The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-06-03

A WASHINGTON special says Senator Vest
has at last got the Yellowstone National
Park just where he wants it. For years he
has been fighting to have the park cleared
of the pensioners who rave been quartered
there and get a capable and honest man APP
pointed to take care OF the game and the
wonderful natural beauties Of the region.
Anew days ago he secured the appointment
Old. W. Ware of st. Louis, as superintendent
OF the park, and he isdecidedly happy over
the result, Ware is a sharp broker and a
dyspeptic, misanthropic man. His inherent
ugliness is regarded as an excellent gnaran-
tee for the preservation OF the park us ma
ture left it.. The appointment will
throw eleven men out of employment.
Among them is d brother of Congressman
Conner, a brother-in-law of Senator Logan
and a nephew OF Senator, Sawyer, of Wis
c%onsin; a nephew OF Senator Conger, of
Michigan; a brother OF Congressman Hen
derson, of Iowa, and a relative of Hamilton
Fish, of New York. No matter how ugly,
how misanthropic, how dyspeptic, Mr..
Ware can be no worse thai his predces-
sor. A good cleaning out OF the nest OF
useless hangers-on will do a world of good
in the park.

SuNA
III connection with the diplomatic service,
a fact that has occasioned much comment.
Senator Vest is to-day the great orator of
the party; the natural leader of the Democ-
racy in the Senate. Hence the invidious
comments upon the so-callcd "nepotism.,
1t is well that the circumstances leading to
the appointment be made known to the
world, in order to show in how far the great
statesman from Missouri is responsible. In
a recent interview he said: Gas to my sons
appointment as consular clerk, it was not
OF my doing at all. He was on the Yellow
stone expedition with President Arthur.
He is a good rider, a fine marksman and an
expert fisherman. Mr.. Arthur took a fancy
to him and wanted to put him
in the army as a Second Lieu
tenant. l advised the boy not to
go into the business of drinking bad whisky
on frontier posts. He finally gave it up.
One day at the White House Mr.. Arthur
spoke OF the boy to me, and OF his admira-
ton for him, and asked me why l didn't
send him abroad. l made some reply indi-
eating the lack of cash for such an invest
ment. The President said he would like to
make him a Consular Clerk. | objected to
it. But a few days after, Mr.. Davis sent
me word that the President had appointed
him. This is the extent of my nepotism."

SAYS the Virginia CITY NadisOaian:

The Pres dent has appointed W.. D.. Ware OF
Mis- ouri, Superintendent of the National Park.
in the place of +. Carpenter, removed. We have
no knowledge of Mr.. Ware or his qualifica'i'ns:
but It seems to Us that if any one Office should tie
filed bya Montanian, it is this. There are scores of
men in this Territory whose fami iarity with The
Park gives them ges for the p siiion " ich
no nonresident can have. The trOlble with all
former Suferin.eudeDts has been that it has taken
them the greater part of the first season to become
acquainted with the requirements Of their place.
We hope Mr.. Ware will succeed better than his
predecessors have done, but should have greatly
preferred the carrying out of Mr.. Clevelan is al
leg. d determination to appoint men to territorial
offices in this instance.
The office of Superintendent Of the Ma
tidlal Park is not a Territorial office any
more than the Commissionership of the
District OF Columbia is. The Park is a
United States Reservation; and if it were
not, it would belong fully as much to Wyo-
ming as to Montana. Again, IL local man
would have animosities and prcjndiccs and
friends that would be most likely to create
d%issensions and troubles from the outside.
The affairs OF the Park nave been badly
mismanaged, if not corruptly administered,
and a clean sweep was absolutel.y necessary.
The gentleman selected for the place is in
every way qualified to fill it. He is a thor
ough business man, and Il man OF intelIf-
gence and OF artistic culture. The MINER
does not believe that the President could
have made a better choice.

