THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

We always like to hear from

portant occurrences. He has an orig
inal way of putting things which Is
truly refreshing. Here is what he has
to say of the Democratic aspirants Tor
Senatorial honors in the Golden State :
The Democratic caucuS-vain. world
" and wicked thing that it waS-ma-
turcd its ~depravitics by naming the
name of James Farley as its candidate
for the long term and Judge lla9cr for
the short term Scholarships. James
FARLEY was born of poor but respect
able parentage of Irish descent in \Ir-
ginia, somewhere about the birth of the
Missouri compromise and the adnlls-
sion of the State of Maine into the
Union. James is of a genial nature
and chambers his potables with grace
and serenity and carries them with
credit to himself and at the bar. His
game of poker is eNtraNa9ant and gen
tlcmanlike. and is of that antique
mould which recognizes Us valid the
superior claims of a straight flush as
against four aces. Hecarrie> the tradi-
tional badge of Southern dignity, Il

the equivocal luxury of Il public, bar

than as a perniciouS and stomach-suS-

thoroughly entitled to that oracular
compliment so characteristic of our dc-
luded Southern brethren: "lle is clev-
err gentleman. sah," and being an cx-
perienced and s~elf-contained politician
with agreeable manners, will do very
well. for a Democrat, if elected. As to

NOTHING IN IT.-The RcrciIie says
Lander holds about $1,000 worth of
tickets i'll the Nevada Lottery, and adj
viSes those interested to club together
and bring suit for the recovery of the
money. There is nothing i'll it. The

the swindle to file a bond, to

but we understand that the document
is not worlh the paper on which it is

second ballot was taken with the same
result. 4 shotgun vote was also had
on the short term"
The latter. we infer, was badly seat
tered. Governor Booth appears to be
gaining, while the other candidates for
the lCng term are losing strength. We
look for the Governors triumphant
election to-day. If it is possible to
elect him, his friends will hardly risk
the chances of an adjournment over
sunday. The Governor has the inside
track, and they will endeavor to keep
the ball moving while he occupies the
vantage ground. For this reason. we
anticipate an election to-day.

LACK OF MORAL COURAGE.

Commenting on the case of Dan.
Matheney, the Reno state Journal has
the following:
The action of Governor Bradley. in
committing the sentence of the boy

hanged i'll Hamilton, Nevada, next
Friday, for the murder of Green, mean

be generally commended. Whether OF
no the Governor was prompted in the
action by a LACK of moral courage"
we leave our readers to Judge. The
particulars of this tiendish and
brutal murder are still fresh in the
minds of the people, and it was not a
case in which there was a shadow of a
show for the exercise of the Governors
constitutional prerOgative. The mar
Hall, who was executed at Belmont
not long since, was more entitled
to Executive clemency than was
this boy murderer Matheney. Crime
is becoming too frequent, and
those who break the laws of the land
should be made TO suffer the extreme
penalty Of the law, which, as Govern
or Dix, of New York. saws, should
vindicate itself. Laws are not made so
much for the purpose of furnishing
crime as they are for preventing its
commission, and let it once become
generally known that a murderer shall

THE FIRE AT DAYTON-FIVE HUMAN
BEINGS ROASTED ALIVE.

The telegraph has already informed
the readers of the SENTINEL of the
terrible calamity at Dayton, in this
State. The following additional par
ticulars are furnished by the Virginia
Chronicle of the 18th inst:
Between midnight and | o'clock this
morning fire broke out in the kitchen
of the Dayton House, on Pike street,
near Main, in the town of DAYTON. and
soon consumed the building and its
contents, including four mel and a lad
who were sleeping i'll the second story.
1t is not known how the fire origin
ated, some believing it to have been
accidental, and others holding the sus-
picion that it was the work of an in
cendiary. a Chinese waSh-hOuse hard
by was also destroyed before the flames
could be quenched. Following is a list
OF the names of the persons burned to
death:
Hiram Nash, II of the ~lessees and
Keepers OF the hotel, "a native of Maine.
aged about IS Years. He was an old
resident OF Dayton, a single man, and
had been for some Years i'll the grocery
business.
John Norton, a native of Ireland,
aged 80 Years and SINGLE. lie was a
millman, and had been working in the
Franklin mill on the Carson river
above Dayton prior to the shutting
down of the mill.

that this man passed through Silver

RAILROAD TAXES.

Abiding to the recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
relative 10 the right of the States to
icvv and collect taxes from railroads,
the RcrciUc says:
Bv many of the counties of this
Subsequently, the eastern-compro-
misses have been made with the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad Co.. by which the
property of that corporation has been
assessed at Il figure far below its actual
value. The counties have been and
are poor, and. on account of the en-
penSe. have been afraid to become III
volved in litigation with this powerful
monopoly; but now, with this decision
as a precedent, there is hope that the
railroad will he forced to pay taxes on
an equality with poor people.
In all of which we heartily concur.
There need be no hositancv about tax
ing railroad property at its full value
in the future. The utmost the railroad
managers can do is to take their tax
suits to the supreme Court of the
State, and with the precedent eStab-
li<hed by the highest tribunal in the
land it requires no prophet to f~oretell
the result. In fact. the two late deci-
sions of the Supreme Court of the
United States refers the whole rail-
road question, including taxation and
the regulation of fares and freightS, to
the several States for control. If the
people who are interested are not capa-
BILE of managing the subject, they will
have nobody to blame but themselves.

Borden Shaft Mechanical
Natural Locality Considered.

The arrangements in Borden Shaft
for winter ventilation are all that can
be desired, but for summer ventilation
the facilities are not so good.
The Air Shaft lies about half mile
west of the Pit from which the coal is
hoisted. The latter being trife low
er than the former, the difference in
elevation would not produce natu-
raj current of air more powerful in
winter than summer
The superiority of winter venti}a-
ton in the Shaft may be attributed to
the eastern slope OF Savage mountain
which the oblique rays of the winter s
sun strike, causing the air to rush in
that direction.
For summer ventilation, this locali-
ty is too flat to concentrate the verti-
cal rays of the summers sun in one
point much more than another That
is, from the difference of temperature
at the heads of the respective Shafts
a current of air of sufficient velocity
to meet the demand could not be pro-
duced
TO supply the Shaft with the requi-
site quantity of air during the summer
months mechanical ventilation must
be resorted to- but care must be ia
ken that the natural and mechanical
forces do not work in contrary direc-
tions, otherwise a furnace, or other
mechanical means, might be instru-
mental in producing more harm than
good.
The most suitable place to have a
shaft for Mechanical ventilation in
summer would be the lowest point,
or where the sun rays would come to
a focus.
A current of air to be used with
economy and advantage should not
have access to those parts Of the mine
not in use.
When the current is towards the
dip, arrangements should be made to
conduct it through all parts of the
rise before it reaches its destination
When the current is reversed, itshould
be carried through all parts of the
dip before it reaches the rise. But in
either case it will be necessary to car
ry the air as close to the miner in the
dip as to the miner in the rise, because
the air in obedience to the laws OF
gravitation will seek the lowest point
