions by adequate penalties.
JUDGE AGNEw's PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
Section l. The manufacture, sale or
whether distilled, brewed, fermented or
vinous, and all compounds thereof, or of
any thereof to be used as a beverage, is
forever prohibited within this Common.
wealth, and the General Assembly shall
without delay pass all laws necessary to
enforce this prohibition. The manufacture
and sale of the aforesaid liquors for other
purposes than as beverage shall be regu
lated by law under sufficient penalties and
securities.
That the following amendment is proposed
to the Constitution of the Commonwealth
to be known as article XIX: The manufac
ture, sale or keeping for sale of all intoxi
eating liquors, whether distilled, brewed
fermented or vinous, and all compound,
thereof, or Of any thereof to be used as O
beverage, is forever prohibited within the
Commonwealth, and the General Assembly
shall, without delay, pass all laws necessary
to enforce this prohibition. Provided
That compensation shall be made out Of
the Treasury of the State to all persons who
| own real estate which has been occupied
and licensed and the license paid for the
! manufacture or sale of the articles before
named, for five successive years previous Il
| the adoption Of this amendment, which will
| be injured or reduced in value by reason o
| the destruction of their business by it
| adoption, provide the manner in which thu
said injury or reduction in value shall bC
ascertained or paid.
Section 2. The manufacture and sale o.
the aforesaid liquors for other purposes
than beverage shall be regulated by law
under sufficient penalties and securities.
The indications are that there will
be a fierce struggle on the question il
the House, and as it will be necessary
to obtain two thirds vote to carry tn,
Prohibition amendment, its adoption il
somewhat doubtful.

Silver PLATED w are.

The great improvements during the
last few years in the manufacture Of
silver-plated ware, have in many
ways increased the desirableness Of
this excellent substitute for solid silver.
Not only has great durability been
obtained by the new methods, but
pattern and finish, which formerly
betrayed the difference between It and
silver, now give no clue bywhich even
an expert can distinguish.
Clumsiness of shape has given way
to the lightest and most artistic forms,
and the production of meritorious
pattern in the solid metal is quickly
followed by its appearance in the less
costly material.
Even such elaborate decorations as
rcpousse and hammered work-long
confined to solid silver--are success
fully produced in plated ware with
delcacy and beauty leaving little to
be desired in respect of appearance.
1t is, however, only in the higher
grade of electroplated ware that these
exccllcncics Of The designer are at.
tempted to be wrought out, such per-
fiction of workmanship and dainty
finish being impossible in the inferior
varieties, in addition 10 the vital def
cheney Of these in durability.
BAILEY, BANKS & DIDDLE limit
their assortment to the best makes,
which they can fully guarantee. Par
tlculars will be furnished promptly as
to patterns, qualities and prices, on
application, and any goods desired
will be sent by express on approval,
to anyone known to the house or
furnishing reference.

DISCRIMINATION IN RAILROAD TRAFFIC.

