ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES.

There is still considerable talk in pol
itical circles about changes in the Cabinet
There is a rumor, that Don M. Dickin-
son, of Mich, is to succeed to the place OF
Attorney General Garland. 1t is thought
that the recent visit to the country of
Hon. Robt. NJ. McLane, our minister to
France, is connected with the Secretary
ship of the Treasury Department, and
that if, when Secretary Manning returns
he is compelled to tender his final re-
signation, Mr.. McLane may be his sue
cessor. The Treasury Department is very
ably managed at present by Assistant
Secretary Fairchild who is carrying out
many reforms that were commenced by
Secretary Manning. The clerical force
in the Sixth Auditors Division of this
department has been much reduced and
there will be still larger reduction on
the first of July. 1t was at first intended
to allow the dismissed clerks the fifteen
days due them up to the first ultimo, but
then it was thought that this time would
be occupied in efforts for reinstatement,
so, in order to prevent all annoyance
and bother, the dismissals and appoint
ments of successors will be made on the
same date. The Civil Service Commission
has furnished list of names with which
to fill the vacancies that will exist in the
Office on the first of July, so that the
Auditor will be able to say to all those
seeking reinstatement that the vacancies
have already beed filled The number
to be dismissed is thought to be twenty
six at present to which number more or
less will probably be added by the ex-
piration of the month.
Since Mr.. McConYille has been the
Sixth Auditor, there have been upward
ofeighty discharges in his Office and the
twenty six or more yet to be made will
bring the total up to over one hundred
and Ska third of the entire force.
This is by fas the best record of dismis-
sails yet made in the department

Reneal OF the Land Laws.

The bill repeating the presumption and
timber culture laws was taken up in the
senate on the oath inst. Mr.. George
addressed the senate on the bill. STAN
ford stated that the provisions OF the
bill, as amended by the senate, would
absolutely prevent the reclamation OF
desert lands. There were enormous
quantities of such lands, he said, not
worth a penny on the acre and they
could only be reclaimed by the paying
out of large sums of money in order to
make reclamation possible. He moved
to restore certain words already struck
out by the senate. Mr.. Plumb feared
the amendment might lead to fraud, and
opposed it. Mr.. Stanford's motion was
rejected. The bill then passed-yeas "a,
nays 20. On motion of Mr.. Dolph a
committee of conference was ordered on
the disagreeing votes of the house aud
senate on the bill.

Editorial Amenities.

Wednesday afternoon a man named
George Miller, of Anaconda, considering
himself wronged by the publication in
the Daily Miner Of letter from that
place concerning his daughter, who
eloped and was married in Butte by a
six-shooter accompaniment, went into
the Miner office and askep to see Editor
C. Zeigenfuss id private. At the head
of the stairs Miller pulled pistol, and
saving: "Ill fix you here" followed
the words by firing. Zeigenfuss threw
up his arm, the bullet entering the wall
over his shoulder. Zeigenfuss threw his
would-be murderer down stairs, falling
on top, almost crushing the life out OF
the Anaconda man, who was hustled
out of the office. He wvs arrested, but
the good-natured editor refused to
prosecute. We congratulate Mr.. Zeigen-
fuss upon his narrow escape; but regret
that he was not armed. that he might
then and there have perforated the
treacherous assassin.

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.

California is highly agitated over the
late decision of its supreme bench which
has decided that he cd English common
law relating to water rights is i'll full
force in that state. For many years Cal
ifornia has been exercised and perturbed
by this important question, which in
wolves the prosperity Of all its people
and affects every branch of industry in
that glorious state. The old English
law governing water right, which is still
in operation in England, provides that
streams not navigable belong to the land
through which they pass and all other
appropriations of water are dissolved.
This decision, is plain to be seen, al
though conscientiously and lawfully CIV
en-, will cause great injury to California
and every other western country where
irrigation is as essential as sunshine
itself We are not posted upon Mon
tana laws governing this important factor
of agriculture, but we will venture to say
that the law is loose and vulnerable and
that upon investigation it will be found
that it does not do completely away
with the old English law, which has
always been regarded and adopted as
fundamental. Our people should insist
that the next Montana legislature pro-
vide them with a stannch water right law,
a law that will be impregnable; law
that will provide for just and equitable
diversion of streams. We have the ex-
perience of California before us, and it is
well to take advantage of that example
and forever settle this vital question
beyond the shadow of future trouble
such as has disturbed California and
threatens her very life.

THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

The whole country is unqualifiedlv in
favor of congress adjourning, and of its
doing so at once, or at least as sooa as it
can finish up the necessary Hesitation.
With appropriation, pension and other
bills which simply occasion useless de.
bate, this body has for the past month
done nothing really meritorious or neces-
sary. The president has found himself
called upon to return fifteen pension bills
with his disapproval in one batch. He
said he didn't believe the vetoed bills
had ever been submitted to q majority OF
either, house, but were the result OF
nominal sessions held for the express
purpose of their consideration, and at
tended only by a snall minority of the
members For this reason, ne says, he
has not felt that he was aided in his
consideration of the bill by the deliber-
ate judgment Of congress.

How QuaIey was Killed.

From the Denver News we condense
the following account Of the distressing
accident which occurred at Como, and
by which Mr.. Thomas Qualey, superin-
tendent of the Union Pacific coal mines
at that place lost his life. Mr.. Qualey.
with a desire to assist his men in their
work, disposition which he always
manifested, was running a loaded car
down the incline onto switch, when
the brake broke and the car went over
the end of the incline. The next car
was in charge of Chinaman who proved
unable to manage it, and it also went
over the incline, falling upon Superin-
tendent Qualey, crushing him in fear
full manner and causing instant death.
A large number of men at once rushed
to the rescue, but their efforts, while
effectual in removing the cars at once,
proved unavailing In saving the life of
their much-loved superintendent.
Mr.. Qualey was one of the best-known
and most popular mining men in Colo
RADIO or Wyoming. He had sunk the
first shaft for coal at Carbon, Wyoming,
and for nine years had been in charge Of
the Union Pacifc's extensive mines
there. During all the time he had been
extremely popular among the men, who
seemed willing to do more work for him
than could be got out of them by the
most driving bosses. When he removed
to Como a large number of the men en-
ployed at Carbon followed him to his
new field of labor.
His death has cast deep gloom over
Como, lar more than would be expected
under ordinary clrnnnasta noes -
Hon. John S. Kerr, speaker Of the
Wyoming legislature, states that the
deepest sorrow prevails among the min
ers of Carbon over the sad event, and
that there has been a complete cessation
of labor there for twenty-four hours out
of respect to the dead su perintendent.
The deceased was quite wealthy, and
with his three brothers constituted the
Qualey Cattle company. The family
have long been connected with the Union
Pacific coal department, and all are held
in the highest esteem. His brothers are
powerful factors in the political affairs of
Wyoming.
The deceased was unmarried, in the
prime of life and of magnificent ply
sique.
Mr.. P. j. Qualey of Timberline, this
county, brother of the deceased, is still
at Como, and will probably remain there
during the summer.

The summary disposal of the tariff bill
during the past week is taken by many
to indicate that the Congressional session
will be of shorter duration than was
supposed week ago. But it is not inn
possible that the tariff bill may come up
again. 1t would be strange indeed if the
forty or fifty Congressional Boanerges
who have spent both time and money in
the composition and purchase of speeches
will be content to carry this pent
up undelivered elOquence; but, unless
the pent up food Of tariff talk shall be
let loose in the halls of Congress. the SEES
sion will probably be shortened by from
two to three weeks. The weather has
been exceedingly warm, and members
andsenators are very anxious to get away
from the city.

Senators whose present terms would
otherwise expire on March 4th, 1889
shall continue in Office until noon of the
last Tuesday in April succeeding such
expiration. The last Tuesday of April
shall therefore be substituted for the
4th, Of March as the beginning and end

The Senate is not disposed to give the
President any rest but keeps sending up
to him bills, by the basketful, for his
examination and approval. Saturday
when he went to bed he had on his
table "a bills, the constitutional time for
his examination of which expires on
Monday, and he has not looked at one of
them. There is an other lot embracing
as many more that will become laws on
Tuesday unless he voices them, and still
more on Wednesday, and it is scarcely
possible for him to read their text.
THURSDAY and Friday the Senate passed
2l2 bills, about half of which have gone
through the House, and will be dumped
on his table. Some of these bills are
saved by their numbers. They would
certainly be vetoed if the President had
time to examine them.

