Wrongs to be R1ghted.

There is an ordinance somewhere
on the city statute books that forbids
persons Obstructing the streets. This
ordinance is sometimes enforced, but
it seems to be only in are instances.
It is necessary to obstruct sidewalks
and a part of the road while build
ings are going up, but it is net neces-
sary for the mechanics and those who
are hauling to scatter the material so
as to leave only a little narrow wag-
on path for vehicles to pass. Build
ing ought to be encouraged of course,
but ~needlessly blocking up the roads
ought to be stopped. There is no oc-
casion for it.
While We are on this subject q
word about the sidewalks might be
in order. There was an ordinance
that forbade business men occupying
more than three feet of the sidewalk
with boxes, signs, etc. This ordi-
anc seems to have been amended
so as to allow merchants for boxes
and merchandise all of the sidewalk
except two and q halt or three feet.
The authorities would receive the
thanks of the long-suftering public
if these matters were looked into.

Another Polling Place in the City
OF Butte.

The Board of County Commission
ers meets to-day. and it has been
suggested by a large number of our
citizens that the board, at its present
meeting, establish another voting
place in the city. 1t is contended,
aud very justly too, that owing to
the large number of votes cast in the
city, it is almost impossible for one
set of judges and clerks to perform
the labor devolving upon them. 1t is
also contended that, in previous
county elections, WY many
voters, especially day laborers, could
not find an opportunity to vote owing
to the crowds around the polls to-
wards evening. BY establishing an
other v. ting place within the city
limits, the strain upon election Off
GERS would be greatly lessened and
the opportunity for laboring men to
vote would be increased and the con-
~venience of all who live in the SOUTH
ern part of the city better subserved.
The Commissioners have estab-
lished one polling place at the
Court House. 1t is now suggested
that, if they have the authority to do
so, they establish another at the
corner of Main and West Park OF in
that neighborhood. The little extra
expense t, the county by the estab-
lisnment of a polling place there
would be insignificant compared to
the greater convenience to voters and
the more satisfactory work of the
election board which would result
from it.

A DEATH IN A MINE.
F1ndlay NcLennon Falls Down
Shaft.

Sunday morning Findlay Meier
non, the pump man at the Colusa
mine. met with a fatal accident. The
shaft is being sunk from the 5Oo-foct
to run to 800 feet and is about $50
feet deep now. 1t seems that Findlsy
wanted to 60 from the 50O-foot sta
ton to the bottom. The suppOsitiOn
is that when he jumped upon the
bucket he did not wait to steady it,
but gave the signal at once. In the
descent the bucket in swinging from
side to side doubtless struck against
the wall, tilted and turned him out.
How far he fell no one knows. The
men in the bottom of the shaft heard
HIM cry out and got out of tie way.
Hardly had they secured themselves
when he fell. A groan and a few
short breaths were the only signs of
life he gave after falling. lie was an
industrious, sober man, and well
thought of by his associates. He
leaves his mother in Nova Scotia, a
brother in Arizona and two brothers
in California. No blame attaches to
any one in the mine for the accident.

REPREHENSIBLE ACTS.
A Word 10 the Boys Of Butte.

Complaint is made that some of
the boys from the city and vicinity
are in the habit of visiting the ceme-
terry south of town and mutilating
and defacing tombstones and monu-
ments erected over the graves of de-
parted ones by loving hands. This
is a crime almost unhea'd of. In fact
it is hard to believe there are boys in
Butte so lost to decency and shame
and reverence or respect for the last
earthly resting place of the dead as
to find pleasure in defacing monu-
ment, in grave yards and in pulling
up flowers and ove1turning flower
pots planted or placed there there by
a mothers hand and perchance wa
tered by her tears. But such
seems to be the fact. Who
the boys are or when they
committed the acts complained of
the compIainants do not know, but
should they be discovered or caught
in the unholy work they will proba
bly, be taught a lesson that will last
them a life time. Boys, be just; let
the homes of the dead be as sacred
ground to your feet. The little ones
resting there left broken hearts in
this noisy city that have not yet
healed. Dc not add pain to them by
desecrating or defacing the little
monuments which loving hearts and
willing hands have erected to the
memory of lost ones

Advice to Candidates for Office.

In promulgating esoteric coglta-
tions or articulatlDg superficial sent:-
mentalities and philosophical or
psychological observations, beware of
platitudinous p~onderoslty. Let your
statements pos ess a clarified con-
ciseness, compacted comprehensive
ness, coalescent consistency and a
concentrated cogency. Eschew all
conglomerations of f1atulent garruli-
tv, iejune babblement and asinine
affections. In trying to impress upon
the ebtuse organism Of your constitu-
ents, the palpable p%erspicuity OF your
aims in demanding their suffrag 8, it
is not necessary to use jawbreakers-
speak plainly and tn the point. Let
your extemporaneOus descantings
and unprecedented e%xpaiations
have intelljgibil.ty and veracious vi
vacity. without rhodomontade or
thrasonical bombast. Don't make q
fool of yourself by using big words.
Sedulously avoid all polysyl]ablc pro-
fundity, psittaceous vacuity, ventrll-
oaual verbOsity and vandiloquent va
niditv. Shun double entendres,
prurient ~jocosity and pestiferous pro-
family, obscurent or apparent, or in
other words, tell the people you are
running for office, and that you are
the best man and want their votes.

