THE County HospitaL.—We pubWe
believe that under the regulations women are not admitted to the County
Hospital. This is also wrong. The
present building is kept wall filled, and
if other classes are admitted it will be
necessary to make additional accommodations. The County Hospi‘al should
be opened to all who are sick and des.
titute. The rules for the-admission of
the County Physician has no authority
so faras the admission of patients is
order of the Supervisor for the District
from which they come, and the Super~
visors have no right to make an order
for the admission of others than the
classes provided .for.

one of a higher grade than they now

To NEVADA CANDIDATES.—All cans
didates for nominations are requested
to call at the office of the Secretary of
the County Central Committee and
place their notices upon file, on or before Saturday, as required by tl regu.
lations adopted by the County Union
Central Committee.

THanks.—We are indebted to the
Pacific Uuion Express Company, G. W3 agents;
Novada papers in advance of the distribution of the mails,

. His own people are “taking care of him,
‘the County Hospital? Don’t they pay
by his own” “people, aot
great need uf help from the ¢ou
as far as food is concerned, besides giv=
ing him Chinese drugs, but now they
ina terrible condition. All that the
. Chinaman-asked was a doctor and medical care, so the writer of these lines
called on the. County Physician, Dr.
Hunt, to have the Chinaman taken to
the County Hospital, the only place
where he could. be cared for, but was
told that there is an order in force,passed by a former board of Supervisors,
forbidding ,the admission to the hospital of Chinese patients. Dr.~diunt,
however, visited the sick Chinaman
and gave him medicine.
Now, Mr. Editor, let me add. a few
remarks: Is it so that in the Christian
county of Nevada, foremost among all
others in public charities, the Hospital
is closed to a poor, sick Chinaman? Is
this Christian philanthropy and worthy
of our people? Great interest has been
showed andmuch attention paid of
late to. our Chinese population, their
welfare and morals. A Chinese school
has been started, and an experiment is
being mado in our midst to have these
heathens converted to the Saviour, and
inculcate the doctrine of charity and
fraternity. This is all very well, but
would it not be better and more consistent to practice charity first and then
preach it? to attend to the body before
attending to the soul.saving the former.
before trying to save the latter? This
isa question to be decided by our Christian philanthropists.
Then why not admit Chinamen to
taxes for claiming that privilege? If
our white sick, who are supported at
the expense of Chinese as well of white
tax payers, object to having Chinese
patients among them, have the latter
put in a separate room,but for charity's
‘sake, admit them to our public,common
hospital. .
I sheuld thiak, Mr. Editor,that something ought to be done, not only in the
present case, but for subsequent ones,
Let our Board of Supervisors see that
such an inhuman and anti-Christian
order be repealed, and that patients, of
whatever race, color, nationality: or
creed, be freely admitted to an institution they are all alike called to support
with their money. ;
In the meantime what shall be done
with the almost dying Chinaman ? The
Benevolent Society cannot do much in
his cause ; but the best thing that can
be done,. think, is to have him taken to
the County Hospital. I hope, anyhow,
that sémething will be done. by our
humane and charitable citizens.
CHARITY.
TuHE ScHoo. ELecTion.—An election
will be held at the Public School House
in this city, to-morrow, to choose a
School Trustee,and also to decide whetherthe people will tax themselves to
pay the debt upon the building. John
W. Hinds is spoken of by the friends of
the School as Trustee. The following
good reasons for voting the tax are. offered by the Trustees:
The amount of the present debt is in
round numbers about $5,600. This
debt is bearing interest at 1 1-4 per cént
per month—which is $70 per month for
interest. This amount paid for interest
would nearly or quite pay for another
teacher. Many thought that we were
building too extensively while the
crowded state of our Schools show the
reverse of this to be true. How shall
thedebt be paid? for paid it must be.
We propose to pay it by a tax levied
upon the property in this District; for
in this way alone can we see fairness
and an immediate prospect of really
“Free Schools.” If not paid by a tax up-on property it must be by a tax upon!
parents in f rm of rate bills for at least
the three comiing years. “It paid at once
by a tax upon the property of the District our Schools at once become in rex
ality, asin name, what they sliould be
—Fryee. We are convinced that the
interest of both parents and pupils, will
be advanced. by the tax, that the value
of property maintained by. it, and we
1 trust that all the voters of the District
