The present Winter will be one to
remember as a severe one, and one in
which more lives were lost than for
many years before. if not excelling in
that particular, at least in the United
States. The dispatches say 1t is the
coolest Winter since 1864. which
it will be remembered, opened with
a cold snap that froze many people to
death. Two great armies were in the
field in the United States then, and
the suffering that ensued may be bet
ter imagined than described. Men on
both sides froze to death on their posts
and thousands were more or less
frosted. While there is suffering on
the great plains, which were then I'M
settled, there can hardly be the
amount that existed in that cold snap.

rus RAILROAD nEssAeE.

Teleeraphic advices from Washington
to The San Francisco dailies tell US that
the Presidents message transmitting to
Congress the report Of the Commissioner
appointed 10 investigate the affairs oil the
Central and Union Pacific railroads, is
disappointing both TO the public and the
roads. Having carefully read the docu-
ment, we are compelled to share in this
feeling Of disappointment. IL Is neither
one thing nor the other. IL is replete
with generalities. The President evil
IDENTIFY had no time to study the question,
and whoever furnished him his data knew
little or nothing Of the subject in hand.
II is q large question Of many sides and
collateral issues. A book might be writ
ten OF the history Of these roads and their
relation to the Government. The roads
have some equities which deserve to be
considered in the general squaring oil &C.
counts. One thing is certain. They will
be In no condition TO pay the great debt
Of one hundred and odd millions due the
Government at the date Of Its maturity
in 1895. II will have 10 be extended, or
the Government will be driven TO pay OIL
the first mortgage to private parties Of g..
0c1, 900 and take tho roads for it's debt. Is
the Government prepared to go into the
railroad business? Will either Of the
political parties In Congress favor such q
plan, We think not. II would be an
addition Of too many officers and en-
ployes 10 the Government pay roll.
Neither the President nor the Commits
sioners have anything to say about the
resources Of the roads or their ability to
pay their debts. This should have been
the chief subject Of inquiry. But the
President and a majority Of the Commits
sion, without advancing any arguments
in support Of the position, reach the con-
clusion that the time Of payment should
be reasonably extended at q four cent
rate Of interest. The conclusion is sen.
sible enough as to time, but why four
per cent, when the Government can OBJ
tain all the money it wants for three per
cent The work Of the Commission was
q failure. 1t developed nothing that
that was not known before. Its report
will cut an unimportant figure in guiding
Congress to q correct conclusion in the
settlement Of this great debt. BesideC,
the roads will not accept a ifty.year ex-
tension at four per cent. They prefer
one hundred years ct three.

The above institution at Salt Lake
is one OF the most admirable iii the
West. The building is large and con-
venient, the rooms pleasant, and the
surrounding grounds handsomely laid
out adorned with shubbery and
flowers. The pupils are contented and
happy, and their rudy cheeks are the
bloom of health. The educational
advantages are great. The English
course is thorough. Training in
household duties receive the same at
tention as other womanly accomplish
ments. Painting, drawing, and dec
orative work is taught, and the music
department is perfect in all its APP
pointments. Here young ladies are
brought up in virtue to a career OF
usefulness, and there is no institution
its equal on the Pacific slope. The
second session for boarders begins

THEIR COURSE INDORsED.
The Votes OF Stanford and stewart
on Lamar,a COnGrmatlon.

The Washington Morning Post prints
the following editorial paragraphs:
eff it were possible, which it probably
is not, for anything TO be meaner than
the fight made on Mr.. Lamar by the Re-
publican press, the scurrilous attacks to
which Senators Stanford and Stewart are
now subjected would take precedence.
at is not the intention Of the Post to
insult those gentlemen by the assumption
or even intimation that their votes for
the confirmation Of Mr.. Lamar need any
defense. Time will vindicate their wis
dom and patriotism. and their vindica-
ton will be the condemnation OF those
Senators who allowed q brutal press to
bully them to conduct the reverse Of that
which their original course had dictated.
"Of all the official acts that Senators
Stewart and Stanford have ever per-
formed, there are non upon which they
will in the coming years look back with
greater satisfaction than the votes they
gave for Mr.. Lamar; for they were brave
enough to vote as they believed right,
while the others skulked from their own
sense Of duty, terrified by a gale Of sense.
less passion.
"To suppose that these two Republi.
can Senators need q defense against the
Infamous calumnies that now assail them,
would not only insult them, but impugn
the intelligence Of the American people.
1t is the towards who turned tail under
fire, and did what they knew to be moan.
II is they who need defense, and will
continue to need it, for no defense is pos
sible; and this attack, this i'm.
~putation Of corrupt motives, this hurting
Of v~illainous abuse at the Nevada and
California Senators, is the tribute that
moral cowardice pays to moral courage"

