LINCOLN , .Ian. 3. I
The first railroad bill of any special im
portance will be Introduced In the house ono
day this week by Hon. C. L. Hall , of Lan
caster county. The bill seeks to regulate
railroads , Increase the powers anil further
define the duties of the state board of trans
portation , and to punish violations thereof.
The first section ilcscrlhos the common
carriers affected by the bill , and anplles to
the same railroads designated by the act of
1SS7 , creating the hoard of transportation.
Section two establishes the Nebraska
classification of freight. In alplmhelieal ar
rangement this is . .ho same classification us
the western classification under which all
railroads Immllo freight to-day.
It Is provided that any classification ether
than this is unlawful anil prohibited , In ref
erence to individual articles this is much
lower limn western classification upon im
portant products , manufactured In the state ,
or distributed in the state , us agricultural
Implement ! ) , barbed wire , apples , packing
house products , butter , cheese , eggs , glass ,
hardware , building paper , wrapping paper-
fciice-postn , sweet potatoes , poultry , syrup ,
baled straw and hay , harvest twinu and vin
cgar. This is the Illinois classification mod
ified in the Interests of the people of this
state. In this connection it Is well for the
people to know that tno western classifica
tion of freight has been revised by the west
ern classification committee , J. T. Klploy ,
chairman , taking effect January 10 , 1 80 , and
in It classification is charged on
perhaps 20 to 40 nor cent , so that the rates
are made higher in Nebraska than hereto-
fore.
Section H establishes maximum freight
rates , to be known as the Nebraska dis
tance tarilT schedule , of reasonable maxi
mum freight rates , ( t establishes rates on
merchandise In cents per hundred pounds , la
Jive classes , where loss t'mn ' car load lots are
shipped , and in live classes where car load
shipments are made. It establishes rates in
cunts per hundred pounds In car load lots for
wheat , corn , lumber , salt and similar arti
cles , and rates in ear load lots , in dollars
per car , for horses , cattle , hogs and sheep.
anil coal in cents per ton of 'J.uiK ) pounds , all
for distances from five to OUO miles. The
rates on merchandise- are based
upon the formula which the
state board of transportation once
adopted and then rescinded to-wit : First
class bcini ! 100 per cent , the second 8" ) par
cent of the first , the third 00 % per cent of
the first , the fourth W ) per cent of the first ,
the fifth ! ' ) per cent ot the the first , and A.
] t.C , II and K classes at 4(1 ( , 3(1 ( , 25 , 22' mid
yi ) per cent each respectively , all based upon
the first.
Kviilcntly the classification in section ' )
aims to make K the uopulur class. These
rates on everything except coal , work a re
duction on rates within this sUuo on an
average of 2i ) to 40 per cent , and that these
rates nro the identical rates which
the railroads put into force in the state of
Iowa May 10 , 1838 , and hence worn In their
Judgment adequate rates for that stajto : yet
the board of railroad commissioners of Iowa ,
July 6 , I8SS , promulgated u tariff of reason
able maximum rates for Iowa , which worked
n reduction of at least 40 pur cent on the
railroad tariff of May 10 , aforesaid in Iowa.
Governor Larrabco stated in his speech to
the house- last week that the railroad man
agers of the trunk lines told him within the
past few weeks thut they would accept the
commissioners tariff , of July 0 , which , as
said before , is lower by 40 per cent than the
tariff in this act sought to bo ostnb-
liahpd for Nebraska , were it not
for the fact that the battle
in Iowa oetweon the railroads and the com
missioners had for its object , not merely the
prevention of the control by thostato of rates
ni In Iowa , but to prevent such action in the
I neighboring states of Nebraska , Minnesota
and Kansas.
Section 4 provides that all railroads touch
ing the same point in this state where freight
is received and delivered shall nt pro rata
cost build and maintain switches for com
mon use for transfering freight from one
road o1 * depot to another ; that whenever n
shipper of freight from any point In this
state to any other point must ship over two
or more lines to reach point of destination ,
the railroad company at point of shipment.
shall make through way bill to point of desti
nation , and the rata to bo charged for each
shipment shall not bo the sum of two ojjinore
locals , but shall bo the rate fixed In section
8 for the shortest milcago distance for any
railroad route , from paint of shipment to
point of destination. *
Section A empowers and directs the board
of transportation to reduce the rates on any
class or commodity in the schedule , and to
ralso the classification whenever it shall ap-
pour to the majority of the board just and
rcasonnblo to do so. But the board of trans
portation shall never change the classifica
tion so us to raise the rates.
Section 0 provides that articles not
enumerated in the classiflention , or
rated in the schedule , shall bo
classed with analogous articles , and where
there Is any conflict between the classifica
tions and Hchedule the rutos shall govern ,
Section 7 provides that any railroad com-
jiany Umt shall classify freights in the state
of Nebraska , other timl differently than by
this act done , by means whereof the rate or
rates on any nrtlcio would bo made higher
am d greater than by .this net fixed , and any
railroad company that shall charge , demander
or take more for the transportation of freight
than Is by this act fixed and allowed to betaken
taken , such railroad company shall forfeit
mid pay to the party injured $1.000 , as liqua-
ilntlve- damages , for each and every such in
jury , to bo recovered as debt for the iamo
amount are recoverable nt law.

