JENNIE CRAMER's ARSENIC.

The very peculiar announcement IN
connection with the trial of the Malley
bows for the murder Of Jennie Cramer,
that the prosecution would rest its case
on one count, viz: poisoning by arsenic,
will probably surprise a good many peo-
Die. 1t might be manifestly unfair to
suggest that if the Malley boys had not
well to-do relatives they might have
to face a more formidable arraign-
ment. since that would seem to imply
that the money Of the family had some
how blunted the legal acumen of the
prosecuting attorney. 1t will not be
surprising, however, if some people should
take hold Of such a wild idea. As the
case stands, with the admitted fact that
the unfortunate girl was addicted to
arsenic eating from motives of vanity,
it may be difficult to fasten the guilt OF
administering the drug upon any of the
prisoners, and with the assistance which
it is understood has been secured, Of an
able Philadelphia criminal lawyer for ths
defense, a verdict of acquittal is one Of
the not very remote possibilities.

sCANDALOUs INVITATIONS.

The New York Commercial charges
the editor Of the Tribune, Whitelaw
Reid, with having in his possession a
letter written by General Garfield, which
at one time gave him complete power
over the late President. This good Re.
publican journal, whose editor is high in
the %counsels OF his party, bristles with
innuendos, which he gives vent to as
follows:
Is it true that during the summer of
1880 Whitelaw Reid took a sum of money
to Mentor that was obtained in a very
queer way? Dare he publish a certain let
ter that Pacific Railroad people know
something about? Dare he tell the coun-
try what promises were made in consider
alton Of the railroad kings turning a very
large sum of money into the campaign
fund? Dare he tell to whom that money
was turned over, and who took it to Ohio ?
Dare he tell what disposition was to have
been made of certain measures before
Congress as a return for the contribution
of that money! Is it true that a seat on
the Supreme Bench was also thrown in to
induce the payment of the sum mentioned ?

OUR GALLAGHER.
Why Americans are Dying Out-A
Pessimisffc View.

Why Americans are Dying Out-A
Pessimisffc View.
Rev. George. W. Gallagher will be re-
membered as having been a resident OF
Eureka about a year ago. While here he
oficiated as pastor of the Presbyterian
Church. He changed his religious views,
however, before he left, withdrawing from
the Presbyterian faith and %espousiug the
doctrines Of the Unitarians. He has been
successful in New York, his sermons call
ing forth favorable criticisms from the
metropolitan press. At the Unitarian
Church, 12sth street, April 9, he preached
a sermon to which reference was made in
the SENTINEL several days ago. He ad-
vances some practical ideas, over gloomy
perhaps, but a synopsis of his remarks
will repay perusal:
We learn, said DR.. Gallagher, that in
the year 1880 the death rate in New York
was 26.4S to 1000 inhabitants /; that in the
year 1881 it was BLOC per 1000, while in
London, for the same period, the average
death rate was 22.14 and that As
cities in the United States during the
same time exceeded the death rate of New
York, it becomes us to ask: Why are
Americans dying out? In 1881, in this
city, there were 12,494 more deaths than
births and in the months of January n
February, 1882, the deaths exceeded the
births by 2,446. In London, during the
year 1880, there were SLIPS deaths and
1872, 1913 births, or 81, 047 more births than
deaths. 1 have considered these facts
worthy of close attention. One reason
why Americans are dying out is because
they eat too much and too fast. A person
studying closely the habits of Americans
would think that their object in life
was to eat. Americans can't converse
five minutes without something to eat.
Another reason why Americans are dying
out is because they drink too much.
The curse of our nation is intemper-
ance. Another reason why Americans
are dying out is because they gamble
too fast. We are becoming a nation OF
gamblers. This spirit of gambling is I'M
| dermining all honest industries. Another
reason is disappointed ambition. We are
a nation of rivals. Each man desires to
lead his fellows. A republic has many
blessings. but it possesses one disadvan-
tage, the failure to satisfy the grasping
ambition of it's teeming millions. The
last reason for Americans dying out is
their false standard of success, money. II
a man in Europe fails in business, or loses
his money by some unexpected calamity,
his friends will still remain true to him,
as a rule. But in this country let a mar
lose his fortune by adversely and he il
quickly forgotten. We should not gauge
the amenities and duties of life upon a per
sons bank book, for in doing so we intro
duce those causes of encouragement, in
action and national deaths which will no
only make Americans die out, but every
nation under the sun.

A SKELETON AT BANQUET.

The people of Arizona sent a letter
to President Arthur and his Cabinet. 1t
was directed to Fortress Monroe and in
tended for a skeleton at the poulpous
military carnival to be held there. The
state of affairs in Arizona is truly deplora-
BILE. Enough houses have been burned
and enough defenseless men, women and
children have been slaughtered to almost
satiate the cravings of the Apaches. 1t
is to be hoped that the goody-goodies of
the East may see the folly of their Sum-
day school policy of managing the In
dians; and it is to be expected also that
some of the soldiers in barracks away off
from where they are likely to be needed
may be given a rest from the holiday
parades and put where they can do some
oOod.

WELL PLACED CONFIDENCE.

