The entire works of the Anaconda Copper Company, near Butte, Mont, have been closed down for the winter, which action throws out of employ ment 1,500 meu. The shelter had been closed down some time previous ly, but force was employed on the new concentrator and other work. A proposition from the manager of the company to start up the works, with a reduction of wages at the smelter from s to $2.50 per day met with re- fusal from the local Knights of Labor, whereupon the works were ordered shut down, not to be again started up before next May.

The political muddle in Indiana be- comes more and more intensified as the day approaches for the meeting of the legislature. Already notice of contest for the busting of six Demo- crats have been filed. The Republi- cans claim that they are equal to the emergency, and that heroic treatment will be resorted to and for every Re publican fired the Senate will cause a Democrat to walk the plank. The outlook for a rumpus of large propor- tions when the legislature meets is therefore favorable, unless the Repub- licans back down from their openly avowed programme. Mcdonald, Har- rison and ex-Gov. Porter are the only prominent names mentioned in con- nection with the Senatorship.

Chester A. Arthur, the twenty first President of the United States, died in New York City, November 18th, oi cerebral appople2y. His death was painless and for four hours before be ceased to breath he was unconscious of his surroundings. Mr. Arthur, al- though mediocre statesman when compared with many of his predeces- sors, had the reputation of being a conscientious man, characteristic not generally accorded to politicians. He made fair President and in his do- mestic life he was above reproach.

THE CUTTING EXPEDITION.

Touching the rumored fhbustering expedition, reference to which is made on the first page of thls issue, the fol- lowing IS pertinent:
 Section 5287, of the United States Statutes, provides that district courts shall take cognizance of all complaints by whomsoever instituted, in every case in which any military expedition or enterprise is begun or set on foot contrary to the provisions and prohi- bitions of the neutrality laws of the United States; and in every case in which any process issuing out of any court of the United States is disobeyed or resisted by any person, it shall be lawful for the President or such other person as he shall have empowered for that purpose, to employ such part of the land or naval forces of the Unie ted States, for the purpose of prevent ing the carrying on of any such expe- dltion or enterprise from the territo- ries or jurisdiction of the United States against the territories or domin- ions of any foreign prince or state, or of any calony, district, or people with whom the United States are at peace.
 
 The Indiana legislature as shown on the face o the returns, will stand, on joint balldt 76 Democrats and "A Re pubIicans, giving the Democrats two majority. The Republicans will have control of the House and the Demo- erats of the Senate. The coming con test hinges on the election of United States Senator to succeed Gen. Harri- son, and both parties will make a stubborn fight for the prize. The Democrats have filed notices of contest against four Republican members-elect of the House and against six of the nine Senators elected by the Republi-, cans. The charges on which these contests are based include ineligibility on constitutional grounds, bribery, corruption, &c. The Republicans pro- pose to contest the seats of three Dem ocratic members of the House and one. Senator. The Legislature will assem- ble on Thursday, Jan. 6, and an excit- ing time Is certain.

This great purchase must have been sanctioned by the German government (or rather Bismarck else the consul would rot have dared in- indulge in this wholesale speculation.

As reported by Vienna dispatch to the Lord Mayor of London, It is definitely stated that the coalition against Russia consists of England, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Germa- ny. It is understood that in the event of Russia declaring war, Austria is to occupy the south of Hungary and Ser via, the English and Austrian fleets to occupy the Black Sea, while Germany makes ready a half million of men to watch the Polish frontier and go to the relief of Austria in case it becomes necessary. If Turkey joins the coali- ton, her integrity as a nation will be guaranteed and cost of armament paid for, but should she join Russia she will be given the grand bounce from the family of Nations and her place upon the map of the world be desig- mated by some other power than that or uIkey.
 If France joins Russia, million of Germans will cross the frontier while two hundred thousand Italians will watch the Alps. The reward of Italy will be the restoration of Nice and Savoy. Should France espouse the cause of Russia, it is proposed to clip her power by forbidding her to fortify her frontier. Greece will be support ed by an Austrian army from Bosnia in sweeping Turkey out of Europe. It is to be hoped that the Czar of Rus sia "that thing of saber sway. with front of brass and feet of clay" may in this bout be so sufficiently curbed that he cannot strew the world with hostile bones without mourning the penalty attaching to those of vaulting ambition who overreach themselves and fall in their attempt to do more than may become man, although he be an emperor.

Miners will enjoy the following sto- ry, which loses none of its flavor all though it comes all the way from Ishpeming, Michigan. A good-natur- ed tramp apphed at the mines for work as a sort of extra. One day he would work and two days he would loaf. After awhile he went to the
 Winthrope Hemetlc Co.'s mines and offered 25 cents per ton for the dumps, to be paid as they were removed. The company gave him contract, and he also bought the dumps Of neighboring mines at the same price. After the contracts were signed, he dropped his character of tramp, reappeared as a business man, set a crew of men to work sorting the dump, which turns out to be 50 per cent of ore worth S5.5O per ton. The Winthrope dump netted him S1,OOO,OOO, and the other dumps about $4,OO0,OOO. Jones has the dumps and the mine-owners have the dumps, so it's an even set-of, beg ging your pardon, gentle reader, for the pun.-Mining and Scientific Press.

