Already seventy five souls have been
converted TO God. They come from far

which is preached night after night 80
ably by Rev. w. w. Goodman, pastor of
tho church. Ho is young in years but
wonderfully filled with Gods grace and
power. We are glad to have Christian
men drop in from afar.

THE governor of Rhode Island shows
in his annual message an enormous in.
crease in the divorces granted in that
state, until, rs result Of the laXity of
the law and of its administration, the
divorces are nearly ten per cent. Of the
marriages. 1t is also observed that
among the foreign born population,
which is so zealously excluded from the
franchise, the divorce rate is relatively
very low so that the obvious conclusion
is that among the native born popula-
tion, who make the officials and the laws,
about one in six believes in and exercises
the privilege Of plurality of wives.
This conclusion is strengthened by the
exhibit of the census that Rhode Island
has an excess of 10000 female popula.
tion, whereas in Utah, where the
polygamy policy ispopularly supposed to
have the deepest root, there are q COR
respondingly less number Of women,
Long since it has been shown that
Rhode Island did not give its citizens
republican form of govern meut, in its
discrimination against naturali2ed
citizens who put their money into
government, bonds instead of lands
and factories; but now additional
cause is furnished for federal attention

Just what Mr. Quay means we are not
sure we would suspect it to be an accu.
sation Of some weakness or badness, but
for the fact that the Press is at present
working tamely in the Republican
traces and is entitled to Mr. Quay's
kind consideration Still if lie intended
to compliment it hc should have done SO
in plain English that its friends could
understand. Mr Quay's Latin charges
the Press with violent predisposition
of some kind, and we greatly fear that
1t is not predisposition to virtue. We
fear that it is tendency to stating lis
facts with slight regard to their founda
tion or forming its judgment with slight
attention to THEN proper grounds that
Mr.. Quay Critici5es In the Press. We
have suspicion tha! Mr.. Quay's ob5cy
vations in this regard are not greatly
at fault bat Mr.. Quay is rash
in intimating 20 lis party friends
that they should take what their
organ says, with liberal allowance
of salt. He should not thu discredit +,
We fear Mr.. Quay is becoming impru
dent, Heretofore he has been very shy
OF newspaper reporters; and now he
blossoms forth IN column 0f two of
talk on the political situation, and is
bold enough to say that he is in favor f

For graphic descriptions OF domestic
events, the actual holding up of the mirror
to nature, commend US to the unfettered
urchin from 5 to s years old. Yesterday
q gentleman of Eureka was visited by his
little son, who is 8 years old and past, and
whose appearance, as he stepped upon the
threshold OF his paternal's place of BUSH
ness, made it manifest that he had some
thing Of the last Importance to commune
cate.
Papa" said he, ''that big wild cat the
urchin referred to a large, but not wild,
female cat that had come and taken up her
abode in the cellar at home with the evil

laid q little cat in Jennie's ~oorsets, and
Jennie threw it out and then the big wild
cat took il in her mouth and ran into the
cellar with it, and Frank the dog ran
after her and took il from her, and he's
under the house now and he is just chew
ing ii up I"
The father expressed the proper and ex-
pected surprise and sympathy excited by
the stirring event at home, and the urchin
seemed partially restored to his ease.
He started to go home, but when be got
to the door he stopped, and. turning
around, said, with a world OF satisfaction
in his eyes and a happy look all over his
chubby face: But the old wild cat is

The SENTINEL publishes editorially this
morning an article from the New York
Times, which every one that wishes to be
informed on the vital questions Of the
pending campaign should read and digest.
1t gives a succinct history Of the Thur
man bill, which makes provision
for the payment Of the enormous
debt due by the Pacific Railroads to
the Government. Also. the discussion Of
the bill in the Senate goes far towards
showing what sort of a man OF the people
Mr.. Blaine is. 1t will be seen, in addi-
ton, that Mr.. Butler, the ideal Anti-Mo-
nopolist and working mans friend, was
one OF only two in the Lower House Of
Congress who voted in the negative on the
passage OF the bill. 1t is further
worthy OF both local and general
consideration that a bill passed the House

gress, a bill reported from the Committee
OF which Congressman Cassidy is Chair.

The best answer that we have seen to the

Cleveland and Hendricks are not on good

went ava displeased and disgruntled, is
the following paragraph from Mr.. Hen
bricks great speech at Indianapolis:

versation, l thought him in a marked de-
gree governed in his official life by his
convictions of duty. You do not expect
him TO escape criticism upon his official
life: that can hardly be the fortune OF any
candidate. Touching that, l believe his
motives have not been impugned nor his
honesty questioned. In respect TO his

disposition TO ~exsggerate. We believe that
We express only the general sentiment Of
ths community. He is thoroughly honest,
apsbls, entirely familiar already with the
business Of the Sheriffs Office, and there
Is no man in the county who car be relied
on TO discharge its duties with greater
credit 10 himself or with more satisfaction
10 the pubic than Mr.. Hill. Should he be

than Is q candidate Of the people. He will
be voted for without reference &c his poll
