Political POINTERS.

| The voice of the free trader is
heard In the land. Our Woodville
correspondent utters it. But he is
badly "of" in shouting for Ben But
ler for President. Butler is fully
committed to protection. He makes
reparation for his mistake, however,
in shouting quite as loud for Joe
Toole for Delegate to Congress.
Hurrah for Tooie.
Last evenings Inter Mountain
gives some "More Solemn Facts for
the Consideration of Voters" Their
solemnity is their most striking fea-
lures and strongly smacks of grave
yard literature. "Hark from the
toombs, etc." Will the Major lead
in prayer?
Baldwin, Forbis and Duffy will
epresent Silver Bow county in the
next Legislative Assembly of Mon
tana with an eye single to the ad-
vancement of the interests of this
county and the Territory at large.
The people are to be congratulated
that gentlemen of such marked
ability have consented to serve them
in the capacity of legislators.
The gallery IN the Pavilion will be
reserved for ladies and their escorts
next Saturday evening at the great
Democratic meeting. The grand
stand will be erected on one side of
the immense hall 80 that the audi.
ence will experience no difficulty in
hearing the distinguished speakers.
At the Peoples Party meeting in
Certerville last evening Mr.. J. M.
Fish, one of the speakers, handled
Captain Wyman without gloves. At
the Republican gathering there pre-
viously the Ca aptain reflected some
what severely upon Mr.. Fish, who is
candidate for constable upon the
Independent ticket. This treatment
didn't set well on the Independent
stomach of Mr.. Fish and in reply he
turned over the Captain with a
knotted handspike. Pistols and
coffee for two.
A Democratic meeting will be held
at Centerville tonight which will be
addressed by prominent speakers.
Turn out, Democrats, and make the
hills ring with your cheers.
Our old friend, Mr.. John Mcguire,
has consented to run for the council
on the Republican ticket vice Couch
who declines. Now if John should
be elected he would organize troupe
from the members OF the legislature
and play them to big houses at the
capital. He could get sl the heavy
Williams and clowns from among the
Republicans, and look to the Demo-
Gratis for his heroes and leading actors.
60 in, John! There's an honest per-
nv in the enterprise if you should be
elected, but the Lord knows you
have no show to be.

Correspondence.

We are in receipt of the following
from Mr.. Kirchhof, editor of the
Engineering and Mining Journal,
with the request to publish the same.
This we do, reserving the right to
comment upon the subject matter at
a later date:
New YORK, Oct. Is, 1884.
Editor Butte Miner, Butte CITY,
Montana:
DEAR SIR:-The following letter
was sent to the Inter Mountain of
your city, under date OF October 18th
but has not received any attention:
my attention has been called to
the folio wing item in your issue of
the 9Th inst:
The Calumet & Hecla company's
paper, the Engineering and Mining
Journal, is advising western copper
producers to close down their works
and let the Michigan men have
everything their own way. How
many copies of the Journal does the
Calumet s. Hecla concern take?
Please contrast this statement with
the following paragraph from our
issue of September 18Th:
A speculative movement may turn
values upward, but it can not in the
long run hold up metal that is pro-
duced cheaper in all parts of the
world and in largely increased quan~
titles. This increase has come sud-
denly, while the process of wedding
out weak concerns is notoriously
slow.
This fact is strikingly illustrated in
our country, especially in the case of
the smaller lake mines. Compare
lively few have shut down entirely,
while, on the other hand, number
of those who we're near the fatal line
that divides the profitable from the
improbable venture have increased
plant to reduce expenses. We doubt
if auy of them haye succeeded in the
latter effort at as rapid a pace
as the decline in the market
value of the product has taken
place We would urge there
fore, in the most emphatic manner,
that every LAKE mine that can not lay
down copper in New York for less
than 10 cents close down Immediate
Iv. It is a useless exhaustion of re-
serves and of balances to continue at
the present rate. Nor should any
mine in the Rocky Mountains that
can not lay down copper in New
York at IL cents go on with hope
less fight, unless it can secure reduc-
tions in freights, on fuel and produ t
to offset lower prices. Surface bonan-
zas of easily worked ores do not last
forever, and much better profits can
be realized in the future. We be-
lieve it to be the duty of directors
and managers to firmly take a wise
stand in this matter, and We warn
stock holders not, to be cajoled by
promises into propping up weak
enterprises by voting assessments.
AS an act of common justice I
would request you to make room for
the above in your columns"
(Signed.) With usual respect,
G.. K1RcHoFF, Editor.

A Little Mixed.

In last evenings Leier Mountain
appeared garbled account of what
purported to be meeting of the COL
Ored voters of Butte held Wedues-
day evening, and in which Mr..
Booher, Democratic candidate for
school superintendent, IS made to ap-
pear in a peculiar light. The Inter
Mountain stated Mr.. Booher's pres
ence was "inopportune" and had 1t
not been for that the proceedings OF
the Lime Kiln Club would have
passed off in an orderly manner. We
will state for the information OF our
contemporary and its informant that
Mr.. Booher was there at the earnest
solicitation of members of the club
and was not an unwelcome intruder.
Mr.. Booher made pleasant speech,
hnt never referred to the Democrats
freeing slaves. Mr.. Pinkham also
spoke, but did not refute anything
advanced by Mr.. Booher, because
there was nothing to refute.

