THE SENTINEL was 'launched on
the sea of journalism" years ago; it
has encountered severe trade winds,
several times during the voyage, but,
it has long since reached smooth
water, and a careful study of the
chart, shows that there are no danger
Gus reefs ahead, although a few gusts
of wind may yet be met, but they are
only trifes.

The National Silver Convention.

The arrangements for The Nation
al Silver Convention, to assemble in
Grand Music Hall, ST. Louis, Nov.
26, have been closed. The promot-
ers Of the movement have shown a
great deal of earnestness in the work,
and from advices received, the bust
ness people Of the city appreciate
the Importance Of the Convention
by the manner in which they have
subscribed to the fund for the enter
tainment VI the Delegates and visi-
tora. The indications are, that the
Convention will attract an attend
ance of upwards Of 10000 people,
coming from all parts or the United
States. From the mining country
there will be several special cars,
and displays Of minerals from lead
ing camps. The Grand Music Hall
which has been secured for the Con-
vention, for Nov. 26, 81, %, 30, is
one of the largest and best arranged
halls in the country. 1t has an
adequate seating capacity for both
delegates and spectators, while at
the same time the former are placed
compactly and advantageously.
The entertainment arranged by St.
Louis will include a grand Thanks
giving-day dinner. This will be OF
an elaborate description, and de-
cided novelty. It will probably be
held in the hall of the Merchants
Exchange, which has the largest
floor area Of any hall of its charac-
ter in the country. The hall will
be elegantly decorated with flowers
and the trimmings usually used.
There will also be an entertainment
during the other four days of the
session of the Convention, and st.
Louis will make every effort surpass
herself in caring for her guests.
The Delegate representation will be
large from all the states and terri
tories of the Union. The Governors
of the states and territories to whom
is delegated the authority Of ap-
pointing Delegates, have shown a
great deal of care in selecting the
best possible men for the positions.
The same care will be taken by the
Executive Committee in its selec-
ton of 100 Delegates at large, pro
vided for, from the United States.
The attendance from members and
ex-members Of Congress will also
be large. From present indications,
that the Convention will result IL
great deal of good, and in educat-
ing the people of the country, par
ticularily Of the agricultural dis
tricts, up to the Importance Of the
silver question, outside of what
benefit it may be to those actually
engaged in the mining industry.
there can be but little doubt.

FINE civil service reformers are the
Democrats, truly! The Democratic
Legislature of West Virginia sneaks
out of the duty of announcing the vote
for Governor, and the Democratic Su-
preme Court provides legal method by
which to beat the Republican candidate
out of the Office to which ne was elected
by the people.
In the New Jersey Legislature the
Democrats are engaged in defeating, by
amendments and other delaying obstruc-
tions, the ballot reform, so much needed
to assure fair elections in that State.
The Indiana White Cap Legislature
thought it would be smart, and passed
its partisan bills over the Governors
veto, and adjourned in hurry. 1t did
so, but so great was its hurry that the
bills did not get the signatures of House
and Senate officers requisite to their be-
coming laws, and the Democratic patri-
OTIS feel as though they had fallen into
the holes they had dug to entrap Re-
publicans.

THE Hon. Jonathan Chace, of Rhode
Island, who resigned his United States
Senatorship and became private citi-
zen on Monday, was the only real Quaker
in Congress, and his custom of wearing
always shad- bellied coats, of using
"thee" and "thou" in his ordinary talk
and of kissing his wife when bidding
her good day in the street or other meet
ing place, would make him conspicuous
in Washington were he not a hard
worker, a good debater and a protective
tariff expert. His resignation will be a
loss to Congress and the Republican
party, as he was above the average Sen
ator in ability and industry. More than
likely his successor will be Ex-Governor
Peabody Wetmore, a protectionist like
himself. Mr.. Chace's resignation from
the Senate to retire to private life has
very few precedents. Senators accept
Cabinet positions, etc, and die off, but
almost never resign to private life.

SOME one, in a letter in the ohio State
Journal, modestly asks the Legislatures
to vote $4,000 for a military display at
the coming centennial celebration of
Washington's Inauguration, at New
York We have not seen any statement
of the amount invested in the recent in
auguration at Washington in exhibiting
our gorgeous militia and gorgeous com
mander-in-c chief ard staff. Our recol-
lection is the appropriation bill as re-
ported proposes to set apart $4,000
for the ensuing year for the military.
This is Independent, of course, of both
the affairs named, and is intended main
ly to pay the expenses of encampments,
and the like.
Would it not be better to invest mon
ey wasted upon our useless militia
gorgeous in peace, but useless in war
in rehabilitating the public works of
the State? They may be made of ser
vice to the people. The military bu-
reau is a useless drain upon the Treas
ury.

