Camp Life Among the Scorpions of

The following letter was received by a
member of the SENTINEL force from a
friend, a civil engineer, who is on a sur
veylng trip on Katones Creek, Mexico,

peSglng away at us. Scorpions are lively,
too. The latter are unpleasant customers.
I have escaped them so far, and T hope to

often not very poisonous, but sometimes it
nearly kills. A young Englishman was
stung by a scorpion in our camp the other
day, and we had hard work bringing him
round. He is all right now tsober AGAIN.

Geo. J. Reek himself in the
SENTINEL this morning as q candidate for
County Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton, subject to the consideration Of the
Republican County Convention. We have
nc hesitency in saying that Mr.. Reek is a
proper man for that office. He has been
living here a highly respected and worthy
citizen for nearly six years, the most Of
which time he has spent in teaching.
The reason we think Mr.. Reel q proper
person for the office to which he aspires
is because he is u practical teacher and a
good one. No one but a teacher can dis-
charge the responsible duties Of the office
satisfactorily who ID not au fat in actual
teaching. He has to act az Chairman OF
the Board. whose duty it is to anil
aud pass upon the qualifications OF ap-
plicants for certificates to teach. This 10
q delicate task and requires not only great
familiarity with school text books,
but requires also a good share OF expert
epce in the schoolroom to aid him In his
Judgment Of who are fit and who are not
ht to have the care and education OF the
children entrusted to them. Another and
not less important duty OF the Superin-
tendent is to visit and examine the public
schools Of the county and advise with the
teachers for their improvement. Ihese
functions cannot be properly discharged
by anybody but a practical teacher. Ihe
other duties, merely clerical Tom' DICK
or Harry can look after well enoush'
Hence, for the reasons named the sENTi-
MEL would be glad to see Mr.. Reek nomi-
mated, 40 that In case the Democrats put
up a teacher against him, as they ought 20
do. we will have an efficient man In me

Edison still at Work.

A New York letter says Mr.. Edison Is
still at work on various new things which
will serve to utilize electricity even more
than at present, including a new stock in
dicator, which will work six times faster
than any now in use, and furnish the sales
as we'll as the quotations. The present
instrument. the brokers say, is too
slow when. the market Is ex-
cited, and when prices huctuate every
minute; the new indicator, therefore, is
a desideratum. Mr.. Edison says he
will soon be prepared to supply power as
we'll as light to the great commercial down
town district. He expects to start q gem
eral illumination all over the district
within the next ten days. During the day
these engines will run at full speed to pro-
vide force for elevators, hoists and small
machinery of all kinds, the motors ranging
from Ave to one-half horse power, and
capable Of being worked at much less cost
than steam.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

I'm the Interest Of the People and
Ia Party Let all Discussions be
Adjusted Outside.
We hear of this and that faction which,
reports say, are to rise up in the County
Convention of Democrats here tomorrow,
and parade their troubles and difficulties
in that ~assemblage. What would be
thought Of the head of a family who should
open his doors and call in his neighbors
and air his family sffairs in their presence
and hearing? There would be just as
much discretion and decency displayed by
this pater familias as by the various fac
tions, said to exist among the Democrats,
il they should choose the floor Of the Con-
vention as a place to ventilate their differ
ences and get rid of their gall. Such .
course is unbecoming. 1t is weak and I'M
manly. There are no differences among
the many aspirants for county Offices that,
fairly considered, are irreconcilable. There
is time left yet for reconciliation and q
wholesome adjustment of difficulties. Such
an adjustment is essential for %harmony's
sake. The Democrats are considerably in

fact is not of vital Importance, however,
as the contest for county offic is not on
political issues, and never has been 80.
The Democratic party should nominate its
men, whose qualities will be considered by
neighbors without regard to politics. II
Democrats indulge IN s%quabbling they
may overlook the fact Of their minority in
the county and possibly put men on their
ticket who might not get even their party
vote, and hence be very badly cleft" The
question that voters are going to ask this
Fall il not whether the candidate for
county office is a Democrat or a Republic
can. Nine out of ten electors will want to
know merely what sort of q man he is to
manage their business.
The Democratic party in Convention to-
morrow will have one of the finest oppor-
tunities to commend itself to the people.
Democrats, as a party, will show them
selves to be the friends of the people il
they nominate none but trustworthy men
for Office.
As to the adjustment of grievances
(real or imaginary it should be remem-
bered that the head Of the family settles
his troubles at home like a sensible man,
without any display Of dirty linen to pub
lie view; and profiting by his example
the various factions Gf such exist should
confer together before the Convention
meets, and if they cannot agree upon a
line Of work without a life and death
struggle in the Convention, let them, at
least, make up their minds to ~acquiesce
calmy in whatever the majority of the
delegates determine shall be for the good
OF the people and the party. This is the
shortest road to the best results for all
parties and interests. 1t will swell the
Democratic ranks by inspiring that conf
dence which always follows harmonious
deliberations in the interests Of the people.

POPPING THE QUESTION,
How u Colorado Girl Brought the
Lover to tho Point.

EIO" u SOlOFaNU VIII EEOuk III GuR
Lover to n Point.
The impatience of the parents of the
young lady over the long and f~ruitless
visits OF the chronic caller was pictured in
comic colors some years ago by a funny
writer. 1t seems that it was midnight.
The young man had farewelled himself
out, and Emeline had locked the door and
was untying her shoe, when her mother
came down stairs with a bed quilt around
her and said:
Wanted to creep up stairs without me
hearing you, Ell? Didn't think it was an
hour after midnight, did you 2"
The girl made no reply, and the mother
continued:
"Dl he propose this time?
"Why, mother!' exclaimed the daughter.
"You can why mother all you want to,
but don't l know that he has been coming
here for the last year? Don't l know that
you've burned up at least four tons Of coal
counting around here ?"
The girl got her shoes off, and the
mother stood in the stair door and asked:
"Emeline, have you got any grit"
81 guess So"
II guess you haven't. l just wish that
fellow with false teeth II a mole on his
chin would come sparkling me. Do you
NOW what would happen, Emeline ?"
"No."
"Well, I'll tell you. He'd come to time
in sixty days or he'd git out of this man
sion like a goat jumping for sun1ower
seeds"
And Emeline went to bed hugging this
thought to her bosom.
Occasionally such visits become so bur-
densome that the young lady talks to the
young man herself. At least they had
such a girl out in Colorado. She had
been receiving the attentions OF a young
man for about a year, but becoming i'm
patient at his failure to bring matters to a
crisis she resolved to ascertain his inten-
tions. When next he called she took him
gently by the car, led him to a seat, and
said
"Nobby, you've been foolin' around this
claim for mighty near q year, an hev
never yit shot off your mouth on the
marryin' biz. I've cottoned to you on the
