JOURNALS AND JOURNALISTS,

North Bend, Nebraska, has a new paper,
the F7aH.
The Helena Independent is discussing the
antiquity of polled cattle.
The Yellowstone Journal has a fat take
in the shape of a delinquent tax list that
occupies nearly five columns of it's space.
Col. Hyde, one OF the most genial and
affable OF men, managing editor Of the
Missouri Republican,, one OF the staunchest
Democratic papers in the country, has gone
to France, on a leave of absence.
A good motto for a newspaper may be
drawn from Shakespeare:
Of entrance to a quarrel; but. being in,
Beart that the opposed may beware of thee"
Moses Dow, the founder OF the Waverly
Magazine, is still living, though old and
very feeble. He is a genial man, but greatly
matter printed in the magazine is paid for,
and it's profits are said to be 100000 a
year.
The reporters, writer's and editors at
Winnipeg, Manitoba, were summoned be-
fore the Police Court for violating the Sab
bath, by getting out a paper on that day
of the week, containing the latest news re-
garding the Riel cebellion. Very moral
country, that Manitoba.
The Evening Journal, OF Jefferson City,
Mo-, is set up by convicts. We don't know
much about the code of morals prevalent
in that section, but if public patronage
makes the venture a success, there can be
only one inference-that the status of the
convict and the status OF the citizen is not
divided by a very wide gulf.
The Livingston Enterprise says: GA. T.
Packard, editor of the Bad Lands Cowboy,
at Little Missouri, was married o N Wednes-
day OF last week to Miss Jane F. Hayford,
at Oberlin, Ohio, the BRIDES residence. Mr..
Packard was formerly a student at Oberlin
college, when, presumably, the attachment
for his present wife was formed. He is a
very worthy young gentleman and the
Enterprise congratulates him."
The employees OF the New York Stats
Zeitung, to the number Of n hundred and
fifty, have received a dividend amounting
to ten per cent. OF their yearly earnings.
| None are benefited by this except those

The best of all of Governor Eaton's ap-

telligent, experienced and first-class Jour-

made the Denver Republican a possibility

The appointment OF George w. Julia to
the position OF Surveyor General OF New
Mexico is one of the best nominations the
President has yet made. Mr.. Julian mas
earned the place by long party service and
party fealty. He is a man OF education
and intellectually qualified for the position.
Above all things, he is honest and abso-
lately above suspicion. The office to which
ne has been appointed is one OF the most
Important in the country and probably
none other has been so corruptly admins
tered. No Territory has been so overrun
with land pirates and mining sharks as
New Mexico. twas for years governed by
d ring, the most corrupt jobbers IN the
west, and Mr.. Julian is just the man to
uhearth the frauds committed by these
Fellows and to prevent allfuture raids upof
The public domain.

A SUBSCRIBER sends us the following: "ln
your notice this morning Of Sam Jones the
revivalist at Nashville, you state that he is
illiterate, which l think is a mistake, as l
have heard it stated that he is a graduate
of Yale, and a former successful lawyer. l
have heard him quite often, n testify to
his wonderful originality and perfect sim
plicity yet logical power. He occasionally
makes use of the common talk apparently
to Illustrate the subject better, but some OF
his sermon are entirely free from it. Ii he
could be induced to come here think he
would accomplish more than any other iv-
ing ~reviyalist." We gladly make room for
this information. We have no knowledge
of Mr.. Jones' antecedents: and know OF
him only by the reports that have reached
us through the Louisville newspapers,
which all show that he uses ungrammatical
but ~forceful language, and that his Smiles
are rather more unique than elegant. Ii
Mr.. Jones can be secured for a season OF
labor in Butte an effort should be made in
that direction. Our solicitude is solely in
the interest of our evening contemporary,
which is sadly in need OF saving grace.

