Unjust Discrimination.

There is a good deal Of wild clamor
about nonopolies sspping the very life
blood out Of many enterprises on this
coast, sd some unreasonable comments
largely INDUCED in, but the oppressive
acts Of some Of the corporations doing
business in the West, are oIen to
censure. Notable among them is the Cen
trsi Pacific management, whose extortion-
ate rxsctions have been So much com-
plsiued of by shippers to and from Cali
fornia over their lines. 4 Nevada cor
respondent Of the San Francisco Chron-
ieie gives little insight into the discriml-
nations against msiness men who occupy
cations between terminal points Steve
Gage, the only lobbyist Of the Central Pa
cihc IL here for the purpose OF throwing
more light upon the justice OF the pecu.
liar transaction by which the people Of
Nevada are compelled to pay $SOOa car
load for overland freight from the East,
when the people of California ouly pay
$500. Mr.. Gage has figured the thlng
down 10 mathematical demon
stration and ran in half an
hour convince q cow-county member thar
Stanford ought really to collect thousand
dollars fnr the service of hauling freight
car from Ogden to Reno. Few men hv-
ing can talk on the wrong aide of an srgu-
meut with such an absolute appearance of
force ON the subject As Mr.. Gage. He
imn-esses one a men do who have told
soms tremendous yarn about themselves
until they have gradually been LED into
believing it as an absolute occurrence.

. Pity.

Secretary F er bias cen extremely
unpopular with the clerks Of the treasury
department ever since he abolished smok.
ing during Office hours, and adopted rules
requiring them TO come little nearer t.
earning their salaries than they had been
in the habit of doing under previous ad-
ministrstions. They would have been I'M
mensely pleased with his election as Gov
ernor of New York, and since his defeat
threw him back on the Presidents hands
they have lonsed for his removal and the
subs'itution in his place of an easier boss.
The prospect Of any relief for these unfor-
tunaiss is remote. The President has
evidently made up his mind to retain
FOlger, and. what is worse, the latter 8
rules are likely to be put into force IN
other departments Secretary Lincoln,
who has fallen under the influence of the
fxac,ing secretary, is reported to approve
mis- regulations. and to b. onlthe point Of
hanishing the cigar from the var office
and requiring more work from his clerks
This will extend Mr.. Folgers unpopular
rty, but, on the principle that misery
loves company, the lot of the unhappy
treasury employees may appear less dis
tr-ssIng than when they were the sole
victims OF such cruel oppression A de
termination in all the departments to re-
auire clerks to earn a, least half their sal
aries would make the lot Of these orna-
merits an exceedingly unhappy one.

Senator Vest bill for the protection of
Yellowstone Park provides for placing the
park under the Jurisdiction Of the adjoin-
ing county of GalIatin, in the county Of
Wyoming. He proposes to forbid the
killing, under any prete1t, Of sill arre->
l,pes, deer, buffalo, otter, beaver, and
other fur bearing animals, as well as !
kinds of birds The bill provides that no
fish shall be taken from streams in the
park except with the hook and line. The
only wild animals which the Senator pro-
poses to have destroyed by hunters are
wildcats, mountain lions and few others
of rapacious class. He will also in his
bill forbid the destruction or removal Of
all geological formations, the filing up Of
the geysers with stones and trees, "a is
practiced now by tourists. In order
enforce the law, he 6xes fine Of not less
than $50 for each offense, and provides
for the arraignment Of the offender upon
complaint before Justice of the Pesce Of
Gallatin county. He will provide. also.
Inspectors to watch the park and SEE that
the law is rot violated. Last year Eng
lish hunters spent months in the park
killing OF large game and slaughtering as
many as 1000 elks alone. The springs
are being stopped up by enormous boul-
ders and the trunks Of trces. which have
been placed there by vandala- The Sen
ator is confident that his bill is SO drawn
