of June, and caused nearly $500
deaths in two months. It attacked
Albany, Philadelphia, Baltimore

Southern cities with fearful results.
Business was almost suspended and
the land was filled with fear over
this strange and remorseless plague.
The next visitation was in 1S49

again, when it was especially ma

came to New York from Egypt via
GarselIIeS and HaVre, and from the
first named city spread in every
Iii ection along the lines of travel,
through the United States. During
this epidemic 10000 lives were lost,
1900 dying in the larger cities in
september, October and November.
The only time since then that it has
been here was in 1873, as mentioned.

The United States have many times
been visited by the scorrge, and
each time it carried off many
thousands Of victims. The last time
that it came was in 1873 when it
prevailed generally throughout the
southern cities, and was said to be
more terrible in its raYages than The
yellow fever, which IS here every
year or two. Perhaps the worst
visitation from cholera th this
country has ever had was in 1910.
when it was brought in German
emigrant ships, and rapidly spread
to all river towns and landings on
the Mississippi and Ohio, as far as
Cincinnati, where there were 6,OO0
deaths. 1t was in that year that it
was carried across the plains To
California, following the overland
trail, and carrying off the gold
seekers by hundreds; more than
1000 persisted on the road. Over
5000 persons died from it in ST

Would it not be a timely and. whole
some thing for the Legislature of Nevada
to enact a law requiring all houses of
public assemblage to be provided with
ample fire escapes? Since the meeting
OF the Legislature of 81, two years ago,
some very melancholy disasters have
happened in Europe and America, from
which it seems we cannot fail to learn a
useful lesson. The burning of the death
trap" in Milwaukee stands out before
our minds with all its horrors. Are
there such murderous edifces in Nevada,
in which men, women and children meet
in large and helpless masses, who would
be roasted alive or trampled to death in
case Of a panic? Ii there are such
buildings the proprietors of them should
be required to render them perfectly safe
in case of excitement or FIRE by the pro-
vision Of the amplest fire escapes. II
this cannot be done, it would be better
for the community in which any saoh
fire trap is allowed to exist to pay the
owners of it a big price for it and raze it
to the ground, for in all human proba-
bility there will come a fire and a panic
in the course of time, maybe directly,
maybe only after many years, that will
destroy in the most horrid way human
lives, any one of which is worth all the
old ''death-trap' theaters and other pub
lie buildings in the whole United States.
The law proposed prevails in the large
States Of the East, and will in the future
save many from the most awful destruc-
ton. Life is as precious in Nevada
as anywhere else in the world, and, un-
less we are much mistaken, it is in
as much danger here as in those commu-
mites in which it is hedged about with
safeguards.

ment.
SPECIAL TO THE sKNTINEL.I
LONDON, Feb. 3.-While the English
and Orange journals proclaim the cases
against the men arrested in Dublin proved,
Irish opinion remains suspicious. The
evidence of Ionic, the second informer,
differs in many material points from that
of Farrell. Ionic testified to the existence
of a vigilance committee, and Farrell to
the existence of an assassination circle.
The object of the organization being de-
scribed by Ionic as assassination. In
former Farrell said it was organized for
the murder of Crown officials. Ionic
swore that he expected no reward. The
girl Carroll gave her testimony in a flip
pant manner. Her testimony conficted
with that of the second Grown witness
Connolly. She maintained that it was
Joseph Brady who used the sword on
Field, while Connolly swore it was used by
Timothy Kelly, another of the prisoners.
The female witness also declared that she
had not spoken to her parents of the mat
ter on the night of the attempt on Field.
The full evidence bears apparent marks of
having been manufactured, and it is be-
lieved that the long remands demanded by
the Grown lawyers were to give time to
complete manufacturing, and in the
hope that some of the prisoners might be
induced to inform. The Government
wishes to keep up the excitement, which
serves its present purposes admirably.
The prisoners here have been refused to
receive visits from their relatives, to which
they are entitled under the provisions Of
the new Prison Act, inserted at the demand
of Parnell, and strongly opposed by Spen-
Ger when the measure was before the
House. The English Liberal opinion for
the moment was bitterly anti-Irish, and
their confidence in their strength was in
creased by Tory disunion and ~incapacity,
which is exposed by stupid Tory writer's in
the journals.

The Wrecked steamer Tacoma.

