The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1880-06-22

The little episode reported the other day
IN when an American vessel, displaying the
national c~olors, was fired on by a Spanish
man-of-war, is not to pass unnoticsd, the Sell
ate proceedings reporting instructions received
by MI. Evarts to demand an explanation
This affair very likely contains the germ of a
difficulty with Spain, between which country
and the United States the most delicate rela-
tons have more than once existed. in times
quite recent. The policy of the Spanish
government, as evinced by the tariff regula-
tipns strongly discriminating against the CON-
MERGE OF this country, betrays an unmistaka-
BILE hostility to the United States. and the
incident lately reported may furnish the
needed spark to fire the latent mine of slum-
oerlng resentment into explosive activity.
Unless Secretary Evarts' demand for expla-
nation be couched in the most guarded terms
the testy Spaniard's pundOnOr0 may be an
peaied To, an appeal likely to be strengthened
DIV the fact that as a naval power Spain out
ranks the United States about five to one.

vention. He influenced his subordinates
to follow him to Springfield Nearly every
internal revenue collector in Illinois
obcyed him. AS chairman at SPRING
field he was partisan. As mem
Der of the committee on credentials at
Chicago he was even worse. He deliber-
atcly misstated facts and distorted the
truth. He was the most servile and obse-
quious instrument of the syndicate in Hi
nois, and at the same time the most timid
and fearful. 1t was Raum who, as chair
man of the Springfield convention, an
nounced Logan's packed committees zap

again who, from the chair, made false
statement of the precedents of Illinois con-
ventions at the request of Logan--the in
quiry and reply being evidently precon-
certed. 1t was Raum who, in the same
trucking spirit, sent to the Cook county
delegation at Springfield a special request
for complimentary resolution, and, being
refused, obtained it from delegate from
St. Clair county. Raum was in the con-
spiracy, and as federal official, using his
Office for facnonal ends, one Of the most
guilty members. He induced, if not re-
quired, other officials to violate decency
and justice. 1t is sincerely to lie hoped
that the report of the intention of the presi-
dent to remove Raum will speedily prove
to be true.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE WORK OF CONGRESS DURING THE con-
vENTION-NO RETURN OF ABsENTEEs-
LAwLEssNEss IN THE cITY-INCREAsE OF
THE POLICE FORCE.

THE POLICE FORCE.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. g., June 10, 1880.
In spite of the universal interest center
ing at Chicago, the seat of government has
remained at Washington, and the proceed
ings at the national capitol have not been
destitute of importance. The house has
made another offer to adjourn, but the date
is still too early. 1t passed on Thursday
the general deficiency appropriation
bill, after characteristic wrangling with
the silver problem. Some recognition had
to be made of Secretary Sherman's request
TOR more storage, and the bill appropriated
100000 for that purpose. Mr.. Bland
wanted all the amounts appropriated in the
act and the full amount of congressman S
salaries paid in silver, and was willing to
allow $4,000 for the storage of so much
as might be returned into the treasury in
exchange for silver certificates. Mr.. Towns
bend wanted all federal salaries paid in
silver; Mr.. Warner, all government ex-
penses and obligations" paid in gold or sill
yer coin without discrimination or favor,
but without waving the fright of option"
of course to pay in the baser metal In
the end the original proposition was adopt
ed, and SEQ, 900 more were sacrificed to the
SOHO idea.' The bill also contains
provision that no part Of the appropriation
for marshals and their deputies shall be
used in payment of services rendered at
any election. On Saturday the house
passed the senate bill authorizing
a joint committee to consider the question
of increasing the accommodations of the
library of congress within the capitol, or of
selecting site for it outside, and on Mon.
day, another tardy and perilously urgent
measure--the senate bill confirming the
Ute agreement but with amendments of an
obstructive character.
The senate's achievements have been the
passage of the river and harbor appropria-
ton bill, and Mr.. Eaton's tariff commission
bill. There was an bipartisan, yet firm
majority for keeping this commission out of
politics by excluding congressman from it;
but they were unable to prevent an amend
ment ordering final report in January
next.
The excitement that prevailed during the
Chicago convention has entirely subsidized,
and the overstrained political workers have
relapsed into apathy. Senators Conklng,
Logan, Cameron and Hoar have not return.
ed to their seats in the chamber. Senator
Edmunds hes paired and lett the city Tor
the session. Both halls of congress are
much depleted and the lobby alone of the
national Legislature promises to hang on
with undiminished energy till the day of
adjournment.
Two nights ago there was another at.
tempted outrage and murder of white
woman by "a negro, in the vicinity of the
capitol, and this has caused congress to
pass a bill increasing the police of the
city.

The Popularity of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,"
indicated by the fact that fer Eeyen years its average an
nua New Business has been larger than that of any other
Company in the world is due in great measure to its we'll
known prompnes in the payment of Death Claims and its
rule never to take advantage of tecnalities where an
equitable claim exists

cOus influence of technical policy adhered to by many

ABSOLUTELY INCONTESTABLE.

AN investigation into the use of tobacco,
recently made at Yalo college, shows that
those who attained the best scholarship were
not addicted to the use, while all Of those who
reached only the lower grades were; the moro
excessive the use the lower the grade at-
tanned. There can be no question but that
chewing and smoking tobacco is injurious to
the entire nervous system, and especially to
the brain, the foundation Of all the nerves of
the body. The effects, then, upon the youth
of tho land, who are in the brain and Drawn
formation process, can readily be understood
to be most deleterious.

N is tact that the leading pursuits of the
people of this country must be farming,
that agriculture may flourish and the people

bridges, farming implements, tools, engines,
stoves, wooden ware, cotton and wooden

| notice in your issue of this morning that

to leave their names, age, sex, etc, at
designated points in the city. Where have
they been? Certainly not in the neighbor-

or forty names in that neighborhood that
have not been listed, nor will they be il not
called upon by the enumerators, 1t is, |
think tho sworn duty of the enumerators to
call on the people, not to ask the people to
"leave their names" at this, that, or some
other place 1t is to be hoped that these
officers Of the census bureau will do their
duty, and that Dallas may be shown up on
tho list to 60 advantage. But people
are not required, nor are they expected,
to plod around TO give in their names when
the enumerStors are required to call on the

seventy. was held in the temple of the Con-
gregation, and in the presence of the school
board and large concourse of the parents
and friends OF the school, which is under the
superintendent of their Rabbi, DR.. II. M.
Ben. The subjects examined into were all
the English branches, German and Hebrew.
Specimens of penmanship and compositions
were passed around and proved highly crafty
ing to all concerned. The young misses and
masters acquitted themselves finely and
showed great proficiency in the studies pur-
sue. The school is an honor and Just pride
of the Congregation, as well as all the teach
ers engaged by them.
