THE

The Finance Committee Of the Repub.
lican Senate reported against the bill for
the free coinage Of silver. The Coinage
Committee Of the Democratic House re-
ported in favor Of the Bland bill for free
coinage. This has been the record OF
the two parties all along the line for
nearly twenty years. The great majority
Of the Democratic party is for silver, the
great majority Of the Republican party
is against it. 1t is a hard battle with
great power and influence on the other
side, but if anything substantial is ever
done for silver it will be mainly by
Democratic votes in the two houses OF
Congress. This situation is easily seen
and understood by the most casual OBJ
server Of current political events. 1t is
not a little strange, therefore, that the
mining States will persist in helping
the;r enemies and ignoring their friends.
In common gratitude alone, il for no
other reason, the mining states snouid
occasionally at least do something in
national politics for the Democratic
party. We have faith that they will
vote this Fall in a way that will sur
prise those who have been relying upon
their support while giving them nothing
but kicks in return for their steadfast
adhesion to party. We can discern al
over the Coast strong disposition
among Republicans to let the Harrison
Administration go entirely by the board
Silver Republicans feel it to be a duty to
administer to the President and his
party a rebuke, and they are very apt &c
do il in a very effective way. II people
mean what they say, Harrison has nj
earthly chance of carrying Nevada.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.

The gold bugs have the dead medicine
somewhere to defeat free coinage or the
silver market would do better. Bland,
Senator Jones and others are saying that
a free coinage bill is sure to pass both
Houses Of Congress. If these predic-
tions be true there should be q material
advance in the price of silver at once.
But there stands the President with the
veto power to prevent legislation. The
low price of silver indicates clearly that
his promise is out to the gold bugs to de.
feat free coinage. Senator Teller says
the discount on silver is costing the State
of Colorado IS, 1000. 600 annually. 1t
costs the State Of Nevada 50, 900. 600 a
year. Bringing the question closer
home, it costs Eureka county. at the
present rate of production, over $500, 600
annually. This sum would do q good
deal Of prospecting in our local mines.
Mr.. Wenban, in his Cortez mines, is be-
ing shaved out Of SIS, 900 q month, or
$3.50, 900 per annum. The discount on
the silver produced by the Diamond
mine, of this District, exceeds $1,000
per month, or more than S36. 900
ally. And so it goes all along the line.
The profit Of silver mining is largely
eaten up by the discount OF the output.
Some men are predicting that silver will
ultimately be forced down to 70 cents an
ounce. II that should be the case, about
ell Of the mines in the country would Of
necessity close down. These indisputa-
able facts show how vital an issue the
silver question is to the mining States Of
the West. 1t shows further that we
should all lay aside every other consider.
alton except the sole idea Of the better
ment Of this leading interest in the com.
ing election. No man should receive
our votes for President who 10 not for
silver. Harrison lie not the man for the
mining States.

aRnrHER AND SISTER.

A Huron, S. D., special says: In 1881
3 young man. II. W. Williams. came to
this city from Illinois. He remained
until the following spring. when he went
farther West, accumulated some money
and went TO Chicago, where he is now
engaged in the leather business. Will
Jams parents lived rear Springfield, Ill.
His father was killed in the battle Of
Corinth. His mother had just given
birth to a girl baby. The shock broke
her down, and she and the baby went to
San Francisco to live with Mrs. Todd. q
half sister, leaving young Williams in
the care OF q family, who eventually
adopted him. Mrs. Williams died, and
the girl became known as Helen Williams
Todd. Intimate friends Of Mrs. Todd
removed from San Francisco to Chicago,
and during the winter Of lSSS she and
Miss Helen visited them. At o recep-
ton Williams and Miss Todd met. Theac.
qusintance rapidly %ripened, and there were
frequent exchanges Of letters. This went
on for two years when Miss Todd went
to Chicago to live with friends on Drexel
boulevard, her foster mother having died.
The friendship between Williams and
herself budded into love, and blossomed
into an engagement, and the date for the
wedding was set. A few days before the
event was to take place, Miss Todd was
looking over a package Of old papers left
by her foster mother. These letters
gave a faint clue to her brother. She
turned them over to her betrothed and
asked his assistance. A photograph
found with the letters matched n Of
his mother in his possession, and further
research showed that the two were
brother and sister.

A CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.

The SENTINEL learns from a.direct and
reliable scarce that Hon. William Wood
burn is q a pronounced candidate for
United States Senator to succeed the
Hon. VIM. NJ. Stewart. He will take
the stump and make a canvass of the en-.
tire State. urging his claims to the honor
on the attention OF the voters with vigor
and diligence from start to finish. He
is not in political accord with Senator
Stewart and other Republican leaders,
and his canvass is quite ap. to be con-
siderably spiced with personal and politi.
cal records. 1t seems to be o determined
fact that there is to be a good deal Of up.
heaval in Nevada this Fall, likewise some
fun. We have not heard as to this
point. but presume that Mr.. WOODBURY.
and his friends will make a dash to con.
trol the Republican primaries, with .
view to putting up legislative tickets in
his interest. II may also transpire that
the Hon. A. @. Cleveland will prove an
important factor in the coming battle.
Since Cleveland secured the franchise for
a competing railroad across the State
there has developed ct bedrock more or
less friction in circles that had hitherto
maintained the most cordial relations.
There is distrust in various directions.
A truce may possibly be patched up
for the time being, but the indications
at this writing are that harmony is out
Of the question. All that several pro-
minent Republican gentlemen desire is
to see an opening to advance upon the
main chance. "Politics make strange
bedfellows, is an old saying. A good
many strange things seem imminent in
the approaching election in Nevada, and
with the Australian ballot no m n can
foretell where the lightning may strike.
II is our deliberate opinion that the
seemingly secure are very much insecure.
But as the slaughter is all to be among our
Republican friends on the front benches,
Democrats can afford to look on with
composure, conscious Of their ability to
administer on the effects should the war
prove one Of determination.

THE CHAMPION LAZY NAN.

The edifying spectacle Of a man taking
poison because he was literally too lazy
to live is reported from Jones Station. a
small place near Hamilton, Ohio. For
some time W. s. Eaman has been noted
as the LATEST man in the village, and was
the common butt for the ,idicule of all
Ct his companions. He was a big. awk-
ward fellow, 25 years of age, and was
never known to do the slightest labor.
He hung around home. living at the ex-
pense Of his parents and brothers. AT
last the family got sick OF supporting the
big, strong, lazy drone, and his father
told him that be had got to brace mp and
go to work like a man. The young fell
low made no reply but left the room,
muttering as he went: "Well, I'll go
to a country where work is unknown"
He went to the drug store and bought q
lot of morphine; then he took it TO the
nearest saloon and took q big dose Of IL.
He fell into a stupor and restorstives Of
all kinds were administered to him with
but little success. However he stuck
TO IL that he would sooner die than live
and work. His life is ~despaired Of.

A RUMoR.


