Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1883-09-01
Our Pay-days.

Although we have not much to boast OF
in our pay-dsys at present. they neverthe-
less cut quite an important figure in COM
mercial circles, owing to the slothful
monthly collection system, which, as q
matter Of necessity on the part Of mining
companies, is being adopted almost uni
versally by business men and private citi-
zens for both large and small amounts. 1t
is amusing at times to see the subterfuges
to which men, and even women, resort to
get rid Of paying their debts promptly.
The first Of the month, or after the pay
days, is q convenient excuse for them, yet
It not i~nfrequently happens that these
lime never come to remind them OF their
obligations. The people OF Eureka in the
main form an honest community, but
there is a pretty large class Of sharks who
iced, and grow sleek and fat, upon their
fellows. They are ths parasites that live
on the success Of others. and reduce thrift
TO q struggle to get along. They are the
millstones around the neck Of prosperity,
and should be shaken of. The credit
system is too universal In Eureka. 1t
must be done away with TO improve bust
ness. A horde Of collectors onoe . month
will not do It.

Not Yngranf.

We Ore happy to correct an item which
was published in yesterdays SENTINEL, in
which Ed. Diamonds name appeared a.
among those arrested on the charge Of
vagrancy, but not under that charge. It
was for violation Of the statute which
makes il q misdemeanor for boys, not the
"old boys" but boys-those under 81 years
Of age-to visit any billiard hall or gamb-
ling place or saloon in which liquors are
sold, or to be out in the streets later than
9 P. M. 1t appears that the young man is
not at all Of the vagrant class. He is at
work Of some sort most Of the time. and is
now about to leave for the Mount Hope
mine in McGary District, owned by Hon.
Thos. Wren, where, with his step-father,
he will earn his bread by the sweat Of his
brow, as does any other honest miner.
The sin that the young man is charged
with, il that can be called q sin in this
country without making sinners Of nearly
all Of us, is that he was around seeing the
sights after 9 o'clock In the evening, and
hat for the present he lsbors under the
disability Of being less than 81 years Of
age. In order to be one Of the ''boys,"
under the law, he must wait until be be-
comes q a