DISCRIMINATION IN RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
l recommend that the Legislature
takes steps to enforce by appropriate
legislation Article II of the constitu-
ton. That article provides that all in
dividuals and associations shall have
equal rights upon railroads and canals,
without discrimination iu charges or
facilities to persons or places. 1t pro-
hibits the consultations of the stock,
property franchises of competing com
panies. 1t provides that common car
riers shall not engage in any business
other than than that Of common carry
ing. 1t seeks to prevent officers of
corporations from corruptly pro6ting
by the business of their companies. 1t
prohibits unfair preferences in furnish
ing cars or motive power, by drawback,
or otherwise, between transportation
companies and individuals.
THE FREE PASS SYSTEM
1t also forbids the issuing of free
passes to any persons other than offic-
ers or employees. In short, article II
seeks to make transportation companies
act justly; to compel them to treat all
citizens impartially and fairly; to
make them deal honestly, and to pre-
vent harassing or expressing any part
of the community. Such wise and
wholesome provisions would seem in
tended for the common good, and ought
not to be rendered abortive by the neg.
lect of the Legislative power. l sincere
ly recommend that bill be passed to
give full effect to these sections of the
fundamental law, either by imposing
penalties for their violation, or in such
other way as the legislature may deter
mine. The constitution was adopted
in 1878, and up to this time no effort
has been made to enforce its Just pro-
visions as to railroads and canals. |
am glad to observe that bill is now
before you relating to the free pass
abuse, which the constitution prohibits.
| trust an effective measure will be en-
acted on that subject, as well as all
those referred TO in arti cle II.
THE sTATA REVENUES.
A commission to consider the reve-
nues of the State appointed at the last
session of the legislature has, under
stand, completed its labors and reported
a bill to your bodies. The executive,
therefore, defers any suggestions on
the subject of taxation until it has an
opportunity of considering the complet
ed recommendation of that commits,
sion, He will lfrom time to time, as the
constitution directs, communicate his
thought to the Legislature, as occasion
may seem to warrant.
| CONCLUSION.
| No session for many years has pre-
sented so important subjects for legis
lative action. The people look will
high expectations to the results of YOU
deliberations, and | entertain the beliet
that their hopes for wise and wholesome
legislation will be realized.

called to meet at Gold Hill Aug. 8. The
purpose for which the special session is
called is to pass a resolution authorizing
the Grand Master to petition the Supreme
Grand Master to set Nevada, Utah. Mon
tana and Wyoming apart as a separate
beneficiary jurisdiction when . member
ship Of 1000 is reached. Az the represen-
tatives from the several Lodges in Western
Nevada constitute a quorum Of the Grand
Lodge, says the Silver State, there is no
necessity of putting the Lodges in Eastern
Nevada and the Territories to the expense
of sending representatives to Gold Hill,
consequently zone Of the Lodges east of
Reno are expected to be represented at the
special session.

A reporter of the Chicago News recently
called upon a Clarke street theatrical
manager and interviewed him with regard
to the supply Of female variety performers.
The News publishes q long and very inter-
esting article on the subject. In the
course Of the interview the reporter asked
the manager:
"Do you receive orders from Eastern
cities ?"
Eyes. I supply ballet and first part
girls to Pittsburg. Beyond that New York
does the business. Cleveland, Detroit and
Toledo send here for their troupes. But
the most of my business in that line comes
from Western cities. Kansas City, Denver,
Leadville, Butte, Eureka. San Francisco
and Texas towns all send here for their
variety girls. And you wouldn't think it,
but the experienced girls all prefer those
far Western places, where the toughest
elements of humanity congregate at the
variety places Of amusement"
All of this is good enough, but we will
not stand the use of ~s'roughest elements"
as applied to the Base Range. The very
elite of Eureka %patronize the Truckee
Concert Hall nightly, and they enjoy the
show, too. Two additional performers will
appear at this house next week.

A system OF Mining That f. BecOm.
ing General I'm This District.
The custom Of working mines on tribute
is growing more and more general in this
district. Chances that were formerly taken
by mining companies are now largely taken
by individia l miners who try their fortunes
in "pitches." While the business people
of the camp are losers by it, owing to the
shrinkage Of money In the market, The
system has not yet been sufficiently tried
to determine clearly whether, on average,
the miners lose or gain thereby. Yester-
day two men got q check for $40 80. This
sum was all they had saade together by W
months tributing-a case Of very hard
luck. We have mentioned from time to
time instances OF very profitable tribute
labor. At present the tributers in the
Alexandria, Hamburg, Phenix, and other
mines that we could mention, are making
more than 81 q day. In the first named
mine the tributers for July made only q
little less than 5000 each. There is an ele-
ment Of speculation in mining more con-
spicuous in tributing than in any other
form Of the work; still in this case the gam
BILE is moro conspicuous only because the
losses occurring fall directly upon the
laborer. Otherwise o few rich men Of .
corporation are sometimes saddled with it,
though they generally are generous enough
to distribute it among the public in the
shape Of assessments. A discussion OF the
tribute system at length would make too
long a story. 1t is certainly very much
preferable to no mining ct all, even though,
as some think, miners generally cannot
average "a a day by tributing. Everybody
Is looking forward hopefully, many
confidently. to the time not far off when
large bodies of ore will be struck in Dur
principal mines and many men set to work
on regular days pay. There are a good
many miners who prefer the independence
they enjoy in tributing, and are more than
willing to take the chances of making but
poor pay with the prospect Of IN occasional
bonanza, while, on tho other hand, the
majority Of miners would doubtless rather
have . dead thing in 81 a day.

