Everybody should read the words ut.
tered by Henry w. Grady at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia. Thoy have the ring of
true Democracy. They are pure gold.
In these days, when we find socialism
not only in the haunts of ignorance and
poverty, with dynamite in its hands and
curses upon its lips, but also in the cen
tres of refinement and wealth, where it
utters strangely seductive theories OF a
government all ~pervading and all con
trolling, it is refreshing to hear this voice
in the South proclaiming the unconquer-
able doctrine of individualism.
Mr.. Grady acknowledges the danger to
the liberties of the people which lies in
the Capitalization of capital:
Economists have held that wheat.
grown everywhere, could never be cor
nered by capital. And yet one man in
Chicago tied the wheat crop in his hand.
kerchief and held it until a sewing wo-
man in my city, working for ninety cents
a week, had to pay him twenty cents tax
on the sack Of -four she bore home in her
famished hands. Three men held the
cotton crop until the English spindles
we're stopped and the lights went out in
three million English homes. Last Sum.
mer one man cornered pork until he had
levied a tax of So per barrel on every
consumer and pocketed a profit Of mil
lions. The Car of Russia would not
have dared to do these things, and yet
there are no secrets in this free govern
ment of oursi"
But he does not turn in despair from
this dark picture and propose modified
socialism, like the ~nationalists Of Boston,
or political chaos. like the anarchists Of
Chicago. He is not tired Of the struggle
which must always exist as long as hu-
manity loves freedom. Here is his rem
edy:
"Exalt the citizen. As the State ia
the unit Of government, he is the unit Of
the State. Teach him that his home is
his castle. and his sovereignty rests be.
meath his hat. Make himself self res.
pecting, self-reliant and responsible. Let
him lean on the State for nothing that
his own arm can do. and on the govern
ment for nothing that his State can do"

Only q Playful Blow.

A New York dispatch Of the 9th

lighter clothing, which is a great relief
to him. Yesterday while sparring with
Cleary in a playful mood, Sullivan
struck him a blow on the ear, knock
ing him senseiess. Many of Sallivan's
old.time friends are continually tele-
graphing and writing to him, asking
leave to visit him. All such requests
are peremptorily refused.
Arrangements are completed for Q
special train in which S%ullivan's back.

Weehawken over the West Shore at
S:l5 Sunday night. Sullivan will join
the party at Rochester Monday after.
noon and start for Cincinnati at 8
that evening. After resting at Gin.
cinnati q few hours the party will go
through to New Orleans by the Queen
and Crescent road. One Of the cars
will contain g punching bag, dumb.

the big fellow may be able to keep in

We read q good deal about trusts in o.
sorts Of commodities in other parts of the
country. Some political economists argue
with Q good deal of force that these com'
bines and trusts are fostered and pro-
noted by the high tariff. The sole OBJ
ject Of q trust is to bleed the public and
realize higher prices. We have right
here ct home the most perfect illustrs.
sion of the whole diabolical system. The
Eureka Con and Richmond wanted to
bleed the miners and make higher profits
from smelling custom ores. just az ell
other trusts are formed they entered into
combination. The high cost oil transpor.
tation to Salt Lake and other smelling
points stands as protection 1.-THE tariff

elsewhere with their ores. This is the
way with every trust. When all sources
of relief are cut off the victim (the great
public ASST is robbed At will. This is pre-
cisely what the two smelters are doing
In Eureka to-day. We do not say that
all the men who are obeying orders and
running the furnaces are thieves, but we
do say that the greed of gain and an in.
ordinate desire for plumber dominated
the hearts of the men who conceived the
damnable scheme against the public
veal. 1t is an outrage, and an indignant
public should blister them with scorn at
every step. All values. all enterprise,
all business prosperity is completely
FRUSTRATED and paralyzed here through

or company who loves money well
enough to ruin and rob his neighbor
to get it, ought to be ~eternally damned,

stfrring TIP Political Btie-What
Fffty-two Mining Claims Have
Prod need.

