THE RENO TRACK.

The racing week just closed at Reno
was the most d~isgraceful in the way
of horse jobbery that was ever seen In
this State. Hardly a race was run
where the best horses were not pulled
and the iockies that would not enter
into the schemes of the jobbers aud do
business" were hustled up against the
rail and their horses pocketed by the
other riders. For this sort Of foul rid
ing there was no redress and com
plants lodged in the judges stand re-
suited in nothing.
In one instance a jockey who was on
q fast horse with instructions to pull
the horse, was unable to do so as he
lacked the strength. The owners Of the
horse took him behind a shed after
the result was announced ana whipped
him good for winning the race.
This sort of business went on al
through the week, and the public stood
it without a protest. They have become
80 accustomed to this sort OF work il
Reno that no one expects anything
else. The Judges at the Carson track
will see to it that the public are pro
tected as far as lies in their power thi
week.

FREE TRADE

Before the Wilson effort at free
trade was made he had less of a sur
plus to send TO the much lauded mar
kets of the world because the 25,sOo,..
coo of wage workers IN the United
States were literally paid and were
liberal buyers.-Stockton lndepend emit
The above is disproved by the fact
that the total value Of our exports Of
hreaastuffs for 1895 WAS about two
thirds Of rhe average for the four pre-
vious year,, being ~$1146o4,780. as
against $166,7 IN, 229 for 1894, 5000, 3l2,-
e54 for 1898, 8299.363,117 for 1892 and
&l28, 12f,656 for 1891.
The large surplus for export does
not seem to exist save in the imaginatie
Of the Independent. The Wilson
Bill gave the Government eighty.
eight millions more titan the Mehin-
lev Bill in revenue.
