BEAUTIFUL LINES,

''The spring has less OF brightness
Every year;
And the snow a shastlier whiteucss
Every year;
Nor do Summer flowers quicken.
Nor autumn frUitage thicken,
As they once did, Tor they sicken
Every year.
1t is growing dar Ser, colder,
Every year.
AS the heart and soul grow older
Every year;
care not for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less and less entranciAs,
Every year,
OF the loves and SORROW blended,
Every year;
OF the charms 6f friendship ended,
Every year;
OF the ties that still might bind me,
Un.n Time 70 Death resign me,
hiy inhrmities remind ME,
Every year
AL how sad to look before Us,
While the is Cloud S grows darker Ger us,
Every year.
When the blossoms ere faded,
That 10 bloom, we might have aided

"Yau are growing old, " they tell rs
Every year.
"You are more alone" they tell Us
Every year;
You can win 10 new affection,

Deeper sOrrOw and detection

Yes! the shores of life are shifting
Every year;
And We are seawsrd drifting
Every year;
Old places changing lTet uS,
The living more forget uIs,
There are fewer u regret Is

But the truur life draws higher
Every year,
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighterI
And the heavy burden Lighter,
And the dawn Immortal brighter

A clustering fellow recently under

man on the railway cars near Bur

seat with the clergyman, and after
several attempts to drag him into
conversation, seized him by the ear,
saying: "See here, mister, you've
got ter answer this question" Turn

marked You are a stranger to me,
and I do not wish to be insulted by
you. VIII you please let go Of my

grin. Look here, my friend, I had

force, but you must take your hands

ork, Jersey Olty, Brooklyn and Ho'

New York, Jersey slty, Brooklyn and Ho-
boken are technically separate cities, since
each possesses a municipal government of its
owl. But since they are only separated by
township lines, or else by rivers Of no greater
magnitude than run through individual cities
elsewhere, it is proper to consider this group,
in its social bearings and commercial i'm
portance, as forming but one city. Consid-
cred as one city it has a population of two
and a half millions, or the second largest city
in the world whose population has been as
certained with any approach to accuracy.
London has four million inhabitants. Pek-
in. China, is said to have three millions, but
the enumeration of the population is so i'm
perfect in all Asiatic countries, and exaggera-
ton is a vice in which Asiatics are so prone
TO indulge, that there is a good showing OF
reason in claiming for the lAmerican metrop-
oils the distinction of being the second most
populous city in the world.

In the Leadville strike the mine owners
notified the county officials that their property
being threatened they demanded protection,
and that the county would be held RESPONSE
BILE for any damage that might ensue, if the
demand for protection were allowed to pass
unheeded. Forced thus to shoulder the re-
sponsibility in a case involving the possibility
OF damages amounting to some millions OF
dollars, the county officers took active meas
ures for suppressing the threatened lawless-
ness, and also appealed for assistance to tho
Governor of the State. The response to their
appeal was the proclamation of martial law
III Lake county, and the order for all ayaila-
BILE military forces within the State to prepare
at once for active duty. Brought face to face
with the entire civil and military power of
the State, the strikers saw they were over
matched and the strike failed.

In reading the account of the terrible ma
rine disaster, the last to occur in that slaugh-
ter yard of the sea, Long Island Sound, it Is
impossible to repress the thought that there
must somewhere be a shameless Sinking OF
duty to render possible the occurrence of dis
asters of this class. 1t is surely not the cal
~culation that four or five hundred passengers
should he crowded upon a finder box of a
boat so utterly unprovided with fire eXtin-
gushing apparatus that the fire could not he
mastered even when the flames were discov-
cred in their first inciplency, at their first
outbreak from the engine room. Yet this was
substantially the condition of the steamer
when the fire occurred. The supervision
supposed to be exercised by state officials
over passenger carrying vessels must in Now
York DO lodged in hands unworthy of the
responsibility.

When Grant was at Green Bay, Wisconsin,
a week or two ago, lie strolled out of own
early one morning to enjoy the bracing
breezes of Lake Michigan. Just outside the
city limits he encountered a man making all
earnest effort to walk fast with a very clumsy
homemade wooden leg. Something in the
mans appearance led the General to stop him
and ask how he lost his leg. The reply was
that he had lost it in the army. When asked
why he did not get a better leg the man re-
piled that he was poor, had a family TO sup
port, and could not afford it. General Grant
then handed him $25, remarking that it
would assist towards putting him in better
walking condition. The recipient Of this
favor expressed his gratitude in terms most
sincere, but excused himself for not being
able to converse any longer with his benefac-
tor O II the plea that he must /" hurry into town
and do his best to get one more look at his
old commander, General Grant. If he sue
ceeded his happiness would be complete
The General reached out his hand, saying as
he did so, " You need net 60 any further to
see General Grant" With a flush of recog,
milton the old soldier looked into the face
that lie had not seen for fifteen years, his
tears of joy showing that the strong persona
influence always exerted by Grant over hi
followers had not lost its force during tina
stretch OF time.