EDITOR SENTINEL: In my attempt
through your columns to call attention
to the merits OF the Eureka and ada
cent mining districts as mining camps,
and some Of the local reasons TOR the
present ~stagnstion in mining operations,
il seems 1 have disturbed the political
bile Of Ivan C. Michels, Of the gOodly
city Of Washington, the Capital OF the
irrepressible Yankee Nation. The Doc
tor, that is the title by which MIR.
Michels is usually addressed, l believe,
is an ardent silver man., and l assume
from the tone Of his letter to the \
MEL, an equally ardent Democrat or 3
Republican, who wanted, and did not
get, an Office. Now for myself, if / was
in the habit Of using strong language,
and was not afraid Of offending public
taste, 1 would say. Oh d-n politics. /
am entirely willing to devote six months
or a year every four years to politics,
but during the other three years / like
to devote my time to making bread and
| butter and a little money to spend in
politics the fourth year. 1 shall there
fore have to decline any political discus
sion Of the silver question with the Doc.
tor at present. Three years hence | may
feel differently.
And now, Mr.. Editor, to return to my
original object. Leaving out OF consid-
Grafton the mining claims Of the two
principal companies Of the Eureka Dis
trict, the Eureka and Richmond, there
ale seven mining claims that have each
produced ore of over the value Of $780,
| 600; seven additional claims that have
each produced ore exceeding in value
| $50, 900; nineteen additional claims that
have each produced ore exceeding in
value S25 1000, and nineteen additional
claims that have produced ore exceeding
in value $4,000, or 6fty-two claims, ex.
ending the claims Of the Eureka and
Richmond Companies, that have each
produced ore exceeding in value $40, 900.
Some of them have produced ore exceed
ing in value $3.50, 900. The workings on
none exceed a depth of six hundred feet,
and in most OF them not more than two
or three hundred. Over 81, 900, 900 have
been taken out Of Adams Hill alone, the
deepest workings on the ore reaching
only l60 feet. One of the most pros
porous companies did at one time screw
its courage to the sticking point and
sink a shaft 400 feet deep, but when the
Superintendent was about to crosscut to
the ore body they stopped him, and
nothing has been done in that direction
since. Does any one believe for a mo.
ment that the ore does not go down to
the deep in all or most of these mines!
In the light of these and other facts
heretofore given, what mining district
In the State presents a more attractive
field for mining investment? In my
next l shall show that the high grade Of
the ores of the district generally is ex-
ceptional. THOMAS WREN.

The Journal is again reluctantly COM
PEELED TO differ With MI. Cassidy Of the
SESTrSFL and Mr.. Kelley Of the Silver
State. and TO object to the annexation Of
Utah TO Nevada, either for political or
business purposes. Poor as she may be,
Nevada is as well able to maintain .
State Government as any State in the
Union. The total cost is only . quar-
ter Of . million . year. There IL
plenty OF property to meet the neces.
sary tax, and at the same time the
burden is not an onerous one. Some
sections may decrease in value, bat
others will increase the roll ct s27,0O0,.
900 or SIS. 000. 900. And whenever the
people really desire q saving Of $780,
600 per snnum can be effected in the
yearly expenses Of the State Govern
ment. There is no apparent or real
necessity for the constant iteration and
reiteration that Nevada needs Utah or
Idaho or any other outside help. The
State has seen it's worst days, and the
future will prove that il is able TO
take care Of itself, giving good govern.
ment and at little expense.
The above is General Powning's com.
ment on the SKSTISEL's proposition to
annex Utah to Nevada. We hardly
expected any Republican editor in Ne
vada to indorse the idea. As a rule
party exigenoies stand for everything
with them. They would rather bear
the opprobrium of Rotten Borough "
| aud allow San Francisco and the Central
| Pacific railroad to furnish our officers
and govern us than contribute to the
| bringing about of q condition where
| this could not be done. Nor 10 it true
that our people are able to bear the
| burdens OF State and county govern
ments. High taxes are eating out our
very vitals and repelling immigration.
In some Of the counties the rate ap'
proximates five per cent. This is a.
much as money is worth or will earn
in most Of the Eastern States. We
know q case where an Eastern mar
had about concluded the purchase OF q
large stock ranch in this State. When
he learned that his State and county
taxes would amount to four and
half per cent per annum he spurned
the offer and broke off all negotiations
And SO it will always be while pres
emit conditions prevail. We have lived
in Nevada for nearly thirty years and
love all the good and decent achieve
ments in her history quite as well al
my man in it. And it is because Of
our love for her that we would make
her respectable and prosperous.

