Business Common Sense.

1t does seem as if there was less
business common sense brought
to bear upon the problem of ex-
tending American trade to other
countries than in any other mat
in which this country is interested.
In developing the trade of our
own great country, we know that
quick and frequent communication
is the first requisite; that the mails
must be carried over the sparsely
settled parts of the country regular
ly, even if the postage on many
routs does not pay the expenses;
that when one business center
reaches out" for the business of
certain TERRITORY by furnishing
quicker communication or lower
rates, a competing centre must do
the same or lose the trade; that
trunk lines build up their respec-
tive termini, and the great pro-
blem in trade is to get the busi-
ness started your way, even if
it costs something to do it,
after which the natural increase
may be relied on to reduce the
percentage of cost and in time pay
a profit.
Now, the foreign trade is gov
erned by the same rules. Steam
and electricity have made the
world one vast market open to the
manufactures of all the world on
equal terms, but those which can
reach it the quickest and most
frequently will get the bulk of the
| trade. When merchant sees a
competitor getting the best of him
he finds out where his competitors
facilities are superior to his own,
and meets them with equal i'm
provements, but the Government
of the United States refused to
sustain its steamship lines to even
the extent which third and fourth
rate nations sustain theirs, and
while expending millions of dol
lars cn mail routes on land which
do not pay expenses, refuses to
apply the same principle to COM
merce On the sea. Private citizens
have patriotically endeavored to
restore the American flag to the
proud place it once occupied on
the ocean, but have gone down
before the competition of foreign
ers who were backed by their gov
ernments. Even now such efforts
are being made, notably by the
American line to South America,
but it seems to meet with but little
encouragement from ths United
States Government, and it is not
improbable that it will 60 down as
its predecessors have done before
the unseas,' eompetition of foreign
lines that 4ts sustained by
adequate pay for carrying the
mails. If it does, it win Be . long

A Prominent Georgian,
speaking about the complaints of

The indications are that tn,
current year will be one of renew

tion. In 1885 the new mileag
was 2,871 miles which is less thai

This means that a vast amount O

The proposition Of Congressman
Holman to raise money for pension
purposes by means Of an income
tax will not deceive anybody. Of
course the object is to create a
sentiment against the pension
system by connecting it with an
inquisitorial and offensive form of
taxation; but the great Indiana
objector will find that the people
of this country have no sympathy
with his contemplate project, OF
with any project which looks to
the evasion of the nations obliga-
tions of justice and gratitude to
the soldiers who fought its battles
when its right of existence was put
to test by a Democratic rebellion

But for that other pestilent gang
who are alien in thought and pur-
pose to ourselves, who as rule
come here because they can go no.
where else, and continue when
here to live in their normal state

A Politicians Mishap.

Says the Silver State: News comes from
Elko that at the recent meeting Of the
Live Stock Association, at that place. a
prominent politician was called upon to
address the assemblage. One evening when
there was a large attendance, composed of
members of the Stock Association from all
parts Of the State and citizens, the politi-
clan stepped on the platform and made a
vigorous attack ou monopoliea in general
and railroads in particular, and was loudly
applauded while speaking and cheered at
the close of his remarks. He left the hall
satisfied with his own greatness, and, feel
ing that he had made q favorable impress
sion, remarked that Stewart could not get
the best of him in abusing corporations.
That evening, with some kindred spirits,
he INDUCED in an Elko soul-searching
stimulant, and when he awoke next morn
ing he discovered that his annual pass over
the railroad, which he so roundly de.
nounced, was missing. 1t was found where
he had been imbibing the previous even
ing, but as it became generally known that
he travelled free over the G. p. r. Il. and
leased lines. his auti-corporation speech
lost it's effect, and the knowing ones whis-
pered that he was a railroad "spotter" in
q very thin disguise.

:he Indian War Claims.

Says the Carson Free Lance: On Satur-

ceived & letter from Hon. Daniel Manning.
Secretary of the Treasury, returning to
him the Indian war claims recently ap-
proved by the Board of Examiners OF this
State with the exception of Mrs. Stiles
claim, which was transmitted to the Secre-
tary OF War for future confederation,
with the information that "no provision
has been made by Congress for the adjudi-
cation OF these claims, and that therefore
they are returned "as a class of claims
which cannot be entertained without legis-
lation by Congress" The reason given
for having no power to act is that the
present law OF Congress applies only to
claims assumed by States. and as Nevada
has refused to assume these claims. no
action can be taken by the Departments.

