PARTY LINES ARE TO Be OBL|-
TERA1ED

The Democrats OF the legislature
have made proposition to the Re-
publicans to meet them this evening
in joint caucus and discuss the rail
road situation. Both parties laid
down planks in their platforms rec
ommending railroad legislation and
the Democrats have no desire to make
political capital out of the matter.
They argue that if a Democratic
House passes a railroad bill and the
Republican Senate turnes it down
that it will be of great benefit to the
Democratic party in this state, but
they also argue that it will not benc-
fit the state at large and they regard
the interests of the tate as para
mount to the interests Of the Demo
cratic party.
With this idea in mind they desire
a meeting OF all the members OF the
Legislature with party lines wiped out
and all pulling for the common good.
lit is not the idea of the people who
favor a revision of freight and passen-
ger rates TO cinch the corporations.
They realize the fact that the rail
roads desire TO develop Nevada but
it is also worth considering that the
mining prOspector is the pioneer OF
the railroad company and ne blazes
the way and makes the discoveries
first and after he has founded the
prosperity which brings the railroad,
! it is unfair that the railroad take the
! lions share of that discovery.
| Let the profits of mining be d.
vided in such a way that both miner
and common carrier will each have a
! fair proportion of these profits.
This is the spirit governing the
Democracy in this matter and they ex
pect the Republicans in the legisla
ture to be actuated by the same feel
ins.
If the railroads will act in lib
and not try to take all the profits a.
the state, it will in the end reap 9
greater advantage and a few years
from now be doing twice the busi
ness they are now doing.
These new mining camps have
come to stay and will be running
twenty years from now and with lib
eral dealing on the part of the rail
iroad scores of other mining camps
will spring from the desert waste anC
Outshine those which are booming 81
merrily now.
Let us take care of our own state
industries first. They are more i'm
portant to us than the outside corpor
ations which are coming in here II
follow the wake of our enterprise an
feast and fatten off it.
Every man who attneds this caucu
should come with spirit of fairnes
and liability, but first of all he shout
have in mind the upbuilding of NJ
> vada as against the world.

ANOTHER GOLDF|ELD OElECA-
ton MAY VISIT HERE
It is Coming to Camp on the Trial Of
Railroad Legislation.

The following is from the Goldfield
Tribune:
Neither Milton NJ. Detch, president
of the Chamber Of Commerce, nor
Joseph Hutchinson, chairman of the
promotion committee, are much in
favor Of the proposition to send
petition from the people of Goldfield
asking for a bill regulating and re-
ducing railroad rates at the hanls
Of the legislature and Carson City.
They are Of the opinion that men
who would disregard the platform
pledges upon which they were elect
ed by the people would disregard any
petition. Petitions are framed to be
pigeOn-hOled, according TO both cf
these gentlemen. What they think
should be done is to get together"
again and send a delegation down to
Carson equipped with funds to ena-
bic them to stay there until the legis-
latIon desired is passed. That is
The business way to meet the situa-
lion tney say.
whats the use" said Mr.. Detch
yesterday afternoon, wien the mes
Tribune Yesterday, was shown him.
whats the use? 1t would, in my
opinion, be a mere waste of time and
energy. These men were elected up
on a platform plainly requiring them
10 do the thing We are now asking,
and expecting, them to do. Some
say they have been Influenced since
the election by such temporizing sen
timents as were uttered by some
speakers at the TOnopah banquet,
and that strong petition signed by
/ great numbers would serve to coun-
teract the effect of those speeches.
Was not the vote a heavy one, with
large majorities in favor of the re-
forms called for? Every man on the
stump during the campaign made a
specially of the railroad situation.
THE governor was as pronounced
in his speeches AS any. He says now
we do not want to frighten the rail.
road people from their building plans
by radical legislation. To be sure
we do not; nor do l understand that
we are asking for such legislation
But what we do want was set forth
in the platform of the party, and we
do expect the legislature to give us
the relief that we know we should
have, and that would not drive any
railroads out of the state or prevent
the coming of any that are not here
. We want a railroad rate that will
encourage, and not retard the devel
opment Of the state. The time is VI
, when we should get action. Peti
, tions won't do any good. We shoult

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.
No One Paying any Attention to Them
In the Legislature.

The writing of letters to members
of the Legislature by people who do
not dare to sign their names is only
disgusting the members who receive
them. They simply go into the waste
basket and no further attention is paid
them by anyone.
The opinion of the governor over
his signature regarding this class of
cattle is endorsed by every one who
has read it.
