YoUNG MCGEE, who was tried at the last
term of the District Court, convicted OF
manslaughter and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for one year, has been pardoned
by the Governor. Though there has been
much local sympathy for this young man
who killed his step-father, the pardon will
not meet with universal approval. The
young man was not justified in committing
the crime, and his conviction was the result
OF fair and impartial trial The jury
was an unusually good one. had all the
facts before them, and in view OF the ex-
.tenuating circumstances, made the SEN
tence light. 1t is not that any one would
specially like to see this young man dis
graced and locked up in the penitentiary,
but there is growing feeling that shootings
are too common. and that he who re-
sorts to the gun should be pun
ished on general principles. We have no
doubt that very good case was made 20
the Governor in behalf OF MeGee but pun
, ishment is inflicted for twO-fold purpose,
first for the benefit OF the prisoner and sec
ondly as n warning to others. In this
community there is feeling that the man
who takes human life, save in defense ofhis
person or property should be punished.
That Governor Hauser acted upon the
recommendations OF some OF the foremost
people OF the camp, is, however, undoubt-
edly true, and he is not to be censured for
leaning to the side of mercy. Now that
young McGee has secured his liberty, we
trust that the experience OF the past year
will be valuable to him and be the means
OF leading him into a better life. He should
seek new associates and a home in better
moral atmosphere than he moved in be-

JOHN SHERMAN seems to be sore over the
result OF the Ohio election, which lea yes him
out in the cold, cor has come up to the anx-
ious bench to seek pardon for his political
sins. In harangue at Washington, Satur-
day night, he launched out with the sterec.
typed chargo of fraud against the Democ-
racy in Ohio. Like all other defeated DO
litical demagogues, he is conceited enough
to believe that the people are too blind to
see his faults or that he has been sharp
enough to conceal them from the public
gaze. This won't answer, Mr.. Sherman, !,
The honest people OF Ohio, while majority
OF them cast their ballots for the Republi-
can candidate for Governor were just as
decided against the candidates for the Leg
isture who had pledged themselves to re-elect
you United States Senator. The honest
yeomanry OF Ohio had resolved to show
the country that they would no longer be
bamboozled by such political jumping
jack. The cry OF fraud with the rejected
Senator is like that OF stop thief, by the
criminal trying to throw his pursuers off of
his track. The fraud OF Sherman and his
co-conspirators in Louisiana to cheat Sam
uel J. Tilden out OF the Presidency has at
last, so far as the arch fend in the hellish
work is concerned, been partly avenged.
The mills OF the gods grind slow, but sure.

FA.LUES' TROUBLES.
The Jours State Their Side of the
Question.

In THE MINER OF Sunday there was pub.
lished a statement OF the differences between
the boss and the journeymen tailors OF this
city. The article contained simply state.
ment OF facts, as given The MINER. but as
both sides are entitled to Il hearing space
is cheerfully given the following card, pre-
pared by the President and Secretary of
the Taiiors' Union:
"TiIe writer in SUNDAYS MINER was en-
tirely mIsinfOrmed in regard to the trouble
among the tailors. In order to earn the
money which some employers say we do,
we have to work from fifteen to eighteen
hours per day. Ii we were to confne our
working hours to ten hours per day, as
other trades do, the average tailor's wages
would not exceed S15 or SIS weekly. The
three tirms-Schilling, Jonas and McCon-
vllle-say they have been paying the bill OF
prices they agreed to a year ago. Mr.. Schil-
ling is the only one of the three who has
done so. The other have not. In some in
stances two and three dollars have been de-
ductedf'om one garment. Such an instance
happened no lattr.than Saturday last, and
with tie gentleman who told The MINER
reporter he would pay prices that would
hurt nobody. This Main street tailor (Mc-
Conville) openly asserts that he is getting
his work made by sending it to Salt Lake
City factories, and doesn't care d-n for
Butte City workmen. 1t has always been
his policy to flood the town with Mormon
tailors i'll order to have competition among
US slaves and get some to work cheap. The
two firms that signed to pay our new prices
(E. L. Bonner q Co. and F. w, Hunt-we
thank them) expressed their astonishment
at the smallness OF our demands, which are
no higher than eastern wages. This is the
truth OF the matter regardless OF what
avaricious boss taiIors may say to the

WE do not know that Editor Read, of
the Inter Mountain, would accept the Com
missionership from the West Side to the
New Orleans Exposition. but we do hope
that Governor Hauser will give him an op-
portunity to go, if he chooses. He would
make an acceptable and useful Commits
sloner, because he has brains, experience
and thorough knowledge of the resources
OF the Territory.
Since the above lines have been put into
type the Governor has appointed Mr.. Read
to this important mission. While The
MINER would be sorry to lose Mr.. Read even
temporarily from Butte and from the
journalism Of Montana, we still hope that
he will be able to see his way clear to accept
this appointment and to give at least some
portion OF his time to the exposition. We
have already expressed ourselves as to tie
eminent fitness OF the appointment. 1t is a
just recognition OF powerful profession, a
reward to hard-wo orking, practical news
paper man and an honor worthily be-
slowed.

