FROM A HOME STANDPOINT.

4 writer from Virginia to the New
York Nation, doubtless, represents the
better sentiment OF the people of that
State upon the present inconsistent at.
titude OF the Republican Senate, as well
as their view OF the alliance with
Malone in its relation to Virginia poll
tics. ali is too late" ne says, "to ask
the Republican party, and especially the
present administration, not to weaken
the hands and the courage OF the Nir-
ginians who are trying to save the State
from the disgrace of reputation. The
outlook for the State in point Of
material development has not been
so hopeful at any time since the
war. The race troubles, never great,
are all settling SO amicably that
even the Tribune correspondent, who
has just passed through the State, on
tour of inspection, can see little to find
fault with. 1t is known that the decent
men of both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties have striven earnestly to
effect a settlement OF the debt that
would be honorable to the State and just
to the creditors. 1t is equally well
known that Gen. MALONE has organized
the ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS
OF both parties and led them
in a shameful crusade upon the
honor and credit OF the Estate. On
honor, it won't buy breakfast, one OF
their cherished and app!auding senti-
ments, will illustrate, better than any
thing | could say, the character OF this
coalition. Does Gen. GARFIELD propose
to strengthen it by giving it the pa
tronsge of the State? As BAYARD
Democrat, and constant reader OF the
Nation, have been disposed, much often
er than j have had the opportunity, to
welcome any liberal tendency in the
Democratic party. But to speak of such
a thing in connection with Gen. Ma
HONE sounds TO me like the baldest sort
OF a farce"

lMMIRRATION.

The quality Of the immigrants now
seeking homes in this country is becom-
ing quite as important sn inquiry as the
quantity. The immigration fever is
extending all over Europe. From Ger
many there il a grand exodus. The
condition OF things in Ireland warrants
the expectation that the natives Of that
oppressed country will come TO America
in swarms # they can procure the
means.
Heretofore We have not been fastidi-
Gus about the character of the foreign
population ilocking to our shores. 1t is
a little surPrisin; that our prisons and
asylums have not been severely taxed
10 provide Tor them. The investigations
at the port OF New York disclose some
facts in this connection that have in-
6uced the authorities to exercise little
more care about the condition and
character Of the immigrant and to put
some restrictions upon certain classes.
We have big country but there Is not
room enough to hide away all the
menGicants ard criminals OF other
countries, without Inconvenience, ii not
peril, 10 the thrifty and peaceable classes
Of society.
Our own State has been fortunate
thus far in attracting the most select OF
all the classes Of immigrants coming to
America, the Swiss. They are ciannish
enough too, TO warrant the expectation
that having formed a nucleus for the
settlement Of their people among US.
they will continue to come, and eonsti-
tute the chief part OF our foreign popu-
lstion. So long as immigration to West
Virginia is confined to the Swiss, it
will scarcely be worth while to exercise
any supervision over the condition or
character OF the immigrants.

SPRING.

The almanac calls it Spring. We pre-
fer TO call it prospective Spring. IL
would take more than one blue bird to
convince us that Spring has come.
Although the sky is Frightening up and
the sun managed yesterday TO pierce
the frosty mist, the weather vanes still
point to the north and our confidence Is
little shaken in any theory that adopts
this blood chilling atmosphere as
Spring breeze. We have been on TIE
point of falling in with the notion tn I
history is about to repeat itself in giving
us a sample OF that season which the
"oldest inhabitant" talks about when
winter fingered and loitered around
through all the summer season.
But there is much to encourage our
belief in prospective Spring. We recall
all the old proverbs which are associated
with a late Spring. There are 10 nip
ping frosts, no blasting of the fruits, no
alternate freezing and thawing when
once the warm side OF dilatory Spring
i, turned right side up. 1t comes to
stay. 1t is an augury OF fruitful sea-
son. And we remember how we waited
and prophesied dark things only year
ago on the eve OF the most productive
season OF decade.
We can be little patient then, with
our prospectre Spring. 1t 3 coming. The
backbone OF the winter has been stitfsnd
hard. but it can't crook itself detiantly
after this fashion forever. True, it is
still covered with six feet or more OF snow
in some parts of the country,
but soon the genial rays OF the sun and
the balmy breezes fom the South will
melt their way to the monster, while
the grass and the flowers will clothe the
face OF the earth with beauty. the green
foliage will decorate the groves and the
forests, and the birds will sing again
their good old songs, while the flies Will
buzz and the mosquitoes bite with all
the greediness OF yore.

AN EVENT.