SAX FuAJfctsc-o , Jnn. 1. [ Special
Correspondent. of Tin : BKK. ] A lively
controversy IH raping between the Ex
aminer on ono siilo and the Call ivml
Bulletin on the ether about the labor
problem , caused by the expulsion of
the Chinese. The Examiner has inter
viewed a number of fruit anil grape
growers , anil 1ms elicited from thorn all
an avowal of dibSixUsiuetion at the
prospect before thorn. They have
hitherto relied almost entirely on
Chinese labor , and they are afraid that
they will not liavo hands enough when
the season arrives. All this is true
enough , but this touches the very root
of the matter , and was , in fact , the
basis of the opposition made to the
Oliinoso by intelligent and patriotic
men. With them there was no ques
tion of race antipathy , but a desire to
see the heathen replaced in the Holds of
labor by white men , because the latter
would marry and settle down and
multiply , whereas , the Chinese came
hero to make a pile and go away.
The fruit-growers HUcd to bo
able to go to u Chinese boss , and make a
contract for so many pickers for such a
time , anil then wash their hands of the
whole business. They preferred labor
that would bo absolutely like machin
ery. This was well known. Hut this
was not for the good of the state , being
altogether too much like slavery. Wo
wanted the employers of labor to
change this view , and as we were in the
majority wo prevailed. And now the
asinine Examiner , the great Demo
cratic organ of the state , proposes .actu
ally to work for a repeal of the exclu
sion bill , and get the Chinese back in
two years , in the interests of California
fruit raisers and wine industries. Not
much. If those former employers of
Chinese lalior are disquieted at the
prospect , let them buckle to , and make
arrangements for introducing white im
migrants.
WIIliltK THK TltOmr.K I.IKS.
But they do not want to do this , not
precisely because of the expense , though
that is a consideration , but because
white men will not como with the more
hope of getting wages. They want a
living show to got a little land , enough
for ( i house and garden at any rate.
And the fools in Southern California
have boon booming their land until
they have got it fur beyond its real
value. It is not right to say that be
cause oranges can be planted so many
to the acre , and an aero can
be made to riay so much a year ,
therefore , land is to bo universally ap
praised in that section upon that basis.
But that is precisely how they figured.
More than that , they have extended
the limits of their cities , and have laid
out town lots in localities that never
will bo anything but horticulturalaudto
which the streets of the future will
never creep. No argument can con
vince those greedy creatures that they
are simply delaying their prosperity ,
not working for it. They are besotted ,
and believe that land will always fetch
from $500 to $1,000 an acre. It might if
everyone was going to raise oranges or
raisins , Out then , everyone cannot.
Some must bo the servants of the oth
ers , soma must do the picking , some ttio
packing , some the hauling. When a
Chinese boss could . bo found , all this
was easily arranged. But Chinese labor
is a thing of the past , and white labor
has to take its place white labor that
will live pn the spot , and voteand make
laws , and , perhaps , go on strike occa
sionally , and will insist upon living de
cently and bringing up families de
cently , and will not allow itbolf to bo
treated as more machinery. No doubt
the mon who own orange groves would
like to reserve all their intellectual en
ergies to dccido which is the more
remunerative , a Riverside Navel , or a
Valencia Late , and do not wish the
labor question to invade their odorifer
ous retreats. But Providence that rules
the world will not sull'or any form of
slavery , and the capitalist , no matter
where ho is , when ho employs white
labor will never bo allowed to forgot
that hois employing llosh and blood
like himself.

