THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

When the eight hour Bill came up
for discussion last week in the Assem-
bly, the Senate adjourned in order TO
hear the debate.
Section 1st provides, That it shall be
unlawful after the taking effect OF this
Act for any person to work or labor
for period OF time longer than eight
consecutive hours in any underground
mine, except in cases of emergency,
where life and property are in imml-
nent danger.
Section provides that no corpora
ton or employer shall contract with or
hire men to work for more than eight
hours. The penalty is from $50 to S5OO
or Imprisonment in the county jail.
Mr.. Paul offered an amendment sus-
pending operations of the law whom
tailings or Stag are being worked.
Tailings are so low-grade, he said,
that in many instances If the eight
hour law was enjoined it would pre-
clude all possibility OF working them.
Mr.. Paul cited the example OF Utah,
when wages were reduced proportion
atsly with the hours of labor, and pre-
dicted that the proposed law would not
accomplish what was desired.
Mr.. Van Dnzer spoke for forty min
utes in favor OF the bill. The vote was
then taken and the Bill passed without
dissenting voice. AS the NEWS I'M
derstands the matter, the amendment
of Mr.. Paul also passed by vote OF
10 to II.
The NEws.is not in sympathy with
the Bill as passed, and does not believe
it is just to the miner. 1t takes away
individual liberty. 1t leaves man no
option in the matter. A man, it says,
SHALL not work more than eight hours
whether he wants to do so or not. No
one man or body of men has right to
say how long man shall work. II
miner wishes to work any certain num-
Der of hours, let him do so. OF course,
wages will be in proportion to the num-
Der of hours worked. One man has
more need OF money than another, and
may be willing to work longer in order
to make more. Why should the law
deprive him of the privilege? The
Prospector, working his own claim, in
tho solitude of the mountains, with
nething to cheer him but his labor, ac-
cording to this law, could not work but
eight hours. We do not believe the
law could be enforced. The Bill, how
ever, has not yet passed the Senate,
and may be considerably changed or
amended by that body.

BOARD OF TAXATION REPORTS

The Commissioners acting as a Board
of Taxation, have made their initial
report. The Board is composed of the
Governor, Attorney General and State
Controller. A copy Of this report has
been received at this Office, and the
NEWS makes the following extract
from it:
In every county in the State we re-
gard the fixing of valuations too low
and not in accordance with the law
requiring taxes to be levied on the
''full cash value" of the property, as
req uired by the Statutes OF 1893, page
A, section 2.
The result of this mistaken policy is
hat the valuation OF property in the
State is rated at less than twenty
millions, when the full cash value is at
least one hundred millions. The result
of the low valuation is high tax rate,
which has steadily increased, until the
average rate throughout the State is
over per cent, or, accurately speak
ing, according to the reports Of 1898,
SO. so on hundred.
Scores OF enterprises which would
yield excellent returns to investors
languish because OF the fact that in
vestors will not put their money into
State where the rate OF $3.50 stares
them in the face. By increasing the
valuation to one hundred millions and
reducing rate to per cent, this scare
crow is removed and outside money
will pour into this State and make an
empire Of it.
The advantages Of high valuation
and low rates are these
Capital will come into the State.
Fewer people will dodge their taxes.
The commercial rating Of the tax
payers win be higher with the COM
mercial houses with which they do
business.
More capital coming In from abroad
will help share the burdens of tax
alton, and cOrrespondingly lessen
them
An era of general prosperity will
| follow.
The proposed system will not in
crease, but lower, taxes, as 1t will COM
pei everyone to pay, and the amount
necessary to be raised in the aggregate
will be distributed among greater
number OF people.

THE QUEEN AT REST.

The body of Queen Victoria was laid
beside that of the Prince Consort In
the mausoleum at Frogmore on the
second Of the month. OF course, the
funeral ceremonies were as grand as
wealth and love and power could make
them. All OF the civilized nations OF
the earth temporarily set aside their
differences to pay homage to the mem
ory of q woman whose influence has
girdled the globe. The crowned heads
Of Europe, or their special representa-
tives and the accredited delegates OF
the American republics assembled at
her bier 70 pay the last tribute OF re-
spect. The magnificent ceremony oil
the transfer of the body OF the dead
monarch from the Isle OF Wight to
Portsmouth through the avenue form
ed by the mighty ships OF the nation,
and other vessels from the fleets oil
France, Germany, Portugal, Japan
and Spain has never been surpassed
And no spectacle was ever Witnessed In
the British metropolis which equalled
in it's solemn splendor the funeral pro-
cession which escorted the dead Queen
through its principal streets on the
way to Windsor. Perhaps the nearest
approach in modern times to this ex-
traordinary scene was presented In our
own country at the funerals OF Presi-
dents Grant and Garfield.
Wherever the English flag flies, or
the English tongue is spoken, the fu-
neral OF the Queen was observed. The
high esteem in which the memory oil
the Queen is held in this country has
been shown since the hour OF her death
by the half-masting OF flags on private
and public buildings everywhere in the
land, the transmission TO England oil
innumerable messages of coincidence
and friendly sympathy, in which the
highest In authority and the lowliest
in the land united, and in the public
memorial services held on the day oil
her funeral at various points N the
country.

