IT is very greatlyt to the credit OF the Irish
people that among the Mormons there is a
less number ofIrish descent than ofany other
nationality. Out of eight hundred who ar
rived in New York a few days ago, there
was only one roman OF Irish birth. 1t may
be that the pure air OF Ireland prevents the
good women OF that land from being inocu-
lated with this awful moral leprosy which
is tolerated and permitted to flourish in
this moral land Of the free. 1t may be the
sacred and sanity influences OF the great
church OF St. Peter that shields and pro-
tects them. Both have, nc doubt. their
value, but it is the holy, ne'er-to-be-forgot-
ten affectionate and devoted Irish mother
who hovers through life DER the Irish lass
and has made for the women of the Emerald
Isle a reputation for womanly honor and
virtue not equalled by those OF any other
nationality upon the face OF the earth.
God bless the Irish mother and make her
beautiful devotion an example to all the
world.

SPEAKING OF tho copper market in their
last circular, Mathews & Webb say:
Cooper has at length been the theater OF
action, that has been SO long expected, and
the pool sale that has been impending for a
month has eventuated in favor ofthe manu-
iacturers, who have secured about 10000
900 pounds at II cents for September, Oc-
tober, November and December. Thu effect
has been rather to steady values, and since
then Lake has been sold at TX to 11kc.,
and the various outside brands at lOa up
to 1OHc. at New York. 1t appears that the
Government statistician places the export
OF crude copper during the fiscal year end
ing recently at 4O,650,OOO pounds, as
against about one-third Of the amount
during the year previous. At London
prices have ranged fairly steady, but with
the tendency rather downward, namely
f42 12s. Sd. for Chill bars, to f42
S.. with best selected firm at f4S." They
quote PIPER in ores at soc to 81 for each
per cent, dry assay; smelling charges from
Sc to $50, with this addendum: "Being
now in position to dispose OF ores assaying
high in copper with little silver and gold,
will be pleased to receive c~onsignments OF
for which we guarantee the highest
market rates."

THE PIPESTONE PASS.

A gentleman who is thoroughly familiar
with the country and who some years ago
made a preliminary survey for a railway
from Gallatin to Garrison, over the Pipe
stone Pass, assures us hat the route is
entirely practicable and is the one that the
Northern Pacific should have originally
adopted. The distance is about the same
as by way of Mullen Pass, and at no point
is the grade heavier and always free from
snow, from which source the road now
suffers much annoyance. He estimates the
cost OF the line at 50, 1000, OO0-$1 SOC, 1000
from Gallatin to Butte, and 100000
from Butte to Garrison. The approach to
the mountain would be almost on the
level. Over the mountain there would be
a maximum grade. OF 1l6 feet. The grade
from the mountain to Butte will average
about 25 feet to the mile. Hence to
Garrison there would be a steady descent,
a maximum grade of 60 feet through the
canyon and 30 to 40 feet through the
valley.
These grades are not heavy and thor
oughly practicable. The grade over the
mountain is about the same as that OF the
other trans-continental roads and only
about SO per cent. of that of the Rio Grande
Railroad over Marshall Pass. The cost of
construction is not excessive and not nearly
as high as the cost Of the present route.
The absence of snow would enableits cheap
operation at all seasons OF the year and
save costly sn%ow-shedding and snow guards.
This route would secure a large local
business from the very outset. 1t would
open up the Gallatin Valley, the produce
and lumber of the Missoula region, the vast
resources OF Jefferson county; it would
give Virginia City a revival OF life, and give
the Boulder Valley a much needed outlet.
Taking no consideration Of the vast bust
ness OF Butte, the reaching of which would
he the real object of the road, the local
business of this line would pay largely upon
the investment. Butte has ~envious eyes
upon the timber lands and the green fields
of Missoula, and the mining sections that
would be tapped need only the stimulus Of
a railway to fan them into active life. The
Northern Pacific management, once they
determine to come into Butte, should give
this route more serious considerat ion than
they did when the road was originally built.
1t has many advantages to recommend it
and there is nothing to argue against it.

THE Helena Herald a y the Pipestone
Pass route is entirely impracticable for a
railway. We fear that the wish is father
to the thought with the Herald. Our infor-
nation upon the subject has been obtained
from a person who surveyed the route for
railroad purposes, one who is an engineer
OF acknowledged ability and who knows
whereof he speaks. There is no guess
work" about it. His figures were derived
from actual surveys and his report is, or
ought to be, on file in the office OF the Chief
Engineer OF the Northern Pacific Railroad.
He will make Il further test OF the eleva-
tions in a short time and The MINER is
promised the result. We trust that the
Herald will be prepared to analyze to its
own satisfaction the figures thus obtained
by actual survey.

