There Is no medicine 8ure IN use
than quinIne, particularly in malarious
districts. 4 few years ago congress
felt that the price Of the article ought
to be cheapened, and reduced the
duty on 1t. A corner was at once
formed in quinine, and fer some
months the prices for it were higher
than they had been. Quinine com
manded these high prices because of
its scarcity. As there is a well-regu-
lated law Of supply and demand, the
market of any commodity which is
produced by ingenuity or industry
cannot be long mOnOpollzed. The
British government has turned It's at
tention In India 70 the growth Of the
cinchOna tree, which yields the Peru
Wan bark from which quiniRe is man
ufactured. Millions of trees, planted
in the Nelighery hills are now yield
ing their bark, and quinine is so abun-
dant in India and Ceylon that 4 Tt
dnctiOn has there been made upon it
OF from fifty to seventy cents per
ounce. Iadia is becoming an exporter
of quinine, which it is believed will,
to great extent, destroy the traffic
in opium. 1t will prove a more profit
able export to the English than opium,
and instead of proving deleterious like
the poisonous drug, carry healing in
its wings.

A Chicago dispatch of the 18th says that
the arrests Of tho train robbers Of Missouri
were made on 'pointers" given by a middle
aged woman. She revealed the fact that GER
tain dark and msyterious conferences had
been held in the house Of 81 Chapman near
the scene Of the robbery, and gave the names
OF the participants. As a result OF her talk
and asubsequent N INVESTIGATION 1t is believed by
the detectives that the robbery was planned
by a man named Clark, an expert profession
al train rohber, formerly associated with the
notorious Hoosier Bill. The renegade Clark
is ostens bly, a cattle dealer OF Missouri. 1t
Is thought that his assistants were hoodlums,
green at the business, who believed that their
leader was Jessie Jamos. The day following
the robbery Clark lost u large sum Of money
in Kansas City keno dives and raised moro by
spouting ~jewslry. The mysterious woman
had been ruined and deserted by two Of tie
outlaws, and has long been waiting for re-
venge. The gang we're informed of her mis-
sion 30 early that some Of them escaped, but
more important arrests are expected.

INCUMBENCY OF THE CABINET

The acti on of the Cabinet In rendering
their designations, mention of which is made
in to-day's dispatches, was in pursuance CT =
custom Of courtesy that has obtained within
the past few years. Upon a change of ad-
ministration foreign ministers and others
holding subordinate positions under the de-
partments are in the habit of filing their res
ignations, not, however, with any expecta-
ion of their acceptance. This practice has
grown up since the passage of the tenure-of-
office act. Under this act the President call
not remove any officer appointed by him, ex-
cept for cause. President Arthur had not
the power to remove a single Cabinet officer.
And often in cases where cause exists, or
where the relations of officials are inharmo-
NOUS, it is the practice of the President to
notify the obnoxious official hat his resigpa-
ton will be accepted. The designations Of
the Cabinet were not rendered upon any be-
lief that they would be summarily kicked
out, but in pursuance of The practice of eff
cial courtesy that has sprung up since the
passage of the tenure-of-ofice act. It was .
graceful thing for President Arthur to do, 70
request these oficeIsto continue In the per-
The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1881-09-27

Torrance of their duties. 1t is not at all
probable that all OF them will continue to act
in their present capacities beyond the meet
ing of Congress in December. The dispatch
rather %guardedly says that the designations
are neither accepted nor declined.
The practice of various Vice Presidents in
this matter will be Of interest at this time.
Vice President Tyler, when he succeeded to
the Presidency on the death of General Har-
rison, retained the Cabinet appointed by the
latter until, one after another, they resigned
on account of Tyler's abandonment Of the
Wing policy. But Vice President Fillmore,
when he stepped into the shoes of General
Taylor, at once set up a Cabinet of his own.
When Vice President johnson became Presi.
dent, Congress did not give him the oppor-
tunity to Tylerize his party, as it is termed;
but immediately passed the tenure-of- Office
act. As a matter of fact, one of the charges
in the famous impeachment trial was that
johnson attempted to remove Edwin NJ.
Stanton from the Office of Secretary of War.
At that time Congress was so overwhe' ming
ly Republican that there were but eleven
democrats in both branches. Now, the Senate,
with Arthur transferred to the Presidential
chair, is Democratic, and the House is so
evenly-bslanced that the Republicans have
no assurance for the election of the next
Speaker, unless they can recruit from The
ranks Of the Greenbackers or Independents.
1t is very evident that Mr.. Arthur goes into
power holding a much better hand than Mr..
johnson did, and the parties that were hurl-
ing mud at him but \ short TIM ago are now
conceding that he has the ability to play it
and the honesty to play it well.
