The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-07-08

The people who write about or in other
ways spread the impression hat miners,
mechanics and laborers are in demand here
are doing a double injustice-to the men
who are now employed here and to the
men whom they induce to come here. Butte
is to-day undoubtedly the most prosperous
camp in North America, but there is an
abundance OF miners, mechanics andlabor-
ing men here to answer every demand.
There is not the work here, present nor
prospective, to warrant others in coming
here. New men could find work here only
by crowding out Others. The influx of new
men would je%opardize the present scale OF
wages, and as wages come down the pros
perity OF the town will suffer. The man
who will spread the impression that here
is employment for hundreds OF men and
will induce them to come here, is no friend
OF the miners and other workingmen, nor
OF the camp itself. There is no room here
for any large number of men. There is no
end to the room for capital.

WHEN the Hon. B. p. Carpenter relin-
quishes the Gubernatorial chair in favor OF
Governor Hauser, he will enter upon the
practice of the law at Helena. He has
brought his family to the Territory and
will cast his lot with us for the future.
Governor Carpenter has made only friends
during his official career here, and he will
be cordially welcomed as a private citizen.
He is an able lawyer and will be an orna'
ment to the bar OF the Territory, as his
very worthy family are to the society OF
the CAPITAL city.

BERRY and his new wife, widow OF the
late Mr.. Huyck. telegraph operator at the
depot, have gone out into the world 10 De-
gin their married life. They had an uh-
bonded assurance to come back mere anu
register publicly at an hotel, WITHIN a week
of the time that Huyck committed SUICIDE
in consequence OF their disgracefui q
Mrs. Huyck had been a wife, a mistress OF
another, a widow and a wife AGAIN all
within the space OF one week. She peats
the record. Her conduct was outrageous.
No wonder, then, that the railroad poys'
the friends and companions OF her ate nus
hand. were incensed almost beyond control.
They had seen him in his last agonies, had
assisted in the efforts to bring him BACK TO
life and had seen him carried to his last rest
ing place in Potter's field almost as a beast
would have been taken. Their feelings had
been thoroughly aroused and they had de-
liberately made up their minds that the
shameless couple who had brought him TO
his death, ever though they had been mar
ried, should not be permitted to live IN
this community to launt their shame III
the faces OF an honest and vlrtuous
people. The:.boys behaved Handsomely
under the provocation and were
satisfied with giving the creatures a scare
from which they are not liable soon 10

where they will try to be happy. Ihey
begin life in a most unauspicious manner.
Can love, confidence and happiness spring
from such a union? The human heart and
the human mind are complex machines
work in a course not understood by man,
and their operations are beyond human
philosophy. Right is an abstract matter
we can do right only to the extent OF our
light. Passion, ignorance and other causes

The harm they could do has been done.
| They have left the scene OF their disgrace.
The future is before them-forthey are both
hardly put o their teens. If they can find
happiness and peace of mind elsewhere the
world should be content, but We fear their
minds will oft revert to Butte, to an un-
marked and uncared grave in the cemetery
on the plain below. We fear to them will
oft appear; in the Silly night, to disturb
their slumbers, the haggard and distorted
face OF a dying man, who fell upon the altar
of a love that they despised. We fear that
a gaunt spirit will walk between them
through life, chilling them in all their hopes
and their efforts-and widening a breach
that will end in misery and %perchance in
death as miserable as that of Huyck.

. SENATOR SHARON has gained a very de-
cided victory over his Nemesis, Althea, in
granting him the right to appeal his cause
to the Supreme Court-both from the juds'
ment and the order OF Judge Sullivan grant
ing Althea alimony and %counself fees. This de
cision of the Supreme Court is a serious
blow to Althea and cannot set well on the
stomach OF her counsel, who depended on
the fnality OF Judge Sullivan's charge. AL
thea and her attorney hoped to get the
very liberal allowance and thus be BILE to
fight the Senator with his own money. 1t is
beginning to look as though the tide was
turning in favor of Sharon and against the
cOnSDiratOrS.

THE outlook now is hat it will be a very
frigid season for the show-bill printers and
photographers. At least a dozen of the
leading theatrical managers have announced
their determination to do away with wall
paper all together, next season, and confine
themselves exclusively to newspaper adver.
tising. Next to railway fares, paper bills
have been the heaviest drain upon theatri-
cal enterprises. We have no doubt that
the change will be found entirely satisfac.
tory and profitable. But the newspapers
gain will be the show-printers' loss.

Mr.. Hauser and has no regrets nor bitter

divisions, " ''~dissensions,' ct cetera, found

for sensations. The latest is the severe

the people seems to be taking a different

1T is now said that the statue OF liberty
is an artistic abortion. 1t is
claimed that it will be impossible to erect
it so that it will remain in position, as the
hand which holds the torch is without spe,
cial support and is SO heavy that it will
pull the balance OF the statue over. Engi-
neers are now examining the work from a
practical standpoint.

The report of the Commander-in-Chie of
the Grand Army of the Republic, made to
the Encampment at Portland, shows that
there are thirty-eight departments OF the
organization, which represent 5,O36 posts;
with 25O,6S4 members, or about 25 per
cent. ofthe totalnumber of men who served
in the Union side in our civil war. The
origin OF the Grand Army Of the Republic
is due, SO this years report says, to the
late DR.. B. F. Stevenson of Springfield,
Illinois. Primarily it was a charitable or
ganization, but it has been so prosperous
and f%ourishing that a good part of it's work
is now confined to keeping up the spirit of
patriotism by exercising the veterans right
of fighting his battles over again. This is a
great service to the country, both in it's
historical as well as patriotic aspect.
| The camp-fires OF the veterans glow
into a warmth that increasing years
make comfortable, and it is well that they
as any remain. At the present time it is
estimated that the membership of the
Grand Army is at it's height. Henceforth
it's members will gradually grow less, but
! the grand army of ex-soldiers who now
justify it's title shows that it will be long be-
fore the last post is withdrawn. There are
no more recruits for the Grand Army.
Half as many again as now meet died
during the war, and perhaps as many more
have heard their last r~oll-call since then.
Soon the meetings of the posts will grow
sad and they will be called on more fire.
quently to turn out and escort their com
rades to the grave. To their friends and
companions the annual encampment of the
Grand Army posts can only be tinged with
sadness. mingled with pride; but to the
South the encampment should every year
be a more and more inspiring sight, as the
meetings OF the veterans of the Revolution
were to the men who nave made the Grand
Grmy of the Republic.

THE theory OF cremation is steadily

The theory OF cremation is steadily grow
ing. Everywhere it is crowding itself upon
the people. The necessity Of a better
method OF disposing OF the dead is laeding
men to think OF cremation. The very
thought of burial is repulsive. Cremation
is a beautiful and not the least repulsive
custom. But the danger to the living that
emanates from the burial places OF the
dead is 80 great that the other plan will
force itself into general use. Speed the day.

By their idiotic conduct on the Fourth
OF July, in placing the flags on the public
buildings and private residences at half
mast, the Mormons made more prejudice
against themselves than ever existed be-
fore. 1t was not only an insult to the flag,
but to Republican institutions, with
which the leaders of the Mormon church
have nothing in common. The Mormons
by this act of disloyalty made an open
showing to the country OF their contempt
for the flag and the Government that it
tvDifed.