SPONGING THE TIGFR.
\ WONDERFUL TALE OF AN IGNORAN'
CoSsACK's MARROW ESCAPE.

A WONDERFUL TALE OF AN IGNORANT
CossACK's NARROW ESCAPE.
London Times.
When Pezon, the lion tanner, was at
Moscow with his menagerie, he had oc-
casion to employ mouiik, a fine speci-
men of Cossack, to clean out the cages
Of the wild beasts. The Cossack did
not understand a word of French. and
the terms of the contract were settled in
dumb show. BY way of instructing
him in his new duties Pezon went
through sort of pantomime with the
broom, sponge and water bucket. The
moujik watched him closely and appear
ed fully to understand the details of the
lesson given.
Next morning. armed with q broom,
a bucket and sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to and quietly step
ped in, as he had seen his master step
on the previous day into two cages Of
harmless bruteS, but this one happened
to be tenanted by a splendid but I'M
tanned tiger, that lay stretched on the
floor fast asleep. At the noise made bv
and closing the door the creature
raised its head and turned its green eyes
full on the man, who, all unconscious OF
his danger. stood in the corner dipping
his big sponge into the bucket
At that moment PeZon came out of
his caravan and was struck dumb by the
terrible sight that met his gaze What
could he do to warn the man of his dan
ger? \ sound, movement on his part
might enrage the great beast and hasten
Its attack on the defenSeleSs CoSSack.
20 Pezon stood awaiting developments,
ready to rush to the scene when the cri-
sis came. The mOujik, sponge in hand.
coolIy approached the tiger and made
ready to rub him down with the stolidi-
ty OF military bootblack polishing his
Captains boots. The sudden applica-
ton of cold water to its hide evidently
produced very agreeable effect on the
tiger, for it began to purr, stretched out
its paws, rolled on its back, and COM
placently offered every part OF its body
to the vigorous treatment Of the mouiik,
who went on Scrabbing with might and
main.
All the while PezOn stood there with
his eyes wide open and as if nailed to
the spot. When he had finished his job
the Cossack left the cage as quietly as
he had entered it, and it required the
most energetic and expressive gestures
on the part of the lion-tamer to prevent
his repeating the experiment on a sec
Ond wild beast

WILLIAM d. HOWELLS.

New York World.
William D. uoweES is living quietly
in tAis city and is at work on a New
York novel. 1t is said that Howells
read in the newspapers that Robert
Louis Stevenson intended to settle here
soon and become the novelist of the
metropolis. To forestall this design the
exponent Of realism in American fiction
haStened to New York and is now
studying the varied phases Of life which
make this the most cosmopolitan city
in the world. But there need be no ri
valry between Howells and Stevenson
in this matter. There is sufficient un-
used material for fiction in New York
to give occupation to a dozen men of
real ability.

II is not only among the statesmen
in Washington City that the persistent
importantly of Oflice-seekers has be-
come an almost insulferable distress.
Long before the trouble opened in real
earnestness in Washington, pushers of
home petitions were in active circula-
ton. a few years ago there were many
men who bOasted that they made it a
strict rule, without exception, never to
sign petition for office. Where are
those men now? Either bothered into
their graves, or gone over to the majori-
ty who have found that the easiest
method is to drop all conscientious con-
siderations and sign without question
every petition that comes in sight.

STATESNENS SALARIES.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The resignation of Senator Chace, of
Rhode Island, on the plea that he can not
afford to retain the position any longer,
is made the text OF another argument in
favor of increasing Congressional salaries
to $1,000. The usual argument is heard
that the statesmen can not live in Wash
ingtOn on the salaries allowed them. and
that the immense correspondence which
they have to attend to requires them to
hire clerks at their own expense.
If $4,000 a year would increase the in
telligence and disinterestedneSS of our
legislators it would be the best invest
mpnt that could be made with the peO-
pies money. But it is worth while to no
tice that there is an element of humbug
in the logic by which it is urged There
is no public requirement that Senators or
Representatives shall live in style cost
ing over 5000 a year. \ statesman can
get very comfortable quarters, wear de
cent clothes. and provide schooling and
sustenance for his family out of that sum-
He may not be able to support a grand
mansion and give immense entertain
ments on that income: but there is no
constitutional necessity for him to do so,
and If he wishes to cut swell of that
breadth it is just that he should pay for
it out of his private purse.
The talk of the immense correspond
ence of the legislators is good deal on
the same order They have, no doubt,
large correspondence concerning their le
gitimate duties: but the burden of it is
caused by the vice of our Iolitics which
makes them eC Ct3cio private claim SOliC