Butte City:
The campaign is fairly ir-
augurated. The Democratic nomi-
nee, J. z. Toole, Esq, will have q
more enthusiastic following and
receive q larger majority than has
been given to any candidate for
Delegate in t. last ten years. There
are several reasons for this. The
time is pr0piti0us that young men
should come t0.the front. The candi-
date presented at the convention at
Deer Lodge as the standard bearer of
the Democracy is q modest and
talented gentleman-a man who
acknowledges no sectional line in his
interest for the welfare of the people.
A man in the heyday Of youth, who
VIII take q just pride in seeing that
Montana gets q fair share Of the
Iavors bestowed by the National
governments man whose honor
able career in the practice of his pro-
fesslon has won for himself from
judge, jury, aud even opposing
c~ounseland clients, unstinted aamirs.
ZION and respect-a man known and
universally esteemed for the deserv-
able qualities of a clear head, kind
heart, and genera is hand. Is it a
wonder that Joe Toole," as he is
well and Familiarity known all over
the Territory should be a favorite ?
and that friendly Republicans should
vie with enthusiastic Democrats to
give him a rousing majority at the
coming election? His distinguished
opponent, Judge Knowles, is an able
jurist and honorable gentleman, but,
as Grover Cleveland will 10y the
grace of God and the votes of the peo-
ple) be our next President, the voters
of Montana want to send delegate
to Washington who will be in full
accord with the National Democratic
administration. Every Democrat and
many Republicans will vote for Joe
TOole, because he is the Fright man
in the right place." and you will see
my prediction verified that, he will
be trimuphantly elected as the pop
ular choice for next Delegate in

A New Miner Overcome by Bad
Air.

A new hand at mining was at
work in the 400 foot Wine OF the
Moulton yesterday. Between three
and four O'Clock some blasts were
off. The young man not being
accustomed to the ways of miners
started to climb back to his WORK
soon after these shots we're fired.
The usual result followed such haste.
He was overcome by bad air and fell
ipsensible. Some of the miners mace
their way to him As soon as possible
and rescued him. 1t was some time
before he recovered, but at last &C
he was able to sit up. He Will
be able to work to-day and
having had one. days experience in q
mine will not rush in too quickly
where miners fear to go.

Dissatisfied.

The Townsend Trenchant has this
to say about the Helena Fair AssOci-
alton and the managers would do
we'll to heed it: If the Helena Fair
Association want horsemen to 60 to
the expense of training and travelling
to compete for the purses they hang
out, they should pay more ate ntion
to the starting of their races. This
has always been a bad feature of this
fair, and we are informed by many
persons that this year it was worse
than ever, so had indeed, that several
owners declared that they would
never enter horses there again.
It is said that the direct
ors will not have any judges
or starters except members Of the
board. and that, however fair-minded
aid conscientious these gentlemen
are, they are manifestly incompetent
In several events the race was de-
cided by the start, especially IN the
short dashes, and the best horses did
not win. The men who TOOK pains to
inform themselves as to the merits of
the horses and bet on their judgment

show for their money, and coase-

A Washer.

There is a young fellow in this
town who, possessing nearly all the
attributes that go to make up a
masher, is still deficient on the main
point, and that is case-bardened
cheek. The other afternoon he met
a young lady on whom he thought
he had made a lasting impression.
He communicated the fact to a
friend, requesting him to arrage a
meeting. The next day his friend
told him he had fixed things, that
the young lady would be at the rink
that evening and fer him to wear a
handkerchief tied on his light arm,
SO she would recognize and skate
with him For three long hours our
masher skated around that rink, and
for three hours the crowd guyed him,
until he finally tumbled and betook
himself from the house. He swears
revenge on his false friend. and that
nothing but hot blood will appease
his wounded dignity.

No Excitement and Plenty of

The following letter, under date O

the Little Rockies has been handed
us and as it may contain some in
formation in regard to that section,
which may he OF interest to the
readers of the MINER we publish it:
"As you remember I left Living.
ston on the 23d of August to "take
in" these diggings. I expected to be
fooled, as I was in the C@ur
d'Alenes, but remembering the old
adadge, Nothing venture; nothing
win," I concluded to try it. SO when
I arrived at Benton, I bought an cid
pony, some grub and tools and
started for the new Ell Dorado.
When I got to the diggings, which
are all on the Milk river side of the
range, I went around among
the claims to see how they were PAN
ming out and to get acquitted with
the boys. Ed. Fitch and Harry
O'Neil are here. Ed. has the second
claim above discovery and is doing
spl andidly. There are about 80 or
40 men In here at present.
Most of them are old timers and are
going to stay this winter. Another
man and myself have got two claims
adjoining n another and have
taken out so far $685. with an old
rocker. Fol the last couple of weeks
we have been tusy making sluice
boxes, and by the time you get this
letter We will be taking out the
golden stuff by the pound, you
bet. l think these are by far the
best diggings I have seen for
the past ten years. You can
get a color anywhere, but it is
only in the gulches that it pays. I
have PANIED out from five to ninety
cents a pan, Some of the boys have
done better, but I think the average
is about rs cents a pan. Those who
hsve not their boxes ready and who
are working Systematically are max
ing from $500 to $1,000 a day. So
you can see it isn't so ALFRED rich,
but it knocks the day]ights out of
swinging a hammer all day for $3.50.
If you think of coming out here 1
would advise you to come now. Don't
wait till spring. There IS pleLty Of
ground left yet, but people keep
iE, and it won't take many
months for the best ground to be
taken up. I understand there is not
much excitement on the outside
about this place, and l am glad Of it,
because l have got as good a thing as
I want. None OF the b ,ys are anx-
ious to sell, and besides, they don't
want everybody to come, like they
did to the Ceur d'Alenes."
