THE CANAL.

We are pleased to note that a bill au.
thorizing the construction Of this canal
has passed the Senate of the United
States by the decisive vote of 80 to Is.
The bill carries no subsidy, and really
does nothing more than show a friendly
interest in the enterprise. But it is right.
1t is in some sense a reassertion Of the
Monroe doctrine, which had almost be-
come obsolete. 1t is a notice to Euro
pean powers that the United States in
tends to have a say in any canal that
connects the two oceans. The bill which
has just passed, provides that our Gov.
eminent shall have the right to assume
complete control over it in case of war.
This is what the Monroe doctrine really
meant-that this Government would
view with alarm any en~croachment by
foreign Governments on the rights of our
neighbors to the southwark. The French
should never have been allowed to 60 SO
far with the De Leseps canal. But the
American people are to be congratulated
that their own Government is beginning
to wake up on this great international
question,

sHERMAN,s BOOM.

All accounts from the East agree that
Senator Sherman is making the strongest
dash for the Republican nomination for
the Presidency. He is making an organ
lied, systematic fight, while the other
aspirants seem to be trusting to luck, and
are allowing their chances to drift as they
may. This state of affairs must tell In
the end largely in favor Of the "Mans.
field Icicle." Besides his great wealth
will be used literally in securing dele
gates to the National Convention, and in
holding them to his support after he gets
them there. 1t is announced from WASH
ington that an important conference Of
his friends was held there last week, and
it is given out that these friends were
amazed at his great strength in all parts
Of the country, and more especially in the
South. Malone is to take care Of Vir-
ginia, Sergeant-at.A Arms Kannady Of the
Senate has agreed to deliver North Caro-
lima, ex-G ongressman Lynch promises
Mississippi, and Congressman Bob Small
guarantees South Carolina. Other strong
forces are at work in the west Of the
Southern States, notably ex.Senater Will
liam Pitt Kellogg in Louisiana. Nor are
the Northern States being overlooked. A
strong s~prinkling Of Sherman delegates
are expected from all over that section of
the Union, with Ohio, Wisconsin and
Rhode Island solid. He is weakest on
the Pacific Coast, and should be, but if
the situation is correctly delineated, he
will be the most formidable candidate
competing for the nomination. by long
odds. He seems destined to be almost
within striking distance on the first bal.
lot. As the case stands to-day, Sherman
should sell first choice in the pools at the
odds Of ten to one. The drift of Repub-
lican opinion in the East seems to be to
Sherman and Hawley, as the two names
to head the Republican hosts in the year
of our Lord 1855.

We read in a California exchange that
lately in San Joaquin valley they bad .
grand roundup Of jackrabbits. The far
mers for Fifty miles around turned ont to
aid in the drive and the work Of destruc-
ton. The account further tells us that
the days work Melted the prodigious
sum Of sixteen thousand Of the pests slain
on the spot. Not q j~ackrabbit escaped
to tell the tale. The farmers had con-
structed q peculiar wire corral into which
their game was driven. A local news
paper exultingIy congratulates its bucolic
readers, and predicts that a few more
such brilliant achievements will exter-
inmate the whole pestiferous breed in San
Joaquin. 1t appears that the deep SHOWS
Of Winter drive these rabbits from the
mountains into the valleys, where they
remain until Spring, when they again
betake themselves to higher attitudes,
moving everythingin their course. They
are a curse and a scourge to the fruit
growers and farmers both in the valleys
and the mountains. We may fsvorably
place Nevada in contrast with our neigh
boring State in the matter Of freedom
from pests Of all kinds. There is no place
in the Union so highly favored as Nevada
in this regard. Who ever heard Of flea,
or a yellow jacket. or, that terror Of the
small boy, q bumblebee in the Sagebrush!
There are but few spots, and for q brief
period in Summer, where the mosquito
carries on business in this State. OF jack
rabbits we have a few, it is true, but not
more than sufficient to supply the do
nestle needs of the Shoshones and Piutes
among us. So, taking our much-abused
and little understood State as a whole,
we enjoy here greater immunity from
animal and insect annoyances than the
people of any other portion Of the Ameri'
can Union. Not even the rest Of the arid
States and Territories are SO highly fav'
ored. The Montana Legislature q year
ago passed a law giving a bounty Of one
dollar for cayotte scalps. In less thar
six months the Governor was compelled
to convene the Legislature in extra SEES
sion to repeal the law to prevent the Ter
ritory from being ~bankrupted. There
were more cayottes than money in Mon
tana. In Australia and New Zealand the
English cotton tail destroys annually
fifty million dollars worth Of farm prod
ucts. The grasshopper frequently lays
waste whole counties and States east Of
us. When the hopper fails to appear the
blizzard and early frost are generally
around. Hence we must nee more re
peat, that those who reside in NevadG
have cast their lines in the most desirable
spot on the face Of Gods green earth,
And we must all learn to appreciate Z
good thing when we have it.

Willie Brough, IL years old. who
created an excitement among snpersti.
tious people near Turlock, Cal, by ap-
parently setting fire to all objects by his
glance on Sunday last, and who is held
responsible for the destruction Of 50, 900
worth of farm property, has been expelled
from the Madison county school, near
Turlock, on account Of his wonderful
freaks. Alter Sundays fire Brough's fam.
lily refused to have anything to do with
him, believing him to be possessed Of q
devil. The boy was taken in by q farmer
and sent to school. On the first day
there were FIVE fires in the school-one
in the center Of the ceiling, one in the
teachers desk, one in the teachers ward
robe and two on the wall. The boy dis.
covered all and cried from fright. The
trustees met and expelled him that night.
One Turlock insurance agent has given
notice that he will cancel all policies on
property occupied by the boy. The
neighborhood Of Turlock is in . furore Of
excitement about the mystery.

