the gentleman to the skies for the brave stand
he has taken on the Fisheries question. They
they do not stop to think what his stand has
heretofore been in regard to this question,
although they still claim that Mr.. Harrison
must be judged by his past record on all
questions. We do not say that the President
is wrong in what he says shall be done, but
why has he been so dilatory in the matter?
May not Mr.. Cleveland be trying to draw the
attention Of the people from the tariff ques.

Congress will take much notice Of Mr.. Cleve-

HARRISON AND THE CHINESE.

The interest of this coast in what may
have been General Harrison's position upon
the Chinese question fifteen, ten or five years
ago, is not keen. Indeed outside of the
Democratic press it does not exist. What
the people are interested in knowing, how.
ever, is the present position of the two nom
inees upon this subject. General Harrison S
as usual, is simple enough. He is frank and
explicit. With better understanding Of the
question he has changed his first views, as
have many conscientious Eastern men of both
parties, and now hold with the best sentiment
of this Coast for absolute exclusion. Mr..
Cleveland'S sentiments in the past on any
subject nobody knows And as far as is pos.
sible he is equally elusive, and evasive now.
But if he has restrained from making any
declaration of principles, it has not been al
together to escape the logic of facts. Those
facts are, that when he took Office there was
in force very excellent restriction laws, not
good, had they been properly enforced. His
administration has seen them knocked so full
of holes that they look like callenders with
out making one effort to check the abuse.
His administration for three years has done
nothing and finally when spurred by the ap-
preaching election to OTTER some show Of
sympathy with the Coast, so profound was
his ignorance Of the subject, that the attempt
brought it nothing but ridicule. What has
the Coast to look for from the Democratic
President?-RenoG Gazette.

TRE WATER QUESTION.

Never in the history Of Nevada has Their
been such dry season as the present one
Water is short in every river in the State
and in many of the vallies stockmen have Il
sink wells TO procure water enough for stock
The water question, is, therefore, becoming
one of importance, and any method suggest
ed by which mere water can be obtained is
eagerly read by every rancher in the State.
Senator Stewart has an appropriation bill un
der way to survey and find the best place;
in the country between the Rockies and the
Sierras for storing water, and many indlvid-
uals are going to work privately on the arte
sian plan. AS before stated in this paper we
believe there are many places in the rivers
of the State where reservoirs could be built
at a moderate expense, that would save the
water that goes to waste and make many more
valuable ranches in the tate. There is
question whether the State or Government
should be the proper ones to take hold OF the
enterprise, but it would be good idea for
both to do something towards the work.
There are rivers that run through the State
that head outside of the State, but there
could be no objection made by any outsiders
to what work in the way Of reservoir build
ing should be done in this State. We be.
leve that it is the duty Of the State to look
after the water question so far as she has
power, and have in our mind one or two

places is on the Carson river and another is
near the head Of the West Walker rver. In
the latter there is splendid reservoir site in
the canyon above where the river enters
Smiths Valley. Enough could be stored by
building reservoir at this point to give all
the ranchers in the Valley water the year
around and also irrigate eight or ten good
sized new ranches. The land is there and all
that is now required to make more prosperous
homes is water. The same may be said in
in regard to storage of water on the Carson

to appropriating money for the benefit of one
section Of country, but we hold that appro.
priations are made for the benefit of the most
number of people. If it can be shown that
an appropriation could be used to greater
benefit on other rivers than the ones named
the work should be done there. We believe
that it is only matter of time when all our
rivers will be damed to keep the waste
water that now runs off every Fall and Spring,
and if one appropriation can be made for this
purpose, and it is shown that it will be a ben.
eft and source of revenue to the State in that
it will so greatly increase the taxable proper
ty, other appropriations will certainly be
made for such work, and it will not be long
before the people of the State will all be in
a prosperous condition and not growl about
the taxes being high and their being robbed

Editor White of Naugatuck Threatened
 With Arrest for Slander.
 Last evening various rumors were in circulation in the quiet town of Nauga- tuck that David w. White, editor of the the Agitator, was to be arrested for libel ing c. Collard Adams, editor of the Review, in publishing an article some two weeks ago claiming that MT Adams was drunk. MT Adams refusel to state whether any action had been taken by him against White. He said, however, that MT White had done him an injustice in publishing the statement that he was drunk on the streets. MT White said that he had heard that he was to be arrested and was told by one of the leading lawyers of the town that papers were being prepared and he might expect some trouble. Editor Peck, of the Enterprise, who is accused of giving the story away about Adams being drunk, smiled when the reporter asked him if he knew anything about the proceedings against White. He said he had only heard the rumor and did not take much stock in the talk that Adams would make a com plaint. He did not think that Adams would have calibre enough to bring the matter into the courts. The residents of Naugatuck are anticipating lively sensa- ton.

