A BENIsHrED CONGRESSMAN.

The Eureka, Nevada, SENTINEL is
edited by Congressman Cassidy, who is
now In his second term as a represent
alive from tina State. In the issue of
his paper of the 4th instant he says on
the subject OF the alleged interference
OF prison labor with free labor:
The fact is that the support of con-
victs does not fall heavily upon the
honest, hard-working laborers of the
country. These, as a rule, have 10
taxes, or very light taxes, to pay, be-
cause they live by the sweat of the
brow and are poor. The rich, who de-
rive the greatest advantages from the
Government, pay the bulk of the taxes.
And they can better afford to pay
something extra for the keeping of con-
victs than the laboring men can afford
to suffer, as they must, in competition
with the cheap labor Of Jail birds.
Down with prison labor is not the
cry of the politicians merely. 1t is the
voice of honest labor demanding the
poor privilege of toll"
Ii such a view had been expressed
by an editor in ordinary, it might not
be worth while to notice it, so fire.
quently do errors of this kind occur in
the press. But a member of the high
est legislative body in the land, the
duty of which is to deal ~intelligently
with such subjects, should know better.
MIR. Cassidy evidently needs a few les
sons in political economy. He needs to
be taught that all taxation falls ulti-
mately upon productive labor. Indeed
it could not fall otherwise, seeing that
the thing which is taken by the Govern
ment in the name OF taxation IS but the
product of labor. Created value, or its
representative in the form of some me-
dunn of exchange, is what is demanded,
and what is created value but the result
of toll? Labor, capital and land are the
three prime factors in production, and as
capital is the product of previous labor,
and as land belongs of right to no n alb
soiutely, it follows that all there is in
the world of value to the people thereof,
barring water to drink, air to breathe
and ground to walk upon and to till, is
the result of human exertion, or the
product of labor. How, then, is it pos
sible to lay a tax upon the people with
out demanding from them a percentage
of what they produce with their hands
and their heads Stockton Mail.
Our contemporary may be right in his
rawlings, but whether he is or not neither
he nor anybody else can determine. He
is evidently a sophomore.
Mr.. Cassidy has nothing more to do
with editing this paper than the editor of
the Stockton Mail has.

THE ASYLUM EN- BROGLIO.

In yesterdays SENTINEL we published
a list Of charges preferred by DIR. Berg
stein against DR.. Bishop. The people
are interested in this not for the sake of
either of these physicians, but on account
OF their sympathy with the unfortunate
inmates of the States Insane Asylum.
The Silver State discusses the rumpus
very ~pertinently thus:
The public, who are taxed to maintain
the Asylum, have some grounds for com
plant against the Board of Commission
ers. In the first place, they removed
the former Superintendent without in
forming the public of the cause; in the
next place, they created the Office of
Assistant superintendent, an Office
which, DR.. Bishop is reported as saying,
there is no necessity for. Now. as the
Commissioners are and should be fully as
accountable to the people, who are taxed
to support the Asylum, as the Superin.
tendent is to the Commissioners for the
management of the institution, they
ought to explain their acts to the public,
and tell why DIR. Dawson was removed,
and why the Office of Assistant Superin'
tendent was created when DR.. Bishop
was appointed Superintendent, as we'll as
to thoroughly investigate the charges
preferred against the management by DR.,
Bergstein. There should be no Star
Chamber secrecy about the State Insane
Asylum. 1t is maintained by the public,
and the public have a right to know how
it is conducted.

THE GOVERNORS PROCLAMA.
TON.

Gov. Adams is to be commended for
the common-sense style in which he in
vites the people of Nevada to eat. drink
and be merry on the goth inst. No can't
or affectation of religious sentiment. He
names a day for Thanksgiving, because
to do so has been a custom Of his prede.
cessors in Office. Hence he calls upon all
the folk Of this Commonwealth to OBJ
serve the occasion as both a national and
State holiday. This is all, and the docu.
ment reads as though there would have
been no proclamation at all, but for the
sake Of honored custom.

CAlcGgO A61CS.
The anticipated visit of Jay Gould and
the consequent agitation among the news
paper reporters recall the fact that Gould
was never fairly outwitted by a reporter
but once, and the exceptional incident
occurred at the time Gould was in Denver
after having just purchased the Kansas
Pacific Railroad. The financial world was
agog for information as to Gould's inten-
tiOns and plans, and the Denver news
paper offices were overwhelmed with
kilograms from Eastern dailies asking for
special dispatches regarding the rail-
road magnate and his movements.
MIR. Fred. Skitf, who is now manager
of the Denver Tribune, was at that
time city editor of the paper, and he de-
tailed three of his best reporters to get at
Gould and interview him by hook or by
crook. About O'Clock at night these re-
porters showed up with the information
that Gould could not be seen; that his
sentinels were posted all along the hall
leading to his rooms IN the Grand Central
Hotel, and it was impossible to run the
gauntlet of these wary creatures. Perhaps
with view to showing his subOrdinates
what genuine enterprise could accom-
plish. Skif announced that he would Sc
cure access to GOuld's apartment, and
would literally beard the lion in his den.
Accordingly he hustled around, bor-
coat and cap, and stalked boldly in
to the Grand Central. ''LoOk ahere, '1said
he, to the first sentinel he met, "what
does Mr.. Gould propose to do about that
car? l must know right away, for if he
isn't going to use it tomorrow I've
got to take it back to Cnicago.D The
sentry knew nothing about the car, of
course, aud advised Skitf to see Gould

growing all the time about the bother of
being compelled to attend to other peO-
pies business. Judge Usher, one of
GOuld's attorneys, was in consultation
with Gould when the bogus sleeping car
conductor was shown in. He i'm
mediately recognized Skif, having
know him back in Kansas. 'sWhe
did you. get out of the newspaper busi-
ness!' inquired the astonished LAWYER.
Il amt out of it." replied Skiff, "but |

s'YOung man." said Mr.. Gould, sternly,
.if you're reporter YOU can take your
self right out Of the room, for l am not to
be interVieweds' Sklff argued the point,
and, not being invited to be seated,
cOOlly sat down on the floor. "Unless
you put me out" said he, II shall
stay here till YOU tell me what your
plans are.'' This audacity rather pleas
ed Gould. He looked at Usher, and,
sesing that party chuckling heartily. he
broke out into a loud laugh. "Well.
what do you want to knOwr' he asked,
finally, in the tone of a man who is
wearied with objeetiDg. Skiff knew he
had triumphed. He produced his note
book, drew up to the table at which
Gould sat, aRd set industriously at work
plying questions and noting the replies.
The result was a reliable forecast Of the
imMense railroad enterprise in which
Gould subsequently embarked, and of
which the public would not have been
forewarned but for the audacity and wit
of the dlunticss Skif.
