GEORGE pENDLErON JOHNSON.


George Pen johnson, for a long time
editorially connected with the San Fran
cisco Examiner, and well known to every
old Californian, died Tuesday evening at
San Francisco, in the 5Sth year of his
age. He was a native of Kentucky, and
came to this State from Mississippi, of
which he had been for some time a resi-
dent, in 1850. He had been a member
Of the Legislative Assembly, was also at
one period United States Marshal for
California and held other offices of honor
and trust. The duel between johnson
and State Senator /. w. Ferguson, which
took place on Angel Island, resulting in
the death of the latter from being shot in
the hip, is one Of the noted incidents Of
unfortunate encounters between parties
who had before been warm friends.
Public opinion at that time. generally
censured the seconds in the affair. 1t
ruined the political career of johnson,
who was a man of brilliant abilities, and
had it not been for this tragedy would
have doubtless attained high politica
honors. In private life he was genia
and delightful as a conversationalist.

NOT A UNIT.

Our Republican friends in Nevada do
not seem to be a unit in their politics.
Their United States Senator appears to
trouble some of them while Others OF
them never tire in sounding his praise.
While the Reno Journal, for example,
eloquently whoops him up for a leader,
the Reno Gazettesdoes not enthuse for
him worth a cent. We rather doubt,
says the latter, if Senator Jones would
represent the sentiment of the State any
better than he did when he went to Chi
cago to work for Grant, or voted with
Conkling and Platt in the Senate.
While we do not share in the enthu.
siasm of our neighbors for Blaine, yet
we recognize the fact that he is the
choice Of Nevada. and such being the
case. the people are very foolish if they
do not have q delegation in harmony
with them. II the matter ID left to run
itself. the machine will take hold of it,
and beyond doubt the machine is for
Arthur. Before the convention is held
this fact will com out very strongly.

THE e

The best Republicans are those who
are most persistent in promoting the
success of the arty.-Carson Tribune.
The best Republicans and Democrats are
those who are most persistent in pro.
noting the interests Of the people, and
who regard the question of party success
as secondary to the attainment Of that
object.-Times. Review.
The best citizens are those who think
for themselves in politics and vote with
sole reference to the good Of the com
munity. They stand between the two
parties and shift the control Of the Gov
eminent from one to the other. They
are the essential element in a true Re-
public. 1t is they who disinfect the
''pool" occasionally. Were not the bal
ance of power in their hands, a mon
archy outright would be preferable.
They are not strong enough to make.
but they grow stout enough periodically
to break down. a corrupt party. They
will have Q chance for good work next
Fall.

TlEDEN.

The man for the Democrats to nomi-
nate is unquestionably one who can GER
tainly carry New York. And while we
believe any candidate the convention
would probably nominate would stand a
favorable chance to get the electoral
votes of that State, we do not think it
the part of wisdom to rely upon posi-
bilities, nor wei probabilities, when GER
~tainties are surely within our reach.
Who then can certainly secure the elec-
toral strength of the Empire State? The
man whose name comes most readily to
mind in answer to this question is Samuel
J.. Tilden, the patriot statesman. the
wise executive, the consummate leader,
who has suffered in accomplishing silence
the greatest wrong ever inflicted upon
any American by his countrymen. Ii
Mr.. Tilden were younger, though there
is good leather in him yet for two Presi-
densial terms at least, or had he greater
physical vigor to undertake the herculean
labors Of the campaign, no others name
would have been mentioned by the Dem
ocrats along with his. His name is in
spiration itself, however, and, If neces-
sary, he may stay quiet at Gramercy
Park, and there will be a thousand act
i've Generals ready to put themselves
under his command and lead the popular
host to victory. He has said he will
yield to the peoples demand to be the
standard bearer of the Democracy. Now
will this party be swelled by a fresh
army of Independents and honest Repub-
licans, who will rally about him as one
man.
Tilden's great experience in public
affairs, his wisdom and his nerve to cut
down thieves, backed by his splendid
achievements in New York City and
State in the cause of clean government,
are the characteristics and certificate
that we most need for the Presidency of
the United States.

CORRECT.

Corruption with us wins more than
honesty. Men barter their honor and
women their virtue. Homes are wrecked,
and loving hearts are crushed for ignobie
ends. The United States, notwithstand-
ing the inspiration of its magnificent
past. will be soon without hope IN the
future. unless there be a change for the
better in both private and public moral
ity.-Enterprise.
What we need for practical reform is
Democratic simplicity and honesty in
public as we'll as in private life.

PACIFIC COAST ADvICES.
ESPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.l
Great Storm in California.

SAN Francisco, March 10.-Sunday and
yesterdays rainstorm was the heaviest fol-
years. Santa Clara Valley was inundated
for a distance of IS miles, by two miles in
width. The South Pacific Coast Railway
ia washed out in two places. On the
Southern Pacific, near Gilroy, the track
il washed out, but both roads can be
quickly repaired if the rain ceases. All
the country in the neighberhood of Oak
land is flooded. Reports from other
points around the bay show that the land
is under water. At Marysville the Feather
and Yuba rivers were rising, and had
reached the 14-foot mark. At Stockton a
large area of the plains east of the city is
under water from 20 to rs feet. At Wheat
land, Bear river was higher than it had
been for three years.. but last accounts re-
| port it falling. The report is OF heavy
| rains and that the overflow of the lower
part of the city is imminent. News from
Clifton, Arizona, states that the Southern
Pacific track is badly washed out at several
places and that all the bridges across the
San Francisco river are washed away.

YOU HEAHME sAH.

Col. Visscher, Of Denver, who Is de-
livering his lecture, "Sixty Minutes
in the War; tells a good story on
himself Of an episode, or something Of
that nature, that occurred to him in
the days when he was the alnanuensis
Of George d. Prentice.
VisseheF, In those days, was a fair
haired young man, with pale blue
eyes, and destitute Of that wealth Of
brow and superficial area Of polished
dome which be now exhibits on the
rOstrum. He was learning the lesson
Of life then, and every now and then
be would bump up against Rn Oetag-
Onal mass Of cold oppressed truth Of the
neverdying variety that seemed to
stun and eOncuss him.
One day Visscher wandered into a
prominent hotel In Louisville, and
observing with surprise and pleasure
that "bOiled LOBSTER was one Of the
delicaeits on the bill Of fare, he or
dered one.
He never had seen lobster and a rare
treat seemed to be in store for him
He breathed in what atmosphere there
was in the dining room, and waited
for his bird. At last it was brought
In, Mr.. Yisscher took one look at the
great scarlet mass Of ToluptuOus limbs
and oceanic nippers, and sighed. The
lobster was a. large as q door mat, and
had very angry and innaTned ap-
peaFance. NisscheF ordered IN q pow
erful cocktail to give him courage, and
then he tried 70 carve some Of the
breast.
The lobster is hOnery even IN death.
He iseccentric and trifiing. Those who
know him best are the first to eyade
him and shun him. Visscher had

his fork properly, and the talented

Of the platter, waved itself across the
horizon twice, and buried itself In the
bOsome Of the eminent and talented
young man. The eminent and tai
ented Young man took Il in bis napkin,
putt carefully on the table, and went
away.
AS he passed out the head waiter
said:
