We take no delight in personal
journalism, and prefer TO cultivate
pleasant relations with all our con-
temporaries. We have not in q sim
gle instance intentionally misquoted
one of them, nor do we propose to be
misquoted or misrepresented without
q protest. That the MINER has been
misquoted. is utterances misrepre-
sented, and lied about the columns of
the Inter- Mountain furnish abundant
evidence. Its editor has shown a
lamentable lack of candor, sincerity
and truthfulness in his discussions
with the MINER and we have plainly
told him of bis faults. For this
frankness on our part we are made
the subject of a column article In his
last evenings Issue. We have only
to add that we shall continue to call
a spade a spade, and as long as the
editor of the Inter- Mountain persists
In lying we shall remind
him Of his weakness. In regard to
the excerpt from an old issue of the
Inter Mountain, which is paraded in

Copies OF Newspapers wanted,

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Capt. Bedford
PIN, the well known naval engineer
Of England and ex-member Of the
British Parliament, who has Just
completed an extended tour of the
United States and Canadas has ex-
pressed a desire to send the British
Museum a single copy of every daily
newspaper in the United States and
Canada; also a copy of each weekly
OF the dailies. He desires a copy of
March 5th and a weekly copy of the
issue OF the first week in March, the
papers to be addressed to Capt. Bed
ford PIN, No. Crown Office, Row
Temple, E. c., London, England.
1t is Capt. Pins intention to classify
and bind the papers in volumes by
States, Provinces and Territories and
request the British govern ment to
place them in the public archives of
t he British Museum where they will
be open to public inspection by WIS.,
ltors and be carefully preserved.

THE MOUNTAINEERING BILL.

Councilman Mitchell's bill for the
punishment of wife-beaters bids fair
to become a law. It should have
been placed upon u statute books
four years ago when the gentleman
first introduced it in the legislative
council. The bill provides that q
person convicted Of wife-beating
shall be. tied to a pillar or post in
some conspicuous place in the vii
iage, town or city in which the Of
tense was committed with q large
placard attached to his breast or
back, bearing the words "wife
beaten" In states where the law is
in force it is said woman beating Is
comparatively infrequent and is fast
becoming one of the "lost arts" It
is hoped Councilman Mitchell will
succeed this time in passing his bill
through both houses. There are sev-
eral here in Butte on whom its penal
ties might proftably be inflicted.

effect vastly more toward the sup
pres siop of gambling than any iron
clad prohibltory law and at the same
time Weld q revenue to the Territory.
Prohibition as contemplated by this
bill means in plain English permits
son to carry on the vice in secret,
and in this complexion 1t will resolve
itself if the bill shall become q law.
The moral ideas of the prohi bitionists
are ipdubitahly sound in theory,
but will prove woefully defective in
practice. That gambling is licensed
by the laws of the Territory. may
offend the finer moral sensibilities,
but to repeal these laws aud substi-
suite prohibition will be but assum-
ing the mark of hypocrisy. Gamb-
ling will exist aud tie carried on de-
spite the best efforts and laws to pro-
hibit 1T, and though we would gladly
see the vice stamped out, we frankly
admit that we have no faith in the
beneficial effects of the proposed law.
We would gladly make room for
excerpts favoring MI. Fo1bis' bill but
we must confess that outside of this
city the press of the Territory have
thus far failed to speak a good word
for it.

NEWSPAPER MOBBING IN BOISE.

A few days ago our press dispatches
simply mentioned that a mob had
Quilted one newspaper Office in Boise,
Idaho, and attempted to fire another.
Since then the wires have been silent
in regard to the affair. But the fol-
lowing from q recent issue of the
.Shoshone Journal throws q little
light upon the matter:
IA report received as the Journal
goes to press, says the Democrat Of
flee was set on fire and the RepubH-
can Office Quilted and destroyed this
morning by a mob of Pride's and
Governor Bunn's minions, in order
to suppress public opinion and cover
up disclosures which criminate public
officials in connection with the CAPT.
tai steal, and other corrupt jobberies.
Boise is in q state of fermeut. The
people will stand by and protect the
press, If necessary. and will consign
to ipfamy the instigators of mob law.

If this be true the sooner SLOWER

better it will be for its peop'e.

THE BEEF CROP.

OF the coming beef crop, the Stoc k
growers Journal - good authority
upon the suhject-has the following
to say: mo- withstanding the ru-
mors of unusually heavy losses in
range cattle, everything now points
OF an output of fat cattle from the
plains and great grazing areas of the
Northwest next Fall that will equal,
If it does not excel, all previous yields.
In this country there is hardly a pos
sibility of any falling off in the best
supply, but every probability that
it will be increased. The terrible
sufferings and wholesale sacrifice of
stock by the unusual rigors Of Winter
are purely imaginary, and Montana
will come to the front next season,
as che has in the past, with the
largest, best and highest-priced
beeves in the Eastern markets, and,
contrary to predictions by the un-
sophisticated, there will be more of
them.
Reports from Wyoming give no
indication of any lessoning of the
excellent quantity from that Terri
tory. Colorado will likewise mole
than hold her own in supplying the
public. while Texas ian hardly fail
70 do as we'll. To these established
meat-producing sources must be
added the lately developed and rap
idly increasing Territories Of Arizona
and New Mexico, so that the West,
Southwest and Northwest will, In all
probability, furnish more than their
usual quota of meat animals.
The great grain crops in the agri-
cultural countries OF the East and
South the past year havo likewise
contributed to the general increase
in prospect by affording cheap food
in abundance for fattening animals,
and on every hand the evidence
points to an increased supply of beef
next fall more than commensurate
with all probable demands, and q
consequent stand still, if not an &C.
tual falling off in prices. Beef-grow-
ers will take into consider.t ton all
these actual conditions, and not
expect a "bcom" in prices, but be
satisfied If a steady, healthy tone In
the market Is sustained for their
PRODUCT

