"SOAP" EVERYWHERE.
The Use OF the "Sack" I'm n
Cody East.

Says a Republican contem.: The recent
discussion as to the means by which the
Republicans carried Indiana in 1880 m
phasizes ono point which we have some
times made about the use Of money in
elections. The point is this: or all the
money contributed to carry elections, a
large part is stolen. That is, it sticks to
the fingers of the men who are supposed to
.'put it where it will do the most good"
Thus it is generally understood that
Stephen W. Dorsey, who was then and is
now Secretary of the National Republican
Committee, and who is also under indict-
ment as one of the Star Route swindlers,
carried to Indiana in 1880 a large sum OF
money, of which a considerable part may
have been contributed by the Star Route
thieves, and that by the use Of that money
Indiana was saved TO the Republicans. At
a banquet in New York given in Dorsey's
honor-though we have heard that he paid
for 1t. or promised to pay for 1.-THE dis
tinguished gentleman, who is o Presi-
lent Of the United States, made broad al
lusions to Dorsey's use of 'soap" and
'~'tracts' in Indiana, which put the table
sin a roar" But, il the last story about
Indiana is true. Dorsey did not deserve the
credit he received at the New York banquet
in his honor. and the ''soap" he was
credited with using with so much effect
must have stuck to his fingers. Our pur-
pose, however, is to call attention to the
general application of the rule. The can
didates right here in Boston, who have
''bled" for their country. may be assured
that out OF every $40 they have put out to
carry an election more han IS has been
stolen,

The man Bradlaugh's name has by this
time become a familiar word all over
C~hristendom. He has twice been elected
by the people OF his borough to represent
them In the House Of Commons, and has
been twice rejected once forcibly elected;
all because he will not take the oath, be-
ing an unbeliever in the authenticity Of
Scripture, though he is willing to make
affirmation which the law regards as an
obligation next in binding force upon the
conscience.
Mr.. Jennings telegraphs to the New
York World that rioting in London Is
feared in consequence of the action by the
House Of Commons In the Bradlaugh mat
ter. The fear Ia not unnatural. Mr.. Brad
laugh not only represents at this tim a
great constitutional principle. but he rep
resents that numerous and formidable
class whom Mr.. Bright once described IS
the residuum. The h~orny-handed son OF
toll is disposed, for some inscrutable rea-
son to regard Mr.. Bradlaugh as his cham
pion, and that Objectionable persons ex-
clusion from the House OF Commons is
largely attributed to aristocratic AFRO
gance. 1t is quite likely that there will be
trouble. for the London rough is q formid-

De Mortuis NIL.

The following communication was found
on the editorial table yesterday. 1t speaks
for itself. 1t was evidently written before
the g~enuineness Of the Chase letter had
been established. 1t ia written on an odd
scrap Of paper in a lady's handwriting:
EDITOR SENTINEL: Allow me to express
my opinion to you about the Garfield
Chase letter and all that talk regarding 1t.
II the letter be genuine. ii is undoubtedly
correct to publish it. You, with most OF
the papers, seem to forget entirely that
de mortuis nil nisi bonum applies only to
us common mortals, but not to persons In
exalted positions of public trust. Empe-
rors, Presidents and all eminent men after
death belong to history. which will Judge
their virtues and faults impartially. To
try making q man an angel because he Is
dead. even murdered. Is simply ridiculous:
He who reaches out OF the vast food OF
humanity for fame and glory must submit
to the lot of those acquiring IL.

MORE WHITE RAIN.
The Heaviest Fall Of snow During
the Season.


Probably tho last big snowfall OF the
season is on the ground. 1t was the heav-
lest Of the Winter. The gale which had
prevailed from the south for five days
without interruption, accompanied by al
most constant snow squalls, suddenly
ceased Yesterday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
the sun struggled through the struggling
clouds bright and warm, and everybody
was beginning to look cheerful and happy
over the prospect Of pleasant weather. In
fifteen minutes, however, the heavenly as
poet changed. A bank OF heavy, black
clouds suddenly appeared in the north over
Diamond Valley, which were swept along
by q polar wave, and soon enyeloped the
Range. The white flakes fell thick and
fast, and continued to descend until 8 P.
M, when about six inches covered the
ground. Gradually the wind died out,
the atmosphere became soft and pleasant,
and astronomers were allowed to study
the sparkling armament without him
drance. The storm has added new COM
plications to the various routes of travel,
already made nearly impossible by the
drifted now Of the past week. A sudden
and general thaw, likely to follow, would
render them completely impossible.
But at this late season three or four days
OF warm sunshine will reduce the trouble,
and again open the roads for traffic. From
all accounts the storm has been very gen.
eral over the coast. and has resulted in
great good to the agricultural regions,
particularly 10 California.

