No NICKELs IN NEVADA. = Carson
(Nevada) Tribune: 1t is generally con,
ceded that five cent pieces ought to be
circulated in Nevada, and it is high time
that measures were taken to demand the
same. The buyer of small articles, such
as cigars or glass of beer, has no right
to pay 15 cents when 10 cents is the price
of the article, and the same applies to all
articles purchased in small quantities.
Why five cent piece should be current
in California, Oregon, Washington terri
tory, and in fact on the whole Pacific
coast, and not in Nevada, is an enigma.

If there was one thing more manifest
than another, in the result of the recent
Congressional election in Virginia, it was
that public sentiment was pronounced
against the Morrison free trade bill. Yet
in the face of this every Democratic mem
Der of Congress from this State voted to
endorse that bill on Saturday last In vot-
ing to take it up for consideration. That
vote was regarded as a test vote on the
merits of the bill. 1t is another evidence
Of the contempt Of t he leaders of the
Democratic party in Virginia for the peo-
pie. The motion to consider was defeated
by majority of five, which we hope will
settle that question for the present. at
least, and relieve the country Of ruinous
tariff agitation.

The defeat of the Morrison bill in the
House last Saturday, following so soon af-
ter the defeat of Morrison himself for
Congress, as well as Frank Hurd, and the
narrow escape of Carlisle, with the forced
retiracy of Tucker, will have reassurlng
effect upon the industrial interests of the
country. The effect of similar defeat last
summer of the Morrison bill is felt in all
the mineral districts of the country and
especially the South, and the emphasis
given to that result in the vote last Satur-
day, and the absence in the next Congress
of three of the most prominent free-tra-
ders, will have a very healthful influence

The defeat of the motion to take up the
Morrison tariff bill for considera ton, does
not mean that those who voted against it
were opposed to a reduction of the reve-
nue.. It does mean. however, that the
friends of American industries shall have
a controlling influence. in shaping any
revenue measure. A number of members
who voted with Morrison are opposed to
his bill, but hoped to amend it in Commit
tee of the Whole, so as to make it accep-
table to majority of Congress.

The Defeat of the Morrison Bill.
The Democratic party has received an
other staggering blow. The consideration
of the Morrison Bill has again been defeat
ed. Last Saturday afternoon was the time
set for a vote on the consideration of the
measure in the House, and when the honr
arrived Mr.. Morrison promptly moved to
take up the bill. This brought on the fight
without further parley. The result was
ayes l49, nays 154. a majority of five being
recorded against the bill OF the 149 votes
only six were Republicans-two from Mas
sachusetts and four from Minnesota OF
the l54 negative votes 129 were cast by Re-
publcans. and Sam Randall and twenty
four democrats made up the remainder.
The following members were paired, the
first name in each pair being the name of
the member who would have voted in the
affirmative had his vote been recorded =
Tucker, of Virginia, with Browne, of In
diana Scott, of Pennsylvania. with Little
of Oh 10; Mitchell, of Connecticut, with
Whiting, of Massachusetts !; Glover, Of
Missouri, with Warner, of Missouri Storm
of Pennsylvania, with Henley, of Ca lifor-
MIA; Oates, of Alabama, with Gallinger, of
New Hampshire; Reese, of Tennessee.
with Pidcock, of New Jersey.
Evsry democratic representative of Vir-
ginia voted with the free-traders. and the
two Republicans with the protectionists.
In fact, the line between the two parties
was practically the line between the two
policies. The Republicans ranged almost
solidly for protection for the continuance
of the wise and patriotic measures that
have conferred such benefits; for the up
building of the South and the development
of her resources whilst the Democratic
party presented an almost unbroken front
in behalf OF the democratic pledges, and
against the interests of the people.
This will probably be the end Of revenue
reform in the present Congress, and as the
next House will have but IA very small
Democratic majority, we may look for a
cessation of tariff agitation, a full restora-
tion Of confidence in manufac turing inter
ests, and renewed activity in Southern
investments.

The first day of the trial of the Indian
apolis Democrats accused of fraudulently
altering the tally sheets on the night of the
recent state election, brings out the fact
that the returns were for time in the pos
session of the incriminatedD Democrat sand
that when replaced they were found to have
been altered. This evidence is given by
one of the Democratic judges of elections,
whose testimony can not be claimed as par :
tisan. According to his testimony thir'
teen TALES were taken from the Republi-
can column and sixteen added to the DEM
ocratic column while the sheet was in the
hands of the Democrats. All the evidence
thus far gathered, both inside and outside
of the courtroom. goes to show that there
was as harefaced a Democratic conspiracy
in Indiana to cheat the Republicans out of
United States senator this year as there
was in Ohio last year, and the Citizens
Committee which has undertaken to in
vestigate it should press the matter until
the guilty parties are fully exposed and
punishen.
