A curious case has been decided by the
Supreme Court Of Indiana, Of interest es.
p~ecially to Catholics. Ayoung man was
shot, and the circumstances rendered abb
solution impossible. His father owned .
lot in a Catholic cemetery, but the priest
denied the right of burial. A lawsuit re.
suited against the church, and the re.
mains were inferred. The Supreme Court
reversed the lower court decision, sus-
tanning the position that ownership in q
lot in a Catholic burial ground is subject
to the regulations of the church.

THE pEMoCKATIC NATIONAL
vENTI0y.


1t begins to look like San Francisco
had a good chance for the Democratic
National Convention. The National Com
mittee meets in Washington February
22d to FIX the time and place for meeting
Of this great representative gathering.
In these days, a Democratic National
Convention, taking the body as a whole,
calls together q higher order Of intellect
than is to be found in any other like as
semblage. A Republican National Con-
v%ention is composed very largely Of freed.
men from the South, who cannot be
expected to have developed into the
higher order Of craftsmanship in so short
. period. There was no comparison in
the personnel Of the two great conyen.
tions which assembled in Chicago four
years ago. And so it will be this year.
The story that President Cleveland
preferred that the Democratic Conven-
ton be held in New York is denied. 1t
could not go there now without injury
to the President. II would look like
double dealing. This reduces the com.
peting places to indianapolis, Chicago.
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Louisville ard San
Francisco. We may as well discard Gin.
c~innati, because the Democrats have no
hope Of carrying Ohio. The Buckeye
State is joined to the Republican idol.
Chicago had the honor in 1854. Besides,
there is nothing for the Democracy to
look for in Illinois. st. Louis was the
sense Of the Convention in 1876, when
Mr.. Tilden was n~ominated-and elected.
There might be a sense Of gratitude for
the electoral votes of fifteen States in
going as far south with the convention
as Louisville. But Louisville is hardly
supplied with the necessary hotel accom-
modations for 80 large an assemblage.
indianapolis has serious claims. Indiana
is a part of the battle ground, and an i'm.
portant part. No Democrat could find
fault II the convention we're gwen TO that
State. But it may 60 to San Francisco.
The California Democrats are offering the
delegates free transit to and from the
convention. This is a great inducement.
Many Eastern people will desire to make
the transcontinental trip, aud we shall
not be surprised to see the convention
located at the Pacific Coast metropolis.
Indiana might be satisfied with Governor
Gray in the second place on the ticket.
New York. Of course, ought to be con-
tent with the first place. And thus all
interests might be harmonized and made
happy. Major John H. Dennis is Me-
vada's member Of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. We believe the Dem
ocrats of this State will be pleased to see
him vote first for San Francisco and Sec
ondly for Indianapolis.

THE VACANCY IN TmEumINT.

Recently a vacancy has occurred in the
Carson mint. At the beginning Of Pres.
ders Cleveland's term one Doctor Tuttle,
OF Maryland, was imported with his grip
sack and made Melter and Reiner of our
mint. Director Of Mints kimball prob.
ably had more to do with the importation
Of futile than President Cleveland. 1t
was a question of detail with which the
President most likely did not familiarize
himself. But be this as it may, Tuttle
is now gone. May he nor no other carpet
Dagger ever return to do official service
in Nevada. At the time of the appoint.
ment Of Tuttle, Major John II. Dennis,
an old time tried and trusted Democrat
Of the State, was most highly, and deserv.
eddy SO, Endorsed for the place. By all
the rules of fairness and decency he
shoald have had it. Now that a vacancy
has occurred, by the transfer Of futile to
one of the mints East. the Majors friends
are again urging his appointment. He
seems to have a clear field and the best
Of prospects Of securing the position.
Whenever and wherever there is y per.
simmon in sight for the Major he can rely
on the cordial support Of the SENTINEL.

passed silently away with the bullion

THE CsOMsTOCK.

Speculation in Comstock shares is not
as alluring as in former days. The iuc.
tuations have not been great for some
time past. The stock operating public,
however. doesn't care a fig for merit il
the stock market will only move. People
who deal in stocks want them to 60 up
and down. They are satisfied to take
their chances if the big manipulators will
only make deals. They are willing that
the said manipulators may look at both
hands. They never stop to think that
the business Of the big San Francisco
manipulation is but q few nov above
that Of the professional pickpocket.
There was a time when there were two
parties in the field and two sides to the
market-the long and the short. But
that day has passed. The market has
been what the Bonsnza crowd desired il
to be since the death of Sharon. There
has been no one of late to dispute their
supremacy. They have things all their
own way. Mackay had his collar-bone
cracked in the wheat deal. Jim Fair is
at the helm. Fair has no game in him
as an operator. He is not q thoroughbred
in anything that means equal chances. 1t
is his policy to draw in the money Of the
public in the petty, slow, but sure way.
The brilliant deeds OF Ralston and Sharon
need never be looked for under present
conditions. And yet the Comstock as a
whole is looking quite as well, even bet
ter, than at any time in the last twelve
months. Con. Virginia, Savage, Hale &
Norcross, Potosi and Crown Point and
Belcher are all producing good ore in vast
quantities. There is ample merit for a
lively stock market at greatly improved
prices. But people are beginning to de.
spair Of its coming. It is now the gene.
raj belief that there may be one more
little squirt and then the whole business
settle down to a milling proposition,
without elasticity and without speculs-
ton. Those who hold stocks will be
privileged to pay assessments for many
years to come.

prosecution should concede that point
to the defense and save people the
trouble and expense Of going to Elko
on such an errand. A great mistake
was made somewhere in sending this

much expense saved to the county,

We often hear it stated that a man is

mothers knew for instance, that the OPEN

Why?
Because then the blood stream is
sluggish and chilled by the cold weather,
and If not thinned good deal and made

have good vigor the rest OF the year.
Hence, without exception, what is now

family regularly through March, April,
May and June. 1t is matter Of record
that this prudential, preventive and re.

Committee came in with his pockets full Of
proxies, but was not allowed to vote them.

An experiment made by the medical stat
Of the German army as to the effect various
grades Of tobacco had upon the health Of
their soldiers is Of general interest to all
smokers.
1t was found, after a searching inquiry.
that the prevalence Of throat diseases among
smokers was not due so much to excess in
this indulgence as to the use of green and
improperly cured leaf.
Few manufacturers can afford to have a
large capital idle for three years or more.
consequently the nsst Of them cut new leaf,
the nsxieus effects of which is fully realized
when generated through the heated smoke.
1t is only large manufacturers who make
smoking tobacco a speciality and who desire
to retain their we'll earned reputation, that
carry large stscks Of leaf for the specified
period. We learn that Marburg Bros. have

The boat for the Carson River Dredging
Company Is new floating on the bosom Of the
Carssn, and, contrary to the expectations Of
many, draws less than four inches Of water,
about half the displacement estimated. The
machinery has been arriving steadily and it
is almost certain that it will be all here and
placed before the first Of June. The large
pieces are all here excepting the crane and
two 5o-horse power engines. The engines
are on the road and expected to arrive this
week. The crane Is not yet completed but
will probably be finished the FIRST Of next
week. As sosn as the crane arrives, men
will be put on. the machinery put in place.
and its efficiency fully tested. No doubts
Of its success are entertained by the Dredge
Company. A similar dredge was in use at
Sacramento last Summer and all beholders
were surpn sed at the amount Of earth which
this dredge was capable Of handling and the
simplicity and cheapness with which it was
operated. Mr.. Rae is endeavoring to procure