A Stone Throwing Young Man and a
 Wicked Girl Found Guilty.
 In the police court this morning young man named John Delaney, was charged with breach of the peace in stoning crowd of children on Brook street last night. It seemed to be a rather mixed up case but it was shown that John was accustomed to hang around the street in dark corners, evenings and Judge Cowell thought he was there for no good purpose. He admitted having thrown the stone into the crowd of little girls and was fined S1 and costs.
 Mary Tracy, a rather pretty girl of Is years was charged with being a common prostitute. The police testified that she had for some time been sleeping in the barns around the lower parts of Brooklyn Mary had been arrested before for the offence and was sent to the town house fol 30 days.
 The case against Joseph Beauleau charged with stealing watch and pocket book was laid over to Tuesday, and the prisoner placed under $500 bonds, as the offence is states prison one.

FOUR TRAINS EACH WAY.
The Time Table to be Used on the Ne
 ROal.


 Road.
 The time table for running trains on the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecticut River railroad, which will probably go into effect on Monday or Tuesday, has been arranged by Superintendent Charles NJ. Crawford, and is remarkably convenient. If any changes are found desirable they may be made at any time.
 As the table now stands passenger trains leave Cromwell at 6:30 and 1O:5O a. m. and 4:5O P. m.; leave Meriden (West Main street. at 7:15 and 11:25 d. m., and 5:3O p. m., arriving in Waterbury at SOC a. m., and 1916 and 6:21 D. m
 Returning passenger trains leave Wa ing in Meriden West Main street, at 9:41 a. m. 3:51 and 7:31 P. m. and at Cromwell at 1O:11 a. m. 4:21 and S:01 p. m.
 The freight train leaves Cromwell at 5:1 , a. m. Meriden West Main street) at $50, arriving in Waterbury at a. m. Return ing, 1t will leave Waterbury at 4:30 D. m. arriving in Meriden West Main street) at 5:3O, and at Cromwell at 6:10 p. m.
 The road lacks tenth of mile of be- ing 2S miles ill length, the West Main street station is 12.5 miles from Cromwell and 15.4 miles from Dublin street, Waterbury. The shortest running time for the 2S miles is one hour and 26 minutes, which, con- sidering the heavy 12O grades which have to be overcome, is very good. Meriden is 50 minutes away from Waterbury.
 The flag stations between Meriden and Waterbury are five in number, Hough's Mills, West Cheshire, Prospect, Summit and East Farms.
 The connections are: At Waterbury with the New England, and Naugatuck di- vision of the Consolidated; at Meriden with tho Consolidated main line; at Vest field with the Middletown branch of the Consolidated, and at Cromwell with the Valley division of the Consolidated, the Gildersleeve ferry, and the Hartford boat for Connecticut river landings and New York. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur- days the steamer Sunshine will connect to take parties to Mantle, New London, Greenport and Sag Harbor, returning on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays

BIG OPIUM SYNDICATE.
Immense Profits Made Smuggling the
Drug into the United States.

An interesting story from Sarnia, Ont, is
printed in the Chicago papers of the opera
tons Of the opium smuggling gang, one of
whose alleged leaders, Capt Durant, so
narrowly escaped from the customs officers
at Sand Beach, Mich, week ago. The
correspondent had long talk with Durant
and his lieutenant, Charles Weitzei, at Sar-
MIA. IL is charged that they have been
smuggling opium for the last two years and
have successfully landed hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars worth OF the costly drug
on the other side without being detect
ed. But the last consignment was seized
by government detectives. Four detectives
waylaid him in the woods at night, took
him at great disadvantage and, Durant
says, tried their best TO end his life by
standing ten feet away and firing 20 shots
at him in rapid succession. But Capt Dur
ant made his escape without injury.
Durant says that If he had ever had any
thing TO do with transporting large quaint
ties OF the drug in packages across the
border il was his own business. One
thing he was sure of and that was that he
could openly defy the government officers
to prove him guilty. But everyone around
Sarnia believes Durant To be one Of the
trusted agents OF a rich syndicate that was
organized several years ago for the express
purpose of smuggling opium into the
United States from the manufactures OF
Victoria, Ii. G.. The syndicate has s. co.,
&. j. Joslyn of Victoria.
Joslyn among the smugglers is known as
BOSS" Harris. He is immensely rich. As
an illustration of the big money to be made
out Of the business, he said he brought
down "A consignment OF opium from Vic
toria 20 Sarnia and employed two men TO
carry il across the river 20 Port Huron,
whence it was shipped TO California. The
men carried the drug which was packed in
tin cans in their coat pockets and rode
across the river again and again on the
regular passenger ferryboats Within four
weeks from the time the drug left Victoria
by this circuitous route IL was delivered in
San Francisco. The United States govern
ment was defrauded out OF over 500, 900
duties and Boss" Harris pocketed So 900
for his share of the profits. Outside of a
money risk he takes no chances. He knows
that big price has been put on his head
Chief among the agents OF the syndicate
are said to be Capt Durant and the WeNZel
brothers, Charles and George. Both of the
Wetzel boys are now in Sarnia and togeth-
er with Capt. Durant. are awaiting instruc-
tions from Boss Harris, who has been
informed by telegraph of the seizure of his
goods last week
The value OF the combined product Of the
factories in British Columbia-thc head
quarters of the Harris gang-is estimated
at $1,000 900 per aunum, and Of this more
than 90 per cent gees to the United States.
1t is believed that 10 per cent of il passes
through the custom houses. The gang ope-
rates not only in Sarnia, but all along the
northern border OF the United States as