WHAr the silver men need particularly 10
q strong daily newspaper in Washington or
New York. Unexpectedly, however, cham
pions OF bi-metallism are springing up all
over the country, each doing something to-
ward crushing out the conspiracy entered
into by the national banks and bondhold-
ers of the East and Of Europe for the pur-
pose OF demonetizing silver. The fight
against silver is Just being appreciated by
the honest people Of the country. The
Chicago Current, one OF the leading publica-
tions of the country, has boldly come out
in favor of the withdrawal. OF the green
backs and national bank notes OF small de-
nominations and substituting therefor sill
yer certificates. 1t says: "Aleading banker
of Chicago suggests that there should be no
bank notes under SO; that SIS silver certifi-
Gates be issued; that SIS, OO0, 900 OF bonds
be Immediately called and paid for in new
legal tender notes OF large sizes; and that
the mere absence OF the small bills would
solve the silver difficulty. The only oblec-
tion to this plan is the danger inseparable
from any new issue of greenbacks. The
power given to Congress OF printing fiat
money is q portentious one, and war alone
should justify it, but the idea OF a wider
metallic currency is wise, and well worthy
of investigation and trial. Our silver dol
for use. Ere long the sweaters will begin
to work on it. In Englandth the w~orkingman
never sees paper money the $25-bill is the
smallest note. Practically a goldbug
money is operated on a silver basis, with
half-dollars (half-crowns-66h cents) circu-
lating as the largest common working coin.
They call it, over there, a monometallic
currency; that is an error or a lie, just as
the student may choose to brand it. A
good solution of the American currency
question might be reached by the printing
of these five-dollar silver certificates; by
making half-dollars a full legal tender, and,
just as our esteemed correspondent suggests,
by calling in the vast mass OF our smaller
bank-notes, which spread disease, and act
against the interests Of silver-thercfore
threatening the people. Let everybody re-
member that there is no single coin stand
ard possible unless it be a silver. standard.
The gold currency in London is a lie, for
the w~orkingmen, the million, carry half
crowns, %florins, shillings, and %six-penny
pieces. Gold never was used for anything
but a hoard, and of all things which per-
pick, obstruct and defy Industrious men,
boards of the currency are usually the vilest
and least excusable from either public Or
private grounds"

an honest, intelligent and capable man;
that he will make a good Marshal and deaI

recall that Lincoln, Grant, Hayes or Gar

HE resignation of the Gladstone Ministry

world, though had it happened a month
ago 1t would not have occasioned much
comment. The grandest old statesman OF
Europe has succumbcd to the voice OF
popular prejudice, at the very moment
"hen 1T appeared as if he had won a great
moral victory. Mr.. Gladstone and his
ministry were welded to the policy OF peace
while the whole nation clamored for
war. The return OF Sir Peter Lumsden, full

people and the ministry could no longer

THOSE COUNTY %

The Inter Mountain Of last evening says
When the Commissioners get through with
their present investigations let them continue
the good work by looking up the matter Of the
contract made some years ago in regard to the
purchase of the county books. A little CORE
spondence with Chicago book manufacturer
may result in some interesting Developments.
Chicago book makers are a hard let. In the "A
guare of our esteemed contemporary, THE Ml>Ak,
"surn the rascals out"
By all means look into this matter. 1t
may be one of very grave Importance.
The MINER furnished those books and is
anxious that the investigation should be
made. Uncover the rascals and "turn
them out"
We want to make a prohecy: If the in
vestigation is made and thoroughly made,
it will be found chat the county received it's
books and other supplies at that time at a
price at least 25 per cent. less than the
same articles are now furnished. By all
means, let vs. have IN investigation.

CHICAGO has erected a handsome and
costly court house only to find that the
stone of which it is built is not OF a durable
character and is already disintegrating.
The building is going to pieces at an alarm
ing rate and all sorts of representative pro-
~cesses" have been resorted to, but so far
without any beneficial results. 1t would
have been much cheaper to have thor
oughly tested the material before the build
ing was erected, but public officials often
know more than men OF science-in their
own estimation. Chicago is not the only
city that has suffered through the ignorance
of officials.