Getting weary OF the mormops.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 1.-The
persistency with which the Mormon mis-.
sionaries are carrying ON their work in
some parts of West Virginia is beginning
to excite a great deal Of indignation.
There is likely to be trouble soon.
Richie county is at present the scene Of
most active operations. Two elders were
killed, but several more have taken up
permanent quarters there. On Indian
Creek there is quite a large congregation.
and meetings are held weekly, az which
polygamy is not only openly preached,
but attempts are being made to carry the
theory into practice, at least one con-
vert having taken unto himself a sec.
ond wife. In other parts Of the same
county like success has attended the eff
forts Of the missionaries, and in all
there are fifty full-aedged Mormons in
the county. No efforts are made to
transplant the converts.

The telegraph attributes to Mrs. Mac
kay, whose reputation is no longer Amer
ica's but the worlds, IN extreme sensi.
tiyeness that we are accustomed to re-
gard as foreign to the American idea.
Mrs. Mackay's particular cause OF COM
plant at this time is against the london
Echo and the Manchester Examiner, both
of which were audacious enough to say
that the mother Of the wife of the mil
lionaire used to be a washerwoman. Ii
was for this that she is reported to have
instituted q suit for libel against the Eng
lish papers. This is somewhat surprising
when we remember that Mrs. Mackay
was wont to be regarded as an American
woman Of good sense. When people
bring actions in civil suits for libel it is
generally alleged that the offensive pub
LEGATION inhicts grievous mental suffering
upon the libeled party and holds him or
her up to public contempt and scorn. In
this view we greatly fear that our bo.
nanza queen is going to get left" At
least we know that no American jury.
chosen outside of the various four hun
dred" circles, would be able to find any
~prievous cause for complaint in the state
ment of the Echo and Examiner that her
mother was a washer woman. The aver
age American mind would be able to re-
call many daughters of washerwomen
who are bright, honorable women, quite
as good, If not as rich, as the aggrieved
Mrs. Mackay. w have no means OF
knowing whether or not Mrs. Msckay's
mother was q washerwoman, but If she
we're it is hard to see why the proud and
sensitive soul of her daughter should take
offense at a recital Of her family history.
Great and honest hearts may beat under
the plain and homely garb Of the toiler
at the washtub, and, we greatly fear,
oftener than under the fine linen OF those
whom wealth has mada famous. No,
Mrs. Mackay. it will never do to sneer
at washerwomen. 1t may offend some Of
your snobbish society people, but the
heart Of humanity is against you. Gold.
less than honest labor, supplies titles to
our true American aristocracy. Besides,
if the naughty wife OF the Comstock
miner goes too closely into ancestral rela.
tions she may be sorry for il. Not even
her titular worshippers in England have
anything to boast Of in that line. II
would be a proud thing for them could
they boast a lineage so truly royal as this
honest woman at the washtub. No faint
Of murder, robbery or moral degradation
obscures the simple record Of her life. II
was not her lot to conspire. to kill, to
steal, or to live a life Of lustful luxury.
Mrs. Mackay has no cause for action.
Perhaps the time may come when she
will wish that the world might believe
that her mother was an honest washer
woman.-Sacramento Bee.

