AN APPEAL FOR JUSTICE.
The Rights of n Mexican Vet
Grams Sharply Discussed.

The few remaining Mexican Veterans
seem to be purposely neglected. While
the Government has been quick to extend
the helping hand as all act of charity to
the soldiers and their widows of the late
war, and ~magnanimous in bestowing gifts
Of large sums Of money on widows, and
Others worthy of consideration, even re-
firing old officers on pay, there seems to
have been a studied neglect of those who
were first in the ranks to fight for the
right, or what was believed to be right at
the time. When war was declared with
Mexico in 1876, thousands offered their
services, left their homes and families, and
went to o foreign country to fight their
country's battles, knowing well they risked
their lives in their country's cause. A VIC
tory, yes, victories unnumbered were won,
often by the seyerest hardships, without a
grand travelling hotel and all the luxuries
OF home comforts, with which the Union
army was accommodated. 1t was a cam
paign with but the most scanty rations,
often with nothing to eat but such as could
be picked up by foraging in a strange
land with a people who, judged by their
former wars with the Texans, were known
to be extremely savage in the treatment of
prisoners of war. There seemed little hope
for escape; hence it wal understood that it
was whip or be slaughtered. Many lost
their lives, and others were crippled or
ruined for life. The war was settled by
the claim on Texas, and by ceding all the
territory known as California, Arizona and
New Mexico; a country large. and in soil,
climate and minerals, not surpassed by
any on the globe. And yet the few poor,
old Veterans are neglected. When a pen
sion is spoken of the answer is, the pen
sion list is already too large. Perhaps
there is another cause more potent-the
volunteers being mostly from Southern
and Middle States. 1t might be thought a
few rebels, or men born south of Mason
and Dixon's line, might receive a little re-
lief. Shame on such patriotism.

GUITEAU'S LATEST LETTER.
He Says He Wants an UncOndi-
tiOnal Pardon Or Nothing.

AAC says he wants an UncO0ul.
tiOnal Pardon or Nothing.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Guiteau has sent
out another letter. 1t reads: I tell the
American people and its officials, from the
Executive down to the Court in banc, who
are reviewing my case, that I tell the
truth, land lie not" when I say I am
Gods man in the matter of President Gar
fields removal, and that if a hair of my
head is harmed the Almighty will make
the officials that do it pay we'll for it. If
l was outside 1 would lecture under the
auspices of some bureau, on religious sub
jects. One of my subjects would be
paul, the Apostle, and kindred topics"
If my time has come to leave this world 1
am willing, but l want the officials that
murder me on the gallows to understand
the issue. If they murder me they will
incur the wrath of Almighty God, and it
will be q long time before He lets up on
them and this nation. The devils that
crncifed the despised Gallilean thought
they were doing Gods service, but that did
not release them from liability. They and
their nation incurred the wrath Of the AL
mighty by that act, and He got even with
them at the destruction of Jerusalem, and
He will get even with this nation and with
the officials if I am murdered on the gal
lows. 1 want an unconditional pardon or
nothing, and l want the Executive to so
understand it. I have set forth my views
fully on this in my book, s'The Truth and
the Removal" If the honorable ~jurists
representing the Washington Court in
banc decide this case according to the law,
there is only one decision they can make,
and that is that they have no jurisdiction.
If they decide contrary to the law, the
matter will rest with President Arthur,
and they will have incurred the wrath Of
Almighty God.

A Joke.

During a session Of the Territorial Leg
islature of Nevada, Of which the late
Father McGrath was Chaplain, a men,
ber-A. OF Virginia City-was d%escanting
on the useless expense of a Chaplain.
Let him pray for something practical"
said the member. "What?" said a by
stander. "Well," was the reply, ~ am
running a prospect tunnel at Virginia for
water. The rock is very hard apd the
water is very scarce. Let him pray that
the rock become softer and the water more
abundant" They told McGrath, and he
remembered him next day as follows
"Oh, Lord, bless member Al; make the
rock in his tunnel as soft as his head, and
the water as abundant as the whisky he
daily drinks. Amen"

WILLIAMS AND HAGERMAN.
what II Virginia Chronicle and
Reno Gazette Saw.