We do not want 10 father il. but there
is q rumor current in local political cir.
clss that II. NJ. Levy, President OF the
Hale 4 Norcross aud Savage Mining
Companies, is believed to be qualifying
himself 10 compete for the Nevada Sena'
torship at the ensuing election. He has
spent the last four months on the Com
stock, and it requires but six months to
gain q legal residence in the State. As
a matter Of fact some Of our highest
public officials have not thought it neces'
sary to reside here at all. Mr.. Levy
possesses the chief qualification, and
more, OF the modern Senator. he COM
bines both wealth and ability. He is q
millionaire. He has business acumen OF
the highes. possible order. He is a Re
publican. Iu two months more he will
be q bona 6de, and not q carpet-bag res
ident OF the State. What more is
wanted! He embraces all OF the ele-
ments Of q successful campaign for the
Senatorship. We do not say positively
that he is, or will be q candidate for the
place, but the probability Of such move
on his part has been quietly mooted both
in Nevada and among his friends and ad.
mirers at the Bay. 1t ID. argued that he
must have political designs Of some
character or else he would not have re.
NAMED through all the inclement Winter
within our elevated borders. While he
is deeply interested in the development
of the hidden wealth Of the great Com
stock lode. it is observed that he never
remained here so long before. The polit-
ical and speculative world has therefore
concluded that he is after Stewards seat.
That he has q fair show Of securing il we
will neither affirm nor deny, since mat
tiers seem q little more uncertain in Ne
vada this year than usual, but il we
were on confidential terms with Senator
Stewart we would tell him to look to his
fences. Mr.. Levy is a man who gener-
ally gets "thar" with both feet when he
undertakes anything. He covers the
situation and sweeps so clean that there
is nothing left for the other fellow. His
great wealth and shrewdness for business
are sure to make q favorable impression
on a large following Of Nevada voters.
He is not a coming man. He is already
here. Personally and socially we have a
kindly feeling for this new Richmond,
and while we draw the line at politics
we beg to assure him that we shall be
more than gratifed to see the Republi-
cans adopt him as their standard. bearer.
We are for him on the Republican ticket.
But he cannot win the fight on a non-ss-
sessable basis. He will have to assess
himself pretty deep to get through.
This is q time.honored custom in Nevada,
and the tribute the boys exact to eIalt
either saint or sinner. "Soap" does
the business, and Mr.. Levy can transfer
himself from the Presidency Of the Hale
& Norcross to the Senate Of the United
States by simply putting up for it. And
why not? He is no worse than some
others who are barking at him.

LET THE PEOPLE VOTE.

A bill has been introduced in Congress
providing that U. S. Senators shall be
elected by the people. No State has
suffered more than Nevada by the gath
ering of a Legislature elected solely to
send an already chosen mar to the
United States Senate. Men elected
simply because they are willing to pledge
themselves unreservedly to this or that
candidate, and placed on a ticket simply
because they are popular make a sorry
mess of legislation when they reach Car
son. There have been plenty of men Of
excellent calibre, sound business judg-
ment and proven honesty elected to a
Nevada Legislature, but they were able
TO accomplish very little against a mob
IF men who were there simply to draw a
salary, grind private axes and make a
general exhibition Of their incompetency.
Most Of them gather their grip sack and

out Of the ordeal disgraced for life. II
the welfare of the State was first in the
minds Of the voters and not the success
Of this or that Senatorial candidate, the
Ease would be quite different. Take the
election of a U. s. Senator out Of the
hands of a pliable Legislature and the
good results can scarcely be calculated.

State to the other. 1t is idle TO talk
about machine politics" under such cir
cumstapces. Almost the unanimous
sentiment Of the New York Democracy
is for Hill for the Presidency. There
is no going behind this condition
Of things. There is no man in the
Democratic party who can so certainly
carry New York as Senator Hill, and
that should settle the nomination at
Chicago. 1t is now manifest that Hill is
immensely popular. He could get the
delegation from his own State as well in
May % in February. The early con-
~yention was held for . double purpose.
To put aside the p~retentions that Cleve-
land was the strongest mar in New York
and to notify the other States that ii
was useless 10 send Cleveland delegations
to Chicago. And now the Cleveland
Mugwumps will try to defeat the nomi-
nation Of Senator Hill. 1t will be their
tactics at Chicago and in the press to
make ii appear il possible that it is not
advisable to take any candidate from
New York. With them II will be "any.
thing to beat HILL" This should not be
permitted. Western Democrats in par
ticular must see that it is not done. But
for Hill springing up in New York and
beating him out Of the delegation we
would have had Cleveland over again,

Democratic nominee for the Presidency.
Hill has done his party and his country
a great service by preventing this, and
