Harry +. Sharp, who has had
charge of the machinery in the SPLEEN
did concentrating mill at Seligman
since Mr.. Hewitt's departure arrived
here last Tuesday night, after having
completed his labors there, and de
parted on the following day for his
home in New York City. lie stated
10 a SENTINEL reporter that the ma
chinery is all running and doing It's
work in a very satisfactory manner.
He is the master machinist who, I'M
der S. X. Krom in New York, con-
structed the Concentrations and other
most valuable parts Of the machinery,
and, who at the special request Of
Eugene n. Robinson. was sent to
Seligman by Mr.. Krom to take charge
of its erection in the magnificent
mill, and to start tie machinery IN
motion. Mr.. Sharp said that the
plant is perfect, and the machinery is
running smoothly and to the entire
satisfaction OF Mr.. Robinson. We
regret that Mr.. Sharp was compelled
to hurry on his journey homeward to
fulfill an engagement in Nova Scotia,
for not only Is he an exceedingly skill
ful mechanic, but a bright, manly,
generous, w~holesouled and exceedingly
clever gentleman, whom we would
much liked to have had tarry Longer
with Us.

ing for the withdraw of public lands
in the State Of Nevada from all entry ex-
cept homestead entry and settlement.

ruURwAN Fom PRESIDENT.

The San Francisco Examiner, in a
double loaded editorial, gives the follow
ing reasons why Alien G. Thurman should
be nominated Vice President and accept
the nomination The proposal to nomin-
ate ex-senator Allen G.. Thurman to the
Vice Presidency ON the Democratic ticket
il an inspiration. Mr.. Thurman is a
statesman OF Presidential rank, and such
men have usually considered il beneath
their dignity to accept the second place.
But we have been warned often enough
that no man should be chosen Vice Presi-
dent who would not make a worthy
President. -Four times the Chief Magis.
tracy has been filed by the accident Of
death, and in every case the acting Pres
ident has served for nearly the entire
term. The nation wishes no more un-
pleasant surprises. The name Of Thur
man would round out the ticket and make
it admirable throughout. The people
believe in the old statesman; they know
that his rugged honesty has won him an
honorable retirement from the Senate,
and they Glove bin for the enemies he
has made" While Cleveland was win
ming the hostility of rings and bosses.
Thurman was calamity acquiring the
hatred Of corporations and trusts. All
the predacious combinations in the coun-
try joined in the charge upon him. They
succeeded, and in driving him from office
they i~ntrenched him i~mmovably in the
popular heart. Now that President Cleve-
land has taken up Thurman's fight, the
association Of the two would be admir-.
ably appropriate. II there were any doubt
about the vote Of California, the nomin.
alton OF such a ticket would dispel it.
The candidate for the Vice Presidency
often gives strength in one State and
weakness in all the rest. Thurman would
strengthen the ticket everywhere. With
him in the field even Ohio might be car.
ried, and large inroads on the Republican
strength in the Northwest would be al.
most certain. Not only California, but
Oregon and Nevada would be safe. The
trusts could not raise enough money nor
drive enough of their half.starved wage
slaves to the polls to defeat Cleveland
and Thurman.

FLOUR

1t may not be generally known that all
Of the Touring mills Of California are COM
bined in a trust to keep up the price of
bread. 1t is a far.reaching combination
and most thoroughly organized. The
whole State is parceled out among the
several mill owners, and a mill in South
ern California cannot sell a pound Of -four
to a consumer in Northern California,
and vice versa. Each has its field Of
business bounded by well defined terri
torial area. The California papers ex-
press a great deal of anxiety about the
Eastern people who are being plundered
by the sugar, standard oil and like mo.
nopolies, but they haven't a word to say
about their own flour trust. But it is
human nature to overlook the beam in
our own eyes. Nevertheless the Cali.
fornia flour trust is as grasping and
wicked as any Of the m~onopolies affecting
the East.

