said A. E. Ross, of Long Valley, in
the Lassen Mail Office recently:
"and Mr.. Bliss said that as soon
as the Nevada and California tapped
Northern California, q connection
with the road would be made by
laying q line of narrow guage track
from Reno to the Mound House,
and that the Carson and Colorado
would be then pushed from its
present terminus to Los Angeles
through this connection with the

confident this will be built some

for the people Of our section. It

The Russian-American League
is out in a heavy pamphlet against
the extradition of Anarchists and
bomb-throwers. There is no room
in the country for league OF that
kind, but if its members prefer to
be hung in this country rather than
in Russia it is after all a tribute to
free institutions. We have no
doubt that the United States would
have demanded the extradition OF
Guiteau or Wilkes Booth, regard
less Of the plea that either had
murdered for politics instead of for
robbery or revenge. We see no
reason why a man who sneaks be-
hind the carriage of Gar and
blows him into kingdom come with
4 bomb should not be sent back to
Russia to be hung Just the same as
if he had murdered boyar to pick
his pocket. Ii a people revolution
izs, set up a government and over
come the old one in battle and kill
. king, as England did to Charles
l, and France to Louis XVI, that
is an other matter. But assassina-
ton is still assassination, whether
the victim be Prince or President,
and the assassin should suffer the
penalty, and civilization should
hunt HIM and deliver him up to
punishment.

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.

The manner OF regulating the al
mission of immigrants is surround
ed with many difficulties which will
require an elaborate scheme to
overcome. Senator Stanford's bill
il addressed more to the question OF
citizenship than to immigration,
and not be considered here. The
measures OF Senator Farwell and
Reagan are directed to the same
object, but would make use OF diff
ferent means. Mr.. Farwell would
impose the duty of determining the
character Of the immigrant on our
consuls in foreign ports, while Mr..
Reagan would place it on the own
ers and masters Of vessels and on
agents stationed at the point Of ar
rival. It is probable that a COM
bination of the methods of both
bills would accomplish the best
results. In any event, there should
be officers at both ends of the route.
Both agree as to the classes that
shall be kept out. Anarchists,
lunatics, dependents, persons under
contract to labor, those who are
assisted no matter by whom, GRIM
inals, except such as may be ac-
cused of political offenses, and
generally those who are incapable
OF earning q living, are 70 be for
hidden landing.
We have not seen the text OF the
measures, as q matter OF course,
but from such reports of them as
appear in press dispatches there
seems to be an important omission.
No provision is made for deporting
and criminals who get
into the country through fraud or
and this is matter OF
Deroius consequence. From the
OF national duty We
are under no obligations to provide
for or protect the paupers or GRIM
inals of any other country who may
End Judgment on our shores. 1t
would be cheaper to return the de-
pendents that to keep them, and
they would not be likely to come a
second time. And as to criminals
Of the Johann Most type, it would
be well enough to give them notice
that if they set foot in the country
. second time, they would go to
prison at hard labor for life.

pulpit. Was he thinking how often he had
stood solemnly thus while the minister was
prayingi Perhaps so, for after a moment
his lips parted, and tremulous "Amen'
uttered softly on high note, sung to the
evergreens and the shadows.
Then Hezekiah looked about the bench in
front of him He picked up one of the new
anthem books brought in by the quartet He
| glanced at the cover and let it fall. Taking
| the lamp from its socket he held it so that he
could see, and presently drew forth the an
| Gent collection of anthems, every tune in
which he knew by heart, SO sacred to him.
and yet SO speedily hidden away where it
should serve nobody He replaced the lamp
and turned the pages to Coronation" the
| first piece sung by a choir under his direc-
| ton more than lifetime ago. Fondly he
| looked at the familiar notes and then, his
| chest thrown out and his head held no, he
sung the grand old tune and its magnificent
words with all the fervor and all the power
that bis voice ever had commanded. From
beginning to end the hymn rang through the
deserted gloomy church, and DR.. Williams,
driving by in haste to attend the ills of q far
off patient, wondered that the rehearsal
should have been continued so late. When
the last note had ceased Hezekiah stood with
the book still open and his head still up, but
the tears were coursing down his face in
steady streams
At last be sank into chair, and with a
great pang at the heart he saw upon the
bench beside the volume of newfangled tunes
little book Of manuscript music. When he
was young man of not more than so Heze-
kiah had taken it into bis head that he would
write music, and the Sc 1ral anthems that he
had composed in pure harmony, but with
crude progressions, had been laboriously
copied into books, and had been used oc-
casional1y ever since in church service
What had they been doing with his musica
Was it not enough that they should discard
him in his old age, and his ways and his
books, without hunting up his feeble but
earnest compositions to laugh at thens That

fingers he turned the leaves His inspection
stopped at an anthem for Christmas, CON-
posed On words taken literally from the
Scriptures. There it was, with its introduc-
tory recitative for bass, and a double fugue,
as he called it, when the angels chorus was
reached. His wife had sung the treble be-
fore she left the choir, and when with patient
resignation he had laid her in the grave his
daughter had performed her part, and since
she married and moved away the anthem
had not been sung With what grand emo