MANLY ACTION.
Tie New York Board Of Trade On
the Telegraphers' Strike.

lie New YORK boar Oh y Oh
the TeleEraphers' Strike.
The following resolutions concerning the
strike of the t~elegraphers were unanimous
ly adopted by the Executive Committee
of the Board Of Trade and Transportation,
New York, at its meeting, July 20:
Whereas, q difference Of opinion as to
wages between operators and telegraph
companies has resulted in a strike. with
consequent interruption Of telegraph SER
vice, causing serious inconvenience and
loss to the public.
Resolved, That this business, being pub
lie in its nature, cannot be treated as q
difference Of opinion between private en-
ployers and their employees would be treat
ed; that the public interest is paramount
to all others, and the public should not re-
main silent in a case where a great corpor-
alton has by repeated cancellations &C
quired a virtual monopoly, which enables
it to dictate terms to q large class OF edu-
Gated laborers. We are therefore Of the
opinion that this strike should be at once
ended by both parties submitting their
differences to q board Of arbitration, which
might be composed Of three operators,
three directors OF the telegraph companies
and the Presidents OF the National Board
Of Trade, the Chicago Board Of Trade and
the New York Board Of Trade and Trans
portation, a majority Of which should rule
on all questions; or, indeed, any other
board of arbiters which would fairly repre-
sent the three parties in interest.
Resolved, That q company which has
virtually doubled its stock, without equiv
alent, within two years, and is now paying
six per cent dividends in defiance OF law
upon a mass of fictitious stock unparalleled
in the history Of stock watering; . compa-
ny which has within two years, through
pooling and combinations, doubled the
price Of ocean telegrsphy and stifed oom-
petition on land, ought not to crowd down
their operatives to q price lower than the
United States Government pays employees
Of similar intelligence and grade in the
postal service.
Resolved, That the present situation in
connection with the outrageous stock wat
ering operations Of telegraph companies
under corporate management, thereby
furnishing an excuse for excessive rates for
telegraph service, furnishes a fresh illus
tration OF the %propriety and necessity Of
the postal department at once constructing
a system of lines upon the plan proposed
by the bill introduced in Congress at the
last session by Hon. ]. A. Anderson, or
by the purchase OF existing lines at a cost
not to exceed the expense Of duplicating
them.
Resolved, That the views expressed in
the opinion Of the General Term of the
rSupreme Court of the State Of New York
in the freight handlers strike are, in the
opinion of this committee. identical in
principle with those involved in the strike
Of the telegraphers; and while the courts
furnish no adequate, speedy relief, their
aid should be invoked unless steps are
speedily taken to remedy the present diff
culties in an equitable manner.

Gov. Laughton.

Gov. Laughton is at Lake Tahoe,
dressed in a suit Of buckskin. The tourists
from the East look upon him as the typi'
cal frontiers man, and take in his bear and
fish stories with implicit credulity. It Is
generally conceded that his claim to q
marked resemblance TO Buffalo Bill is we'll
founded. He has grown q full beard, and
his raven looks sweep his massive shout
ders. Buckskin Bob, who has heretofore
been q feature Of the Lake, Is SO far
eclipsed that he has submitted himself to
q barber and a bsth.-Candelaris True
Fissure.
This wild story of Mr.. Lsughton may
be true in other respects. but it is GER
tainly inaccurate as to his hair. His
craven locks" are entirely in the mind Of
the story-teller. He has more hair than
ALI. Harris. but less than Fred. Hinckley.
