THE time will soon be here that
will bring decision Of the county
seat question. From the start we
have treated this question not from
standpoint Of personal interest but
our duty as public journalist, and
laying aside our feelings Of locality
in our public treatment Of the ques-
tion, we have sought to allay and
keep down anlmosity and friction
and to have the matter considered In
that cool. practical business manner
which comports with the rules Of
business behavior and common sense.
We have only been interested to
have prejudice and all deception laid
aside. and let the people look at IL in
its naked merits, and decide upon it
with GOODNESS and calmness of judg-
ment. When the facts are laid be-
fore the people, stripped OF all sub
terfuge and passion, Of all exagera-
tion and Misrepresentation, II they
want to move their county seat why
let them move it. There is no pow
err to prevent them and no man can
object. But, II not, their will is SUI
preme, and ought to be supreme, and
it ought to be the delight Of every
fair man in the county to lend his
aid to have the question correctly
understood and q fair expression Of
the people upon it It would be q
righteous judgment that would bring
disaster to every attempt to gain adj
vantage on the part Of any man or
set of men who would seek to mYstl-
~ or mislead In matter like this.
The people can't afford to suffer
themselves imposed upon by any one,
II any there be so disposed. It Is q
fact beyond the province Of any man
to dispute, that the people are sim
ply talking about something which
belongs TO them, when they speak Of
the county seat. It :s peculiarly
theirs. 1t belongs to no section, and
the people are under no obligation
to this or any other place. The
plain facts are that the agitation Of
this question arises from consid
erations Of convenience, II not ofthe
whole people, . part ofthem II any
rate, and enough 70 secure 4 legal

In reduced taxation, flourishlng con-

The large increase in taxable proper

The verdict Of the jury in the trial
Of the Chicago anarchists cannot but
be highly satisfactory to every trus
American citizen. The case Was one
Of the most important in the history
Of the country, because it was the
first to deal with anarchy in its most
violent form, and the first to plainly
and explicitly assert the power Of
the law in America to protect the
persons and property OF citlzens.
The death penalty in the cases Of
seven OF those diabollcal miscreants,
and long term in prison for the
lesser criminal, is q result OF this
great trial that is credit to the
court. the jury, the prosecuting at-
torneys, and to the American people.
It is service to humanity. vindica-
ton Of the law, an assertion Of the
civil power IN a free republic to over
throw rebellion, conspiracy to MUIR
der and mob, violence, and to punish
the violators Of the supreme laws Of
of the land.
Tie thanks Of the order-loving,
peaceful, civilized and patriotic peo-
pie OF America will go out to the
court and the jury in the case, and
the prosecutors Of the condemned
fiends in Chicago. They have as
sisted in yindicating the law. pun

struck blow for American liberty

against giving the public domain

the protective tariff, and in favor Il
the free coinage Of gold and silvee
All men who believe in these doc.
trines joined the democrrtic party.
Their object was to put them into
practice in administering the officers
or the government, believing thereby
the welfare Of the whole people
would be best promoted. The his.
tory Of the party shows that they
were not mistaken. This govern.
ment was Ia the hands OF the demo:

This glorious end was achieved 10

reforms in the various departments
Of the government; has saved about

Its principles are wise, pure and

and organized to promulgate and
defend these principles. The or
ganization OF the democratic party,
from the townships up, is essential
to its perpetuation, and upon its per.
petuation depends the success Of

Almost at the foundation Of this
government, the democratic party
dates its beginning. 1t and It's pure
pnnciples have survived the rise and
fall Of many parties. The grand old
democratic party stands today erect
and clean, monarch of all she sur
veys. She will stand as long as our
glorious free government stands.
Jefferson wrote the Declaration OF
Independence, which all Americans
love and revere; and he is also the
author Of the fundamental principles
Of the democratic party, which are
In harmony with the fundamental
principles Of this government As
long as democrats love the principles

The Wheelers have had . great
deal to say about bosses and one
man power, They have sshowled''
about few men running things,
and putting tickets in the field. Let
us compare records. The very first
state ticket they have put in the
field wss nominated by q self CON
stltuted state central committee,
composed Of comparatively few men.
The Republican state ticket was put
|out by like committee, commanded
BY Powell Clayton and his leading
followers. The Democratic state
ticket was nominated and put in the
field by all the people Of The Demo
cratic party, who desired to have q
voice in making the selections. These
are plain unvarnishcd facts-facts
which no man or party can contro-
vert. Then every man who Is on
posed to one man power or to rings,
or TO . few men nominating tickets,
should vote for the Democrat party.
Every man who prefers party that
submits the names Of the candidates
for the party nomination, and all
other party questions 10 the people
composing the party. We are not
to Judge BY words and promises; we
are to be governed BIZ actual actions
Of the parties. The Democrat party
IS the only party whose nominees
were selected BY the voice Of the
people. The ticket was selected by
delegates elected and instructed by
the votes Of the people Of their party,
while the Wheel and Republican
nominees were selected by Clayto
and McCracken, Carl Lee and a few
Of their kind. Let us deal in fact
and not professions.
The Wheelers tell the people, in
words, that they want to elect men
who are in sympathy with the farm
er. Yet, 10 actions, they nominate
the President OF = National Bank, for
governor. Can you trust men who
make such inconsistent and false
professions?

The Candelaria True FIssure OF last
Saturday has an exhaustive article on
Columbus Mining District, its past great
ness and future possibilities. Accompany
ing the issue is a Autographed supplement,
illustrating the town OF Candelaria and
the interior and exterior Of several OF the
large hosting and other works OF the dis
trict. Inasmuch as work is being re-
sumed in many of the mines of the SEQ
ton that haye been shut down for q num-
Der of years, and the recent ore develop.
ments in the Holmes mine have allowed
the paying Of two dividends in less than
80 days, showing that the district ia on
the eve OF a prosperity that may develop
into q little boom, the following from the
True Fissure will probably be OF interest
and perhaps profit to many OF the readers
OF the SENTINEL: "To oil who are con-
templating coming here with a view OF
working for wages il may be as well to say
in the outset that there are more than
enough men here now to fill all the wage
positions in the camp. To capitalists
seeking profitable investment no fairer
field can be found in the world. There
are hundreds of good prospects here that
can be bought for reasonable prices. any
one of which is liable to develop into q
mine, and there are dozens of mines al
ready developed that are held at prices not
at all e~xtravagant. Times here now are
about as dull as they could be without q
suspension of operations at tho Holmes
and Mount Diablo mines, but we all i'm
agine that we can see q glimmer OF the
silver lining Of prosperity emerging from
the dark clouds Of adversely that have
o~vershadowed our town for several years.
Nearly all Of the chloriders and prospect
ors are patiently waiting to see the new
mill started and tested. The machinery
has all been run several times, and it has
been ready for delivery for two weeks, but