Now THAT Mr.. P;rnell has positively de-
cided to visit this countryin in January next,
active preparations for bis reception are
under way. His visit will be made a great
occasion and may mark an epoch in the
history OF the world. 1t will be a phenom-
email action, comparable only to the visit
OF kossuth, when advocating the liberty Of
Hungary. Mr.. Parnel. however, is greater
man than Kossuth, and has an organized
following here. His reception will be cor
respondingly greater and more enthUsias-
tic. He comes to shake hands and to con-
suit with his active supporters here and to
drink in still greater spirit Of independ-
ence. 1t will be the climax OF his bold po-
sltion and aggressive campaign which Mr..
Parnell is now making in England. Mr..
Parnell is not to be sienced by concession,
nor moved by conciliation. He has hon
estly, clearly and fearlessy set forth his
plan OF reform, and nothing less than the
legislative independence OF Ireland will be
accepted by him. He demands repeal of
the Union and the convening of an Irish
Parliament in Dublin. Of all the parties in
British politics the Irish party alone is
united, with a solid front to the enemy No
where are the ranks broken. Mr.. Parnell
has shown himself a magnificent leader, a
politician OF the keenest diplomacy and OF
answering principle. His visit to America
will help him and his cause. 1t will
strengthen, if that be possible, the devotion
OF his followers here and their fealty and
enthusiasm will fortify and encoura e him.

SPEAKING Of Governor Hauser's report
to Secretary Lamar, of the Interior De-
partment, the ST. Paul Globe says: "Mon-
tana's new Governor is a banker, but he
knpMs hnW to discuss the silYffEE ffEi If
true that Montana has d direct interest in
the silver question, and Governor Eausers
fidelity to the interests OF his Territory
would naturally prompt him to advocate a
proposition which would add to it's ma
terial prosperity. But, in his recent mes
sage to the Secretary OF the Interior, Gov
ernor Hauser discusses the subject with a
clearncss and ability which shows that he
has given it thorough study. He shows the
falacy OF the proposition to have our Gov
ernment suspend the coinage OF silver when
the most thrifty nations of Europe, al
though they are purchasers and importers
OF silver, have continued to use it as legal
tender money until each individual irhabi-
tant has about three and one-half times as
much as each individual inhabitant OF the
United States. They have from S12 to Sl4
per capita, while we have only 1915.
While silver mining is the principal indus
try in Montana. it is not the only one
Stock-raising is next in Importance Ac
cording to the statistics OF the message
there are 900, 900 head of cattle, 100, 900
head OF horses and 1900 900 head of
sheep in the Territory. The total gross
value OF exports for the last year was S24,-
100000. The population is estimated at
over 100, 900. Thus it will be seen that
Montana Is rapidly growing to the proper
tions OF Statehood and will in the near fu-
ture be knocking at the door OF Congress
for admission. Under the excellent admin
which Governor Hauser is sure to
give the Territory, Montana will make
rapid strides within the next few years"

| RED HEADED and Hopeful is the nom de
plume of State Sen tier. Cooper, Chairman
of the Republican Campaign Committee in
PENNSYLVANIA. He, like another sorrel
top, editor OF Montana Republican Jour.
doomed to disappointment. The campaign
| in the Keystone state wakes warmer every
| day, and it will continue to grow hotter
] until the "Ides of November" decide the
contest triumphantly for the Democracy.
The Republicans are struggling to elect Mr.
Quay, the henchman Of the Camerons,
State Treasurer. He is VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt, as we'll as one of the most expert
political trimmers in that old common
wealth. The Republicans count largely
upon certain class of the foreign vote
sold bodily to Blaine last fall. In this they
will be sadly disappointed. Those voters
discovered, long since, that they had been
made tools of in the hands of scheming
demagogues, who enriched themselves by
their treachery and perfidy. Such tricks
cannot be repeated. The men who were
duped and betrayed now burn with indig-
nation against those who deceived and
used them as mere chattels hence they will
rally in larger numbers than ever before,
and vote solidly for Mr.. Day, the standard
bearer of that grand old Democratic party
which has so heroicly, in times past, de-
Tended and upheld the rights OF all foreign
citizens. Mr.. Day, the Democratic can
didate, stands peerlessly before the people
as man OF unblemished integrity and re-
markable ability. This is a fight by the
people against rings and corruptionists,
and their verdict at the polls in triumph
antly electins Mr.. Day, will demonstrate
the fact that capability, honor and integ- |
rity are the greatest attributes to success
in a political battle.