CLIMATE OF NEVADA.

Nevada is essentially land of sun
shine. There are more clear days on
its deserts than seem conceivable TO
eastern people; in fact, the sunshine
causes the desert, when cultivated and
irrigated, to produce bountiful crops
OF all the cereals, grasses and yegeta-
bles of the temperate zone.
The atmosphere Is pure. Consump-
ton the scourge of the Northeastern
States, never originates and seldom
develops in Nevada, even when the
seeds of the disease are brought here,
and malarial diseases, so prevalent In
the great valleys bordering on the Mis-
sissippi, are scarcely heard OF in our
State.
The temperature varies according to
locality. In the northern counties the
mercury seldom goes many degrees be-
low zero In the coolest seasons; and sell
dom rises to more than 100 degrees In
midsummer, and the extremes are OF
brief duration. When the nights are
coolest the days are usually pleasant.
When the days are hottest the nights
are as cool as could be desired for COM
fort.
In the extreme southern part OF the
State all the semi-tropical fruits and
vegetables are produced in abundance.
Fall weather in Nevada is most de-
lightful. The sun generally shines in
all its beauty, and the sky has tint
which, it is said, 1t never assumes ex-
cept at attitudes far above sea-leyel
and in the purest atmosphere. Hon.
E. d. Kelly's Report.

ST. VALENTINES DAY.

AS early as the 10Th Century, St.
Valentines Day, the 18th of February,
was celebrated in England, Scotland,
and different parts OF the Continent.
The word Valentine means gallant,
or lover, and ST. Valentine was chosen
as the lovers Saint, probably on ac-
count of his name.
The ancient custom was for a num-
Der OF young people to get together on
the eve of Valentine s day, and write
upon little billets the names of young
men and maidens of their acquaintance,
throw the whole into q receptacle OF
some sort, and then draw them out,
lottery-wise The person thus drawn
became ones Valentine These imagi-
nary engagements often led to real en-
gagemonts, and SO the practice has
continued, In somewhat changed way,
to the present time.
For many years, however, the day
has been observed by sending and re-
ceiving prettily printed missives, con-
tanning some message of love. Some
OF these valentines are real works oil
art, while some are comic and often
sive. 1t is quite common to see in store
windows, in large towns and cities, hid
sous caricatures, which no one ought
to buy or send to another. A day OF
love and affection should not be allow
cd to degenerate into a day for hurting
the feelings OF another, however objec-
tionable he or she may be.
1t may be added that some scholars
think the day has come down to us
from the ancient Romans, who certain
ly had custom in the month of Feb
ruary, somewhat similar to our own.

THE NEW RAILROAD DEAL.

The San Francisco Chronicle, dis
cussing the new railroad deal, supposes
the main power In the hands OF the
Vanderbilts, and says:
"There are no saints In that family,
that We have heard Of, and the Van
derbilt policy is unquestionably to
make money for the vanderbilts, rath-
er than for other folks, but their man.
agement OF other properties indicate
that they believe that they will make
most money by developing the country
which their railroads traverse. For
the present we may assume that that
will be the policy In this State. That
is what we desire. The through trunk
lines are now completed, and any fur
Their expenditure must be in the de-
velopment OF local business, which will
help us. There are some obvious ad-
vantages in the new arrangement.
When our fruit growers committees
ask for better arrangements the traffic
managers can no longer tell them that
''they would gladly do 1t were 1t not
for our wicked and obstinate connect
IONS" There is clear track for them
now. Also the managers can make
low immigrant rates, as the Northern
companies owning complete transcon-
tinental lines have long been doing.
On the whole, the new arrangement
may be a very good thing for us. We
can hope so, at any rate, until we find
