Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-05-07

From the Phoebe Record of Thurs
day last we extract the following par
~ticulars of the disastrous confagra-
ton visiting that city on the morning
of the 3d inst.:.
The fire. CON menced about 3 O'Clock
In the old unoccupisd hurdy-house on
Lacour street, adjoining the journal
office, the building and lot being
owned by A. b. Barnett. The fire was
first discovered by James w. Murra,
and Charles Noakes, who had Just
completed their nights labor of strik-
ing off the Journal and who we're
engaged in spreading their blankets
preparatory to retiring for the night.
As they were in the act mentioned
above they heard a whizzing noise,
which immediately alarmed them
both. Murry rushed to the real door
of the Office whilst Noakes went to the
front. Murray discovered the rear of
the adjacent building in flames and
shouted as loud as possible giving the
alarm; after which he and Nnakes
run to the house of the Protection Hose
Company, hauled out the carriage
and quickly attached the hose to the
plug. About this time Johnny CULLEN,
carrier of the Record, who was in the
Record office receiving the paper,
which had just been printed for deliv-
airy, heard the alarm, and he managed
to run the Phoebe hose carriage down
TO the scene of the fire all alone, when
a general alarm was sounded and large
numbers OF men arrived shortly to his
aid, and also the Hook and Ladder
Company at the scene, at which time
the fire was spreading rapidly, envel-
oping the hurdy house, Louis Betz's
house, journal office. Mollie Tents
ing house, Mrs. Hlckox's millinery
store, John Lazenby's house occupied
by Freddie Gantt), Protection Hose
house and Orient saloon, on Lacour ST.,
together with Garments blacksmith
shop, A. Browns stable, Sophie Glen
mons house. Cartwright's wheelright
shop, and Walks blacksmith shop, OH
Main street. As the fire began in an
u~noccupied building, and as the noise
heard at its start was evidently made
by coal-oil burning, there is no doubt
at all in the minds OF every one that
the confiagration was the work OF
some vile incendiary, who, if caught,
will not ave much mercy shown him.
A few minutes before the fire occurred
James Murray, who was in the real of
the journal office, heard the steps Of a
man rushing past who had evidently
done the deed. but he thought nothing
of IL at the time, owing to men passing
frequently that way to 20 into some of
the houses in the neighborhood by the
rear entrance.

The Dayton Journal scores the Clymer CON-
mittee beautifully for its partisan partiality,
shown by the difference of its treatment of
Kerr, as compared with that of Belknap.
The truth is, that committee, as well as all
the other investigators, was simply intended
to act as prosecuting committee. Its aim
was to find material somehow for charges
against Republican officials. The drag net
has drawn in a Democratic Sucker for every
Republican one captured-and little over.
To be accurate, five Democratic statesmen
have been bagged to four Republican. This
disheartening result makes it necessary for
Mr.. Clymer's committee to adopt the course
complained of by our Dayton namesake.-O.

The dismissal of Fflzhugh has called atten-
tion to single historical coincidence in the
history of the American Congress. Only two
elective officers have ever been dismissed from
the House. The first was in the Congress just
before the war, when Robert Hackey, of
Virginia, Democratic doorkeeper, was dis
miised on the charge of swindling the pages.
The second was in the first Congress after the
war, in which the Democrats had majority,
when Fitzhugh, also native of Virginia, was
dismissed for stupidity, after having been in
dicted for arson, larceny and perjury. In both
cases the discharged persons were succeed by
Jerseymen.

The Alton, illinois, Telegraph has fun
ny story on Hon. William r. Morrison, Chair
man of the Ways and Means Committee of the
House. No one laughs more heartily over it
than Colonel Morrison, who says it is O true
bill. Judge Baker is Republican, and del
egate at large from Illinois to the Cincinnati
Convention. The story is as follows: "Judge
Fl. S. Baker, of this city, who has always
been personal friend of William R. Morri-
son, relates the following anecdote, which
has so much point that it will be generally
appreciated. In 1857, Morrison, then quite e
young man, was elected Speaker of the Lower
House of the Legislature. During the winter
Judge Baker was in Springfield on business be-
fore the Supreme Court. Meeting the young
Legislstor, one day, Judge Baker said: 'What
sort of Legislature have you got this year,
Morrison? We'll, Hail. was the reply, you
can judge what sort of a Legislature it is that
would elect me Speaker"

