AN ATTACK ON NEVADA.

The Baltimore Sun says a Republican
Congressman, whose name it does not
give, who speaks from his own personal
knowledge, in discussing the periodical
walls of some of his associates over the
alleged disproportionate exercise OF po-
litical power by one or more Southern
States, said:
"Nevada furnished really an illustra-
item without precedent or parallel the
world over. Nevada, which has two SEN
ators and one Representative, had not a
bona fide population Of more than thirty
THOUSAND. She was admitted into the
Union twenty.three years ago, and In all
that time not one of the men who had sat
in the Senate as her members could hon.
estly claim residence within her borders.
They are Californians in every sense OF
the term, and controlled always by Cali.
fornian influences. In all parliamentary
history, he said, there never was such a
rotten borough as Nevada. She has two
Senators and three electoral votes, and in
case the election of President should be
thrown in the House of Representatives,
1000 people of Nevada, or rather the
San Francisco ring, through one member
who sits there, would exercise the same
influence as thirty-six members from New
York, speaking for more than five millions
Of people"
There is, and every bona 6de Nevadan
regrets it, much truth in this severe crit.
icism of Nevada, but Congress is in a
great measure responsible for it. 1t ad-
nitted the State when its population and
taxable property were less than they are
to-day. Itcrippled, in fact, almost killed,
its greatest industry, when it passed the
act demonetizipg silver in the interest of
the bondholders, and drove capital and
population from the State. Though its
mines produced hundreds of millions in
gold and silver, and enabled the Govern
ment to resume and continue specie pay
ment, with the exception of beggarly
appropriation, grudgingly granted for the
Carson Mint, it has not expended dollar
from the Federal treasury for any public
purpose in Nevada. 1t hes, by unjust
discrimination against silver, left the
actual residents of the State at the mercy
Of foreign corporations and San Francisco
capitalists, who pollute the ballot-box,
and by the corrupt use of money make
elections farce; but for this unfortunate
and disgraceful state of affairs the bona
fide residents of the State are no more to
blame than the people of Massachusetts,.
Congress is solely and wholly response.
BILE for the existence of Nevada as a State,
and to relieve it from the odium of being
q ''rotten borough" it should increase its
territory by annexation. or appropriate a
few millions from the national treasury,
which is congested with money, for sys.
tenn Of irrigation that will enable settlers
to cultivate it's soil, and thus increase its

clothe the present President with any
additional powers, since he has shown
his utter incompetency TO deal with the
general subject, but let him carry out
the present law, as he is bound TO do,
and this alone may bring Canada to her
senses and secure us ju. tice at her

would be confession by them that
the Presidents conduct in refusing
to carry out the present law was
justified, and would put a power
into his hands which he would wield for
partisan purposes. II is much better to
let the matter lie over till the new Adj

Chinese IMMIGRATION.
The Bill is Debated in the Unitee
States Senate.
PRESIDENTS HINT TO BRITAIN
The Retaliation Message Only a
Sounding of Stage Thundcr-It
isaII Understood on the Other
sIde-Washington News.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept. 4.-The SEN
ate to-day resumed consideration OF the
House bill to prohibit Chinese immiGra-
ton and was addressed. by Mr.. Teller in
support of the bill. He replied to the
argument made yesterday by Mr.. George,
throwing the responsibility for the pres
ence of the Chinese on the Republican
party. He disclaimed such RESPONSE
bility and defended the course OF Mr..
Harrison in his votes in the Senate on
the anti-Chinese legislation. The Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency
had occupied the game position on the
Chinese question as he TELLER had al
ways occupied, and was as sound as any
man in the world on the
question OF Protection TO Ameri-
can labor, whether against the
pauper labor OF Europe or the pauper
labor OF China.
Mr.. Payne inquired whether the Cen
tral Pacific company, oil which Mr. Stan
ford was President, had not imported
MOngOlians to build their road.
Mr.. Teller-No sir, nor any other rail-
road. As to the pending bill, he men
toned the remarkable TACT that it had
been passed by the House without ref
erence to committee, and that IL had
been introduced not by member OF the
committee on Foreign alfairs, but bya
man who in no sense, aud under no
circumstances had the right TO speak
for American labor. Ii he were to look
over the House to select man who
would most fitly represent the American
people he would hardly select that man
who had succeeded i'll getting that bill
through the House in haste. He had
only succeeded because he was Il high
priest in the Democratic church. 1t was
said of him Mr.. Scott that he had given
ten times us much money to the Demo-
rratic campaign fund as the President
hai given, He (TGller) did not know
how true that was, but he did know that
il the gentleman chose 10 give 100000
to the Democratic campaign fund he had
n right to do it. He was able to do it, as
he was said to have made millions ont
Of the laboring men of the country. Mr.
Teller sent to the clerks desk, and had
read, Mr.. Scott's autobiography sketch
in the Congressional Directory, wherein
it is stated that he was born in the Dis
trict Of Columbia was page in the House
Of Representatives from 1910 to 1876;
was einployed as clerk in the shipping
business in Erie, Pa, in '4s was in the
coal and shipping business in 80; was
in the manufacturing OF iron and mining
Of coal, as well us in the construction
and operation OF railroads, and that the
railroads in WHICH he was interested as
officer or director, aggregated $4,000
miles Of completed road. At the close Of
Mr., Teller's speech, tho Chinese bill
went over.
After an executive session the Senate
adjourned.

posed. His attempt to turn the great
Presidential campaign from the issue
that he had himself made and upon
which he saw certain defeat staring him
in the face, into new channel, has dis
gracefully failed. Congress will grant
to the President all the power he asks
for and which it can constitutionally
give. The Republican party will fur
nish him no shadow OF an excuse for
neglecting to put into operation the pol
icy he has pretended to adopt; but
brave us he is, skillful politician that he
is, he will not dare to use the powerthat
will be conferred upon him, and the Sc

LONDON, Sept. 4.-White Chapel has'
murder mystery which transcends any
thing known in the annals OF the horri
bic. 1t is Poe's Murders Of the Rut

nothing less than midnight murderer
whose step is noiseless, whose strike is
deadly and whose cunning is SO great
that he leaves no trace whatever of his
work and no clue to his identity. He
has Just slaughtered his third victim,
and all the women in White Chapel are
terrified, while the stupidest detectives
in the civilized world stand nghast and
say they have no clue. When the mur-
der OF Mary Ann Nichols, who was cut
into ribbons last Friday, was investi-
gated, it became evident that the muir
der was the work OF the same hand that
committed the two preceding ones.
All three were mOneyleSs women OF
the lowest class. All were killed in the
street between and 3 o'clock in the
morning and all were mutilated in the
Name llendish and peculiar way. The
coincidence was so great rs to strike even
the detectives, and they are now looking
for the one man whom they believe to
be guilty Of all three crimes.
This man is called Leather Apron"
and nobody knows him by any other
name. He is u character half way be-
tween Dickens Quilp and Poe's balloon.