Cassidy Gets I'm His Work On a
Notorious Frsud.
The following dispatch is s~elf-explana-
tory:
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Something Of
a scandal seems to be brought out in con-
nection with the Western Shoshone In
dian Agency, Elko County Nevada, Of
which one Howe is the Agent. His &C.
counts are known to be badly out of joint.
1t is understood that he lays the blame on
his clerk. Vouchers were forged for q
large amount of accounts which were
never paid. Congressman Cassidy Of Ne
vada is in possession Of correspondence,
including afidavits Of settlers in the vi
cinity, showing very clearly this statement
OF facts. Unsettled claims OF settlers are
now being sent on here for payment. Cas-
sidy has filed the claims of Henry Royle
and H. o. Miller, together with the follow
ing spicy letter, addressed by him to the
Secretary of the Interior
Dear Sir Please find two claims against
the Western Shoshone Indian Agency.
These are but samples of many Others to
which my attention has been called by
persons resident in that vicinity. There
seems to be some glazing crookedness at
this Agency, and l desire to bring the mat
tiers complained Of to your special atten-
ton. The claimants are gentlemen of the
s~trictest integrity. Will you kindly in
form me in what manner the Government
will proceed TO right the wrong inflicted
upon the citizens, whose claims being just,
should be promptly ~liquidated. II a for
ger holds a place at the Western Shoshone
Agency, I beg to submit that he cannot be
too soon displaced. Ample testimony to
this effect, l am constrained to believe,
can be obtained in the neighborhood. The
charges Of corruption and m~ismanage-
ment have been VIGOROUSLY prominent for
many months. The claims herewith sub
mitted go directly to the point. 1t has
been stated in public print that Agent
Howe recently returned from Washington
to Nevada with full power to adjust and
make good the delinquencies of the Ad-
ministration and thereupon to be con-
tinued in charge of the Agency. Mani
testify he has not complied with the first re-
quirement. Your Department can best
answer these conditions. l submit that
the affairs of the Western Shoshone
Agency should be corrected and the just
claims against it OF the citizens be settled
without further delay.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE W. CASSIDY.

He Couldn't Stand "Limft, and
Unlimited. Too.


A good husband Of Eureka, who lives in
the northern portion Of the town, has been
trying very hard to make a philosopher OF
his wife. He has been coming home for
six months or more in the wee sma hours,
invariably loser at " limit" He has often
braced himself against the curtain lecture
begun the moment he hove in sight, with
worn out sophistry something like this,
varied for the occasion /: Whatever is,
is Recognize the inevitable. / know
I'm freezing you. Go to Sleep" But
she has persistently declined to submit to
the embraces OF that pain-killing deity.
She has preferred to spend her time upon
her tobacco-fumed and head-bursting
hubby the rest of the morning until break
fast time, to show him how much happier
and richer he and the family would have
been if he had stayed over night with her.
Between each "sitting" and after each
break as well, she peppered away at him,
until at last his life became a burden, and
he was sure he was the most wretched and
worst "~sat-down-on" man on the Range.
He began to think that between the
limit" game with the boys aud the
unlimited game with Madame, he would
soon be attending his own funeral. How
ever, about a week ago he gave up kicking
against the pricks and started in to kick
himself. He became a philosopher and
made up his mind to take the medicine he
had prescribed for his wife-"recognize
the inevitable" He came to this resolu-
ton at 8 o'clock in the morning, after fail
ing to make q four flush beat a full. Be-
fore retiring to bed with his wife and thorns
he ven out into the back yard and sat down
in q snow bank to collect his ideas and get
thoroughly cooled off. AS the snow came
down upon him from the heavens and he
absorbed it from below, he was heard
grinding out with emphasis and desperate
deliberation, between his firm set teeth:
"Pve got to go home, or not. It's rough
either way. l don't care for death or the
Assessor. l can stand them off. That
wife of mine. One more burning up like
that last night. If she was only sick and
couldn't talk. God! what a forked tonguel
Ugh! There is no use for a man to kick,
though. I'm in for it. Here she goes"
He went blowing through the storm to his
torture and welcomed it rather than have
the prospect of it gnawing his vitals any
more. He wonders now how he ever sur
vived the two games, and he will not
tackle either again, he s%ays--until he
makes another raise to beat the "limit"
with, the unlimited" being a considera-
ton posterior.

THE RICHMOND COMPANY.
The Lower Grade Ores Can be
Worked at "a Profit.

From the London Mining Journal.
Your correspondent, 3D." in his letter
on the Richmond Mining Company, which
appeared in the Journal OF Feb. IL, seems
to have fallen into an error when corApar-
ing the revenue of November with the
returns for the half year ended August,
1881. He overlooks the fact that the rev.
enue Of the first six months OF lsSi-S2
wal charged with all the costs and expenses
OF rebuilding the furnaces. providing new
machinery, and putting the works into q
thorough state Of repair. II was after de-
Quoting these expenses that the profits
were between ESQ. 900 and eco. 600. Dur
ing the following months these extraor-
binary expenses did not reour, and hence
November could show a profit of fl0, 900,
notwithstanding the average yield per ton
had fallen from S57 A to SAT 90. Your
correspondent makes 40 mention Of the
increased value OF lead-an important
Item for a company like the Richmond,
which has a stock of upwards OF II, 900
tons. In December, 1880. the company sold
2'o0o tons at 4.65c. per h., whilst at pres
ent from DC. 10 5k C. per ID. il obtained.
ms rise makes a difference Of ego, 600 on
their average annual production of 10. 900
tons.
The mine and the improvements upon
1t have cost over f370, GOO, but the capital
remains, as at first, at E270, 900, and no
debentures have been issued. The re-
serve fund has been raised to ELS, 600, and
tfO,00O have been carried forward from
last years account. The cost OF raising,
smelling and refining amounted in 1879
