rect ana unmistakable chain of connections
between particular causes and particular
ehects-be between, that is TO say. a specified
hydraulic claim and specified tract of.
iand-then the main issue which has been
SO feiioitously stunned hitherto, will have
to be met squarely and decided on its
merits.
What that main issue is everybody un-
derstands. 1t is whether the hydran,;,
miners have legal right to proceed with
their working, at the sacrifice of the pro,-
erty OF the farmers. This important cues
ton remains to be passed upon in the
present circumstances. 1t cannot be said
that it is new question, or that it has
not been adjudicated in many and varied
forms. Bat its settlement in its present
form has been thus far avoided because of
the NATURAL and proper tendency to shrink
from judgments which threaten to involve
the existence OF important property inter-
ests. In this case it is of course clear that
the last consideration is capable Of being
applied with quite as much force to one
side as to the other. There are great prop
erty interests mutually concerned, but
otherwise the conditions are in no way
similar. Ii was to avoid the COL
lsion now inevitable that the
engineering plans embodied in the
so.called Drainage Act were devised
and pat in operation. 1t was suggested
and hoped that through these plans the
problem OF hydraulic mining would be
solved by providing full protection for the
farmers, and at the same time so manipu-
lating the rivers that they would be en-
abled to carry all their burden of debris
without injury to themselves or the
country through which they passed.
Popular impotence; distrust Of REM
edies for the success of which years in.
stead Of months are required the alarming
results of an abnormal rainfall during the
last winter and the selfish blindness OF
the sections not Immediately interested in
either side of the controversy have con-
tributed to ALLEVIATE confidence from the
scientific methods of relief and rehabilita-
ton proposed and already inaugurated,
and have led to the renewal of litigation.
As matter of course the beginning does
not foreshadow the end. There is certainly
ground for believing that the plaintiffs In
the action against the Miocene Company
will have less difficulty il. fixing the re-
sponsibility than has been experienced in
any previous suit. But the Miocene CON-
pany is after all only fraction of the
great interest known as the hydraulic
mining interest, and its overthrow would
not at all necessarily open any avenue to
more advantageous attack upon the rest,
for the reason that it occupies, as we have
shown, quite different position from
them. No serious doubt can be enter
tanned concerning the nature of the judg-
ment that must be rendered when once the
main issue is fairly joined, but, save, as
here, in isolated cases, the difficulty OF
joining issue upon that vital central poinS
remains as formidable as ever.

GENERAL SHERMAN.

General Sherman is a good patriot and
a gallant soldier, but he has an unfor-
tunate faculty for involving himself
continually in controversies with the
newspapers. His latest successful I'M
dertaking of this kind is in connection
with the battle of Shiloah, the journal
istic accounts of which he alleges to have
been written two or three hundred miles
from the scene of action by imaginative
reporters, who evolved their facts from
the depths of their inner consciousness.
As Mr.. Whitelaw Reid of the New York
Tribune has promptly joined issue in this
declaration, and is prepared to affirm and
establish the contrary upon the strength
of his W personal experience, the
chances are that the General will get the
worst of the conflict which he has so
needlessly precipitated. Considering how
often he has been there before, be ought
by this time to have learned better.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The New Orleans Picayune figures it
this way: Since 1855 Chinese immigra-
ton into the United States has aggre.
gated 2l5,000. The census shows that
only los, III now remain in the country,
of which IS, l22 are in California. These
figures clearly demonstrate the character
of this class Of immigrants. They come
to earn a competency to take them back
to the Celestial Empire. Estimating the
mortality at ten per cent, fully 100, 900
Chinese have landed in America, and
after laboring for a term have taken
away their earnings. If each has carried
back $500, the country has been drained
of $50, 900, 900 of specie.

sENATnR FAIR.