THE Democracy Of Colorado seems to be
hopelessly divided. The scramble Tor Office
from that state has been disgraceful, but
the fact remains that the men who have
really been the Democratic party d the
! state have had no hand in the fight. The
MINER does not mestn to ignore the party
| fealty and eonsistence to principles OF such
| men as Bella Al. Hughes and Gen. SAM.
| Browne, when it says that for more than
d decade the Hon. Thomas II. Patterson
| has beer the head and front of the party
in the state. He is Il mar OF brains, ci
| superior character, OF true principles. He
is the most eloquent man in his party, and
| the only one who has stood ready to
sacrifice position, influence and means
to the success OF his party then
in a hopeless minority. He has cssa'
been to the front. stood the bruz.tt Of battle
and almost invariably paid tie expenses.
No man in the State stands higher as To
character or mental worth than Mr. Pat
tersoa. He has never sought office for HIM
self. save when forced to the front by his
party, when no one else was ''willing to
SGtiIlu uib To it liOthsN NIoNi:. ~ oA.'
victories ever won by the party int.ieStafa
were won under his leadership. It.siieuteE-
ants were men like james B. Grant, eS-
Governor; Dennis Sullivan, Alva Adams,
Charles S. Thomas, Affair Wilson, and I,
host OF Others who have smaintaineti
Democratic principles and freely gave cf
their means, time and influence to the sue
cess OF the men who represented those prin-
ciples upon the party ticket. 1t is claimed,
by a coterie OF bankrupt, time-serving and
cheap politicians, like Harley B. Morse,
Guy Thompson and others, that
this man and his associates have
forfeited recognition from the admin
istsation because they happened to Edo
the application for a consulship OF one DIR.
Meiere, who subsequently, made an ass OF
himself. Men who know aught Of politics
will laugh at such a charge. All men are
liable to be deceived and liable to err in
Judgment, but that Mr.. Patterson or his
friends would knowingly or willingl.y'feco
mend a bad man to Office no one acquainted
with them will believe. Up here in Mon
tana, where the party has no contentious,
the Colorado SITUATION mas no IntefeStSdNt
the interest OF party unity and party sue
cess. And we feel sure that the President.
will, in his usually judicious manner cut the
Gordian knot in Colorado just right, by
recognizing the men who have given the
country what there is OF the Democratic
party OF Colorado. Mr.. Patterson and his
friends have never ''kicked;" they have
not been barnacles upon the party, but
they have been earnest, active and agrees
sive workers for party success. The abuse
heaped upon them by the Republican press
and the auasi-endorsement given their
cheap and boisterous and characterless OPP
ponents by the same press should be suffi-
Gent to determine the course of the admin
istratiOn.

THE MINER has a desire to publish all
the news of local interest, but it has do de-
sire to violate any of the laws OF etiquette
that obtain in decent society. The at
taches of THE MINER will not go where they
are not wanted. The test OF that question
will be an invitation or no invitation.
The reporters of this paper get three square
meals a day and can forego IA meal at a
Church festival; they can do without Il
plate of ice cream or Il sickiy stew of
oysters; they arenot pining away for dish
Strawberries, nor are they dying for ii
dance. They are anxious to go to all
these schemes of money making, not
for what they can get for their personal en-
joyment, but for the news they may find
there; they mean to give a quid pro quo; if
they do not receive an Invitation, they willin
the future believe that they are not wanted.
All invitations should be made in the name
of THE MINER and not to any particular
person in the Office or upon the staff. This
rule will be adhered to in the matter of
weddings, balls, festivals, parties, sociablcs,
singing societies and all sorts OF public
gatherings that expect to receive notices en
large. So far as THE MINER is concerned it
will be invited or it will not come.

TIM EaeinSns 1s Journal has
Joined the ranks 81 the sgosd bugs Inits
issue for May 90, II says: 1.-THE silver
question Is becoming more and moresrave.
The gold reserve Of the Government Is
steadily declining, and silver is taking its
place. How long this can continue with
out producing q run on gold or . premium
upon it, is simply q question Of time.
Whenever this does take place, gold will go
out of circulation and silver will take it's
place. This would be a calamity whose far
reaching consequence can scarcely be com-
puted or exaggerated, and it's effect would
by no means benefit our silver mines, as
some seem to think. The National Com
mercial Convention, now sitting in Atlanta,
Georgia, voted against the continued COIN
age of silver. It wal noticeable that the
delegates of the Southern States, formerly
in favor Of the present silver coinage law,
very generally oppose it now. The danger
is becoming apparent to all business men,
and the law will, no doubt, be changed at
the next sitting of Congress in December.
Let us hope the danger now hanging over
us may not fall upon our already sorely
tried industries before that date" Sup
pose that the Secretary of the Treasury
should withdraw from his conspiracy with
the gold men and instead Of paying in gold
only through the sub-treasury at New York
to the New York clearance house, as is now
done, he should pay in the legitimate coin
of the country-gold and silver-wouldn't
there soon be a change? Isn't the toady-
ing OF the Government in this matter to
the gold bugs the cause of the "accumula-
ion" Of silver, and doesn't this course
make the more sure the boarding OF gold?
As to the Atlanta convention, the delegate
from Colorado says it did not represent
the sentiments of the people OF the South,
but hat it was packed by Eastern gold
men, who controlled it. There has been no
change in the South upon this subject. The
silver producers can not fail to see the signs
of the impending a They will have to
grid up their loins and prepare orthe fight.
The Journal has never been the true friend
OF the miners. 1t has been a speculative
journal, issued in the interests of the pub
fishers and no one will be surprised to see
it take up the fight of the gold men.