Reno Gazette Say.
The SENTINEL announced recently by
authority Of Senator Williams of Nye that
he Is not a candidate for g~ubernatorial
honors, and that he has never had such as
piration. The SENTINEL knows that Mr..
Williams is a good man, and strong enough
to poll more votes than any man the Re-
publicans could nominate against him.
The following complimentary notice by
the Virginia Chronicle is truthful and
merited:
Some weeks ago the Chronicle, in men
tionlng the names of citizens of the State
from among whom the next Democratic
Convention could make q safe selection for
the ~Governorship, included that of Sena-
tor Williams of Nye County. We have in
some exchange seen it asserted that Sena-
tor Williams declines to be a candidate for
the nomination. The Chronicle hopes that
the report is untrue, for the more good
men who appear as candidates the better it
will be. Senator Williams has proved by
his services in the Legislature that he is a
mar Of integrity, capacity and energy.
His record as an anti-monopolist is first
class. No lobbyist not even Steve Gage
-ventured to approach Senator Williams
more than once. The tools of the railroad
companies who ''packed the sack" around
the Capital gave him always a wide berth.
Senator Williams is a farmer. He has a
stake in the State. If he should get and
accept the Democratic nomination for
Governor he would mako no terms with
the corporations, preferring defeat to sue
cess won by their aid in consideration Of
pledges Of subserviency from him. Sena-
tor Williams, furthermore, is q Democrat.
The Chronicle would rejoice if Senator
Williams, or some other man of equally
high character and good record as an anti
%monopolist, should be chosen to head the
Democratic ticket in the coming campaign.
Of Mr.. Hagerman, our Republican con-
temporary Of Reno says:
While General J. G. Hagerman may not
be an avowed candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, he will
make it very troublesome for those who
have announced themselves. General
Hagerman has stood by his party in its
darkest hours, and deserves recognition.
He has some enemies, to be sure-every
positive man has--but his friends do not
propose to allow a handful of soreheads to
push him aside without a struggle.
The SENTINEL is not unmindful of the
proverb Beware of the Greeks bringing
gifts" and this notice sounds like a device
of the enemy. But there is no doubt that
Mr.. Hagerman is a sterling Democrat and
an excellent man every other way. We
could win with him as leader in the next
campaign.

Memorial q

The Finance Committee for Decoration
Day, consisting Of Comrades Martin, Broy,
Trowbridge and Aulbach, will call on our
business men tomorrow for contributions
to defray the expenses of the celebration.
1t is to be hoped that it will be met in a
generous spirit. Probably nowhere on
the coast, outside Of San Francisco, are
the expenses for observing Memorial Day
so great as in Eureka. Flowers have to be
brought from a great distance, an excur-
sion train must be run to Ruby Hill, mu-
sic, carriages, etc., must be employed, and
o number of minor things help to swell
the aggregate outlay until the sum actual:
" assumes such proportions as it would
seem impossible to raise. However, our
people are noted for their liberality, and
will no doubt cheerfully aid in properly
observing a memorial Of those who died
that their country might live.

An OIfactory Panacea,

Among the leading medical specialists
Of the French capital is a fashionable ply
sician who processes to cure all the ills that
flesh lie heir to by olfactory treatment. A
wealthy Briton not long ago CROSSED the
Channel on purpose to consult him. Hav-
ing asked his visitor a few curt questions
respecting his symptoms, and subjected
him to careful auscultation, the doctor ex-
tracted bottle from q drawer in his writ
ing table, unoorked 1t, and handed it to
the Englishman with the words, Smell
it ,'' adding, as soon as his command had
been obeyed, "That is we'll. You are
cured" Whatever surprise the patient
may have inwardly experienced at being
relieved of his malady with such astound-
ing promptitude and ease, he exhibited no
external sign of amazement, but, adopting
the laconic style Of his professional ad-
wiser, calculated, GLOW much9 GA thou
sand francs,' was the reply; whereupon,
producing a bank note to that amount
from his pocketbook, he held it under the
doctors nose for a few seconds, saying,
''Smell it," The astonished Esculapius
mechanically complied. "That is we'll.
You are paid" calmly observed the Eng
lishman, pocketing the note. II have the
honor to wish you a very good morning.
So saying, he bowed politely, and Quilted
the rom.

A Few Facts About the Newspaper
War.

Seven weeks ago, only, the San Francis
co Daily Examiner, the agency at which
time was held by the Opposition" news
dealer, had a circulat ton of 16 copies daily.
The managers of the Examiner were dis
satisfied, changed the agency, and to-day
the paper has a circulation of one hun
bred and sixteen copies (116) daily in
Eureka. In addition to the Examiner, the
undersigned has the agency for the Call,
Post, Alta, Bulletin, Record Union, Bee,
Salt Lake Tribune and Virginia Chronicle,
and also receives and supplies regularly
the Virginia Enterprise and San Francisco
Chronicle, for which I have already re-
ceived a liberal support from the public.
With the above statement Of facts, is it
any wonder that the opposition" squeals,
has his carriers run all the way from the
depot, hires horses and riders, and deliv-
ers papers at midnight? But can you
blame himp The reality Of seeing $40 gold

A Hairbreadth Escape.

Mr.. Jake Cohn was sitting in a buggy in
his back yard yesterday afternoon when
some little boys came suddenly, out OF the
stable door and startled the horse (Jim
singleton's bay). He darted off and went
twice around the lot like lightning, fitting
the buggy so far to one side that Mr.. COIN
was thrown out violently to the ground;
After making the second round he started
down the ally for the front gate, when one
of the shafts caught in the fence n was
shattered. In an instant buggy, harness
and MI were left behind, and the horse was
gone through the front gate and down the
street at full speed. That Mr.. Cohn re-
ceived no injury from his fall is remark

left a clause in his will to the effect that all
friends attending his funeral were to
smoke pipes while following his remains
to the grave, and were to adjourn to a cafe
to spend in drink a sum Of $50 specially
bequeathed for the purpose. Three hun
dred men, headed by the Mayor OF the vii

took place without any religious rites.
Every follower had a lighted pipe in his
mouth, and after the interment the second
