rae CoNsTIrUTIoNAG AMEND
MENE&

A note from Clerk B.cknell Of the SUI
preme Court informs US that Saturday
the Court decided. Judge Hawley dis
senting, that the Constitutional amend
ments voted on at the last election. not
having been published as required by the
Act Of the Legislature Of lSS7, were not
legally submitted. and therefore fail.
The Silver State says the amendments
were taken before the Court N an agreed
case, Attorney-Genersl Alexander srgu-
ing for the validity OF the amendments
and Judse Wells sgsinst it. 1t was sp-
parent from the pertinent questions asked
by Judge Leonard that he was Of the opin.
ion that the amendments were not legally
submitted, as persons coming to the State
within the last year were not afforded op-
portunity Of knowing what the amend
ments were. The point was also raised
as to whether a majority Of all the votes
cast at an election. or simply q majority
OF all the votes for or against an amend
ment, is necessary TO ratify it. II the
latter view prevailed, then, under cir
cumstances. which might arise, three
votes-two for and one against-would
be sufficient to change the fundamental
law Of the State. Whether the Court
passed upon this question or not the full
text Of the decision will show.
As the amendments have failed, the
Legislature will meet, as prescribed by
the Constitution, on the first Monday in
January instead OF the third Monday Of
tina. month, as proposed by the amend
ment.
Whether or not the call for a Consti.
t~utional Convention carried we have not
been. advised, but as the Legislative tink-
ering with that instrument has failed on
every occasion, a Convention, to be com.
posed of delegates expressly chosen for
the purpose, seems 10 be the only prscti.
cal method Of revising the instrument.
Amendments proposed by the Legislature
at one time were not properly entered in
the journals Of the two Houses, and were
therefore invalidated, and the amend.
ments submitted in November failed
through the negligence or carelessness Of
State officers in not having them adver.
tised. Under such circumstances, ii
seems that a Convention should be held
at the earliest moment possible to re.
model the Constitution, and adapt it, as
near as may be, to the present require
ments OF the State.

A Washington correspondent says; Ex-
Senator Joseph E. Mcdonald Of Indiana
was in the city to-day on legal business.
Old Ssddlebags is not especially pleased
with the result Of the election. al am
going to stop speaking hereafter, said
he. at is money that decides the cleo
ton, and there is no longer any use in
appealing to the intelligence Of the peo-
pie as against the money argument to
the floating vote" In further conversa.
tion he declared it was the Dudley letter
and the plan outlined in that letter which
had carried Indiana for Harrison. Colo.
mel Dudley happened to be near by when
the Senator made this statement, and the
Senator went on to say to him that he
would be arrested as soon as he set foot
in Indiana. "We intend to make an ex.
ample of you, said the Senator. "Weli,
I'll be there when you do it," was the
the reply. "My pockets are full Of dy-
Mantle. l guess there will be some squeal-
ing in the Democratic pen before long"

THE "TIMBE SUITS,
who was Instrumental, Directly
and Indirectly, fn Bringing
About the Timber Prosecutions.
EUREKA, Dec, p, 1888


EDITOR SENTINEL: Some time since
a communication was published in the
Elko Independent by q. w. Baker,
and another in which some person I'M
named in the communication but al
luded to in a way that showed unmis-
takably that the writers knew that the
person alluded to had expressed the
opinion that Baker had been instru-
mental both directly and indirectly in
bringing about the timber prosecu-
tions instituted against parties in Eu-
reka county.
In the last issue of the SENTINEL
Baker asserts that he does not know
who the person or persons who have
expressed that opinion are. Mr..
Baker was either mistaken when he
wrote the article for the Independent
or he made a mistake when he wrote
the one for the SENTINEL. But the
fact is Baker knows and has known
all the time at least one person who
had expressed the opinion before he
visited Washington that his visit
would result in the institution of the
timber suits, and who has expressed
the opinion since his visit that he was
to a large extent responsible both di-
rectly and indirectly for their institu-
ton. Had Baker been half as brave
as his language might lead persons TO
l.1...A rAz IL 4.k lAx L.. l.
might have sought personal redress,
if he SO desired, long ago, without
rushing into the columns Of a news
paper. But in order that there may
be no mistake about this matter in
future permit me TO say that / believe
that Baker is both directly and indi-
rectly in a measure responsible for the
commencement Of the " timber suits"
Permit me to say further that / do not
believe a heated newspaper contro-
versy at the present time is wise. The
issues involved in these suits are OF
the gravest character and must be
settled either at Washington or in the
courts, and newspaper controversies
in regard to the persons who did or
did not instigate them are not likely to
aid in their settlement, and if Mr..
Baker had made a temperate state
ment to ~exonerate himself / should
not have noticed it. But his commu
nication smacks strongly Of a desire
for personal redress. Well, Mr.. Ed
itor, in order to take the matter out OF
the newspapers and to afford Baker
the opportunity he seems to covet, you
are at liberty to give the name of the
author OF this communication to
Baker, and permit me, in this connec
ton, to say for his information that l
cross Main street at its intersection
with Clark every morning, noon and
evening. If, upon the other hand, he
simply desires to throw light upon this
matter, permit me to suggest to him
to publish a letter written to him by a
friend and attorney at law of this
place in reference to his trip-to Wash
ington. Its publication would throw
much light upon the earlier stages OF
the climber business" and would be
very edifyingt to the public. PFC.

