THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN
OHIO.

Congressman Hill, of Ohio, a Dur
bin Ward man, who was said to be
among the disaffected in consequence
of Hoadly's nomination, recently
remarked thatif the Judge made a
wise canvas, as he is capable of do
ing, he will carry the State. He is a
man of great ability and magnetism,
and has but to keep the good will of
the party, which he has now, to at
tain success. He scouts the idea
that old-time Democrats are disaf.
fected. He ~confesses he was a Ward
man, but declares he is going to work
for Hoadly and that Wards friends
generally will also work for him.
Ward himself is preparing a speech
and will go into the cause with vigor.
Geddes will also enter into the cam
paign for Hoadly, aud his friends
will follow him. Should Hoadly
win he may be a candidate for the
Presidency, but he will not figure in
the present campaign as such and
will avail himself of the first oppor-
tunity to announce he is net a can
didate for that office. AS for the Leg
islature MI. Hill is positive the DEM
ocrats will carry it. On the whole
the outlook is exceedingly bright for
a decisive Democratic victory in
Ohio next fall.

THE JUNKETING GOVERN
MENT.

Notwithstanding nearly all the
great departments of the government
at Washington are bereft of their
heads, says the New York Morning
Jonrnal, the well-oiled machinery
runs on without the least jar. The
Secretary of the Navy is up at Con-
cord, managing his own. canvass for
the Senate. Secretary Lincoln is
trying to forget the Apache question
down at Long Branch. Mr.. Brew
ster has fled from Mr.. Ingersoll and
the Star Route expediters to Phila-
delphia. Secretary Folger is, or was,
a few days ago, in New York city.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen is packing his
carpet-bag for a trip to Elberon, and
a hundred and eighty horses are be-
ing groomed to bear the President
away to the Yellowstone Park. Mr..
Gresham and Mr.. Teller are thus left
blooming alone at the capital. The
eight-and-thirty States, with their
fifty millions of population, r new
ertheless prosperous. Indeed, con-
sidering that but few appointments
or fat contracts can be given out
when our rulers are away on a frolic,
it is doubtful whether we do not save
a great deal of money by the suspen-
sion of the government in the dog

ANSWER TO

A few days ago MANY Citizens of
Butte" propounded several questions
through the columns of the MINER
to the Bozeman papers in regard to
the history of the trial in their town
OF the case of McCutcheon VS.. Nc
Cutcheon. In answer to them the
Bozeman Chronicle makes the fol-
lowing statement:
"Sult was commenced Nav 22nd.
1883. Summons issued same day and
published officially. Decree was
granted June 25th, 9 a. m. Stipula-
ton of attorneys shows that the case
should he heard June 25th, at 9 q. m.,
or as soon thereafter as counsel could
be heard. Words i'm italics erased.
Said by defendants attorney to have
been done by McCutcheon. Counsel
for defendant appeared that day, but
too late; decree had been granted.
Judge Wade heard the case and
granted decree. Court adjourned that
morning, and Judge Wade and Sec
rotary McCutcheon left on the
1880 a. m. train that day. No other
witness was examined in the case ex-
cept McCutcheon. Do not know
who united the secretary and his so
called niece. Do not know whether
she was his neice, cousin or other
vie. Same person who came with
him and who it is said he introduced
as his neice. Be she neice, cousin or
otherwise, he has married her. Do
not think Helena satisfied with the
business. Herald and Independent
are not Indifferent, but extremely
cautious. The next conundrum We
leave Helena papers to answer. Do
not know whether McCutcneon is
satisfactory to J. Schuyler or not;
perhaps birds of a feather" AS to
his retention the "powers that he"
must solve that question.

THE Photographers STRIKE.

The strike of telegraph operators
which has been threatened for some
time took place yesterday morning.
This is a very unfortunate move for
all parties commemorative telegraph
company, the ope rators, andth pub
lie. ALI will suffer more or less finan-
cially and it is doubtful whether any
permanent benefit will be gained by
those more directly affected by the
strike-the operators themselves. The
company seem to be quite as de-
termined in its refusal of the demands
OF the operators as the latter are. in
pressing them. The merits of the
strike are involved in some doubt.
The increase in pay and descrease in
hours of labor asked by the strikers is
so radical in its nature that it may
well be questioned whether the com.
pany car consistently cOncede it.
Should it, however, b. forced to do so
the public, not the company, will be
the losers. Any advance in wages
which the strikers may gain will be
made up to the company by a CORE
advance in rates on mes
sages and dispatches. Hence if the
operators feather their nests by the
strike the public will Re the goose
that will be plucked to furnish the

