Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1882-07-16
THE CARSON MINT.

Within the last few days the SENTINEL
has reproduced, as matter Of news, two
articles from the Carson Bee, containing
charges Of dishonesty and peculation in
the management of the L. s. Mint at
Carson. The charges are made by those
who may fairly be presumed to entertain
prejudice and a grudge against the Su-
periutendent and officers under him.
Those who tell the harmful stories We're
discharged from the Mint. This fact
renders their statement suspicious, and
deprives it of the force it would have
were it not presumed to originate in
malice. This much we feel bound to say
on behalf Of the gentlemen against
whom charges of fraud have been made,
and whose regulations must suffer tenn
p~orarily therefrom. 1t behooves them,
however, to vindicate themselves. If
they are unjustly accused, as it is no
more than fair to presume, they should
formally deny the charges preferred
against them, and give satisfactory proof
to the public Of their innocence. Justice
to themselves, and a due regard for
public sentiment, makes it obligatory
upon them to justify themselves. The
mistrust, to use a mild word, that is
en~gendered by published stories, such as
are in circulation concerning alleged dis-
honorable doings in the Carson Mint,
ought not to be allowed to Turk in the
suspicious mind Of anybody. The SEN
TINEL would be glad if the officers of the
Mint could prove that their behavior
has been altogether honorable and above
~reproach. We have published the dam
aging articles of the Bee without COM
ment and, as has been said, as mere
matter OF current news, about persons
who. in their official capacity, are public
servants. and are responsible to the peo-
pie for their acts. We refrain from
comment upon the investigation that is
being pushed by the Carson Bee, pre-
ferring to believe, as in law, that a man
Is innocent until he is proved guilty.
The opinion of the SENTINEL will be
until the gentlemen of the
Mint have had an opportunity to tell
their side Of the story, which we trust
will show them to be entirely innocent.
