THE DUTY OF LEGISLATORS.

If some OF the members elec; to the com
ing legislature should ind liitle time 10 be
stow upon Legislative problems, 10 the exclu-
sion Of Office hunting, they would I'll long
felt want. The Senatorial election Is too faT
Of for decisive bargaining, and il will Be
nearly four months before General Harrison
declares his policy regarding appointments.
In the meantime the State Of Nevada viii
have some claims upon her home representa-.
tives which ought to be respected. The 6TS;
and all important claim IS fOr intelligent
legislation. The great mass of members,
elect ore no. too familiar with the problems
Of SAFE government which they will be call
ed on to solve. They owe it to themselves
10 study the questions upon which they must
record their votes. There is no surer way to
prominence in the Legislature than through
the ability to discuss clearly and intelligent
" the subject before the house. Unfor,u
>nately in Navada too many Of our law max
ers have been willing to take their views
second hand from visiting committees, cor
poration counsel, and stealing statesmen EN-.
pIoyed by enemies of the people to befog
important issues and direct the current Of
legislation into the wrong channels. Igno-
rance, next to yenality, is the easiest prey Of
the lobbyist.
1t would be interesting to know how many
of the members-elect to the next Legislature
have looked up the question Of the State ex-
penditures in connection with the annual ap.
propnaions, and are prepared to suggest a
definite remedy for the extravaganza in the
conduct Of the government.
Our educational interests are great and
growing. Their successful maintenance is
largely dependent upon the proper husband
ing Of the funds derived from the disposal Of
the State lands. In spite of the fact that
scores of Nevadaes are SAID to have become
rich through heavy purchases Of school
land at absurdly low peices, and in face OF
the rapidly dwndling area of educational
lands, it is safe to say there are not half
dozen prospective Legislators prepared to dis,
CusS IC44!SCHt4y dt PLSSSLl tHIS LiOSt M EO4I
ant question.
II the members elect of the coming Legis- |
lature will put in their time for the next two
weeks in seeking for information rather than
for Offices, both TIE public themselves will
be greatly benefited. In the first place
there are no Offices loose in Nevada just at
present, while there are several cogs loose
in the machinery Of government. And, in
the second place, the surest road to polit |
cal prominence which proves the way of po
litical Prcferment, backed by popular endorse
ment, will be found in an intelligent, bold
and manly participation in the work of pub
lie legislation in the peoples interests.-Rs.

Az important improvement in clocks
has been shown the British Association for
the Advancement of Science by Mr.. w. H.
Douglass. The new feature is the torsion
pendulum, which, with lever and escapement
may be applied to ordinary works, and by its
slow rate Of vibration makes practicable the
the conversion of an eight-day clock into one
winding only once year.

Strike Notes.

CHICAGO. March All court pro-
ceedings by the Burlington railroad
against Chief Arthur and the Wabash
railroad were brought to a sudden halt by
Judge Gresham this afternoon. He an
nounced that the whole matter had been
postponed until Monday. The reason for
the delay is ostensibly to give the attor-
neys for the Wabash time to prepare an
answer, but the Burlington did not par
ticularly oppose the postponement.
The relations between the Pan Handle
railroad company and the engineers are
greatly strained by the complications due
to the Burlington strike, and a meeting
of the mems grievance committee was
convened this afternoon to decide the ad-
visibility of declaring a strike on the Pan
Handle.
ST. PAUL, March president Fisher
of the St. Paul & Duluth has notified the
Brotherhood ofLocomotive Engineers that
his road would handle Chicago. Burling-
ton 4 Quincy and Burlington & Northern
cars. The st. Paul & Duluth engineers
say the men on that road will strike with
i'll twenty-four hours.

OMAHA, March &C. j. Greene, gen
eral attorney for the Burlington & Mis-
souri, railroad, brought suit in equity in
the United States court to day and has
obtained a restraining order from Judge
Dundy ~enjoining the Union Pacific rail
road, its officers and agents, and particu-
larry its engineers, from refusing to per-
form their duties under the interstate
commerce law, and also restraining the
engineers of the Union Pacific railroad
from striking or from organizing or com.
bining to direct any strike.
Mr.. Green proceeds upon the theory
that when men combine together for an
unlawful purpose, and in furtherance
thereof agree to strike or to organize a
strike, they thereby place in the hands of
such combination their individual right to
quit employment, and thereafter are the
agents of such combination acting for the
entire body, so that when a strike occurs
each individual not only quits work for
himself but for every other member of
such combination.
The order was served late this after
noon, and a hearing for a permanent in
junction will begin next Monday.

New YORK. March 9.-The stock
market to day was waiting, there being no
developments nor news OF any kind to

under the circumstances traders and scalp

and there were frequent alterations from
strength to weakness and back again,
with no decided progress in either direc-
ton.

The Men willing to ArbItrate.

CHICAGO, March 9.-'The attitude of
the brotherhood at this juncture," said
Chief Arthur this afternoon, when some
time subsequent to Judge Gresham's post
ponement of action he was asked to de-
fine his position, lis practically identical
with the statement which has appeared
most opportuuely." Mr.. Arthur had in
his hand as he spoke an editorial clipped
from a morning paper which has hereto
fore opposed the stand taken by the engi-
neers. This article strongly favored the
resort to arbitration to avert the threat
ened great danger to business. Now"
said Mr.. Arthur, ''the point is that the
brotherhood is and has been ready to sub
NIT the whole matter to three disinter-
ested persons for settlement"
But Mr.. Morton, speaking for the
company, claims that there is nothing to
arbitrate, " said the reporter.
That is a question of fact" said Ar
thur dryly, of which we must allow the
people to be the judge of. If MIR. Nor
tons claim is correct, how is it that the
Burlington company with many hundreds
of miles of country dependent upon it is
not doing thirty per cent of the business
it was when the strike began. The pro-
position is manifestly absurd, not only in
u own interest but in the interest of
the public, which SO far has been the
principal sufferer, and we say there is
ample grounds for arbitration. | want it
to go on record before the public that we
are now as we have been, willing and
ready to arbitrate."

DENVER, March 9.-The accident to
the Union Pacific express near Masters
early this morning is not as serious as at
first reported. The train was running
about forty miles an hour and struck a
broken rail. The engine and every car
left the track and ran some distance on
the ties before being stopped. The pass
engers were badly shaken up but no one
was killed. The only In jured was j. K.
Farley, a baggageman, slightly bruised
about the head, and a lady from Chicago,
hurt about the shoulder and arm. The
wrecked train arrived here this evening
and the injured woman taken to the hos
pital and it is thought she will be able to
resume her journey to San Francisco in a
few DAYS.
