Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1882-04-05

THE NEws-vETO, ETC.
The dispatches in this mornings SEN
rrxEL tell a great deal that is interesting
and important. As expected, the Presi-
dent has vetoed the Anti Chinese bill.
His reasons for doing so have been dis
cussed in Congress and by the press
until they are not fit to be discussed any
more. He is as pronounced an enemy OF
the white workingman as though he had
said in so many words that he prefers
the Chinaman. He wants them to come
in here in hordes, to build another trans
continental railroad. How unfortunate
for a man OF Arthur's shrewdness as a
ward politician, to suggest to the people
of the United States the memory of that
gigantic fraud To throw into their
faces the degradation they suffered when
a few thieves gobbled up millions OF
their property, and added thereto the
additional dirty saving of the difference
between the wages of white men and
Cinnamon, in the construction OF the
mammoth blk He speaks as though
halting in his sentences and uttering dead
words. He uses the muddy sophistry
of those for whom he talks. He makes
out of his veto a miserable apology to
the American people for still playing
underling. There is nothing plain,
straightforward, or manly in his utter
ances. He cringes as though he felt in
conscience the presence of an invisible
multitude of judges-the people-as he
penned his veto under dictation. We do
no violence to our imagination when we
picture him to ourselves with the Chinese
Envoy Plenipotentiary, and a few other
heathens OF our own color, railroad
builders, slave drivers, puffed-up aristo-
Gratis for whom laboring men are ma
chimes, standing behind him, as he sat
pen in hand, injecting their mercenary
wishes into the Executive of our great
Government, the best the sun ever shone
on. Commerce, international courtesy,
undemocratic passports, the spirit of our
fundamental law. 1t will not be long,
thank heaven! before we will have
ceased playing second fiddle to a nation
of pigtails; it will not be long before a
change will take place when public
servants at Washington will be such
more than in the mere name. The next
Administration will be one Of the people.
The signs of the times are unmistakable.
Many elections were held throughout
the United States yesterday. Read the
dispatches. The Republicans slaugh-
tered everywhere. What is the matter
in that town in which the Democrats
have been under back for twenty years
What is moving the people in those
places in the Middle States that have
been for time out of memory solid for
Republicans! What inspired Cleveland
Just at this time? Has Ohio, at last,
begun to see without the glasses through
which abe has been looking for SO many
years darklyi Have the Germans gone
mad! They are a thoughtful people.
They are in fact properly called "the
grand philosophical nation" They train
we'll when they are satisfied. But they
do not propose to help build up q Gen.
tralized, sapercilious aristocracy in
this country such as they have left be-
hind them in the old. They are among
our best citizens. They know the value
OF true liberty. They cannot enjoy it
under the p~retentious rule Of Republi.
cans. and they are ranging themselves in
line with the Democrats. The tidal
wave is moving in the right direction.
There will be a new era begun in 1884.
We will be politically reformed then and
start in anew OF wholesome principles of
government, the wishes and interests of
the people being the first and paramount
consideration of their representative
servants.
