Mr.. Bartholemie, the ambassador Of
Russia to the United States, has made
himself unpopular in Washington by
his refusal to pay debts and by his bold
amonrs. Mr.. Blaine wrote to the Rus
sian Government and requested his with
drawal. The request has been seemingly
ignored; and a special messenger is to be
sent to the Car to find out what the
matter is. If MI. Bartholemie has been
SO ungenteel as to contract debts and
shield himself from not paying them un-
der the courtesy of nations to foreign
ambassadors by which they are made
free from prosecution, he certainly ought
to be ashamed OF himself, and he should
be ordered peremptorily home. But that
his amours should form part of the
charges against him is a refreshing in
timation that the stories current about
Washington society are untrue.

Board of Supervisors, for some reason, failed
to give it their attention. Tonight the Board
OF Health met and again adopted the resolu-
ton. and called the attention of the Board to
the necessity OF increasing at once the prison
accommodations. The Board also called the
consideration of the Supervisors to the fact
that during the present year not less than 90
900 Cinnamon had arrived in the city and that
they were ell qusrtered in Chinatown, and
that its limits mad not been enlarged. The

FIGHTING

General B. F. Cheatham, in early days
a prosperous business man of Stockton,
Cal, and later a dashing General in the
Confederate army, is now . planter near
Wartrace, Tennessee, and . stranger
would hardly take him for n Of the
hardest hitters of the hottest war in
history. He is Of medium hight, square
build and weighs about $50 pounds;
wears linen duster and a white mustache;
smiles frequently, but seldom laughs;
takes his beer with military precision and
regularity, and converses the while with
out ostentation and with winning cor.
The California exchanges relate
many instances of Cheatham's desperate
courage in the early days of that State.

TuURsDAY DECEMBER %. 1881.
PENSION

There is no greater drain upon the
resources Of the country h mat
caused by the reckless legislation with
reference to pensions. Since June, 1851
there has been paid out for pensions
$3.50. OO0, 600. and President Arthur est
mates, in his message, that it Will re-
quire $685., OO0, 900 to pay the sums called
for under the arrearage of pensions bill.
Already it requires s7O,O OO, 900 per an
mum to pay the pensions now allowed,
and it is probable that this amount will
be increased to 500, 000, 600 within the
next three years. Up to date some 1872
O63 pensions have been applied for, OF
which 450, 900 have been granted, and
there are still 266, SIS left to be acted
on. The applications continue to pour
in, and, although there are 675 clerks IN
the Pension Bureau, the President estI-
mates that it will require six years Tor
this force to dispose Of the cases o
pendinp. Under the arrearage OF PEN
sions law every new case allowed involves
on an average a first payment OF Sll 30.
It is fair to assume that if the raid upon
the Treasury continues, under the arrears
Act, it will not be many years before
the total pensioners upon the Govern
ment will number 1000, 900. There are
only some 9, 1000, 900 voters in the coun-
try, and as every pensioner has brothers,
sons or friends interested in his welfare
say, on an average, three to the man-we
will o O find about one-half the voters
Of tho nation interested, either directly
or indirectly, in plundering the other
half. 1t is a dangerous condition OF al
fairs. The policy encourages a habit OF
dependence in a large and growing class
of citizens, which ought to be avoided.
The Arrears bill was worked up by the
army of pension agents, but was twice
shelyed by the House COMMITTEES, which
had it in charge. Finally the pension
thieves, finding that they could not push
the bill through the committee, adopted
the bold course of having the committee
discharged and passing the bill through
the House under a suspension OF the
rules. 1t passed the Senate much the
same way, eliciting but little discussion.
A Presidential campaign was pending,
and the Republicans were anxious to
push through the measure, hoping there
by to purchase the soldier vote, while
the Democrats had not the courage to

The Eureka SENTINEL apologies for
publishing Fridays proceedings in the
Guiteau trial. and says the prudent pater
families will see to it that this nastiness is
put beyond the reach Of their children.
The SENTINEL is more nice than wise.
This is from the Reno Gazette. The
SENTINEL is grateful for being set right
as to the proprieties. The measure Of
our gratitude will be full if the Gazette
will only apologize for attributing its
"pater families" to this paper. Such
families are unknown in Eureka and
must be peculiar to Reno.

A sanity brother from the remote parts

view with a representative of the Daily Re-

be ~virtuous NJ in Esmeralda County, where
there Amt many temptations except whisky
and draw-poker, but if the strictest church
member of our county was to come down
here and fall by the wayside and make a
holy terror Of himself, I think I could
hardly blame him."

ANOTHER paoDIGrOUs STEAL.

The City Auditor of Newark, Fred.
A. Palmer, eonfesses that he has stolen
out and out $l25, 900. The argument Of
some, that every man has his price,
grows stronger with every example of
human d~epravity such as this. Either
much truth must be conceded tothis prop
osition of the snarling philosophers. or
else there is something seriously at fault
with the people who elect men to respon-
sible places. The conclusion is humiliat-
ing in either case. We will hold On to
the belief, however, that there are
plenty of men in the country who are
solid in their integrity and who would
no trust imposed on them. 1t is
easier and less painful to believe that the
people often make mistakes in choosing
their servants. There may be q remedy
for this evil. The possible other evil
would make us mere brutes.
