Eaitor Chronicle.
skirmishing between the president
and the republican senators; lively de-
bates in the lower branch Of congress;
notable speeches in the senate; conven-
tion in behalf of the Mississippi river,
!. and another by the national board of
trade, are features of the week at the
capaitl.
! Che controversy between the president
and the majority in the senate has
reached an interesting point, and there
| is prospect of a political debate in that
end of the capital this week. The re-
publicans of the senate determined long
ago 10 make as much trouble for the
president and his party az they could.
They viii take every advantage within
their reach to perplex and annoy the
administration. They assume this course
to be a political duty, and their leaders,
Edmuids, Hoar, Morril Sherman and
others, are thoroughly trained in all the
arts of obstruction and legislative chic
anery. They are drilling for this on
slaught on the persons and policy com
posing the administration at the time
they were making professions of good
will towards the president and his adj
ministration.
Senator Edmunds proposes to begin
the fight by offering his resolution call
ing upon the president to furnish infor-
nation regarding the cases of removal of
federal officials and his reasons for the
same The democratic senators are
united and harmonious, and will support
Mr.. Cleveland. They are getting ready
for the discussion by holding caucuses
and and the republicans are doing like
wise.
There is no more bitter partisan in the
senate than chieftain Edmunds of Yer
mont. He is the arch enemy of the
democratic party. and he shaped this |
little game while protesting great admir-
alton for the presidents good intentions,
and an anxious desire for his success.
He took pains to call at the White House |
at the time of e-President Hendricks
death, and affected good will towards |
Mr.. Cleveland by urging him not to
attend the funeral at Indianapolis. Mr..
Edmunds believes more in strategy than |
In violence, and he has laid his plan for
entrapping the president very artfully.
He would like above all things to con-
vict Mr.. Cleveland of inconsistency as a
civil service reformer, and to trip the
administration. BUD BAKER.

NeWsy Notes From Cooke.

Cooke City. Jan'y 2l, 1886.
Frank Esler started up the E. M. NJ. &
s. Co.'s works Tuesday at 6 p. M, Jan. 10.
Everything started off well, and by to-
night, Jan. 2lst,l As hours from the
starting up, Is tons of bullion have been
| run out, assaying much higher than any
previous bullion. The ores being
worked, are those of the Black Warrior
and Shoe Fly. The Republic Mining Co.
is rapidly pushing work forward; it is
rumored they will start up about the
first of February About twenty-five
men are employed by them, and there
is no doubt but they will keep about IS
men at work after starting up, provided
the run is made success. Frank Esler
has supplied them with 200 tons of the
street ore (carbonates,) which the COM
pany claimed they must have, in order
TO make successful run.
Gassert, Black dt Co. have a crew of
men at work on the Shoe Fly, which
was bonded short time ago for twenty
one thousand dollars, the owners being
Horace Miller, Pike Moore and Major
Pease, two-thirds being bonded by G. &
Co. and one-third by the Republic Min
ing Co. 1t is stated that the ore is one
of the best smelling ores in camp.

spring. This is another instance where
Mr.. Esler has showed his energy and
pluck by sticking and pushing the
Young America along.
Six freight teams were loaded to-day
with bullion. and six more win be load
ed tomorrow. Many new corners are
arriving daily and we have now some
twenty families in camp. Everything is
looking active and bright, with prom

why He was ReIIeYed.

The case of Mr.. E. w. Armstrong,
sometime collector of internal revenue
at Utica, N. Y, is a peculiarly pathetic
one, and calls for an expression of
respectful sympathy, not with him, but
with his friend and patron, Mr.. Roscoe
Conkling of the New York bar. Arm
strong was one of Mr.. Conkllng's most
faithful henchmen. Mr.. Conkling got
him his collectorship in the immediate
neighborhood of his "home," and Arm
strong used to work for him at Albany
in the time stolen from the government.
He was one of the Spartan band" who,
Mr. Conkling said, had struggled against
"abhorrent and forbidden forces" in
trying to send him back to the senate
after his resignation in 1881. In fact
Armstrong was an intensely practical
and faithful man. The other day, how
ever, President Cleveland dismissed him
and appointed Mr.. Beach in his stead.
The case appeared on its surface pecu-

dents hypocrisy in the matter of civil
service reform, and Senator Morrill,, of
the finance committee, accordingly in
quired the reasons for it, and the secre-
tary Of the treasury promptly furnished
them. They came in the shape of
letter from Armstrong himself, which is
SAID to have made the senate roar with
laughter. 1t informed the president, in
bad grammar and bad spelling, that
although ostensibly a stalwart repub-
lican, Armstrong had really during the
last campaign eovertlv worked hard for
Cleyeland's election, and if the presi-
dent would keep him in Office, as q
republican, he would continue to serve
the democrats in every way in his
power, and particularly in the old
fashioned way of removals and appoint
ments. For Spartan" to figure in
such a transaction, is enough to make
Mr.. Conkling's manly form shake with
some kind of emotion when he hears of
it.-Nation.