NEYAnA,s

The SENTINEL believes that the bed.
rock Of dull times in Nevada has been
reached and passed, and from this time
on our State will be on the up grade. A
decided turn in our affairs took place last
Summer and Fall. We have had land
boom in this State without knowing. A
vast amount of land was purchased last
season by actual settlers. II shows that
there are people who believe In our soil
and climate. 1t shows further that there
are people who have made up their minds
30 stay with the State through good and
evil report. This is q healthy sign for
our future. One Of the great drawbacks
10 this State has been the unsettled, mi
gratory disposition Of our population.
There was a time in Nevada, not many
years ago either, when no living man or
woman in the State expected to make a
home for a lifetime within our borders.
All regarded themselves as here but tem-
porarily, to better their condition, and
then make homes In some more attractive
locality. And so our State has drifted
along for nearly thirty years. 1t has not
been understood. There are desirable
features of climate and soil here not
equalled elsewhere on the face Of the
earth. People are just beginning to re-
alize these things, and all over the State
there are people who are fixing to live in
Nevada for a life time, who until lately
were ready to float out with the tide.
This means business and a new departure
for our State. 1t meant attachment for
the soil, and incidentally more pride in
the success and general welfare Of our
commonwealth. 1t means ultimately less
corruption and a higher standard Of NOR.
atty among the people. But to secure
and hold the boom which our State de-
serves and invites, we must go to work
and cut the very life out Of our State
and county governments. A Conssitu-
tional Convention is the quick way to do
it. There Is not a county In the State
whose entire official business cannot be
conducted by three competent men. Two
would be ample in Eureka and in a half
dozen other Of the counties. The same
may be said of the State work at Carson.
We will take q contract to do 1t all for
500, 900 o year. 1t now costs $50, 600.
The Legislature should not meet oftener
than once in four years. That would be
nspls. We have too many laws and too
little enforcement Of them now. There
must be radical and relentless reform in
our local systems if we are to grow and
prosper in the future. No country will
command permanent settlers where the
rate of taxation is three or four per cent
per annum. That is as much as money
will earn in the East. 1t is enough to
scare away the desirable immigrant and
keep him away. If there is any sense
in the State, it ought to be able to see
that these things which we have so often
talked about in these columns are deserv.
ing of immediate consideration. The
Lord helps those who help themselves.
Let the devil take the hindmost.

RAILROADS To GROSS NEVADA.

8AEkt&0A HS EO thOeS
II is within the range Of extreme prob
ability that three new lines OF railroad
will cross Nevada from East to West
within the next three years. A fourth
is almost equally certain, but three seems
as good as assured. The fourth, which
we ressrd a. least probable, is the much
talked OF Salt Lake and Los Angeles
road. Unless this can he hitched on TO
one Of the half completed transcontinen.
tai lines, thus forming a link in q through
connection TO the Pacific Coast il will not
be built. As a purely local and indie
pendent enterprise. we have no faith in
it. But we do have great faith in at least
three Of the eastern lines seeking an out
let on the Pacific ocean,. First Of all
comes the c. b. 4 Q. This company
has a dream Of an air line from Chicago
to San Francisco. II is already com.
pleted to Denver. An air line TO San
Francisco would take il through the very
heart of Nevada, and within 20 miles Of
Eureka, to the southwark. The G. b. h
Q. is one Of the strongest corporations in
America. From Denver westward il is
closely allied with the ID. & r. G. II is
already known that the d. 4. r. G. is to
widen it's track to a broad gauge to Salt
Lake the coming season. That this Is In
the interest Of the C. B. & Q. hardly ad.
mits Of q doubt. The continuance Of the
line west from Salt Lanke has become an
absolute necessity. The experience Of
last year has demonstrated that the Cen.
trail Pacific cannot begin to handle all the
freights over the western division. There
have been freight blockades at all points
west from Ogden. So it becomes an i'm.
perative necessity for the G. B. & Q. and
the d. & r. G.. to pool their issues and
90 on through to the coast. They are
forced to do it, whether they like the
undertaking or not. This is new road
No. l to cross Nevada. No. 2 is the
Utah Central. The SENTINEL has private
and exclusive information that this Utah
road will make a dash in early Spring
from Frisco westward. Like the C. B. &
O., ii will pierce the heart Of Central
Nevada. No. 3 will go north Of the Gen.
trail Pacific, somewhere in the vicinity Of
Tuscarors, and thence through Beckwith
Pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains,
and down the Feather river to the Sacra.
mento valley. This latter line across our
State will form the Pacific Coast division
Of the Northwestern road now completed
from Chicago to a point in Wyoming
Territory, north and west Of Cheyenne.
Year by year it is making westward.
That il is destined for the Pacific ocean
does not admit Of a doubt. There may
be other roads that will pass our borders
in the near future also, but regarding the
construction Of the three lines that we
have described, there can hardly be any
sort of question. They are bound to
come, and that too within the next three
years. 1t requires no gift of prophecy
to ~fore.ell that Nevada will be one Of the
brightest stars in the constellation when
thus gridironed with transcontinental

