SAMPLE sPECAnENS'

denominations made by the Pluro-
Dsmo-Fusion party, one cannot
helm being struck by the relations
,,b;ch some of these queer nomina-
,;ons bear to the tax roll.
Mr.. Judge, the nominee far the
State Senate, and Mr.. {. \. Harris,
are sample specimens of this pc
euliar combination.
Judge is also a practicing attorney
in this city and county, aud has re-
fused to pay his quarterly license
and , Judgment stands against him
in the Courts for the unpaid and
Delinquent license.
Mr.. G. n. Harris, nominee for
District Attorney, is in the same
boat With Judge. He also IS an
attorney IN this city. and as an at
torney is compelled by law to pay
i, quarterly license. The law, how
ever. has not exactly compelled
him 10 pay. He has s,ubbornly re-
fused to pay the license, and a SUIT
was brought by District Attorney
Torreyson in the Justice Court IN
b.balf of the city. The city won
III. suit and the judgment against
Harris still stands; but the law has
never been able to claim It's ewn.
Harris, Ike Judge, beats the city
on the execution.
IL came; be said that either OF
these men are unable 10 pay
their license dues. They are both
lswyers and fully aware that ac-
eor,iinc TO law they should pay the
dues exacted by the State. They
are both grown men, and must
realize the fact that it's only,by the
collection of licenses and taxes that
the city is kept in good, sanitary
condition and its peace preserved.
These monies furnish the fire de-
partment with hose, light the city,
keep the streets in repair and fur
Hish official protection to citizens.
If the house in which either OF
these candidates lived should catch
afre they would both expect the
engines to turn out and suppress
the confiagration. even though they
had so long declined to contribute
money for the fire department.
If Harris is assaulted on the
street he hasteGs to the Cour: and
at once places himself under Its
protection; bu. the quarterly IL
cense which helps keep the Courts
ard peace officers running he stub
borriy refuses to pay.
Now these two men, after refus'
ing for years to contribute TO the
support of the country and obey Its
laws relative to taxes and licenses
call upon the regular taxpayers o.
the county (who bear the burdens
so persistently shirked by Harris
and judge to further burden them
selves by eIecting Harris and Judge
10 lucrative and honorable Of
fees.
If Judge docs not believe ir
obeying the law relative to poi
taxes as it now stands, how can hi
be expected to assist in the max
ing of laws for other people t
obey? If Harris holds that NJ
man need pay any liceuse, how cal
he be expected as the District At
terncy to legally enforce the col
lection of delinquent licenses?
These are matters for the tax
payers of this county to consider be
tween now and the second of mex

issue between Stewart and Fair.
Stewart is the only aggressive can

to challenge any admiration. Its
understood that the legislative
tickets in the various counties are
unpledged. yetthey will naturally ia
yor that candidate who makes it pos
sibie for the Republican party to
win in the Impending political
struggle. Stewart Is making a
masterly campaign, a campaign
that challenges the admiration
even of his political enemies. As
vet Fair is hid away somewhere
on Montgomery street. in San Fran
cisco. Even should he come to
Nevada with his golden shekels to
carry the election by storm We
-opine that he would find Stewards

Republican Cane us.

WAsnINcToS, February 17-There
was caucus of republican senators
this morning. The session was not
of great length, but was productive of
decisive action. A series Of three res.
olutions was submitted by Mr.. Ed
munds.
First, Expressing the opinion OF the
caucus that the action OF the attorney
general in refusing to furnish the in
formation called for by the senate
committee, Of the judiciary. in rela-
ton to the suspended otlicials--no
matter what his motives may have
been, the act is reprehensiblr.
Second, Declaring that in the cases
where nominations have been made
to FL vacancies vacated by removals
and the heads of departing Is refuse
to furnish to the senate the Informs
ton called for, the nominees shall be
rejected.
Third, Condemning the action of
the administration in removing ex-
union soldiers and, appointing in their
places, civilians. There was consider
able discussion over the resolutions
but they were adopted, and Mr.. Ed
munds was instructed to report them
to the senate to-day, when they will
come up for debate.

MorrlsOA's Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, February 15.--Mr.
Morrison's tariff bill, which was in
troduced in the house to-day. it is es-
timated, will make an aggregate re-
duction OF twenty million dollar, OF
the basis OF last years importations
The aggregate reduction by the pro
posed reductions to the free list, is
about five and a half million dollars
In metals, pig iron is reduced from
1912 to $500 per ton. There is 8
reduction on bar iron and rolled iron.
Heavy steel and iron rails are reduce
from $500 to $3.50 per ton. Small
rails weighing less than % pound pei
yard, are reduced from $3.50 per tor
70 $500. There Is also, some redut
ton in lead and copper. The only al
teration'in woods, is in the third class
or coarser woods, for which there art
at present two rates, % cents pei
pound on those which cost u cents OF
under, and B cents per pound above
l2 cents The two classes are anal.
gamated at the common duty OF 2 s
10 cents per pound. On flax am
linen goods, there is a slight general
reduction. The present rates of Al,
35, etc, per cent. are placed generally
FIVE points lower, making an average
reduction Of about Is per cent Su
gar is reduced 20 per cent which will
leave the duty on sugar still about &C
per cent. advalorem. This reduction
is net to apply to sugar I 1m Cub
and other countries, where the export
duty is put on it-because Of the re
duction, in these cases, it is thought
will be met by the increases Of export
duty. There is similar provision, al
to lumber, which is put on The free
list. Canada, the principal source q
supply, will not be allowed to pocket
the duty. The duties on rice, starcl
and marble are reduced.
