this need? but rather How much can

IT any believe that the Irish citizens
OF Cairo concern themselves very little
about the wrongs oftheir brethren in the old
country they are daceiving themselves Our
Irish fellow citizens are as full Of patriotism
as 'ny of them anywhere, and are doing
tfeir full share toward the success Of the
Irish cause. They are not demonstrative in
their patriotism, however; they do their
work quietly, but none the less ef1ec-
lively. They are furnishing the sinews Of
war to the leaders; making monthly contri-
! buttons to the various funds that are being
kept up and used each for specific pur-
pose. Onlya short time ago S2S were col
| leCted aud sent on to swell the fund that is
being raised in all parts Of the world for the
relief Of the widows and orphans of the
Irish men, who were convicted upon the
testimony of the informer Carey, of partici-
patton in the Phenix Park tragedy. and
executed by the British government Every
month contributions are made to the Par
nell fund and several other funds including
the dynamite fund. 1t is estimated that about
a thousand dollars goes from this city dur
ing year for these various purposes. But
this money is not contributed by any organ
ization, but by individuals Those Of
them who read the daily papers, deyour
with avidity everything relating to the
lrish cause. They keep themselves always
thoroughly posted with reference to every
detail Of the agitation that is in progress
against the English government, and when
ever call for aid comes it is responded to:
some one of them makes the rounds with q
subscription paper aud never fails to raise
twenty-five or fifty dollars on short notice,
which he sends on to those authorized to
receive it. We repeat, the Irshmen of
Cairo are quietly but effectively doing their
part in the IRISH war against oppressive
England.

MORE DEATH TRAPS

The details Of q most horrible FIRE at
Milwaukee are given in our dispatches
this morning. The heart sickens at the
recital. Probably 60 persons, men,
women and children, roasted to death or
crushed IN leaping to the ground from
fearful nights, in the desperate hope Of
escape from the torture Of the flames.
The hotel was a death trap. No fire
escapes. It was known that if it ever
took fire there would be just such loss Of
life and horror as have occurred, and no.
body doubted but that eventually the
building would probably be destroyed in
that way. But it is the same old story.
1t will be told again and again, until all
the old rookeries Of public buildings
without means Of exit for the occupants
shall have been consigned to the flames
with their precious sacrifice Of human
life. In the cause OF humanity all such
pitfalls should be destroyed beforehand
by the city authorities. The public had
better pay the tax Of such condemnation
and removal Of these murderous institu.
tions than endure a repetition OF yester-
days horror. And the lesson is but half
learned if the public authorities do not
see to it that all theaters, hotels and
other such structures in the future are
not made easy and safe OF exit.

MIR. ~BRTusEY's BILL.

Senator Brumsey of Storey has intro
duced a bill "to regulate primary cleo
tions and protect the same from fraud. "
Its purpose is to bring primary elections
entirely under the direction and control
Of law, and provides penalties adequate
to accomplish the end proposed. 1t is a
very wholesome act. The key to our
whole political system in Nevada is the
primaries. What comes afterwards is
determined by the primary election.
The entire general and inal election, of
which alone the statutes have hitherto
takon oognizanee, from Y. S, Senator to
Constable, is mapped out and deter.
mined by the primaries. The bsre.faced
fraud, repeating and bulldozing that have
characterized our primary elections, nota-
bly, last Fall, are a matter Of common
notoriety. The effect of the passage of
Mr.. Brumsey's bill will be to purify the
elective franchise in its very source. 1t
will be gratifying to all who love a clean
vote to have Senator Brpmsey's bill be-
come a law.

The present State Constitution OF Ne
va6a should be amended. The necessity
Is urgent. There should be nc delay IN
determining what is to be done in the
matser, The method of revising the
Constitution should be taken under con-
s;3eration at once. The Legislature
should discuss now, before the jam comes
and while there is ample leisure for de-
liberation, whether it will be more eNpe-
dent to have the revising done IN con-
vention or by legislative amendments
submitted to the people for approval
The SENTINEL has had no doubt but the
best way Of revision is by a Constltu'
tional Convention. Men to do this work
shouId be chosen with reference to their
qualifications for it; and while engaged
u9on it their minds should be occupied
with no other public duty. This propo'
si.ion hardly anybody will deny. The
Legislature nov in session was elected
without any regard whatever to the con-
tingency OF having this great and delicate
work to do. The only objection that
has been, or can be. urged against the
holding of a Constitutional Convention
Is the expense that it would involve,
which, ia the present condition OF our
State finances, might be too heavy a
burden to bear. The cost of the conyen-
ton has been variously estimated from
$50, 900 to an amount almost fabulous
when practically considered. After con-
siderable reflection in the premises the
SENTINEL has become satisfied that Il
Constitutional Convention need not cost
more than ) 1000. This amount, when
compared with the great advantages to
be derived from a revision OF the Constl-
tuition in the only safe and proper way,
is insignificant, let Nevada be ever so
poor. What need IS there for a great
number Of revisers: len or fifteen dele
gates can DO the work required in about
two weeks, as well as, if not better, than
fifty. The old Constitution could be
taken as a basis. Simply amend those
portions requiring amendment, and then
submit the whole thing for ratification.
The systems relating to both State and
county governments should be ~remodeled,
simpliied and cheapened. Oar State Is
then, and could and should be, made a
model Of cheap government. Fewer
officers and more work for those retained.
The recent registration Of voters could
be made applicable to the election OF
delegates 10 a Constitutional Convention,
and the new Constitution could be sub
mitted to the voters for ratification at a
general election without additional ex-
pense. Ii the present bigh-pressure
system is ever to be changed, it is time
TO commence.
If, however, the SENTINEL is wrong in
its views with regard to a Constitutional
Convention, then suitable amendments
looking 70 the ends suggested should be
framed and nut IN course OF adoption by
the present Legislature. One OF the two
things should be done Immediately,
