PUBLIC OPINION.
A Citizen Speaks 10 the Newly
Elected Legislative Meaibers.

EUREKA, Dec. l, 1882.
EDITOR SENTINEL. The result Of the
recent election, both in the Eastern States
and upon this coast, would strongly in
dictate that the people have at last de-
termined that their rights, as against the
moneyed corporations, shall DO respected.
This is especially true with reference to
the railroad corporations, whose tyranny
and oppression has been 30 felt in this
State and in California. One thing is GER
tain and established beyond cavil, and
that is that the interest Of the people is
not the interest of the railroad magnates.
The people, therefore, should determine
that in the future their rights shall be
respected. One other thing is certain,
and that is that no man elected to the
Senate or Assembly in this State need ever
expect the approval Of his constituents, or
the Endorsement Of a reelection. if he
falls down" on tho railroad proposition
this Winter. Two things that the people
will insist on, that ~freights and fares must
be reduced and the railroad companies
must be made to pay a reasonable tax on
their property. To insure the first the
people must depend upon their Senators
and Assemblymen, and to secure the
latter they must depend upon
their County Assessors and Boards
Of County Commissioners. VIII they
do their duty2 Let the people OK
press themselves upon these subjects in 80
| emphatic 4 manner that their public SER
wants will not soon forget it.. With fares
aud freights reduced TO a living figure.
aud the property Of railroads assessed "a
high as the property of private individuals
of equal value, will be q step toward JUS
| tice. Nothing less than this will answer
the demands of the people. II they are
determined to no longer be slaves to these
corporations, let them speak out on this
subject. With au exhibition of firmness,
their rights can be secured in these mat
ters. 1t is only a question OF time when
the war between the people and the rail
roads will begin. We mean a peaceable,
but no less an effective war. One Of our
members.elect 10 the Assembly is the
editor OF a newspaper; let him speak on
on this subject. PvDLrco.

If there is one thing more than another
Mr.. Andre Of the express is familiar with,
1t is the cultivation of flowers. This shows
an esthetic taste. which the gentleman
acquired in his perambulations in South

which remains with him to the present
day, In the Office he is surrounded by
quite a nursery. Among the various pots
a SENTINEL reporter yesterday noticed a
splendid variety of the lily Of the valley.
some of which are just casting beautiful
white flowers, that make the atmosphere
in the immediate vicinity fragrant with a

The County Hospital.

A. D. Rock, after q visit to the County
Hospital the past week, writes In a very
~eulogiatic way Of the institution. A few
extracts from the letter will not be out OF
place. Mr.. Rock, who by the way is a
keen observer, and a frank, outspoken
person. oonsratulates the people of the
county in having had, and still retain, the
present excellent management Of the Hos
pital. 'Indeed," says the Captain, ~
went so far as to say that in place OF its
being a halfway house between ones
home and the cemetery, or a charnel
house, as such institutions frequently are,
it is an oasis, a pleasant retreat, where any
one distressed in body might go without
feeling a sense Of degradation or having
his pride wounded" The Captain claims,
and justly too. that this is owing to the
kindly Matron, Mrs. Hunter, whose every
thought and moments time is given to the
amelioration and comfort Of the unfortu-
mates who are placed in the Hospital. The
citizens, and especially the Christian ladies,
are invited to visit the place.

The Grand Army Boys Score An.
other Success,

~.AsS
The Thanksgiving ball Of Upton Post,
G. A. R., at the Opera House on Thursday
evening was a positive success in every
way. There was immense crowd in attend
ance, and many were compelled to remain
as spectators in the gallery-every availa-
BILE part for observation Of which was also
occupied-for want Of room on the main
floor, which was filled with a moving,
jostling mass Of dancers. The hall was
very tastefully decorated. Immediately
back of he musicians on the stage two
large flags were gracefully arranged so as
to permit the letters G. A. r. to stand out
boldly from underneath a armament Of
stars, while directly below was the picture
Of Washington. Lincoln and Garfield &C.
cupied d position on either side Of d large,
nicely framed chart, explanatory of the
Army Corps flags, which were placed
against the gallery. Underneath the gal
lery, the walls were covered with maps Of
battles and Grand Army certificates. Back
of the gallery, an immense garrison flag,
SO feet in length, covered the wall, and
formed a very pleasing feature of the deco
rations. At $3.50 o'clock the hall was
already full, but owing TO the late arrival

Perry, followed by Captain A. D. Rock. D.
W. Levan, pr. j. N. Il. Owen and ladies,
and these in turn by Gen. Conklin and

in motion. Gen. p. L. Conner and Gov
esnor-eleot Adams, who were also expected
to take a prominen. part in the parade,
arrived on the scene too late to be assigned
positions in line. The mass Of dancers
made the position OF the floor director an
arduous one, but Comrade Hoadley, with
the exception of ut or two slight halts,
marshaled his host with great skill and
precision. Although there was q little
inconvenience to the dancers, on &C.
count of the large number in attendance,
nothing occurred to mar the pleasure Of
the evening. and the Grand Army folks
were praised on all sides for the perfect

A DANGEROUS BLAZE.


NOEbh E.Hh Oh tuS AOVu AllFes
A short time before 8 O'Clock yester-
day morning there was an alarm Of fire
from lower Main street, caused by a flame
shooting up 40 or so feet in the air from a
room in the rear Of DR.. Detter's residence.
As soon as the fire was discovered a num-
Der of men were on the spot, who, with
water drawn from a well in the yard, into
buckets, eXtinguished the flames that a
few moments later would have spread to
the neighboring buildings. After the flames
had been e%xtinguished, an investigation Of
the premises showed that a lot of straw
and rags had been saturated with coal oil,
set down in a corner behind a cook stove,
and there set fire to-. Further examina-
ton showed that there was no fire in the
stove, as the embers in it were perfectly
cold. DR.. Deter states that his wife had
cleaned the room two days previous to the
fire, and had set a bed, mattress and table
in it. He also states that there was no
person occupying the room at the time of
the fire. Mr.. Deter had his building in
sured for 5000, and four months ago APP
piled to have the risk reduced to $500, but
desiring to reduce his expenses still further,
had his policy cut down to $500. There
appears to be no doubt that some person
must have got access to the room and
deliberately set it on fire.
