The organ of Mayor Beal pats that gentle
man on the back, and tries to give blm new
courage and more backbone. However DR..
Beal may see fit to act, all true Democrats are
ashamed Of aud condemn his action in appoint
ing his snn-iu-law to the assessorsEip as IA
ssrecoenitIon of the Republ' can party. AS
for his other reason, that of making the ap-
pointment to be courteous to the Republican
council, it no longer exists since they have re-
iected Mr.. Bateman. If DR.. Beal is a DEM
ocrat, he will send in the name of some good
man belonging to the party chat elected him
mayor of Butte, and in that way put himself
right with his constituents.
The Whittakegcourt martial IS. still drag.
ging its slow length along. 1t has been es-
timated that these unfortunate Sits III the
cadets ears have cost the government over
100000, and yet no testimony has been in
troduced tending to implicate Or establish
the guilt of any party in she manning. The
twin scandal-tbe Morey let.er-it seems, has
sunk from the public notice. This isstran9e
We have been repeatedly promised tnat eX-
posures would be iuade that would complo-
mise some of the first men in public life, but
those exposures have not, thus TAI, beennade.
Kenward Philip who was, for some time, the
central iigurein the scandal has not yet been
brought to trial. On the contrary the district
attorney having charge Of his prosecution has
entered or offered TO eIter a nole pros. in his
case, but the stubborn little Engiishman will

tional republican campaign fund and that
given by Abram Hewitt and other prominent
democrats exhausted that search for the for
gers has ceased? If not why Isn't the ''ras-
cal hunted down."
The arrest of Herr Jonas, formerly editor
ofthe TOlhs Zeitung, published in New fork,
in Germany on suspicion Of being a worker
in the interest Of the Socialists, is creating
much excitement among Ike Germans i'll the
former place. Mr.. S. E. Shevtcn, the pres
ent editor OF that paper, who is a Russian
refugee of a good family, was recently inoe:-
viewed by a Truth reporter, when he gave ut
terance to the following -" Mr.. JONAS" he
said with much warmth, "went to Europe to
benefit his health alone. He had passed the
winter in Italy, and was travelling through
Germany on his way back 10 New York, when
the Saxon police pounced upon him, robbed
him OF his private papers and kept him in
prison nine days. Mr.. Jonas was an Ameri-
can citizen, mind you, and as | said ia ray
paper this morning, if the United States does
not wish to lessen itself in The eyes of the
world, it IS high tue that it SHOULD take
measures to prevent its citizens from being
molested by those bandits of German officials.

DORSEY.

Ex-senator Dorsey, the valued secretary OF
the national republican committee, is prolific
of brilliant achievements. His m~anipula-
tons Of S.ar Route contracts are masterpieces
in their line. Thus far he has successfully
c~heckmated Postmaster-Genera! james IN lis
endeavors 10 gather any very damaging testi-
mony against him. AS an evidence Of the in
ventive genius OF the man we have only to re-
fer to the matter of his sending lot Of bonds to
en- Ark. postmaster to be approved in blank
and then having them forwarded @ himself at
Washington to be filed out. After the eE-
posura Of his frauds was made, this post
master was induced to believe that a trip to
Europe would be beneficial to his health.
Dorsey and his friends furnished him with
the money to make the tour. As soon as he
was well on his way, Dorsey, ct. al, to length
en- his wanderiugs gave birth to the report
that the postmaster was a defaUiter.
His management of the Denver case Is an
other evidence of tic mans superior qualif-
cations for the position which he holds in
the republican councils. The following from
the Denver Tribune of a recent date, shows
how the ex-senator and trusted republican
secretary doe his work s'Immediatety af-
ter the exposure of Dorsey's completely III
the Star-route ring frauds, as telegraphed
over the country, attempts were begun to
ouasn a suit which had brought out certain
letters and to obtain possession OF the docu-
ments. Yesterday these efforts were sue
.o..f,,l J1ba laftaPo ura-a SI,rraDlarpi and
Dorsey paid to Wilcox the money for which
the suit was to be brought. The money, as
isl known, is for WilcoX's work in securing
petitions to have routes expedited and sub
letting to smaller contractors. The same day
on which the papers were surrendered, Post
master-General James telegraphed here for
the letters or for certified copies or photo,
graphs of them. The telegram came after
the papers had been surrendered, and parties
interested probably concluded they were
safe; but they ere mista zen. There are GER
titled copies in existence and they will be
used in connection with other documents in
Portland, Oregon"
Notwithstanding his skillful planning James
is in a fair way to beat him in his game. He
is gathering little by little, the points that will
in time, if permitted to be placed before the
country, put Mr.. Dorsey in a position where
he will not, for som time, be able to dispense
the generous corruption funds which he has
for some time been handling in the interests
Of the republican party. Mr.. James has the
hearty wishes of the American people in
the successful prosecution of the good work
which he has begun.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE

The Monetary Conference at Paris has
last advices has not yet reached any definite
conclusions. Nearly every member OF the
conference has made a speech aud the subject
of bi. metallism has been reviewed from every
standpoint including that OF the national and
international. France and the United States
are solid OH the question; Italy appearsto hang
fire; Germany is welded to her thalers and
England throws cold water uponthe meeting.
| While nearly every nation represented at the
conference recognizes the Importance OF ar
irving at some agreement by which the value
of silver may be made uniform throughout
the civilized world, each delegate appears to
approach the subject with preconceived no.
tons regarding it, not al all in harmony with
those entertained by others.
The following taken from late dispatches
shows that the conference proposes 10 proceed
with great caution and IS not disposed to be
hasty in arriving at conclusions. 1t proposes
to remain in session during the coming sum