New York Morning Journal: The
colored people in solemn convention
resolve that they will stand no more
nonsense They demand, first of all,
that there shall be coeducation of tie
races, and in addition mixed schol-
ars and teachers. This is a trifing
request and they will, of course, be
accommodated as soon as eve the
vacation is over. The next demand
is that all the machine shops and
factories shall be open to them. By
all means. Again they protest against
being made the tools of political or
CARNATIONS. What party has been
basely abusing them in this way?
The man or machine who would use
his cOlored brother as q stool" is I'M
worthy to hold Office. Last of all,
they declare that In future negro shall
be spelled with a big IN" To this
we demur. The line must be drawn
somewhere, and we rule it off at the
capital IN" They shall have every
thing but that. White men have
some rights which block men are
to respect, and the privilege Of

over the beauties of Typography de-
it is one of them.'

WHY NOT?

The New York World in an arti-
Gle under the above caption, discussing
the proposition to exchange standard
silver dollars for trade dollars OBJ
serves: 1.-THE Government is respon-
sible for the trade dollar, and ought
not to allow the bona fide holders of
the coin, mainly those who can the
least afford to submit to the loss, to
be victimized by spectators. To de-
lay action is to play into the hands
of the sharks who are now trying to
produce a panic among the holders
Of the coin and to buy them up at
about So cents on the dollar. It is a
pity that some plan cannot be de-
vised by which the spectators in
the coin could be excluded from the
protection given to bona fide hold

oLNOA AAASo
Suffocation while asleep is a great
danger to be guarded against. Smoke
rapidly causes the temperature to
rise. A wire fixed in a thermometer
at, say 80 degrees Fahr., in connec-
ton with a small electric battery and
bell, will cause the latter to ring vio-
lently on the mercury being driven
up by the rise of the temperature,
touching the wire, and IT, us complet-
ing the circuit. Such a contrivance,
simple and inexpensive, if placed in
a hotel, would give the necessary,
alarm; while if the bell were fixed
outside warehouses;, etc., left unpro-
tected at night, before the fire therein
could possibly attain any serious pro,
portions, the ringing Of the bell would
attract the notice of passers-by, but
especially the police. whose co-operacc

MATTERS FOR CONSIDERA-
TON.

While preparing their financial bill
of fare for the future the taxpayersof
Butte and vicinity should not over
look the fact that their school
interests must be provided for. On
the 3rd day of next month-two
weeks from yesterday the electors of
this district will be called upon to
vote for or against a proposition to
raise S., 900 by direct taxation for the
purpose of building additional school
accommodations. The MINER hopes
the proposition will receive the en-
dorsement of the people. They can,
without loss to the county or any
marked Inconvenience to county Of
ficials, postpone the day of erecting
magnificent and imposing county
buildings but they cannot afford to
neglect their children. This
is a matter of prime i'm
portance and should not be
subordinated to any other interest.
It is not necessary to 60 over we'll
known grounds of argument to en-
phasize this fact. All know, or should
know, the penalty attached to ig-
norance. and that next to leading
children into crime is to prepare
them for entering it by denying them
facilities for acquiring those educa.
tional advantages which will induce
them to shun it.
There is still another matter which
taxpayers of this county will be
called upon to consider. Last year,
with an assessable property of nearly
six million dollars and a levy for
school purposes of four mills on the
dollar. there was just about money
enough raised to run the public
schools 9 months. The present year
the levy for school purposes is reduced
to three mills on the dollar. Now, if
the assessment roll for this county
foot up to last years figures, of which
doubt Is expressed, the school term
will be cut down to a little over six
months. And should the assessment
fall as far short of last years figures
as many anticipate we will not have
funds enough to keep the schools 60
ing much over five months. Of
course the people of the county will
not be satisfied with 50 short a term
and will seek to lengthen it by vot-
ing a special tax for the purpose.
These and other matters, which we
propose to mention in due time,
should command the consideration
of the electors of the county before
they make up their minds to saddle
themselves with an Indebtedness
which will far exceed the loan asked
for by the county commissioners.

