The PHILADELPHIA Record saws !:

'',rhe federal administration, which has
proved itself q powerful instrumentality to
distract and divide the democracy of Penn
syivania by turning cold shoulder upon
the friends and sustaining the enemies of
democratic policies, was either incapable of
remedyiug its bluudsrs or Indifferent to
their effect upon the rank and file CT the
party. The result has been that the cleo
ton has gone By default. 1t was a splen-
did day yesterday, but the democrats did
not vote"
The New York It'orid says
The elections contribute some lessons
from which the President may, if he will,
learn wisdom. For nearly two years he
has conducted his administration with a
view to strengthening himself among the
republicans. His civil ssrvice policy has
been shaped more with the idea Of mollfy.
ing republicans than Of satisfying democrats.
What has been the result 2"
And so it goes oil over the country.
When the democrats elected Mr.. Cleveland
they supposed they were electng a demo-
cratic President. They have been sadly
disappointed. And they showed their dis
appointment at The frat favorable opportu-
nifty.

OUR CONFESSION.

Translated from the Richmondino Dispsccio fol-
the Alexandria Gazette
We have been looking over some of the
earlier chapters Of our Commentaries on
Constitutional Law, and we find ourselve.
in g very unpleasant predicament, to say the
least. We must confess, Inconsistency were
an article of jewelry, we should feel most
gorgeously decorated just at this moment.
How in the name Of sense we came to write
as we did In 1881, about the Riddleberger
Dill, IS mystery which passed our present
comprehension. Unconstitutional BILL
'broken reed, 'l'repudiation of Al per cent. -
these were some Of our expressions and not
one syllable about ''the ELEVENTH amendment"
or "suit against the State" or judicial usur-
patton nor word of censure for the bond.
holders who ase certainly claiming no more
now than they were then.
If the public remembers all these things.
what becomes of our reputation and our in
huence as constitutional lawyer? Is it pos.
sibe that We are suspected OF being an un-
constitutional lawyer? That would be
strange perversion of fame.
To reconcile 1856 with 1881, that sis the
question" as Shakespeare says, though some
think that Francis Bacon, the noted Vir.
ginia rebel, who compiled the "Abridg.

ment.
Judicial preceaents are sometimes useful,
and just here we are reminded of what Carr

Three veins have been developed,
showing respectively two and half,
three, and four feet thickness of coal.
This is the best coal yet found in the
Territory, and some of the best in the
country for coking purposes.
Several analyses have been made,
all showing but four per cent. ash, while
most of the coke in the market contains
from ten to sixteen per cent.
This mine is particularly valuable on
account Of the large quantity of coal it
contains and the high percentage of fixed
carbon shown by the assays, and de-
serves the attention of capitalists on the
strength of its excellence rs an invest
ment. ,a
The lowest estimate made of it's ca
pacity gives three million tons, while by
some it is placed at five millions.
Many smaller coal fields have been
found at various points in the Territory,
but as they have been but slightly or inn
perfectly explored their value or extent
is not known.
Estimating from those fields which
have been developed there is not suffi-
cient coal now explored to supply the
market of Montana for many years to

cent visit to Butte we we're more than
ever impressed with the importance,
prosperity and evident stability of the
camp. The growth Of the city is simply
phenomenal, and the mines, which to-
day are more extensive and productive
than any other in the world, give promise
Of greater continuance than any hereto
fore discovered, not excepting those of

be richer and more productive than they
were $50 feet below the surface; and
what is still more surprising is the fact
that new and rich veins Of both silver
and copper ore are constantly being de-
veloped; some of which will doubtless
prove a. rich in precious metals and a.
permanent in mineral wealth a. those
which have already made Butte the
most important and prosperous mining

sive fields of coal are known to exist.
The only important opening has been
made by the Great Falls Coal Company
Only a small quantity of coal has been
produced, supplying the wants of Great
Falls and Fort Benton.
Running through the town of Anacon-
da and toward the Mullan tunnel of the
Northern Pacific there is an outcrop Of
excellent coal, but the seams are 80 mar
row, not generally exceeding two inches,
that it is improbable to work them.
This coal cokes well.
South from Red Rock station, on the
Utah and Northern Railway, at the head
of Medicine Lodge creek, there is coal
field some fifteen square miles. Some
small quantities of coal have been taken
out and sold in Dillon, but the distance
of the mine (sixteen miles) from the rail.
way has prevented it's development.
The coal is fair Ignite and good fol-
domestic or steam purposes. The width
Of the principal vein is about six feet.
There are three other veins known.
This field is owned by the Union Pacific.
There are many valuable coal fields in
Montana, but until the internal railways
of the Territory are extended they will
generally be unavailable, economically
