PLATT C1RPEN1ER'S APPOINTNENT
To the Edttor Of The frtoune.
SIR: The nomination of B. Platt Carpenter

SIR: The nomination of B. Platt Carpenter,
of this city, to be of Montana. is naturally ex
citing good deal of comment hereabouts. The National
Republican Convention OF this year placed the following
plank In lts platform:
Resoped That appointments by the President TO offices
I'm the Territories should bc made from the bona de ci
zens and residents the Territories where they are 10
This plain expression OF party sentiment by our partys
convention OF last resort ought 1t would seem, to have
restrained President Arthur from going far outside OF
Montana ~ Dutchcss County. " " to select Governor
for that Territory. And another reason might have re-
strained him. even II there had been no such plank IN the
National platform. few years Mr.. Carpenter be-
came involved In contest so little TO the liking
of Republicans that he was beaten In MS
mons plurality OF nearly $4,000. Hundreds OF the
Republicans OF Dutchess County therefore amazed
nat the President should have made such appoint
ment In case he has any regaand his hackers Tor the
senate say that lie oyerhows with it-for harmony In
the party" Ky. H.

An Iudependencs views.

INDIANAPoLIs, Sept. s.-Carl schurz
will deliver a political address under INDIE
pendent auspices in this city next Monday
night. George b. Wright, one OF the
Massachusetts Independent Committee OF
One Hundred, was in the city to-day
making arrangements for two addresses IN
Indiana by Mr.. Schurz, one in the city as
above stated, and the other at Fort Wayne
on Tuesday evening of next week. Mr..
Wright gives a surprising account OF the
Independence organization in Massachu-
sets. He says that every township has an
Independent organization, and that in
every county there il q paid committeeman
whose duty it is TO forward the indie
pendent cause and make daily report 80
the Central Committee in Boston. From
their daily reports Mr.. Wright figures out
a sweeping Democratic majority in Massa'
chusetts, and that at least 10000 Republic
cans will vote for Cleveland in that state
He estimates the Butler vote l0,00o IN
Massachusetts,, the chief reason assigned
for this light vote being that the Demo-
Gratis are confident OF success this round
and are shy about seeking after strange
gods, even if Butler be one OF them, I'M
that the Butler party are possessed OF it'ie
or no campaign money.

NOTES ON THE SITUATION.

The Democratic press, with very few ex.
ceptions, has refrained from publishing
the "Blaine scandal" The Republican
press, without exception. has reveled in the
Cleveland scandal" The difference in
the character of the two parties is pretty
clearly indicated by these facts.

displeased Hawleyites in Connecticut,

Now is the time to make bets.
The Republicans of New Hampshire
have Just nominated for Governor a man
who is rs years old. This is certainly a
pretty ancient candidate, but the chances
are that be will live as long as his party.
The death of Secretary Folger has
aroused a deep and strong feeling in the
Stalwart mind, which bodies no good to
the faction of his party which so cruelty
Inundated him in 1882.
A correspondent asks: "What is the
salary of the President of the United
States ?" Fifty Thousand dollars; but
then, my dear sir, you can't have the
place. There are too many applicants
already. And we forgot to mention that
while the salary is only $780, 600, it takes
$3.50, 900 more or less, to get the situation
about what it has cost several times to
become U. s. Senator from Nevada.

For a number of years the great bulk OF
immigration to this country was from Ire
land, but lately it has changed, and Ger
many sends us more people than any other
part Of Europe. In Chicago there are more
Germans Than Americans, and separately
OF all other Dationalities. The estimated
population of Chicago is over 620, 900. The
Germans are 209, 631 in number, the Ameri-
cans 143, 900 and the Irish 114,000. These
three nationalities take the lead. The Bo-
hemians come fourth, the Swedes fifth, the
Poles sixth and the Spaniards last. Thus,
it will be seen that the Americans are out
numbered by foreigners in an American
CITY.

An Earnest Compliment.