Especial TO THE SENTINEL
LONDON, March 25.-The Queen, accom-
panied by Princess Beatrice, went in an
open carriage TO Hyde Park this afternoon,
and were everywhere cheered by crowds OF
people. Among the crowd which bordered
the Palace Park on the north was a man
in shabby clothes and wearing a slouched
hat. He appeared TO be much agita.ed,
and elbowed his way to the edge OF the
assemblage. When the royal turnout
reached u point opposite him he threw
something into the carriage. Great excite
ment followed, and he was quietly taken
into custody aud hurried sfrom the scene.
1t WAS subsequently learned that the
article was not an explosive, which had
been feared, but was only a piece OF
paper. The paper contained nothing
more than a petition for redress for a
personal grievance. In the petition the
man claims he was robbed Of his pension.
He is held for an inquiry.
Gladstone is i'll. lie caught a cold yes
terday, and is to-day confined to his room.
He is suffering from chills and diarrhGa.
Attending physicians have forbidden him
to go out of the house. Gladstone will,
therefore. be unable to go to the Commons
to-day. He had appointed tonight az the
date on which he would name the day for
the presentation of his Irish proposals. II
was generally expected that he would ac-
company his announcement tonight with
a short speech, which should impsrt the
nature of his Irish views.
LATER-Glads tone has decided to have
the programme he had marked out for
himself in the Commons this evening car
ried out, despite his inability to be pres
ent. Sir WIN. Vernon Harcourt, Chancel-
Tor Of the Exchequer, therefore spoke for
the Premier, and said that Gladstone would
announce his policy On April 8.
BRUSSELS, March 25.-The city was pls-
carded during the night with calls issued
by the Workingnen's Federation for a
great meeting Of workingmen tonight.
The striking miners at Leigh attempted to
renew the general rioting last night. but
were oyerpowered by the police. Troops
stationed at Antwerp are held within their
barracks, 30 as to be available for the sup
preston of any disturbances that may be
created by the unemployed workingmen.
SUAKIM, March 25.-The Abyssinian
troops sent out by King John to relieve the
garrison at Kassala have fought a battle
with the hostile Arabs near that place. The
Arabs were defeated, and $50 of their men
were killed.

A Vein OF photographic stone.

A vein OF argillaceous limestone was
found several years ago on the upper levels
of the Alta mine. The vein is four feet
wide. and the stone ia said to be equal to
the finest quality imported from the quar-
ries Of Bavaria. This character OF lime
stone is used exclusively for TYPOGRAPHY
and is very valuable. That found in the
Alta. says the Virginia Chronicle, is light
buff and remarkably fine grained. The
stone belongs TO the upper ooli'o period
aud is composed Of rounded particles like
the eggs OF a fish. Each OF the grains is
composed Of a fragment of sand around
which concentive layers of calcareous mat
ter are accumulated. A prominent lithn
graphic firm in New York City sent out for
samples OF the stone and are 80 well
pleased with its quality that they are now
negotiating with the Trustees for the pur-
chase Of the vein.

Ierprise Want Ia Know SOmething
of the Quantity and Character OF
the Ores of the Section.
The citizens Of Reno have at last been
made to understand what are the first steps
that should he taken in connection with
the much-desired reduction works at that
town. The Gazette says: 1.-The men ap-
pointed the other day to interview the citi-
zens of Reno at the suggestion Of capital
lists, who are willing to do something to-
wards building reduction works here, have
canvassed the own faithfully, and willis
many have been freer to tell what others
should give than to say what their share
was, yet there has been a very fair amount
subscribed. The money Reno is asked to
raise is not to erect smelling works, but
simply to make q thorough examination OF
the different districts and prepare q tabu-
lated statement of what ore every mine
could send to Reno to be worked, its quail
ity. character and quantity, how it would
mix with other ores, etc. Some work OF
this nature has been done before, but in q
disconnected way. II ia proposed now to
do the work Systematically and have the
data in tabulated form so that we can show
at q glance what Inducements can be Of
fered by Reno as the best location in Me-
vada. or in the West, as a central point,
where reduction works would be permanent
and profitable.
"The mistake made by those who have
made experiments in building works here
tofore has been to build q small mill or
furnace at each mine that promised well,
instead of several companies with different
kinds Of ore working together and erecting
a plant at some central point, where the
ores could be run together and flux each
other, as is done at Denver, Salt Lake and
San Francisco. 1t is necessary to dwell
upon the advantages such works would be
to Reno. Everyone understands that side
of the case and is anxious to see them &c.
