A USELESS OFFICE.

There was some good sensi-
BILE talk in the Senate Yesterday
relative to the useless and some
what expensive Office of nBoss
School Teacher" of Nevada. In
years past the Superintendent
of Public Instruction has been
allowed $500 a year for travel
ing expenses, or 81 ,000-our in
formation conflicts on this point
and yet the friends of this
waste admit that he visited
very few schools because he was
SO frequently snubbed. A
Sheriff with SO sensitive dis
position as this would hardly be
allowed to. plead .'snubbing" AS
an excuse for neglect of duty.
The incumbents of the office
have, as a rule, simply been
figure heads, who seemed to
labor under the impression that
they possessed some sort OF
knowledge Of Greek roots not
vouchsafed to ordinary mortal.
No such official in Nevada has
ever done anything to distin-
guish his administration, and in
our opinion the smallest salaried
school teacher at Il country cross
roads does more to advance the
cause Of education than the State
superintendent Of Public In
Struction. His only work is
making ont the apportionment
for the various districts, a task
which the State Controller could
accomplish in four hours. The
office ought to be abolished.

THE EQUALIZATION BEL

In the House yesterday the
motion to reconsider the vote
by which Dennis Equalization
bill was lost, lacked two-thirds
of one vote to win. 1t got 26
votes and needed 81 to give it
a quarter of a vote more than
the tWO-thirds Of 40 needed
under susl ension of the rules.
The bill seems to have met with
bad luck all along. Once just
on the eve Of its passage some
one discovered that its history
had not been correctly reported
and it was returned to the SEN
ate. Day before yesterday on
its final passage it got 81 votes,
but McBurney's vote was
wrongly recorded and he did
not know until too late that a
mistake had been made, and
then it required two-thirds
vote to reconsider. The bill
would have made the corpor-
ations pay their just proportions
of taxes and materially reduced
the rate of taxation in other
quarters. 1t is folly to say that
the bill WAS a job of the railroads
from the fact that the railroad
vote has been against it. 1t is
pity that so good a bill should
have met with so many reverses
which led to its final defeat.

Just now the railroad bills are
distracting the attention Of the
Legislature. AS they have about
q third Of their time left, there
is still time to reduce the next
Legislature to forty-five men,

days. There is not a paper in
the State, SO far as we have no.
ticed, but that favors it, for all
recognize the fact that they
waste much more than half their
time in doing next to nothing,
and Nevada is not rich enough
to stand such Injuries any lon

Gambettn,s Private Lie.

A Geneva correspondent writes to
the London Times:
"a Swiss gentleman, who has been
on terms Of great intimacy with Gam
beta, gives, in the Gazette de Lau-
same, some details concerning the
private life of the ex~Dictator. The
writer, after stigmatizing as absurd
and untrue the stories told about the
pistol shot which was the occasion. if
not the cause, Of Gambetta's death,
having been discharged by some hos
tile hand, and repeating the version
OF the occurrence which you have al.
ready given. speaks of bis relations
with Mile. Leonie Leon. 1t is only
right, be says, that Gambettas
friends should rebut the odious cal.
umnies Of which he has been the
object, by a simple and truthful state
ment Of facts, and the facts are
these: Mile. Leonie Leon is the daugh-
ter of an officer of high rank who
died several years ago. She is noT
about thirty five years old. Her face.
though not beautiful, is exceedingly
expressive and sympathetic, and she Is
intelligent and we'll educated. Atthe
time OF the war with Germany she
conceived for Gambetta an ardent adj.
miration, and in 1872 she wrote to him.
This led to an interview, and from
that time TO the end their correspon-
dence and their intimacy continued
without interruption. But they saw
e oh other very rarely, and nearly
always at Vile d'Avray, where he
hardly received any one save Mile
Leon. Nevertheless they EXCHANGED
letters daily, and those who knew
Gamoetta best say that these letters
contained a complete record of
his life, his labors and his
thoughts during the last ten
years of his life. Mile Leon was in
the habit OF giving him an account of
foreign journals and books, which she
read diligently for this purpose. The
question Of marriage was several
times mentioned between them. But
Tor a long time the lady, fearing ihat
,Gambetta's influence might be there
by impaired, refused to become his
wife; Last autumn, however. il Was
hnallyy decided that they should be
married, and Of this several persons
we're informed. All that has been
sara OF a rupture, Of violent scenes
and 50 forth, is false. 1t is equally
false THAT Gambetta was the father Of
an lilegItimate child. The young man
who was supposed to be his son is
seventeen years old, and the nephew