"ThE Parnell party" says a writer in
the New York World, has put forward it's
programme, which is to c~oalesce with the
Liberals in the North Of Ireland to put
down the Tories. and to c~oalesce with the
Tories in England to defeat the Liberals.
But there must be two parties to q con-
tract. This programme cannot be carried
out, either in Ireland Or England. When
the English portion OF it was attempted to
be carried out at the last election at Liver
pool, where the Irish party supported the
Tory candidate, it created such a feeling OF
--A-> .aodnratn
Conservatives voted for the Liberal, and
the Liberal was returned for the first time
in many years in that town. And the
dynamite outrages have created such an
anti-1rish feeling that any attempt of the
kind is certain to lave a similar result with
every constituency in England. In Ireland,
the return of Sinclair by the Presbyterian
Liberals of Antrim by their sole unaided
strength, the first Liberal for many years,
is full of significance. The same Presby-
terrain party, which in the extreme northern
counties includes the majority OF the small
farmers, carried Londonderry against the
parnellites and Tories combined, and went
very close on carrying Down."

The Eagle Rock Qdaho) Register is de.

The number of newspaper stamps re-
CURED for the fiscal year just passed was

4. j. Hale, editor Of the Fayetteville
(N. C.) Observer, has received the appoint

The Salt Lake Owl is the latest Journal
istic venture, and is published by Messrs.
Prescott Il Edsell, two Chronicle typos. It
is evidently intended to fill the field made
vacant by the demise OF the Referee.
Clarence NJ. Barton. formerly managing
editor OF the National Republican at WASH
ington, who figured in the Soteldo shooting
scrape, is at present attached to the edi-
torial staff OF the Philadelphia Daily News.
The Deer Lodge New North Hest says
az. O. Leonard, OF the Anaconda Review,
who participated in the High School exer-
cises last Thursday evening, is said, by our
best Judges, to have the fines bass voice
ever heard in Deer Lodge"
John II. Putnam, OF Chillicothe, Ohio,
who goes to Honolulu as Consul, has
served in both branches of the legislature,
was Governor Aliens private secretary,
and is a prominent politician and editor.
He edited the Ohio Statesman, and after
wards owned the Columbus Times. Hehas
been popularity known as Senator Pendle-
tons right-hand man.
The reports concerning the death of Jack
Gilbert, a whilom Philadelphia journalist,
and well known throughout the country,
are not true. TIL last number of the Jour
naIist y "John Gilbert, ofthe Journal,
has signed contracts to appear in English
opera for two years. His success in Phila-
delphia was marked. He was repeatedly
called before the curtain and warmly ap-
plauded.'
Says the New York Sun: '"This must be
the dull time OF the year, for we see in the
the usual talk about the estab-
lishment OF a professorship OF journalism
in some college. The best professorship OF
journalism is to be found in any fir~st-rate
newspaper Office. The late DIR. Greeley used
to say that no man could become a first
rate editor who had not eaten printers ink
and slept on newspapers" There's solid
wisdom from the chief light OF the profess
sion.
The Boston journal crowds a great deal
OF truth into a very small compass in the
following: "Few people who are not upon
the inside OF secular journalism have TN
adequate idea OF the amount of conscience
and right purpose which are put into that
work. The critical test of the editor is not
so much what he prints as what he does
not print. The reader is aware OF what
goes into the paper; he has no idea of what
is kept out-and kept out with a steady
moral purpose, and sometimes at a heavy
