That Screpade.

We understand there is q "new Rich
mond in the field" in the shape of a new
musical society, or Brass Band, or String
Band, or wind band or, or--somcthins.
We don't exactly know what. On last
Sunday night. inst as the town clock was
Ginning the hour Of twelve, and weary
with onr days labor Va turasl .lown esr
llsfsdadts Gnd good morpheus was
1htly entwining his arms around our
fielding form, our ear was greeted with a
fullest sound mnch resembling the Gu
phodious voice Of q retired coffee mill on
half pay. Oh!horror Of horrors! was il
the deep voiced centinel in, the church
tower warning rs that the fire tends had
again visited US : or was it the tinkiiup
cow bell notifying us that our garden rate
had been left ajar anil some bovine mar.
ander was eating our oabbages : We know
not. Tho fearful nose ceased and We
wero left in solitude to brood oyor the
mysterious. We cannot vouch for the
truth Of the ru,nor heard next day chat it
was sorena.le, and that tho .i.n,ar.a
tlal serena',en had visited every young
lady in town and some otAers on the occa-
sion.
We hope they got some jelly cake.

The question naturally suggests itself,
Why does the Republican party, or its
organ, the Associated Press. desire to
begin the political campaign of 1884 on
the ''4th Of August, 1882"
This date, as intimated in the SENTINEL
yesterday, was agreed upon At head
quarters of the Associated Press, 1875
Broadway, New York, headquarters, for
the occasion, of the bosses of the Repub-
lican party, also for the simultaneous
publication, as news, of an address by
the National Union League issued on the
oath of last March.
The people of the United States, it is
supposed, will read this address in many
. city and hamlet tomorrow morning In
der the heading Especial dispatch"
A portion of thetown Of Eureka has had
the benefit of the address already. This
part of the world will therefore not be
startled tomorrow by this FIRST gun Of
the campaign" fred by the Associated
Press on behalf of the Republican party.
It is not to our taste to say the Re.
publican party. We should rather say
those whom the good men Of this party
of our neighbors allow to misreprssent
them.
It 10 the same old story. It is the
same argument that everybody is familiar
with, only made this time with more
than ordinary ingenuity. 1t is q speciou'
appeal to the prejudices Of those who, i
is presumed, will be forever moved BY
appeals to partisan prejudice. 1t dig
up dead things and flaunts the blood,
shirt.
This is 40 far all tolerable and to be ex'
pected.
But it is not consistent with reason t.
expect that such an address will NEE
with favor at this time, emanating from
the telegraph bosses who declare them
selves the incorporating enemies o
the laboring classes.
Will the workingmen of the Republi

Associated Press, Jay Gould and others
who, at this very moment, are striving t.
deprive the telegraph operators OF tn
United States of the rights that mature
gives them, the privilege Of earning
human living by toll? We believe not
Our respect for the masses of the Rupub
lican party will not allow us to believe it
It looks as though they are expected
to allow themselves to be bridled by
monopoly and made to do its bidding b,
coercion.
"Whom the gods would destroy the,

The bosses of the Republican party arr
mad to expose their hands SO early. A
short campaign would have been better
for them. In their insanity they prefer

a distribution Of money and provisions to

earthquake was felt on the island last even

Tins. 1t is believed that some Of the per-
sons buried under the falling buildings at
the time Of the earthquake are still alive

Nearly all the lines under the sea have
been made by English workmen, bought
with English money, and laid down by
English engineers. The capital Of the
three companies reaching from London
to the countries Of the East represents

cables. The English companies own
5000 miles, against 10000 owned by
others, Of the cables between Europe and

longer without arousing a popular pro-
test and indignation which the telegraph
company will find itself unable to resist.
On the whole the situation appears to be
decidedly more favorable to the strikers
than to the companies, as the difficulties
and endorsements Of the latter must
increase far more than those Of the
former by q prolongation Of the strike.
Meanwhile public opinion is growing in
favor of the operators.

LA FEES.

Judah Benjamin, who has just retired
from the English bar. probably received
as large an income from his profession as
any lawyer in Great Britain or in the
United States. His fees for several
years must have reached about 500, 0OO
annually. There is probably no lawyer
in the United States whose income from
his profession averages more than half oil