Legislative Quarters.

According to the Helena Her0ld
the quarters to be occupied by the
Legislature this winter, in the third
story of Parchen's building, are now
nearly finished. All that remains Is
to mt a finishing coat of plasterlng
on and build stairway up which
the bright minds of the Territory can
climb and seek f.r themselves an en-
during fame as law makers. The
ooupc;l chamber is 25x40 feet, while
the House is about 25x6O feet. be-
tween the two is a wide hallway.
Doth rooms are well lighted, and the
Montana Legislature will this winter
have as good quarters as any 1t mss
ever met in.

short distance when the proprietor of
the house overlook him and took his
valise for the balance of $3.50 due
him. In vain did he expostulate.
The lodging house keeper had the
valfse and would hold it for the So so.
Suit was entered in which the pro-
prietOr was made defendant and the
lodger plaintiff, and resulted in a
decision for plaintiff. who got his
valise. This little case cost the lodg-
ing house man $50 so. Quite an ex-
pensive way of collecting s. so.

DIPHTHERIA.
A Few Remarks About the Die
ease.

To the Editor of the MINER.
BUTTE, NJ. T., Oct. 80, 1884.
Publicity and notoriety are gen
orally scorned by upright physicians,
but as certain would-be mentors have
rushed into print and expressed their
ideas on the subject of diphtheria. I
tske the liberty of stating few facts:
Diphtheria is systemic disease with
local mantle stations. The disease ex-
lists in Butte. One of the Ewing
children died last night with that
disease. Memtraneous Group kills in
a short time. Catarrhal Group rare
~. Diphtheretic Group is generally
fatal. Swabbing of throats, unless
where mechanical obstruction occurs
is usually futile. The successful
treatment of the disease in question
Is always antiseptlc in nature.
Homeopathy is so useless that it re-
quires no notice-"F. H." to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

tion of these Gathers" Their con-
nivance with dishonest and unjust
schemes could easily ruin tho county.
They are supreme in their jurisdic-
ton and can make or break any
county to which they belong. 1t Is
the duty Of the people to elect only
men of the very highest standard Of
honor-men of unimpeachabIe in
tegrity added to most sensible and
practical knowledge of business af-
fairs in their every complexion.
Such man is VIM. E. Parsons, of
Woodville, a gentlemen as we'll
known in Butte as in Jefferson coun-
ty. His successful experience as
business man for years eminently
qualify him in this respect. His
probity and honor ana great knowl-
edge of county affairs add another
strong and urgent reason why he
should be elected. His record is
straight and his name stands
A. l. in all past transactions. He is
a man of family, possessed Of liberal
education, is an honored citizen
where known and will fill the bill.
JOINT REPRESENTATIVE.
Harry R. Comley, of Helena, was
the unanimous choice of the dele.
gates at Deer Lodge, September 25th
last.
Mr.. Comley is one of the best and
most prominent members of the bar
in Montana. His record as lawyer
shows success. His past experience
in the Legislature of Montana proves
beneficial now. The people, recog-
nizing his past faithful services, are
anxious he shall serve them again.
His opponent is an unknown Israel
its from New York, imported to this
country by rich relatives in order
that, by looking on, he might accum-
ulate a few grains of common busi-
ness sense. He is unknown, un-
.honored and unsung. He wants the
position, not for the good he can or
will do, or because he is identified
with the county or Territorial in
terest, but simply that he may re-
turn to Nj Yorick with an Honor
able" prefix to his name. Only this
and nothing more. Republicans and
Democrats are alike aware of this
aggravatlng circumstance, and pro-
nouce in tones of indignation against
such presumption on the part of Mr..
Seligman, and against the imbecility
of those who gave him the n0mina-
ton. Harry Comley is of Montana
and for Montana, first. last and al
ways. CHANCE.

Deer Lodge Democrats.

The largest gathering ever gotten
together in Deer Lodge assembled
last evening to hear the good, sound
D -mocratlc truths which emanated
from Hon. J. K. Toole, Major Ma
ginnis and q number of other prom
inent speak ers. The meeting was
full of enthusiasm, and at the close
adjourned with three cheers and q

from Montana. Messrs. Toole and
Maginnis leave Deer Lodge to-day

Independent, %: Hon. Martin
Maginnis returned last evening from
the eastern part of the Territory,
having in the past week addressed
meetings at Glen dive, Miles City and
Billings, also speaking at Bozeman
yesterday from the platform of the
passenger train. He reports the co
thusiasm in that part of the Terrl-
tory great for the Democratic ticket,
and it is safe to count on the usual
big Democratic maj critics in Eastern
Montana.

County Commissioners.

At meeting of the CO Commissioners
held yesterday afternoon the bridge
constructed over Missoula Gulch by
Tate Il Mcdonald was received as
completed according to contract.
A petition was received from the
inhabitants of Browns Gulch pray

district to be formed out of School
District No. 2, of which Browns
Gulch is now a part. The applica-
ton was taken under consideration
until the next meeting which will
probably be in a few days.

passengers all had a narrow escape
from death.
Independent %: Yesterday after
noon Capt. r. E. Fisk met with
quite a serious accident. While he
was driving along lower Main street
the bit broke and his horse started to

q ride with his family and it was
very fortunate that it was no more
serious than it was.