Here it is in a nutshell. The Ma
tional Democratic Convention will be
composed of S02 delegates. The two
thirds rule still prevails in Demo-
cratic conventions. 1t will therefore
require 5343 votes to nominate and
only 2675 votes to prevent any nomi-
nation. The South will enter the
convention with 306 votes, or more
than a third Of all. He must be a
strong man in the party to get those
five hundred and thirty-four and
two-thirds votes. But the man who
obtains them will be the next Presi-
dent of the United States.

How to Become a Proof Reader.

How to Become a Proof Reader.
To become a first-class proof-reader
is q very easy tasks easy that the
don't take it up instead of clerking or
copying. The first step is to serve
an apprenticeship at printing, which
enables the student to discern typo
graphical irregularities. A general
acq uaintance with history, biogra-
ply, poetry, music, fiction, geogra-
phv, the drama, etc., is important.
Politics should have earnest atten-
ton, for you must be able to identify
every man who has followed the
business from Cain down to the pres
ent day. No matter where his resi-
dence or what his (alibt r-whether
he is or was the Premier Of England
or the Caliph of Bagdad, OF a
Bridgeport "terrier"-you should
have a minute knowledge of hi, pub
lie and private life, and he able to Sc
lect the proper spelling from the
half-dozen ways which the author is
sure to employ. Read, ponder, as
simulate, Webster, the Bible, Shakes
peere, "Anthon's Classical Diction-
airy" "Roget's Thesaurus, ""Llppin-
colts Gazetteer" "Hayden's Die
tionary of Dates" the Cyclopedias of
Appleton, Zeli, Johnson and others,
'Bremisch NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wor-
terburch," "Brandtke's Slownikdok-
iadny Jezvka Pu'skiego Neimieck-

nature that happen to be at hand.
During the long winter evenings
you might scoop in a few Ian
guages, say Greek, Latin,
French, Hebrew, Russian, German,
Chinese, Bohemian and Choctaw.
You will need them in the fashion
articles and the Mayors speeches.
The foregoing are but a few of the re-
quirements of a tirst-class proof-read-

A PLAY UPON F1aUREs.

AAV "1-E-
that the MINER "resorts to = play
upon figures to sustain its objection"
to the court house loan. Facts are
stubborn things but figures are indie
structable. No sophistry, no misrep-
resentation, no p%erversion of truth.
no misstatements nor no special
pleading can disprove the proposition
that two and two make four or that
twice five are ten. When the do
main of the exact sciences is APP
preached fiction must be left behind.
The MINER will stick to its figures,
the Inter Mountain may console
itself with its fiction. We have
stated in another article that the
loan of 500, 900 asked for does not.
if it be granted, fully measure
the Indebtedness the county will
have incurred by the time the pres
emit years taxes become due. There
are already registered warrants out
standing against the county amount
ing to 81, 900. These do not include
the expenses incurred during the last
term of court. which we are assured
will reach q like amount when audit
ed, making an aggregate OF $l4,OOo.
Then we must add to this amount
the expenses o fanother term OF court
to be charged against the county,
which with fees and salaries of coun-
ty officials will increase the debt to
the neighborhood of $3.50 This
debt will be in the shape of warrants
outstanding.
Now it has been stated that the
lots upon which the court house is to
te built. together with the work
done upon the building and
materials =, purchased amount
to $4,000. This sum represents the
cost not the amount paid. The lots,
costing $4,000, are, we understand,
paid for. We understand also that
% per cent. of all contract work is
reserved by the commissioners for flu
ture payment. This would leave the
one-fourth of $40, OOO-or $4,000 still
to be paid over to oontractors-a fur
Their debt of SIC, 900 standing against
the county-an aggregate indebted
ness of $35, 600 before the commence
ment of the next fiscal year. Now
if this $1,000 o loan be voted Silver
Bow county will have an interest
bearing indebtedness of $l35, 900 be-
fore q dollar will rea h the treasury
from this years taxes. To meet this
there are only a few hundred dollars
in the contingent fund-the county
fund being exhausted.
It must not be forgotten that in
addition to this there ar about $l0,-
600 to be raised within the next four
OF five years to pay off school house
bonds, and a further sum of S., 600 for
school building purposes if the latter
amount be voted by the electors of
the district. These latter sums are,
of course, district matters but as the
district includes nearly all the tag
able property in the county, they
may as we'll be mentioned as a coun-
ty charge. Footing it all up we find,
if our figures be correct, and the loan
be granted, that Silver Bow county
will begin the year 1884 with an in
debtedness of about $3.50, 0Oo-a Jump
from a plethoric treasury which tax
payers cannot view with any degree
of complacency.
