DEATH OF GENERAL SIBERIAN.

General Sherman died in New York
Just 81 the SENTINEL went TO press last
week. He had been confined to his
bed for 9 week prior to his demise. He
was q native Of Ohio and aged 20 years.
His history and achievements are too
we'll known TO the country TO need ex-
tended recspitulation at our hands. IL
is enough to say that he was one Of the
greatest Generals Of the late war and
that both in peace and war he lived
without . blemish upon his character.
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan we're the
prominent figures on the Union side.
Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and 10 John
ston were their counterpart in the Con-
federste army. All are now gone, ex.
cept 10 Johnston. A great many heroes
Of lesser note on either side have also
passed away. Time is fast removing the
chief actors in the greatest conflict OF
arms in ancient or modern times. Let

blotting out the embittered recollections
Of . war that should never have been
fought. The people Of the United
States must live together as one nation
and the more harmonious the union the
better for all sections Of it. The man
who would keep alive the animosities Of
the war, happily closed q quarter Of 3
century ago, is no patriot. This Gov.
eminent should exist in the affections Of
the people rather than to be pinned to-
gether with ~bayonets. The death Of
General Sherman will be sincerely
mourned in every section of the coun.
try and by all who entertain q proper re.
spect for genius and valor. Familiar
with the carnage Of war in the life he
has just laid down, let us hope that he
has entered upon eternal peace in the

There is a little question that the

Advice 40 Miners.

The Virginia Enterprise says the re-
port that deep mining is to be re-
sumed on the Comstock is causing
men to come there in the expectation
that they will obtain employment, but
gives a warning that this is premature,
as it is not certainly known when such
operations will be resumed. There
are, says the Enterprise, lover 400
idle miners and mechanics on the
Comstock. Very nearly all of them
are qualified to fill positions they seek
to occupy, and to this extent they
have the advantage OF outsiders. In
case of accident they know how to act
to save themselves and to help others.
They can detect trouble in the mines
when it is Matching. They are ac-
climated in the depths. Their earn
ings are spent here. They are m
titled to preference and choice"

A Voice From HumboIat.

In speaking OF the refusal Of the
State Senate to sustain the Foley reso-
luton to send for the Constitutional
Convention vote in Eureka county, the
Silver State says:
Why this resolution was voted down
is a mystery and always will be to the
people of Nevada. We're the Senators
voting in the negative afraid that some
light might be thrown upon the sub
ject, and were afraid to find that the
ballot in Eureka county was properly
worded, and that the county gave a
majority for the calling of a Constitu-
tional Convention, and that the error
was committed either Intentionally or
otherwise by the County Clerk OF that
county. 1t certainly looks as if such
was the case.
The same paper further remarks /:
II there is an intention to down the
Constitutional Convention merely in
the interest OF the bosses let the peo-
pie know it. At the same time let the
people know who are responsible for
the act.

INNING.
To Enhance Values Increase Min
ing.

ing.
The Salt Lake Tribune saws: Again
we wish to call the attention OF the
business men in this city to the fact
that the best way to add to the BUSH
ness of the city and to enhance the
values of property here, is to increase
the mining of the Territory. of course
the extension OF railroads is the great
thing, but they require vast sums OF
money. The thing which all business
men can assist in is to start q mining
boom. We do not mean any wildcat
boom, but a legitimate and honest one.
Property is so insecure in the East
that men who have money dare not
invest in business there, and there are
vast sums of money held by the
owners who are anxious to have their
money earning something, but who
dare not risk il in the East. The
thing to do is TO make the showing to
that class that mining is a perfectly
legitimate business, that it is, indeed,
the noblest OF industries, and that
when properly guarded the risk oil
losing money in mining is not so great
as in most forms OF business, BY
combining and spending a little money,
the reservoir of money in the East a
be tapped and set in flow, and once
started it would in a few weeks roar
like a young earthquake. This is
something which should be undertaken
at once, for, because Of the business
congestion and the shaking OF conf
dence among Eastern capitalists, the
prospect is that the work OF this season
will begin rather slowly in this region.

THE sITUATION

OF affairs in Nevada is deplorable and
il any hope is to be taken we fail to
see from whence it is TO come. The
signs point to our present Legislature
ignoring everything that might be of
special benefit to our people. From
time to time we hope for a better state
of affairs to be brought about by those
in authority, only to be doomed to
disappointment.
The signs indicate that every sub
stantial reform measure is to be ig-
nored by the Legislature the Consti-
tutional Convention the Australian
ballot system the looping off OF use
less deputy State officers; the CONSOLE
dating OF county officers; and in fact
it would seem that the more pledges
public servants make, the more are
broken, for it is the exception that one
is kept.
Nevada has become historic as the
/" rotten borough" and be it a shame
Nevertheless, is she not entitled to the

A NOTE OF MAMMA.


So long as the people elect ~tax-esters
instead Of taxpayers to make laws for
them, they must expect to be sold out.
What interest has any man to pass good
laws for q State, when he intends leav-
ing il just ss soon as the Legislature sd-
%iourns, and before, too. if the indigna-
ton Of the district he represents takes
defiant shape? Every county in this
State should send . big delegation to

toll. This advice may be called commu-
nistic, but we think the shameful disre-
gard for their oaths and for the peoples
rights has been so scandalous that harsh
measures are absolutely necessary, and
for them to put in thirty-eight days
more with their hands in the pockets of
the taxpayers clear up to their elbows,
s~quandering money right and left, is too
much to ask q burdened commonwealth
to stand without q kick we'll directed
and vigorously applied. So long as the
people submit to such treatment as they
are receiving at the hands of the Eff
teenth session of the Legislature, just so
long will they be obliged to stand it,
but let them apply the remedy at their
command, and it would soon cease. In
dignation meetings should be held in
every county in the Stste.-Reno Ca

The Gazette is right, and its advice is
not communistic. The people Of Nevada
have Eve times the cause for revolt that
the colonies had for armed resistance
against the oppression Of the British
Crown. The corporation bosses and
their ~lunkeys evidently believe that the
people Of Nevada are a set of cravens
and that they will stand anything that
may be imposed upon them. But they
have bent the bow to its utmost tension
and it Will bear no more before it will
break. The muttering of the people is
growing louder and louder every day. 1t

The Philadelphia Press says that it
costs l cent and 8 mills to coin a silver
dollar at the mint in that city, but it
costs 8 cents to do the work at Carson,
New. 1t says the Government is
bound to keep up the mint in Carson
in the interest OF a few silver miners
and asks if the people will be fooled
and despoiled by these seli-interested
mine-owners. In reply to the above
the Salt Lake Tribune says: We be-
lieve the first statement of the Press is
untrue we believe it does not cost any
more to coin a dollar in Carson than
it does in Philadelphia; except that
the Government keeps the Phila-
delphia mint at work with a full force
all the time and does not do the same by
the Carson mint but we hope it is
true. The Government has stolen
from the silver miners about $70,000,-
900, 50 far, Of their product, and we
wish that every dollar that is coined in
that mint would cost it not only s
cents but 80 cents until it undoes that
