rIouI our oDeclal correspondent,
WAsHINGToN, D. c., April 5, 's6.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was generally believ.
ell that when the Edmunds resolutions
were passel by the Senate last week
that the matter had been finally dis
posed of. Practically, however. the
debate has been resumed. though the
public will no longer be afflicted, as the
scene of the battle has been transferred
to the secret executive sessions and Re-
publican caucuses. The Republicans
have discovered that they are as much
, at sea as ever as to how executive nomi-
nations are to be treated. The trouble
originated in some very pain words
used by Senator Logan regarding the
hypocrisy of some of his colleagues i'm
proposing to confirm Internal Revenue
Collectors Immediately after declaring
themselves in favor of the Edmunhs
resolutions. The Illinois Senator's 5
speech led to replies from several Sena-
tors, and these in turn to others, until
the Republicans found themselves so
thoroughly tangled up that it became
necessary to call caucus to set them
selves right again. The question, con-
eerning which there seems to be q differ
ence of opinion, is as to whether the
Edmunds resolutions shall be considered
as basis for future action, or as a mere
ennnciatiOn of principle,
The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs voted on Friday to favorably
report the bill authorizing the President
to invite the Governments of Mexico,
Central and South America TO ioin the
United States in a conference to consider
questions relating TO the business rela-
tions between the countries, and to en-
courage such reciprocal commercial
relations as will benefit all.
Judge Thatcher, of Kansas, late
member of the South American Com
mission, called upon the President on
Friday. He stated to Mr.. Cleveland
what in his opinion was needed to foster
commercial relations between the united

States and South America. He said
that steamship lines were required to
carry the products of this country to
those parts Of the world. and that such
lines could not be established unless the
Government encouraged capitalists TO
invest their money in this way by liberal
compensation for transportation of the
mail.
The House has spent most Of the week
IN discussing the Labor Arbitration
bill. Many amendments have been
made, great variety Of opinions have
been expressed during the debate, and
although there is no prospect of an inn
mediate disposition of the bill. II is
quite certain that IL q vote Is reached il
will be in favor of the bill, principally
because majority of the members pre-
fer to go before a constituency of work.
men with a record Of having labored in
their interests. There. are many, how
ever. who believe that the bill will never
be voted upon, and there is no doubt
but that in its present form il is open to
serious objection.
The sudden and serious illness of Ser
retary Manning has led to an investiga-
tion of the sanitary condition cf the
Treasury Department building. which
results in the disclosure of some start
ling facts. 1t was found that sewer
pipes running beneath the floors of the
corridors In the basement had not been
cleaned during the past ten years, and a
mass Of debris having accumulated in
the pipes free circulation of air was
prevented. Breaks in the pines allow
fonl air to escape. To this deplorable
and dangerous condition of affairs is
doubtless due much of the sickness
which has prevailed among the inmates
of the building. There are more than
2OO0 persons regularly employed in the
uilding, in addition to the great num-
Ter of parsons whose business requires
them to visit the Department daily.
An appropriation of 100000 has been
asked for, for use in improving the SAM
tary condition and ventilation of the
building. 1t is proposed to place fans
in the four interior corridors of the sub
basement to force the air into the rooms
by means of flues or pipes. During the
winter the air will be passed over coils
of steam pipes, and thus heated before
entering the rooms. II,

AGAINST GAMBLING.
prise takes strong

The Enterprise takes strong
grounds against gambling, and re-
marks editorially: Don't make Ne
vaGa a gambling hell,
The APPEAL fully agrees with
the Enterprise, theoretically, as re-
CARDS gambling. When it asks the
Legislature not to make Nevada q
gambling hell, it overlooks the fact
that it has been a gambling hell for
twenty years. The men who first
framed the laws, however, had
enough business sense to turn the
gambling mania to some practical
use so that good came out of evil.
4 tax has been placed on the
money that goes over the faro lay
out so that it has built school
houses all over the State and helped
to educate the children of the sage
brush.
The Reno Gazette holds that the
children should receive their edu-
cation from a pure and unpolluted
source" and not from gambling
money.
This is we'll enough from purely
sentimental standpoint. but a. >
matter of fact 500 that comes

ton, the School Board could End
plenty of good use for 1t.
Money has no individuality and
q $50 piece is worth $50 anywhere
yeu find it. Now the APPEALS
idea of State Lottery is one that
will be conducted on the square by
reliable men, that the thousands of
people who buy lottery tickets In
this State may get some show for
their money instead of patronizinG
the New Orleans lottery against
whose integrity the gravest charges
have been made. Let the tax on
the lottery be 80 high that $4,000
a year can be turned into fundfor
the State to establish an Immigra-
ton Bureau to advertise the ex-
haustle.s resources of Nevada to
the world. This amount used for
such a purpose would bring an i'm
migration here that would double
our population every five years.
Now if the Legislature does not see
fit to do this then let them pass
bill wiplng out all the gambling
games in this State and making the
mere possession of lottery ticket
a misdemeanor punishable by a
heavy fine.
Let US either have all kinds Of
gambling here (since VIC have all
kinds but one) or no gambling at

NEVADA NOT REPRESENTED

Nevada Is unrepresented in the
United States Senate at the present
session. As neither Of our Senators
is in Washington, no complaint is
made. 1t will not do fer the Repub-
lican papers to howl about the alb
sence Of Senator Fair nor for the
Democrats to attempt to make po-
litical money by the absence Of
Senator Jones. for, as they say in
euchre games, "honors are easy.
While it is true that the interests
of the State are not suffering from
its being unrepresented in the Sen
ate, the fact is apparent to all that
if the Senators from other States
acted like those from Nevada there
could be no session Of Congress.
If it is necessary that Congress
should meet, it is the duty Of every
Senator and Representative, not
prevented by illness to attend 1t, as
each and all should share alike in
its duties and responsibilities.
The above from the Silver State
Democratic newspaper is true and
we reglet that it is true. We can
recall the time however that when
Stewart was Senator he seldom
missed a roll-call, and he will be in
his seat next session tending to his
duties.
