MRS. BECKER SURPRISED.


Mrs. Ernestine Becker, the Treasury
clerk, who was indicted Wednesday on
the charge of embezzling money that
came into her hand, was much surprised
whom arrested by an attache of the Mar
shal's office. She was evidently under
the impression that the entire affair had
been finally settled. She was taken to
Judge Montgomery house and there
gave $4,000 bail, Gustav Lansburg being
her surety.

COMPLIMENTARY OF STEWART.

There can be no question that Senator
Stewart is making himself immensely
popular with all the people of the Pa.
ciic Coast. Through his great energy
and ability he has pushed himself right
into the hearts of his immediate constit.
uents here in Nevada. irrespective OF
party. Words in praise of him are to
be heard On every hand. No other man
in Washington is so frequently and so
favorably quoted by the San Francisco
press as Senator Stewart. His measures
and speeches and opinions are referred to
by all the papers, and quite frequently
form the basis of leading editorials on
current public questions. There can be
no question that the people Of this State
and Coast like q man Of activity and
ability. In this view they feel q just
pride in the efforts OF Senator Stewart.
In common with the great mass Of his
fellow-citizens we accord to him in the
highest degree the position Of usefulness
and industry in the discharge Of the du-
ties incumbent upon every representa-.
tive of the people. A close observer of
public men once said to us Of Senator
Stewart. in connection with his former
Senatorial career, that he was the ablest
and most influential member of that body
at that time. The estimate may ormay not
have been too high, but it is quite GER
tain that the Senator is starting off in a
way to make himself felt during his
present term. We are always glad to be
able %truthfully to say graceful things Of
public men, because their lot is usually
a hard one, and their efforts in the main
are never half appreciated by those they
serve. Senator Stewart is a good and
useful public servant OF ability.

rnE onNIBUs q L

Il appears that the Democratic men,
bers OF the House recently held q caucus
and unanimously resolved to stand firmly
by the Omnibus bill, which provides for
the admission Of four new States into
the Union-Dakota, Washington, Mon.
tana and New Mexico. 1t is said the
Republicans will oppose the admission
of New Mexico. The dispatches also in.
dictate that they will demand the divis-
ion Of Dakota, one-half to be admitted
as q State and the other organized as q
Territory. We belive that this should
be done, and no Western member, be he
Democrat or Republican, should oppose
it. Dakota Is large enough for two
States, by far too large for one, and as
the people want it divided Congress
should regard their wishes. There will
be no such thing as erecting two States
out Of it after it has once been admit.
ted. Texas is a sample OF territorial
area Of unwieldly proportions, and still
it can never be cut up into smaller SUBJ
divisions. With Dakota divided before
admission, it would ultimately give the
West two additional Senators and the
larger our delegation is ct Washington
the better will it be for the West and
Western interests. Looking ahead into
the future, every Western member Of
Congress should vote to give Dakota
what her people desire. With this sim.
pie change we would be glad to see the
Omnibus bill promptly passed by both
Houses, and we should not object il the
new States were also given the right to
participate in the ensuing Presidential
election. There is not enough difference
between the parties for anybody to care
much how any State may vote in these
times. There is too much higgling and
playing for advantage by the leaders of
both parties in Congress. 1t is small
business. 1t is better to be right than
be President. He who serves his coun.
try best serves his party best.

there in q pool Of blood and brain matter
when the people attracted by the news

was abusing and beating his mother;
that he twice stepped between them to
protect his mother; that his father made
a dash for his mother again, but that be-

rife and shot him. His version is gen.

sENATOR JOHN p. JONES.

A California paper wonders that Sem
ator Jones of Nevada did not take a
more prominent part in the recent silver
debate in the Senate. That is easily ac-
counted for. The amen9ment was Sem
ator Stewards and it was eminently
proper that Senator Stewart should have
charge of the subject on the floor. 1t is,
indeed, the customary parliamentary
to do the principal battling for it until it
is disposed Of. The rule is always well
observed in both Houses of Congress.
1t would not be viewed as strictly court
eous for a member to intrude to the Diet
riment of his colleague. In other words,
each member is entitled to his own
thunder and all he can make out oil it in
the nature of popular ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Senator Jones saw that the fight was be.
ing well handled by Senator Stewart,
and such being the case it was his place
to leave its entire management to that
gentleman. No doubt if a critical mo.
ment had arrived. where the friends of
silver needed aid, the senior Senator
from Nevada would have gotten "his oar
in in effective shape. But it was not
needed, aud SO he allowed those who
had inaugurated the contest to fight it to
q successful finish, which was the cor
rect thing to do from a strictly parlia-
mentary standpoint. Besides, Senator
Jones sowed good seed in the interest Of
silver in his great speech of years ago.
1t is the fruits of that speech that are
being gathered now. If all men in pub
lie life were as true and as effective in
the silver interest as Senator Jones has
proven himself to be, we would soon
have free and unlimited silver coinage in
this country.

