The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1881-12-27
A NEW

On and after the first week in Janu-
airy, 1882, a semi-weekly MINER will be
issued from this office in lieu of the
present weekly. The semi-weekly will
be mailed to our weekly subscribers on
Wednesday and Saturday mornings of
each week at the regular subscription
price of the present weekly; that is, at
S. a wear. The semi-weekly will be the
sumo in size as the present weekly and
will contain all the Geographic, Terrific
rial and local news up to the hour Of go
ing to press, besides a choice selection
o. miscellaneous reading matter. In
this day of railroads and telegraph
lines, when the II has placed us with
in a few hours travel of the great mar
Res of the East and of the West, and
when by the other the news of the
world is flashed to our doors, the old
weekly has become too slow as q medi-
UNI through which the happenings of
the great outside world may be convey
ed to US. The Montana people are Il
reading people, and while many of
them do not feel able to take our daily,
even at the present reduced rates, we
believe they will gladly avail themselves
of the opportunity We offer them Of in
forming themselves of the current
events of the day by subscribing for and
taking the senli-weekly MINER. In
taking this new departure in Montana
journalism we trust all friends of pro
gress and enterprise will extend to the
semi-weekly MINER a full measure of
encouragement and good will. The
semi-wsekly will appear in new type
and on fine paper and in every other
respect its publishers will endeavor to
make it Il credit to Themselves and to
the matchless Territory the interest of
whose people they will, as far as lies in
their power, advance. The Daily
MINER, the largest Daily in the West,
will be published as heretofore.

LOOSE POINTS.

Tbe discussion Of the INABILITY bill now be-
loose points in the administrator of the gov
eminent, which, if not corrected, may pro-
duce complications that will eventually lsad
to trsuble. First, it has not yet been clear
ly determined who il. to count the votes of a
Preside ntial election The practice. for a
convention, to do the counting. In the rresi-
deRtial election of 1876 8 joint commission
was improyised. But IL is doubtful whether
another arrangement of that kind can ever be
got up. The question is of no importance
except in the case of a close or doubtful cleo
ton. I'D.
Second, what constitutes the inability of a
Prssldent so that the Vice President may
succeed to the office under the constitution,
is a very open question. Attention was
drawn TO this matter last summer during the
illness Of President Garfield. There was no
fesling anywhere that e was to be super.
seeded while he lay upon his sick bed, but if
he had remained a be~d-ridden invalid during
the balance Of his term, aud while Congress
was in session passing bills for his considsrs-
ton, the public view upon this question
might have been entirely different. The
sentiment, too, might have been different In
the case Of All unpopular President. 1t
was insisted also that the Vice President
could not temporarily assume Presidential
functions, but was the President for the bal
ance of the tern when he once assuaed the
functions of the office. These are questions
that must, for our future security, be definite
ly settled by law.
Another loose point in our executive sys
tenn is the question of succession. The
country was OH the point of such an ener-
geRcy last hummer. If Garfield and Arthur
had both died it would at that time have been
hard to tell who wsula have been President.
There was then no President pro TEN Of the
Senate or Speaker Of the HOUSE The wors!
wars that have afflicted nations have been
about questions relating to succession. The
heads of Departments would probably have
called a special election, and the government
would have moved on without a jar; but the
time may come when personal and partisan
feeling will not permit SO amicable an adjust
ment eff a vcxed question. The law should
be so framed a, to place these questions be-
you'd a persdventure in the future.

RIDELEBERGER.

...... gL#89# esHE.#. @.
The Republicans Of this neck Of the woods
although having two reputed party organs at
this place, have to rely upon the old aud rsli-
able party standard bearer in the Territory
the Helena Herald -fer notes of graduation
ever the election Of Riddieberser to tie
United States senate from the State of Vir-
ginia. The party is welcome to AL the glory
of the achievement. A few more such ,iclo.
ries will be bus . barren scepter in their
grippe, 10 soa OF theirs succeeding. Mr.. Rid
dlebefger wanted TO be = doorkseper last
summer. He would theo rather be a door
he tents OF wickadness among the repudia-
tors of Virginia. he was like the applicant
to General Jackson for = ,irst-class foreign
mission, who Kept falling in his demands I'M
til he wound up by asking this
General ii he could MOI spare 4 pair of second
band breeches. He is not proud he Affiliate
ed with . party whose sentiments the extreme
iron-nerved Republicans have not had the
hardihood 10 endorse, and he was but recent
ly engaged in an affair of honor--a way Of
harmopizing differences that has been an
abominat,on in the eyes Of all good Republic
cans and the object OF their EXTREMIST hate.
The taking of Riddleberser necessarily ina
plies a partial REIMBURSEMENT of the claims
to being = party Of great moral ideas.
The eInission TO comment in proper terms
upon the recent Republican victory by the
party press seems to strengthen a conviction
,Aat has for some time been taking hold of
the party mind, that there is no Republican
organ here. The MINER has at all times re-
aented any attempt b3 any ,putstIvs Republi-
can organ to creep in at the back door of its
party, or to gain standing and influences
through false pretoncss by the advocacy OF
popular doctrines of = party TO which a pub
tic Journal does not profess to belong. Labor
ing in that direction it has caused \ cessation
professsd Republican journal, aud for that
service feels that il has earned the gratitude
OF the opposite patty. The K publican doe
Urine OF Recommendation has been but feebly
advocated by one of cur local Republican
organs, aud bss been confined to such y mild
defense of that doctrine as termlng the COIN
age OF silver useless coins, and the dollars is
sued by the Government short weight. A
Republican journal in this place that win
take its party platform and hsw 10 the line
will earn the party respect: but one that is
cover,ly advocating opposition doctrines under
false colors Injuries the cause it processes to
advocate. Let them swallow Riddleberger,
protection, mono-metallism, Government aid
to individual enterprises, and all the peculiar
doctrines Of their party, and, .: the prize
ring fellows gay May the best man win"

