SHALL WE HAVE 4 CITY GOV.
ERNMENG:

Is it desirable that Eureka should
don the habilirnents of a regularly or
ganized city? This is a question that
ought TO be seriously considered by
business men and taxpayers. The
general town law has been tried and
of the question last summer, many OF
our leading citizens expressed them
selves in favor of a cheap chartered
city government, something after the
style. in operation III Austin, Hamilton
and other unpretentious places.
In view OF the early completion Of
highly probable that our populationwill
be greatly augmented, perhaps doubled
within the nex year, rendering it alb
solutely imperative thai our police
regulations should be SO changed and
extentel As 10 meet the requirements
of the new order of things almost GER
tain to he inauIura;ed.
The Legislature meets at Carson next
month. and we have reason to know
that this is a matter in which our rep
re~sentatives would not care to move
unless in compliance with the ex-
pressed wish of those to be affected bT
a city organization. If, therefore,
the people of Eureka desire to have our
growing town incorporated, it is
proper that they should take the
initiatory steps themselves. Let a
public meeting be called a., which the
subject shall be fully discussed and
determined. Ii the decision be iavora-
ole L incorporation, then let a cOtn-
nsittee be appointed To draft a charter
that will meet the approval of those
chiefly concerned, so guarded and
he'd ged about with economical restric-
ton that extravaganza in the admins
tration of the government will be an
impossibility. There can be no doubt
that q measure SO framed and pre-
sented would 60 through both branoh-
es Of the Legislature without a dissent
ing voice. Communications pro or
con. will be cheertulIy accorded space
in the columns OF the SENTINEL. Let
rs have your views, gentlemen, in or
der that our delegation may know
something Of your wishes in the prem
ises.

some Modern sayings.
BY N. QUAD.

Honesty is the best policy" unless you can
get about s5OUOO and effect settlement at 90
per cent.
Let your motto be, Liberty or Death" and if
it comes to the pinch take the most OF it 10
liberty.
Honor thy father and thy mother, particularly
about circus time, when you don't know where
to raise fifty cents.
Never run in debt when you can avoid it. 1t
is much better to go stubbing around in broad
cloth coat than to be in debt for suit Of Scotch
mixed.
Love thy neighbOr as thyself Borrow bis pillow,
hoe or horses whenever you can, bat if be wants
TO borrow yours tell him that you're very sorry
bat you were just going to use them yourself.
Be guarded in your conversation. There are
times when you way freely express your opinion
OF political candidate. bot you had better wait
until his friends are over IN the next county
visiting.
Respect old age If you have maiden aunt
forty years old, aud she is passing herself of for
girl Of twenty-lhree. there Is no call for you to
expose her. The more you respect her age and
keep still about it the she will respect you.
Never marry for wealth, but remember that it
is just as easy to love girl who has brick
house with mansard roof aud silver-piated
door-be as one who hasn't anything but an au-
burn head and an amiable disposition.
Remember that appearances are often deceiv-
Ing. Many pale, thin young lady will eat more
cOrned beef than carpenter. Because you find
her playing the piano in the parlor, it is no sign
that her mother is not at the corner grocery run.

Rise with the lark. That is during cold wealth
err as soon as the lark rises, waken your wife aud

A single Vote Of Greal Importance.

One vote in the city Of New York returned

William Allen, in the Chillicothe District, to
Congress in the year 1884. and one vote subse-
uuenlly made him United States Senator for SIX
years afterwards. The following case OF the kind
