Con IN THE CONSTITUTION.

The Constitution makers in California
are developing a great variety Of novel
schemes in connection with the proposed
fundamental law of their State. The
religious wing Of the Convention, which
we take it is very light, are demanding
that some fitting recognition Of the Su-
preme Being be made in the new Constitu-
ton. Mr.. Wicks, of Nevada county, has
| offered the following
We the people Of the State Of California
declare: That God. being the author Of
order and law, is the final umpire Of all
government; that He delegates authority
to the people to frame, arlend or change
its form, according to their necessities and
the principles Of Justice; that he clothes
them with power to enforce it; that He
holds each and all responsible for the use
and abuse Of such delegated power that,
in this connection, allegiance to God and
to the State are one. Inc upon these fun
damental truths we establish this Consti-
| tuition.
We cannot see that the insertion Of this
declaration would be productive Of either
good or evil No power is conferred by il
on the Legislature to interfere with mat.
ters OF a religious nature. 1t amounts
simply to a declaration Of faith in the ex-
| istence of q God and nothing more.

We must be ~pardoned If we resort to the
.rts of the demagogue this one time. Thu
SENTINEL claims to move on a higher plane
ss : general proposition, but as all things
are esteemed fair in politics, it feels in this
instance like STOPPING to conquer. Inc
truth Is, that on account OF the great I'M
portance Of the contest in a National point
Of view, politically, it is more than solicit
ms for the success Of Mr.. Deal. For this
reason it feels justified in hurting all man
mar a obstacles in the pathway Of Mr..
Daeeett. 1t is justified on still another
ground. Mr.. Daggett is going about the
State claiming to DO the especial champion
az The laboring classes. Let us see to
What extent this claim is supported by the
record.
The typographical Union is an organi-
cation composed Of printers. The objects
Of the society are to maintain a uniform
standard OF wages, after the style Of the
Miners Union. and to promote the general
w~ell-being Of its members. Tho rate Of
wages in Nevada under the rules of the
society had been, for q long series Of
wears, 20 cents per thousand ems.
That this rate would have prevailed
indefinitely but for the interference
Of Mr.. Daggett every printer in the State
drmly believes. Mr.. Daggett had no
sooner succeeded to the management of
the Enterprise last year than he set him
self to work to reduce the wages of the
printers. He asked q reduction to GO
cents per thousand ems. The proposition
involved . long struggle, finally termin-
stipg in . compromise on 65 cents as the
standard. By this act Mr.. Daggett delib-
erstely reduced the wages Of every printer
In Nevada about 30 cents . day. Is fun
Their answer needed to Mr.. Daggett's
boasted championship Of the rights of the
w~orkingmen Of this Coast? What would
be -FOUR verdict, miners, regarding a man
who should attempt to cut down your
wages to So so . day? Printers, like
yourselves, are workingmen. There is not
: harder worked class of men in all the
avocations Of life than compositors and
those who assist them in making news
papers. The advocate Of cheap labor in
one branch Of business, it is fair to pre-
sumo, would extend it to others did the
opportunity offer. We say then that Mr..
Daggstt. the Republican candidate for
Congress, has not shown himself to be the
lFiend Of the laboring classes, and is there
lore not entitled TO their support. What
ether vorkingmen may do, it is a
axed TACT that not one printer in ten in
Nevada will vote for him.

The trial OF Collett for completely in the

There is nothing in the evidence to show
that Collett did any killing. The evidence
for the defense showed that tho corpse,

REPUBLICAN BLuSDEns.

