The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1879-11-11

L. is a thrifty young man who would
think twice before tying hungry dog TO
post with string of sausases.
One evening he happened to be visiting at
a house where al anonymous letter had been
received that very morning. and by way of
amusement the members of the family took
to teasing him, accusing him of its author
ship.
He takes their railery in earnest and endea-
vors to defend himself, but they pretend not
to attach any weight to his denial. Suddenly
he seiZes the envelope and cries cut triumph
antly;
"Do you see this stamp? Do you think if
| were going to play trick on you I'd put a
postage stamp on the envelope, ell? Not
much"
He is acquitted without lea"ing the parlor.
Joseph is brave workman, loving the la
Dor and the saving, and giving not sou to the
merchants of wine. All that which he gains
re-enters to the house and serves to make big
little pile.
The comrades blarney this good boy, of
whom the sobriety astonishes them, and, from
time to time, knowing that he has always the
pocket well garnished, they from him borrow
a little of money.
Joseph, the first days, not having any rea-
sonable preteXt to refuse, was letting himself
be done by the friends.
IN order to subtract himself from all these
eXigencies, the brave Joseph has imagined
this here:
All the Mondays we see him before the door
of the workshop, the hairs in disorder, the
knot of his cravat flying upon his shoulders,
executing the zigzag, characteristics of the
true drunkard, and saying, "The friends are
the friends! have made the spree-not one
sou left"
We not him demand more nothing Con ne
l,ti de'ndnde Plus rien), and some minutes af-

Our deeds are like children that are born
to us ; they live and act apart from our own
will. Nay, children may die, but deeds new
er; they have an indcstructible life both in
and out of our consciousness.

If you would add lustre to your accom-
plishments, study modest behavior. To
excel in anything valuable is great, but to be
above conceit on account of ones accomplish
ments, is greater.

In the opinion OF the Springfield Republican,
there has been an exchange OF base between
the parties upon the exercise Of the veto
power. 1t was the democratic national conyen-
ton in 1856 which said" We are decidedly o.
posed to taking from the President the qualified
veto power by which he Is enabled to suspend
the passage OF bill whose merits cannot Sc
cure two-thirds the Senate and House." 1t was
John Logan who said, as republican manager OF
Johnson's Impeachment in 1885, that blocking
the government by vetoing an appropriation
bill when two thirds were not ready to pass It.
was an Improper use of power" and imprac;i-
cable

II Sir Bartle Frere and Lord Chelmsford had
been more successful In carrying out their blun
game with Cetywayo their unauthorized course
would have been excused by its results. Unfort-
uIateiy the move was a failure and the respon-
sibiity falls heavily upon them. Neither is de-
tended so far as the present matter is con-
cerned even by his party associates. To be
sure Sir Barrie Frere escaped the proposed vote
OF censure. but II would seem that this result
was brought about by the consideration urged
by Lord Graf brook that his recall would be the
punishment and degradation for one fault OF
an eminent man who had brought the South
African colonies into complete and unprece-
dented harmony with the home government
and with each other. Sir Bartle Frere's past
services are held To cond0ne his present error

Inc proposition for the mixed occupation Of
Roumelia In the interval between the evacua-
ton by the Russians and the Introduction OF the
new constitution Is an important one as affect
Ing the interests Of all the leading European
nations The rulers OF the great powers most
prominent In such an arrangement are each
hampered by matters unconnected with Turkish
politics witch would seem to prevent the gain
Ing OF special advantage through the difficult
Ties OF the others by any one OF them. The
Russian rulers must tread carefully for fear OF
an explosion OF nihilist dynamite. England Is
bothered with South African and Afghan en-
gagements- Bismarck suffers defeat On oues-
lions OF internal policy though he manages to
hold the socialists at arms length

The disaster upon the New York elevated
railroad yesterday will afford fresh material
for the opposition to the road As usual, mis-
placed switch was at fault, but, curiously
enough, there was no loss of life attendant
upon this collision In the air, as Is commonly
the case In collisions on terra firma. The trains
were fortunately running at a low rate OF
speed, but II they had been thrown from the
tracks and down upon the streets below. II
Is easy to be seen that the loss of life must have
been fearful, both amongst the passengers and
the people upon the streets

1t Is said that something of the same kind of
prejudice as that on the Pacific slope against
the Chinese Is developing in Kansas against
the colored people who are flocking from the
South to that state, looking upon its territory
as the aggregate OF numberless forty-acre lots,
each with It's accompanying mule, This feel
Ing must. and doubtless Will, be conquered.
The immigrants are not "moOn-eyed lepers -
70 use Kearney's playful phrase, but men and
brethren, and moreover voters.

The Fresh Compromise Talk.

The assertion is again made that the Presi-
dent Will sign the legislative bill with the COM
promise repeal OF the supervisors law attached
thereto. AS stated In THs STAR a day or two
ago, there is the best authority for saving that
he viii not approve the bill with the proposed
legislation attached. It Is also under stood
among those cognizant of such matters that the
Cabinet Is a unit In holding the same view OF
the question. 1t would appear from this that
the only hope OF compromise" Is the posi-
bility that the democrats may conclude to con-
tent themselves with the repeal OF the obnoxious
jurors test oath law and the statutes authorH-
Ing the presence of troops at the polls, ana
allow the supervisors law, which the PreSloenI
considers q wholesome one, to remain In force.
1t is doubtful II the democrats Will consent 10
this. IL is understood that the New YORK DEM
ocrats lay great stress upon the repeal Oh tnat
law as the turning point In the coming preS1-
Dental election Reckoning New York as the
pivotal state 1t becomes a prime necessity to
carry New York city by democratic majority
sufficient to overcome any possible republican
majority In the country part of the state.
This they may fail to do il the election ma
chtnery is left In the hands OF the republicans;
hence the democrats are likely to insist peril
naciously upon the repeal of the supervisors
law or It's essential modification, aud hence the
prospect OF deadlock In Congress.

Attention is again called to the astonishing
decline in the Potomac fisheries, and the meas
ures proposed to prevent their extinction by
the facts and opinions, published elsewhere, as
obtained from an old Potomac fisherman. The
outlook from his standpoint Is a Sufficiently
gloomy one. He bears testimony to the disap-
pearance Of the fish, but has no faith In the
theory that preventing the flow into the river
OF the waste products of coal tar, or restocking
by artificial propagation Will tend to remedy
matters. The many who do look upon these
measures as effective, and as the proper ones to
be adopted at some future time win, however.
agree with Capt. Stewart, that restrictive leg
islation by Virginia ana Maryland, is what is
urgently and Immediately needed, and that
without such legislation the fisheries will never
be restored.