MoHAMMED MURAD EFFENDI, who is now
the Sultan of Turkey, was born in September,
1910, and is therefore in the thirty-sixth year
of his age. Little is known as to how he shall
succeed in bringing order out of the confusion
that reigns in Turkey, but things could not be
much worse than they are, and the fact that
the rightful heir to the throne, according to
the law of succession, has been proclaimed
Emperor by the people, augurs well for the
future; still we believe a religious war must
come before long. One thing, however, is
observation-disclosures from different parts of
the Turkish Empire announce that the change
in the government was received with general
satisfaction. The people are no doubt glad
that the oldest son of the dethroned Emperor
could not, according to the present law, sue
osed to the government of the Empire.

The White House Campaign.

The Baltimore American says: The
comparative strength of the different
Presidential candidates who will come
before the Republican National Con-
-vention for nomination has been q
matter for very wide differences of
opinion and for good deal OF looseness
OF speculation. We have never seen
any reason to doubt that Mr.. Blaine
will lead all others from the start, and
that his nomination is almost matter
of certainty. The New York Times,
which has not been favorable to Mr..
Blaine, and in some points, we have
thought, treated him rather unjustly,
seems to be coming to this conclusion
also. In its Tuesdays issue, referring
to the expectation that Illinois would
send a solid delegation of fOrty-two
delegates to Cincinnati favorable to Mr..
Blaine, it says that ''the unexpected
unanimity of this action makes very
material addition to the strength of the
gentleman from Maine. The solid del
egations of five States, counting for
ninety votes, are thus virtually pledg-
ed to Mr.. Blaine; from the other ten
States who have already held cOnven-
tions he is secure of one hundred and
seven votes; three Territories give him
six votes, and as Iowa, Kansas and
Minnesota, aggregating forty-two|
votes, are generally conceded to him,
we find that eighteen States and three
Territories give Mr.. Blainea certain
strength on the first or second ballot OF
two hundred and forty-five- votes.
There really seems to be nothing very
extravagant in the claim made by Mr..
Blaine's friends that he will start with
a strength of nearly three hundred
votes. Those who believe that Mr..
Blaine hardly fulfills the requisites of
the ideal Presidential candidate had
better frankly recognize his undoubte'1
OF course, if history repeats
itself, the strongest candidate on the
opening ballots of Presidential Con-
vention is foredoomed to defeat, but 1t
would hardly be safe at the present
time to trust implicitly to historical
In this latter reference to
the strongest candidate on the early
ballots being generally devoted to de-
feat the Times has got badly mixed up.
Such statement would have some
force applied to Democratic National
Conventions, where, through the two
thirds rule, prominent candidates have
often been killed off; but in Republican
National Conventions the rule and the
have been exactly the OPP
pOsite.

CENTENNIAL ITEMS.

Go TO Mexico, in the main building,
when you go to the Centennial, and
see the 1900 pound lump of silver. 1t
is worth $4,000. You are requested
not to pocket it.
Agricultural Hall affords one of the
best displays of its kind ever scenes
pecially of American products. It Is
the Mecca of the rural visitors.
One of the most beautiful displays
in the Horticultural Hail is the 1,5O0
rhododendrous, with all their innumer.
able hues and varieties, displayed by q
florist of fSurrey, England.
From May Is to October IL there are
to be in Philadelphia no less than 81