A short time after the dinner hour
last Tuesday, a fire broke out in the
blacksmith shop Of the Bay State
mine at Newark, which in a short
time communicated to the hosting
works, and entirely destroyed those
buildings. As some Of the men had
been sharpening tools just previous to
the occurrence, it is supposed that a
spark from the forge vas the cause Of
it. This coming in the absence of Mr..
Robinson, the Superintendent, he be-
ing laid up with sciatic rheumatism at
Paso Robles, and the late severe acci-
dent to his folks in Eureka, all go
to prove the old adage, that "misfor-
tunes never come ~singly."

A SERIOUS
The Family of Hon. ROD
fnson Thrown from Thter Car
rfaxe and Severely Hurt.

Last Sunday morning Mrs. Thos.
Robinson, her little daughter, her sis
ter, Mrs. Curran, and John DAILY came
in by their private conveyance from
Newark, and having attended church,
started on their return home, ac-
companied by Miss Agnes Timson.
The horses were spirited, and MIR.
Daily was driving. Just as the party
had got we'll on the grade below the
railroad depot, a sack IA lifted from
the ground bv a whirlwind and blown
in front Of the animals. This fright
ened the team. and in an instant they
were turned off the grade. a distance
OF 10 feet, and the wagon tipped over,
throwing all OF the occupants but Miss
Timson violently to the ground. The
latter realized the danger, quickly
jumped out and was unhurt, but the
others all received injuries. 1t was
fortunate that Mr.. John Hollings-
worth was passing about that time
with his blackboard on his way to
town, and he picked up both OF the
ladies' and brought them back to Eu-
reka. Mr.. DAILY, in falling, struck on
his forehead, which was badly bruised
and soon commenced swelling, and
his eyes were blackened; but he soon
got to his feet, and after getting the
wagon back on the grade and the
team, which had fallen and had to be
freed, again hitched to the vehicle re-
turned to Eureka, bringing with him
Miss Timson and the little girl, whose
| arm was dislocated. Mrs. Robinson
had her left thigh badly bruised, and
Mrs. Curran was hurt internally in
her left side, and sustained a very
| severe shock to her nervous system.
| Both ladies' have since been confined
| to their rooms at the Jackson House,
and have suffered greatly. They have
been well cared for by Mrs. Jackson
and their numerous friends, who have
| done all they could for them. DIR.
| Williams has attended them, and re-
| ported yesterday that they were all APP
| ~parently doing well.

A THOUGHT OF POLITICAL ECON
OMY.

II we were going to write the briefest
possible essay on political economy we
would say that the end Of all government
is bread. BY this. Of course, we mean
bread for the millions. The less people
are governed the better. The more men
are taught to rely upon their own exer-
tions and manhood the better it is for
the Government aud themselves. The
Government is neither a wet nurse nor
an a~lmshouse. Its functions are limited
and should be. Its beneficence should
be as gentle and universal as the dews OF
heaven. Equal blessings to all, special
privileges to none. White. black and
mixed, all on the same footing before the
law. These are the great fundamental
principles of correct Government. But
revenues are to be collected and policies
maintained. The greatest good to the
greatest number is the old doctrine.
Craftsmanship will have exhausted itself
when it has employed the masses at the
highest possible wages and subsisted
them at the lowest possible cost. Herein
is the conflict of policies as presented in
this country to-day. A high wage rate
and a low rate Of living. Will one com.
pensate for the other? These are the
opposing theories. The whole case re-
solves itself into the one idea-the gene
raj prosperity, bread for the millions.
Amateurs draw lessons between this
country and England. There is no anal.
ogy. England's agricultural resources
are totally inadequate. Ours are SUPER
abundant. England must employ and
feed her subjects from outside sources.
With us it is how best to get rid of our
surplus products at remunerative prices.
The physical and natural conditions OF
the two countries are directly antago-
nistic. With England, freedom OF barter
with the nations of tine earth. is her life.
blood. With us protection against the
more favored land is equally our life
blood. 1t is every country for its own.
1t is a struggle involving the survival OF
the 6ttest. In such q struggle the mar
who is not for his own country and peo'
pie against all corners, first, last and all
the time, is wanting in every element OF
devotion to home and true patriotism.
We say these things frankly. and yet we
would change the existing tariff in several
particulars, marking the duties up on
some articles and down ON Others. but al
ways observing and maintaining the dis
~tinctive American doctrine of protection.