Afunny incident occurred in the Metrop'
olitan Theater Sacramento, recently dur
ing the play of Divorced" AS the
wronged wife comes to take her final leave
of her husband, she with all the fervor Of
a true wife, her words trembling on her
lips in tones of deepest despair, asked him
if he thought it best that they should sep
srate, asked him imploringly to forgive her
if she had failed in her duty as a wife. He
stood unmoved, a cold heartless wretch.
Not so a certain '49er in the audience, who,
in his wholesouled honesty, smote his hand
and cried out, Oh the man." 1t is need
less to say it drought down the house,
1t certainly was a tribute to the actress
who presented the part of the deserted wife.

Strange Accident TO Two Miner

Strange Accident TO Two Miners.
VIRGINIA CITY, Sept. 16. About 9
o'clock this morning Felix Cornyn and
Mike Mcbride were working in a winze in
the Hale d Norcross groupings, when
something fell and struck Cornyn on the
head. Whether it was a rock or tool Of
some kind the miners are unable to tell.
The first intimation Mcbride had of the
accident was seeing Cornyn fall. Spring
ing to his side, he found blood flowing
from the wound in his head, and called for
help. Dan Foley came, w the men car
rled the injured man TO a room in the
Norcross hosting works, where Drs.
Bronson and Weber we're called. They
found C%ornyn's skull badly broken. Sew
eral pieces of bone were removed. Blood
coming in a stream from q large artery on
the top Of the head. A compress was ap-
piled, n ice placed about The mans
head, after it had been bandaged, to stop
the excessive flow of blood. Cornyn can
not survive. At 4 O'Clock this afternoon
the in iured mans condition had not i'm
proved, n there was little hope for his
recovery.
About the time that Cornyn was injured
William Pierce, foreman of the Hale d
Norcross, and Charles Mathewson, fore
man Of the Combination shaft, were de-
%soending, the latter just below the 1000
level, something came down the shaft and
struck Pierce on the back of the neck.
M~athewson held him upright until the
$500 level was reached, where it was found
that his limbs had become useless. He
was taken to the surface and physicians
summoned, who pronounced him par
alyzed from the neck down. He was in
sensible, but in two or three hours re-
gaind the power of speech. At 2 P. M. he
was quite sensible, but could give no lucid
explanations of how the accident occurred,
further than related.
VIRGINIA CRY, 4 P. Mt is Just learned
that Pierce's skull is broken, as Cornyn's
was. He is resting quietly.
Death of n Newspaper Carrier.
VIRGINIA, New, Sept. 16.-Sunday after
noon, Robert Bennett, a newspaper carrier
IA years of age, fell under a car. He was
attempting to board it at Gold Hill and
had his right thigh terribly crushed. His
leg was amputated two inches below the
hip. There is not much hope for the boys
recovery. The boys father, R. K. Ben
nett, now dead, was an Enterprise carrier
for 20 years.

Our District Government.

10 The Editor Of The Euentng Crit,c;
Under pressure OF other duties, have re.
Gently taken no part in the public discussions
in relation TO our District AFFAIRS. But have
observed with surprise several, statements as
suming the impracticability OF the misappli-
cation OF the public funds under our present
form OF government.
The president OF the Board OF Commissioners
out any violation OF law l would be glad to
have him do II, and II there 10 any wasteful
expenditure Congress Is responsible for It,"
And ono OF his colleagues says: 1--WE do
crecy about u.s."
In tho same connection, abiding to street
improvements under the Commissioners estl-
mates, Captain Greene aptly admits: "We
are restricted to the streets named. We can
not add any street,
Now, to oblige the Commissioners, have the
honor TO inform them that under this Commits
sioners' government moro than $4,000 OF the
public funds have been expended by the Com
sioners in single year in open violation OF
law on streets not included In their estimates,
and never even submitted 10 the Secretary OF
the Treasury for his approval, and more than
$4,000 thereof were unlawfully used for the
Improvement OF streets at more than So per
square yard directly on the line OF travel be-
tween the residences OF two OF the District
commissioners, and further, that the Commits.
eioners and their bondsmen have already
been relieved from legal liability therefor
by a rider, In deceptive phrase, in a subse-
quent act OF Congress, and still further, that
opportunities are persistently pressed even
upon The present Cengress for additional re.
lief from liability for still larger amount OF
illegal expenditures.
From careful observation am satisfied that
this form OF government Is proof neither
against fraud, favoritism, nor secrecy, and
think can accommodate the Commissioners
with Illustrations indefinitely.
