How Are the Mighty FaEIen.

Lo and behold, the Deer Lodge paper man
has retired into his shell and has closed down
and shut up. He certainly can not feel sur
prised, though he may feel humilated, for he
has been let down too suddenly to allow of
any selfcomplacency in the matter. Soon
after the election he endeavored to inspire
terror in the hearts of the citizens of Butte,
whom he threatened to 'paralyze' for having
voted as they thought best. He said they
were anxious to escape the thunderbolts of
his wrath, but that they should be 'turned
over' all the same in his editorial columns.
The exact number of citizens who left the
territory on being informed of his Intentions
we have not ascertained, but it is certain that
a great many people haye since that time
bought tickets tor the terminus, assigning va
rious reasons for their departure. But 1t
transpires that there was no occasion tor the
stampede, for those threatened philippcs,
born OF right eous Indignation which were to
be hurled at our devoted heads, have not ap-
peared, and we still live. In the last issue
the editor closes his argument 81 against a
division by one sickly kick which arouses
sympathy rather than resentment. After all
his blowing and growing and sneezing, and
after accomplishing absolutely nothing
towards the solution of a question which
should be discussed logically, dlspas-
sionately and ilOm strictly business
point of view, without ill-feeling and without
partially, he spitefully throws up the sponge
by lame remark about hat, size 81, which
he is very anxious to secure, being as small
at one end as he is large at the other. Like
Falstaff he is all wind, but unlike Falstaf he
has neither tact nor talent to free himself
from the ridiculous positions into which his
are constantly misleading him.

In the the district court of the second iu-
diclal district of the Territory of Montana,
in and for the county of Deer Lodge, Decem-
Der term, 1880.
TO the Hon. VIM. j. Gal5raith,
Judge of said Court,
Your grand jury beg leave to report, we
have fully and carefully investigated all Of
fenses brought to our notice and have found
true bills of indictment in all cases where we
believed the law and the facts would warrant
a conviction. We have visited the county
Jail and made careful examination of the
same and found it in excellent condition,
also visited St. Joseph's hospital and premis-
es, and found the same model of neatness
and cleanliness, and believe that its inmates
could not be in better hands. We unani-
mously recommend reduction in the
territorial levy of taxes, and congratulate
the county upon its condition. Peace, pros
pcrlty and general good order reign through
out its borders. Having disposed of all bus.
mess before us we ask to be discharged.

we are satisfied reading room properly con-
auc'eu wonld be patronized by large num-
oef u Inc single men in our midst. We have
many OF them-more than one would sup
pose-prebably more in proportion to the
numper OF voters than any mining centre in
'he territory. There are over 1000 voters in
the township, and little over 1000 children
uhoer Il years Of age. Now if we allow
three children to each family we have only
ABOUT $50 families and that number of mar
rled men, leaving 1850 single men in our
community. There is no doubt large ma
Jority OF these would prefer to pass their
evenings in some place where they can enjoy
an hour or two in reading rather than visit
the usual places Of night resort for single
men IN the city. If 40 or 80 of them, or a
less number, would associate themselves to-
gether, rent room, purchase a few books
ana subscribe for the leaaing periodicals of
day, they could soon gather an association
that would be able to bear the expenses of
the room without its becoming an appreciable
burden upon individual members. Our
moneyed men could not invest a few dollars
TO better advantage than in the purchase of
books in aid of such an enterprise, 1t would
be the "bread upon the waters" The pleas
ant associations formed in a room of this
kind might arrest the downward course of
some young men and save them from b-com-
ing charge upon the city or county. A few
dollars spent in reading matter might save
the expenditure Of many more paid in the
form of taxes to prosecute and support GRIM
inas.
Here is fine field for our phlanthropists
to open. Aside from the humanitarian view
that may be taken of the subject, it may be
regarded as prominent factor in influencing
the settlement of families in our midst. The
presence of churches, schools, libraries and
reading rooms exercises no little influence in
determining their residence. A reading room
frequently develops into public, library.
AS ne one will question our need of the lat
ter, we may be able to reach it by first intro
ducing the former. Let US, at all events,
have reading room IN Butte.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Indian SchOOls-The Census, Army Re-
tirements-PubIIc Debt-Arrlval Of Con-
a,re