THE English situation is unchanged. L

The English situation is unchanged. The
resignation of Mr.. Gladstone has not yet
been accepted, and it may he that the
Oueen will decide it inexpedient to do so at
this crisis. The press is divided upon the
question, the News, a liberal organ, being
violent, in it's demand for the ministry to
resign in order that the Tory i~ncapacltyfor
rule might be demonstrated, while the
Times, conservative always, strongly urges
Mr. Gladstone to reconsider his action.
Standard does not believe that the
Queen will accept the resignation OF the
ministry. In Germany and in other dlplo-
matte circles it is believed thatthe occasion
for the resignation was forced by Mr.. Glad
stone in consequence OF the failure in their
mission of the English Governments secret
ors to Berlin. Continental Europe
is as much befogged and bewildered upon the
question as we are upon this side OF the
Atlantic.

"THE vultures OF cremation" says the
New York Mail and Express, is a term re-
ceived with appreciation in the convention
of undertakers, and it is surmised that re-
luctance to see a reduction of funeral ex-
penses is the secret OF their opposition to
cremation. Embalming is recommended
by them to "snatch" the human bodyfrom
the "vultures," but among sensible people
it seems desirable to lave the bodies of the
dead rapidly resolved into their original
dust, and as the speediest and most clearly
agent to accomplish that result cremation
is steadily winning favor

Holt recently increased the population OF
Butte by three. Grateful citizens, to show
their appreciation of Mrs. Hollis efforts,
have arranged for. a benefit performance

The strike on the Denver & Rio Grande
Railway has evidently come to an end. and
the Associated Press heralds the fact as a
victory for Receiver Jackson. The strike
was ill-advised and badly managed, but
the result was not a victory for the COM
pany. It proved futile simply because the
property is in the hands of the United
States courts, and the decided and some
what arbitrary stand taken by Judge Hal
lett. The principlef for which the men fought,
the principle that men should be free in the
exercise of their political rights, remains,
and the fight will be fought again and be
won eventually.

THAT CASE

~ -
A person signing himself &C. W. Clark,
Nd publishes a communication in last
evenings Inter Mountain in contradiction
ola local which appeared in yesterdays
MINER in relation to smallpox cases. He
says: "First-The person alluded to as
dying a mysterious death, came here from
LeadviIle where he had been drinking the
water from one Of the galena mines until
his system was thoroughly saturated with
the lead poison. In addition he wal af-
filcted with kidney disease. Laryngitis set
IN and soon carried him off. There was
nothing mysterious about his DEATH" Thu
writer has seen a great many people die
from lead poisoning, but he has never seen
a case in which the patient had broken out
like a smallpox patient and whose body
became SO corrupt within aday as to shock
an experienced nurse. Will "Dr." Clark
produce an authority showing that erup-
lions are among the symptoms Of lead
poisoning? Can he produce a single repu-
table physician in Butte who will say that?
Does "Dr." Clark mean to gay, too, that a
man can be ''leaded" by ''drinkingth the water
from one OF the galena minee?" This is the
sheerest nonsense or the densest ignorance,
besides people at Leadville do n o
drink such water. We nave lived there.
The man in question was full of p~ustules
and those who saw him-and they are men
OF experience in such matters-do not hest
tate to say that he died of smallpox.
The MINER has no desire to create a
panic on this subject. 1t isn't necessary to
do SO, though we do not mean to keep
silent and permit the disease to spread, as
has been the case in other places. The
MINER has no desire to alarm the people
needlessly, but both the people and the
authorities need to be awakened to the
presence OF the disease, and the necessity Of
guarding against it's contagious character.
There was nothing in our local article OF
yesterday to arouse the Doctors ire or to
cause him to rush into print. We simply
made a plain statement OF fact, did not
call the physicians diagnosisinto question,
and treated the case very mildly. DR.. Clark
must feel uneasy about the matter, or he
would not be SO thin-skinned.
By the way, what medical college granted
C. ". Clark the title of IN. d." which he
SO ostentatiously afixe to his name?
