TIE Senate Committee on Pensions in it's
indignation over the numerous vetoes oil
the bills passed by that body, read the
President a lecture on that subject.
Although the committee took special care
to say that they would keep within the
bounds of courtesy the Language used in the
report far exceeded the rights Of tho Senate:
In his veto messages thu" President simply
exercised his constitutional prerogatives
and In doing SO used plain language, but
none too plain than was warranted by the
facts. Independent OF any other consider
alton the report in question is wrong in
principle. The President has rights as well
as Congress, and the attempt OF the com.
m1ttee to abuse and belittle him for exer-
cising them is without a precedent. Tit
p~artisanship of the affair crops out when
the committee makes the comparison be-
tween the relative number Of bills OF either
House vetoed and shows that the percent
age of Senate bills is greater than those OF
the House. Such a statement, while true,
can surely have no bearing or the case and
it's use in q document proves that the Re-
publicans Of the Senate are at their wits
ends for material with which to fight the
President. However, Mr.. Cleveland can

The MissouHan; in a recent issue, makes
a very savage attack IN Judge Qalbraith
for the in which he adjourned the
District Court at that place. The MINER
learns from the most. reliable sources that
the attack was entirely unjustifable and
that it meets with the condemnation OF the
leading lawyers OF the county. The bust
ness of the term was completed, the docket
had been gone through and the Court sat
for hall q day without any business what
ever before it. The minutes Of the Court
not having been completely written-up, by
Thursday evening, the Judge. having &C
ceptel a~ninvitation togo fishing, adjourned
the Court until the following Monday,
simply ITO sign the minutes" The busi-
ness Of the Court having been completed,
the adjournment to bring the signing OF the
minutes within the term was an entirely
legitimate act. 1t in no wise interfered with
the ends OF justice orthe rights Of ~litigants.
Though politically opposed to Judge
Galbraith. The MINER takes pleasure in
making this correction. Judge Galbraith
has proven himself an able, learned up
right Judge, a mar who never tires or neg
lects hours and who, above all judges in
Montana, expedites business. He has his
idiosyncracies, probably but carelessness,
lazyness and negligence are not among
them.

Three Mining Prospectors Found Dead
in a Wyoming Cabin.

At the head of a deep eulch at the base
of a high peak rising from the great water.
shed of the Green, Snake and Wine Rivers
a party OF hunters, early this spring, we're
gathered around and passing in and out Of
a rotten, falling cabin, writes q Cheyenne
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe.Dem-
0crat. Awe and pity were marked upon
the rugged, we~atherbeaten c~ountenances,
and the rough voices were modulated to
tones low if not soft.
Let as enter and see what has produced
such an extraordinary effect upon the
tough men Of the mountains. 1t is soon
seen, In rude bunks, still clinging to the
rotten and falling walls, are huddled in
shining, ghastly heaps, the bones Of three
human beings. Moldering fragments OF
blankets still envelop the skeletons and
give them an air of uncanny repose. In
the long, matted grass which grows on the
floor of the hut are half concealed rusting
mining tools and mildewed cooking utensils,
Chopped and Widowed raggedness' are
what once were articles OF wearing apparel.
Suddenly some one steps upon an object
| concealed in the rank and matted grass,
stoops, picks it UP, and utters an exclama-
| ton, and the others crowd about him.
| The object is q thin broad rock, overlaid
| with green, damp moss, through which can
be traced some written characters. Hastily
| the stone is cleanssd from its green and
| ~clinging covering and letters OF record stand
out sharp and clear. They have evidently
been traced by one OF the skeleton hands
lying in one OF the hunks, and every one is
eager to read. And this is what the craven
legend OF the moss-grown tablet says:

A Determined Suicide.

William Chereves, a miner, committed
suicide last Sunday in his cabin at Walker.
vile. The deed was committed between 4
and 5 O'Clock p. m. when William Orcutt.
who occupied another portion Of the cabin,
heard cries emanating from Chereves'
room. Orcutt FASTENED to the apart
ment, and found Chereves sitting on the
floor holding his arm over a coal oil can.
which was nearly full of blood, he having
severed an artery and being nearly dead
from loss OF blood. Orcutt asked him
what he meant and, Chereves replied. II
have determined to end my life. It ia a
tailnre." Orcutt started to 60 for assist
ance, but had scarcely reached the outside
when a pistol shot rang out, and re.enter.
ing the house found that Chereves had
placed a pistol to his temple and ended his
existence. Coroner Whitford was notified
and a jury was empanelled, who rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to hi.
death by his own hand.
Deceased was, an Irishman, and had been
in Walkerville but four or i've weeks. dur.
ing most OF which time he had been en-.
Ploved at the Moulton Mill. Its supposed
that ne WA q married man and came from
Iowa, u nothing definite in regard to h;a
previous history could be learned. Ths
ionefa4 took place Monday afternoon.

And then an abrupt termination. The
writer OF his own and his companions obit-
uary was prevented by some cause from
adding anything further TO the mournful
record. The hunters dug q deep grave in
the fool of the cabin which had witnessed
the last agonies OF the entrapped men, and
reverently returned the long.exposed re.
mains to mother earth. The party then
set forth, guided by the injunction, "Due
south ten miles," to search for the mine
and the treasure hidden there. The search
lasted a month without result and the
party came in to the railroad, laid in a
supply of provisions and will spend the
summer in the search.
There is no doubt but that the remains
found are those of "the man Of the golden
gunny-sack" and his two companions.
This man is famous in the wild traditions
of the mountains, and his story, or that
portion of it known to be true, Is as follows:
In September, 1869, there came into the
little station Of St. Mary, on the overland
stage route, and in the Sweetwater Valley,
q man. tired, foot-sore and ragged, but who
bore upon his back q large gunny-saek full
of gold nuggets. He remained at the sta
ton one night and took the East bound
stage. The next spring he returned with q
small though well appointed pack train
and two companions. The party went
toward the mountains Of the great water
shed from which the man with the golden
sack had come in the preceding fall, and
nothing was ever, heard OF the party again,

UNCLE SAMUErS BIRTHDAY.
How It Was Celebrated Day Before
Yesterday in Montana's
Silver City.
A Procession that Eclipsed In Grandeur
Anything Ever Seen In the
Northwest.
The Literary and Musical Exercises
Sport at the Race Track
The Fireworks.