Yesterday at 3 o'clock, the officer.
o. Cumberland Lodge, No. s, assisted

from the other city lodges buried with
Masonic honOrs the remains of their
deceased brother DR. j. II. Mckee. OF
Los Angeles, Cal. He was buried in
a lot in the City cemetery that belongs
to Cumberland Lodge, No. 8. Not a
relative Of the deceased was present
and while the beautiful burial service
OF the Order was being read the mind
wandered away to distant land where
beloved wife and little orphans were
weeping for the loved and lost. Little
did they know of the warm, generous
hearts and kind loving hands that
we're tenderly laying away the casket
from which their beloved Jewel had
but recently taken its fight. But
looking in these manly faces one saw
the index to true Masonic hearts.
Though but few of them had ever
known their deceased brother, yet his
being Mason was a sufficient intro
duction to them to insure their sym
patty, confidence and esteem.
1t portrays fully the principles Of
the order to see men who were com
parative strangers assembling around
the grave of their deceased brother.
and, in the absence of immediate rela-

row over his grave.

found on his person led to the belief
that he was a Mason, and the friendly
telegraph confirmed the belief; and

had never beheld his face before or

THE FATE OF THE TARIFF.
II ANY Revision Is Made Ii Must
Be Decided on Within the
Next Three Days.
Special to c, numerical Gazette.


WASHINGTON. February H. The
fate of the tariff legislation at this
session OF Congress will be settled
within the next three days. Its Low
conceded by the most earnest friends
of the House bill that it is physical
impossibility to pass that measure
during the three weeks remaining Of
the session, and inquiry is naturally
directed to the bill which is practi
cally perfected in the Senate and
which may reach the House on
Wednesday or Thursday. In ordinary
methods of procedure under the
rules of the House the Senate bill
could not be reached for consideration
if any considerable number of mem
bers should decide to interpose par
liamentary obstacles.
The rule of Mr.. Kasson was intro
duced to remove these parliamentary
obstacles, and its effect would be to
enable majority to take up and pass
the Senate bill on motion to concur,
the Tariff Bill having been added as
one amendment to the House Internal
Revenue Bill. The fall scope Of
Kssson's proposed rule having become
known to the members Of the House,
considerable alarm is manifested in
reference to it, and those who prefer
the House bill are pronounced in
their opposition to the passage of
the proposed rule. Should this
rule be adopted, the Senate
bill could be taken up by a majority,
and it is probable that the same vote
which would place the bill before the
House for immediate action would
pass that measure without any debate
or amendment, and by a single vote,
to concur. This is what causes alarm
TO those who regard the Senate bill as
an imperfect measure as compared
with the bill of the House, ant for
this reason they will resist the adop,
ton Of the Kasson resolution.
Those who oppose the adoption Of
the rule would not attempt to prevent
action on the Senate bill in the usual
manner, that is, to take it up, nom
concur in the amendments made to the
internal Revenue Bill, and refer the
matter to a committee of conference
This would furnish an opportunity to
substitute all or part of the House bill
for the action of the Senate, and if no
agreement could be reached touching
the tariff part Of the bill, the Internal
Revenue Bill could be perfected and
passed,
Nothing definite can be said at this
time as to what will be done with
Kasson's resolution, but indications
are that II will not be reported favor
ably by the Committee on Rules, to
whom it was referred. 1t is certain
that the House cannet complete the
Tariff Bill now pending before that
body, and it is almast equally certain
that the only chance for the passage
OF any tariff bill this session is through
the medium Of committee Of confer
ence.

