II the present sYssem Of explosions con-
tinues, and inventors make engines OF
destruction to tear previous productions
all TO pieces there will be an end to war
and arbitration will be the means OF set
Ting trouble.
The latest heard Of is from Maxim,
who has invented some Of the most dead
ly weapons now in use, to the effect that
he has in contemplation . desth-deAlIng
monster which viii eclipse all others now
in use, and revoIusionize the entire art OF
war, if not make it absolutely impossible
in the future. He proposes to solve the
problem Of the possibilities Of actual
serial nAvigation-in other words by .
combination Of balloon and dynamite.
For two years he has been engaged upon
his scheme. His propelliDg power is
steam, which will be generated in 9
Whitworth steel boiler BY petroleum.
The mode of propulsion is BY two huge
wooden screws eighteen feet in diameter,
which will revolve with great rspidity.
The inventor says, with much confidence:
81 have built e motor weighing l.sOo
pounds which will lift 10000 pounds, 50
you see what q margin l have left" He
says further that he will test his machine
as follows: It will be placed at an angle
Of about one foo. in eighteen inches on 3
railroad track twelve feet wide. At 30
miles an hour il will barely skim along,
the pressure Of the sir underneath it be-
ing then equal to one pound per square
foot, or just sufficient to lift it. At IS
miles an hour it will begin TO rise. and as
the speed increases it will mount higher.
When you want to descend you will
slaeken speed, or if you wish to proceed
in q straight line q certain hight, you will
come down to thirty miles an hour. II

enter upon the work until l was con-
WINGED that the idea was practicable.
Assuming that Mr.. MAxim's huge air
ship will rise and can be kept under con.
troll, be suggests as one OF its practicable
uses the dropping Of dynamite upon cit
les, Notifications, armies or vessels. He
holds out this cheerful prospect: "If l

the air across the channel and drop half
a ton of nisro-glycerine upon an Eng.

rHE ASSASSINATION OF wM. j
PENROsE.


The news of the assassination Of Editor
Penrose in Butte last week was received
with deep regret by q host Of old friends
in Nevada, and especially here in Eureka.
where he formerly lived. 1t was one Of
those diAbolical crimes that is always
shocking to the community. Editor Pen.
rose deserved q better fate, for he was .
man of warm and generous impulses and
especially devoted to his friends. After
becoming established in Butte he did
many clever turns for former Nevadans
who needed his assistance. He welded
a commanding power and influence in his
new home. This showed that there was
q great deal Of push and energy in the
man. We know Of no man on the Pacific
Coast who grew more than Penrose did
in ten years. He did his first newspaper
work for the SENTINEL. II is not putting
it too strong to say that he rapidly de.
yeloped into q writer Of more than ordin.
airy force and ability. He was also 8
very fluent public speaker. He was
twice elected from Silver Bow county to
the Montana Legislature. where he ex-
erted q controlling influence in shaping
the important legislation of the new
State. We are profoundly sorry to hear
Of the untimely taking off of this man of
energy and brains. We remembered
him among the bravest and truest Of
friends. May the sod press lightly on
his rave.

of an army Of hungry toilers who will eat

NOT PoPULAs VERDICT.

Probably there has not been Of late
years such another gross exhibition Of
judicial partiality as the charge to the
jury Of Lord Chief Justice Coleridge 10
the nov celebrated bsccarat case. II was
an argument, and = highly-eolored one
at that. against plaintiff Cumming. and
not q cool, iudicious and Judicial presen-
tation Of the law to the jury, together
with = calm and unbiased review Of the
testimony. No wonder the crowds about
the Court Kissed the verdict and cheered
the yanquished.
Whether Cumming cheated at cards or
not has little to do with the very evident
fact that the Prince of Wales is a black
guard and vulgsrisn Of the lowest kind,
aud that his infamous connection with
this case has done more to render royalty
odious in England than anything that has
happened in twenty years. A royal roue
and hsbitual card sharp, who carries his
gambling Layout" around with him
from house to house, who claims to see
cheating going on and never says q word
until after the affair is over, and then in
= sneaking and covert manners one
whom no self-respecting juryman ought
to believe, or would believe, on oath.
If Cumming is expelled from the Eng
lish army, the Prince Of Wales should
be literally kicked out of it.-Sacramentc

NEVADA, As SHE -,

We would like to boom our State, and
at the sane time feel justified in the
work. We like Nevada and her sage
brush. A continuous residence here Of
more than thirty years proves our devo-
ton. The Nevada climate il the most
glorious 10 the world, and this the beat
place on earth to live If there were busi-
ness and employment for the people
Bat under present conditions these are
lacking. Can the conditions be improved
Yes. there are several ways By which
the situation can be bettered. First,
silver 1t par would give rs the biggest
lift. That fact alone would bring $1,000
new people to the State. The next best
thing that could happen TO Us would be
the construction Of q competing line OF
railroad scross 4 borders 10 California.
Unquestionably We have more good sgri-
cultural Isnd than almost any other State
in the union. Bat with all appliances
there can never be water enough secured
to iuigste ID. Much Of il viii be utilized
in the distant future when the public
lands shall have been all taken IN other
parts Of the country, but this process Of
settlement will necessarily be slow.
There IL no inducemens for . man 10 de-
vote his energies to agricultural pursuits
in Nevada at this time. He has DO mar
kst at home for what be may produce,
and the Central Pacific will not allow
him to ship anything out OF the State at
. rate that will return . profit. So here
We are with the greatest source on
earth, buthemmsd in on all sides with sd.
verse surroundings and conditions. The
best outlook Of the State 1t this moment
lies 10 the hope that the new Democrats

Of silver with the least possible delay On
its assembling in Decsmber next. With
silver fully restored some of the other
things that we have been talking about
will come along in due time 10 the better.
ment Of the general situation. We can
not expect TO materially increase our
population without new opportunities for
profitable business and employment for
those who would make homes among us.
