A GOVERNMENT PENITENTIARY.
where all persons convicted of United
States OtfenseS could be confined, is strongly
urged. Such convicts, he says, could be
employed for the government, which work
would assist in making the institution self
sustaining. He also suggests the propriety
OF erecting on the grounds adjoining the
department of justice proper building for
the accommodation in addition to that de-
partmental OF the supreme court and other
proper courts and commissions of the
United States. The attorney general
makes number of other recommendations,
among which are the following:
That the fees of marshal in Montana, Idaho
and Wyoming be doubled; that the salaries of
marshals be revised; that the compensation
of the United States attorneys in New Mexico
and Arizona be increased, and that the COM
pensation of clerks of the United States court
in California be reduced; that attorneys and
marshals be required to make returns by
fiscal instead of calendar years; that the ac-
counts of chief supervisors of elections be
taxed In open court under the inspection of
the district attorneys; that the penalty for
the punishment of persons resisting officers
be made more severe; that increased pro-
Visions be made for the protection of United
States witnesses and that a suitable United
States jail be built at Fort Smith, Ark
The report closes with brief statement
of the Union Pacific railway litigation and
says that motion will be filed by the gov
ernment in the supreme court in few DAYS
to advance the appeals on the dockets so as
to have speedy determination of them.
The attorney general adds that the motion
will doubtless be granted and the matter
be disposed of at an early day.

How Germans Vote.

A striking feature Of the German mu'
nicipal system Is its entire Independence
or national politics. No issues but those
arising out Of municipal questions are
allowed to influence the civ elections.
Every male inhabitant - years Of aye
has q right TO vote on municipal ques-
tions, provided that he has his own
household aud Is not dependent on father
or mother; that he has not received aims
from the public funds within twelve
years that he has paid all municipal
dues that he occupies house or pursnes
trade with two employees; that he pays
an income tax or . class tax. Under one
or another Of these five conditions all In
dustrious persons IN the city are includ-
ed That all votes should count equslly
is regarded as unhisiness-like. The ar
rsngeinent adopted 10 meet this point OF
view 10 this: Voters are divided into
three classes, each OF which elects one
third Of The city council. To the hrst-
class are assigned so many of the largest
taxpayers rs psy one-third Of the taxes
assessed; to the second IS many ~ IN
The aggregate pay the second third ri
tha taxes. 10 The third class belong all
not included in the first and second.
Esch at The three classes elects ~ men,
hers OF the council. its influence upon
questions OF finance being kept In sfrict
e4uality with ifs tax payments. The
city council of Berlin has long been con-
spicnous for the educational and hmsn-
cial standing Of its members. Election to
il is accounted an honor to which the
ablest men i'm the city aspire.

An Active Eruption fn Progress
Sixty Miles from bishop Greek.
The item given below may be true, and
1t may be not. We find it in the Virginia
Evening Chronicle. It is as follows:
News reached Candelaria from Bishop
Greek yesterday that on Sunday a volcano
had burst forth in the mountains 60 miles
southwest Of Bishop Greek. A party OF
frightened sheep herders rode into the
place yesterday morning. They we're COW
cred with dust and ashes and had numer-
GUS holes burned in their clothing. They
reported that on Saturday they were
startled by IN unusual rumbling noise and
trembling of the ground. At first they
mistook the noise and rumble for thunder,
but 1t was quickly followed by a tremen-
dous explosion, and On looking up they
were appalled, at seeing o mountain not far
away belching forth a column OF flames
and smoke several hundred feet in hight.
The air was soon filled with fiery cinders
and hot ashes which came down upon them
in clouds.
The a~ffrighted men Immediately drove
their sheep to a place of safety and rode to
the nearest settlement with the startling
news. Several parties have started from
Candelaria and Bishop Greek for the scene
of the eruption, which is near the deserted
town of Mammoth, described in the Chron-
icle q few days ago. The bright pink glow
observable in the southwestern horizon
the past two nights doubtless has been
caused by the eruption.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. ia sensation
was caused to-day by the bold robbery Of
the San Jose Safe Deposit Bank of Savings
this afternoon. A man entered the bank,
obtained a bill Of exchange for $65 so.
The cashier and manager we're in the bsnh
at the time. A few minutes after the
stranger departed the cashier, John E.
Auzerais, missed q tray containing $40, 00O
in gold in twenties. An alarm was imme.
diately given and search made. but with
out result. It is believed that two or more
men were engaged in the theft; that while
the attention of the bank officers was en-
gagged by the men In front, others slipped
in by the side counters and stole the
money. The bank offers 81, 900 for the
capture OF the thieves or the money.

A Party Going Down TO Examine
Joe Williams Mine.


Hank Donnelly and Con Riley are expect
ed daily to arrive from San Francisco.
While below recently P. N. Hansen ar
ranged with them to come up and go with
him to look at Joe Williams mine in Erie
berg District, about 100 miles south Of Eu-
reka. The mine is said to be q very prom
ising property. II il suits them the parties
named will organize q syndicate 10 pur-
chase it. The mine carries smelling ore
in large quantities. There was considers
BILE work done on the Frieberg mines in
about the year 1872. Judge Good
win, now OF the Salt Lake Tribune
commenced the construction OF
furnace there, built roads and die
much outside work, but had I,
abandon the enterprise for tho lack o
capital. Most Of those who had mine
there left at about the same time. j..
Williams, OF Hot Greek, and the Ems
brothers, however, have been doing some
thing at intervals on their mines down &
the present time. They now hav
their property pretty well DEVELOPS
and it makes a very fine showing
There is a strong probability tina
the proposed visit will lead to q sale. Mr.
Hansen has secured a team and has every
thing packed for the journey. He onl,
awaits the coming of the San Francisc
parties. They will go by the way of Ho
Creek end expect to remain q week at Oh
mines. 1t will look like old times to sc
Hank Donnelly in this neck OF woods. Tn
SENTINEL hopes that the Frieberg prop
erty will be found sufficiently attractive +
justify him in taking hold Of ii with hi
old time energy and enterprise in mininI
matters.
