Nearlv all tbe newspapers in the
United States are advocating the pas
sage of a bill by Congress to place news
piper, or at least the materials used 1ft
its manufacture, on the free list. This
action on the part of the papers was
caused by a combination of paper man
ufacturers, which resulted in an in
crease of from twenty-five to forty per
cent, in the ;wice of ordinary printing
paper. The press is considered all
powerful, yet it is extremely donbtfnl
if it succeeds in getting paper on the
free list. There are at least two mem
bers of Congress, one named Warner
Miller of New York, and the other W.
A. Russell of Massachusetts, v/h» are
interested in the manufacture of paper.
Both are wealthy anil are in the com
bination that increased the price o£
paper. These gentlemen appeared be
fore the Committee on Ways and
Means and advocated their own inter
ests* They were not content with the
influence of their wealth and positions
as members of Congress, but insisted on
pleading their own cause, with advan
tages which the newspapers ealniot pre
tend to claim. Whatever the recommen
dations of the committee may be, they,
as members of Congress, will, in addi
tion to what they have said before tlio
committee, have opportunity to speak
and vote against a reduction of duty on
paper, or the materials used in its man
ufacture. Under these circumstances
it is doubt!ul if Congress will place pa
per on the free list, though possibly it
may reduce the duty on soda, ash and
some other ingredients used in its man
ufacture..
Jenerson s Mfcmiai, citmg trom tne
British Parliamentary practice, says:
“ Where the private interests of a
member ate concerned in a bill or ques
tion, he is to withdraw. And where
such an interest has appeared, his voice
has been disallowed, even after a divis
ibn. In a case so contrary, not ordy to
the laws of decency, but to the funda
mental principle of the social compact,
which denies to any man to be a judge
hi his own cause, it is to the honor of
the House that this rule of immemorial
observance should be strictly ad lie red
to.”
Notwithstanding this precedent, and
the suggestion that for the Junior of
Congress it should lie observe*!, the
paper manufacturers in the House re
sort to all the methods known to lobby
ists to defeat a bill which concerns their
private interests.

The Elko Post, Reno Gazette, State
Journal ami Carson Appeal—all Repub
lican papers—are opposed to Sharon’s
re J tion to the United States Senate,
and in favor of having the Austin Con
vention demand his resignation^ On
this proposition the Gazette is out
spoken. It sc vs :
“ We would like to see the Republi
can Convention which meets at Austin
request Mr. Sharon to send in his res
ignation as Senator. Pm haps, how
ever, this would be asking too much of
the party. If he is a candidate for re
election he will contribute to the cam
paign fund, which is small enough at
best, and the party leaders would do
nothing to drive him and his money
away. The people at large can find no
fault with that. If he is willing to do
his snare and take his chances with
other candidates, well and good, but if
he goes into primaries ami tries to pack
the next Legislature with his friends,
there will lie a row.”
It is not probable, however, that the
convention will gratify the desir? of the
Gazette. Storey county will be repre
sented in force at Austin, and will be
likely to control the action of the con
vention on that proposition. The Vir
ginia Enterprise, Gold Hill News and
Carson Tribune, never have a word of
disapproval of Sharon’s course, aud in
dignantly rejiel as rebel insinuations,
which no paper that is “ truly loil ” to
the Virginia & Truckee Railroad,
should heed, that Sharon is not a resi
dent of Nevada; that for over four
years of kis Senatorial term he did not
occupy h» seat in the Senate over four
weeks, and that during a whole session
of Congress, when the silver bill was
before tl<at body, he did not go to
Washington at u|L
TEIfttifeimC fTKVft.
In pursnance of the call of George
H. Shield*, the recently depose*! Chair
man of the Republican State Committee
of Missouri, six members of the commit
tee and two proxies met Tuesday night.
Mr. Shields presented an address to the
j Republicans of Missouri, which he was
authorised to have published. In it he
severely attacks Chauncey J. Filley,
present Chairman of the State Commit
tee, and his partisans, and characterizes
the remora! of himself as Chairman as
unrepubfrean and unjust. Sheilda
says because he was for Blaine, Filley
packed the committee with proxies and
beat him. He calls oa good Republi
cans to elect delegates to the Sedalia
Convention to defeat Filley aad his
schemes. The members ef the com
mittee who were present were generally
against Grant, but will support the
nominee of the National Convention.
It is reported from Washington- that
Senator Bailey said that the sub-com
mittee of the Judiciary Committee
would soon take cognizance o# his reso
lution of inquiry touching the Phciffe
Mail Steamship Company, and that the
1 names of persons familiar with the
transaction com plained ef between it
and the railroad company, and its effect
on trans-continental commerce were in
his possession. These persons would be
requested to appear and testify, the
idem being te show that toe contract
was against public policy and a con
spiracy against the eoaimereial public,
requiring the immediate act-ion of Con
gress. Among the parties mentioned
were Dillon, Huntington, Keene,
Gould, Sage and others.
Queen Victoria, in her speech pro-!
roguing Parliament yesterday, said she
was induced by considerations of pub
lic policy and convenience to select
this period of the session for releasing
Parliament from its duties, with a view
to its immediate dissolution and the
issue of v. rits for a general election.
She tendered her warm acknowledg
ments tfo Ihrliament for the zeal ami
ability displayed, and especially for the
manner in which the policy sf the Gov
ernment has been upheld.
Senator Hill and a friend have filed
affidavits that Jessie Raymond is to
tally unknown to Hill, has no claim on
him, is attempting to extort money by
annoyance and threats, anil that he
(HiR) believes that* the latter may be
dangerous. He asserts that she is an
abandoned character, and request* the
police to take action in the matter.
His friend (Smalls) testified that Jessie
had saiil she would have .$500 or Hill’s
life, if she hung for it.
The Council of Two Hundred, of the
Citizens Protective Union of San Fran
cisco, nominated fifteen freeholders as
candidates for the charter election—
wight Democrats and sevep Re pul beans.
It is expected that they will be in
dorsed by the Democratic and Repub
lican County Committees. Should these
nominees be elected, the Democrats
will have tins eight on their side for
once.
Mr. Hayes sent the following nomi
nations to the Senate yesterday:
James B. Angell of Michigan, to be En
voy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni
potentiary to China, vise Seward, re
called; John F. Swift of California and
Wiliam H. Trescott ofc South Carolina
to be Commissioners to China, to. nego
tiate a treaty with Chfna.
The Chicago Times’ Galveston special
says : General Frisbie, an extensive
miner in Mexico, who catae with Grant,
says the General told him he hoped the
Republicans would not nominate him.
But, Frisbie says, Grant is a candidate
in the hope of bettering biacivil recor<U
The New York Herald’s Washington
special says a movement is on foot to
have Grant withdraw from the field.
It is reported that Cameron aiul those
acting with him have resolved to adopt
Senator Edmunds as ther candidate.
At Lawrencevilie, Pa., this morning,
Sidney Green killed his wife, and,
being pursued, shot himself dead. The
wife had only recently returned from
the West.
A heavy storm prevailed in Califor
nia yesterday.
A hoy of seventeen married a woman
of seventy at Jasper, Alabama, but his
parents captured him immediately after
the ceremony and banished him to a!

A young SaoTraneiico liUmtist n»roe*l
Younger, sued a Mrs. Tippett, of tbafc
city for 1918, for- professional service*.
Mr. Younger charged for 114| hours*
services at the rate of 88 per hour, and
intimated on the witness stand that
that was below his regular price. The
defendant had paid $287 for th* services
and offered to pay more m settle

bitant charge for a dentist to make,, and
the Court took the matter under ad
