TIE WOODEN SCREW IN POLL


The Hon. Joe Chamberlain OF Her Ma
jesty's Tory Government, was recently
over in this country with others to ar
range with Secretary Bayard the treaty
relative to the Canadian Fisheries. Joe
talked about q good many things, other
than the treaty while in this country, and
the Eastern papers got hold OF some OF
his unofficial conversations. Among other
things he attempted to show the folly OF
our protective tariff laws, as most Brit
ishers are won't to do. II appears that
the Hon. Joe is at the head OF a wooden
screw mandatory in England, at Biz.
mingham, we believe. There is a duty
Of about thirty per CEN on wooden screws
in this country. For a long time Cham
berlain's works were in the habit Of pay
ing this and getting their screws into the
American market. But our home manu-.
facturers Of the same article finally de.
vised a way to keep out foreign competi.
ton. They adopted direct methods and
it worked to 8 charm. II was nothing
short of paying Chamberlain n hundred
thousand dollars a year to keep his screws
at home, which sun he has, and is still
receiving annually. OF course he made
the point that this bonus came out Of the
pockets of the consumers Of screws in the
end and all on account OF the tariff, for.
getting that IL is quite within the range
Of possibility for those to whose interest
it may be to buy off opposition and COM
petition tariff, or no tariff. We see moth
ing SO profoundly astute in Chamberlain
reasoning. even though some Eastern pa
pers are parading it as the biggest thing
out on the American system Of the tariff,

THE BENSON LAND FRA UDs.

Benson, the great swindler in public
land surveys under the last ~administra-
tion is still in jail in San Francisco, I'M
able to give.bonds. The present admin
istration detected his ~rascalities and
caused his indictment. He fled the coun.
try, but was pursued and brought back.
His swindles were conducted under what
was known as the Deposit System in the
land laws, since amended. His operations
were vast, covering millions of acres Of
the public domain now tied up from the
actual settler, pending investigation to
determine which surveys are correct and
which fraudulent. The Nevada Bank
cashed his certificates for a long time,
and was finally caught with nearly two
hundred thousand dollars worth Of the
worthless paper. Benson operated quite
extensively in Nevada, and there are
people here who know more about his
fraudulent methods than they are likely
to tell. The ring embraced members in
a half dozen States and Territories. We
have heard limitations that two or three,
then residents of this State, got hand
some dividends from the operations of
the gang. The Government has not thus
far done much in Nevada to unearth the
great steal, Notwithstanding there is a
good field here for investigation. Per.
haps enough has been found elsewhere to
convict and punish the swindlers. 1t is
notorious that a large part of the Hum.
boldt desert was surveyed ion paper by
Benson and his crowd on the applications
OF alleged settlers seeking homesteads.
When other fields shall have been ex.
hausted it will be well for the Govern
ment Inspectors to look at the archives
Of the land department in Nevada. We
are reliably informed that their search
will not be in vain. In the language Of
the lamented Hendricks, "turn the sun.
light Of heaven in on the books"

FREE BIBLES.

Bibles are put on the free list in Mr..
Mills tariff bill. They have hitherto
been taxed about thirty per cent ad va
loren. They have never formed an i'm.
portant item of revenue to the Govern
ment. The importations were too scat.
teriDg and the consumption too limited
in this country. With the gospel free.
there may be a reaction in the other
direction. We don't know why they
should ever have been taxed. Per.
haps the idea was TO protect some
Bible industry. But that was illib-
eral and unchristian like. The good book
itself proclaims the universally of it's
doctrines; that its teachings, like the
dews Of heaven, should fall evenly and
imperceptibly on all the sinners OF all
the earth. w are for free religion and
untaxed Bibles. We are in favor Of
everybody skinning his or her own eccle.
siastical eel in his or her own way, and
we want the mean easy of access for
them to do it with. That is likewise the
Constitution of the United States and
the corner stone of our liberties. There
should be no tariff on salvation. MI.
Mills has got one item in his bill that
everybody can shout for.

THE LADIES INTEREsTED.

The ladies' Of the land should feel Q
deep interest in the success Of the Mills
tariff bill. If it should pass they would
be able TO buy about one.third more for
their money Of certain lines when they
go shopping" As arule they are close
traders and drive the very best bargains
that are to be had. Cloaks. dolmans,
wraps and other articles Of that character
are put on the free list. They have hith.
erto been taxed from forty to sixty-ive
per cent. All wooden goods and Aannels
are also to be considerably reduced. In
fact the whole paraphernalia worn by
women and children, especially Of the
warmer materials, are to be greatly
cheapened under the Mills bill. We are
not Logging for the bill as q whole. and
don't care to set all Of the ladies in the
country to pulling for it, but IL is just as
we'll that the dear creatures be informed
of what is being attempted in their in.
terest. There is millions ia it for the
women OF America.

INTERESTED IN CALIFORNIA.
All the Money Goes 90 California
for Investment

for Investment.
The Carson Appeal says that when.
ever q man makes a stake in Nevada
he almost Immediately invests it in
California. There are plenty Of good
opportunities for investment right
here in Nevada, but somehow the
home Of the Goblin moth, the
woody aphis, the San Jose scale, the Los
Angeles oranges pest and the San Der.
nardino phillcxera is the Mecca for all
available Nevada capital.
A number Of our leading citizens have
large land interests in California. None
of these people, however, think enough
Of the misty, miasmatic, malarious country
to live in it. They are willing to speculate
there, but when it comes to enjoying
good health. associating with Christian
people and keeping their lives in good
order the year round. Nevada is by all
odds the best place for EN-.
The Reno Gazette is another bowler
for California. 1t is run by two ex.State
officers who are interested in Q Rio Bonito
land scheme, and in fact about all Of
Reno is interested in the California
colony Of Rio Bonito, Thermalito or
Thingumbobville on the banks Of the
roaring Feather river. and when q man
reaches Reno and talks about settling
down, some Remote whips out a map Of
these colonies and wants to sell him a lot.
OF course all this is business. and q man
has a right to make money whenever he
can.
Perhaps the Appeal is too much carried
away with an honest pride in Nevada to
look at things in any other light than
from q pure and wholesome sagebrush
standpoint. All the money, or most Of
il, dug out Of our hills is sent right down
to California for investment.
We would like to see somebody set the
fashion Of investing it hear for . while.
We are confident that the returns will be
nat as big.

President Cleveland has maade an
other of his insulting and degrading
vetoes in the case of Comrade Ferris,
of Missouri. The following in an ex-
tract from his endorsement or veto:
The ingenuity developed in the con-
stant and persistent attacks upon the
public Treasury by those claiming
pensions, and in the incre ase of those
already granted, is exhibited In bold
relief bv this attempt to include sore
eyes among the results of diarrhea.
If the president was not so disgrace
fully incompetent, and bull-headed. he
would have made some inquiries be-
fore penning such twaddle. 1t is well
known that thousands of cavalrymen
were ruptured by their saddles, and
the best ocnlists in the country have
declared time and again that chronic
diarrhea was the cause of many cases
of defective vision. But what more
can be expected of such q man, or the
party to which he belongs. He has
been amusing himself for years writing
vetos. The veterans now have a
chance to try their hands at vetoing.
Let them improve the opportunity.

Harrison is never drunk, and has nev-