Immigration to Nevada lias not been

highly gratifying to bo able to an
nounce that a largo party consisting of

Samuei Plutarch Davis is much more of

lands ohoso Carson ratlior than

ests committed to his charge. For
this gentleman is the trustee of the
Sharon estate , and apparently ho
thinks ho ought to have at least n
United States sonatorship for his
trouble , over and above his legal foes.
The pear will bo ripe when the legisla
ture of Novndu moots in January , 1801 ,
for they will have to elect a successor
to Senator Jones , whoso term expires
in March of that year , Jones has been
Ills own fauccosbor twice already , and it
lias not cost him a cent , and Nowlands
evidently calculates that by concentrat
ing all the Sharon interests , and upend
ing money freely ho may oust him. But
this is tv mistake , us ho will find out.
Senator Jones not only represents Ne
vada in the United States senate , but
ho represents the interests of silver
over the whole world. IIo is the rep
resentative silver man of this continent ,
and his name is fiuniliar-to every load
ing blmotnllist in the Latin union.
Who is Nowlnndi ? Nobody. What is
NowlandsV A third-rate lawyer. When
ho comes to concentrate the Sharon in-
toroBts ho will find that they are inex
tricably connected with the retention
of JOUOB in the United States senate.
At the present time , when the cause of
silver U trembling in the balance , and
the hopes of the silver advocates have
been raised very high , the substitution
of Nowlands for Jones is an utter
impossibility , and so lie will find out.
It is for this reason that neither
Jones , nor Stewart are over opposed ,
and both have practically a walk-over ,
When silver is restored to its true place
in the monetary scales of the world.
Jones will have tilled his mission and
thore.wlll be a chance for the mon in

ingratitude , but until then Jones is too
useful , toot necessary , and NowlamU

The trustees of the. Lick fund have
obtained permission to pay over to the
California Academy of .Sciences and to
the Society of California Pioneers SliOO-
000 apiece. It is painful to ho compelled
to record the humiliating circumstances
that these two associations , both of
which have the conlldcnco and respect
of the community in no trilling degree ,
are still squabbling about the right of
way. The academy has planned to
spend its bequest in a noble soycn-story
romanesque structure that will bo an
ornament to the city , but they have to
build on ground over which the Pion
eers have a right of way. Fifteen hu.ii-
drcd dollars in cash anil an ornamental
facade at the west end in honor of the
Pioneers have boon offered , but the lat
ter insist upon maintaining a fifty-foot
right of way through the lot. and this
will prevent the erection of the
structure. This is ono of those matters -
tors in which arbitrators are
of real service , for they look
upon the question from the point of
view of equity. Of course , the Pion
eers have the legal right , but the argu
ment turns upon the loss to the public
by their maintaining their right abso
lutely. The quarrel has now become a
perfect scaiidal.'and people are talcing
sides like so many.Guolphs and Ghibcl-
lincs. I niiist' say that the Academy
were wrong11" in assuming without any
right so to do , and without consulting
any of the Pioneers , that the society
of the latter , would waive their rignt of
way. This was < the real gravamen of
irritation , and. the Pioneers have stead
ily refused to-consider any of the sub
sequent ort'e'rs of the scientists. Their
dignity was wounded by the bug collec
tors , and before * the matter can bo set
tled it will bo necessary for the latter to
eat humble pie. My proposition has
been that the Academy should give the
Pioneers a banquet , and make speeches
laudatory of what they have done for
this city , and ollor to submit the matter
to arbitration , when each man has two
good bottles of Eclipse under his vest.
This wine bus a very humanizing effect ,
as I know by experience , for I have
mollified more than ono mortal enemy
by opening a bottle and filling his
glass.