Somebody has said that a mistake in
politics is . crime. II true, there are Re-
publican politicians in Nevada who are to-
day among the greatest criminals of the
age. No set Of men on earth ever got
themselves before the people in worse
shape. The campaign in this State from
It's inception has been one series Of blum
ders. Those whom the gods would destroy
they frst make mad. In their strife and
rivalry for tho spoils, the leaders have not
hesitated to 'sgive away" the true inward
ness Of the Republican party Of this State.
They have themselves admitted, what a
great many people knew before. viz That
The IRepublican party Of Nevada is owned
body and boots by the corporations and
m~onopolists. Take, for instance. the case
Of Mr.. Daggett in connection with his
aspirations for the Gubernatorial nomin-
alton. l. there q man in Nevada who
does not remember how he stated in q card
over his own signature that he had been
crowded out Of the fight by the corpora
tidns? Fairly interpreted. if this
means anything, it means that
the corporations dominate and I'll
~ Republican party. and are therefore in
position to crowd out and crush out ~ a
mans aspirations for one position when
they happen to want him for another.
Then there were the frank and open
statements Of Judge Heeley in the State
Convention. 1t is . part and parcel Of the
history Of that memorable gathering that
the Judge charged repeatedly that the
thirty-nve delegates representing Storey
county were elected and sent hither by Boz
nanza money. Those thirty-fve members
dictated every angle nomination made by
the Convention. 1t therefore follows, as
reasonable and rational deduction, that q
feeling Of close friendship for the bonanzas;
the power that created them the power
that gave them being as candidates, must
permeate and crop out along the whole
ln6 % Vie ticket from Kinkeal for Gov
ernor to Parson Hammond for Schoolmas-
Ter General.
But the most serious blunder Of all was
tha mishap by which the party was made
70 appear = being desirous Of suppressing
Mr.. Wren's Bullion Tax resolution. Al

sion 70 have been accidental, but it il
hardly probable that voters, generally, will

For the Register
a WORD TO MOTHERS.

Each mother is historian. She
writes not the history of empires or of
nations on paper, but she writes her
own history on the imperishable mind
OF her child. That tablet aud that his
tory will remain indelible when time
shall be no more. That history each
mother shall meet again, and read with
eternal JOY or unutterable grief, in the
coming ages of eternity. The thought
should weigh on the mind of every
mother, and render her deeply circum-
spect, prayerful and faithful in her sol
emn word of training up her children
. for heaven and Immortality. The minds
of children are very susceptible, and
easily impressed A word, a look, a
frown, may engrave an impression on
the mind of child, which no lapse OF
time can efface or wash out. You walk
along the sea shore when the tide is
out, and you form characters or write
words or names in the smooth white
sand which is spread ont SO clear and
beautiful at your feet, according as your
fancy may dictate; but the returning
tide shall in few hours wash out and
cfface all that you have written. Not
SO the lines and characters of truth and
error which your conduct imprints on
the mind of your child. There you
write impressions for the everlasting
good or i'll Of your child, which neither
the floods and storms Of the earth can
wash out, nor deaths cold fingers erase,
nor the slow moving ages of eternity
obli,erate. How careful, then, shonld
each mother he in her treatment of her
child! How prayerful and low serious,
and how earnest TO write the eternal
truths which shall be his guide and
teacher when her voice shall be silent
in death, and her lips no longer move
in prayer in biz behalf, in commencing
her dear child to her covenant God.

n@~ Tub RACE-A ludicrous as well
as interesting scene took place on the
river at this town, on Wednesday eve
ming last. in the way of the somewhat
novel sport of club racing" About 4
o'clock in the afternoon, six or seven
young men of our town, in hepresence
of large assemblage of people, got in
to tubs and attempted 10 cross the river
in the same. Messrs. d. L.. Rentch,
Charles Powell aud VIM. Crow, sue
ceeded in crossing to the Maryland side
without upsetting, and Messrs. Powell
and Crow returned to this side without
any mishap, Mr.. Rentch having upset
when about midway the river. The
other contestants, Messrs. r. d. Shep-
herd, +. L. Etchison and j. w. Fay
man, were no: so fortunate as the 9th
ers, but went over early in the action.
The mishaps of the occupants of the
tubs were heartily enjoyed by the spec
tators. Bathing suits were worn by the
parties engaged.