BALLOT

The recount now going Of in San Fran.
CISCO is disclosing some curious election
frauds. The official returns as made by
the election officers appear to be q mile
from correct. Both parties seem TO have
had a hand in it, since the swindling was
done 10 both directions. It was bold and
palpable. 1t consisted simply in failing
to count the ballots as voted. The cleo.
tion officers In certain wards gave the
votes to whom they pleased regardless
OF the names on the ballots. Som Dem
ocratic and some Republican candidates
were the beDe6ciaries Of the fraud, show
ing collision in the Board OF Canvassers.
Il also shows the evils Of machine meth.
DDS and boss rule in politics. ODonnell,
the independent candidate for Mayor,
seems to have been the greatest sufferer
by the fraud. He was deliberately
cheated out Of hundreds Of votes by the
reading Of the names Of the other candi-
dates instead Of his Owl. That the effect
VI tul5 lIaQu IA OC W nhanC nAaA a.
next Mayor Of San Francisco is now con.
fidently predicted. But the fate Of can.
didates is unimportant. 1t is the assault
on this great bulwark Of our liberties that
should arrest the attention Of even the
thoughtful citizen. We do not state it
too strongly when we say that our whole
election machinery and methods are be-
coming rotten to the core. The boldest
corruption runs rampant in every State
in the Union.
intimidation is also everywhere dis
gustingly prevalent. The land owners
intimidate the negroes in the South, and
the corporation barons do the identical
same thing in the North. II is six Of
one and a half dozen OF the other. The
situation South may be bettered by the
education Of the negro to the point OF
making him an independent voter. 1t is
certain to grow worse in the North 50
long as we continue our present system
of enriching the few ct the expense OF
the many. The more we build up and
foster monopoly, the more certainly do
we provide for the ultimate overthrow
of free government in this country. A
tariff tax beyond the absolute necessi.
ties Of the government leads up %inevita'
bly, to this result. The history Of man
kind is a lie, or else these things must
follow.
The human mind is a queer thing. The
protectionist honestly believes himself
the most patriotic citizen in the land. As
q matter Of fact he is the most dangerous
enemy of free government this country
has ever known. The great peril consists
in the honesty and ~pertinacity Of his pur.
pose. Protection is the deadly foe Of
liberty. One or the other must perish.

The Mountain Democrat, Published at
Pisesfsille, California, under the head OF

duction by Representative Nsndever OF
his bill 10 divide California into two
states, the Los Angeles people have be-
cone frantic over the matter. o half OF
her population wanting Offices to heal the
wounds resulting from the unfortunate
land speculations. This action on the
part Of our brothers in the south has led
to q movemen, in the mining counties by
which we will fool them" A meeting
Of citizens from several OF our mining
counties and from the State OF Nevada,
was held at the Cary House in this city
last-Tuesdsy, at which it was sgreed to
inaugurate . movement to annex to Ne
vads the California counties Of Tuolumne.

