The Tarn.

We want TO awaken the Negro on the
tariff before the unreasonable season OF
campaigning harangues take place, when
heretofore, he has been so unreasonable.
We challenge any man in this state, and
will meet him anywhere in the state,-to
prove wherein the tariff benefits the Negro
in any way.
The Negro does not make phosphate, SUI
gar, coffee, nor does he manufacture the
clothes he wears, nor does he control trusts
etc The fact is simply this, he and the
poor hard working white man consume what
these protected manufacturers and trust
combines, produce, and gather up and sell
at enormous prices.
Now. the worse thing about this matter,
is this the very thing -tarif-that we are
upholding, is the very thing that is helping
to keep Us down. Do you know why and
how I'll tell YOU Because, all branches
ofbusiness enterprises, are protected by rules
which will not allow the Negro TO labor in
them, while at the same time any foreigner
who chooses to apply can, and does find a
welcome. The laboring man who tolls in
factories and manufactures, are and should
be interested in protection, because 1t Is
partly through it, that he gets his dollars.
But while it poorly benefits him, it virtually
robs the poor man who simply buys, Of a
few cents, that otherwise might be saved

Under the new pension bills seven hun
uied and fifty thousand men will be on the
'ension rolls, and this too, a quarter Of a
century after the close Of the war between
the States Why, the Confederate army
didn't have that number of names upon its
rolls. Il would seem that a proper regard
for the federal army reputation for courage
would prevent any further increase in the
pension list, for an army of pensioners lar
ger than The army against which it coutend-
ed, twenty-five years after the close Of the
war, is indicative Of neither the courage nor
fortitude of the men nor the bravery nor the
military genius Of the officers Of the Union

The Pioneer Press, published by an intel
ligeut colored man who is independent
enough to do his own thinking and has the
courage of his convictions, is opposed TO
the passage of the Federal elections bill.
The following extract is from an editorial
in a recent issue of that paper:
''You may institute and pass all the Fed
e1al election bills you choose, but one
thing is plain to us, and that Is, they will
do little il any good at all. The time for
the Republican party 10 have passed and
enforced such measures, was Immediately at
after the war. We opposed TO class legisla-
;ion, because it is an admission of race in
feriOrity and we are but little more favor
able 10 coercive suffrage rights, from the fact
that we are American citizens, living under
the same flag and laws that protect the
white man.

M-vADA'S FISH HATCHERY.

1t now transpires that many o.
the fieh shipped to Elko died on
the passags for want of proper
accommodate ms and the long dis
lance they were transported.
California's hatchery for the
last few years has been turning
out very inferior quality of
trout, and in no way can they
compare with the Nevada produc-
ton
Fish commissSner Mills Las
devoted consi cradle valuaL lie
time to the PROPAGATION and cult
walton of fish in this State and it
seems to us that the Legislature
ought to appropriate more money
TO carry out the enterprise. The
present amount is $1,000 a year for
two years, when it ought to be
double that for the protection of
this beneficial feature connected
with the State.
The hatchery is AT present stu
ated in very inconvenient place,
and during the heated term the |
water is frequently shut off, thus |
making it necessary to connect
with the railroad water to keep
the spawn alive. Should at any
time a mistake occur and the
hatchery not be supplied, the de-
struction would amount to some
100000 fish in the spawn.
What the Commissioner needs
is an ample appropriation, suffi-
clent to meet all demands and
place the hatchery in a locality
where no fear of drouth would him
der the Matching process, and at
the same time bring it nearer the
the principal bodies Of water that
are at present only partially
stocked.
We're California capable of pro-
ducing such fish as Nevada does
the Legislature of that Statel
would readily appropriate enough 7
money to put the Fish Commiss-
Toner on a sound financial foot m
ing.
There will be plenty of water in
MS State the next two years, and
"nat we want now is money to
stock it with fish; the best in the
world.
