The conviction Of John Cardelli, the
cattle thief, and his sentence TO five years.
imprisonment at hard labor, may be set
down as q noteworthy triumph of justice.
Says the Virginia Enterprise: Cardelll
was ably defended, and his counsel
succeeded 10 hanging one jury and Sc
cured q three-hours' elaboration Of the
second twelve men, who found the de-
fendsnt guilty. District Attorney
stephens deserves much credit for the
manner in which he handled this case,
and the Vail brothers, who are the chief
sufferers from Cardelli's d~epredations, are
to be congratulated upon their energy
and skill in the pursuit Of tho thief.
These young men are recent settlers.
They brought capital into the State
and have gone extensively into the bust
ness Of stock raising. They were, no
doubt, considered to be fair game for
whoever saw fit to help themselves to their
property. Annoyed by the raids of cattle
thieves, they offered q reward for the ar
rest and conviction Of the guilty ones.
The arrest and Indictment of John Car
DELI soon followed, and after two trials
the defendant was convicted, yesterday re-
ceiving his sentence. Cardelli may con-
slider himself very fortunate that his
crime was not committed in Texas, Ari- |
iona or Kansas, where the courts are sell
dom troubled with investigating such
charges, but where vigilantes impose a
swift and terrible retribution. The con-
\ and - H. -
shows that our courts and juries are fully
able to discipline all such offenders, and
afford a guarantee that stock.raisers in
Nevada will be fully protected In the pur-
suit Of their business.
Chinese In the Public Schools.
June II, 1883, the Daily Index pub
lished an opinion rendered by Superin.
tendent G. s.. Young in reference to the
of Chinese in the public schools.
1t was the opinion Of the head of our edu-
c~ational department that neither the Con.
nor the statute prohibited the
admission of Chinese children as pupils
in bur public schools. Since rendering
this opinion, says the Index of the LIST in.
slant, the question has been agitated in
State in the towns OF Candelaria,
Eureka, Reno and other places, and only
recently in the schools of Hawthorne and
Toano. just now there is a special de-
mand for this opinion, and it would seem
tie proper thing to do to submit a test
to the Supreme Court, as has been
done in California. There Superintendent
of Public Instruction Welcker decided
that the Chinese children had no right to
receive an education from the public
school funds. The Courts of the State,
however, decided differently, and in San
Francisco the Board of School Directors
have been compelled TO build schoolhouses
for the especial accommodation Of Chinese
children. As was decided by the Supreme
Court Of Nevada twenty years ago in the
case Of the admission in the public schools
Of David Stutemeyer, a colored minor, so
under the Constitution and laws of our
S tate there seems to be no discrimination
against the Chinese in educational ad-
nor inhibition on their attend
anee on our public schools.
