The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-03-01

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who made
the greatest effort of his life in his
magnificent speech nominating
Blaine, has expressed himself very
decisively, and almost authoritative
ly, as to the prospects of Mr.. Blaine's
candidacy this year. In a recent in
terview with Chicago reporter he
said: 1T has been said that sew
eral years after the cavalry of cd Ma
poleon was disbanded the moment
the old horses heard the b~ugle-call
they would Immediately tall into
line. Probably the campaign will
have a like effect upon Nj. Blaine.
The force Of habit will be such that /
think long before the convention
meets he will be q candidate. He
may not think that he wants the
place, but I guess he does, and that
want will probably be increased
when he thinks some one else may
get It,"
There Is as much sagacity as knowl-
edge of the human nature of all who
ever were Presidential candidates in
the last sentence above noted.
The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1884-03-01

It is worth renlarking just now hat
no candidate for the Presidency in
this country ever publicly announces
hlmseE as such. When statesmen
are approached on the subject they
generally blush and modestly deny
the imputation. When written to
they always say that they are not
candidates and will not be. Some of
them, like Mr.. Flower. go SO far as
to say that they are out Of politics
entirely and attending solely to busi-
ness. Even John Logan pretends
that he is not a candidate, though
he is working like a beaver for the
Republican nomination night and
day and his estimable wife is helping
him. Perhaps the time will come
when candidates for the Presidency
will inclose a five dollar note to the
editors of all the leading newspapers
along with a little card saying:
please announce me as a candidate
for the Presidency of the United
States, subject to the decision of the
~(insert the name of party National
Convention" If that day ever ar
there will be money in the
newspaper business.

ter to 70 up and see u hat the trouble
was. She went up stairs with .
lighted lamp in her hand; she got
frightened before she reached Miss
Blackburn's room, however, and
started to 20 back, when Mc3evney
apreared at the kitchen door and
asked her to come in; she entered the

UNFORTUNATE BIsM

Probably no European statesman
was ever so mercilessly lampooned as
Bismarck has been during the past
year or two. His obstinate resistance
to the importation of the American
hog into Germany aroused the ire,
the wit, and in some instances, the
malice Of the American press. And
now comes a fresh outbreak against
him on account of his treatment of
the resolutions adopted by our Con-
gress, extolling the virtue, patriotism.
etc. of the late Doctor Lasker, who
died in this country. DR.. Lasker
was a member of the German Parlia-
ment. His ability, his integrity and
his patriotism could not be doubted
by the German Government, but he
held political views at variance with
those entertained bv Bismarck, and
when he opposed Bismarck he OPP.
posed the Emperor.
Now, while do not propose to offer
an apology, nor even an excuse for
the arbitrary conduct of the German
Chancellor in SO summarily return
ing the resolutions referred to, it
may be said there is another side to
this matter which probably has not
been SO closely observed. Had DIR.
Lasker died in Germany it is not
likely Congress would have troubled |
itself in passing resolutions of condo
lence and sympathy. But he died in
New York while on a visit to this coun-
try. He was an eminent liberalist
and had he lived in free America he
doubtless would have made his mark
in the councils of our nation. Our
Congressman who are ever ready to
make long speeches and resOlute-a
privilege which no one wishes to de-
prive them Of seized the occasion of
death to indulge in their weak
ness and passed resolutions eulogistic
IF the dead German. These resolu-
ions were sent to Minister Sargent at
he German court with instructions
% him to present them to the Ger
nan government. They were handed
% Bismarck who politely returned
hem to the American minister.
And now Congress Is mad, and
everybody else is mad and the press

More Dynamite.

LONDON, Feb. 2a.-[nformation
was lodged with the police that an
attempt to blow up the Law Courts
with dynamite was imminent. They
arrested three men and seized a large
quantity of dynamite discovered in a
house In Glare Market, near the
Strand.
The dynamite discovered at Char
ing Cross and. Paddingt0n stations
was labeled "Atlas Powder" Both
clocks were of American make. A
copy of the New York Sun dated
Feb. 6, 1884. was in the vallse at Pad
dingtOn station.
In the Commons Churchill in
quired, whether the government in
tended to ask further powers in re-
gard to the dynamite fiends; whether
they would ask permission to expel
from Great Britain persons suspected
of having connection with the recent
discoveries of dynamite.
A council of th' chief police and
railroad officials have decided to in.
crease the detectives and to take i'm
p0rtant steps the nature of which
has been kept secret.
In the Commons yesterday even
ing several Parnellites severely con-
demned the dynamite proceedings
and declared that no excuse was valid
for such attempts upon life and prop.
erty. They: declared that conspira-
cies of this nature were in no wise
associated with the Irish cause but
were Matched IN America and at
to carry them out had been
made by agents sent from the United
States.
The English government has decid-
ed to send q courteous dispatch to
America, relative to the action of
in c0untenancing and as

SALMI MORSE.

This remarkable man who recently
suicided is thus spoken of by a New
York exchange: The suicide Of
Salmi Morse closes the eventfui ca
reer of one of the most remarkable
enthusiasts that local annals have
recorded for years. For months this
man was the topic of discussisn and
the object of curiosity here simply
because he insisted upon fighting
public opinion with his Passion Play.
He was a strange undisciplined
mixture Of the philosopher, the ad-
venturer and the charlatan. At one
moment be talked like u sage, at the
next he had dropped to the show
man. He had the elcquence of a
Muncbausen, the effortery of a Cog
liostro and the encyclopedia memory
of a Person. But he was versatile;
he had been everywhere on the hab-
liable globe, and burrowed as a monk
in Syria, had edited q comic paper In
California and had written farces
and sold fancy goods In New York.
With regard to the Passion Play he
was a monomaniac. In religion he
was a mystic who had revived the
superstitions of the second and third
centuries; In business he was an en-
thusiast. The failure to produce the
Passion Play crushed him. Hegrew
feel that he was fighting an ava
The inevsiableness of his
unnerved him and was the be-
ginning Of his personal downfall.
