To the credit of that official be it said, Sec
rotary Schurz has exhausted every, resource to
procure the apprehension of the murderers Of
Thornburg and Meeker by peaceful means,
that the offenders might be accorded a fair
trial and punished by legal process if found
guilty; but now that this very laudable policy
has been unsuccessful, it is sincerely to be
hoped that he will be equally active in ex-
hausting every resource to arrive at the same
result by energetic inc decisive military
operations. The Utes are not prepared for Q
winter campaign, or they would never have
attempted to delay operations by the recent
parley at the agency, and now is the time to
strike a blow that will effectually impress up
on them the fact that the government is
no longer to be trifled with, and inficts the
same u~nerring punishment for the crime OF
murder, whether the guilty parties be red or
white.

Wary Official,

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-An Albany dispatch
to the Tribune says: "Mr. Wendell, the
newly elected State Treasurer, has declared
that he should not assume the office until the
books of the Office used during the two years
of Mackin's term had been all examined and
the history of Mackin's administration made
thoroughly clear. The trouble seems to have
been that State Treasurer Mackin called the
checks cash. However, when the Comptroller
called his attention to the condition of affairs
Mackin endorsed the checks and converted
them into cash. Now all the existing State
officers are satisfied"

money.

To the notice of all our Republican friends
who claim that political cipher dispatches are
a Democratic invention, and that all the
frauds in Louisiana elections are chargeable
to the Democracy, we beg to submit the testi-
mony now being adduced at the Kellogg
Spofford subcommittee investigation. The
honorable methods by which the Immaculate
kellogg was elected to his present position in
the Senate shine out with resplendent lustre,
rejecting great credit OF his ingenuity and
cheek, but not much on his character as an
honest man. His probable displacement by
the " revolutionary majority" will therefore
prove q serious affliction to the Republican
machine; for, with Senators Morton and
Chandler in their graves, and with Patterson
and kellogg equally removed from the arena
of political strife, the present Administration
will be left entirely without efficient party
managers" That state of affairs would prove
disastrous TO Republican supremacy, since it
is only by the skillful manipulation of South
ern election returns INT the employment of
the Kellogg system of acquiring power that
The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1879-12-02

stalwsts Of that stamp ever attain to a seat
in the national councils. Hence it is Gcsira-
BILE that kellogg should be whitewashed, no
matter how clearly his corruption may be es-
tablished. It is stated in the dispatches that
Kellogg will offer no direct testimony in his
own behalf, but it is not stated whether this
high resolve is the result of virtuous indigna-
ton at the proceedings or whether it is be-
cause he can procure no testimony which
would tend to his exonoration. Those who
peruse the evidence as reported by the Press
Associated are invited to form their own con-
clusion on that point. 1t is safe to say that
all Republicans of conscience will unite with
the Democrats in condemning the dishonest
practices to which the carpet-bag Senate re-
sorted to secure his election. In a case Of
this kind political prejudices should be cast
aside and blatant and INSCRIPTIONS tricksters
of the Kellogg stamp should receive all that
public denunciation which the iniquity Of
their conduct naturally calls forth from all
upright men, be they Democrats or Republic
nops

Fire Panic.

. . Of. .r. +-rH
ST.. Louis, Nov. 26.-Between 10 and II
O'Clock this morning a fire was discovered IN
one of the rooms on the ground floor OF the
Webster school house on Eleventh and JEFF
ferson streets, the largest primary school
building in the city. The school fire alarm
was Immediately struck, and the teachers and
scholars throughout the building apprised OF
the danger. The children on the ground
floor got out safely and in good order, but
those oil the upper floors were seized with
panic, and rushed wildly and shrieking in
terror to the stairways, down which they
hurled themselves in the greatest confusion.
The pressure was so great on the stairs be-
tween the second and ground floors that the
banister gave way, and several children were
precipitated to the floor below. One child
had an arm broken, one was badly hurt about
the head and another severely bruised. Mrs.
Baltazga, a teacher, in her heroic efforts to
stay the rushing tide at the head Of the stairs,
was hurled from her feet, trampled upon and
borne to the bottom, where she was dragged
out very much bruised, but not seriously
hurt. The fire was only a trifling affair, and
was soon mastered.

Tariff LEGISLATION.

NEW YORK, Nov. pa Washington
special says Garfield was asked tonight by a
correspondent whether he thinks the Demo
Gratis will try 70 enact any tariff legislation at
the coming session Of Congress. He replied
that there was a strong tendency in that
direction at the last session, and the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, of which he was a
member, was importuned to bring forward
bills. All the Southern members Of that
committee, Tucker, of Virginia; Gibson, of
Louisiana Mills, Of Texas Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, and FELTON,, of Georgia, are free-trad-
ers, except so far as tariff is needed TO protect
certain articles Of Southern production, such
as sugar, rice, etc. Garfield appears to think
that the conflicting views among the Demo-
Gratis themselves will prevent an agreement
upon a tariff bill next winter.