This year the republican convention of
Deer Lodge county will assemble at Philips
burg, the place of meeting agreed upon at the
last convention held at Butte nearly two
years ago. Where the democratic county
convention is 10 meet has not yet been de-
cided, the selection of the locus of the con-
vention being the p%rerogative of our central
committee. which will likely meet within a
short time. Without attempting to give any
advice in the premises, we may give express
sion to the opinion very generally entertained
among leading democrats, that the convention
should be held at Butte. The last was held
at Deer Lode, SO our county town cannot
very fairly claim the next. But it is not on
the "turn about fair play" principle that
Butte is adjudged the most available site that
could be selected for the next convention.
To paraphrase an expression of National pol
itics, AS goes Butte so goes the county, il.
the next election, a statement that none will
call in question. Since thisl Is admitted, and
| since it is unquestionable that a convention
never fails to strengthen its party in the
neighborhood where it is held, the propriety
Of locating our next convention at the place
where the greatest number will be brought
within range of its benifcent influences be-
comes apparent.

ENLARGEMENT orrHEDAuLY MINER.

To-day it is our pleasant duty to present
cur readers with the Daily MINER enlarged
TO the size of our Helena contemporaries, the
Herald and Independent. In so doing it may
not be amiss to revert to a subject already
mentioned more than once, as there has tor
tunately been more than one occasion on
which it could be appropriately alluded to,
and that is the fact hat the publishers OF the
MINER in the management of their business
are acting on the principle of supplying their
readers with the very best paper that can pos
,sibly be given for the support it receives. OF
this support we have no complaint whatever
TO make. On the contrary, we have every
reason to express our NEST sincere satisfaction,
which we now take occasion to do i'll thankinS
the generous, open handed people of Mon
lana fer their intelligent appreciation of our
efforts to furnish them with a ne wspaper that
is respectable without being dull reliable
without being at all behind the times in the
matter Of collecting and presenting the news.
The MINER has been, and continues to be,
a success in both its daily and its weekly edl-
tions, and no efforts on the part
of its publishers will be spared to
render it even more deserving than 1t
now is Of the favorable reception it receives
by the reading classes of Montana. As for
what those efforts have been in the past we
may state that the present is the fifth time We
have had the pleasure of calling the attention
of our readers to an enlargement OF the
MINER. Beginning with a little twenty-tour
column weekly only four years ago, the
MINER on five different occasions has been
enlarged, until at present the weekly is just
double its original size, whereas the daily, as
presented to-day, is considerably larger than
the weekly was in the first place. Besides this
additional writers have been employed, cores
pondents engaged and arrangements made for
telegraphic dispatches as ample as those
received by any other Montana journal.
With this report we feel we have occasion to
be satisfied but nevertheless We are nowhere
near the limit we have assigned ourselves in
the matter of contemplated improvements.
With a continuance of the patronage at pres
ent bestowed upon it, our daily will soon ex-
p~erience a still further enlargement While
the weekly, popular as it is, is by no means
the newspaper it will be a year from to-day.
In a word, in the future, as in the past, the
MINER will be kept a little more than abreast,
just a little bit in advance, of the standard of
excellence rightfully justified by its support.
To support it a very strong inducement is
offered its subscribers in the fact that its
rnarits will herome STEADILY greater and great
er, as it's circulation increases.

The republican party went into power in
1860 with q president elected by a plurality
vote. In 1864, when the southern states were
shut out by the war of the rebellion, General
Mcclellan, the democratic nominee, had only
p electoral votes in the presidential campaign
Of that year. Four years latert the democratic
nominee, Mr.. Seymour, had eighty electoral
votes in the election of '6S. In Y the death
of the democratic "endorsee," Mr.. Greeley,
an event which occurred before the electoral
votes were cast, led to The scattering Of his
vote among various parties who had been
mentioned in connection with the presidency;
while something like twenty votes were not
counted at all. In '76 the democrats were
united and harmonious, and in consequence
the electoral vote stood l07 for Mr.. Tilden
against 1S4 for Mr.. Hayes, a majority subse-
quently annulledb by returning board chlcane,
The above is the record IF the past sixteen
years. 1t teaches us that the democrats have
been steadily gaining in strength since "a
This year, with a strong ticket and unobjec.
tionable platform, and with the moral sense
of the whole country, office holders apart
outraged by the scandalous fraud of '76, the
step forward to be made by the democrat,
will be even greater than would be required
to keep pace with their advances during the

General Grant has not announced himself
in favor of Hancock for the presidency. The
report that he had determined to support the
democratic nominee arose from the opinion
which he expressed in public to the effect
that Hancock would bs elected. That he

opinion will surprise no one, for General
Grant has always possessed the reputation OF
being candid and truthful. He is not by any
means a great talker, but when he does speak
he says what he thinks.
