A Batch OF Unmltigated Lies.

Last evenings issue of the Inter Mountain
was filled with a batch Of umitigatel lies-the
like of which is seldom crammed into the COL
umns of a newspaper. The slurs on the Off
GERS and delegates of the Democratic Con-
vention we pass as unworthy of notice. The
statement of the Inter Mountain that there
was discord in the Convention is a wholesale
f%a.sehood, stupendous in its proportions. and
entirely unwarranted by any of the proceed
ings of the Convention. The action of the
Convention was harmonious throughout, and
its deliberations were marked by a spirit of
enthusiasm rarely manifested by Il delegate
body. Its proceedings were regular and the
allegations of the Inter Mountain to the con-
trary were manufactured by a mildewed brain
for a base purpose. The lies alluded to were
in the main cungered and concocted by the
fertile brain of the ''chief mogul"-the boss
Of the Darkroom conclave-and furnished
to the scribblers of the sheet in hourly doses
during all day yesterday.

The Fort Benton Rirer Press publishes the
following report OF the Barker mining dis
trjct "Bullding is progressing rapidly and
real estate has an upward tendency. A dozen
new buildings are under way in Leadville,
and several in Hughes and Galena cities
The favorable location and excellent Timber
privileges of Leadvllle make it particularly
desirable for a town site. Work has been
suspended on the Nil Desperandum for a
short time, but at the last stroke of the pick
the lead shows up better than ever. Messrs.
Wetzel, Burns IL Co. are to be commended
for the excellent showing and the amount Of
work expended in thus developing their lead.
The Desperandum can show more ore on the
dump than any other lead in the camp. The
deepest shaft IN the camp is that sunk on the
John Morgan lead, which is down G5 feet be-
low the surface, owned by Messrs. Wheaton,
Mix & Co.. Owing to the solidity of the
walls, 1t was found unnecessary to timber
even at this depth. There is a four-foot lead
Captain Carter, one of the best quatz miners
in the camp, superintendent the work.
Messrs. Kahn, Lambert & Co., have struck it
rich at the forks of Galena creek, a mile
above Hughes City. Ar ore-house has been
built at the entrance of the tunnel on the
Il DeSoto lead, into which the ore is
placed as fast as it is AIKEN out. The owners
are pushing their work rapidly forward, run
ming both night and day shifts. The Sum

the camp"

PROSPER HILL, March 22.-An armis-
tice of forty-eight hours has been con-
cluded in order to terminate the negotia-
tons. The terms Of peace are that all
arms, munitions and other property cap
tured by either side during hostilities shall
be restored that the Transvaal shall be
granted independence, subject to condi-
tons to be hereafter settled by a royal
commission, and that the Boer govern
ment shall commence after the commission
shall have made its report. Meanwhile
the British Germans are to remain in the
Transvaal, without in anywlse interfering
with local affairs. The Boer forces will
disperse forthwith, and Capt. Elliot's
murderer is to be delivered up to justice.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 22.-The press
again invokes the aid of European powers
in Graduating Nihilism, the headquarters
of which is located in Geneva. The pre-
liminary evidence for the trial of Roussa-
koff has been prepared, and the trial only
awaits the completion of the act Of accus-
ing. 1t is expected that all Russian pleni-
potentiaries to foreign courts will meet at
st. Petersburg this week to consider the
foreign policy Of the Empire. The Gear
will preside.
LONDON, March 22.-In the House Of
Commons tonight Gladstone stated that
a telegram from the Transvaal contained
nothing diminishing the hopes of peace.

Especial to the SENTINEL.

SAN Francisco, March 22.-The inquest
in the case Of Capt. James Adams of Eu-
reka, Nevada, killed by Adolph Schander,
commenced this afternoon. The examina-
ton OF the witnesses shows a most aston
ishing lack of observing faculty on the
part of the bystanders. OF all those on
the stand this afternoon, who were present
at the time of the tragedy, only one testi-
fed to actually seeing any shooting done.
and he, McCallan, one Of the proprietors
of the saloon, could not tell WHO COM
menced firing, but saw Schander in the
act of shooting, and a pistol in Adams
hand. Only one or two witnesses remain
to be examined. The inquest was con-
tinued until Thursday.
SAN Francisco, March 22.-In the Kali
loch case, Mr.. Highton begin his argu-
ment for the defense this morning. He
dwelt strongly on the prominence of special
counsel for the prosecution, and the occult
tation of the District Attorney in claiming
that the case was a rather private persecu-
ton, than a prosecution by The people.
An unknown woman last night weighted
her satchel with a f~iat-iron and jumped
into the bay from Meig's wharf. The body
was recovered this morning.