THE OREGON LEGISLATURE,

The Oregon legislature adjourned
without electing a United States sem
ator In place Of Slater (Dem.) whose
term expires the 4th of next month.
This unlocked for action on the part
of that body was caused by the de-
termination of Republican members
from the country not to vote for any
candidate from Portland, and as
Hirsch, the Republican caucus nom
inee, hailed from that city the Re-
publican minority would not support
him. This outcome Of the forty days
struggle to elect u senator is most
humiliating to the Republicans of
the State. They have probably lost
the opportunity to elect q Republican
to succeed Slater, as the Democrats
are confident that the next legislature
will be Democratic and that q Demo-
crat will be then elected.
Opinion seems to be divided as to
the power of the Governor to appoint.
Many hold that under the constltn-
ton of the State he cannot ap-
point only in case of a vacancy caused
by the death or resignation Of the In
oumbent. In the present instance
the vacancy results from the failure
Of the legislature to elect. And this
failure was not due to the action of
Democrats but Is wholly chargeabIe
to the factional spirit existing among
the Republicans Of that body, All
Of which forcibly illustrates the truth
Of the aphorism: "Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad"
The Democrats of Oregon are to be
congratulated. They have still an.
other opportunity left them to re-
deem the State In the election of q
member to the upper house Of Con-
gress- They will doubtless profit by
1t.

Singular Iucidelut

LONDON, Feb. 23.-One of the most
singular incidents ever connected
with the execution or attempted exc
cution of a murderer, happened to-
day at Exeter, on the occasion of
carrying out the death sentence
passed upon John Lee, recently con-
demned to be hanged for the murder
OF Miss Emma A. w. Keys, at Bah
lacombe, near Torquay. This is now
the last Of three attempts made to
execute Lee, but each attempt was
futile, the drop failing to work sue
cessfuI)y. The execution is conse
quently postponed. The details of
the futile attempts to hang Lee make
the case the most horrible that ever
disgraced the gibbet in England. At
first Lee Was perftc ly firm, and
went to the scaffol i undannted.
When the first attempt to hang INN
failed the prisoners spirits remained
unbroken. He was led from under
the galloWs and walked back Is ii,
cell wi b q firm ster. Whzn tir.
placed upon the trap he resigned
himself completely. but firmly, into
the hands OF the executioner. He
stood motion,es IS during the pre!ini-
nary proceedings, aud when the
moose Was placed and the spring was
about to be touched, he made an ap-
parent effort to adjust his body to the
expected drop. so death might
be Is quick as possible.
When the murderer was made to
realize that the gibbet had not done
its work and he was not yet hanged,
he appeared to start as if from a
nightmare, but quickly recov cred
himself. The machinery was then
carefully Overhauled and the wood
work found swollen 80 that the tran
refused to work. After being oiled
and tried until it was thought to be
all right, the prisoner was again
brought forth and the same scene as
before then enacted. Once again was
the wretched man led away and the
trap a second time examined and
oiled fer the second time, pronounced
all right, and for a t..ird time lie
took his stand upon the trap and the
third time did the gibbet refuse to do
its work.
The strain and suspense O over
taxed Lee. He sank down In a swoon
and he had to be carried away from
the place. No words can give an
adequate idea of the palnfulness of
the scene. A kind of overpowerinp
dismay, like that of superstition
seemed to have got control of the
sherlH's officers and the gallows
were deserted and no one made any
more attempts to put it in WORKING
order. The man that was to have
feen hanged was limp, motioniess
and in the most pitiabIe condition.
lying In his prison cell dazad and
stupeded and physically exhausted.
The Sheriff decided to abandon bis
TASK: He closed up the execution
yard and Went down to the p%ostoffce
and telegraphed Sir William Vernon

lulI history OF the horrible failure to |
execute Lee and asked for instrn"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Randall

ana instructing the committee on
foreign affairs 70 inquire into and re-
port whether the interests Of the
United States do not require the
adoption of q like discrimination on

received by telegraph from the an
nual encampment Of the Grand Army
of the Republic, now in session In
San Francisco, praying for the i'm
mediate passage by congress of the
bill to place General Grant on the
retired list. The petition was, under
the rule, laid on the table, the senate

into committee of the whole for the

Gated.

port Of The proposition to increase the

ministration and the prestige of re-
storing the pavy to Its former glory
attached Itself to that administration.
