THE SAGE FARMEys-,

A few years ago Cape Cod farmer
uttered sage remark. He said: "This
9arnin ey'ry girl to play on the pianner
and ev'ry boy to be n bookkeeper will
make pertaters IS bushel afore many
years."
Is this thoughtful farmers prediction
coming true' And is the reason he
gave the real reason why we do not raise
potatoes enough for our own peoplel

THE bill of Senator Mitchell, of Ore
gon, which is now before Congress in re.
gard to prohibiting Chinese from coming to
this country has the true ring about it. 1t
reads as follows:
A bill ADVOCATING all treaties heretofore
made and now in operation between the
United States Government and the Chinese
Empire in so far as they or any of them pro
vide for, recognize or permit the coming o.
Chinese to the United States; lnmhe III
United States from absolutely prohibiting
the coming of Chinese to the United States,
and repeating all acts of Congress, in so fal
as they or any of them regulate or prevent
the coming of Chinese to the United STATES
and prohibit absolutely the coming Of tn.
Chinese to the United States, excepting only
diplomatic, consular and other officers, anc
prohibiting the landing of any Chinese
therein, excepting such diplomatic and othe
officers.

COUNTY FINANCES.

The time is drawing near when the County
Commissioners will be called upon to make
the tax levy for the present year, and in Or
der to arrive at an estimate of the amount
required it is necessary to compare the ex-
penses Of the previous year with the proba-
BILE expenses of the present. The levy of
$500 on the hundred of last year weuld
have been sufficient to carry on the County
Government and accumulate small surplus
had it not been for two causes. First: Elk
pensive legislation bequeathed to the present
Board OF Commissioners by their predces-
sors, and, second: An unfortunate mistake
made IN attempting to establish public
road in Mason Valley. BY the first cause
the County was made to disgorge about ST.
cause the extra costs entailed, will not fall
much short OF $1,000. Add to these sums
the extra expense which accompanies the
biennial elections, amounting to from ST.,
200 to ST, 800, and an increase in the expen-
ses of the Sheriff's Office of $3.50. AS an off
set we have saving of $575 in interest on
comfy bonds; also the saving Of about ST..
600 judgements against the county already
paid, and probably 5000 in expense of ju-
ries. And under the present judcious man
agement of the Board it is safe to say that
the care of the county's poor will be reduced
$500. The bridge being constructed in Ma
son Valley will cost the county S2,2o and
there is also in contemplation the establish
ment Of another road and bridge in Smiths
Valley at cost, at present, unknown. In
ord er 10 meet these expenses and to provide
for others, at present unseen, will require an
addition to our taxes Of at least ten cents on
each 500, and even then it will be well for
our County Assessor to begin at as early a
date as possible to gather in poll taxes and
taxes on trancient personal property.

ABOUT CHAMBERS.

Some weeks ago the TINES made mention
that there were several cases of CHAMBERS re.
ported in Mason Valley. Our informant was
good authority, and it was not the intention
that the item should prevent any rancher in
the Valley from selling any stock, not infect
ed with this disease, or prevent them from
receiving stock to feed. We believed that
it should be known, if the disease really ex-
listed, SO that the horses infected might be
killed, and thus prevent spread of the
malady. However valuable the animal or
animals are that have this disease, it would
pay to kill them instead of having the dis
ease spread to all the ranches in the Valley,
as it doubtless will if not checked. There
was do malice intended in the item, as ap-
parently some have an idea. The fact was
merely mentioned to warn those whose ami
mails were healthy that the disease was there
and to look out for it. How near right we
were in the statement will be seen by read
ing the communication from a veterinary
surgeon on our local page.

The Reno rape case has had a peculiar
ending. The jury in the case failed to agree,
and for fear of putting the county to an ad-
ditional expense the officers took the negro
Henderson to Verdi in a carriage, put him
on board the cars and sent him westward.
Thus the officers have virtually aided Hen.
derson in making his escape from any kind
of punishment for his crime. 1t is stated
that there were scarcely any ground for a
case in the first place; that Henderson had
supported the Jose girl and her mother for
some time past, and that there was not much
force used in the assault on the girl. This
makes no difference if the child is under the
age of consent, and we believe that the man
should have been punished. 1t is not the
right thing TO do to let negro debauch a
I5.year-old girl simply because he has be-
friended her and her mother, and we are Of
the same opinion as the Gazette when it
stated that the proceedings in the case ap-
parently had not been conducted 'accsrd-
ing to Hoyle."

A sevcnteen-year-old girl was married
to sixty five. year old boy Of money in Bal
timore the other day. 1t is as certain as
anything in the world that this young wo-
mans heart did not go with her hand. A
hundred thousand dollars was the bride that
was given to win her unwilling consent. A
father who would consent to the marriage Of
his child in such fashion as this ought to be
jailed for the rest of his life, and then dealt
harshly with afterwards.-AbPeHk.
