HACK m.snx.s oPINIoN.

Hook Mason Of this State has lately
returned from . visit Of several weeks to
the Capitol Of the Nation. He went on
private business, but during his soiourn
he mixed quite extensively with the pub
lie men Of both parties, and m back
with a good deal Of information on the
political situation. One point oil local
concern is his opinion that the Senate
willnot confirm Irish as Surveyor General
Of Nevada. He thinks well OF Mr.. Stock.
slayer, the new Commissioner Of the
Public Land Office, and says that that
functionary expresses a determination to
do all in his power to promote the survey
and listing of the public lands in the
West, to the end that they may be avail
able to actual settlers in search Of homes.
Mr. Mason speaks very kindly Of the at.
tentions he received at the hands Of Sen.
ators Jones and Stewart, and says they
both extended him every facility and
courtesy in the transaction Of his bust.
ness, besides Throwing him up against"
all Of the big men Of the Nation. Sena-
tor George Hearst presented him to Pres
ident Cleveland in the unceremonious
of handed style peculiar to "old George"
and Hook had a very agreeable chat with
the "great father" in which he was
frank enough to tell the latter that some
Of his official acts were not altogether
acceptable to the people Of Nevada. The
President seemed surprised and asked
for particulars, which Hook proceeded to
furnish. 1t was apparent that he had
not been placed in full possession Of all
the facts in certain cases by his subor-
dinates. Mr.. Mason left with . very
favorable opinion Of the President, be-
lieving him to be q remarkably firm and
sincere man. Hook comes back prepared
to shout for Grover. Indeed, he says
the shouting In the East is mainly in that
direction. From all he could learn he
regards the President as immensely pop
ular with the Eastern masses, and he be-
lieves he will be reelected by the largest
popular vote ever thrown for a Presiden.
tial candidate in this country. John
Sherman, he thinks, has the call for the
nomination on the other side.

DEATH OF ~DORsHEImER.

Ex-Governor Dorsheimer Of New York,
died at Augusta, Georgia. March 9th,
whittier he had gone for the improvement
Of his health. In his death the Nation
loses one OF its most prominent men, and
at the same time 3 very able and trust
worthy citizen. He had been a conspic.
uous figure in public life for twenty
years, always discharging every trust
with marked fidelity to the people. He
was o close personal and political friend
Of the late Mr.. Tilden, and belonged to
the Tilden school Of politics in New York.
A great many people regarded him as the
greatest stumporator in America. Weigh.
ing over three hundred pounds, and being
correspondingly strong Of frame, he had
a powerful voice, capable Of the most fas-
einating meditation. He was, indeed,
a charming public speaker. In the st.
Louis Convention Of 1876, which nomin.
sted Mr.. Tilden for the Presidency, Lieu.
tenant Governor Dorsheimer was made
Chairman Of the Committee on Platform
and Resolutions, and as such reported
the platform of the party to the conven.
ton. 1t was this platform that com.
mitted the Democratic party to the doc.
trine Of excluding the Chinese from our
shores. This was the first declaration
ever made by q National convention on
the subject, or at least the first to take
the ground that the coolie should be to-
tally excluded. The language Of the
plank was that "the gates should be
Theoretically sealed" Col. A. C. Ellis
of Carson and the late A. NJ. Hillhouse
Of Eureka were members Of the conven-
tion from Nevada, and had the most to
do with securing the insertion of SO strong
and straightforward a plank. Both felt
justly proud Of their success, and often
talked Of it after returning to their
homes in Nevada. Dorsheimer rendered
the Pacific Coast a good service in help.
ing to incorporate the anti Chinese plank.
Neither Of the great parties has since
overlooked the subject in constructing
their National platforms. And so it may
be said that little Nevada started the
work on a question that has since come
to be recognized as of National import
ance. We should all have a kindly feel
ing for the man, just deceased, for the
valuable aid which he gave US at a time
when we needed friends. At the begin.
ming Of the present administration Mr..
Dorsheimer was appointed United States
District Attorney for New York City.
but he soon resigned and took the editor
ship of John Kelly's old paper the Eve
ming Star. The Star, under Mr.. DORIS
heimer, speedily became one of the ablest
political organs in the United States, and
was more frequently quoted for its polit-
ical opinions than any other New York
journal. 1t grew prosperous and iniu-
entail in a large degree. 1t will be well
if it shall survive the loss Of it's great
editor.

The Central Pacific.

The Virginia City Chronicle says
The Central Pacific railroad cares no
more for the wishes Of the people Of
Nevada than any organized band OF
plunderers would care for the sufferings
of a plundered village. These cormo-
rants, not satisfied with the use OF
their moneyed power during the ses-
sion of the last Nevada Legislature
add insult to injury by the manner in
which they are misusing our citi-
zens. The hours late, whilst
carloads of the most mails are
invariably from two to three
valuable and needed freight are be-
hind time TO such an extent that all
classes suffer. This company Of rob-
beers treat the people of this State
as a community of slaves who are at
their beck and nod. Is there no rem.
edy?

SHERMAN AND THE TAHITI.