within the borders of California , In
cluding the Central Pacific and the
California & Oregon , both of which are
leased lines. The company has already
paid the countv taxes , amounting to
$ ; ! 00,000 , but besides this the state board
of equalization assessed them on the
value of their franchises in pursuance
of the position taken thereon by the
United States supreme court. This
further tax amounts to $321.07.70 ! ) , and
this sum has been covered into the
state treasury Colonel Creed Hay-
mend , the legal adviser of the Southern
Pacificwas strongly adverse to the pay
ment , which is natural , as ho is a law
yer , and his most profitable lishing IH in
troubled waters. But it is generally
understood that Colonel Prod Crocker
insisted upon its being paid , bncauso ho
is desirous that the Southern
Pacific shall be appreciated by all
'
Califoriiiuns as the friend of'tiie
state , and its most active agent in the
development of its wonderful resources.
But though the money has becnhandod
over , n legal protest from Colonel Jlay-
mend was lodged at the same time , for
ho takes the stand that the state- cannot
legally tax the Central Pacific and its
allied roads , IIo claims that the right
toopnrato and manage the railroad and
to transact business is derived from the
federal government , and that the state
cannot by any act whatever hinder , do-
luy or obstruct the operation or man
agement of such road. C'olonol Crocker
has more sense than Creed Raymond ,
and sees beyond the limited vision of
the legal warrior. IIo knows well
enough that the state board of equaliza
tion considered that point amply , and
decided that the Southern Pacific could
not bo considered as a federal road ; and
that the Central Pacific by going out
of husinotis iind leasing its road
abandoned any special privileges it
might have derived from its federal
franchise , AVhon the peculiar status of
the ContruX Pacific is considered , it is
plain that , 'wpqnor or later , it will bo
gold by the ytiiied States , and it proba
bly will bo IxMight by the state , in
which case It will pay ho Southern Pa
cific to bo on good terms with its com
petitor.

To sulphur or not to sulphur that is
the question. .Pooplo who buy Cali
fornia upricotff , are unaware that the
excellent condition of the Hun-driod and
evaporated articles is due to n uroeess
culled sulphuring. The fact is that
tlioro is ii moth of small Hlzo called the
miller which is particularly fond of
apricots and has u weakness for laying
its eggs in the drying fruit. Therefore
the [ lacker quietly burusa littlosulphur
in the drying room , and thereby creates
Bullicient sulphuric acid in the atmos
phere to kill thorn before they can lay
any eggs. If ho did not do this each
fruit would contain a little nest of mag
gots. No ono over objected to this , for
no one over knew anything about it ,
and what the eye does not see the heart
does not grieve about. But Prof , Ilildo-
gurd of Berkeley university has been
lecturing about the doubtful character
of the process , and has advanced
the theory that sulphuring makon
the fruit dololorous to the consumer. I
cnimot sco why. If sulphured apricots
I nre Injurious then smoked hams are In-
jnrlpu , and smoked herrings , and
Finnan haddock. All of these derive
i their improvement of flavor from th
' empyroumntic vapors of the smoulder' .
' ing wood , in which they hamr for a con
, smornblo length of time. Jfovv the sul
phuriiigof the apricot is a very shor
! operation , and communicates no flavor
' to the fruit. Prof. Ililirard has simply
| desired to gain a little notoriety by ( i
, pretense of being zealous in the public
1 service , and ho has found a mare's nest.
It is important that this should lit' well
understood because wo have just suc
ceeded in raising some figs of magnifi
cent qunlltv.nnd are upon the threshold
of a dried fruit business that will en-
brace the world in its operations. The
miller is just as fond of figs as of apri
cots , and sulphuring is an absolute ne
cessity. For this success in tigs wo are
indebted to tbo enterprise of the San
Fruiieisi'oUnllutin which excellent paper
sent an agent to Smyrna who examined
the trees of the Elemo district , and
brought back cuttings of the best. They
nre doing admirably and havu proauced
figs of the most wonderful size and
flavor.

Messrs. Hara/.thy , Lamlsharger and
Crabb have been appointed a commit
tee of three to draw up rules for the
government of the wine exchange at
1 Mutt's hall , and will meet for that pur
pose next Saturday. The utmost ex
pectations have boon formed of this in
stitution , not only in this city and
state , but all over the union. Arpad
Harazthy told mo that they wore in re
ceipt of congratulatory letters by the
bushel , and there was evidently a gen
eral wish that a series of bottles should
bo adopted which should bo a trade
mark to prevent the outrageous frauds
of imitation by which California wine
has been so seriously prejudiced. This
will probablv bo adopted , and certain
letters will bo blown in the bottles , con
stituting trade-marks , any infraction of
which will constitute a tort in law , and
will forma basis for a suit for damages.
It is in contemplation to establish a
size for bottles , also , and , in brief , to
create a standard not only for Califor
nia , but for the world. Tin.
