AMERICAN COMMUNISM.


The New York Herald Of the nth
gives further reports of movements,
projects and programmes for the
overthrow Of everything by the
workingmen, more or less organ
lied as labor leagues or communis-
tic societies. In its edirOrial the
Herald says of this movement:
lt Is q queer medley OF fume and
folly, and indicates what a bedlam
these reformers would make OF the
world we live In. There IL a GLIMPSE
of reason and intelligence here and
there. Thus French Communist
says: 1.-THE Americans rs rule do
not understand the social question:
and are consequently not friendly
to this phase of reform. This trib-
ute TO the good sense and love OF
order of American wOrkingmen Is
as sincere and Just as II il uncon-
scious and unintentional. An the
noise on this subject is made by
men from foreign lands, who have
not yet discovered any wOrthfer
vocation in the new country. and
the major part OF them are not even
naturalized as citizens. This fer
mentation of the loose and diseon-
tented elements is a trouble In all
countries. No country where men
are in any respect free toact on their
own vOlitiOns is without class OF
idle and lazy vagabonds, who at
tribute TO defective organization OF
society that wretchedness and pow
erty that is the consequence Of their
own misconduct, and who are ready
to better their condition by any and
every method rather than that OF
honest industry. England has a
plentiful crop of these fellows, and
the taxpayers are regularly out
about thirty million dollars q year
to support them. In France they
cultivate revolution, and once in
twenty years upset the government.
In this country they have made a
great noise only within recent years,
and recognize that they have here
no good hold on public attention.
But in the words of one Of their
they propose a fOrcibIe and
violent seizure Of the government
and revolution. They propose TO
put down thirty millions with few
thousands; as the Irish soldier did
with his ten prisoners, they are go-
ng to surround us.

MIR. join WELSH, United States
Minister to England, and Bayard
Taylor, United States Minister to
Germany, seem te have been very
shabbily treated at the opening of
the Paris Exposition. Mr.. q. w.
Smalley, writing to the New York
Tribune, says: "Our envoy here,
Gov. Noycs, made an application in
behalfOf his colleagues-Or, perhaps,
! should say, informed the French
Minister Of theirpresence, expecting
and presuming that place would
be assigned them with the resident
foreign diplomatists, for whom a
special tribune had been set apart.
Not at ali. Gov. NOyes received an
answer that the places were all
filled. The French had counted
heads, and found that the diplomatic
pen was already as full as Il could
hold. There was a room for the
Second Secretary Of Legation Of
Chill, but no room for the Minister
PlenipOtentiaries of the United
States"

The amiable and venerable Peter
Cooper has issued another of his PERI
odical manifestoes, in which he pre-
scribes for the afflicted condition OF the
country. In the opinion of the aged
philanthropist the true policy is to
build two or three Pacific railroads u
a lot of canals and other ''improve-
ments," a policy which is exceedingly
popular among a class of persons VINO
earn their bread by the sweat of other
mems brows.-NeW York Herald.
Yes, and Peter Cooper is about right
about it. The Eastern press never
have a word to say against river and
harbor appropriation devoted o carry-
ing IN operations in that portion OF
the Union, but the moment a dollar OF
Federal money is to be expend-
ed in any undertaking that
will benefit the Far West, prompt
objection is made. Nevada contributes
her quota towards the support OF the
Federal Government, and when we
ask hat a reasonable portion OF the
public moneys lie expended on i'm
provements calculated to promote her
welfare, a strong protest is sure to go
up from the East. Stranger still. there
are men among us, citizens of Nevada,
who are every ready to join in the anti
subsidy cry. They never have a word
to say about our money being expend.
ed in a thousand ways to help the old
States, but whenever you talk of aiding
an opposition railroad which would
benefit the whole Coast they jump stiff
legged. Strange, is it not?

IT is a noticeable fact that of the
nineteen Senators who voted to sus-
tain the Presidents veto of the Silver
bill, .two-thirds are either very rich
men themselves, or the representa-
tives of incorporated capital. Barnum
is one OF the wealthiest manufactur-
ers Of Connecticut. Dawes and Hoar
are, of course, ruled by the manufac-
turers and capitalists of Massachu
sets, as are Conkling and Herman by
the bankers OF New York. Randolph
is q railroad millionaire of New Jer-
sey, while Rolling is, or was, Treas
urer of the Union Pacific. Morrill, is
a heavy owner of Government bonds,
and the whole Bayard family are rich.
1t is perhaps wrong to accuse these
Senators of self-seeking. but the fact is
a singular one, nevertheless. that all
should array themselves on the side of
incorporated wealth, as against oopu-
lar opinion and demand.