Inasmuch as Senator John Sherman OF
Ohio is q leading Republican statesman,
and a prominent candidate for the Presi-
dency, his u~tterances on the subject Of
tho tariff are important. At q recent
banquet Of the Home Market Club Of
New York he pronounced for tariff re.
form as follows:
"You may ask me what | have to say
about tariff reform. l answer that l am
decidedly in favcr Of tariff reform, and
always have been, aud will always be.
How would l reduce surplusi l answer
frankly the tariff ought to be carefully
revised, with q view to correct any ine-
qualities or incopgruities that have grown
out Of q change Of values since the pas
sage Of the Act OF 1888; that every i'm.
ported article which does not compete
with our domestic industry and is essen.
tial TO the comfort and wants Of our peo-
pie should be placed upon the free list;
that every raw material OF industry
which does not compete with our own pro-
auctions should be specially selected for
the free list; that whenever any industry
which can be conducted in this country
with reasonable success needs o moderate
increase Of duty for its protection 10
should be made"
II any Democrat had said as much he
would be called q free trader. And yet
all sensible men. who know anything
about the question, admit that there
should be changes in the present tariff
law, not in the direction of free trade,
but to the end that existing inequalities
NAV be removed. Sherman states the
view Of the case that we have always ad.
vocated. Mr.. Blaine himself in answer
to the Presidents message confessed that
there should be changes made in the law.
going so far as to insist that tobacco
should be relieved Of all taxes. We are
not in favor Of making any luxury free.
The changes required in the tariff are an
increase Of taxes on the Injuries and a
corresponding decrease in the necessaries
OF life. Under the tariff law as it stands
to-day the necessaries are taxed high and
the Injuries low. 1t is a rich mans tariff.
and against the poor man. 1t is a low
duty for the rich, and q high duty for
the poor. The great staples consumed
by the poor people of the land are taxed
from % to 30 per cent higher than the
articles which find their way into the
houses Of rich families exclusively. 1t is
in these particulars that the law should
be revised. There should be little med
ding with the general average Of the
protection afforded, but there are a good
many kinds in the law which should be
eliminated. What is cut off in one place
should be put OF in another, thus pre-
serving and maintaining the great Ameri-
can doctrine Of protection, but in a man.
ncr that both the rich and the poor shall
share equally in its benefits.

EX-GOVERNOR ADAMS.

We note by the Carson papers that
Ex-Governor Adams, with Mrs. Adams,
are visiting friends in California. There
is no couple in Nevada who pay s~tricter
attention to social obligations than the
Ex-Governor and his accomplished wife;
and it is a mighty nice and correct thing
to do in anybody who can find the time.
There is too little cultivation Of the So
cial side OF life in Nevada. We have all
been too busy in the push and rush of
business here. as q rule, to say more than
"good morning" to our neighbors. 1t Is
time to drop the high pressure race after
wealth, which few attain, and devote .
little more attention to the social inter-
course and enjoyments which prevail in
all the older States and communities.
There ought to be more in life than mere
money getting. There are ten thousand
things that we like better than money,
and so it is with all Of us il we will only
pause to think about it. Cordial FRIEND
ship and good fellowship are not the least
Of these in bringing comfort and content
ment as we journey through this vale Of
tears. Social amenities and ties are quite
as important as more material things.
They are not exactly bread and meat,
but they come next in order in our Amer
lean civilization. The people Of Nevada
are justly renowned for their hospitality
and liberality. In the transition from
the hurry and scurry Of mining camp life
to permanent homes and attachment for
the soil. the higher pleasures resulting
from refined social intercourse can hardly
fail Of the fullest realization in our State.
But we must all go slower and learn that
there is something in life besides grab.
bling for the almighty dollar.

JOHN BaIGuT's LATEST SPEECH.

John Bright enjoys the reputation Of
being one OF the farest-seeing of English
statesmen. He has reached that age in
life where he can have no motive in con.
cealing his views on any public question.
He made a notable speech at the dinner
given to the Hon. Joe Chamberlain at
Birmingham recently. In substance he
stated his belief that Canada would ulti-
mstely cut loose from the Imperial Gov
eminent and drift into political union
with the United States. He stated as
the groundwork Of his opinion that the
demand for commercial union with the
United States was so strong on the part
of Canada, that political barriers could
not long stand in the way of the change
which he predicted. Bright thought that
free commercial relations between Canada
and America was a thing Of the not dis
tant future, and when that day should
arrive there would be but few remaining
ties to bind the Dominion to the mother
Government. There can be no question
that Bright has a clear conception of the
course OF events under certain contingent
ciss. Stranger things than the peaceful
absorption of Canada by the United
States have happened in this world. A
dividing line, most of it an imaginary
line. 5000 miles long, between two peo-
pies speaking the same language and
maintaining a civilization of the same
high order. is not an insurmountable bar.
rier to closer political friendship and
union. These conditions are, as a matter
of fact. a standing invitation and induce
ment to such a eonsummation. When
ever the United States shall conclude to
change her policy to one Of acquisition
she will have very little trouble in ex-
tending her boundaries either north or
south. And who knows but what in the
the years to come the last broad acre on
the North American continent will be
consecrated to liberty under the Ameri-
can flag? 1t was the dream of some OF
our earlier statesmen. Benton limited at
it and Seward, when he made the Alaska
purchase. proclaimed it as the manifest
destiny Of this country. The child may
be now born that will witness the reali.
cation of Stewards prophesy Of manifest
destiny.

There is just now g lull in the business
Of President making. For two weeks
the papers have been almost silent on the
subject. As q matter OF fact there is
nothing to discuss on the Democratic
side. 1t is clear. and has been for six
months, that Cleveland is to be the nom-
inee without opposition and that settles
it. On the Republican side the situation
is still in a state Of the utmost confusion.
No man of that party seems to forge
ahead prominently for the nomination.
Public opinion has not crystalized OF any
particular man. and no one in particular
has been specially benefited by Mr..
Blaine's withdrawal. Sherman perhaps
gained more than any one else from this
cause. but he does not appear to have
peer making great strides of late. Ores
ham is being a little more talked Of than
formerly, but the trouble seems to be
with Gresham that he doesn't care to
contest Harrison's claim to the Indiana
