r. r. DISCRIMINATION.

sWhen the Interstate Commerce
law went into effect there was great
rejoicing in Nevada because it was
supposed that by it's operations Ne
vada shippers would no longer be
compelled to pay more for freight
hauled from the East than the San
Francisco merchant.
@The Law has been in operation
several years and it has given Nevada
merchants no relief. They have been
compelled to pay such high freight
rates that they cannot compete with
tide water merchants, and large sums
of money which would otherwise be
spent IN this State go to San Francis
CO for goods because they can be pur-
chased cheaper there than here, al
though the goods purchased in San
Francisco are nearly all hauled
through Nevada on their way from
the wholesale houses where they are
originally purchased.
"The freight charges on goods laid
down in Nevada are in some instances
more than three times as much as the
freight ON the same goods laid down
in San Francisco.
@The Gulf and Interstate Transpor-
tation Committee, which consists Of
commissioners appointed by the
Governors Of the several States, pro-
poses holding a meeting in the near
future to take action on these dis
examinations. One of the objects of
the meeting is to awaken the public
to sense of the injustice of this dis
elimination 80 that Congress may be
called upon to prevent it by law.
This State is entitled to seven repre-
sentatives at the meeting and If the
several towns along the railroad and
Of the agricultural valleys will select
one or more from each locality the
Governor will upon being notified of
their choice, commission them to at
tend the meeting and represent the
State.-Appeal.
The INDEPENDENT could never see
any justice in the system that COM
pels the people Of Nevada to pay
through freight to Sacramento and
local rates back on all freight shipped
from the East. 1t may je that there
is justice in it but it is difficult mat.
ter for an ordinary citizen not versed
in the intricacies Of freight schedules
long and short hauls, etc, etc, to see
it in that light. 1t may seem all
right to those who make the freight
schedules, but to those who have
to pay the piper it not only seems all
wrong but it is all wrong.
This is matter that effects the
people of Nevada greatly and they
should be represented at the meeting
Of this COMMITTEES. Meetings should
be held and men selected who will at
tend this meeting and make the wants
Of Nevada known to the Committee
and to Congress.
The present condition of affairs is
an outrage upon the people or this
State that ought to be righted by
tho railroad authorities as a matter
of simple justice. Our representa-
tions thue far on this matter have
been in vain and no other course
seems to be open except through
legislation by Congress. This COM
mittoo can create public sentiment
that will be beneficial to us and we
should do our part. Select seven
good men who will attend the meet
ing Of this committee and send their
names to Governor Sadler.

British National Gallery.
The British National Portrait Gal
lery now contains between 1000 and
1,1D works Including sculpture and
medals,. but it may yet be considered
in its infantcy. 1t has recently been
estimated by Mr.. Sidney Lee. the pres
ent editor of the Dictionary of Ma
tional Biography" that since the year
1000 about 10000 persons have
achieved in the United Kingdom such
measure of distinction as to claim
the national biographers attention.
Though it may be going too far to
say that every o le of these has estab-
ilShed claim to Il portrait in the ma
tlonal collection. which at present
draws the lire at criminals and mere
ecccntrlcs; and though such claims
could not in Il very large number of
cases be satisfied. because 10 portraits
are i'll existence, there is still left an
enormous margin for the legitimate
extension of the National Portrait Gal
lery, especially as more than one por

with no aid of oratorical power, and
with no aptitude for the greasy arts of a

He never sought, and consequently

the places filled by him were those in
which the exercise of sound judgment
and sterling honesty are required. His

rissa was emptied. Instead of following
the troops to Pharsalos, the correspon-
dent, in order to get off his dispatches,
pushed on to Nolo, where there VAS a
panic almost eQualling the one at La
rissa. Fugltlves were arriving at Nolo
every few minutes, and they spread
| rumOrs that the Turks would enter the
place in a few hours. In the absence OF

caiques, on board of which the well-to-

Your correspondent hired caique and

there.-was great connection, crowds OF
people shouting to us to come out of the
boat. Then number of men made a
rush on board of her, threw Mr.. Hol-
dali out and pushed the correspondent
ashore. 1t seems that the lower classes,
panic-stricken, determined that if they
could not escape from Woo, no one else
should do so, and they cried: We all
must die together
To such an extent did this feeling of
panic spread that a government steam
err, which was embarking wounded SOL
diers fer the Pireaus, was Obliged to
leave Eolo harbor, owing to the fact that
the frantic population threatened to
make rush on board the steamship,
which would probably have resulted in
great loss of life. As 1t was the wounded
soldiers were taken on board the
steamer in small boats and the vessel
sailed for the Pireaus in a hurry leaving
two English nurses and six wounded
Greek soldiers on the quay. The nurses
and the wounded men were taken to
the British consulate.