will leave the southern agricultural coun.
ties, and CALIFORNIA; mining counties with
the mining State Of Nevada. avoiding
the expense Of another State Govern
ment, and at the same time remove the
objection now raised that general legisla-
ton cannot be had which is applicable to
both the mining and agricultural coun.
ties.
There is q large amount Of sound sense
in the above idea, and it is one which
the people Of Nevada will do well to
consider.
The new addition OF the California min
ing counties would make Nevada the
greatest mining State in the world, and
while it would reduce our taxation and
expenses OF government it would give 10
the mining counties of California the ad.
vantages Of living with mining neighbors
and among mining people, where some
attention can be paid to varying legisla-
tion which would be productive Of much
good to all concerned.
The State would be glad to extend the
hand Of fellowship to those counties Of
California.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Every once in awhile somebody gets up
a scare about our public school system.
1t is an intermittent disease, which dis
appears for awhile and the patient thinks
he has recovered. Then Of a sudden he
begins to shake again and has another
siege Of it.
The bottom facts are these: We are
told, says the New York Herald. that
public morality is in decadence; that in
fidelity Of one sort and another Is on the
rampage; that crimes are more numerous
than ever before; that the marriage tie
is more lightly regarded; that the gen.
eral conscience is less sensitive to evils
which affect the welfare Of society, and
that therefore the school tax should be
divided between Catholics and Protes-
tants, that each may take care of its own
constituency.
This we believe to be q mistake. There
are certain forms Of evil which are more
prevalent now than in times past, and
certain other forms which appear less
frequently. But if you strike a fair ave.
rage the world is better, higher toned,
more generous, charitable and kindly.
There is a heavier bulk Of virtue in it
than ever. If it were not 80 it would be
a pretty miserable world to live in, and
the sooner we emigrated to some other
planet the better.
We are also told that our children
ought to be more carefully taught, that
their religious education is neglected and
that many wasted lives are the conse-
quence.
This is easily granted. No one will be
likely to deny it. But where shall the
child get his moral education unless in
the home and in the church? What are
homes and churches for?
The public school system is a purely
State affair, a secular institution. 1t can
never be anything else. It's sole business
is to give the rudiments of education,
that the boy may have a brain as well as
a pair of hands for the struggle of the fu-
ture. II the church and the home sup
plement that training by the infusion Of
religious doctrine or moral ideas, why
then you have a boy we'll equipped for
citizenship. II either the church or the
home fails in that duty. so much the
worse for the boy and so much worse for
the State.
But it is not the duty of the State to
make Episcopalians or Catholics or Meth.
odists. If i. were to 60 into that bust.
ness we should have a pretty rough time
of it and nobody could tell where it
would end.
The State must keep out Of the Church
and the Church must keep out of the
State. That idea lies at the foundation
of things in this country. and it can never
be changed until our institutions are de-

WHY MARK SMITH OPPOSED THE MC-
 CREART BILL.

From the Gazettes report of Delegate
 Smiths speech at Phoenix.l
 Mark what l mean when say the people are Tn danger, because when ever they pass the McCreary bill, the Stewart bill, the Ransom bill, the Joseph bill or any ether like bill your homes are in danger. And yet for opposing these bills am accused. It is stated by my adversary that am in with the land grabbers. I cannot see how any man in the face of the settlers can have the rashness, the tenerity, the impudenee to make such statements. And this in the face of the memorials from the settlers every where, from Apache county to where the San Pedro loses itself Tn the sands.
 I saw the Baron of the Colorado smiling down from the galleries of the House. I saw in the House Hearst, of Califernia, whispering 1n the ears eff Mr. Fslton. There they were, the ex-Senators and the ex-Cougressmen, who were part of the Casa Grande Cs., they were there all urging thelr measure, and there stood alone with the members of the private land com nittee, and 1 prevailed. How was 1t done? IthInk it was done because they saw the earnestness in me; that the deed was being done against the outcries of the people represented by taking advantage of forms of law. Give Colorado, give New Mexico, said l, all they want of this bill, but for God sake take it away from us. Now, any one who is for this bill let him go vote for Gen. Wilson. l don't seek the vote of that man.
 The reason the land grabbers want this bill passed is to force the farmers, one at time, into court which must take their title at its face evidence, and fierce the farmer to either com promise, lose h1s land CT enter into a law suit which will eat up hls proper ty and cannot cost less than $10,0O0 to put through, and I state here before you tonight that no lawyer could af- ford ts inves tigatO that title of the land grabbers for a single cent less.