fOrSWear these functions, and their cor
respondence will be much less unwieidy
Salaries which viii be fair for men Of
fTst-class talent ought to be paid by this
government in executive, legislative. and
judicial positions: but the advance should
not be made for the purpose of paying for
OstentatiOuS entertainments, or to enable
them to transact an immense amount of
extra constitutional business.

GEN. SHERMAN'S ONLY FAVOR.

Chicago Tri5une's Washington Special
One of the strange sights at the White
House since the Inauguration, has been
General Tecumseh Sherman pleading for
the retention of the ex-Confederate Gen
eral, Joseph Johnston, as Railroad Com
missioner. 1t is the only favor, he said
which he would ask from the Admins
ton, and his heart was set on seeing the
man who surrendered to him kept in office
in old age. General Johnston is past 20,
and has been one of the least offensive of
the Southern Brigadiers whom Cleveland
brought to Washington. 1t is doubtful,
however, if the President accedeS to the
request of General Sherman, as there are
a number of Confederate Generals. such
as LOngtreet, Malone and MOsby, who
have borne a great manyrebuffS from the
Southern chivalry, SO called, because of
their adherence to the Republican party.
and President Harrison thinks it his duty
to provide for these men in preference to
Confederate General such as General
Johnston.

AUDACIOUS RASCALS.

The audacity Of robbers in Beaver az d

their eyes to see if they are awake, and
whether this be really Pennsylvania and
the year 1899.
When, in the neighborhood of Union
town, burglars toast the feet of farmers
to make them yield mp their treasure,
and near New Brighton, in masked
gangs overpower watchmen and blow
safes open, it is time to talk of Vigi-
lance Committees.
\ few wholesome examples will put
a quick end to this business. The coun-
ty authorities should at once bend all
their energies to discovering the crimi-
nails. Hardly too high price can e
paid for their capture. To let them es-
cape by negligence or inetliciency on the
part of the police will surely encourage
them to bolder outrages.

additional Editorial on first page.

IT is surprising, when one reflects Sc
riously upon the matter, the extent OF
dissimulation among men about public
affairs. and the confidence with which
some persons calculate they can deceive
their fellow-men into the support OF
wrong-doing. So great and overshad-
owing has become this evil, and so Sc
rious its effects upon society, that the
President of the United states in
his inaugural address felt impelled to
impress upon his fellOw-me the neces-
sity of having the truth told him about
applicants for office, so that his appoint
ments would be worthy ones. No man
who has closely watched our courts of
Justice but realizes the impossibility OF
having jurors invariably render verdicts
s. IN accordance with the oaths they have
taken and the plain law and the plain
testimony. The Indifference of very
many officers to their oaths of Office, and
their utter disregard Of truth and want
of candor in dealing with the people, are
matters of common notoriety and daily
occurrence.
These evils are sapping the very tap
roots of government, and the fact that
men can so successfully and so easily
deceive and impose upon their fellow
men, and that the gauzy falsehoods
with which they carry their points are
either unnoticed or passed lightly by,
are calculated to shake ones faith in
human nature.
Men must better acquaint themselves
with the workings of local government,
especially, and must hold officers chosen
by them to stricter accountability TO the
truth, OF the time can not be far dis
tant when reputable men will not con-
sent to stand for Office of any kind, and
holding will become the refuge of
thieves and liars.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN was the most
perfect specimen of truthful and sin
cere man among all the public men of
our history. These characteristics shone
forth in his joint debate with Stephen
A. Douglas in a marked degree, and for
those alone, and Independent of the tre-
mendous questions of public policy dis
cussed, the debates are well worth read
ing. In no volume within our knOwl-
edge, except the Bible, is the nobility of
truth so splendidIy illustrated.