The funeral Of the late Mrs. Hayes took
place at Fremont, Ohio. on the 2sth ult.
The services were simple and unostentA.
tious, preserving the character OF 3 Pri-
vats rather than q public occasion. An
opportunity was then given to the
throngs of sy~mpathizing visitors from
abroad to view the body. The general
cortege then took up the line OF march to
lakewood Cemetery. where the interment
took place. The body was arrayed IN o
dress oil ivory cream satin, with white
passementerie and lace trimming. The
dress was made for Mrs. Hayes while she
was in the White House. Her appear
ance was most lifelike, her illness being
20 short, and death so sudden that there
was but little emaciation.

rHE ANNEXATION OF UTAH.

The Winnemucca Silver State repro
duces our article entire on the annexation
Of Utah to Nevada, and comments sp-
provingly on the same as follows:
For the economic reasons stated, the
Silver State has favored the annexation
Of Nevada to California. 1t is urged
against that measure that il would de-
prive the Coast OF two Senators in Con
gress, aud proportionately lessen its in
fuence in shaping national legislation.
Smsll.fry politicians, too, who, pulled
with ~self-conceit, imagine themselves
large enough to fill State offices, object
to il, seemingly having sense enough to
know that in q great State their names
would never be mentioned in connection
with such positions. By snnezing Utah,
which has no hope Of being admitted as
A State while the Mormons control it, the
Coast representation in the Senate would
not be reduced, while il would be in
creased by at least one vote in the House
of Representatives. IL is ~nonsensical Tor
the 90. 900 inhabitants OF Nevada to at
tempt longer TO maintain IN expensive
State Government, and the farce must
close within a few years unless the power
Of the Legislature to borrow money Tor
State purposes from the School Fund, IL
extended by constitutional amendment
There is zoe beauty about the PROPOSE
ton, and tina. lie that it may be accom-
plished by Congress without consulting
the /" small-fry politicians" alluded to by
the Silver State. 1t may be done with
out the consent Of Nevada or OF Utah
either. It is not like . change OF boun-
diaries, where two sovereign States are
concerned. In . case Of that kind the
Constitution provides that consent must
be had. In the instance in view
the whole matter may be contaminated
by Congressional enactment. A statute
of two lines will complete the whole
matter. II is only necessary for Con
gress to say "the Territory Of Utah lie
hereby annexed to the State of Nevada"
II there is any craftsmanship in Congress
that body will speedily do this and ask
no questions about IL.

rhe President has the big Head"

The Washington correspondent Of the
San Francisco Examiner telegraphs as
follows, under date of June "a: Senator
Jones of Nevada is the author Of the re.
mark quoted by ex-senator Thomas G.
Platt in mis- Detroit interview. Senator
Jones was sitting in Chamberlain's res
taurant with a party Of other Senators,
who were exchanging views as to the
conduct Of the President in the distribu.
ton of patronage, and one of them re-
marked that the only trouble with Har-
rison was that he had the "big head"
"Big head" remarked Jones; mot only
the big head but he is so swelled up
with his own importance that it is diff.
cult for him to crawl through the large
doors of the White House. If God
Almighty wore q cloak it would not

Carson Tribune: A man summoned as
a Juror 10 a criminal case is asked among
other questions if from what he has heard
or read, he has formed or expressed an
unqualified opinion as to the guilt or in.
nocence of the defendant, and even if the
juror had previously understood the
meaning of the term, the chances are
that he would be so bothered as to forget
whether his opinion was qualified or not.
A man reads in a newspaper Of q homi-
eide committed in his neighborhood and
naturally makes inquiry as to the truth
or falsity of the report, and will be likely
to base his opinion on what he hears and
reads, but that does not fill the meaning
of the term unqualified, not even though
he had expressed an opinion. If q juror
states that he had formed an opinion that
would take testimony to remove, he is
disqualified, whereas it should be the
strongest reason for his eligibility. 1t is
seldom, aver in q street quarrel, that
any two people present see the affair in
the same light, and although a person is
likely to be influenced by those he places
confidence in, he may change an opinion
