Durbin Ward. in a recent inter

Durbin Ward, in a recent inter-
view in Washington, speaking of
the tendency ofthe two parties since
the war feeling has died out, said:
"The Republican party is a legiti-
mate heir of the old Federalists and
Wings. They Ire instinctively,
now that the old slave issues are
gone, the party ofmoney as against
men, and the Democratic party,
when the same issues are gone, is
instinctively the party of men
against money. The Republican
party is the natural ally of capital
and monopoly. The Democratic
party is the natural ally of labor.
The Republican party, therefore.
will naturally favor all measures OF
policy, financial, currency and
every other that shall strengthen
the hands of the monied interests.
The Democracy on the other hand:
will naturally support the rights Of
the laboring masses against the
concentration of capital in the
hands of the few. This is, as it al.
ways has been in every free coun.
try as to administrative policies, the
distinction between the parties
The one in Europe and America is
the aristocratic the other is the
democratic party. The one legis.
lates for property, the other for men
Now, this distinction between the
parties has been largely overlooked
for a quarter ola century but must
become prominent now that sec
tional issues are dead"

The Republicans expect to have
a majority in the Senate before this
session closes. The House will not
adjourn, according to the present
determination of the Republicans,
until the Senate Investigating Com
mittee shall have reported on the
Hamilton county contests and the

port. The Republicans expect to

man who has been appointed reg

Columbia in place of Frederick
Douglass. The entire people of the

years to eradicate their bitter pref

Mr.. Blaine, in the second volume
of his book, gives the following
description of Samuel J. Tilden as
a party leader, in which capacity
the political historian is most COM
petent to judge him: Adroit, in
genious and wary skillful TO plan
and strong to execute cautious in
judgment and vigorous in action /;
taciturn and mysterious as a rule,
and yet singularly open and frank
on occasions resting on the old
traditions, yet leading in the new
pathways; surprising in the force
of his blows, and yet leaving a
sense of reserve power, Mr.. Tilden
unquestionably ranks among the
greatest masters of political man.

The commissioner of internal
revenue says that the present year
will show a large increase of re-
ceipts in his department over last
year. The first six months showed
an increase of over 81, 100000, and
the second halfyear will show more
than that in all probability. Indi-
cations now are that there will be a
large increase about the LIST ofMay.
when the new annual licenses are
issued. The entire increase for the
year will without doubt be over 49,
100000. The prospects of internal
revenue are said to be an excellent
indication of a general revival Of
business, and a general improve.
ment is thought to be manifest in
many kinds of business. Enor.
nous capital that has been waiting
for employment is now moving. Il
is said that nearly all the railroads
are increasing their rolling stock, q
thing that has not been done fol
several years past. Beside this
thousands of miles of new roads
are to be built this year, and othel
thousands of miles are beingplann
ed. This of course, means the EN-
ployment of enormous capital ant
armies of men. The greatest thing
to be feared, it is said, is that thi'
new impetus may advance prices tt
such an extent hat there will be
general rush to production, and tn
old stagnation will result. The i'm
portant thing is that prices remain
about as they now are, and tina
speculation be held in check.

The N. Y. Star truly says: If
the workingmer would only stand
together as solidly on all political
issues affecting their interests as
they stood together in the recent
successful strike, what reforms in

plished! Labor is a giant which,
till now, has hardly knownit pow

possibilities it implies, labor should
no longer be the tool and play

Anew York INSURANCE company's
circular says that about two-sev-
enths of the fires in the United
States are caused by incendiarism.
Defective fues, Indifference to the
care of matches, using low grades
of oil, and many other seemingly
trivial matters are pointed out as
adding largely to making up the
balance. By close attention to these
suggestions, the number of fires
could be largely reduced.

The pension arreages bill should

The pension arreages bill should
not be adopted. 1t is not for the]
benefit of the soldier, but rather for
the benefit of pension sharks and
unworthy men. The Chicago Tri-
bume says:
"In sober fact, the pension grab
is increasing in dimensions that are
simply frightful. If the pending
legislation is contaminated, it
means a burden of taxation on the
people of which they have no COM
prehension, and which will startle
them when they realize its full ex-
tent. 4 4 4 Il To meet these colos-
sal obligations, aggregating prob
ably over $500, 100000 with an an
ualunincumbered surplus ofabout
$25,OO0,O00, simply means a hugh
deficit which must be met by an i'm
mense increase oftaxation, involv-
ing the possibility of the reimposi-
ton of the income tax. This is not
paying pensions; it is public rob-
berry. 1t is a shameless attempt to
squander the public money. 1t is
inspired, not by gratitude for the
services of soldiers, but by the de-
sire to obtain their votes. The
country appreciates the services of
it's soldiers, and has never failed to
compensate them. 1t has been more
liberal than any nation on earth in
paying pensions and it is prepared
to do what is just and equitable, but
it will not CONSENT to the squander-
ing of hundreds of millions of dol
lars, the most of which will go into
the pockets of pension sharks, upon
those who have no claims to arrears
and upon others who have no claim
of any kind"

A Washington special reports
that a gentleman who has recently
travelled through Canada declares
that he found a strong and grow
ing feeling in favor of annexation.
He had conversed while there with
fifty editors, and they all declared,
if the question of annexation could
be left to the people, it would re-
ceive an overwhelming vote. 1t is
certain that the Canadian people
are very anxious to receive recip-
rocal relations with us, ifthey could
negotiate their own treaties, there
is no doubt that very favorable
terms could be made for the Unit
ed States.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: 1t is the
boast of the Republicans that
when the United States treasury
was handed over to the Democrats
there was only a discrepancy of 2
cents, and that they were finally

did not embrace any account of the
Howgate swindle, the star route and
other innumerable steals. Now
comes the statement that ex-Presi-
dent Arthur is found to be $7,473.71
behind in his accounts made while
he was collector of the port of New

the piece was discharged. 1t being pointed at
the father he received the bullet in the lower
part of the abdomen on the right side above

Have succeeded in restoring mail ser
vice from Winnemucca to Paradise
Valley to six times weekly, beginning
July 1st. JAMES &. EAR.
The mail service between Winnie
mucca and Paradise. which had been
daily for some years, was reduced las
December to three times weekt
Doubtless Senator Fair would have
succeeded in having the order take
effect at once were it not that arrange.
ments have been made for carrying the
mail tri-weekly for this and the ensu-
ing quarter.
We hope Senator Fair will not for
get this part of his constituency.
There are four times the number
of people on the route between
Eureka and Phoebe that there arc be-
tween Winnemucca and Paradise, and
unless mail service, like kisses, go by
favors, the Senator should see that we
get daily mail over this line.

leading advertising mediums of the

have selected three papers which they
recommend To Eastern advertisers; the
Appeal, the Chronicle and the Senti-
mel. When Eastern advertisers util-
ize these three papers they consider
they have covered all Of the ground
in Nevada.
The above, from the'Carson Appeal,
must have brought sardonic smile to
the other editors of the Nevada press,
whose waste baskets are daily half
filled with rejected advertising propo-
stions from the above firm. 1t the
Appeals "blow" were true, which it is
not, it only shows that the papers
named are the most easily ana cheap

Sentinel are welcome to all the nutri-
ment there is in Eastern advertising
agencies. 1t wouldn't keep the office
