THE SILVER BILL.

On Wednesday the Senate Commit
tee on Finance considered the House
silver bill and made the following
amendments:
The provision making the certifi-
Gates issued in payment for bullion
loyal tender for public and private
debts was struck out, leaving them
receivable for Customs taxes and pub
lie dues. The customs redemption
clause was stricken out; also, the
section providing for the free coinage
of silver whenever the market price
is 81 for Btu grains of pure silver.
The act is made to take effect in
thirty days after it's passage, and
shall terminate at the expiration of
ten years thereafter. This action of
the committee was not unanimous,
but the minority will make no report,
rcserving the right to offer amend
ments on the floor of the Senate. The
striking out of the bullion redemp-
ton clause was practically unani-
nous.

Hardly Probable.

Judge Bigelow went to Carson yes
:erddy on the local train. We under
stand that the Judge favors the COM
mutation Of the sentence OF the Pottses
upon tho groun.l of the possible
doubt OF their guilt, and that he will
express himself to that effect to the
members of the Board of Pardons.-
Jourhal.
The above must be mistake, for
The JuCge is not given to Sinking
'sponsiUility.-[Reno Gazette.
From the above one would infer
that tho Gazette is of the opinion that
The Judge who sentences a criminal
to death must BIO thoroughly con-
WINGED of his guilt. For the infor-
nation Of that paper we desire to say
that when d jury returns verdict Of
murder in the first degree the Judge
to whom the verdict is su omitted has
no discretion in the matter. It is his
duty, in accordance with his oath of
"i!ice and the laws of Nevada, to pro-
uounce the penalty, which is death
hy hanging. The private opinion of
the Judge cuts no figure in the case;
lac may have grave doubts as to the
guilt OF the defendant, yet in accord
hnce with law the verdict of murder
in the first degree gives him no alter
native than to pronounce the sem
t"nce. There was no "shirking re-
sponsibility" when Judge Bigelow APP

A Pretty Theory Dissipa ted,

One often reads pathetic stories Of pet
birds that die simultaneously with, or
shortly after, their child owners. 1t
sounds pretty, but the simple prose of
the matter often is that tho owners i'm
fcctcd tho birds. Canarios and other
songstCrs will catch scarlet fovor,
measles, diphtheria or almost any other
human disease, and If loft in the sick
room they arc almost sure to be infected.
Pct cats and small dogs, too, arc often
sacrificed in tho samo way, and in their
cases thoro is also tho risk that they
will go out and become the unwilling in
strurnents of disseminating disease.
-Merino underwear should be watched
carefully, for when tho stitches com.
mence to break, unless mended ut onco,
large holes will appear before long, and
then 1T will soon go. Pieces OF old un.
dorwear should be used for mcndina,
and 10y placing 1t under tho thin place
or hole it can be darncd down nicely. --

THE SALT WATER TRIBUNE.

The Inman line of steamers is in large
part owned by Americans and is sailed
under the British flag simply because our
laws do not permit our citizens to hoist
their flag on their own property. 1t claims
no subsidy whatever from the British
government. The ships are not exempt
from port charges" and they pay the same
tax on their property that all British yes
sells pay. Two of their ships, the City OF
Paris and the City OF New York, were built
in such manner that they can be used as
men-ofwar. This involved large extra
expense and threw out a great deal of cargo
room, and they receive from the admiralty
sum of money commensurate with the ex-
ira cost and Inconvenience. There are sew
eral other British steamships that are SINH
larly paid by the admiralty, thirteen of
them all, and the bargain is quite as advan-
tageous for the admiralty as for the ship
owners
The Inman ships are not the only ones
owned by Americans. Our countrymen
own many independent tramp steamships
and great many more sailing ships under
that flag, and no one will pretend that they
are subsidized. There are actually more
American captains in foreign trade
sailing under foreign flags than under
their own. They would, Of course,
much prefer to sail under their own But
the policy of protecting American ship
builders in their monopoly, has made this
action a necessity for our shipowners an6
shil masters. They can buy an Englist
ship Tor 81 per cent, less than the Ameri-
can shipbuilder will furnish them. a steam
ship costing S650, 900 ia this country can bt
bought fer $500, 900 in England 1t is Gus
tonary to calculate interest and ipsuranc,
at ID per cent, wear and tear at per cent.
20 per cent. In all. 1t is easy to SEQ tina
this makes an annual difference of $50, CO.
upon the extra $3.50, in sailing such E;
ship. Therefore the reason is apparen
why Americans own SO many vessels I'm
der foreign flags.
