THE ATE CONGRESS.

The session Of congress, Just conclud-
ed has shown the power OF an honest
and viEiIant minority. The democrats
wore signally successful in forcing the
passage Of the railroad rate bill, al
though they could not defeat its mutila.
ton on important amendments. They
Joined with honest republicans in de.
featinR the Roosev Welt and the republi.
can machine program for the admission
Of Arizona and New Mexico as one
state and in passing the enabling act
for the admission OF Oklahoma. The
democrats compelled the republicans to
pass the Tilman Gillespie resolution for
the investigation Of the railroads and
the coal and oil companies. which has
already resulted in the startling expo.
q ures Of the Pennsylvania railroad
scandals. They have with republican
assistance defeated the Santo Domingo
treaty, which go greatly enlarged the
scope OF the Monroe doctrine and
threatened to involve us in quarrels
with all the South American republics
and likewise the notorious ship subsidy
steal, which was recommended by Presi.
dent Roosevelt.
II the democrats had been in power
they would nave passed man very
m%eritorious measures which the major.
ity defeated, among which were the Till
man bill designed to prohibit contribu.
tons by corporations to campaign cor
ruptiOn funds; the eigbt.hour bill; the
child labor blu; the bill to reduce the
Philippine tariff; bills to revise the tariff
especially the bill to reduce tariff rates
which exceed 100 per cent; the Tillman

Conditions in Nevada are similar to
those in Colorado. The statute govern
ing railroad rates in Nevada is rs follows:
1T shall be unlawful for N such
railroad company to charge more than
ten cents per mile for each passenger,
and twenty cents per mile for each ton
OF freight transported ON its road; and
for each transgression OF such limita.
ton the company shall be Liable to the

amount OF fare or freight 80 charged to
such party, provided, that in no case
shall the company be required to re-
ceive less than thirty-tve cents for any
one lot Of freight for any distance
THIS statute was approved March %.
1865. Under it the railroad companies
have charged all the traffic will bear.
They have thrived under it for over forty
years and it is nov time for the people
TO have a show. The next legislature
should amend this law and place Nevada

may flow from the railroad law passed

The Britishers are ha vInR their
stomachs turned inside out by the
annual report OF the inspector OF fac
tories and workshops. According to his
report, dirty factories and disgusting
methods seem to be the rule ID jam
factories. bakeries and sausage factories.
Here is the report OF a typical jam
factory:
"Ihe boiling room lay between the
yard and the stable and the horses
reached tile latter through the boiling
room. The sanitary accommodation
was hardly separated from the rooms
where the fresh fruit and uncovered jam
we're kept and the floors were dirty and
nndrained."
Another factory inspector found jam
pots being washed in ~liquid.like dark
soup, which smelled abominable.7
Tho manager informed the inspector
that the water was changed "about once
a week." When fished on. these evil
smelling tanks the pots were allowed
to stand undry, when they we're con-
sidered to DO ready to receive fresh In.
stallments OF preserves.
