THH Democratic fold is peaceful and
calm and Governor ireland will be re-
nominated by an overwhelming majority
in the convention. He is practically
without competition in the race for the
first place on the ticket and is the only
candidate since the days Of 1876 when
Coke was nominated, who has enjoyed
such a distinction. The Gazette is
moved by the situation to remark; "Ire-
land is apparently master of the situa-
tlon and there are none bold enough to
shiver lance with him.. The situation
Is almost abnormal. II implies com
pliment, of satisfaction with and trust
In Ireland, that is Unprecedented in its

ernor's brow. If apathy 1t merits in

Last week the House passed a pension bill which includes those who served in the Mexican War and are living. There have been objections to the bill, but mostly of an immaterial nature. The principal features of the bill are: First, that every person who served three months in the United States army in any war, and who by reason of any wound or disease, "which there is prob able cause to believe originated in the service " is to be put upon the pension rolls. Second, par ents whose sons where lost in the late war in which the United States have been engaged, if without other means of support at present than their own manual labor, shall be pensiOned. Third, the government is not to inquire wh ether the disease for which a pension is claimed originated be- fore going into the service.- Citizen.

It seems as though Congress might without any particular violence to itself, come to some determination in regard to pen sioning Mexican War veterans. The bill has passed the House of Representatives, but the Senate has as yet failed to take action. Just what objection there is to the measure we fail to see. There are now comparatively few left of them, and the number is continually growing less; and it is no more than right that they should he rewarded for their Valor, the same as the hereos of the rebellion. It is true this will confer benefit upon many who participated in the rebellion. But even if this is anything of a valid argument, which we ques- ton, there is no reasonsin depriv- ing deserving men for the sake of working a spite against others. It is the old story of cutting off the nose 10 spite the face. Here in Yuma there are a number of these veterans, and the SEN TINEL would like to see them ob- tain what we believe to be their just right.

"Of course the mere suggestion of doing away with the Ynma penitentiary brings out a wall from the SENTINEL, as. were such thing to happen. the village of Yuma would be de- prived of its chief support, and SENTINEL would suffer in conse- quence."
 Such IS the closing sentence of an article Tn the Silver Belt, ad-
 vocating the abolition of the Territorial Prison. The whole article is a misrepresentation of facts, but the finishing touch is put on by the last words, which are too contemptible to be used by any respectable journal. The Belt has given up the idea of moving the prison to some other locality, but now advices that it he abandoned and the prisoners Harmed out"in some reformatOry institution outside the Territory. It is claimed that the convicts of New Mexico are kept in the Leaven worth prison at the rate of 30 cents per day-each. Perhaps that,iS true-and then perhaps it isn't. The Belt figures an enor- mus saving to the Territory, but allows only $100 as the cost of transporting the convicts. Now it is an acknowledged fact that it costs nearly $400 to take an insane person 10 Stockton from Arizona.
 Will it cost less to take a convict to Kansas, when extra guards
 have to be employed, as occurs in many cases? Even granting that the Belts figures are correct, (while in fact, we deny), is the logic still sound? It now costs SLIP per day to maintain con- vict in the penitentiary. This includes board, lodging, guard ing and the cost of the material from which the prison is built. All this while the Territory reaps the benefit of the convict's labor, which is no small item. In short, the prlson is being built at the cost of SLIP per day per man, ,and the material all furnished. What more could anyone ask as busi- ness proposiIiono Tn the course of a few years the prison will be completed. There will be no necessity for any more outlay for building material. The convicis can then be put at some work which will bring a return to the Territory. 1t is q childish argu- ment to refer to Eastern prisons, which have been established half century, and compare the cost per day Of each prisoner with that of Arizona. The Phoenix Herald shows that in some of the Eastern penitentiaries, the cost of keeping prisoners has been reduced to eighteen, twenty and twenty five cents per day. Well, what of that? Some of them are entirely self-supporting; others return levende to the State. 1 Does that argue that our prison will not in time do equally as well? Take another tack, breth- l ren of the press. Find some | new and more tenahle position from which to assail the prison. 1 We defend the peniten tiary, be- lieving it to be necessity, and | are not affected by the illman- nered extract with which this opens.

The Miseries of a Mean Man.

Some times | wonder what mean man
thinks about when he goes to bed. When
he turns out the light and lies down.
When the darkness closes in about him
and he is alone, and compelled to be honest
with himself And not a bright thought,
not general impulse, not manly act, not
ar word of blessing. not a grateful look,
comes to bless him again. Not penny
dropped into outstretched hand of poverty,
nor the balm of loving word dropped into
an aching heart; no sunbeam of encourage
ment cast upon struggling life; the
strong right hand of fellowship reached
out to help some fallen man to his feet
when none of these things come to him as
the "GOd bless YOU of the departed day
how he must hate himself and sleep on
the other side of the bed When the only
victory he can think of is some mean vic
tory, in which he has wrOnged neighbor.
No wonder he always sneeIs when he tries
to smile. How pure, fair and good all the
rest of the world must look to him, and
how cheerless and dusty must his own
path appear. Why, even one lone isolated
act of meanness is enough to scatter
cracker crumbs in the bed of the average
man, and what must be the feelings of a
man whose whose whole life is given up to
mean acts? When there is so much suf-
fering and heartache and misery in the
world anyhow, why do you add one pound
of wickedness or sadness to the general
burden? Don't be mean, my toy.
