coon. N CONSTITUTIONAL.
a Bifl with Heart and Sound
Nense IN IL.

We notice that a bill has been intro
duced in the Legislature to provide a
home for INDECENT miners. This is a
good measure, II constitutional. A
similar law was enacted in 1873, Sem
ator Bill Gibson being its author, but
the Supreme Court declared it to be in
violation Of the Constitution. Tie
scheme was to buy q farm and stock it
with COWS and pigs and chickens as a
home for the worn out and disabled
miners Of the State. 1t was believed
that with this start they could make a
living for themselves. There are
many worthy men who do not deserve
tospend their declining years in a hos
pital, and there is no class TO whom
the commonwealth owes a greater debt
Of gratitude than TO the miners and
prospectors. They are the men OF all
others " 40 have pioneered and made
the PaSIi,c Coast what it is to-day.
All Of the wealth and comfort and lux
ury enjoyed by the non-mining class
is traceable to the efforts and hard
ships OF the miners. The success and
business OF every town is directly de-
pendent upon them. In a word, we
have all lived off the miner for forty
years on this coast, and it is but sim
Pile justice that when one Of them
wears out and falls by the way, no
longer able to ARE for himself, he
should be made comfortable at public
expense. A good home for the old vet
Grams Ct the pick and sledge could be
maintained at trifing expense. The
beginning would constitute the chief
cost. With a proper home they could
take care Of themselves. The law OF
1873 was set aside on the ground that
the Constitution did not provide for a
State charity Of the description we
have mentioned. The Court held that
the counties alone could legally pro-
vide for INDECENT persons. We thought
at the time that it was a strained and
hair-splitting Interpretation Of the
organic Act and we think so yet. II
the author Of the bill under notice can
discover a way to obyiate the objec-
tons Of the Court his measure should
become a law. II we were a member
Of the Legislature no bill could be
brought forward for which we would
vote with greater pleasure than one to
provide q home for INDECENT miners.

I.osIng Their I.aherers.

A recent issue Of the Montgomery,
Ala, Advertiser says: "You may
not know" said a man Of prominence
in railroad circles recently, "that if
the present rate Of emigration keeps
up for a few years longer there will
be nc more negroes TO speak OF in
Alabama's fertile black belt. They
are going to the mineral section, TO the
north, to Texas, to California, and to
every other place they can get money
enough to carry them. Singular as it
may seem, the more the negro gets OF
education the more he is filled with
an irresistible desire to travel, and
never is satisfied until he goes some
where outside the boundaries OF the
State in which he lives"

Change OF Hotel PROJECTORS.

John Gregovich this week pur-
chased the San Francisco Hotel of ].
@. Blazer, and Immediately assumed
proprietorship and opened out for
business. This is an old established
hotel, and needs no putting. The
rooms are all furnished with first-class
spring beds and kept in a clearly
manner. Mr.. and Mrs. Gregovich are
we'll and favorably known in this COM
munity, and is a guarantee that the
house will in the future, as in the past
be well conducted. Their charge for
rooms and lodgings will be moderate,
and they solicit q share of the public
patronage. See advertisement in an
other column.

Party ~Exfgeueies.

There is a ~paradoxical situation in
the Nevada Senate this Winter. The
Republicans have no lawyer in that
body. The Democrats have a first
class lawyer in the person Of Senator
Sawyer Of Lincoln county. And yet
party ~exigencies are considered OF
sufficient Importance to force Senator
SAWYER to the tail end of the Judiciary
Committee. This Democratic lawyer
is the only member Of the committee
who can be suspected of possessing
any legal knowledge whatever. The
peculiar construction of the Senate
Judiciary Committee should q
broad grin to spread itself all over the
State.

The Suspended Bank.

The Controller of the Currency has
telegraphed that the California
National Bank must go into the hands
Of a receiver, with the Bank Exam
liner (Mr. Cassidy in charge Of its
affairs. When the Bank Examiner
took charge of the affairs Of the bank
there was SAC, 900 in gold coin in the
vaults. Since then he has collected
$50, 900, making $780, 900 with which
to commence paying off. He thinks
that with care dollar for dollar may be
paid out by the bank and there be a
SLIGHT surplus.

E. ]. Dowlen, formerly superintendent
of the Dunderberg (Atlas) furnaces, is
in charge OF extensive smelling works
at Vancouver, the terminus of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. VIM. III,

Fred Loschenkohl as engineer, and

"It 10 Your Msjesty's Ante,

d. X. Sessions, who used TO edit the
SENTINEL, gave an Eastern friend a
letter Of introduction to Geo. w.
Merrill, U. s. Minister to the Ha:
waiian Islands, not long since. The
Eastern man presented it, and was
shown the sights of Honolulu by the
Minister. Among other things he was
presented to the king, and during his
s%ojourn was invited to a little game of
draw poker at the Imperial Palace.
The presence of royalty exercised no
REFRESHING influence and the usual talk
OF the table was INDUCED in a free and
easy style by all hands. When
nobility, like less favored mortals,
manifested reluctance in putting up the
hazard, the reminder, sit is your
Majesty's ante" promptly came from
the first OF the party TO observe his
backwardness. And so the game ran
along well through the night, Ellis
Majesty" coming out at the little end
Of the horn to the tune OF several
hundred dollars. Whenever he got
" busted he had to go ont and
%rustle,'' or call his chamberlain to sup
ply him with funds, as the case might
be. In this connection We may re-
mark that Colonel Sam Davis OF the
Carson Appeal, who is strongly urged
for the Hawaiian mission, is not a
good enough poker player TO profitably
represent the great interests Of this
country at King Kalakaua's Court.
We respectfully submit the names OF
Judge Rising and DIR. Meiggs as gentle-
men Of greater requirements in this
rare accomplishment. Either would
bring home the crown.

rhe R,wnt Kind Of a Hairp,n.

The nerve Of Mrs. Benjamin Biddle
Of San Diego, is the wonder of the
town. While running a press in her
husbands printing office, her left foot
was caught in the treadle and the upper
joint OF her second toe was taken off.
Biddle went for a surgeon, but none
would dress the toe for less than 1925,
and she said she would pay no such
bill. She took a razor, cut off the
all the shreds of flesh, picked out the
splintered bones and dressed the toe
herself. She is now running the
press with her other foot.

this position involve a still greater

There will be enough Of such demands
to keep his nose on the official grind

he will have but little time for social
pleasures and relaxation from the
weighty cares Of State. However, our
Senator may be relied upon to meet

see that you get due credit for every
persimmon you knock this Winter.
Don't let the lobby monkey with you
too much and you'll be all right.

meningitis.
He has bsen i'll for two weeks, but
but symptoms of brain trouble did NOT
develop until week ago. For several
days he has been unconscious. and his
condition is most critical. A night or
two since two mon were required to hold
him, and during Lis rawlings this morning
he asked that his heart be cut ont and
that he be shot. At times he raves about
religious matters.
The ambulance was summoned to take
him to the hospital. His removal was
advised by the physician in charge OF the
case. who thought that the unfortunate
yonng man would have less opportunity
to do himself or others harm by being
treated at the hospital.
Mr.. Partridge is Canadian and came
here from Hartford, Conn. During his
brief stay here he hos gained many
friends. He was fine athlete and an ad-
mirable Instructor. The Y. NJ. O. A. has
been most attentive TO his wants and will
continue their attentions. Several officers
and members OF the association assisted
in his removal.
Rumors that the yonng man had at
tempted suicide were circulated on the
streets, but they had no foundation in
fact.