AT Reno, last Saturday, Governor
Bradley publicly acknowledged that
he is q seeker of the G~ubernatorial
nomination for a third term. With us,
there is nothing new in the announce
ment. He has been a candidate since
the moment he vetoed the Bullion Tax
bill last winter. He vas on the fence
some days about that bill, but when
the boys began to shove the third term
business at him they fetched him. He
was told that he would make a jack
son of himself. and nothing on earth
could prevent his occupying the Exec
utive chair another term. Then he
said: "My sons, write ont the message
and TIL boss 'em." For all the money
in the world, this is how it happened.

JOHN F. SWIFT made a big fight and
got elected to the Legislature from a
San Francisco district as ar INDIE
pendent reformer. The papers said
he would bring the Spring Valley
Water Company to time, and the peo-
pie rejoiced and said great is Swift.
But Swift didn't fill public expectation.
The water company got off with a
very tender sort of water rate, and
Swift didn't try very hard to prevent
it. The true inwardness of Swift's
mission. however, has just cropped
out. A bill passed the Assembly the
other day allowing him $25, 900 out of
the City's Treasury, for his efforts on
behalf of the people in the water war
last summer. This settles it. There
is no mistake about Swift being a re-
former OF the first magnitude.

EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.
A DECLARED.

In due and legal form, a vacancy
was yesterday declared in the Board of
County Commissioners of this county.
The order in the premises appears in
the proceedings of the Board, published
elsewhere ia this issue of the SENTINEL.
The way is now clear for the Governor
to fill the vacancy by appointments.
Applicants are numerous, and he can
hardly go astray in selecting a suitable
person for the position. But this is not
the question which is supposed to dis
turb the Executive mind. How to
strengthen his chances in Eureka
county for the nomination for a third
term, is the point which concerns him
most directly. We hope, for the dig
nifty of his high office, that the state
ment of a Carson correspondent to the
effect that Governor Bradley has left
the State to avoid the responsibility of
filling the vacancy, is not true. The
Governor passed over the mountains
Saturday night, and our correspond
ent, who is posted and knows all about
the true inwardness of matters at the
Capital, says it was prearranged that
he should slide out of the State in
order to dodge this appointment.
If this be true, the duty will
devolve upon Lieutenant Governor
Adams; unless he too, should be
seized with a sudden desire to visit his
uncle in Alaska; in which event, our
baggage will be instantly checked for
the wilds of McGarry. But no matter
how much these gentlemen atthe Cap
ital may desire to dodge and trim, they
W it to the people of this county to
act promptly in supplying the vacancy
in our Board. In a spirit of commend
able fairness, several important mat
ters are held in allegiance by the other
members until this vacancy shall have
been filled. Among other things. the
tax levy for the current year is to be
considered and determined at an early
day. There may be a difference of
opinion as to what the rate should be,
and it is proper that all parties be rep.
resented. Give us a Commissioner,
Governor Adams, just as though there
was to be no election this fall, that the
business of our county may proceed
uninterruptedly in the usual channels.
Brace up and show the Base Rangers
what a man of back bone you are.
You can easily make terms with the
76O who shall be disappointed, by as
signing them to duty on Captain Hub
bard's staff, along with the veterans Of
the White Pine Indian war.

seven to six to report favorably "A bill

The bill made the basis of the commit
tees bill is that introduced by AleXan
der Stephens, which is n of the most
moderate of bills. The proposed ac-
ton of the committee excltes but little
interest, from the belief that nothing
will be done. The committee can not
report for some time, since there are
more than three committees to be
called before it is reached, and a month,
perhaps two, will be consumed before
the bill can be brought intothe House.
A. resolution has been prepared to be
presented in the House to day, if the
author can get the floor, calling upon
the President to inform the House if
any convicted felon is now holding
any office of profit or trust under the
United States Government. This, of
course, refers to Anderson, of the Lou
isiana Returning Board, who is now
Acting Controller of the port of New
Orleans. 1t requires two-thirds to
suspend the rules and pass this resolu
ton. The Republicans will, of course,