SAN Francisco. Feb. 3.-Later news
from the wrecked steamer Tacoma leaves
the fate of those remaining on board still
doubtful. The second mate had charge on
deck when the ship struck, but neither
saw nor heard the breakers until the ship
went on the sand. The ship was supposed
to be well off the shore, and the only
theory in explanation Of the disaster is a
possible arrangement of the compass. The
night was dark, but not foggy.
An Empire City dispatch says the steam
tug Fearless has arrived from the wreck
of the Tacoma. Nine of the crew are lost,
and the first assistant engineer, Grant,
died after getting ashore. The ship is
completely broken up and nothing can be
saved from the wreck. Five bodies were
recovered. Nothing can be seen of the
wreck but the top of the cylinder at low
water. Seven men were lost off the fore
yard when the mast went overheard.
Continuance of Injunction.
San Francisco, Feb. 3.-By consent of
the plaintiff, in the suit Of Thade VS.. the
Bullion Mining Company ct al, the in
junction has been modified so as to permit
the assessment sale to take place on the
9th instant, as advertised. The number
of shares delinquent is SO small as to rem
der a continuance Of the injunction as to
the sale of nc moment; therefore the
plaintiff consented to modification of the
injunction. In other respects the i%njunc-
ton remains in full force until determined
by the Courts.
Arrested for Forgery.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.-Charles D.
Bunker, Commissioner of immigration, a
State appointive Office, was arrested last
night on three warrants, each charging
him with felony, in appropriating to his
own use sums collected as fees Of Office
and due the State, a~ggregating S22, 900.
Bunker furnished bail in SIS, 900. His
Office has been the subject OF investigation
by a legislative committee. Bunker and
his friends claim that a full investigation
will show that there has been no misap-
preparation.

MENT.

Assemblyman Hardin has introduced
a bill to reapportion Senators and
members Of the Assembly among the
several counties of the State, as follows:
Storey County, two Senators and six As
semblymen; Lander County, one Senator
and two Assemblymen; Humboldt Coun-
tv, one Senator and two Assemblymen;
Washoe County, one Senator and two
Assemblymen; Esmeralda County, one
Senator and two Assemblymen; Eureka
County, two Senators and three Assem-
blymen; Eiko County, one Senator and
three Assemblymen; White Pine County,
one Senator and two Assemblymen; Lin
coin County, one Senator and two AS
semblymen: Lyon County. one Assem-
blyman; Douglas County, one Assembly
man; for the counties of Lyon and
Douglas, one Senator, to be elected by
the joint ballots of the said counties;
Nye County, one Assemblyman; for the
counties of Nye and Churchill, n Sem
ator and one A~ssemblyman, each to be
elected by the joint ballots OF the said
counties.
This reduces the number of legisla.
tors to 45-l4 Senators and 81 Assem-.
blymen-just three times more than are
needed. We want about Is members
of the Legislature-5 Senators and 10
Assemblymen, and then the sessions
should be once in six years; at any
rate, not oftener than once in four
years. That We are too much legs
lated for is plain. In many instances
the old laws are as good as, If not bet
ter than, the acts %amendatory or taking
the place of them. The population OF
Nevada is a mere handful and the idea
of maintaining a multitude OF wise
men who often disturb "well enough"

Nor is there any fun in it for the people
who have to foot the bills and put up for
the fiddler. Why take biennial nibbles

THE

President Eliot of Harvard says that
''the decline of the ministry is a recog-
nized fact OF the last few decades" In
the last century clergymen made II e
third Of all the educated people, and
welded an influence proportionately
great. To-day all but one in nineteen of ths
graduates Of Harvard and all but one in
thirteen Of the graduates of Yale avoid
the ministry. He points out that one
reason for this neglect of the pulpit is
intellectual bondage to which a young
clergyman is obliged to submit by adopt
ing at the start some carefully hedged
creed, which cannot be stretched much,
and from which he cannot vary during
the whole of his life without breaking
from beloved associations and exposing
himself to reproach. The physician,
the scientist, or the statesman may
change his opinions, but clergyman
never. Lawyers and journalists grow by
sharp competition with others Of their
kind, but the clergyman is the unan-
swered man, with no one to directly dis.
pute the truth of his statements and
hold him to proof" The Harvard Presi-
dent insists that a more varied training
is necessary for a minister. He should,
as a preliminary work in the college
course, obtain an accurate knowledge
of Greek and Hebrew for exegesisj
Latin and German for the sake of the
valuable works in those languages: politi-
cal economy, to aid him in charitable and
reformatory work, and in oountersoting
the natural tendency towards sentimental
charity; should scan the important peri
DDS of history; make himself. familiar
with English literature and some one OF
the sciences to give him certain habits of
thought that come only through their
study; and also study nature''a sober
love for which is akin to love to God and
love to man."
