DECORATION DAY.

Eight days hence a grateful people
will place upon the graves of the
patriot dead garlands of flowers and
wreaths Of evergreen, in commem-
grafton of their gallant lives and
chivalrous deaths. Twenty years
have passed since the fortunes of wal
decided, by the aid of Heaven, the
contest of the internecine war in
favor of the Union. Death has been
busy since in the ranks of the sur
vivors of the Union army, aud the
number of graves to be decorated is
constantly increasing. AS Com
mander-in-Chie Kountz has we'll
and beautifully said: ."Our COM
rades sleep we'll. No tears car dis
turb their profound slumber no
purfume of flowers make their rest
more sweet. But wherever Memo
rial Day is observed there rises a
higher ideal of American valor, a

the Union" The MINER is pleased
to note that the members of Lincoln
Post, in this city, are making all
needed arrangements for the obser-
vance of the day in Butte. On this
day there should be no csteatatious
display. There need be but little ex-
pense connected with the observance.
The objects of Memorial Day are two
fold-to do honor to the dead and to
instruct the living, to teach them the
undying principles of the Republic
and to illustrate at what immense
price. of treasure and of blood, it was
saved. We have no doubt that the
good people of the city will give the
members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic the most cordial aid in their
preparations.

What a wonderful tie is that that
binds the bohemians into one great
brotherhood. The actor, the news
paper scribe, the poet. the artist,
the musician and all creatures
of that ilk, NJ matter now
bright or how cratic, naturally eel
some quiet, retired nook, where they
can spend the early hours OF the
morning, when the rest of the world
is in peaceful slumber, after their own
sweet will. They have q desire for
that abondon that society will not
brook. They move in a little world
of their own. Their hours are mol
those of the world their habits
do not come up to the conventional
Even their Language is
their own and their thoughts r pc
culiar to themselves. The world ex-
presses q great contempt for them, a
feeling they r~eciprocate in q ten-fold
intensity. The bohemians, OF whom
in our large cities a few are still left,
are happier with each other on a
crust of dry bread than they would
be at the grandest banquet in an
other sphere. The bohemian is such
from instinct. You find him all the
world DER. He is confined to no sex
and to no nationality. When he
cannot be q bohemian he becomes
"a good fellow" and gives vent to
his ~recklessness and his geniality
in that way.

Zach. Montgomery, whom Attor-
ney General Garland has just ap-
pointed an Assistant Attorney Cen
eral in the Land Office, seems to
have q savory reputation. The
Washington correspondents are al
ready looking into his record. They
have discovered two pamphlets
written by Mr.. Montgomery in the
long ago, which do not speak well
for Mr.. Garland's appointee. One
of these pamphlets is entitled
speech on the school question, de-
livered by Zach. Montgomery, in the
assembly chamber at Sacramento
City, November sOth, 49," The
other is entitled. drops from
poisoned fountains facts that are
stranger than fiction; questions an
swered as to who own the child Its
own father or mother, or neighbors,
Tom, Dick and Harry; a blow for the
inalienable rights of family against
the monstrous usurpations of State"
Both pamphlets are aimed against
popular education. They are said to
be not only very bitter, but coarse in
their character. The President has
been furnished with copies of the
works and is looking into Mont
gomery's antecedents. Mr.. Mont
gomery's commission will probably
be revoked.

While the Christian who believes
with the Apostle that "All things
should be done decently and in Or
der" can have but little sympathy
with the Salvation Army movement,
there still remains no doubt that the
people OF Sacramento disgraced
themselves by the attack they made
on those peculiar people on Tuesday
night. Liberty of worship is guar
anteed to all by the charter of our
liberties and, unless unseemly con-
duct, interfering with the peace and
happiness of others is INDUCED in this
right should be recognized.

