THE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED.
WHAT ssasGErHUsH- SAYS THEY
HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.

CARSON CITY, New, March 10, 1897.
The Nevada Legislature has ad-
journed; being a subject for future
historians past memory. Like all
legislatures of this, and other States,
it has accomplished some good and
probably other things not so bene-
fetal. The members of the late law
making body we're men of intelligence
in their respective position in life;
sober, Industrious and honest men.
Men who intended to do right, but
not in all cases having the peculiar
faculty to aift the wheat from the
chaff in the many proposed laws
Experience would greatly improve
such representatives.
The Equal Suffrage Amendment to
the Constitution was defeated by a tie
vote in Assembly after passing the
Senate. Some members who did not
approve the measure were willing to
let the people havsa chance to vote
upon the question.
The next issue hal created the
most comment is the "Glovs Contest
law. There are people who think it
q discredit to our State; a move back
wards, while others take the opposite
view.
For the past two weeks fifty or
more newspaper men representing
the leading papers of Boston, Now
York, Chicago, San Francisco and
many other towns of less Importance,
have been in Carson and at the train
ing quarters of Msssrs Corbstt and
Fitzsimmons, the two expectant
Champions of the World. Why all
this interest in the exhibition to be
called off in the Carson Amphitheater
at 1870 A. NJ, next st. Patrick's day!
Why do SO many people want to see
or read about such affairs, and the
actors therein? Is it because of their
love for athletic sports, physical cul-
ture or manly Development II So
good, and the future will devslope
bstter men; a race of Americans who
will refuse to eat or drink that which
does not improved the physical man.

passions are kept within reasonable
bounds, ~ they must be if men wish

A WELL-LAlD SCHEME.
How the Chinese Coach Those
Who Attempt to Get in by
Fraud.

There is letter in possession of the
Federal officials OF this City which shows
how the Chinese OF this City are aiding
and abetting their fellow counrymen
across the water % eyade the exclusion act
and come as native sons.
This letter was intercepted by the Off
Gals of the department and is being held
until the man 10 whom it was sent makes
his appearance and attic mpis 10 land, when
it will be used TO keep him out and 10
prosecute the man who sent 1t.
The letter shows great familiarity with
Custom house methods, and gives a regu-
lar catechism OF questions and answers
which the immigrant Is supposed to learn
by role. The questions are those which
Will be asked the i'm migrant when he ar
rives, and the answers are those which are
to make the officials believe that the trav-
eer is native born.
The place OF birth, with house mum Der
and all other particulars which are to be
known, as well as dates and other matter
connected with the life of the supposed
native son, are given in detail, and it Is
expected that when the newcomer arrives
he will walk right ashore and become
real live citizen, with no one to say him
nay.
The letter shows plainly that there is
regular trade IN importing Chine going
on between this City and China, and il
also shows a wonderful familiarity with
the inner workings of the Custom-house.
1t is ex pected that Collector Jackson will
make use of the letter when the man
arrives to 90 deeply into the workings Of
this importation society, and some rich
Developments may be expected in this
line before long.