Editor Butte MINER:
Army and Indian schools are comparatively
new in the practice of our government, but
both are officially reported as very successful
and as accomplishing much good. The su-
perntendent of one Indian school in Oregon
has just been notified that a hundred more
pupils will be supplied him in January. The
secretary thinks that it is easier and better to
educate than to kill them.
No appointment made by President Hayes
has given more general satisfaction than that
of Gen. J. A. Walker as superintendent Of the
census, and it is unnecessary to say that the
energy and ability displayed by that official
have justified the public good opinion of him.
His annual report, just placed in the hands
ofSecretary Schurz, shows gratifying progress
in the taking of the most complete census the
world ever saw of any country. The superin-
tendent will have ready the present month
the necessary figures Oh which to have re-
apportionment for the house Of representa-
tives.
The subject of army retirements- the
shelving of old or incapacitated officers for
the benefit of younger ones-has great atten-
ton here just now. Some action by congress
is hoped for by the ambitious juniors. Twen-
ty years from this they will be asking to have
the action reversed. The principal officers
whose places are coveted now ave Inspector
General Marcy, Quartermas.er General
Melgs, Surgeon General Barnes, Major Gener-
al Mcdonald, and Brigadier General Ord
All of them are good officers with excellent
records. None of them are incapacitated for
duty, and none of them are as old as Won
Moltke was at the close OF the German-Frencl
war of 1870. There will be bitter fight in
congress either this winter or next on the sub
ject. At present President Hayes has to beal
the burden, the option to retire or not to re
tire being upon him under present laws.
The public debt was decreased only abou
three and half millions during the month
November. large reduction is promisel
for December. November has ever been {
month in which government receipts were
comparatively low.
The coming session of congress, of course
has attention here. Not hundred mem
bers have arrived, but the daily arrivals ar
numerous now. So far as one can tell iron
what the congressman say before enterin
upon the business of the session, there is nc
one here vet who wishes for an extra ssssio
next spring, Or who wishes in any other wa
to put impediments in the way Of a peaceful
and happy administration under Presidei
Garfield. All are inclined to make the pres
ent session one of business.
The social subjects connected with the III
ausuraton are in good hands. Pelitics drol
ped out after a brief struggle. The proces
sion and the ball, while finer and more eN
tensve than any preceding ones, will also
better managed. WILLIS.

CoAtraslleted.

Editor Butte MINER:
During the recent cold snap, when the
mercury was rustling down between 20 and
35 degrees below zero, your correspondent
was out Oh the road rustling in the interest of
the MINHR. Crossing the Park on the Boul-
der range is net very pleasant Journey to
take at any season of the year, and is now es-
pecially undesirable, when mercury could be
sold for amalgam and the festive breeze from
the north pole is blowing snow on the un-
protected passengers in Gilmer, Salisbury q
Co.'s open sleigh. But everything must
come to an end, SO, on the first day of this
month, my cold and stormy trip across the
giving sigh of relief stepped from the stage,
took my grip-sack in hand, aud was soon dis
cussing the merits of good, square meal in
the Basin hotel dining room.
Basin has improved very much since my
visit there last June. Several stores and sa-
looms, besides two hotels and some dwellings
have been erected. The mines have alse inn
proved under development, but of their mer-
its shall speak in the HOLIDAY MINER.
After staying at Basin few days and
tramping through the snow inspecting the
different mines, I again mounted the coach
and proceeded to Boulder station, twelve
miles distant. Here we connect with the
main overland line. A ride of fourteen
miles brings us to Jefferson City, where
leave the Helena coach and take passage on
Senator Rohrbaugh's palace line for Wickes,
four miles away. At Wickes everything ap-
pears to be fourishing. The Krom mill, 70
verberators and large water jacket are run
ming and doing excellent work. Cords of
bullion are stacked around the works await
ing shipment to the railroad.
1t may be we'll to state in this connection
that the report published in the Inde-
pendent few days since in regard to the Al
ia Montana Company discharging Is men and
shutting down for the winter is mistake.
The "Employee" who gave our worthy CO.
TEN. that information has never been en-
ployed day by that company.
From Wickes to Helena the distance is
soon travelled behind Rohrbaugh's four-in
hand. Half way between Jefferson and
Clancy we were treated to little diversion
IN the way of a lively runaway by our team.
We made quarter Of a mile in very short
space of time, when our Jehu brought the
fiery steeds up against the face of the noun
tain where they were brought to standstill,
and the passengers congratulated themselves
on being more scared than hurt. K.

[From Sundays Daily'l
Theatre.

Mr. Burton Stanley's popularity was fully
attested last night by the size of the audience
present at his benefit. The playing of Gin
derella in Butte, was an experiment and
from what we saw of the piece as presented
last evening, we feel justified in pronouncing
it successful one.
Stanley's rendition of Clorinda was very
artistic one and was vastly amusing, and
when he doubled to the Fairy Queen he fully
maintained the excellence of his delineation.
Master Blasdell made a capital Prince, and
was we'll up in his lines. Miss fuckers
Dandino showed considerable study, though
she was not, to use stage expression, dead
letter. perfect. Hersongs were very nicely sung.
Mr.. Fletchers Alidoro was well done, and
showed care and study. Jack Martins Baron
was immense and created roars of laughter.
Mr.. Martin is commedian of first class abil
sites. Mr.. Wallace performed his somewhat
unimportant part very acceptably, as did also
Miss Ada Clark. Miss Hattie Foley's Gin
derella was played remarkably well. The
lady is the embodiment of grace, has a very
sweet voice, exhibited a thorough acquain-
tance with her lines and evnces an abandon
which gives her acting a spice and flavor sell
dem witnessed. On the whole Cinderella
was very excellcntly played, and .the grand
transformation scene deserved and received
warm round of applause.
