II, Fridge nj the Three Sisters.

The wording of tho new bill recently in
troduced in tho house Of representatives
providing for u new bridge across the Poto-
mac at the Three Sisters has given rise to
considerable comment as TO tho expense tho
district would be liable to if tho bridge is
erected. The bill provides that the district
shall bear one-fourth of the original cost Of
erecting tho bridge, but does not specify
from what portion of the district revenues
tho expense shall bo paid. The United
States contributes TO tho revenues one half
of the whole amount, aud both the people and

PRIMARY TESTS.


Many persons appear to labor under
the impression that by voting at prl'
mary election, under the pfesen, law,
they obligate themselves by oath 10
support the nominees of that party,
under any and all circumstances, atfhe
general election Such is not the case,
nor was the law designed to have any
such effect. The officers of primaries
are empowered TO administer oaths TO
persons offering TO vote. The april
cants are sworn to answer truly sueh
questions as may be asked them con-
cerning their qualifications as electors,
and also andcr the test prescribed by
the Committee calling the primary,
and Ia anyone shall wilfu,y answer
any pertinent question falsely, or make

the officers for the purpose oil voting,

ever, be done wilfully and with the
intent TO deceive, to constitute crime.
The test prescribed by the Democratic
State Central Committee is in effect as
follows: Will you support the nomi-
nees of the Democratic National and
State Conventions" Suppose voter
Of the primary is challenged, and after
being sworn. answers the above ques-
ton In the affirmative. He answers in
good faith and at the time fully intends

nistic TO- his political belief, is anyone
foolish enough to think that in not
voting for those Objectionable nomi-
nees or principles, he is guilty of
either moral or legal perjury? The
idea b absurd. A. law obligating a
man to vote against his conscience
would be clearly unconstitutional.
outrageous, and In every respect
antagonistic to public policy. The
law was enacted for the purpose of
preventing, as far as possible, frauds
at primary elections, by placing them
under certain legal regulations and
restrictions. The oath to applicants to
vote was designed to enable the officers
of the primaries TO ascertain, by close
questioning, whether or not the person
offering to vote was acting IN good
faith and at the time intended TO act
with the party at the election. 1t was
not intended TO bind men beforehand

them and whose support would in
volve violation of conscience or
principle. Such construction would
be an. outrage upon the political rights
of the people and would keep every

from participating in any manner in

WILL PROBABLY RUN.


Tildcn has announced frequently
that he does not wish to be candidate,
and 1t is but fair to assume that he is
sincape, but the circumstances may be
such, and from the present outlook
probably WILL, that it will be necessary
for the chance of party success that he
should consent to be tho candidate.
All the other Democratic leaders are
psrtisans on one or other side Of the
tariff question, and whichever may be
their position, they have antagonized,a
lhrge portion of the party vote. Tilden
has announced no policy, as his favor
tie, and is new about the only man of
prominence in the party who has been
careful enough to avoid making enc
mics by too positive atterances, and if
his party interests demand his name
he will doubtless be persuaded to
again become the candidate.

THE free trade advocates are incite,

THE free trade advocates are melted
by their immediate financial interests,
as are. indeed, all, or nearly all people,
who saks, strong sides on any question
of national policy. Having agsicul.
tural produce in one form or another
to dispose of, and having manufac-
tuwd articles to, purchase, they wish
to bring the cost of production down,
aud are willing to put labor in this
country into competition with that of
Europe. Free trade means that me-
chanics must work for the same prices
rs prevail in Europe, or not work at
all. II means that wages must go
down to the, European Standard or
that manufacture must cease in Amer
lea, for purchasers will buy in the
cheapest market, and the cheapest
market is where the work can be done
cheapest.

FOR CONGRESS.

Judge Curler, of Esmeralda County,
is mentioned as the Republican can
didate for Congress.-CaPso7t Tribune.
Few men would make better Con-
gresham than the gentleman men
toned by the Tribune. Although the
suggestion comes from another county,
il meets with hearty response from
Esmeralda. This county makes no
claim this time for any other gift from
the Carson Convention, hut it would
Ike to see Judge Curler receive the
nomination for Congress. He is a
gentleman of Independent means and
equally independent spirit. Fearless
in the expression of his opinions, with
great ability and a ready discrimina-
ton between right and wrong, he
would make a member for the people,
who, while not resorting to the clap
trap Of the demagogues, would not be
influenced by the money of corpora
tions. independent enough TO be
beyond the reach Of moneyed influence,
he would also be bold epough to pro-
tect either the poor or rich in their
rights. A sound Republican, but
popular with both parties, Judge Cur
Ter would be candidate whom it
would be almost impossible to defeat.

THE authorities of Louisville, Ky,
have issued an ordered prohibiting the
wearing of Mother Hubbard dresses
on the street While the style of
dress is one as to which tastes differ
materially, it seems as though an ordi-
nance against its appearance on the
streets is contrary TO the spirit of our
Constitution. Sumptuary laws do not
exactly doyetail with American ideas
of freedom, and if the ill-fitting, I'M
graceful Mother Hubbard does not
suppress itself by its own ugliness,
the authorities should let it flourish in
peace. One can imagine the trouble
which would arise if The women of
Oregon, who are there the ruling class,
should set their faces against the com.
ing style of knee pantaloons and
striped stockings for gentlemen's dress
suits.

FREE TRADE OR PROTECTION.

If the Democratic Congress COM
mits its party TO free trade it can never
again hope for success. The free
trade vote of the South is broken, by
the introduction of manufacturing
interests which demand protection
and, while there are Republicans
whose interest will be furthered and
who, following the unacknowledged
rule of politics, will belong to the
party which would help fill thelrpursc,
there are not enough to compensate
for the loss sustained. Even were
the Free trade Republicans as numer-
Gus as the Democrats who favor tariff,
their interests are not so strong or direct
as are those of the manufacturing
Democrats, and it is unquestionable
that the party which announces itself
in favor of protection of American
labor will gain an easy victory over
the one which advocates free trade.

TIE Cincinnati riot at first called
attention to the escape of criminals,
through technicalities, and to the dis
reputable means and eXpedients some
times resorted to by INSCRIPTIONS
LAWYERS in their efforts to defeat jus
tice IN criminal cases. From this
beginning the application is extended
and now attention is attracted to the
practices of attorneys who make use
of the quibbles and techmecalities of
their profession in assisting dishonest
debtors to defraud their creditors. 1t
should be remembered that the legal
profession is mostly followed by high
minded honorable men, and that the
trickery which has brought suspi.
cion on the name of lawyer is only
practiced by disreputable few.
These few have, however, been able to
make the law assume the semblance
of an instrument for wrong doing. 1t
is not ability, but the willingness to
stoop TO knavery which constitutes
the successful petti-fogger, who, in
capable of good is able to do wrong to
the extent of making the methods of
the law a hindrance to the collection
of honest debts. These men are now
being observed, and instead of, as
heretofore, their methods being looked
upon as shrewd, people have had their
eyes opened and only view with con
tempt and distrust those who are indif
ferent to all rules of right and prostitute
their honorable calling to the service
