crAN.Na.eAEL AND ROME.

The Catholic Church is not only con-
servative but aggressive. When it has
fixed upon . policy it seldom stops to
count the obstacles in the way. As to
this Clan.na Gael organization. the New
York Herald has been able TO see only
one course for that church to pursue.
The secret methods Of this body may be
winked at. Mere mystery is not a
crime. Some men like to debate behind
closed doors, and as general thing it is
a perfectly harmless eccentricity. But
IL secrecy is the cloak to cover crime,
then the secrecy is itself crime. II it
shall be proven in the Chicago courts
that Clan ma Gael is either directly or in.
directly responsible for the murder Of
DIR. Cronin, Catholic prelstes in this
country will not hesitate to report the
fact to Rome. In that event the head
OF the church will make his will known
in a way not to be misunderstood. II is
not we'll to condemn without ample evi.
dence. Public opinion may possibly be
unjust. What is wanted is hard, unde-
niable iacts-not very difficult to obtain,
we imagine. in the present instance.
Then the church will settle the ques-
tion whether group of mea who claim
the right to murder can also enjoy the
sacraments and privileges of religion.

The Boy Hero Of the Bridge.

at Blairsville. After helping to pull
several people out at the bridge that
black and awful Friday night, he went
to the shops and came back with light
ed locomotive headlight. Standing on
the bridge he turned it this way and
that. not only saving many from being
dashed against the bridge or caught in
the houses that cracked like egg shells
against it, but enabling others to get to
the shore. Several times he was urged
not to stay. but he still kept his place
and held the light. occasionally taking
of his cap and sending up cheer as he
saw one after another safely reach the
bank. Then q wave larger than the 9th.

Moving West.

The Philadelphia Record in 9 recent
editorial, calls attention to the fact that
the young men Of all the Eastern and
Middle States for the last forty years
have been going West. The drain has
greatly weakened the stamina OF some
of the older States. Canada has also
suffered from the same cause. Young
men constantly drift across the lakes
and they seldom return. The Port Hope
Guide, q Canadian newspaper, prints q
list Of 400 young men who have left that
place-a smart town on the lakeside
to better their opportunities in the land
Of the free. These emigrating young
men are of the same class who, at an
earlier period, settled Ohio. Indiana, and
all of the Western States proper. It is
just such men who are now found as the
moving powers in creating the new
Northwestern States just about to enter
the Union. They are rebuilding Seattle
to-day and displaying such pluck and
good sense as to gain praise from the
civilized world.

mERRrLL,s sUcCEssoR.

We hear that there is much disap-
pointment expressed by Republicans in
the western part Of the State because
President Harrison saw proper to go TO
Maine for his Minister to the Hawaiian
Islands. This Office was believed to
belong to Nevada by right Of prior To-
cation. Under the Garfield and Arthur
Administrations it was held by . Ne.
vadan as was also the case under the
Cleveland Administration. r. NJ. Dag.

When President Harrison came in it
was thought that any Nevada Republi

of Senators Jones and Stewart would
have . walk over for the place. Col.
Sam Davis Of the Carson Appeal and
General G. G.. Powning Of the Reno
Journal were each prominently men.
toned in connection with the place. l,
has been generally understood that the
Colonel had the support Of Senator
Stewart while the General was backed
by Senator Jones. Among the know
ing ones Colonel Davis was q redhot
favorite in the pools. selling at long
odds against the field. His defeat
must be all the more disappointing.
But General Powning seems to have
been the more deeply wounded OF the
two. We have the word Of . reporter
of the San Francisco Examiner that
the atmosphere in the vicinity Of the
Palace Hotel wore an indigo hue while
he was hurling anathemas at the Ad-
ministration Of President Harrison for
daring to infringe 9 precedent which
had the solemn sanction Of two pre-
ceding Administration. one Republican
and one Democratic. We fear the re-
suit. This Hawaiian mission business
may be the rock on which the new
Administration il to be wrecked. The
loss Of two such powerful supporters as
Colonel Davis and General Powning,
with their great journals. is . calamity
whose far-reaching consequences cannot
be estimated. We trembls for the fate
Of the Republican party in both State
and Nation.

Mo ROAD Tafs YEAH.

The SENTINEL has pretty reliable infor.
nation that not mile Of railroad will be
built this year in the direction Of our
State. Strong hopes were entertained
early in the Spring that road would be
started from east to west across the State
without delay. These bright prospects
have come to naught. The Union Pacific
had put many surveying parties into the
field and seemed to be intent on literally
tearing up the ground all along the line.
But il now .ranspires that it was all
"bluff, and the only object was to se-
cure better trAdc arrangement with the
Central Pacific. This having been accom-.
plished. the last surveyor was Withdrawn
from the field. and last week all of their
instruments were expressed to the East.
This settles the whole matter for another
year. But second road from the East
will eventually cross Nevada, though its
coming may be long delayed. The State
is sucked orange As il is. and will never
be much else until we get . second road.

Nevada is not . State Of which her
people may justly boast or feel proud.
We know all the good that has proceeded
from these mountains and plains. IL u
not in order to discuss these past achieve
msnts. We prefer to deal with the pres
ent and look to the future. From either
Of these stsndpoints il is important that
something be done and quickly. We want
no part Of Idaho's territory. Idaho would
bring nothing permanent. She is no bet
ter off than Nevada and has no better
future. We want territory capable OF
supporting a large and permanent aeri-
cultural community. Thisis to be found
in Utah. Salt Lake valley is an empire.
Nevada and Utah combined would make
. great and prosperous State. The polisi-
cal questions are unimportant. With
Nevsda's gentle population added there
would be no fear Of Church domination
in the enlarged commonwealth. There
would not be the slightest possibility Of
.theS " tail wsgging the dog" Besides
Utah would thus get statehood as well as
the settlement of the Mormon question.
Two birds would be killed with one stone.
It is the sensible and statesmsnlike thing
to do. The Utah press should join in
demanding at the hands Of Congress an
nexation to Nevada. The people Of that
Territory would get rid Of all OF their
ills at once. We appeal to Congress and
the people interested TO give this subject
earnest consideration. The new Stat.
would be none too large. and with the
capital located at Ogden or Salt Lake. il
would be conveniently accessible from
all sections. We are distinctly in favor
of taking Utah into the Union under the
protecting gentle wing Of Nevada.