when to Cut wheat and Grass

The time is approaching, says the
Journal of Agriculture, when the ques-
ton of the proper time to reap and mo"
will again begin to interest the farming
world. Too many things affect tie
ability of the farmer to reap MS gra Il
and NOW his grass exactly at the proper
theoretical time for doing this work to
make it worth while to lay down a
nositiye rule. Yet ignorance OF the sud-
;oct and general carelessness often cause
mistakes to be made which do great In
Jury to the quality of the crop.
In the matter of timothy the time OF
emitting varies very considerably with
different farmers. Some cut when the
bloom is first on, some when the bloom
Is going off, some wait till the seed Is
fnllv formed and begins to harden. Many
do not finish cutting till the seed shattel
badly Evidently the extremes to AVOID
are. Cutting when the grass is SO green
that in cutting it will dry up and lose
weight excessively, and waiting TIL the
stalk has largely turned to woody noer
There is very little question that a
leaning to the former is better than &c Z,
tba latter. If the crop could be cut ali
at once the ideal time would be when
tine bloom is Just off. Ii the crop to De
cnt will take some ten days, begin before
this time. 1t is not good policy to make
ofgrass both hay crop and grain crop
If therefore, the grass stands long enough
To mature the seeds sufficiently Tor Il
to form an important element OF 1000
the grain will be more than offset by the
rapid conversion of digestible matter IL
the stalk to woody fibre. The digestlolilty
of the hay being the most importah
factor in the question of hay-maKing
this point should be kept constantly IL

THE DEMOCRARIC PARTY.

During the first year, while the presi-
dent was organizing his administration,
there was much dissatisfaction expressed
bv prominent democrats because the ex-
ecutIve was, as they presumed, over eau
tious in turning his political enemies out
of office. His wise course now receives
the sanction of these politicians and his
policy is applauded upon all sides. He
is strong man in all that the term i'm
plies and is already admitted to be one
of the best presidents this country has
ever had When an opposition congress
met he was beset by trouble and vex-
ations upon every hand, but by consum-
mate wisdom and common sense he has
steered his ship safely over all the dan
gerous breakers and at the end of four
years will bring it to the port i'll better
condition than when lie first took the
helm. Under such an administration
the position of the party is decidedly
gratifying and extremely hopeful. Out
Of the irty-eight states in the union
twenty-five have democratic governors
Three fifths of the American people are
governed by democratic home rule. Al
most every state election held since
President Clevcland's, has recorded a
democratic victory. With such a repre-
sentative in the chair, the party has
much to hope for.

The most noteworthy social events in
washington were the two receptions
given by the President and his wife, the
hrst being card reception to the army
and vavy diplomats and other officials,
the last to the general public which was
probably the largest reception ever held
at the White House. No other announe-
ment was made than the one in the
dally papers and in these the hours
named were from nine till eleven, but at
that hour there was such line of eager
faces anxious to shake hands with the
President and his bride, that Mr. Cleve-
Land sent word that he would see them

the last reception Mrs. Cleveland win
mold until the opening of the next sea

Doesn't Want 1t EncrOached On

On motion of Mr.. Butler the senate
took up the bill to grant the right of way
to the Cinnabar & Clark's Fork Railroad
company through a corner of the Yellow
stone park. Mr.. Vest vehementIY OPP
posed the bill. He contended that the
road was intended in good faith to reach
mining property Why had not at least
a preliminary survey been made? He
would not appeal to men who thought
the Mammoth cave and Niagara Falls
should be transferred to commercial use.
but he would appeal 10 senators to
preserve at least enc spot of beauty from
the rack and roar of commerce and the
greed and avarice of selfish men. The
railroad company's object was not to get
to mine, but to carry passengers to and
through the park. The construction of
this road. Mr.. Vest asserted, would be
the destruction of the park. A former
officer Of The interior department had
haunted the senate in the interest of
this bill. Some suggestions had been
made TO the effect that Mr.. Vest and
other senators who opposed this bill,
were the tools Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company. Any statement of
that kind was utterly and UNANIMOUSLY
false. No man connected with that
company had ever dared to approach
Mr. Vest on the subject. If the North
ern Pacific Railroad company had any
interest in the matter, it was that read
through the park should be built, as it
would form branch of that road Ref
erring to the natural beauties of the park.
Mr. Vest declared that in the world
there was not such another aggregation
Of wonders as in the Yellowstone park.
Mr. Butler did not agree with Mr.. Vest
in his esthetic views. He was about to
proceed with his answer to Mr.. Vest,
but yielded to a suggestion to let it go
over.
