Mr.. CASSIDY says thai Governor
Cleveland vetoed the five-cent fare bill
on the ground that it was, presump-
lively, a violation of the contract made
between State and company under the
provisions of the charter. He also
says, with pardonablc pride, that {
introduced and pushed through the
House bill providing that all Pacific
Coast railIoad corporations must take
patents for their lands within ninety
days or forfeit their grants, As the
charter under which these companies
became possessed of the lands in ques-
tion expressly STIMULATES that the cora
paniss shall take out their patents only
rs they require them according to
Mr.. Cassidy the gentleman, If he is
consistent, will not complain very
much in case President Arthur vetoes
his bill on the same ground that Gov
ernor Cleveland vetoed the fivecenf
fare bill.

Mr.. CASSIDY laments over the fact
that he tariff on Manufactured WOODEN

To the majority OF his hearers it was
surprise TO learn that there is any

the other hand there are few indus.
tries in the country more important
than the wooden factories. Here is
just where that nice sounding fallacy
OF taxing the luynries and, admitting
necesssrfss free falls to the ground.
The majority of the articles that we
call necessarics are manufactured by
American artisans, and therefore need
protection; while most Of the so.cailed
Injuries are articles that cannot be
made here.

The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-05-10

World: There were gross errors
in the indictment in the Kellogg
case. False dates were inserted, and
lawful money was charged to have
been received when payment of the
bribe was made in drafts. Hence
the proof did not correspond With
the indictment. These errors were
made in addition to the Intentional
delay of the prosecution until the
Statute of Limitations became oper-
alive. Who il responsible? Mr..
Ker is reported as saying to a news
paper reporter: kellogg was sur
rounded by too many influences to
be convicted here" and as giving
up the name Of "Kellogg's friend"
who had the dates placed in the in
dictment. The name was '.George
Bliss" The fee in the Star Route
prosecution was a scandulous plum
der Of the Treasury. The people
have . right to know if George Bliss
was paid to protect and not to pun
ish the guilty.

fine of not less than 500 nor more
than $500, or imprisonment for not
less than six months mol more than

prisonment. The commissioner Is to
receive s 5000. and the sum of $50, 600
is placed at his disposal to be used in
enforcing the law. The section con-
tanning this prohibition is a copy of a
section in the Missouri law, the val
idity of which has been tested in the

OLD H1CKORY's PROFANITY,
How General jackson Went
Straight to::the Point.
Boston Budget,1

General Jackson was not cultured
or accomplished, but he had q strong,
well-balanced mind, and he would 20
through forests of sophistry and mas
ses of legal opinions, straight to the
point. Governor Wise, who admired
him greatly, used to tell a story illus
trative of the rough bark of Old
Hickory's character. During the ad-
ministration OF President Monroe,
General Jackson, in command of
some troops, invaded Florida and
captured Arbuthnot and Ambrister,
two Englishmen, who, it was
charged, melted the Indians to dep
relations, just as the carpet-baggers
now incite negroes to riot. He at
once ordered a court martial and had
them hanged, with but little time to
prepare for their future place of
abode. He was arraigned for the
oftense before the Cabinet of Mr..
Monroe, and Mr.. Adams, the Secre-
tary OF State, defended him on the
high ground Of International law as
expounded ~ Grotlus, Vattel, and
Puffendorf. Jackson was disposed
to regard the matter as wholly
personal. Oh Grotius: dn

this Is a mere matter between jim
Monroe and me-" 1t is also said of
him that, pending the question of
dispute between this country and
France in regard to the S., OO0, 600 de-
mand, his message to Congress con-
tanned a direct and insulting threat
to Louis Philippe. The Cabinet
consulted and urged a change OF
phraseology. Mr.. Forsyth, then Sec
rotary of State, adroitly changed the |
language dictated by the President.

NEW YORK, May 8.-The World

the affairs of the Marine bank are
not in as good condition as was ex.
pected is strengthened by the fact
that while the bank should have had

its suspension was caused by its ina.
bility to meet a clearing house bal

the reserve was in the bank as re-
CURED by law, why should the bank
have suspended? And ii not in the

are questions asked by anxious de-
positors s.
In consideration of the sum of

The Story OF an Artist.

Six years ago the residents OF
Washington were invited by neatly
printed circulars to visit Odd Eel

ness a test of the endurance of 1.-The
champion female pedestrian" who
was attempting to walk 100 miles in
100 consecutive hours. The walking
mania was then at its height. and
the hall was crowded with distjn.
2uished ladies and gentlemen, who
paid q cents q head to see q little
woman tread a circle of sawdust.
She was the first of her sex to accom-.
plish the feat, and when the finish
ing hour came, and she won the
match against time and fatigue, bou-
quets were showered upon her from
fair and jeweled hands. This week
the residents of Washington are re-
quested by a similar circular to visit
an art gallery where a number of
beautiful landscapes are on exhibi-
ton, and the fashionable people are
focking there in large numbers. The
artist is the champion female De-
destrian," Miss Bertha Won Hillern
and her triumphs are as great upon
the canvas as upon the sawdust. The
money she gained by her pedestrian
was spent in cultivating
. natural taste for art, and her genius
is recognized by the best critics of the
country.

oHANol or BASE.

The Mining Review commenting
upon the recent proposition Of the
English chancellor Of the exchequel
concerning the lowering of the
standard Of gold in that country. re-
marks: A strong point with those
who have been In favor OF y single
gold standard Is, that gold had an
unchanging fixed value. above the
influence of legislation, supply or de-
mand. Although there can be NO
tangible proof given, nevertheless
the assertion has carried some weight
from the fact that practically gold has
been assumed to possess an intrinsic
and inaexible quality which renders
It particularly valuable as . measure
of all other values. If this position be
correct, 1t would be difficult to I'M
derstand how the Chancellor of the
Exchequer of Great Britain can CON-
ceive such q proposition as he is intro
ducine, to lower the existing stand
ard of gold in that country. A prop
to establish q new standard
may be changed, and owes it's exis-
tence entirely to the legislation which
it. The point may be of
,ome value to those who have hith- |
ertO claimed that silver alone pos
'essed all the qualities of auctuation
which practically untitled it for use

ire of value.

REFORM wITH A ~vRNaEANOE

President Arthur has been called
the friend OF C~ivil>service Reform.
His ambition to win that credit was
probably sharpened by the fact that
he had been turned out of the New
York Custom House by President
Hayes, John Sherman and the Re
publican Senate for Official mal-prac-
tice. The sincerity of the Arthur ad-
ministration in its Civil.Service
Reform professions is manifested by
its action in the election of Southern
delegates to Chicago. In Virginia it

Malone to pack the Convention and