national character.
Japan's exhibit at our National Gen.
tennial is much finer than China's,and
is calculated to give Americans very
respectful idea of the capabilities Of
that people.
Many of the largo employing estab-
lishments in Philadelphia have made
arrangements to give their workmen q
day at the Exhibition-some of them
even two without docking wages.
1t is thought that all parts of the Ex-
hibition will be in perfect condition by
the end OF the present week. 1t Is
specially mentioned that Russia's space
Is rapidly filling. Portugal and Tur-
key are making considerable progress.
France has nearly completed her pre-
parations.
The presence of Mr.. Longfellow at
the Centennial Is made the subject in
the Philadelphia Press of general ar
ticle, the writer of which speaks Of
"the poets glorious face framed in the
snow of So winters, yet as fresh as If he
had not outlived the average of vigor-
Gus men," Mr.. Longfellow Is residing
at a delightful summer resort within
20 minutes Of the Centennial grounds.
All things considered, there viii be
no better time to visit the Exhibition
than the first week in June. The
weather Is perfect, the flowers. trees,
and greensward in the grounds aas
looking their best, The city is remar-
kably healthy. Lodgings are compa-
ratively cheap. With the heat. of mid
summer will undoubtedly come o great
crowd Of visitors, for We Americans,
as rule, select the season Of the year
for pleasure trips when travel Is bur-
den rather than q pleasure.

The survey Of the Bellaire and South
Beallsville was finally completed last
Saturday afternoon. The surveying
party started the first of the week at
the foot of the hill east of town and fin
ished the survey up the run on DR..
Armstrong; farm, formerly s. p.
jones', to near the Presbyterian
Church. They then went down Stand
ing Stone run to Keepers school house,
and surveyed from there to Sunfish
creek, down the creek to Piney and up
that run to Beallsville; thence West to
Thomas Nelson's, thence along the
Ozark ridge and down Cedar to Peter
Kuhn's where they connected wi h
the line previously run from Sunfish
creek. They returned from there to
Mr.. Nelson's where they took up the
line and surveyed down Death Fork TO
Sunfish creek, up that stream to Clin-
gan's run and followed that to Woods
field. We presume the route from
here to Beallsville will be decided upon
at the next meeting of the Directors.
Which of the several routes the lOca-
tion will be made upon is something
no one knows at this time; but the
drawings and calculations from the
surveys will be prepared by Chief En-
gineer Robinson Immediately and he
will describe the different routes, point
ing out the advantages and disadvant-
ages of all of them, calculate the cost
per mile on each and then the location
will be decided by the Board Woods
field Spirit 30th.

mine. Ours is the shame, for ours has
been and is the power to cure such
wrong. II lingering paralysis still
desdens our industries and checks our
reviving trade and commerce, then
with US, the people, rests large share oil
blame, for we have not insisted that in
National affairs the same laws of com.
mon honesty should prevail that rule
in our daily dealings between man and
man.
flour methods of the public civil SER
uice still continue to be helps to parti-
san control rather than means for the
prompt, economical and efficient per-
formance of public duty, it is simply
and mainly because we, the people,
have either deliberately preferred that
this should be so, or have indolently
neglected practical efforts towards es-
tablisbing the civil service upon the
ordinary business principles and usages
of the factory and the counting reOm.
Whenever we, the people, pledge our
candidates fer Congress and the Senate
to neither ask nor recommend appoint
ments, and whenever we, the people,
ourselves cease to torment our repre-
sentatives and senators to secure posi-
tions for US, they will naturally aban-
don any anxious attempts to control
official patronage. But so long as we,
the people, insist upon being rewarded
by political place for our political SER
vice, ] fear that we shall mot change
the system which we ourselves practi-
cally insist upon perpetuating. Trees
usually grow from the roots up; and not
from the top downward.
Any failure to have good government
under our system is as much our fault
as that of our rulers. Nay, tits main
ly our fault. For with us lies the final
power. When we deliberately resolve,
they must either execute our purpose,
or give place to such as will.
This is the lesson would press home
this day upon each brain and con.
science-the personal performance by
each citizen of his Individual duty to
the State.
. We stand in the Centennial time of
the Republic. The good deeds, the
brave deeds OF many true men have
made this year possible. Broad and
full harvest fields lie before before us.
Are we wise enough, faithful enough,
unselfish enough to cross the river and
enter the promised land?
To us, to all, these dead speak as liv-
ing man may not. Let US heed their
teaching. Let US here and now, as at
altars of sacrifice, dedicate ourselves
anew to the duties of our citizenship.
Thus shall we turn back to our daily
living. better, more hopeful, more res
olute because we have been here to
scatter these flowers upon the graves
where our comrades sleep.