MIR. WREN AND THE JUDGE
AINEp

A leading Republican in the west
ern part of the State recently said to a
representative OF the SENTINEL that
Hon. Thomas Wren, of Eureka,
could have the Republican nomination
for the Supreme Judgeship at the COM
ing Republican Convention if he would
accept it. We have no doubt about
his nomination if he indicated a de-
sir for the place, for he may be re-
garded as the most available man
the Republicans could name. Mr..
Wren being a practitioner Of wide TX
perience and fine legal attainment,
his nomination and election would be
a valuable acquisition to our Supreme
Bench. While we do not speak by
the card We have an idea that he
would not accept the nomination.
True, times are not what they once
were in Eastern Nevada, still Mr..
Wren has a good practice at the bar
which is worth more to him, no
doubt, than would be the ~Judgeship.
There is a sort Of deadlock between
three or four candidates in the western
end ofthe State with no aspirantfromthe
Great East. Under the circumstances,
it would appear that SO prominent an
attorney as Mr.. Wren would
have not the slightest difficulty in
carrying off the prize. From what we
hear, about all he would have to do
would be to consent to take it.

THE USUAL ALARM.

Since the late declaration by the Sem
ate in favor of silver Wall street and the
gold bugs and the bondholders are again
sounding the alarm that this country and
all of it's great financial interests are to
be reduced to a deprecated silver basis.
1t is the old, old story that we have
been hearing for ten years. The oppo.
nents Of silver have been predicting
darkness and disaster right along. We
have been told at every step that silver,
if given a chance, would drive all Of the
gold out of the country. But the
movements of the metals, year by year,
shows that there is not a prophet among
all the gang of anti-silver conspirators
Instead of driving it out we have been
attracting gold from other countries at
an average rate Of seventy millions an.
nually. We were also told that the
United States would become the dump
ing ground Of all the "cheap silver" Of
the Old World. Instead of that we have
steadily exported large sums in silver
bullion and imported none. And yet in
the face Of this unanswerable record,
dating back to 1878 when silver was par.
TALLY remonetized, the old silly story
about the disappearance Of gold is again
revived. Well, let the gold bugs and
bondholders vince and writhe and howl
to their hearts content. We have al
ways enjoyed their discoiture immensely.
In the meantime there must be no cessa-
tion in the efforts of bimetallists until
the last ounce of silver produced in this
country is utilized as money on an equal
footing with gold. The Coinage Act of
1873 and what was done in the Senate
the other day are only starters. There
is still a big battle ahead to restore sill
yer to the place which it occupied prior
to demonetization in 1873. The silver
men must not only hold what they have
accomplished, but advance to full and
final results as speedily as possible.

pRurrrNs TO GRESHAM.

The tone OF Republican sentiment in
the East seems to be drifting more and
more in the direction of Judge Gresham
for the Presidential nomination. II we
may Judge by the comments of the
Eastern press he is q growing candidate.
We think We can zee it and feel it in the
air that he is to become very formida-
BILE in the Chicago Convention. There is
ono great factor in his favor-no Sec
ton Of the country is especially against
him. while as a candidate he would give
very general satisfaction to all factions
in the Republican party. This much OF
his general prospects. There are some
things also that will operate to his dis
advantage in securing the nomination.
First and the most serious Of all, is the
TACT that his name may not get before the
convention at all. He seems to have
yielded the field in Indiana entirely to
ex-senator Harrison. Certain IL is, that
he is not making a contest for the dele.
CATION from his own State. Harrison
has no following to speak Of outside OF
Indiana, and scarcely one chance in a.
hundred to secure the nomination; but
he may so handle the Indiana delegation
as to keep Gresham out Of the race. 1t
is not customary to nominate a man
whose own State is for somebody else.
Away back in the ffties some one pre-
dioted that Stephen A. Douglas would
never be President because his "coat-
tail came too near the ground" The
very same thing may be said OF little
Ben Harrison Of Indiana. There is not
enough of him to walk off with the
Presidency. II Harrison were out Of
the way in Indiana, Gresham would ap.
pear in a vastly better role at Chicago.
Ben Harrison and the sulking in 1854 Of
the Arthur Administration, OF which
Gresham was a Cabinet officer, are the
chief obstacles standing between him
and the nomination. But it is not i'm
possible that he will overcome all ad.
verse circumstances and knock the per.
simmon Notwithstanding. To our mind
Eastern Republican opinion is daily crys.
tallizing in that direction. If perchance
we are to have a Republican President
we know Of no Eastern man whom we
would sooner see in the White House
than Judge Gresham.