According to Hoyle," says the
San Francisco Chronicle, Is a phrase
common among card players, many
of whom are under the Impression
that Mr.. Hoyle was a reformed
gambler, who turned his attention to
book making as a means to keep
himself out OF the loorE /: Ed
mund Hoyle Was born over 90 years
ago and lived to the ad ganc:d age of
SO, dying in Cavendish square,
London, in 17G9. He was among the
first who took special interest il
whist, aud after it became a craze he
devoted several years Of his life to
teaching the game at a guinea 2
lesson. Some suppose he invented
the game, but it was we'll known
before he was born. However, he
did much to perfect it. He was
paid $4,000 for a treatise on whist.
which was published in 1743. At
the time he was attached to a Gov
eminent office in Ireland. Toward
the close of his life he revised his
treatise and included in it back
CANNON and other popular games of
the day.

Now that the pleasant weather
seems fixed, the attention OF sporting
men is directing itself toward racing
and other outdoor sports. Hasn't
the time come for Butte to organize
a Jockey Club, with ample means to
establish grounds and to give regular
meetings? A little effort in this di-
rection would be almost certain to
lead to success, as the field is ripe for
the work. The offering of liberal
purses would attract some of the best
horses in the West and many people.
There should be no difficulty in CIV
ing two successful meetings a year,
one in the spring and the other in the
fall. The hotel, livery and saloon
men, merchants generally and all
people who cater to transient people
should be interested in such a move
ment. Who will take it in hand2

The Wood River miners strike,
which lasted four months, and nearly
ruined the region, has come to an
end. The miners have finally &c
cepted the $3.50 a day proposition
and have returned to work. The
strikers have lost thousands of dol
lars, so have the operators, the whole
community has been crippled and
now the men return to work on the
basis of the original proposition.
There should be some means of pre-
venting such results. Courts of arbi-
tration should decide all such matters
and dispose of them in a few days.
Such courts might be arranged to the
satisfaction of both capital and labor,
with an understanding that both
should give prompt a%quiesence to the
decisions of such tribunals.

It ia said that recent experiments
in Nevada have shown that wheat
may be raised in many parts Ut the
Sagebrush State without irrigation.
The natural result has been to give a
great boom to the settlement of the
State. In April. in the Carson and
Eureka districts, no less than 1884
acres we're located, and throughout
the State the total amount of land
taken up was 10000 acres. Nevada
may furnish the spectacle, says the
San Francisco Chronicle, of the trans
of a mining into a farming
community. Should this occur we
will probably hear no more CON-
plants from bilious people about the
population of the State.

By the death of Robert E. Odlum,
the famous swimmer, who was
drowned in the East river, on Tues
day, after a Jump from the Brooklyn
bridge, the sporting world has lost
one of its brightest ornaments.

Quickest man in his profession, and
was, withal, an accomplished and
courteous gentleman. AS a tutor he
was without a rival, and his many
former pupils-both ladies and gen.
tlemen-in the East, and especially
in the capital city will remember him
with regret and mourn his sudden
and sad death.

The Inter Mountain does not be-
lieve that the MINER is sincere in its
position on the Montana Governor
ship. It doesn't make much difference
what the Inter Mountain believes, the
MINER is sincere in its position just
the same. It does not believe that
the President can afford to make an
appointment that will create dissen-
sions in the Democratic ranks in
Montana. Both Messrs. Hauser and
Maginnis are entirely acceptable to
the MINER, but we are convinced
that the appointment of either would
have a bad effect upon party bar
mony. A suitable third man can
easily be found and party unity be
maintained.

The Inter Mountain, unable to
grasp the meaning of ordinary
English, construes the following dis
patch into an Endorsement Of the Re-
publican system of bookkeeping:
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The committee ap-
pointed to examine the assets and books of the
United States Treasurer at the close of business
on April LIST, has made its report to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. 1t shows a complete YER
ification Of the books and accounts of the late
Treasurer, Mr.. Wyman.
Now, in plain language what does
this say? That the cash, as shown
to be on hand on balancing the
books, was found in the vaults. A
verification of the cash was not an
investigation into the system of
bookkeeping carried on by the late
Administration. In twenty-four
years, with the volume of business
done in the Departments, a clever
bookkeeper could make many false
entries, and he would be sure to do
it 80 that his balance would be right.
If he saw fit to steal 500, 600 he
would be certain to see that the bal
ance looked straight. These are mat
tiers that cannot be found in q
day. There has, indeed, been
M effort IA vet IN look m theso
frauds. That will be done later on.
In the meantime our esteemed con-
temporary should hire some one to
make for it diagrams of the tele-
graphic dispatches it receives so as to
bring them down to a level of its
understanding.