The Virginia City Enterprise, in a little
item on Tombstone, says that 81. E.
James, Superintendent of the Sierra Ne
vada. who some years ago visited Ari-
iona, brought to the Comstock the first
news of the existence of the place called
Tombstone. He visited all parts of the
country, but the only mines that he saw
that appeared to impress him as likely to
prove rich and permanent were those of
Tombstone. For 8 long time after Mr..
james spoke thus favorably of Tombstone
We never saw the name of the place in
print or heard it mentioned"
Now, it may be possible, that the Enter
prise may have heard nothing from Tomb
stone for a long time, but it was heard OF
week after week down this way, and if the
Enterprise had looked very sharp it could
have seen the name in print very often.
The Enterprise has finally found out there
is such a place as Tombstonei By and
by it may find out there are other places
which may empress I" the average Com
stocker. By the way, we remember Mr..
James-remember when he came down
here, and something of the report referred
to, and If we mistake not he not only eon-
demned Tom bstone, but every other camp
he saw down here. The said James exam
ined the Tombstone mines for Hagin g.
Tevis of San Francisco. They were at the
time under the control of one Tozier. who
had them bonded for 800, 900. Joe Clark,
we believe, also examined and reported
upon the Tombstone mines, and con
deinned chem. But after all it turns out
that Comstockers don't know any more
about mines than other people they can
not see below the bottom OF a shaft. The
common !" tender-foot," as they call them,
can see as far underground as the average
Comstocker. Though he may have gained
his mining experience in Utah or Colo
RADIO. it goes for just as much down here
as though it was picked up from a Com
stock dump. Arizona is a great leveler in
more ways than one.

The correspondent Of the Home Jour-
nal was made glad the other night by
seeing, cat President Grevy's, in Paris,
nice. young girls, in short dresses and
low-heeled shoes" He reports that the
casting off of high heels is soon to be
general in Paris, and if in Paris, then the
fashion will soon prevail in New York.
It is as difficult to understand why there
Is such a fascination for the feminine fancy
in high heels as it is to ascertain upon
what principle of good taste the average
m persists in crowding her foot into
a shoe at least a size too small. There is
no beauty in a foot distorted by a tight
boot, and women who crowd that men,
Der into an uncomfortably small cover
ing are the victims Of a delusion similar
to that of the Celestial beings who wear
one size Of wooden shoes from childhood
to old age. The pedal extremity, what
ever the sex of the owner, presents the
best appearance when dressed in a boot
of comfortable size and shape.
Aside from the consideration that a foot
encased in a comfortable shoe is more
pleasing in appearance than one forced
into a wise and mounted upon a high heel,
the effect of bad boots upon the carriage
of the person is worth attention, especial
ly at the part of fashionable people. 1t
is impossible for man or woman to walk
gracefully when mounted on a high heel,
and the hobbling gait of people whose
feet are tortured by high boots makes
them appear ridiculous. Good walkers
are very scarce, chiefly because the ma
jority of people dress their feet i'm
properly. 1t is indispensable to an easy
carriage and grace Of movement that the
feet be clad in coverings. All who know
enough to appreciate the charms OF an
unconstrained bearing and the beauty of
q graceful walk will welcome the advent
of the fashion Of low heels. 1t would be
sensible for fashionable women to rebel
against another introduction of the ini-
quitous fashion of high heels.

Highland Chief, last week. 1t is in Lewis
District, next to the Star & Grove. The

OFFICE SEEKERS.

The Republican party has controlled
the national Government for the last
twenty years. All the officers who de-
rive their appointments from the execu-
tive departments are Republicans. A
vast majority of those hold their posi-
tions under commissions which have not
yet expired. A large share of the rest
occupy their places at the will of the APP
pointing power. The President is re-
ported to have said that he shall not re-
move any Of the present incumbents
whose terms have not expired except for
neglect of duty, and that this will be the
policy Of his administration.
Nevertheless, Washington swarms with
Republican ofice-seekers of every grade
They crowd the streets, fill the hotels,
cucumber the White House, throng the
executive departments, and besiege the
President and his Cabinet they smother
them with petitions and letters Of
recommendation /; they hang upon the
skirts of Senators and Congressman, and
they make themselves disagreeable by
the p~ertinacity with which they urge
their claims to places under the Govern
ment.
This is a great evil, and it grows in
magnitude year by year. Ofice-seekers
have become a distinct and clearly de.
fined class in this country. And yet, Of
all the pursuits that enlist the energies,
stimulate the cupidity, and inspire the
ambition Of men, Office seeking is the
most unsatisfactory and unproductive.
There was never a lottery drawing in
which the prizes were so few in compari
son to the number of the blanks.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1881-03-23

OFFrcE-sEEKINa and office-keeping have
upset the public service in Washington.
As the Springfield Republican describes
it,: "In the Departments, of course. the
Secretaries change. Then the Assistant
Secretaries may have to 90. Then the
Heads OF Bureaus catch the panic, and
start off to look up new influence and
fortlfy their situations. Then the Chief
Clerks. seeing the Heads of Bureaus away
from their accustomed posts, next take
fright and join the rout. and so it goes
down through the whole department I'M
til the sweeps and porters imagine the
sky about to fall"
