TRIBUTE or REsPEcT. Both houses Of

INDEPENDENT AND IMPRRSONAL
JOURNALISlE.

When man takes position that he owes
nothing to religion, society, OF to the delib-
crate judgment of those who arc striving
for the re-establishment of good government
We feel assured that he has entered upon a
devious and dangerous pathway, involving
the ultimate wreck of fortune and charac-
ter. Independent journalism means that
the newspaper that expresses such senti-
ment does not appreciate tsc real condition
Of the country, or it is bid for price It
at once lays them under the ban Of suspi-
cion, and experience has taught our people
that these suspicious Are not in-gronnded
Impersonal journalism is akin to it. When
it is resorted to, it is for the purpose of
evading responsibility.
The press is awakening to this subject,
and We are gratifed they are treating it as
ii merits. It is only those newspapers Of
doubtful prOpriety and principle, who are
what is yulgarly denominated on ''the
make, who favor independent and inn
personal journalism"
The Waco Esamiaer after paying rs q
high compliment for a recent article
On this subject says: ssThis must be
the ground taken by every fair, honest,
candid man, who has devoted moments
thought to the subject. We thank our CO.

ABOUT | o'clock SATURDAY morning,
Jacob Becker. proprietor of the Pio-
neer Bakery. Gold Hill. VAS standing
on the sidewalk in front of his place OF
business. when Il fellow who had been
making himself rather friendly and
familiar. suddenly and d~eXterou>ly
slipped Il gold watch and chain, worth
$50, from Mr.. Bcckcr'S vest pocket.
and was out of sight around the corner
directly. Mr.. Becker, not being good
on a long race, did not succeed in
catching the scamp. but officer Rodg-
ers being notified OF the robbery.
shrewdly concluded, from the de-
Scription and Whcr circumstances,
that he knew who the robbcr
was who did it. Accordingly, about =
o'clock that afternoon, he got out a
warrant and arrested u man known
As "~Sluc,king Tom." from his pcu-
liar voice, aud took him To- the County
Jail for safe keeping. on his return
to cold Hill he found witnesses who
said they saw Tom commit the rob-
berry. therefore he felt sure he had got
the right man. "Suneakiny Tom is
said to be recently arrived from Toano.
At about > o'clock yesterday II fire

donna mine, Knocking down and badly
scorching Charles tiornIan and another
man by the name nj Mitchell. The
burns were principally upon the head
II front portion ot their bodies. Ii is

TME BILL.

The SENTINEL took occasion some
days ago TO d~eprecate the action Of the
Democratic members Il Congress IN
opposing the McCrarv bill for the
regulation of Interstate commerce.
Since that time we have seen m an
Eastern exchange an explanation of the
course pursued by the Democratic side
of the House with reference 10 this
vital question.
The MeCrarv bill provides for the
appointment Of a commission 10y the
President, whose duty it shall be in.
vestiga;e railway charges on all inter-
state roads. and adjust the fares and
freights on u uniform and equitable
basis. This VAS the feature 10 which
the Democrats objected. They claimed
that President Grant is identified with
the moneyed interests of the country.
including the powerful railroad corpor-
atoms and rings. and that he would. in
all human probability, construct the
commission out of material favorable
10 the railways. In other words. that
the passage of the McCrary bill SIM
PLY amounted to no legislation what
ever on the subject. Accepting as true
this explanation of their conduct. they
are placed in a little better light before
the people of the United States. Vet
their course i not wholly satisfactory,
When it became apparent tina, all
other measures must fail, they should
have al leas. manifested a willingness
TO give the McCary bill a fair trial.
If President Grant should elect 10 play
into the hands Of the monopcli>ts to
the injury of the people. why let him
do it; the sin in that ease would rest
on his own head.

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES..

The l1oclle Recor1 QeNoteS an article
of considerable length to the a>pirant>
FIR Senatorial honors in this State; that
is, it discusses the hos prominent of
the Republican candidates. OF those
SO far mentioned, the Record shows a
decided preference for Mr.. Sharon.
That our readers may know the views
Of this mouthriece of the people of
Lincoln county, we reproduce the fol-
iowing:
De Long has had some Severe and
well contested fights for the position
of Senator from Nevada. but SO ia, has
got worSted. which we must say did
not cau>e us any sorrow; because
though he made Il good Minister to Ja-
pan, We doubt whether he would have
been a success as a Senator. We want
in the present instance a MAJ of more
weight. a little more stamina. a man
that has a stake i'll the country. This
~carpet-bag arrangement will not do.
Candidates should do Somethil &
than visit their constituents a te~ days
or weeks; they should have some
binding material interests which will
ally them with those they represent.
We doubt whether De Long has or
ever had this binding tie. He is here.
Il ere and everywhere. There is no
telling where he will ali.ht. With one
of his principal opponents. VIM.
Sharon. the case Is different. He

ing interest in the mineral interests OF
the State. and if only for self-interc>t,
he would Immediately do his best 10
defend the rights OF the Nevada
miners, because i'll theirs would be III
volved his own. As To Stewart. he is Il
dead duck. He is simply an attorney
for the Central Pacific. and he has built
a palace in Washington. He had bet
ter stay there. and not ask the tough
armed. horny-handed miners Of Ne
vadu to rc->eat him in a position of
trust which he only holds to betrav.
We want Il man 10 represent Nevada.
and not il railroad. Ii the people COIN
eide in this view at the polls, we doubt
whether either Stewart or De Long
would have much of a chance, though
il must be remembered that on the
railroad question De Long has not
committed himself. lie probably
wants to find out how the current of
public opinion is going before he
makes any declaration. But putting
all that one side, there can he no ques-
ton that the next senator from Neva-
da ought 10 be allied with and interest
I'd i'll the great mining enterprises OF
the State. Then he will defend its i'll
terests. hinder unwi>e legislation. and
advocate a mode OF dealing with tie
public mineral lands of the United
states which will protect unimpaired
the interests of the hardy pioneer and
prospector. This is the man We want
for Nevada.
