Accusing to the Chicago Times, the Ameri-
can system of checking baggage is to be intro
duced into England. Now" saws that pager,
In patronizing sort Of way, "the abe bodied
Briton Is compelled to struggle for his luggage,
and pick It out when he arrives at his destina-
ton as best he may" The American checking
system has It's advantages, undoubtedly; but il
1t Is TO be accompanied III England With the
local baggage collecting and delivery express
system, with It's exorbtant charges. to which
We are accustomed in this country, 1t Is safe to
say that 1t will never supplant the one now In
vogue In Great Britain. Now the traveller In
England may secure his baggage at the end OF
the Journey, With far less delay and trouble
than Is commonly supposed, and have 1t put
upon cab which Will take both it and the
traveller TO any point within reasonable dis.
lance for total outlay OF from twenty-se
TO lorty-two cents. For the same service In
the United States one Is compelled to pay fifty
cents for The delivery of a trunk alone, and for
the conveyance OF the passenger from one do
lar to five collars, according to the conscience
and opportunity Of the haekman. When Iu
comes to giving up the one system with all its
disadvantages for the other with all It's advalt-
ages the chances are that the cable bodied
Briton" viii hesitate a long while, and then
flally refuse to trade.

Applying the Knife.

The Postmaster General has begun to apply
the pruning knife to the star route excrescence
In good earnest. He has discontinued num-
Der Of the needless steamboat routes which
were established several years ago In Arkansas
and below that state. These were among the
routes which special agent Reedside reported
TO be entirely unnecessary. Other inland
routes where excessive compensation ha1 been
allowed have been cut off. 1t Is the Intention
OF the Postmaster General to re-estab.lSh star
routes In lieu Of those abolished, wherever they
are necessary, but only as they are needed, and
at rates OF compensation profitable enough to
the contractor and just to the government. The
routes discontinued cost annually, under the
Brady system, $685. goo; 1t Is estimated that
proper service can be furnished In place Of the
abolished routes at an expense of s., 900 per
year. This Is but the beginning Of the work
OF discontir ulng, abolishing and pruning down,
but IL Is positively announced that In all the
changes Gen. James Will keep steadily In view
the necessity Of providing all sections with
proper mail facilities, and that he will do this,
The howl" which the star route ring have in
sisted would be heard whenever the Brady
system Of service was cut down has BOT yet
reached Washington. On the contrary the cut
ting down policy OF Gen. James is generally ap-
plauded.

A Republican Plot.

A correspondent writing from Carson to
the Virginia Chronicle, says On Monday
night it was considered certain that the
Republicans would prevent the organiza-
ton Of the Senate to-day, in order to stave
off the balloting for United States Senator
for an additional week. The w~ire-pullers
were chucking over this, and the fact that
there was no Republican caucus on Sunday
night made it seem certain that the plan
had succeeded. Yesterday morning at 9
o'clock, however, the caucus was called
and the Senate was organized. The inge-
nious gentlemen who had this job in hand
have been in a state Of high evaporation
over the failure Of their arrangements, and
a little bad blood has sprung up between
the brethren in consequence already. The
Republican Senators who declined to delay
the public business are informed that but
for their action there would have been a
"harvest" reaped.
"If you had only held off till to-mor-
row" your correspondent overheard a Re-
publican politician say to a group OF Sena-
tors, " there would have been another mar
in the field with a million, and he would
nave given Fair a lively rattle, that would
nave made his hair stand on end"
"Why can't he turn her loose as it Isl"
asked a statesman whose eyes had opened
very wide.
Because you haven't left any time for a
fight"
who's the Democrat in the State that's
| got a million p asked another suddenly
saddened Republican Senator.
"Sharon's got money. hasn't he 2" sneer-
ed the politician.
The rumor few about town in 10 time
that the Senate had deliberately kept at
least q million Of good money out Of the
State. The old birds laughed at the story.
"It's too thin" said one Of these. 1.-The
boys wanted to keep Fair here a little
longer. They're telling the million-dollar
yarn just to make the fellows in the Senate
feel bad for not standing in on the post
| ponement racket. Sharon may be well
fixed for all I know, but / thtAk he has
about lost interest in Nevada politics.
Anyway, he don't want any more fights
with Fair. He hasn't got his wind yet
from tho last lick be got in the middle
from Uncle Jimmy"

school Trustees Meeting.

