The labor Of the ~convicts of the
Nevada State Prison cannot be made to
pay. The reasons are evident. The
conditions for cheap manufacture do not
exist in the State; also, the number Of
prisoners, among whom there is only the
proportionate number of TRUSTEES" is
small. But it is q serious question,
whether the labor of convicts. under any
circumstances, should be put in the mar
ket against that Of honest laboring peo-
pie. It occurs to the SENTINEL to be
bad and unfair. The whole community
should rather bear together the expense
OF maintaining its criminals than have
the load fall unequally upon any class
Of citizens. Take, for example, any one
mandatory you please. say boots and
shoes. Whatever may be done in this
way by convicts will be to q greater or
less extent an interference with and a
loss to the craftsmen in the boot and
shoe making business. These people in
so far will be taxed unduly for the bene-
fit and relief Of the whole community.
These remarks, however, apply with but
little local force to Nevada, a. there are
no manufactures in the Sta to.

All the Blame Attributed TO M.

naux Declines.
ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
MADRID, Feb. ia Council OF Minis
ters have carefully discussed the latest re-
ports of Captain General Pendergast,
who says there is considerable agitation
among the Cuban Autonomists, especially
among the advanced liberal and colored
population Of the Eastern Provinces OF
the Island. 1t was decided that Fender
CAST should have full powers given him for
the energetic repression OF all secession
i%ntrigues.
PARIS, Feb. 15.-The break up OF The
proposed international Billiard Tourna-
ment must chiefly il not altogether be at
tributed to the bad faith OF M. Plot, who,
without giving any valid reason for his
conduct, has refused to fulfill his engage
ment. M. Plot had beaten Schaeffer at an
informal game of cushion caroms played
a few nights ago at the Grand Cafe, and
was probably satisfied with the cheap glory
he acquired by this victory, and not de-
string to risk losing it he refused to play
in the tournament or in the match, though
Schaeffer offered to give him 100 points in
500 if he would play publicly.
Schaeffer then proposed that Vignaux
should play him at all or any one OF the
four following games: The a~ll-rail game,
the champion game, the cushion carom
game, or the eight-inch all round the table
game, for $500 or 81, 900 a side, and more
If preferred, on a Brunswick or Collender
table. M. vignaux, Directing to the latter
stipulation, vaguely expressed his willing
ness to play him at the cushion carom, or
~all-rail, if he would accept the French ia
BILE. Schseffer made q counter proposal to
toss for the choice Of tables, but Vignaux
declined, and the whole thing fell through.
Daley is still in Paris, but Schaeffer left
there Yesterday.

His Trial ON Two Charges and the
Result.

ResuIt
The people on the Comstock have been
greatly exercised Of late in regard to the
alleged bad behavior of T. J. Booher, Prin-
cipal of the High School at Virginia City.
The papers there have been filled with con-
domination of the hapless p~edagogue, who
was at last arraigned in the Justice Court
and tried ON the charge of brutally whip
ping q little girl; while the Trustees
hauled him over the Goals for instructing
his class in a history lesson "that there is
nc special reason for regretting the death
of Garfield; that he was a bad man anyway,
and a thief in the bargain"
In the Court the charge OF brutality was
not proved, and the defendant was acquit-
ted. The result of the investigation by the
Board Of Trustees into the charge of de-
nouncing the deceased President as a rob-
Der and q thief, the weight Of the testimony
favored the belief that he had not used
those words, though, in debate, he had re.
ferred to the Credit Mobilier and De Col.
yer scandals. Whersupon the Board re.
solved, that debating partisan questions in
the schools is pernicious, demoralizing and
subversive of school discipline, and there
fore indefensible; that, in the case Of the
First Ward Grammar School debate the
evil was aggravated by the circumstance that
the nation was yet mourning for its dead;
and that the Trustees forbid the public
school teachers of Virginia, on the penalty
of instant dismissal, from engaging during
school hours, or in the presence Of their
pupils, in partisan discussions.

Value Of a Railroad Train.

Few have any conception of the money
value Of an express train. The handsome
locomotive and elegant cars are admired as
the train comes puthng into the depot, but
when seen from the point of view furnished
by the HIrtfori ConrdHt. the spectator is
astonlshed at the responsibility placed in the
hands Of an engineer, fireman, conductor,
and brakeman:
\ railroad official the other day, gave
some interesting figures as to the value of
the midday express from New York, which
was a far representative of the fast express
trains on the consolidated road.
There we're an engine. tender and eight
cars. The engine and tender which are
considered together, were valued at $40, 800,
the baggage ear $1,000. the postal car $4,000,
the smoking car $4,000, the two ordinary
passenger cars slO,O0O each, and three pal
ace cars 1000 each; total Ss3 900.
This is low. rather than an excessive.
estimate for one Of the fast expresses, As
some Of them, with more cars, are worth
100000, a, least.
The palace cars, put down at Slj, 900.
are, IN many cases, worth an average Of
$4,000. These cars came INTO use soon
after the sleeping coaches. the first being
used in lNG}. In some instances these cars
have cost as high as 80 900 and SO. 900.
where the interior workmanship was very
elaborate.
From the figures given, il will be- seen
that comfortable dwelling may be built for
the cost Of an ordinary passenger car. and
that the money expended for a palace coach
would erect very handsome brick or brown
stone front residence
II Is an interesting reflection that the
safety Of one OF these costly trains, to say
nothing Of the Passengers, deyoives almost
wholly upon one man-the engineer
There are other men, the conductor, bag
glgc- master, fireman and three or four brake
men, bat the hand upon the lever and the
brain directing It have an immense responsi-
