1t is we'll for brethren to dwell together
III unity, but the factions in the Republican
camp evidently don't believe it. The follow
ing from the St. Louis Globe Democrat is
proof of the assertion:
"Either Mr.. Arthur has undergone a won
derful change for the better in nine weeks or
the Chicago Tribune has undergone a wonder
full change of views in that time. About six
weeks ago he TT ibune was doing ita best to
prove MIR. Arthur a murderer now it is do
ing its best to prove him a statesman. Joe
Medill can eat more crow than any other
man in America, with the possible exception
of MI. Murat Halsteal, who las consumed
this bird of freedom in whole dozens in re-
cent years"

THE PRESIDENT.

- The dispatches received to-day are full and
hopeful in regard to the Presidents condition
and prospects for recovery. The circum-
stance of his beginning to take an interest in
matters about him, and asking for bis Cabi-
met officers for the first time, is regarded as
a change for the better. The tumefaction Of
the parotid gland las almost entirely disap-
peared, INC the surgeons are positive that the
lungs have not been affected by blood poison
ing. The character of the wound has
changed, and a pressure upon the spot where
the ball is supposed to be located was not at
tended with pain. The crisis in the Presi-
dents case is certainly reached, and it is the
universal wish and hope of the mass of the
American people that it may lead on to con-
valescence.

FUND.

The fund for Mrs. Garfild has reached the
sum of $751; 1915 with a conditional sub
scription OF $1,000 from thecity of Columbus,
Ohio. This last subscription will be paid
when tue amount subscribed reaches $780,
900. With the funds now paid in the United
States Trust Co., has purchased and now
holds foul per cent registered bonds. to the
amount Of $125 900 Oh which the interest is
$1,000 per annum; This interest will be
paid to Mrs. Garfield during her life and at
her death the principal will be devided
among the surviving children of James A.
Garfield. No part of the money can be re-
turned to the subscribers. If Mrs. Garfield
should decline to receive the interest upon it,
that would remain with the principal, and
upon her death the whole amount would be
paid over to the children.

WORK.

The dispatches Of to-day Inform us of the
names of a number Of persons supposed to
be implicated in the recent train robbery in
Missouri. Tie first pointer" upon which
the officers acted was received from a man
named Chapman, WHO "gave his brother
away" 1t is reported that a number of them
have confessed. A fellow by the name of
Wilkinson was strung up until he saw fit to
talk. Regular procedure under the forms of
law seems like a burlesque upon justice in
cases of this kind. 1t is somewhat analogous
to piracy on the high seas. 1t is a case where
the sentiment Of the civilized world must
decree an abrupt termination to the CUISINES.
of stopping unarmed, helpless and peaceful
travellers Upon the public highways. The
example of Montana in dealing with similar
cases Of a less magnitude is worthy of EMU
lation by the State Of Missouri, if it chooses
to give the world assurance that people can
cross her territory in security from criminals.
In the days of our pre-Terri:orial existence
road agents piled their vocation with impuni-
ty. Conviction was impossible for the reason
that there was no recognized and established
courts, and if there had been it was impossi-
Bile to secure evidence in reference to erim-s
that had been committed in arkness and in
lonely places and upon men, many of whom
could never return to give in evidence. But
the suspicious movements of parties, leaving
the settlements broke and coming back flush,
seemed to point to them as the guilty parties.
One of them by the name of Yeager, nick
named .Red,' was seized by a crowd of ex-
asperated citizens and elevated by means of
a rope over a limb, in the hope that he would
let something drop. He did give away the
whole business beautifully, protesting that
he intended to do some good before he died,
and upon his statement the early hanging of
road agents in the Territory proceeded. The
action OF the vigilantes Of Montana was based
on evidence that no court would have re-
ceived but there were nc mistakes in the
early work of this organization, and the roads
to and from Montana aud about the Territory
were made as safe for travellers from that t me
on as the most orderly counties in the world.
1t was a desperate remedy applied to a des-
perste case. Highwaymen everywhere took
note of the fact that Montana people would
not with impunity tolerate that business.
Missouri can learn something to her advantage
from our experience.