RAILRoAD ABUSE.

Something was said in yesterdays issue
concerning the nonsense Of railroad abuse.
The facts of the case were stated, with some
intin,atisn to : few enthusiastic cranks, con-
corning the impolitic nature of ! course Of
procedure where they are making fools of
themselves. A business firm of this city,
whose SUCCESS is largely due to q close atten-
ton to their . sn business, addressed : cour-
teous letter to Mr.. Vining last summer at the
time Of the increase Of California fraights,
and in due time got . satisfactory rebate.
They exhibited no alavish spirit or want of
manhood in not addressing a scurrilous and
abusive letter to the General Superintendent
Of the Union Pacific. 1t 10 not difficult to
imagine the effect that would have been pro.
duced from the use Of such strong, nervous
adjeetives and names as "slavish," "nn-
American" 8 ~soulless and irresponsible
power,'' g brigandage,'' "monopoly,' "rob-
berry and extor.ion," soppress and despoil,'
"rapacious," Excessive charges" "imps-
rious masters "monsser," " ruinously dis
teIiminating rates." and similar terms. The
writer would have been considered by the
community a fool, and the Superintendent
would have thrown his epistle in tho stove.
But it is useless to elaborate 4 proposition
so simple. As was intinated yesterday, the
only sensible place to circumscribe railroad
aggression is in the halls of legislation.
Running nonsense at the mouth never does
any good in any matter. The interests OF
Butte or of it's business men cannot
be adv need one particle by senssless
vituperation. A few lunatics may assemble
on the streets and how until they are hosrse,
and they will affect nothing except to make
themselves sick. If such imbeciles can point
out any path for a reformation OF the evils
they complain Of, the puSlic will gladly join
in their rectitication The little bull that tried
to butt the locomotive from the track was ad-
mired, but his discretion was condemned.
Discretion is more valuable to this city than
rashness. 1t 10 to her interest to have located
here machine shops and h~eadquarter build
ings. She wants such rates as shall enable
her to become the commercial centre of The
Territory, and her business men the heaviest
jobbsrs in this region. There is q cemmuni.
ty of interest existing between this place and
the railroad company; the carrying business
of the road and the prosperity Of all people will
increase with the growth of the city, and this
desirable result can only be attained through
n judiciols, sensible and honorable course.
The best thing this community can do is to
sit dow upon some OF her fool advisers, and
go forward like intelligent human beings do
in other localities, without whining about the
inevitable, straining A. the impossible, or
mouths at the sister of TIE fellows
We Cannot whip.

HRISTMA

To-day ia the one upon which al civilized
nations have united to celebrate the a~nniver-
sary Of the birth OF the Saviour OF mankind.
Chronologists have searched for the actual
period of this natal day in the lighto contem-
por&nious events and history, and have
reached widely different conclusions, tbs oc-
currence of this great event being fixed by
different investigators fer every season of the
year. Bat whether il occurred at the win
ter %solstice, ~ is now generally observed, or
at the yernal equinox, or summer ~sols,ice, or
at any other time, is not regarded as materials;
the event and not the day is the fact to which
all Christian nations unite In doing honor.
And with this spirit, aud with = reverent
recognition Of the worlds advancement
through a purer and better religious system
that runs back to ths birth of JESUS Christ,
should this day be celebrated. That hu-
msnisy has been elevated, and civilization
reached its highest type OF excellence only
where The. sentiments of the Christian re-
ligion prevail, are facts that none pretend to
.ontrorert. The Christian is said to be in
direc CT succession from the Je wish religion,
restisg on a claim to have been founded
on divine revelation. We are able
to penetrate fsrthest into the darkness of an
siquity through the records Of that nation,
showing that they, too, were a remarkable
people, through the eleyating tendencies of =
religion which Was the direct forerunner of
the Christian religion, long he fere profans
history hal begun 10 take note OF the affairs
of mankind.
1t is not the desigl upon this occasion to
enter upon asy disquisition concerning the
religion that dates back to the day we, cele-
brate, further than TO call attention to the
fact Of the superior enlightenment of the IA
lions where this religion prevails. Skeptics
have been forced TO admit that, as a code Of
morals, it Is immeasnreably superior to any
tihing the wsrld has ever seen. In all ages
have good and philsnthropic men employed
shs ir minds in the elaboration Of a code Of
