NeNada'n Mnr Claim.

The news comes from Washington
that the House Committee on Wa
Claims, has reported favorably the
bill to reimburse the States of Cali
f~ernia, Oregon and Nevada, for money
expended by them in organizing troops
during the war Of the rebellion. Ne
vada's share in the bill amounts to a
little over $400, 900. This, at the pres
ent time, when, in consequence OF
adverse legislation, once prosperous
mining camps are depopulated, and
drought has made farms unproductive,
and starvation and snow storms al
most annihilated the herds and focks
OF the State, will be a real
God-send and it may keep the ma
chinery OF the State, which has to be
oiled from the school fund, running a
few years longer, but the sooner the
people realize the fact that our State
and county governments are altogether
too complex and expensive for our
limited population and resources, the
better.
II Nevada hopes to maintain State
hood it must remodel its constitution,
abolish unnecessary offices and reduce
expenses at the earliest possible day.

on the floor, besides another act not
fit to name in public print. We are
loath to believe hat any grown per-
son had anything to do with so con-
temptible an outrage, and believe it
must have been the act of some young
hoodlum attending school. The Trus-
tees should do all in their power to
ferret out the viscious offender, and
not only have him expelled from
school, but give him a term in the
county Jail. 1t may save him a term
in the State Prison in later years.

Is IT A BRIBR?

The Butte City Mining Journal says
Holy John Wanamaker and a few
other Philadelphia protectionists have
presented to the wife Of President Har-
rison a cottage at Cape May. Some per-
sons profess TO think il remarkable that
the president would permit his wife
TO accept so costly a gift at this par
ticular juncture OF affairs. We do not
agree with them. They knew the
man, and while the present went to
the wife, the husband is none the less
beneficiary. 1t was an indirect way OF
reaching him and worthy OF the en-
tire canting crowd who were partici-
pants in the transaction. Harrison
has vet some time to serve, and while
he has thus far been very slow at re-
memDering political ~favors, there is no
special reason why he should forget
financial ones. Upon receipt Of the
present Mrs. Harrison is said to have
remarked that it is the first real estate
she ever owned. She might have
added that she would have remained
a long time in Indiana before she
would have owned any from the
source from which this came. She can
hardly claim the gift as a tribute tc
her personal worth, for she knew
Wanamaker long before she was the
wife OF a president, and had that been
the case il would have been presented
then. On, no, the cottage was not fol
you, madam. 1t was for your hus'
band and was given with a view Of
placing him under obligations that he
will be called upon TO pay.

Governor and Mrs. Adams.

Ex-Governor !. w. Adams went
over from his White Pine cattle ranch
last week and met Mrs. Adams at
Salt Lake. Mrs. Adams had been
visiting her old home in the East
since January last. They returned to
White Pine via Deseret and Snake Val
ley and Osceola. A gentleman who
met them in Salt Lake informs the
SENTINEL that the Ex-Governor and
his charming wife we're in excellent
health and fine spirits. Many
courtesies and attentions were shown
them by old friends during their brief
stay in Zion. The Governors herds
wintered well, and he is now on the
high road OF prosperity in his White
Pine operations, a fact which his
numerous friends throughout the
State will be glad to learn.

Grand Master Booher's visit.

w. w. Booher, Grand Master OF the
Independent Order OF Odd Fellows Of
Nevada, arrived in Eureka on Tues
day last from Belmont by private con-
veyance. Mr.. Booher is making a
tour OF the State to ascertain the
status OF the Order throughout his ju-
risdiction. He departed for Hamilton
by stage on Wednesday morning, and
was accompanied from here to Ham
ilton by Grand Warden w. S Beard.
The Grand Master will continue on to
Phoebe, proceed thence to Salt Lake
City, and then to his home at Elko,
which will complete the circuit. To a
SENTINEL representative Mr.. Booher
stated that he had, so far on his trip,
had a very pleasant journey. He
is q very affable gentleman and made
many friends during his brief stay in
Eureka by his transformations ann
and genial ways. A delegation OF Eu-

by Grand Representative j. j.. Baird,
entertained the Grand Master with

Ffrebugs warned.