The bloody shirt and the color line are both fading out of Virginia poli- tics. A "stanch Republican" of that State is quoted by the Tribune as say ing that "when 25000 Confederate soldlocs cast their Republican vote for Blaine, and wien, year later, 15,000 colored voters cast their first Demo- cratic vote for Fitzhugh Lee, ,the color line was forever broken And now that the Republicans have elected seven CongresSmen ont of ten and ob- tained a majority in the popular vote under preciseTTy tie same eIecE6n ma chinery and against the same "bull- dozers" that existed there two years ago, IS it not high time for the Blaines and Shermans to stop their stale out cry agalnst ''fraudS' and the "sup- presSion of the colored vote?'

On our first page, of this issue, we publish a reported interview, at the White House, between President Cleveland and J. J. O'Donohue, a prominent leader Of the Tammany or ganizaton, who bears tbe same rela- ton to the party as the late John Kelly, and is now a member of Con- gress from New York. It shows that Tammauy, as well as the County De- mocracy of New York, in the language of Buck Fsnshaw has "shook" the President. While Cleveland is cast down by the avowed opposition of those powerful Democratic organiza- tions, he is not necessarily in despair. C. M. Strauss resolution adopted by the Democratic convention of Arizona is the buoyant cork that will float him for another term.

We fear that the reported jump in the price of copper is not warranted by facts. The value of copper Is of slow growth, it creeps, not runs. Sup ply and demand governs, and we can not see that the supply has sufficient ly fallen of to cause a sudden advance of several cents per pound. We hope, however, that the last reported price, F to IS cents, may be obtalned. The las t number of the Engineering and Mining Journal received says: ''The copper market is very strong, and the producers have prices in their own control The probability IS, that the next Lake sale will be above 12 cents, though how far above is quite M'RirsS121c, IS in the air. but will scS-Sejy be reached.

WHO ARETHE CAPITALISTS 4:

Too many people in denOuncing great
corporations" take little thought OF what
form many of our corporations. MIR. An
DREW CARNEGIE, the great Pittsbarg
manufacturer, has IN article in the cur
rent number of the Forum showing that
the great corporations Of the country
ore not so much in the hands OF rich men
as might be supposed. For example, the
Pennsylvania railroad is owned by 1880
Stockholders, in shares of$5O and upwards.
The New York Central is owned 10y lnils
stockholders, OF whom One-third are wo-
men. Says Mr. CAINEGIE:
The entire railroad system Of the United
States will show \ similar wide dlStrlbu-
ton of ownership among the people. There
are but three railway corporations IN when
capitalists hold a considerable interest, and
the ,,relt interest in two of these Is held
by various members OF family, and
in no case does il amount Ia the
control OF the whole. Steel raIl mills,
with only one exception, show Il
like state of affairs. One Oi them
belongs to 2l5 shareholders, Of whom
seven are employees, thirty-twO are estates
and Glty-seyen are women. Another OF
these concerns is owned by 3U2 Stockhold-
ers. of whom lUl are women, twcnty-nIne
are estates, reprc>entin%an unknown num-
Der OF individuals, and twenty are en-
ployeS Of the company. y large proportion
OF the remaining owners are small holders
L
of comparatively limited means, Who nave
from time to time, invested their savings
where they had confidence both rs To Ger
tainty of income and safety OF principal
The Mcrrimlc Manufacturing Company
(cotton) oi Lowell is owned by 800 share
holders, of whom II pvr cent. are holders
of one share. u per cent of two and 10 per
cent. of three Shares. Twcnty-Scveu per
cent. are holders Of over three shares; AMI
not less than - per cent Of the whole stock
is held by trustees, guardians and executors
OF charitable, religious, educational ana
financial institutions.
He shows that in manufacturing and
other corporations nearly onc-third Of the
shareholders are women or executors OF
estates. and the number OF persons hold
ing stool, in the railroads Of the country
exceeds the entire number Of men cm-
ployed on the roads. Ninety-ntne-hun-
drcdths of the wealth OF the country is
owned bvpoar men who have saved their
earnings and invested them, though the
individual sums may be small, in various
enterprises.
When these great facts are considered,
there ought to b. little bitterness between
labor and capital. The Anarchists, VINO
would with one stroke destroy the capital
lists of the country, would destroy that
great body Of men who are by the sweat
of their brow earning wealth and investing
it i'm the industries that make country
prosperous. The capitalist Of the Anarchist
