We clip the following from the Phila-
delphia Press in reference to Decoration
Day, with an extract from the eloquent
Grafton Of Hon. Martin Maginnis.
Hon. William A. Duncan then appro-
priately introduced the orator, soldier
in the war of the rebellion and partici-
pant in this battle, the Hon. Martin
Maginnis, of Montana. After brief re-
sumo of the condition of the country and
the army il June, 1858. he entered into a
most interesting and eloquent account Of
the part borne by the Second Corps.
He said: "The sun Of victory looked
on the same day on the defeat of Lee
and the fall Of vicksburg, and east and
west the clouds of doubt and disaster
were pierced by its refdlgent rays; that
day began the decline of the Confeder-
acy, and with drums beating we marched
away over those blue mountains and left
our dead tn the care of our country that
remembered them. Let this lovely scene
bear witness. She gathered her fallen
heroes into these silent ranks to remain
forever the eternal guardians Of these
heights. A wise man came from the
east to dedicate these grounds, and with
him came Lincoln. The eloquence of
the orator and sage is forgotten, but the
simple, thrilling words which the Presi-
dent smoke from the impending shadow
of his martyrdom will be quoted 80 long
as the English language is spoken or as
future civilizations can resurrect the
written classics of its dead and unspoken
tongue. The Union is restored, peace
and liberty walk hand in hand. the only
rivalry is one of devotion to the Govern
ment."

CLAskISa1oRK AND CISaAsAR Rail-
RoAD.

The discussion in the Senate upon the
bill 10 grant right Of way for the
Carke's Fork and Cinnabar railroad has
eyinced an unreasonable opposition to
its being built and the reasons assigned
are 80 paltry that we cannot forbear
making some comments upon them.
Those who are the best acquainted with
the geography Of the country unite in
saying that the proposed route is the
only practicable and available one. That
it would not in the least infringe upon
any of the natural wonders of the park,
in fact is entirely out of the line of tour
list travel, and even if the strip of the
country through which it is proposed to
run, were entirely set aside or cut off
from the reservation, that it would in no
sense be q detriment to the national re-
serve. That railroad is necessity on
account of the high rates of freight
which renders it impossible to ship the
product ola large mining district, and
that without it the mines will forever
remain undeveloped. There is now no
question that the greatest mineral de-
posits now exist there than are yet de-
veloped in any mining district in the
United States
We are told upon the best authority
that the road would not run any nearer
the principal objects Of interest in the
park than the present terminus of the
road, and the assertion that the bill is in
the interest of railroad corporation who
seek to invade the park by that means is
mere idle conjecture, and Las no basis in
fact. In truth the line of travel which
would be pursued by teams, should the
miners have to further RELY upon this
mode of ingress and egress, would result
in more practical injury to the park for
the reason that they would necessarily
have to iyade its limits at least fifteen
miles further from the line than the
route of The road. We notice with pleas
ure that the miners of Cooke City have
had u meeting and passed resolutions
which ably set forth the needs and
wants Of their community, and will for
ward them to Washington Immediately.
They have fortified their resolutions
with statistics as to the number of claims
in the district and assays Of the ore. We
trust that if not passed before this
reaches them, that the senators will re-
cognize the cogency of the reasons given
and not further withhold their support
from a measure of such lncalculable be-
nefit to the miners.

Deur d'Alene Etiquette.

Never 90 out at night unless you are
"heeled."
Don't jump a claim unless you think
you can whip the lawful owner.
If you salt a claim, be sure to do it SO
effectually that it will not be discovered
until you sell for good price. and have
skipped.
Never mention that you have picked
up a $500 nugget until after business
hours, and then say it has been deposit
ed at the express Office for safe keeping
Never refuse to take a walk when SO
advised by determined man who causes
YOU to look into the barrel of loaded
bulldog.
Ifyou try to beat a man at his own
game and get left, tell him you are glad
you came, and that you have had cart
load of fun.
Ifyou have a misunderstanding with
a friend, it is allowable to invite him to
throw bottle to the air and shoot q
hole through it without breaking the
bottle.
If you shoot a man by mistake for
some one else it is positively required
that you call on the family Immediately
after the funeral and apologize.
It is not polite to crack jokes at the
expense of a man who carries self
cooking pistol.
Never carry a handkerchief in your
hip pocket. Reaching for it may lead to
misunderstanding.
At lynching bees the master of cere-
monies has the exclusive right to desig-
nate those who are to pull the rope.
When suddenly stopped by road agents
and asked to hold up your hands it is
considered the height of lmpoiiteness to
refuse.
Strict etiquette now requires that at 5
O'Clock teas all weapons shall be conceal
ed under the coat or in the boots, the
latter course being preferred, as boot-legs
are handler to get at.
When invited to party which you do
not wish to attend, a card of regrets
with c. A. o. on one corner will be suffi-
cient. G. A. O. stands for Cartridges all
out"
When at church it is always-but it
isn't worth while to waste space giving
this rule until the churches are built.

