"A weIl-known republican paper places
Blaipe's vote at 1870, Cleveland's at 180
and Buffers at 81. So You can see that
the "wiseacres down east" are not for
getting that the General is in the fight
and has come to stay. Nearly every
body thinks the election will bethrown
into the house of representatives, all on
account of Butler. and how that will
result it is difficult to say. though the
smart democrat thinks he knows.
But let the result this year be what it
may, there can be but one opinion as to
what this great movement augers of the
future. It means that if the people will
remain true to themselves, four years
hence we can bid farewell to the lscoun-
erels of the old parties and wipe our
weeping eyes. General Butler stated
the case clearly in a recent speech, in
the following words: GAS have no
secrets, / viii tell you what am, about.
/ am about founding Peoples party
that shall last when / am gone. It may
be nothing to me. I am an old man,
but told you while ago how the re-
publican party grew from small begin
ming. So stand up to be counted. There
never will be, IN my judgment, another
contest fought between these two parties.
Whichever one is beaten, the honest
rank and file will 60 to the Peoples
party. We shall become victorious"
The Labor enquirer., 1884-09-27

NEVER in the history Of this country
has there been an uprising in recognition
of the worth of citizen equal to the
present movement for General Butler.
From Maine to California, and from the
lakes to the gulf, comes cheer upon cheer
for the champion of the Peoples rights.
From the shop and the mine, from the
factory and the field, from the storehouse
and the pulpit, the braye sons of America
are laundering forth their denunciations
of the corrupt political machinists who
have cursed our fair land, and are ap-
'pealing to those who love truth, justice
and home to rally to the support of Ben
jamin F. Butler. the Peoples standard
bearer. ~

organized at the Tabor Hose house last even

attempted. Speeches were made by Messps.

Is He Willing!

For Ine enquirer. ". y, .- ..s--
A democrat orator was praising Cover
nor Cleveland in speech lately before
"a large and enthusiastic assemblage of
voters" The orator thought Grover
Cleveland had done his duty as sheriff;
he had never shrunk from the onerous
tasks which the Office of mayor imposed
on him he had not quailed when con-
fronted with the terrible pressure of re-
sponsibility and duty when holding the
position of governor. !
and" adds our orator, "God willing, as
president of the United States he will do
his duty"
Except for the enthusiasm, some of
the intelligent voters might be, terror
stricken by the reflection that some aw-
full consequences would probably ensue
if God should not be willing the presi-
dent should do his duty. Whether a
man does his duty or not depends on
God, whose decision in the matter is sup
posed to be final regardless of whether
the presidents acts will be beneficial or
detrimental to the people. Perhaps God
would not be willing high official should
do his duty unless He hears long prayers
thatit be 80, from all over the land.
Perhaps the orator has some means of
knowing in advance whether God will
sanctionthe proper performance of the
presidents duties, or whether he would
be pleased to see Grover Cleveland, as
president, neglect some of his duties, or
perform some acts outside of his duty.
What an advantage it would be to us
TO know whether Gods Endorsement de-
pends on the man we may elect, or on
the kind of duties he is appointed to per-
form. We could then withdraw Cleve-
land if he did not suit.
We have many religious people who
believe all individuals presidents in
cluded) possess entire freedom of. will to
perform their duty or otherwise. This
orator thinks all will power to do right
or to sin, comes from God. If 80, God is
willing that agreat many sins be COM
mitted. He was willing to have Isaac
Jacobson hung in Chicago last week !;
He was willing the doomed man should
shoot George Bedell some time ago He
was willing that Bedell should not want
to pay Jacobson 81 due for labor per-
formed, and that jacobson should buy
pistol and get crazy drunk so that he
could perform the deed, He was willing
saloon-keepers should sell the poison
that crazed the murderer, and that the
state should license them to do so. He
was willing Jacobson should want his
wages, and feel aggrieved at not receiy-
ing the dollar due him. God is willing
to see in force an industrial system which
makes the reward for labor depend on
the whim of man we call employer,
In short, God is willing all the societary
causes should exist which made Isaac
Jacobson victim. He is also willing
society should punish its own victims,
He made rich coal mines for US but is
willing few men should Gown" them
and have all the benefit. How fortunate
that He.is willing that the miners who
bring out the coal should have enough,
part of the time, to keep themselves and
families from starving. i.
God is the author of evil as well as
good, says the bible. Praise God from
whom all evils flow. ZENo.

Visiting the Silver Monument.

The first lady visitors to the Silver
Monument mine under its present
management enjoyed the hospitality
of Superintendent Drake, yesterday
afternoon. The party comprised Mrs.
Jacob Dimes. Mrs. Dora Beckett and
Misses Alice Barnes and Alice Ander-
son with John Mcbride as driver and
the writer as footman. The Silver
Monument is situated within u couple
of miles of the backbone of the con-
tinent and affords as grand and charm
ing scenic outlook as any point In the
Black range. The deep. dark gulches
below, the towering peaks above and
the rugged preciplces staring from all
sides I'LL the observer with awe aud an
overwhelming sense of grand mag
niEcence. Under Superintendent
brakes management The mine has
been entirely retimbered. provided
with double compartment shaft and
an apparatus for hosting and Is con-
yenient and thoroughly safe, but the
visitors did not venture TO explore the
depths, contenting themselves with in
specting the dump selecting speci-
mems of the handsome ore produced
and IN littering up Mr.. brakes abode
with fern leaves which are found in
profuse luxurance in the adjacent
parks.
Speaking OF the beautiful ore, MIR.
Drake says that the superintendent of