More Of the Train Robbery.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. S.--A Post Dispatch Kan.
sas City special has this story of l.. Foote,
the engineer of the robbed train: When
three or four miles from Independence, just
before the crossing of the Missouri Pacific
track, he saw a ~tive-foot pile of stones with a
stick in the top and 4 red rag up on it, and
behind a pole stood the leader of the rob.
oers' who, when the train stopped. said :
"Step down off that engine and do as I tell
you or will kill YOU" With a revolver
pointed at his head, the robber made him get
a coal pick and break down the door of the
express car. Messenger Fox had hid in the
woods, but they threatened me if he didn't
appear; so l called on him to come out,
which he did, and they forced him to open
the safe. They were chagrined lat not get
ting more booty, and jumping on Fox they
beat him with their revolvers fearfully. They
Then marched up to the coaches and covered
US with their revolvers while they robbed the

overthrown by some of the best constitutions
lawyers in the country. The most sensible
suggestion which we have noted in regard to
this delicate question comes from Judge Will
son, one of the best known lawyers in Wash
ington. He deems it clearly the business of
the Vice. President to assume the functions
of the Office and adds:
sIn order to do it decently and with be-
coming dignity, correspondence should, per-
haps, pass between the corps of surgeons in
charge and the Nice-President, in order to
obtain a formal statement of the Presidents
condition. which was now only a matter of
common knowledge. Having obtained this
information in a formal manner, 1t would be
then in keeping for the Yice-President TO an
nounce that, in view of the fact certified to
by the physicians, he would act as President
until such time as General Garfield happily
might, with personal safety, relieve him Of
the unexpected burden lie was obliged to
carry temporarily"
That som ething must be done to settle this
question is clearly apparent. Tine President
is certainly unable to perform his duties at
the present time and his inability may con-
tinue for several months, In the meantime
the country is without a head and business
in some of its departments suffering in conse-
quence thereof.

OUR ANSWER.

The Inter Mountain has earned the unenvi-
able Sobriquet "Artful Dodger" in avoiding
answers to direct questions which the MINER
put toit. Its reasons tor not answering them
are too patent. for comment. But 1ankee-
like the ~self-convicted sheet propounds the
following series of questions to the MINER
which we are prepared to answer fully and
explicitly, without hest alton or equivocation:
Question l. Is there any officer of the MI
NER company who owns stock In the Amy
Silversmith mine
Answer. Mr.. Hyde, one Of the stockhold-
ers in the MINER Pub. Co., owns stock in the
Amy Silversmith.
Question 2. Is not that an over capitalized
mine?
Ans. We have no means of kno wing, Blu
the mere fact that Mr.. Hyde purchased stock
in it after the company was organized and
the mine capitalized is sufficient evidence
that be did not think it was.
Question 8. Is that corporation entirely
free Of the odor of fraud?
Answer. Yes, sir, and we defy any man
to point to an indication of fraud in its pres
ent or past management.
Question 4. Did any officer of the MINER
ever say to a stakeholder of this journal that
he didn't propose to puff Mr.. Meader's mine
(the Belly or any other mine for nothing?
Answer. No. But there was an agree
ment entered into between Mr.. Brown of the
MINER and Mr.. Mantle of the IntersMoun-
tain to..the effect that their respective papers
should not putt any mine. The MINER has
adhered to its agreement. Can the Inter
Mountain say as much?
Question 5. Has not the MINER often
spoken favorably of the developments Of the
Bell. and declared that thousands of tons OF
ore IN that property are now opened to view ?
Answer. Yes, and the MINER believes the
Bell to be a good mine.
Question g.. Have these favorable reports
been paid for-and what was the price?
Answer. Those reports were written with
out money and without price. We will fur
Their add that the MINER has gwen in the
past and intends to give in the future, faithful
and reliable reports of our mines and endeav-
OF as far as it lies in its power to promote all
legitimate mining enterprises. 1t will leave
the putting Of doubtful mining schemes to
journals that have neither the manliness to
refuse brides nor the courage to admit or de-
ny the receiving of them.