Butte was the biggest city in the North
west day before yesterday. Butte's cele
bration OF the 111th anniversary o.
American independence was on a scale o.
grandeur never equalled by any city thrice
it's size on the continent. It was a cele
bration to which our people will point with
pride until q recurrence Of the occasion
gives them an opportunity to eclipse it,
The procession was gorgeous in style and
number Of participants, the public exercises
were literary and musical gems, the sport
at the race-track was enjoyed by all, and
the. pyrotechnic display at night was the
climax of brilliancy. The day was cele
brated in Butte by fully 10000 patriotic
and prosperous people.

Notes.

Fireworks are at a premium.
The interior decorations OF the Pavilion
elected much favorable comment.
A feature OF the procession was Mr.. II: ;.
Clark infant twins in . bronze chariot,
which was drawn by Mrs. Rice's four-year'
old twins. The turnout attracted much
attention.
The ordnance from Deer Lodge was a
roaring success.
All persons having bills against the
Fourth of July Executive Committee will
please present them Immediately to J.Ross
Clark for payment. There 10 enough money
on hand to pay everybody.
The cars Of state were beautiful struc'
lures, and reflected great credit on the
taste of the persons who decorated them
The fremen looked too sweet for any
thing.
There was a happy scarcity of drunken
people throughout the day.
To DR.. Norcross, Marshal OF the Day
too much credit can o be awarded FOL
the success of the procession. He worked
| hard for weeks to make the affair what i
proved to be-the greatest Of it's kind eve
held in the Northwest.

In the last issue OF the Chicago Morning
| Journal, one OF the ablest and staunches'
friends OF silver in the country, there ap
pears a seasonable article on the coin dis
custom. 1t says that one prominentp point
in the discussion of the mono-metallic the
DRY of the currency problem has appa
! rently been lost sight Of, as it has been en-
tirely ignored by the advocates OF that
! system, and that is the supply OF gold and
it's permanence. The statistics of 1857
show that the excess OF the consumption
OF gold over production vas $S7 900, 900
It will readily be perceived that such ar
excessive demand SO far beyond the supply
cannot long continue without greatly ap
preciating tie value of the material and itf
purchasing power, whenever used as a stan
| dard of value or a medium OF exchange. Re
liable figures show that the gold product fol
the year 1885 did not exceed $95, DOC, 900,
while the minis consumed $50. ZOO, 900,
| the industrial arts $75, OOO, 600, and China
and India absorbed SIS, 100000. This
does not afford q very satisfactory basis
for a gold currency. II every pennyweight
OF the gold product Of 1885 had been
coined, it would not have been too much
to meet the demand made by the advanc,
ing borders OF commercial and industrial
activity, but when the industrial arts claim
$751; OO, 900 out OF the $95, O0O, 900 pro-
duced from the mines of the world it ia
evident there can be no great addition to
XLo ,ol.-no ~ o,,cronov ocnoaioIv Whan
from this available amount, the absorbing
demands OF China and India are taken
into consideration.
An appeal to the substantial evidence oil
facts and figures shows conclusiyely that
gold never can meet the currency require
ments Of the aggressive and progressive
activities of the world. Thesame evidence
not only shows this but also proves that
the business OF the world has always de-
manded large assistance from silver and
other forms OF currency. Those nations
to-day recognized as the chief opponents OF
the mono-metalic theory are not only using
but coming silverfor currency purposes. In
the British Empire $3,950.21O in silver
was coined in 1885. Austria-H Hungary
coined $4,194,15O in silver. Germany,
$3.50 ,4O2, and British India, $28,O7O,.
O2O. While the German Treasury statement
June 3 shows $ss, 76O, 900 in silver, with a
currency value equal to gold, although OF a
higher comparative weight than the stand
ard dollar OF the United States. Great
Britain, the recognized leader in the mono
metallic movement, coined in 1885 $780,
O6O,2 $50 in silver, while the United States
mints coined .$29,132,127 and France
$24O, 991. If mono-metallism possesses
such advantages as are claimed and can he
so readily adopted, it is strange that it's
principal exponent should coin more silver
than the two great nations using bimetallic
currency. tt is strong evidence that the
supply Of gold is not and has not been for
some time adequate to the requirements
for currency purposes alone, if it was all
available for that purpose.

THERE is an argument in a Winchester
rife in the hands of q man authorized to
use it, under certain circumstances, far
more cogent than all the riot acts OF po-
lice ibatons that can be brought to bear
against a mob. It becomes still more
effective when said rifles are held by men
who will use them if occasion demands.
The potency Of that kind Of argument was
clearly shown in Chicago, where Pinkerton's
detectives, armed with those formidable
weapons, confronted the Lake Shore RIO
tiers. We haven't much use for a sneak or
a squealer, but we do have respect for a
body OF men, who, under the sanction OF
the law, dare risk their lives to defend
property and lives and to preserve the
peace. A dozen brave and determined
men al almost at any time prevent riot
and %bloodshed in it's incipiency.
