LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

HUMAN GOES ON "FooT" BUT GETS THERE
 FOUR DAYS AHEAD OF 1" DAY." Editor of Ne,os:
 The boys want to know what that puff cost me. Never mind, I'll send you basket of my fruit some day. I see THE NEWS states that "Mr Foote's tomatoes are farther advanced than Mir Days" I picked the first ripe ones on the 18th of July and some on the 17th. We and Rev Phillips rather doubt the statement until we know what date MT Foote picked his first tomatoes On the same date I dug three potatoes on one root that weighed 2f lbs. If you doubt it have them and can send them to you. I put new potatoes on the market July 9th, and they were very fine. This verifes your statement, "the best you had seen."
 Yours Truly, CHAs. DAY.
 Lakeville, Conn.,, July 21, 1890.
 MT Foote says he picked several ripe tomatoes July 18th, but presumes that MT Day could have picked an equal quantity on the same date.-ED. NEWS.

Condensed Report of Proceedings In the

Condensed Report of Proceedings In the
 Senate and House.
 WASHINGTON, July 21.-In the senate the tariff bill was taken up and MT. Voorhees, spoke. MT. Voorhees, said it was an as- tonishing fact that in the fourteen sched- ules of dutiable articles the only reduc- tions made were in the schedule relating to sugar and molasses (which, in the light of the proposed bounty to sugar planters, was no reduction at alD and in the section relating to wines, spirits and other bever- ages In every one of the twelve schedules the tariff taxes had been increased. In regard to woolen goods that increase amounted to $15, ,OOO, ,OOO a year.
 It was simply an instance of protection run mad and developed into a Chinese wall of prohibition. He proceeded to quote at considerable lengh from statement by MT. M:Keever, of New York, before the finance committee. One of his answers to 8 question by MT. Vance as to why the duty on certain cheap fabrics of cloth was to be increased from about 75 per cent. to about l6O per cent. was, sI suppose 1t was to make the poor consumer pay twice as much for his goods as the wealthy consumer would have to pay for his."
 MT. Voorhees, spoke of the magnificent diamond presented by Andrew Carnegie to
 
 States, he said, had paid for that diamond 10000 times over in the last twenty years by paying an average duty of over 38 per cent. on every article of iron and steel that they used and by paying increased rates of railroad freight made necessary by the high duties on steel and iron rails and roll ing stock. For the farmer, at last, paid for all If the pending bill became law they would have an increase of duty to pay on iron and steel from 39A per cent. to 51. 75 per cent.
 With sugar on the free list, MT. Voor- hees said, an annual revenue of $56, ,OOO, 900 was abolished, but other schedules increas- cd duties to the amount of $65, ,O0O, 900. But if the bounty of two cents 8 pound on the sugar produced in the United States should eesult (as it's friends urged it would) in the production of all the sugar consumed here, then, according to the last statistics, the American people would find themSslve1 paying n annual gnsex tAx q eo1se 0oo

In few minutes a pistol shot was heard. The officer rushed into the room and found that his prisoner had shot himself in the head, inficting a slight wound.

Consolidation OF Counties.

The proposed new Constitution pro
poses to reduce, by consolidation, the
fourteen counties of the State to
eight, to-wit: Elko, Esmeralda, Eu
reka, Humboldt, Lincoln, Ormsby,
Storey and Washoe. BY this arrange
ment Lander, Churchill, Nye, White
Pine, Lyon and Douglas counties
would be obliterated as separate coun-
ties, being consolidated with Esme-
ralda, Eureka, Elko, Humboldt, Lin
coin, Storey, Ormsby and Washoe
counties. The boundaries of the
eight counties are given 50 as to in
clude the several counties which it is
proposed to abolish. The new Con-
stitution also provides that in the dis
memberment and consolidation of
counties it is expressly ordained that
all Of the Indebtedness, both bonded
and otherwise, Of the various coun-
ties disorganized is hereby preserved,
and shall continue valid and bind
ing obligation upon all the taxable
property in the territory thus dis
membered, and with equal force and
effect as though no such change had
been made.
1t is probable that the residents of
the counties which it is proposed to
wipe out by consolidation will not
give unanimous consent to the propo-
sition.

The Platform.

In reviewing the platform adopted

Fost says:
In the first plank 10 q review Of the
party's achievements, and q perusal
OF it carries one back into the shad-
ows OF q tragic past whore the dull
roar OF treason's guns is heard, az
they belch forth their deadly contents
on the American flag that flies above
Fort Sumter, on through the ensuing
years Of doubt and strife and car
mage.
This review of the "tragic past" has
been the principal stock in trade of
the Republican party for the past
twenty-five years, aud is likely to be
utilized long after the participants in
the bloody struggle have passed to