The following order Of the day was adopt

and examined the Monetary situation rom

gard to declarations made in the name of

ry suspension of sittlngs in order to refer to

The Conference was intensely interested in
| a very able speech by Judge Howe who out
lined the American position on the question
Of bi-metallism in the United States. He said
We are not here in behalf of mine oW ners to
bull the market for silver. Agricultural is our
chief interest. Our annual cotton crop is
worth seven tunes, our heat crop Twelve
times, and our corn crop eighteen times the
average a0uual product of our silver mines.
America is seeking for herself and the world
a bread and stable money basis upon which
thirty Thousand millions of the worlds in
debtedness eau rest. Judge Howe predicted
that his Conference woul1 free the Union on
equal terms or nothing. The Government of
the United States offers to stand side by side
with its sisters represented here in unfolding
the monetary functi ons Of both gold and sill

GARFIELD AS A JOKER.

A Washington dispatch says that Garfield
has made a Joke which expresses his contempt
for the hungry Republican Senators who
have come to regard him during the deadlock
as the animals in a Zoo regard the keeper who
feeds them.
When it was proposed, and discussed in a
Cabinet meeting recently that the President
should follow the example of Washington
and the elder Adams in going in person into
the Executive session Of the senate and stat
ing his case, Secretary Blaine jestipgly sug-
gested that the President get out one OF his
old sermons and preach to the Senate on peace
and harmony, or on duty Of obedience to the
powers that be.
Garfield replied that one Of the patent ser
mons of Dow, Jr., would do from the TEXT
s.The OK kuoweth his masters crib, ali
This remark coming to Senator Kellogg has
made him madden than ever, and he says eli

Withholding the fodder Of patEonase will nell

their rights.

BACKBONE.

Under the above caption the Inter Noun
tain of the 23d inst. gives the result of All in
terview that it's reporter had with Mayor Beal
in regard to the city appointments. The sub
stance Of the interview, the Mayor admits 10
a Miner reporter, is correctly stated by our
evening contemporary. This being the case
the position taken by DR.. B2al in reference
to his appointments becomes a matter of
Which Democrats are compelled TO take no
tice. 1t is we'll known that the Republican
organ in this city first moOted the question Of
making a party fight at the late city election,
and insisted that as the city was Republican
the brotherly-love doctrine of dividing the Of
icers should be ignored, and u square contest
should be made between the parties for polit-
cal supremac Y.
The democrats accepted the gage of battle
and took the Initiative in presenting othe Vot-
ers Of Butte a ticket composed of solid DEM
ocrats with the name of DR.. Beal at its head
as candidate for mayor. The fight was holly
contested by democrats aud DR.. Beai was tri-
umphantly elected. His election was con-
c3ded to be 4 democratic victory, gained BY
tile labors of active, earnest democrats against
an enemy who used every effort to defeat him.
But it appears they have been Mahoned; or in
other words the mayor las Egone back on his
party" While he admits he was elected by
the democrats, he says as may or he ~wili"EnoW
no politics." Right here upon this point the
democrats Will join issue with the mayor. All
Ct, --;,l,l ,,,, ,,,,nt or,>ohIp tEnt - ~,
Beai intended 10 "know no politics" as may
or of the city he should have so stated before
! the convention that nominated him. Simple
justice to the democracy Of Butte demanded
this expression from him. Democrats would
then have known whom to support and would
have probably left the doctor in private life
where he would not have been "persecuted
BY letters and personal applications" for
office.
As the Mayor has chosen a Republican Or
gan for his mouth-piece will he or his organ
please answer the following questions which
an inquiring public is now asking: Did DR..
Beal before the election pledge himself, that
il elected, he would not nominate either
Lou P. Smith, Mr.. Dickinson or Mr. War
field City Marshal? Did or did not DR.. Beal
say before the election that if he was the next
Mayor he would nominate one of the above
named gentleman as Marshal? Did or did
not DR.. Beal say that he did not expect to be
elected, for it was we'll known that if he was
elected he would nominate another one of the
aboye-named gentlemen. as Marshal, and that
| .1-a I-...tal-. ---fI I,F,-+ I;..D Nh.
are fair questions. win the Doctor please
give a direct answer to them The public
awaits his answer.

IT is reported that when Malone heard that
Conkling and Plat had resigned, be petu-
lently said: "Well, this places me in a devil
of a fix" And when it was limited to him
thai probably the Democrats would take adj
vantage of the situation to reorganize the COM
mittees, he ~sorrowfully remarked: Then,
in the name Of God, what is to become Of
me?" Malone has a keen sense of the dan

4 Washington correspondent writing from
the capital soon after Conkfing's resignation
says:
Ex-senator Corkllne's desk and char remain
ed vacant throughout the entire session to-
day. 1t was viewed win deep interest by
Senators and spectators. Upon tine desk re-
posed a small package, containing his morn
ing mail and newspapers, encircled by the
usual band of red tape. Conkliny's seat had
been spoken for before his last reelection by
Senator Hill, Of Georgia, and if he desires he
can have it ROW, as by his resignation, the
incunbents right thereto is forfeited. 1t is
not likely Hill will press his claim under the
circumstances, but if he should he will be
entitled to the seat" a.
AS neither Mr.. Hill nor any other senator
made any movement to take C~0nkling's seat
which is considered one of Tie best in the
senate, it clearly indicates the prevailing be-
lief among senators that Mira Conkling will
occupy it when he returns to Washington.