The Last Attack ON the Dress Goa

blow. The London Telegraph reports
that a ball recently took place in Paris
in the Hotel Continental, under the aus
pices Of the "Paris Tailors and Tailor
e%sses," and describes it thus:
"Most Of the men wore dress coats,
white vests and vanished pumps, but
others aimed at originality, and appeared
arrayed in sky.blue 'claw-hammers,
knee.breeches Of white silk and cerulear
stockings"

Revenue Reduction.

WASHINGTON, March St is stated
that the Internal Revenue reductions
were agreed on yesterday by the Demo.
Gratis Of the Ways and Means Committee
and will be reported to the full commit
tee early next week and considered with
the Tariff bill. They effect atotal reduction
of about $24 0O0, 900 or $25, 900, 900. The
tobacco tax, except on cigars and cigar.
cites, is repealed, reducing the revenue
about $40, 900, 900. Licenses are abol.
ished. and this will make a further re.
duction Of between 81, 900, 900 and S..
600, 600. There is no reduction on spirits
of any kind. Manufacturers OF fruit
brandies are allowed to place their pro.
duct in bonded warehouses and take
warehouse receipts for the same time as
whisky distillers now have. Some ex.
treme penalties have been lessened.

THE WILLS TARIFF BILL..

The bill Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee is at last before the country. To
us it is disappointing in many respects.
II Is not such a revision OF the tariff as
we would propose. Some Of its features
arc we'll enough, but as q whole it will
not strike the country favorably, and we
doubt II il will be acceptable to a ma.
jority OF Democrats. There is too much
cut and not enough raise in it. We had
supposed that for pretty much every cut
on the necesssries OF life there would be
a corresponding raise on the Injuries.
This is no such bill-it is practically all
cut. II deals with less than two hun
dred Of the four thousand articles on the
dutiable list. In but two or three in
stances is any increase Of duty proposed.
1t contemplates a reduction Of the reve-
nue. derived from imposts by about $780,
O00, 900. A reduction OF the amount Of
money flowing into the Government
vaults seems to have been the main thing
had in view, whereas the chief idea
should have been to adjust and equalize
the tariff without regard to results on the
revenue, further than to observe a slight
and conservative diminution in the aggre-
gate Of receipts. The money in hand with
which to redeem that portion Of the Gov
ernment's great debt, to mature in five
years, should never be lost sight Of by
any party or in any attempted revision
of the tariff. As affecting industries local
to Nevada. the Mills bill puts wool and
borax on the free list, and cuts the duty
on lead from forty dollars a ton to twenty
five dollars. We would derive some BEN
eft by getting a good many of our sup
plies cheaper should the bill become a
law. But it is not likely to pass in its
present shape, and should not.

REVIVAL OF THE MANLY ART.

In this world things seem to run in
cycles. After the great international
bout between Heenan and Sayres the
sports of the prize ring practically went
out of sight for twenty years. There
was now and then an unimportant mill
between lightweights, but the public
taste was against the whole business.
Quite recently the pendulum has COM
menced to swing to the other extreme.
We can hardly pick up a leading news
paper these days without finding the full
details Of a mauling according to Queens
bury rules in some quarter of the globe.
The public must "hanker" for such news
or the papers would not devote so much
attention and space to this class Of mat
ter. After all we are not certain that
there is not more good than bad growing
out of the prize ring. 1t marks an era
of muscular development in the young
men of the period. Muscle is better and
more harmless than coffee and pistols
for two" The ancients paid particular
regard to the development of muscle. All
manner Of athletic sports were encour-
aged as contributing to a higher standard
of physical manhood among the people.
There is a good deal in it as a first cause.
E~feminacy in the men OF a Nation is the
sure forerunner of the ultimate decay
and extinction of a people and their in.
situations. To preserve the standard of
civilization, therefore, all physical sports
are good. The great National game of
baseball. which is having such a run Of
late years, is fraught with the most BEN
eficial consequences to posterity. Scull.
ing and rowing are in the same boat.
Prize fighting is more brutal, but it is the
place to develop metal. which is quite as
important as muscle in a people. All
prize fighters are not brutes, albeit a good
many Of them are. As a rule we do not
warm to the slogger. But everybody
must have a sort of secret admiration for
the best man in the world physically,
while, perhaps, entertaining a pronounced
dislike for both his calling and his char
acter. We regard John L. Sullivan as
the best man in the ring to-day in all the
civilized world. And still our aversion
is SC strong to the profession that We
would not take a million dollars to knock
him out in one round, if we could. But
we don't want to see any one else knock
him out while he is beyond the Atlantic.
He is representing America while over
among the Britishers, and we are patri-
otto enough to desire the triumph of
American muscle in every contest involv-
ing skill and endurance. So, we may be
safely counted on as pulling for our own
John L. every time a bloody Briton
| stands before him, if one is ever found
to so ieopardize his nose, which now
seems unlikely. And when he gets
through hopping the English earth, and
returns to his own country, we shall be
glad il some native son shall rise in his
majesty and paste Sullivan SO hard and
| so fast that in three minutes he will not
be able to realize whether he is afoot or
on horseback. Whenever Sullivan is
licked. as we hope he may be one Of these
days, we want to see the job done on
American soil and by an American.