I'm, f,llouin1 Lind enithats were

THE following kind epithets were last
evening applied by our amiablc and distem-
pcred neighbor, the Inter Mountain, to a
contemporary that conducts it's affairs in
it's own way and has an abiding faith in it's
ability to do it: IA malicious slanderer
with the independence of a Gagged buzzard,
the nerve of a mouse, the decency OF a
hyena, the brains OF an oyster aud the en-
terprize of a lizard" 1t is sorrowful to
contemplate the condition the youth must
have been in when he got through with the
sentence of which this is only about one
third. He was frothing at the mouth. blood
oozed from his pores and hate and envy
flashed from his green eyes. He felt that he
had fully unbottled the phial OF his wrath
and lone the subject justice. The startling
effect the paragraph would have upon the
community alone interested him. "And
they wrote him down rs an ass" We are
grieved to the soul to see that our contem-
porary has not better proited oy the beau
tiful counsel OF Brother Hendry in his ora
ton at the Press Association. We COM
mend a careful reading of that production
to the Inter Mountain. II that is too great
IL task to ask of it, then we wonld suggest
that it attend, for just a brief season, to it's
Own business. It will find the novelty OF
such q course amusing.

SAYS the San Francisco Chronicle: 1.-THE
Mormons lave started in again on the foul
practice OF throwing jars filled with excre-
ment into the house of the law officers,
who are active in securing the punishment
OF polygamists. Such revenge as this could
occur only to very flthy-minded men, and
would be tolerated in no other community
in the world. 1t is commended by the Nor
mons that this outrage was p~erpetrated by
Gentiles, in order to bring odium on the
Church, but this excuse is a lame one, since
the trick has long been practiced by the
p~olygamists. About seven years ago some
prominent Mormons attacked in this way
an ap~ostate, while he was walking with his
wife on one of the principal streets OF Salt
Lake City. He escaped the %stinkpot, but
his wife was covered with the filth. These
recent outrages furnish a good specimen OF
the brutalizing influences OF polygamy, and
one OF the results will be to open the eyes
OF many people to the e%normity OF the Of
tense OF the Mormopsin deiying law, morals
and decency, as they have done for years."

The winning OF the yacht race by the
puritan" in two straight heats, so to
speak, will create a revolution in yacht
building, to conform with the narrow, trim
like hull OF the little New England vessel.
The test was the most severe that could
possibly have been applied-the first victory
having been won on a comparatively calm
day and the second when a strong gale was
blowing. The claim of sh~arp-practice can
not, OF course, be successfully maintained
against the "Puritan;" holding the wind
ward position, she had an u%ndoubted right
to bear down upon the "Genesta " in order
to make the light ship. The race was fairly
and honorably won and the cup remain in
America.

ALMOST every act OF the Mormon leaders
evidences the hostility Of that church, as
an organization, to the Government OF the
United States. In a recent speech in Lon
don, Penrose, the editor OF the Deseret
News, now a fugitive from justice because
of a violation of the laws OF the land, said
that eventually, Gin it's contest with the
United States" the church would "be VIC
~torious." Now, Penrose is a man OF intel
hgcnce, who knows that the United States
Supreme Court is the court of last resort
and the only body competent to construe
the Constitution; he knows that it's decision
is final and absolute. In the face OF this,
he calmly informs the world thatthe Saints
mean to override the laws and to set them
at defiance. The spirit OF disloyalty shown
in this speech by this escaped criminal per-
vades the entire Mormon Church. 1t is
not only a moral monstrosity, inimical to
the morals OF the country, but it is a bee
hive of traitors, constantly teaching land
practicing when they dare) ~disloyalty TO
the Government, and should be wiped from
the face of the earth.

WATCH THE BIG THIEVES.

The more the massacre at Rock Springs
that the agents and subordinates OF the
| railway company Disseminated against
+! the white laborer and in favor of the Mon
| golian. 1t is also made to appear very
! clearly that a system of petty thieving and
OF bribe-giving and receiving prevailed
| about the mines, all to the detriment of the
] free laborer. While the crimes enacted are
not to be justified or extenuated upon any
| plea, it is evident that the white miners
received great provocation and were
goaded to the point OF desperation. They
had to do some overt act to attract
| official attention or else leave the field to
the Chinese. They had long brooded over
their troubles; they say want staring them
in the face; their homes going at a sacri-
flee; their wives and children in distress.
The powder train had been long laid; it
! neededed but a match to set it off. This
came by taking from q white miner a
profitable room and assigning it-for a con-
sideration, it is charged-to two Chinese
miners. The men, already intlamed and
goaded almost beyond endurance, gave
reins to their passion and the rusult is
known. While these facts do not constitute
a Justification of the brutalities enacted,
they serve to point a moral: That it is
dangerous for corporations to try human
endurance to the breaking point. There is
a point where death is preferable to life,
and that point, it appears, had been
reached by the poor miners of o Springs.
1t is only fair to say that the Union Pacific
company-or it's President, at least-was
not c~ognizant OF the condition of affairs at
the mines. The management has, nodoubt,
learned some valuable lessons from it's in
vestigation into this affair, and one-beside
the one already quoted-should not be
lost upon the management: That a re-
duction in tr%ain-spotters could p%roftably
be made in order to assign a few bright
detectives to keep watch upon men in the
higher walks OF the business-on persons
who are in position to steal $50 Or 500
to a conductors 81, but who are too fire.
q~uently enormously believed to be honest.
Much good may flow from the great wrong,
after all.