The old and new Boards of Eureka
School Trustees met in the SENTINEL build
ing yesterday afternoon, when the new
Board organized for business. The Board
now consists of Charles B. Moore, II. II.
Conklin and NJ. M. johnson. The latter
gentleman was elected Secretary. 1t was
agreed that all the old teachers should be
retained and to receive their former sala-
ries. Miss Ada K. Hobart has been added
to the corps of teachers, and will take the
position formerly occupied by Miss Laura
Hardy, who resigned at the close of the
last term. There will be some few changes
made Of the teachers in the different de-
partments. Mr.. G. J. Scanland was re-
tanned as Principal. 1t was agreed that
the winter term Of the school should COM
mence on Monday next. After a consulta.
ton of the best means for the conduct OF
the school in the future, the Board ad-
journed.

The Examination.

Judge Harmon's Court was crowded
from / p. N. until Q o'clock with friends OF
the late Charley Lynn and those now I'M
dergoing'examination for his murder. So
far as the examination has gone, and SO
far as the SENTINEL reporter heard the
same, there is nothing new TO record ex-
cept that the second witness called intro
duced a new man in the scrimmage which
resulted so fatally. The witness did not
know him, from whence he came or whittier
he went, but he was armed with or carried
an Ak. The witnesses examined yes
terday were Samuel G.. Boston, j. 81.
Seney, R. p. West and H. j. Lambert. The
latter is still upon the stand, or will be
when Court convenes at 10 A. NJ. to-day.
The Angove boys and Jack Richards do
not appear to worry about the result, and
the general opinion upon the street seems
to be against their completely in the affair
with intent to kill. Judge Harmon does

a word escape. In a six-hour session yes

Counting.

In the case of Mcdaniel VS.. the Brown
family to recover certain dry goods, pres
ents and coin, which suit was brought q
week or more ago, the defendants attor-
ney yesterday filed answer to said CON-
plaint. 1t is a decidedly rich document,
and therein one of the defendants, Miss
Josephine Brown, declares that all she re-
ceiyed was in pay for board and nursing
said plaintiff; that from evidence s~atisfac-
tory to her own mind she was averse to
any closer relationship with the plaintiff
and she drew her conclusions from the
history OF the plaintiffs former domestic
| infelicity, etc. Undoubtedly the Court
| room will be crowded whenever the case il
called.

A correspondent of the Virginia Chron.
icle has the following good words for oui
fellow townsman, Hon. George W. Merrill
There are indications that Mr.. Merrill oil
Eureka will make a good Speaker. He
hadn't much to do to-day, but what little
business he had to dispatch was disposed
of with self-possession, decision and dig
nifty. 1t is important to have a capable
Speaker. The last one, although one OF
the few honest men of the House, was
not a success, and the work often dragged
in consequence. The little speech in
which Speaker Merrill returned thanks
for his election was well spoken and to
the point. He was, I noticed, especially
earnest in urging the Assemblymen to so
act during the session that when each re-
turned to his constituents they could say
to him, "Well done, thou good and faith
full servant" Mr.. Merrill is q lawyer, and
has, | learn, made a good recordin Eureka
as District Attorney.

A Complaint.

Complaint was made at this office yester-
day against the management of the 'bus
carrying passengers to and from the rail-
road depot. Some six passengers were
carried to the depot yesterday morning
and much to their establishment, after ar
irving there, they found the train gone.
Their feelings can better be imagined thar
described. A lady stated that the same
thing had occurred to her twice before.
Now this is all wrong and should be reme-
died. There is no fun in getting up at 4
O'Clock these mornings, and on getting to
the depot to find the train gone. Passen-
gers are compelled to await the movements
Of the bus driver, and il be does not get
to the train in time it is a serious loss to
some, and exceedingly ~vexatious to others

Mining Matters al silver city.
fFrem the Avalanche of the Ist.l

~
fFrem the Avalanche of the 1st.l
The mining interests have undergone
some changes here during the past
two weeks, which, while they have their
dark side, will eventually prove a benefit
to the country. Operations at the Owy-
bee, and, we believe, the War Eagle, have
been suspended, or nearly so, on account
Of the refusal Of the men employed to
consent to a reduction Of 81 per day in
their wages. At the time the attempt to
reduce was made, the company was, we
are informed, two months in arrears with
their payments, and it was hardly to be
supposed, under the circumstances, that
the workmen would accede to the demand
made by their employers. The time has
gone by in Owyhee when incorporated com
panies can carry IN their work on the
jaw o basis, as not only the miners,
but also the business men have paid too
dearly for the lesson taught them in the
past to soon forget it. This is as it should
be. There is abundant merit in this coun-
try to carry it through, and the only thing
needed to make it one of the most pros
porous on the coast is capital to develop
the mines, and the right kind Of manage
ment. Anything less than this is a curse
instead Of q blessing. Operations at the
Ruby have also been suspended pending
action, we believe, in regard to the pur-
chase Of the mine, which, SO far, has been
bonded. We hope to see work resumed ct
all these mines soon on a satisfactory basis.
