SENATOR Quay presented several

SENATOR Quay presented several
amendments to the tariff bill yester.
day. One proposes to strike out the
duty on tea and substitute duty Of
10 per cent advalorem on all articles
proposed by the bill to be placed ON
the free list. these duties to con-
tinue until July I, 1871, after which
the articles shall be exempt from
duty. Another amendment proposes
proviso to the paragraph fixing the
duty on iron ore, so all iron ore from
foreign mines owned by American
citizens and imported for our own
use and not for sale, shall be exempt
from duty. 10 man up tree it is
amusing to witness the maneuvers of
the repu blican leaders in their at
tempt to preserve the ides Of protec-
tion, and yet their unavoidable incli-
nation toward the natural tendency
reduced taxation. But how quick
. big tariff would be slapped on tea
the moment 1t 10 discovered that
there Is tea trust in this country.

THE Wadsworth Dispatch says:
"The stingy, unpatriotic citizen who
will dodge paying his poll tax for a
lousy SO is not worthy of the right
of suffrage" Hold on, Mr.. Dis
patch mani Don't you know that
there are hundreds of men in the
State of Nevada to-day who can
not pay their poll tax, no matter
how patriotic they are? 1t you do
not know this you should look
about Virginia City, Carson and
Reno, where you will find that
men with families are living upon
the charity of friends, and that SO
would seem a larger sum to them
could they get it, than, perhaps,
$500 would seem to you. There
are families who live on SO week
in Nevada, and there are men in
our almshouses who never see So
from one years end to another
Must they be disfranchised because
of their inability to earn a living?
And must the man who gets hold
of SO occasionally pay it out for
the privilege of voting while his
children go hungry? Must he be
dubbed an unpatriotic coward who
prefers to buy food for a hungry
family than a chance to vote?
Then there are single men who, if
they possess 80, will in these times
of uncertainty of work, hesitate a
long time about spending it for
poll tax when he considers how
many meals it will buy. The law
may be good one for the man in
easy circumstances, but it is anoth-
er instance of where the man of
means always has the best of the
laborer. 1t must be recollected that
the law makes 10 provision where
by labor may be performed for the
State in payment of poll tax, as it
does in nearly every other State in
the Union.

Last Sunday there was quite a
lively Indian row in Sutro. 1t oc-
Cured between a number of Piutes
who had been camping near Sutro
for some time and a crowd of In
dams from Dayton. 1t was occa-
stoned by the actions of one of the
Sutro squaws since the death of her
husband short time ago, the Day
ton Indians thinking she was not
showing proper respect for her de-
ceased husband. The bucks and
squaws all fought like tigers, the
squaws covering their faces with
their hair and scratching and claw
ing like wild cats. The fight lasted
about half an hour, when the par
Elephants stopped to parley. They
wanted old Sutro Jim to sit on a
fire, but he wouldn't do it, and the
fight was finally declared a draw.
No one received any serious in
juries, but there were many sore
heads, barked shins and bruised
bodies in the crowd.

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miser-
able condition. 1t was undoubted-
ly bad case of la grippe and rec
ognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a
speedy cure. From the advertise
ment of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and the many good recommend
ations included therein, we con-
cluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To gay that it was salts
factory in its results, is putting it
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was a speedy
and permanent cure. We have no
hesitancy in recommending this ex-
cellent Cough Remedy to anyone

The papers are again after the
Superintendent of the Insane Asy-
lum. Some very grave charges are
being made about the manner of
conducting things in that institu
ton, and a great many people are
beginning to think that where there
is so much smoke there must be a
little fire. The Board of Directors
should make inquiries and know to
a certainty if the charges made are
true or not. Politics should cut no
figure in the matter.

The Odd Fellows Dance.

The dance last evening was well
attended by Dayton people and a
few were present from Silver City
The stormy weather prevented those
being presented who intended to
come from Virginia and Carson.
However, jolly time was had.
The music was good, and an excel
lent supper was served at the Union
Hotel. The Lodge came out ahead
financially, but just how much
cannot be told until the returns are
in from the sale of tickets.

a Good Place to Hunt.

The story is told of a Boise min
lister, and we wouldn't like to tell
which one of them, that a member
of his congregation, by name of
Miss Helen Hunt, picked up a
small bible lying in the aisle of the
church, one Sunday morning as
she was hurrying out from service.
As there was nothing in the book
to indicate to whom it belonged she
spoke to the pastor and suggested
that he announce the fact of her
find on the following Sunday. He
did it in this way: The person who
dropped small Bible in flexible
cover, in the main aisle at last Sun
days service can go to Helen Hunt
for it. Then he wondered why
everybody smiled Emmett mder.
