FAULT-FINDING.

With few honorable exceptions our Re.
publican exchanges abound in cavillings
mad fault-finding with Mr.. Ceveland's mes.
sage. They don't like it. It says toe much
here; too little there, and weak all over ap-
pears to be the drift of their criticisms. 1t
is simply fault-fnding instigatcd by parti.
san hate. While it ia true that from some
OF the views set forth by Mr.. Cleveland, es-
pecially those upon the silver question,
many people will dissent, and all Demo.
Gratis will not agreee no one, ualess a jaun.
diced partisan incapable OF impartial judg.
ment in any matter and blind to all merit
not Of his v faction, can withhold ad-
miration for the President as a man OF
clear convictions and absolete courage in
them. No one at least can %truthfully &C.
cuse Grover Cleveland Of being q trimmer
or of having tried to evade any public
question or confuse the public mind as to
his position in regard to it. His treatment
of the tariff, currency and civil service re.
form questions ia remarkable for it's fear
less frankness, and the emphasis with which
he states his conclusions.
He knows as we'll as any man, 10 doubt,
that these questions are dangerous ones
for public men to handle, that it is more
the fashion Of politicians to evade them
than to meet them squarely and that his
own party is not Of one mind in dealing
with them. Where a Blaine or a Sherman,
OF almost any other OF the men now prom.
inent in public life, would have temporized
or evaded. or dealt in generalities, Presi-
dent Cleveland reached positive conclusions
in his OWN mind and stated them bluntly
and without equivocation.
1t is this characteristic that gives Presi.
dent Cleveland strength with the people,
whatever the politicians may say. They
him for q nan of honest urpos
plain, straightforward and sincere. They
know that he never says a thing he does
not mean. and that not even for policy
sake or to gain the applause of the rab-
he will not turn aside from his own
OF duty. He is a man who
nay sometimes be mistaken, but he never
practices deception, and there is in his ma
'ure no trace of the d~emagoaue.
It is in this that President Cleveland is /
trong with the people. They believe in I
lis sincerity and his conscientious desire to +
10 his duty. His message emphasizes in a
orcible way these traits in his character,
nd the people trust him, though they may
yot agree with him in all he says.

A NEEDED ENTERPRISE

By reference to another columnin this il
sue it win be seen that . new mining cor
poration has been organized for the pur
pose OF working extensive and vaiuabl,
mining properties in the Pipestone district
situated about twenty-five miles east oi
this city. This will be welcome news to th.
people Of Jefferson county, but more par
ticuIarly to tie large number Of miners and
prospectors in the district referred to who
have patiently waited and heartily desired
the erection Of works OF the character noted
that they may be enabled to have Their
ores treated at reasonable cost and thei,
mines more fully brought to the notice Of
the outside world.
It isa TACT ~well.known to those who are
acquainted with the Pipestone mining dis.
trict that there Is . large AREA Of magnifi.
cent gold and silver bearing lodes within it's
boundaries, whose owners have been una.
bic, for want of means, to work them mnch
beyond the requirements Of the law govern
ing their possession. Some parties more
fortunately situated, financially, have
sunk shafts from 100 feet to 300 feet deep
upon their properties, run levels, and
shipped their first-class ores to the sam
pling works in this city. which ran from
100 ounces to 800 ounces Of silver per ton,
with a large percentage of gold. Ship
ments OF ore have been made elsewhere,
with most lsttering results, all showing
question the unreasonable value of
the properties.
The incorporators include several OF our
most prominent citizens and well. known
men, which fact is a sufficient guar
anty OF the soundness and stability of the
enterprise, and that it will be speedily car
ried to q successful completion. We con-
,ratulate the people of Pipestone district
lpon the Inauguration of the long-needed
enterprise and the brilliant future which
waits them at it's completion. With a
Of the capacity stated, convent
located and fully prepared to do GUS
work, we confidently predict that the
oipestone district will soon take rank
lmong the most favored, most noted, and
ichest mining centers in Montana, |

A Locomotive Epeipeer's Pluck.

A Locomotive Engineers Pluck.
Some months ago The National Car Builder
mentioned that a prominent western railroad
company, having instituted an inspection of
all the trainmen for the detection of color
blindness, it was found that one of the oldest
passenger engineers could not read or write.
The result of this discovery was that the man
was taken of tho road at once, and notified
that he could have a switch engine to rum.
Instead of accepting this oblique promotion,
he asked and received leave of absence for
three months. Then he went bone, got the
assistance of q teacher, and began laboring
to acquire a knowledge of reading and writ
ing. This was done so vigorously that at tho
expiration of his leave he wrote a very re-
spectably-penned letter to the master me-
chanic, intimating that he was ready to take
his engine. Boston Budget.

Health of the (;ity.

The physicians report the health of the
city as unexceptionally good. One of the
most prominent physicians of Butte in
formed a MINER reporter that one year ago
he was treating about thirty cases per day
in Butte and vicinity, where now he has
less than q dozen. This decrease is due to
the excellent sanitary condition OF the city,
for which the people are indebted to the
present efficient municipal government and
watchful health officers.

sired by high prctectionists, and hence
Mr.. Thobe will not find it . difficult mat
ter for him to get all the help he needs in
the undertaking.
There wa not at any time. remarks the
Chicago Herald, q reason to suppose that
Mr.. Carlisle had been defeated, but it
would have been 60 pleasing to the repre-.
sentatives Of monopoly il such had been
the al that they persisted for several
days in the assertion that he had been left
at home. His majority was less than
1000, but the falling of arose from the
fact that it was not supposed he had
any rival. II 1hobe's vote bad exceeded
the vote thrown for MI. Carlisle's oppo-
nent the last time that q regular nomina-
ton was made against him it would have
indicated a weakness on his part, but it
did not. His reduced majority wa due to
the failure of his own friends to 60 to the
polls, believing that it was not necessary,
and not to any strength shown by his ad-
versary, who came into the field on the eve
of election, and made what is called a still
hunt.
Not to lose all the enjoyment which they
would have had if Mr.. Carlisle had been de-
feated, Mr.. Thobe has been persuaded by
the tariff crowd to contest the seat, and,
as there is no law against that kind of
thing. the horse play will 60 on for the edi-
fication OF the Pennsylvanians who are
paying the expenses. As to the effect OF the
contest upon Mr.. Carlisle's chances for the
Speakership, it lie not probable that it will
be given a moments consideration. II he
wishes a reelection, the honor will be con-
fsrred upon him, and Mr.. Thobe will find,
his case ever comes to q vote, that as
many Republicans as Democrats will array
in favor Of the proposition of
him for home. But it is not likely
that the issue will ever come to a vote.
The contest has been brought for the pur-
pose of mussiDg up the Speaker, and per

Tree Planting in England,

The English commissioners of forests are
planting extensively on the crown property
in the Isle of Man. About 100000 trees
have been planted IN mountain land during
the last three years, and the work has proved
SO successful that it has been decided to ex.
tend the number of trees annually. The
planting is done almost entirely by native
labor, under the superintendent of a compe-
tent forester from Carlisle, most of the trees
having been ordered from the well known
nurseries of Knowfield in that city.-New
