hcEihone, chief OF the corps Of Off
cial reporters Of the house OF representa-
tves, is a man Of a great deal OF Gull
ture. who has a remarkable library. Ho
probably reads moro than any man con-
nected with the house Of representa-
tivee. Among tho curiosities Of his
library he has a great many rare books
upon the profession Of shorthand, in
which he is so greatly skilled. He re-
ceived recently from one Of tho statea .
request to aid in furnishing them infor-
nation as to the history Of short hand,
and he has OF late been consulted, with
the same object in view, by shorthand
societies in Europe. Speaking upon this
subject the other day McElhone said:
The shorthand writer's OF our day arc
mistaken in thinking that they are the
masters of a new art. Short hand is
centuries old. 1t was All art known in
early Roman history. Tho Catholic
ounci from a very early time were re-
ported in short hand. There was n
period in the history of England when
the art of short hand writing was \ part
OF the education Of every gentleman.
Pepys' diary was wholly written In
short hand, and had to be translated be-
fore it was published"
L was talking some time ago with an
other one of them most experienced stem
ographerS at the national capital. He
said: Shorthand is an art. Public men,
however, seem to think that anybody can
write short hand. and they sometimes
say it LIS mere mechanical work. / have
given twenty-five Of the best years Of
my life TO this art, and am learning
something TO this hour. Seldom a day
passes that I do not discover something
new about the intricacies and subtleties
OF stenography. There b another thing
about short hand that Is not generally
understood. A man of bad or irregular
habits a not bea permanently success

profession depends upon the nerves,

THE EXECUTIVE CONFLICr.

The caucus Of Republican Senators
has decided to urge the Senate to reject
nominations made for vacancies by sus.
pension whenever the demand for docu-
ments IL the case ON file in the public
Departments shall be refused. "The
right of the Senate to demand such pa.
pers seems to us to be incontestable."
says Harper's Weekly, "but it has never
been its practice to require them under
such circumstances, and it would not
make the demand now if the President
were not a Democrat.
"The only reason to doubt that in this
contest the popular sympathy will be
with the President lies in the fact that
many changes have been made by the
heads of Departments in various branches
Of the public service, which cannot be
satisfactorily explained. 1t is by the
small local appointments in every part of
the country that an Administration is
judged. and the removal Of q good officer
without evident and adequate reason
justly alienates public sympathy.
"The conflict is inherent in the Con.
stitution, and as President Cleveland is
a man of entire sincerity, strong convic.
tiohs. and indexible courage, he will not
probably abandon his position. If the
Senate should reject nominations made
to fill vacancies by suspension, the
suspended officer would not be restored,
and the official duties would be dis.
charged by the officer whom the law
d~esignates to discharge them in case Of
the inability Of the superior. WI greatly
regret the contest, because we have no
doubt that public knowledge of the rea.
sons for suspensions and removals would
tend to elevate the standard of the pub.
lie service, and to restrict removals to
those for good cause only"

How long will the natural gas Of West
ern Pennsylvania last is the question
now asked by the press and people of the
country. The inference might be drawn
that it is likely to last for ever, or that
the supply is infinite. The facts are,
however, that the gas occurs in very
limited areas, though probably not SO
limited as petroleum; but being a com.
pressible fluid, it will take longer to ex.
haust a given field. Prof. j. P. Lesley
puts it as follows: "As gas is a direct
product Of petroleum by spontaneous
evaporation, the life of the gas produc.
tion will be limited by the amount Of the
volatile elements held in q definitely
limited quantity Of petroleum existing
under grounds; and, therefore, those who
are producing aud using this enormously
valuable mineral substance should take
every precaution to prevent its waste,
seeing that it is bound to come to an
end"

FACTIONS IN COMMUNITIES

During these times of depression IN
Nevada the meanest and most contempt
ible man is he who, through some petty
feeling or spite, throws every possible
obstacle in the way of a neighbor who
has devised means for the working or
sale of a mining property. We say
"these times" for if there has ever been
a period when every citizen and every
community in the State should stand to-
gether on propositions that would result
in common good it is the present. Every
now and then the SENTINEL hears Of tine
doings Of pulling" and ~"hauling fac
tions in several OF our best camps and
towns. What there is gained by such
actions, unless it is personal spite, we are
unable to see. The mining communities
of the West, and especially of Nevada,
have the reputation of having as citizens
more liberal.minded men in proportion
to their population than any other towns
in America. If this be true, why would
it not be we'll for these superior citizens
to take the quarrels of these spiteful fac
tions intdfheir own hands and see that
they are properly settled. True. this is
hardly in accordance with American
ideas, but would it not be better than to
have two or three or a half dozen men
keep in statu quo a mining section full
of promising properties! Law is prob.
ably our best mediator between right
and wrong, but such a course often con-
sumes years Of time, and incurs serious
loss not alone to those directly engaged
in the trouble, but to the community at
large. Where differences can be settled
without law or violence it is certainly
best for those even remotely interested.
Reason is mighty and will oftentimes
prevail when other sources prove fruitless.
In penning the above we make no
special illusions to any one town or camp
in the State. If reports that we hear
concerning several localities be true, its
application is general. Cease "pulling "
and "hauling," and progress. Times are
too dull and life is too short.
