act OF March 3. 1905, (33 Stat. 9Os) quoted
by you. supra, to be paid to institutions
adJudged to be under sectarian control
Your first question is whether you are
authorized to pay this voucher. In view or
the payments which have already been
made to this institution, the further ques-
ton arises whether the st. Josephs Male
Orphan Asylum Is an institution 'adjudged
to be under sectarian control within the
meaning of the above prohibitive provision.
THE provision does not indicate any court
or other tribunal by which such institutions
are to be 'adjudged' to be under sectarian
control. am therefore of opinion that the
question whether the st. Joseph's Male Or
phan Asylum Is under sectarfan control is
primarily to be adjudged by the board OF
children's guardians, and that If it is adj
judged by the board not to be under sec

Nevada Shippers and Terminal Rates.
Appeal.

The proposition to take up the
fight for terminal rates in Nevada
is one that should meet with the
approval or every shipper and
consumer in the State. How
much the State has been handi-
capped by this unjnst and utterly
indefensible policy on the part
of the railroad company can
never be estimated in dollars and
cents. We are all familiar with
the power welded by transporta-
ton companies in the upbuilding
or ruination of communities by
the juggling of tariffs, andwhen a
whole State is taxed to all the
tariff will bear it becomes OBJ
viously impossible under ordin-
airy circumstances for common
wealth to make any material adj
vance either in wealth or popula-
tion.
Nevada would be content, for
the present at least, with the
rates granted to San Francisco or
Sacramento. What the people
object to is what is known as the
shack haul" Freight now con-
consigned from the East to Reno
for instance, is made to pay the
through rate to San Francisco
and in addition the local rate
from tidewater back to its desti-
nation. This additional tariff is
charged and collected even though
the freight is never hauled past
this city. Thus charge is
made for service that is un-
necessary and even never per-
formed. The railroads attempt
to justify this discrimination by
claiming that all through freight
is hauled at a loss owing to the
necessity of meeting the lower
transportation charges of the
water haul, and that it is neces-
sary in order to cover this dis
crepancy to tax all interior points
with an additional local rate. In
this calculation apparently no
account is taken of the blighting
effects on those less advantage

Carson, New. May 1S-Governor
Sparks has disblnded the Nevada
National Guard. The two companies
at Virginia, the only ones in the State,
failing to keep their membership at the
proper limit and thus not entitled to
aid from the Federal Government. the
State Executive considered it impossible
to properly maintain military organiza-
ton in Nevada, and his order is that it
shall be disbanded.
In his order, issued to all company
commanders, the Governor takes q
tilt at the late Legislative Assembly by
saying that a bill to foster and
strengthen the National Guard was
recommended by him and was unan-
imously passed by the Senate. The As
sembly, however. he says. defeated it
and thus deprived the State of needed
military reserve.
The National Guard is not popular in
Nevada, where there is an over. whelm-
ing population of mining and other
laboring men. On this account it is
most difficult to secure members.

NEvADA'S MILITIA DISBANDED
To u. S. Officer Members Stated
They Would Not Fight
Labor Strikers.

Governor Sparks has issued an order
disbanding the Nevada State militia on
May 20. The reason given for the or.
der is that Nevada has failed to bring
her enlistment up to 300 men, which is
necessary before the United States will
equip the troops. This condition was
reported to the War Department by
Captain w. q. Ham of the general
staff, who inspected the organized
militia of the State on April 1. 1906.
The Virginia Chronicle gives the
following as the reason why the local
companies were mustered out:
The reason why the local militia
companies were mustered out was not
ON account Of members being below the
standard in drih or personnel, but was
due to the question put to the company
members. whether in case Of labor
strike. if called upon to suppress it with
arms, would they respond?
The reply was that in that case they
wouli stack their arms and break
ranks.
This shows that the visit of the
United States army officer was not for
the purpose of inspecting the efficiency
of the companies. but for the reason
above stated. The action of ordering
The mastering out of the companies on
that ground discloses the hostility of the
Administration to organized labor and

Cay.on's Matrimonial Boom.

L0Fs0u Nfatf1ftCff<s &eofss-
From the tone of certain let.
ters received in this Office of late
il looks as il matrimonial boom
might not be out of place in this
city.
Carson seems to have almost
everything desirable to build uI
city except choice assortment
of manageable young men.
Pure water, cool nights, equit.
able elm ate, good society, beauti'
town, abundance of shade trees
and more than her share Of
moonlight nights, but scarcity
of young men.
The young ladies in the hour
of distress have turned to the Ap-
peal to start a matrimonial boom
One young lady intimated that
we should pay more attention to
this feature of the country's prog
ress than writing up mining de-
velopments all the while.
Now there is certainly no
better place on the coast for a
matrimonial boom than Carson.
The town is over run with hand
some girls who are more than
ordinarily intelligent. They have
education, beauty, and culture,
and it would seem that men who
have come from the East to make
their fortunes should assist in
the development of the State by
gathering in Carson after they
had made their piles in the
Southern mining camps, ana mere
marrying and settling down in
the garden spot of Nevada where
they can gather their growing
families about them and spend
the sunset of their days in peace
and contentment.
We believe that the time is
ripe-dead ripe for matrimonial
boom in Carson, and we call
upon the State press to spread
the news in every direction that
this berg possesses advantages in
the line of prospective brides
that is shared by no other To-
cality on the Coast
We invite inspection.-Carson

argument to convince the people

State would be to their advan-

been compelled to pay tribute to
San Francisco because the rail-
road company charged its people
a greater freight rate than it did
the merchants of San Francisco,
thereby compelling them to buy
of San Francisco wholesalers or
pay excessive freights on goods
shipped from the East. Through