The absorbing news of the past few
days has rather obscured an important
event to the commercial world. The new
Welland Canal, connecting Lakes Erie
and Ontario, has just been completed at
a cost of $l3, 900, 000.. and an American
steamer was towed through on the 18th.
The canal is 274 miles long. The old
canal. completed in 1929. gradually be-
came too small to accommodate the crafts
passing through it, and in 1850 its depth
and width was increased, making it nav
igable for vessels carrying 600 tons. The
Dominion Government, anxious to divert
the grain trade into the st. Lawrence,
decided in 1870 to still further increase
the capacity of the canal and to slightly
change its course, and the work begun in
1870 has been finished n year ahead of
the time expected.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-The whaling
schooner R. B. Handy, Captain Winants,
has arrived from the Arctic. Most of her
news has been anticipated by previous ad-
vices. There is nothing from the jean
nette. Captain Winants advances the
opinion that the Jeanette has sought the
northeastern passage, and that perhaps the
wrecked ship recently reported by the
natives, far to the eastward, near the
mouth of the Mackenzie River, may be
the Jeanette. The season has been open
but very stormy.
A Tucson dispatch to the Citizen has
the following from Wilcox: The Chirica-
hua Indians broke out last night. Several
Indians say they went to the south. The
people of Wilcox have been notified to look
out for them.

VIRGINIA, September 30.-Crosscut No.
4 of the Sierra Nevada was this morning
into the vein about 8 feet. Two samples
taken across the face assay S14.2 5 and SIS. %.
A story was started here when the morning
shift came off that the crosscut was through
the ore, and the same story was again
circulated when the men on the afternoon
shift came off. The drill was in beyond the
present face, but the ground was SO soft
that reliable samples could not be obtained.
What is ahead remains to be shown by the
crosscut. The temperature In the east drift
from the Union shaft is 1874 degrees. A
stream Of cold water must be constantly
played on the men who are handling the
drill. The west drift from the 100 station

ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE.

The Democratic Senators cannot afford
to fritter away their opportunity to or
eanize the Senate. As has been said IN
these columns before, they came by their
power honorably, and they will fall short
Of their duty il they fail to use it wisely,
patriotically and for the best interests OF
the country and those to whom they
their election. Our Republican friends
are just now very smiable, and seem es-
p%ecially solicitous that a conservative
Republican shall be chosen as President
of the Senate. This kind of twaddle is
running through the dispatches daily.
1t is a sort of wheedling or begging
proposition. They want the Democrats
to give them something which they are
unable to obtain without a concession.
Under similar circumstances who ever
heard of the Republicans conceding any
thing. They ara always to be found
strictly within party lines Whenever m
portant political advantages are 70 be
gained. The question as to which party
shall have the President of the Senate is
one full Of politics. 1t is the only polit-
ical issue likely to arise during the extra
session. The man chosen will stand in
the direct line Of succession to the Presi-
dency. In the event of the death or
disability OF President Arthur he will
become the Chief Magistrate of the
nation, with the patronage OF the whole
Union at his disposal. We hope that
such a contingency may not arise, but it
NAV. nevertheless, and the Democratic
majority will prove both foolish and
recreant if they throw away this oppor-
tunity to serve and protect their party.
The Democratic Senator who is weak
enough to be swerved from his plain duty
in a crisis like this, will prove himself
too weak to merit the confidence OF the
Democratic masses in the future. The
SENTINEL cares but little about the com
plexion of the minor officers of the SEN
ate, though as a matter of right, con-
ferred by uninterrupted Republican pre-
cedent, the Democrats should make a
clean sweep from top to bottom.

BuLLING THE BLONDES.

Clara Belle. the erratic correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has discov-
cred q fact that is not generally known
in kissing, that, for the most electrical
results, one kisser should be a blonde
and the other a brunette. representing
the opposite poles Of a battery. This
statement is evidently a scheme to bull
the market on blondes. The blondes
number about one to four in proportion
to the brunettes. and, to carry out the
magnetic idea, each blonde of either sex
would have whole bunch of brunettes
to kiss.

STEALING FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE.

Until 1869, when Grant took posses
sion oil the Presidential Mansion, Con-
Qress furnished the house with new
furniture for each President on taking
possession OF the house. A change was
made IN 1859 when Grant took posses
sion Of the mansion. Congress appro-
priated the money and it was put into
the hands of the Presidents Private Sec.
rotary and he made the purchases. The
first was made in 1869, and they made
them for ~ years thereafter. the last be-
ing this Spring, and in the IL years, and
only including one purchase in the pres
ent year, in March, the expenditure
amounted to $500, 345. Ten or twelve
thousand dollars each four years would
have been ample.
Then what was the result when Gar
field took possession? 1t has been arule
to disturb nothing there until the out
going President is away and the incom-
ing one is in, when he orders the repairs
or new. Hayes had 500, 600 to put
into the house while he was there, and
yet Mrs. Garfield, and others, said there
was not a napkin, towel or other decent
article in the house of a light and porta-
BILE character. All the fine knives and
forks and other table furniture were not
to be found, and the house was
stripped of all the small and portable
furniture. Babcock or Shepherd did
not steal those articles. Did guests
pocket them when visiting the White
House? Who did it! Did not the same
party who stole the Presidency steal
those things?