The Climate OF Montana.

Mr.. ]. w. Wilkinson, who for several

The Growing Craze for All Sorts of New
Tangled Things.
A craze for odd dinner cards is fast
developing.
Chemisettes resembling pleated shirt
fronts are worn with summer dresses,
and there is finish of high linen col
lar and necktie.
For the nursery, cover a screen with
burlap and paste on every sort of
picture, Christmas or Easter card. 1t
will greatly please the little folks, who
never tire of pictures in whatever
form presented.
In both brooches and ribbon-pins
the designs oftenest used are those of
flowers or winged insects. These af-
ford in their brilliant colorings a fine
opportunity for the employment Of
colored gems or enamel.
Plaster-of-Paris reliefs may be used
with good effect. Select copies of some
desirable works; oil. bronze or gild
them unevenly; hang on the wall
against some tint that will show them
out, such rs red plush or ivory satin.
The present craze is for writing

SVANSTIAN BREAD.

An Article of Food Which Would Defy
the Digestive Powers of an Ostrich.
At last it has been discovered where
the worst bread in the world is made
it is in Svanstia, among the Caucasian
mountains. After reading the follow
ing description by a recent traveller,
we ought to be thankful even if our
bread should be slightly sour or little
heavy some times:
Conceive thing like large Sally
Iunn, only tlatter, made of mixture
of the coarsest oatmeal and sand, very
heavy, more than half sour and very
wet When you have imagined this,
you have imagined the thing which the
unsophsticated Swan looks upon as the
staff of life. Still, bad as it was, only
one of our party refused to eat of it,
and that one our interpreter, Platoon.
At first was very angry with him. con-
sidering that as he had been bred in the
country, what was good enough for
us ought to be good enough for him.
But he was right for all that, as our dis
ordered digestions and a violent attack
of heartburn told us next morning.
To cat the bread of Svanstia with i'm.
punity, even an ostrich would require
to be nourished on it from earliest in
fancy, otherwise it would assuredly be
too much even for his Digestion
Youths Companion.

A Veritable Beer Tunnel.

At Portland. Me-, recently the police
found the outlet of beer pipe in the
cellar of a shop on Commercial street.
The pipe extend ed five feet into the
ground and then took slanting direc-
ton. The officers began the task of
digging along the pipe and uncovered
it for distance of about thirty feet,
when it was found to run through the
cellar wall. After in this way getting
the general direction of the pipe, the
officers left the cellar and entered one
of row of sheds built along the bank
wall of the Boston ~ Maine railroad,
about seventy feet from the cellar,
and continued their search there. 1t
was three clock in the morning before
they found the other end of the pipe,
but it was Mt last discovered in n clev-
erly constructed hiding-placc for the

were found three barrels of beer, one
of them being connected with the Pipe
and partly emptied. The barrels were

OVER NIAGARA.
Two Dogs Which Went over the Falls
without the Least Injury.

Two Dogs which Went over the Falls
without the Least Injury.
1t is an error to say that no creature
that ever went over Niagara Falls
escaped with its life. In 1886 bull
terrier went over and came out alive.
In 1858 another dog was flung in above
the Falls, and an hour afterward it
came dripping up the ferry steps, a
little ratified and disguised with things
in general, but otherwise uninjured.
A recent writer says that there can
sometimes be seen at the foot of the
Falls water cones apparently ten or
twelve feet high. These are formed
by the rapid accumulation and con-
densation of the falling water. 1t
pours down so rapidly and in such
quantities that the water below, so to
speak, can not run of fast enough,
and it piles up ms though il were in a
state of violent ebullition. These
cones are constantly falling and break
ing. A hardy animal falling on 10 ono
of these cones rs on a soft cushion,
might slide safely into the current be-
low. The dogs were, doubtless, for
tunate enough to fall in this way and
were also aided by the repulsion OF tho
water from the rocks in the swift chan
mel through which they passed. -C CHI