That Irish Bachelor.

The little article in Tuesday s
LEDGER about an Irish bachelor, who
confesses to some matrimonial aspira-
rations, produced a sensation altos
gether unexpected. A food of in
quiries have poured in, anonymous
and otherwise, in regard to his identi-
ty and also as to whether it was a
mere Joke or solid fact. We will
not give the gentleman away by any
means, but we will say that he is on
the anxious seat and is in dead earnest.
We have no special interest in marry
ing him of, except upon the general
principle that it is better to marry
than to dry up in the dreary state of
single unblessedness. The bachelor
in question is solid, matter fact
sort of man, who, by some singular
mishap or sentimental timidity, has
passed his fortieth birthday without
screwing up his courage to the stick
ing point as becomes a man who would
fulfill the whole mission of life. He
is not the handsomsst man in the
world, which makes it all the more
strange, since it is a we'll known
fact that nature usually
compensates such men with
all the necessary assurance to carry
them through, even over their hand
sOmer rivals. This is not saying,
however, that he lacks anything on the
score of looks. lie is, no doubt, fully
as good looking as Colonel Coppinger,
who has married his distant cousin,
Miss Alice Blaine, Of the State of
Maine. For our friend comes from
the Parnell neighborhood in ireland,
and is not so very remotely related to
the ex-senator whose daughter lately
married a gallant Irish bachelor
Colonel. We cannot, of course, betray
any confidence, but We are in a po-
sitiOn to pass introduetions, aud to

grounded upon sympathy, or any seri-

Charles Reade's EpitOme Of
Women.
Interview in PhiladOlphia Piess.

| Interview IN Phlladolpnia Pfe6S.
Mr.. Reade, q recent criticism says
you have studied the woman more
than any man 10 your literary work,
and that you have made her"
"Yes, | saw that. see everything,
but not blindly. 1t is said that /
made her painfully realistic to any
one who looked at her as | did--cross
eyed Not so, my friend, she is just
like a man, like ourselves, but with
certain tendencies we call womanly.
Like ourselves, she ardently desires
love. She knows it is the best, abso.
lutely the best thing the world has to
give; that we are all born for love,
man and woman alike; that to lack
this consummate and supreme bless
ing is to lose the best part of life.
She desires above all things to be
wooed, and is forbidden to
woo on her own account. She
conceals her own thoughts, yet from
her experience in hiding she is quick
at reading the thoughts of others. She
is satisfied with nothing less than she
herself gives, which is all herself.
Her reserve leads her, in the lower
natures, to deceit and falsehood Her
devotion, which is part OF her nature,
leads her also 10 the lower natures TO
suspicion and jealousy. She is al
ways in the house, therefore her
mind is apt to run in narrow grooves
The prodigality and wastefulness of
men are things beyond her under
standing or patience. She is uuvers-
ed in affairs, and therefore under
stands nothing Of compromise. She
is generally ill-educated, aud there
fore is incapable of forming a judy
ment, hence she is carried away by
every word of doctrine; as, for in.
stance, in matters ecclesiastical.
Knowing nothing VI the early church
or It's history, she believes the poor
little ritUalist curate, who knows, in.
deed no more than herself; or on art,
where for want of a standard she is
led astray by every fad and fashion
of the day and worships sad laced
fatness with rapture; or in dress,
where her taste being uucultivated
she puts on whatever is most hideols
and unbecoming, provided it is worn
by everybody else. This is the
woman / present to my readers. She
is not, at all events, insipid-no real
women are. If she is artificial, the
real woman shows from underneath.
What love most is the woman whom
fashion has not spoiled; the feminine
woman with her natural passion, her
jealousy; her devotion, her love of
admiration; her fidelity; her righteous
wrath, her maternal feroeity, her mar.
row faith, her shrewdness -evon her
audscity of falsehOod, when that can
serve purpose, and finally her perfect
self abnegation. That's the woman
that the woman | believe in. That is
the creature that is human. She is
nature"