The San Francisco Stock Report has
changed its views in regard to the politi-
cal significance of the Chinese question.
Only a few days ago it was unwilling to
place where it belongs the credit for
what he's been done in the way Of legis.
lation on the subject. 1t now apologies;
A Democratic contemporary fears that
danger to- the success of the party lies in
over-confidence. II confidence could
work against the success of the Democratic
party it would never win an election. We
must admit, however, that in view of the
attitude of a Republican Administration
on the Chinese question. the Democratic
confidence is justified this time and that
that party has a better outlook for sue
cess in the Pacific States than ever before
In its history.

White Men Su~perseding Cinnamon.

In Nevada County, CAL, the Caucasian
workingmen are getting the better of their
Monaghan competitors. Three years ago
there we're rs Cinnamon and rs white men
employed in the Milton mine, French
Corral, near the town of Grass Valley.
Now the entire force consists of white
men. A similar revolution has been
brought about in all the large mining
properties on the ridge through the anti
Chinese agitation and by the exertions of
the local Miners Unions. All the white
miners are now members of these Unions,
as well as the bosses and foremen. There
are some Chinese yet employed in a few
mines owned by white companies, but it
has become so unpopular to employ this
labor that it will not be long, the Grass
Valley Union thinks, before it can be said
that there are no Chinese employed by
white men to work in the mines Of Nevada
County.

The Parrot as an Example for Man

III hTEOb "S 81A ~ ~
A gentleman on the South Side has a
parrot that is almost human. 1t will
drink beer, and knows when it has had
enough and will not touch any more,
which is better than many ''grown people,
do. The parrot, when it first began to
take beer, got full, and those who saw it
say the parrot was just like a man. First
it was funny and laughed at everything,
and wanted to have a high old time then
it began to quiet down, and would sit on
the perch and pay no attention to any
thing, appearing to be seasick. And the
next morning its feathers all seemed to
pull, and the parrot had a headache. Its
master offered it some beer that morning,
but the poor bird looked at him as much
as to say, "Haven't you got any soda
water ?" The bird has sworn off, and is a
great favorite, being one of the most in
tellectual and versatile parrots in the city.

Trout

The trout canning business, says the

at Wadsworth, because the supply of fish
has not been equal to the demand for it
fresh. B. Bower, at Mud Lake, has put
up some picked, in casks of 10 to 100 lbs.
each. He cuts them up like mackerel,
taking off the head and tail, extracting the
blood, pickeling them, and then thorough
ly cleaning them. They sell for IL and
1917 cents. Last year he put up several
tons. Fish right from the lake sell to deal
ers for s to 10 cents per Id.

The Virginia Irish Republicans.

AT meeting of tho Irish National Republican
Club of Richmond, Va, held at their rooms Tues
day evening, June 6, 1882, after long and earnest
discussion on the present political situation, and
other business, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the Readjustcr party of this State, hav-
ing laid down certain policy as the basis and
groundwork of its future action, we, the Irish
Republicans OF the city Of Richmond, would deem
ourselves wanting in our duty TO our country, and
in loyalty to our great party predictions, If we
did not, In this supreme moment of the trial of
true liberalism in Virginia, place upon record the
sentiments of our body, numbering no inconsid-
cradle proportion Of the wealth and intelligence
of our community:
BE il therefore Resolved, That we the Irish Repub-
llcans of the city of Richmond, do heartily and
cheerfuly indorse the policy and principles of the
above named party.
Resolved, That we most heartily indorse Captain
John s. Wise, of this city, the standard bearer
of the Readjuser, or Administration party for
Congressman at large, the fearless and umlnch-
ing advocate of the noble doctrine as laid down
by the aforesaid party.
Resolved, That we most heartily lndorse and re-
commend to the voters of the third Congressional
district of Virginia the Hon William G. Elan, the
ever faithful as our choice to represent us in the
next Congress of the United States and that n
copy of these resolutions be sent to the Richmond

Bourbon Straight.

The Bourbon Republicans of Virginia
have been at it again. They are the
boilers from the Republican party who
would not act with it because it formed a
coalition with other unconditional Union
men. They are the men who set them
selves up in judgment TO rebuke the
thirty-seven Republican United States
Senators who coalesced with Malone to
defeat the Bourbons in the Senate on the
4th of March, 1881. They are the I'M
conquered rebels against the authority of
the Republican party in Virginia, They
have read the thirty-seven United States
Senators aforesaid out of the Republican
party for supporting Riddleberger for
Sergeant-at-Arms, They are standing
rebuke to President Arthur for having
encouraged and supported the coalition.
They are such guardians Of the Republic
can cause that they would gladly see
Malone and Riddleberger go into the
Bourbon caucus next March. They are
such good Republicans that the colored
voters of Virginia will have nothing to
do with them. The negroes are all back
sliders like Edmunds and Sherman, AM
thony and Dawes, Hale and Frye, Hoar
and Hawley, Logan and Cameron, Jones
and Miller, Ferry and Harrison, and the
rest, Dezcndorf and Wickham, Callahan
and Cochran, and several unknown to
fame, claiming the high-sounding title of
"Straightout Republican State Central
Committee" claim to have held a meet
ing at Richmond on Thursday, and to
have cut and basted an enormous
amount of summer work. 1t is not