Last Tuesday, June oath, an at
tempt was made to set fire to the town
of Elko. About II o'clock midnight
Sheriff Barnard discovered three dry
goods boxes on fire in the rear Of E.

citizens the fire was put out, and il
a discovered that the boxes had
been saturated with kerosene. The
fire was undoubtedly started by in
cendiaries. This morning when the
people awoke they found placed in
most conspicuous places several
hundred oil the following circulars:
"Fire-bugs, take warningl The
gallows are ready and hanging ready
to begin. Suspicious characters had
better give Elko a wide berth. By

The citizens are determined that the
scenes so often enacted at Fresno and
other California towns will not occur
here, and if the perpetrators are
caught they will be most summarily

The Federal election Bill.

The House, after minor business
Saturday, the Goth ult., went into the
Committee OF the Whole on the
Federal Election bill and McAdoo, of
New Jersey, spoke in opposition to the
measure.
Bland, of Missouri, twitted Nc
Comas for having taken away from the
black men OF the District OF Columbia
the power of local government and
never giving it to them again. This
resulted in an uproar on.the floor. Bland
and McComas shouted at the top of
their voices amid the applause Of their
colleagues and the galleries. Nc
Comas declared when Bland affected
interest in sight of eight or ten
thousand black voters while during
long service here he never raised his
voice in behalf of the eight or ten
millions Of poor and oppressed black
men in the country. He felt like call
ing him a ~hypocrite. Bland vehe-
mently declared that McComas and
his colleagues were hypocrites in pre-
tending for party purposes an unfelt
interest in the negro. AT this point
the uproar became great.

Halter Executions.

The scene at the Potts execution at
Elko is calculated to encourage a
movement in favor Of execution by
electricity. ~Sickening as it was it has
been more than equalled on at least
one occasion in California. The San
Francisco Bulletin says: Some
years ago a man was hanged at an in
terror county seat, when his head was
actually jerked off by the drop. Those
who witnessed the hanging of Runk in
this city some years ago will remember
the labored breathing and gasping
which Mortified the spectators for some
minutes, owing to the improper adjust
ment of the moose. Modern mechani-
cal methods have Invested the rope of
some of the barbarism which once
distinguished its use, and which has
prevailed until a comparatively late
date in some parts of Europe, but it
still remains a method of execution,
abhorrent at the best, and in which SO
much depends upon skillful adoption
Of means to ends as TO always threaten
a scene Of horror beyond expectation.
A sense Of propriety as we'll as human
ity has long protested against it,"

preme Court forthwith. The case is

rue POPULATION or NEVADA.


bANet ctates
George l. Lammon, Supervisor OF the
Census for Nevada, estimates the
population Of the State at 5000. As
complete returns had not been re-
ceived from the enumeration the official
returns may vary a few hundred from
his estimate. In 1880 the population of
the State was 62,2G6, which, assuming
the Supervisors estimate to be correct
would indicate a loss OF IL, 900 in popu-
lation in the last decade. This loss is
wholly attributable to the abandon
ment OF mining camps by reason Of
the decline in price of silver caused by
the demonetization act Of 1873.
The Silver State for years has been
directing attention to the fact that the
population OF Nevada was steadily de-
creasing and that it was farcial for its
few thousand inhabitants to attempt
to maintain a State Government
modelled after that Of States with
millions OF people. 1t is now apparent
to every intelligent person that a
change must be made, and made soon
to save the State from bankruptcy, as
the game Of placing irrdeeemable
bonds for gold coin in an irreduceable
school fund is nearly played out.
State and county officers must be con-
solidated and the Legislature reduced
from sixty to twenty, or at the most,
twenty-five members.
Let the people argue and differ as
much as they please on national poll
tics, but unite in electing men to the
Executive and Legislative Depart
ments OF the State Government who
will endeavor to reduce expenses
rather than advance party interests by
creating places for spoilsmen.

The decision Of the Supreme Court
on Wednesday Of last week, settles the
question in regard to the State paying
the expenses OF the counties which
were incurred in the special election
in February, 1889. The State will
have to pay, and it is probably right
in law that it should, although as a
matter of even-handed justice the
counties whose representatives voted
for the lottery scheme ought to foot,
not only their own bills, but also those
Of other counties, which had no hand
in entailing such expenses upon the
people.-Reno Journal.