LONGER or more frequent sessions of the
District Court is the cry that comes up from
every point in the Territory. At Bozeman
there are 100 cases on the docket, and it
will be utterly impossible to dispose them
all. Indeed, it looks as though the docket
would never be cleared. The Avant Courier
in the following apt}y illustrates the vexa-
tious delays OF the laws: "The first case
registered for this term was commenced
over ten years ago, dragged it's way through
the court to the Supreme Court, only to be
returned for new trial. 1t will likely take
ten years longer to get before the Supreme
Court again, and even then the defendants
are very likely to have some plan that will
operate to defeat the payment OF the ac-
count. Verify this law business is a
peculiar institution" Such occurrences
should not be possible. The number of
judges in the Territory will have to be in
creased, SO that the legal business may be
caught up with.

THE last grand jury for Jefferson county
called attention to the evils flowing from
the want of Judgment shown by the Justice
OF the Peace in issuing warrants for the
arrest OF persons against whom there is not
even probability OF establishing case.
The necessity OF binding over complaining
and other important witnesses is also
pointed out. Thousands Of dollars in costs
are annually piled upon all the counties in
the Territory on account OF the carelessness
OF Justices, and a reform is generally de-
manded. The evil exists in Silver Bow
and other counties to the same extent that
it does in Jefferson, and it should engage
the attention OF the Judges. May be if the
costs in few OF these cases were taxed
against the committing magistrates it
would have a wholesome effect.

THE Republican newspapers OF the Ierrl-
tory are Just now shedding crocodile tears
because the Administration is enforcing
treaty obligations in compelling white men
TO ren,atn OIL the reservations. lhey at
tempt to make political capital out OF the
fact, prejudicial to Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration. They charge that the Administra-
ton is inimical to white men. Not to mlnce
words, this may be set down as a lie. They
say the Republican administrations never
enforced these treaty obligations. This is
lie No. 9. Of the many SINS OF omission
that are to be charged against the Republi-
can party this is not one, for 1t steadily
kept intruders from the Indian lands and
in the Gunnison country nearly organized
civil war in 1879 to maintain the treaty
with the Utes. The Administration, as We
have already said, has no alternative but
to enforce the laws and the treaty obliga-
tions. 1t would carry out its agreements
with any foreign power; why not with the
Indians? 1t owes to the Indian the duty OF
a perfectly just and honorable example, to
emphasize the superiority OF the Caucasian
race The charges made are unjust, unrea-
sorable and untrue. The Republican press
is unfair and is not doing itself any credit
nor it's party any good. That the reserva-
tions are too numerous and too large is un-
doubte'lly true. That they comprise some
lands that can be OF no possible use to the
Indians and that is OF the utmost Importance
to white men is also true. But the Democratic
party is not responsible for these things.
These reservations were set aside and ex-
listing treaties made by the Republican
party. Whatever evils exist are directly
chargeable to that party The Democratic
party has received these treaties as politi-
cal legacies that must be administered,
under rules from which there is neither APP
peal nor escape. The Republican papers
will not be able to shift the responsibility
for these matters from the Republican to
the Democratic party and the MINER does
not propose to permit them to do 50.

The people down there have come to the
conclusion that it will never adjourn, and
accept the infiiction rather gracefully. The
routine business has become burdcnsome
and anything out OF the ordinary in the
proceedings is eagerly seized upon. The
other day the Rev. DR.. FELTON, moved that
$500 each be appropriated for life-sized
portraits OF the eminent Baptist, Rev. Jesse
Mercer, and the equally eminent Methodist,
the late Bishop Pierce. Mr.. Arnheiln, who

How Judge French Treated the Evil
Doors Yesterday.


John Doe, for disturbing the peace, was
assessed So and costs in the Police Court
yesterday, but went to jail to serve it out.
Richard Roe loaded himself with bad
whisky, painted the town red, and Ian
gushes in the calaboose for IS and costs.
The greater part OF the afternoon was
occupied in the trial OF the case Of the city
against Mary Anderson for using vile
epithets towards Sarah Bernhardt. Meth r
OF the pair were very handsome, nor were
they actresses OF any note, but they
brought as fine an array of Galena and
Wyoming street nymphs into the court
room as one could scare upin an afternoons s
hunt. The testimony was OF the most dis
gusting character, and went to show that
both OF the parties had already paid fine
each for the same squabble. After hearing
thelawyers argue on all the technical points
they could think OF, Judge French properly
threw the case out of court.