The Century is a very excellent

Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, Secre-
tary of State under Arthur, is dead.
after a lingering illness. He was
torn in 1917, and has held the high
est positions in the gift of the people
of his native State, New Jersey. He
served in the Senate from 1866 to
1869, and was reelected in 1871. He
has not been distinguished for any
unusual ability, save to hold Office of
great eminence without the qualities
of mind that are usually demanded
in such positions. He was probably
the weakest of the weak men with
whom Mr.. Arthur had surrounded
himself.

There is war between Shoshone
and the Wood River country and the
two seem to be telling considerable
truth about each other. The Wood
River people claim that Eastern peo-
pie are detained at Snoshone, on the
ground that bellevue is dead, HALEY
and Ketchum are but little better
and that the Wood River country is
going to the dogs" The Wood
River people retort that even if this
were true, it would be very impru-
dent for the S%hoshonites to publish it
to the world, since their principal
cash business is derived from the
Wood River traffic. We look for
war down on the Oregon Short Line.

In the Presby terian Assembly in
session at Cincinnati, a Judge Drake,
OF Philadelphia, caused a sensation
by introducing a resolution declsring
the Roman Catholic church aposta-
tized, its priesthood usurpers and it's
baptism invalid. The Judge, to say
the least, has an abundance Of assur-
ance. His churchly education must
have been sadly neglected or grossly
perverted. The Judge is evidently a

upon him indicates that that Was its

Judge Powell, the newly appointed
Judge for Utah, has arrived at Salt
Lake. The QUESTION of the hour
down there is What will the new
Democratic Judge do?" What will
he do? He will enforcs the laws of
the land. He will cause polygamists
to be indicted and tried and if found
guilty will send them to the peniten-
tiaries. He will look upon polygamy
as a crime and he will not excuse 1t
upon the plea of religious belief. If
he does not do these things he will
be a disappointment to the Democ-
racy of the country and a d;scredit to
the President.

ORGANIZED LABOR.

There is just now, in certain quar-
tiers, a hue and cry against 'organized
labor" What is organized labor? 1t
is the combining of the wage-workers
of the country for mutual protection.
Labor has no other means of defense.
Capital, on the other hand, is always
organized. It has inherent elements
OF strength that are not common to
labor; indeed, they are totally lacking
with labor. Money naturally teads
to Capitalization ; labor to disintegra-
ton. The argument advanced is
that organized labor is a dangerous
power in the hands of bad men. This
is true beyond a question. But isn't
organized capital also a source of
danger? Does not the country to-
day suffer from the evils resultant
from the combining of capital? What
can be more dangerous to the COM
mercial interests of the country, and
especially to the wage-workers, than
the forfeit hedged combination of the
producers ofanthracite coal? They not
only dictate the price of wages, but
the amount of production, debating
when the various mines shall work
and when they shall be idle. To
what trains of commercial injustlces
and industrial evils does the pooling
of earnings by parallel lines of rail-
roads lead? The Bessemer steel
makers for years controlled the steel
product of the country and would do
so to-day had not the so-called
blanket patents expired. The glass
manufacturers are united to control
the production and also the rates of
wages. The nail makers, with the
single exception of the Colorado Coal
& Iron Company, have combined to
control the trade, aud do control it
East of the Missouri river. The Pc
troleum product Of the country is in
the hands of q gigantic monopoly,
which not only controls its price, but
also its transportation. Nc one takes
the trouble to point out the dangers
that are liable to arise to the
country from these combinations of
organized capital. The organization
of labor is simply an offset to these,
intended to equalize and neutralize
the evils threatened l:y them. The
order of the knights of Labor is the
most perfect system of labor organiza-
ton yet attained in this country, or
any other. That the power obtained
through such an organization might
be badly directed is patent to every
one, but self-interest will always
dictate the policy of conservatism
advocated by the Knights of Labor.
1t is not q one-man institution, but
very democratic in its character, in
which the humblest has the same
voice as the most exalted. The men
who have fears of danger from organ
lied labor give themselves needless
anxiety.
