a had Place.

In the Harqus Hala mines rough times
are being seen. Great rains have oc.
Cured, 70 which men. women and chill
dren have been exposed in tents and
brush shanties. Two or three hundred
persons Of no means got into the place
before the rush could be stopped. The
heavy rains have rendered both roads and
streams impossible. No provisions can
be taken to the camp. The latest news
from there is that people in the camp are
actually starving. A week ago there
was much sickness and two children died
of pneumonia in one day. The tents
were full Of sick men and women, and
hardly a man among them all had a
"red cent" So much for the Arizona
"boomers." The liars who started the
golden stories Of Harqua Hsla already
are blamable for many deaths.

A..CMrMe. LEeISLATCRE.

Albright and observant resident of Car.
son recently made the remark that a ma
jority Of the present Legislature compri-
SEES the biggest lot Of "chumps" that has
ever assembled at our State Capital.
"Chump." it will be understood, is the
late slang phrase for fool or idiot.
From the character of the legislation
thus far proposed, OIL enacted, it is quite
apparent that the Carson man was not
far out of the way. How the Lottery
bill could ever have passed any represen.
tative body of honest, intelligent and
self-respecting men, surpasses. all under
standing. and more especially : Legisla.
ture wherein "the party Of greas moral
ideas" has q clear working two. thirds ma.
jority in either House as well as The
Governor. 1t can only be explained on
the well established theory that a vast
majority of Republicans in this State are
abject slaves to the power Of the corpo-
~rations and the "bosses," as they are in
all Of the States Of the Union. The
country is to-day ruled on the theory
prom algated by " buy.them.i -blocks.of-
fve'a Dudley of the late National Repub-
lioar Executive Republican Committee,
and senator Quay himself is simply the
tutgrnsth of the Pennsylvania protective
inons poly, aud is as much a "boss" on
agiind scale as are his prototypes in this
stat. IN a lesser degree aud a smaller
iielo More than twenty millions Of dol
,ars were contributed by the monometal.
asts of this country to corrupt and de-
= . oralize the suffrage at the late Presi-
lsntial election. The system which fos.
tiers and enables special classes to do
these things at the expense of the masses
will, as unerringly as the sun, lead to the
ultimate overthrow and extinction Of.
popular Government in America. In the
abstract, we are willing to admit, that
the lottery is no worse than the exclu-.
sive privileges conferred upon favored
trusts by National enactment, but in
conceding this much, we at the same time
reserve the right to say that both. and
all are damaable. 1t is no argument. and
does not add to the correctness Of either
position, to assume that a gentleman who
would welcome a duty Of four dollars a
pound on wool wa a violent and intol-
opponent of the proposed lottery
One iniquity does not justify
The great fundamental and un-
DERIVING principles Of this Government
IRE founded on a broader and deeper
than the sel6shness and greed of
mankind. The GREATEST curse that has
,ver acursed the human family in any
of the world, is dominant to day; yea,
'ampant in this fair land. and consists !

DEFEAT OF THE LOTTERY
AMENDMENT.

We have not yet received the full re-
turns from all Of the counties Of the State
giving the result Of the special election
held on Monday last. Enough is known,
however, to insure the defeat Of what
was commonly known as the Lottery
amendment by . strong majority. The
opposition to it was especially pronounced
and emphatic in most Of the eastern coun.
ties. In this result, the SENTINEL be-
lieves, that the better elements and bet
ter impulses Of the people have asserted
themselves. The people have spoken in
no uncertain way, and schemers against
the public welfare will do well TO heed
the lesson in the future. In the opinion
Of this Journal the name OF the State has
been rescued from a lasting disgrace, and
the result is all the more gratifying be-
cause il can be safely attributed to the
spontaneous uprising Of the people, With
out regard to party, in favor Of correct
methods and wholesome principles in the
conduct Of our local State government.
The peoples cause had neither a sack
nor extraneous pressure, usually called
buIldosing, OF any character to back It.
1t was the act Of the people in their SOW
ereign majesty, uniniuenced save BY the
dictates Of honest, independent manhood,
voicing that higher order Of moral senti-
ment which should End Judgment in the
breast Of every good citizen. Not that
we would say that all who favored the
lottery were bad or corrupt, because
many good men were hoodwinked in n
way or another into a neutral position,
or into giving it a passive support, many
of them being influenced by personal in
terest or the ties Of friendship. Some
few misguided voters also may have
thought that it would rebound in benefit
to the State in a revenue Or peeuniary
sense. But all such conclusions were
simply fallacious. As a matter Of fact,
there was no logical argument to be adj
duced in defense Of the Lottery scheme.
All rational deductions, and all correct
sentiments, were the other way; and, as
we have already said, it was mainly due
to these facts that the election resulted
rs it did. There was also another factor
which carried some weight, though not
in q decisive sense. In some degree the
result was a protest against the hurried
me bod of this special election, or any
ele :tion at all at this time for the osten-
slide purpose Of removing defects from
or organic Act. The undue haste in
which the election was sprung upon them
aroused not only the suspicion, but the
open hostility Of the people. The whole
scheme was open to the seundest obiec-
tions.
We mistake the verdict OF Monday
last fit does not mark a new era and a
new departure in the mode and manner
Of carrying elections in this State. 1t
means, we think, cleaner politics and an
expressed determination OF the part of a
majority Of the voters to free themselves
from the rule Of the corrupt cliques, and
the special cliques, that have SO long
cursed and prostituted the fair name Of
8 our State. II it does this, the election
is worth all that it cost, and the SESrI.
MEL, which played no unimportant part
L
in the contest, will have nc reason for
= further complaint.

The total vote Of both candidates for