BorKIs vs.. MAGINNIs.

We notice some of our exchangs &C.
knowledge the receipt of the contestants
brief and points in the contested election
case of A. c. Botkin VS.. Martin Maginnis-
As we have seen only an extract from it
published in the Courier, We are led to
the reflection that it is easy to make out
that the contestant was elected by giving
figures as in this.exhibit, and throwing
out whole counties where Maginnis re-
ceived majoritles and not saving any
thing about counties where Botkin re-
ceived majoritles. But, of course, accord.
ing to the views of contestant they were
all right anyway. Even by doing this
the contestant only shows a majority of
492. The fact is. and it cannot be de-
MED successfully that the contestant en-
deavored to prove fraud at Miles City
and Glendive and in Missoula, and sig
nally failed, that Maj. Maginnis did not
even dignity Botkin's contest with an
answer, and this brief appears now in
the vain hope that it may raise sym
pathv and delude the voters at the fall
election. The past history of Missoula'
Dawson and Custer counties goes to
show that they are reliably democratic
counties. The majority received by Mr..
Botkin in this county is at least question
able, as we have abundant reason to be-
lieve, and had Maj. Maginnis even de-
sired to open up this matter to fuller
investigation, there would not have been
wanting material to prove this. It is Of
ten very easy to make out case where
there is no opposition, and where wit
nesses are not subjected to cross-exam-
nation. Grand juries are an apt illus
tration to show how easily men can be
indicted, but trials show how easily they
can be discharged.

Cooke Cry, June Is, 1884.

Ed. CHRONICLE
We have had an exciting week, take it
all in all. The county commissioners
gave us a school district, and under the
law we have to keep up the school three
months to secure our rights, then we fall
heir to all the money that the four lots
come to, which will be about twenty
five hundred dollars, or perhaps more.
That amount will build us fine school
house with fixtures. This was fully ex-
planned to a large public meeting held
on Tuesday evening last. It took only
two hours the next day to raise the re-
quired amount, beside enough to rent a
school house and put in desks. So we
will have school in two weeks and keep
it the three months as required by law.
We have twenty-five children of school
age. So much for the school business
On same evening and at the same
place, the miners meeting. A. Wills,

regard to right of way through the park
for a railroad. They performed that
duty and reported at subsequent meet
ing Of miners and residents ON the 18th
inst, and the report is now on the way
to Washington. The people here are all
in favor Of a railroad foolish opposi-
ton of Logan and Vest in the senate is,
in our opinion simply ridiculous. as the
railroad would only cross the corner Of
the park, and do no injury whatever.
We were yesterday called to perform
the last act that we can do to our fellow
man, that was to bury C. B. Smith, who
was killed by the falling of tree. The
deceased was working, when a gust Of
wind broke off the top of a tree, and in
falling hit him on the head, crushing his
skull and killing him instantly. He was
an honest and industrious man, about %
years of age, and universally respected.
A large concourse followed his remains
to their last resting place with sorrowful
hearts. Judge Budlong delivered a
beautiful and touching address at the
grave.
What have written is what has hap
pened, and now comes what we hope
for.
That the survey of the town site will
be patented to the probate judge in order
that all persons may get a title to their
lots and thus put an end to all specula-
tive movements as regards mill sites, by
persons who never can build a mill OF
furnace, and never intended to do SO
when they located the phantom as mill
sites. Three years have come and gone
and no mill or furnace yet built. There