Senator NJ. d. Foley has returned to

month In the East. whittier he went as Q
member of the Republican National Com
mittee to attend the meeting Of that body
in Washington, ID. c., to select the time
and place for holding the coming Presi.
Dental Convention, particulars of which
have already been made known. After
wards he attended the Republican Club
at Chickering Hall in New York, and in
a pleasant conversation with Q Gazette
reporter, he says unqualifiedly that James
G.. Blaine can take the nomination for
President il he desires it. II not, then
the nominee will be some conservative
Republican not yet settled upon. Sena-
tor Foley says that at the meeting in
Chickering Hall, on every occasion when
Blaine's name was mentioned it awakened
the widest enthusiasm among the dele
gates and spectators, who shouted them
selves hoarse, and INDUCED in the widest
demonstrations OF delight by climbing on
the seats and tables and waving their
hats until exhausted. No such demon.
STATIONS were made when tho names OF
other probable candidates were men
toned. and every indication pointed to
the high esteem in which Mr.. Blaine is
held. Senator Foley says that Sherman
is a strong man, but that in case Blaine
declines. several others will make q
strong contest for the coveted place. and
hence Shsrman's prospects are problem
atical. Neither Edmnnds or Ingalls, will
command much strength in the conven-
tion. as they are not considered available,
although holding high positions In the
estimation Of their party.-Reno Gazette.

A CASE.

Suppose there should be a fair and con.
sentative adjustment of the tariff at the
present session Of Congress. Suppose
further that a good many Republican
members should stand with the Demo.

and conservative adjustment. And sup
pose still further, which does not admit
of a superstition at all, that this settle.

politics for a twenty years, as it would,

have to fight about in that case. And
what would become Of Blaine and Pro-
lection as matters for the political ban.
ners of our Republican friends this Fall +!
What, indeed. would become Of Mr..
Blaine himself? Does not tariff revision
at the present session Of Congress mean
the defeat of Mr.. Blaine in the Republi.
can National Convention! And are there
not Republicans in Congress who know
this, and who want to beat him, Blaine
cannot subsist without an issue. To de-
prive him of the only living, tangible
thing before the country, could have no
other result than his overthrow. The
Shermans and Hawleys and Allisons and
Edmunds and ~Stanfords, and the rest Of
those in waiting for the Presidential
lightning to strike them. understand the
situation full well, and are not apt to let
an opportunity pass to promote their own
chances. Mr.. Blaine was prompt to meet
and reply to the message Of President
Cleveland. This attracted wide atten.
tion to himself as the proper man to lead
the opposite view. II was a big card.
played promptly and skillfully. Mr..
Blaine enjoys the reputation in inside
newspaper circles Of being the best adver-
tiser Of his political wares in the world.
A Presidential canvass based on the tariff
issue would make him almost a necessity
to the Republican party. Remove that
issue and some one else is as likely as not
to be the standard bearer. II there is no
tariff in the fight there will be no Blaine
in the fight. ALI this leads Jus to con-
clude that the tariff will be adjusted this
Winter, and that either Sherman or STAN
ford will be the Republican nominee for
the Presidency.