The Washington Republican has this
new Senator in particular ut matters
very little at the present extraordinary
session of the Senate how the standing
committees are made up, or whether
their members are selected with special
reference to their adaptability to the diff
fcrent subjects to be considered; but at
the next regular session of the Senate
many changes should be made and the
peculiar talents of new Senators should
be consulted. The case of Senator Fair
of Nevada will furnish an example. He
is, beyond question, the richest man in
either House Of Congress, and probably
the richest who was ever made a national
legislator. He began life a poor man,
and by hard work and business sagacity
he has carved out a colossal fortune and
made a name for himself that is world
wide. If there is any subject ON which
he is informed it is the question of
finance, and yet he is placed on the Com
mittee of Claims and the Committee of
Education and Labor. He is also a mem
Der of the Committee of Mines and
Mining, but that committee is of little
conseq uence. Mr.. Fair should have been
placed ON the Finance Committee, where
his everyday business ideas could be of
practical benefit to the country. Mr..
Fair has made a study of financial and
industrial questions, and no man in the
country has had a wider experience in
money matters. This experience should
be made of use in the Senate"
And the Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Star alludes to our Sem
ator as follows "By the way, we are
all surprised hat Fair is so regular in
attendance, and at the interest he takes
in the business of the Senate. His prede-
cessor, Mr.. Sharon, was rarely ever in
his seat, and it was thought that Fair,
being a man of such enormous wealth,
would look upon the Senate as a bore.
He has already made himself friendly
not only with his own party friends, but
with the Republicans, and it is predicted
he will be before long one of the most
popular men in the Senate.

Especial to the SENTINEL
LONDON, April 20.-Lord Beaconsfeld
died at Q o'clock to-day.
PARIS, April 20.-At the International
Monetary Conference yesterday, on motion
of Evarts, Delegate Magma, the French
Minister of Finance, was elected Presi-
dent of the Conference. Magma, in his
opening address, reviewed. the different
phases of the question, and showed the
inconvenience which the system estab-
lished in 1867, of a gold standard, and
silver as a transitory companion, had
brought about in Germany. He dwelt on
the recommendation in favor Of bi-metal-
ism by a committee of the United States
Congress in 1876. He explained the
causes of the non success of the Monetary
Conference in 1878. As regarded the OBJ
jects of the present Conference, it was
indispensable that, in order that silver
shall regain its former value, it should
again be freely coined side by side with
gold. He said he hoped that the deliber-
atoms would show that international
bi-metalism was the only system capable
of resisting monetary irregularity in all
parts of the world. 1t was not a question
of discussing a treaty of which some would
gain and Others lose. 1t was simply a
question Of forming, in good faith, but
with a knowledge Of the subject, decisions
equally favorable to all parties. He con-
cluded as follows: We in no wise claim to
impose our opinions on others. All sys-
TENS can be put forward and be freely dis
cussed. The conference her proceeded
with the formal business organization, and
appointed a committee to report at the
next sitting of the conference. Fifteen
states are represented, viz: Germany, Aus
tria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, the United
States, France. England, Greece, Italy,
Holland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and
Switzerland. The English and italian
delegates have not yet arrived. 1t is said
that the German Government will submit
to the conference a memorandum upon the
history of the gold and silver standard
question in Germany.

MRS. GARFIELD.

A Washington correspondent says .
Mrs. Garfield made herself at home at
once in her new place. 1t was scarcely
as strange a position as it has been to
many occupants. A long residence in
Washington has given her Opportunities
to visit the White House n~umberless
times. She has seen how things have
been done during several administrations,
and has had a chance to compare the va
rious arrangements. After the election she
was a guest at the Mansion, and Mrs.
Hayes gave her full liberty to see how
the household affairs were conducted.

The Reveille is in receipt Of a letter from
DIR. w. W. Wixom, dated Leghorn, Italy,
March "a, 1881, stating that Miss Emma's
success in that city has been equal to her
achievements in Florence; that she was
the favorite of the rich and the poor. The
fact Of her having given an entertainment
for the benefit Of the. poor of Leghorn,
which realized 1900 francs, endeared her
to that class. On Saturday following the
date Of the letter Miss Emma was to start
for the Eternal City (Rome), where she
was announced to sing five nights at 1000
francs per night. The Doctor sent along
with the letter an italian paper-Il Tele-
grafo-which contains four columns Of
praise Of Emma Nevada. She is engaged
for the grand musical season at Leghorn
during July and August.
