Father Cushnahan's Lecture.

Last evening one Of the largest audiences
that ever congregated together in Butte o.
the exiled sons of the Emerald Isle. met to
hear and do honor to one OF Ireland's
most eloquent orators as he told the tale
OF English treachery and Irish heroism.
Tho reverend gentleman was introduced
by Father Tr,mblay who stated that
though not an Irishman his sympathy and
admiration were always with the oppressed
and next to being what he was he would
rather be an Irishman than of any other
nationality in the word. He then intro
duced Father Cushnahan to the audience.
who was received with thunders
OF applause from all parts OF the
house, again and again repeated.
The reverend lecturer then traced from
the year 43O down to the present time the
wrongs and sufferings of his countrymen at
the hands of the English Government. He
showed what Irishmen could do in foreign
lands, attaining to the highest honors in
all parts oil. the world, and appealed to all
present to unite in one great effort to
make Ireland one OF the grandest, noblest
nations on the earth, that the energy of
her sons was all tending toward that
great end when 1lishmen everywhere would
he able to point with pride to q free and
National Ireland. The reverend lecturer
was constantly %applauded during his lec-
ture, and received quite an ovation at the
finish. We hope to hear the reverend gen.
tleman on some future occasion.

HURLED TO ETERNITY.
The Sad Fate Which Befel James
Eobbs at the Alice Mine.

Yesterday morning James Hobba. a 16
year-o!d son of Thomas and Grace Hobba,
| met With an accident in which he lost bis
life. The deceased was employed by the
| Alice Mining Company..a as to%olcarrier on the
2OO-foot level. He had carried some tools
into the north level of the drift when he
returned to the shaft. Instead OF going
| around by the turn out which is cut
! around the shaft to get to the south side
| OF the station, be attempted to cross By
the compartment kept in which the
pump rods are. At the south side OF the
shaft is a railing to prevent any a from
" talking int :the shalt, and it is supposed
that when trying to get under the rail he
must have struck against the same and lost
| his balance, for at that point Mr.. Medlin the
station II a Jaw him disappear. Mr.. Med
N gave the alarm when upon examination
it vas found that young Hobba
A FALLEN A DISTANCE OF 500 FEET,
falling into a stump full Of water,
It was here the poor fellow was picked up
in a shapeless mass, the head being severed
from the body. Coroner Whitford was
notified who i~mpanneiled a jury who fully
investigated the circumstances of his
death, Superintendent Hall taking them
down the shaft. After the jury had heard
all the evidence in the case it returned a
verdict in accordance with the above facts,
that the deceased, James Hobba, came to
his death by accidentally falling down the
shaft. No blame was attached to the
management. James Hobba, the deceased
was a most excellent boy and was well
liked by all who knew him. The sympathy
Of the community is with the b~ereaved
parents in their sad affection. The funeral
OF the deceased will taxi place from the
family residence. West Walkerville, at 2
O'Clock p. N. to-day. Superintendent
Hall has given orders to close down the

Injured by q

As the express team driven by "Old
Walkerville" was coming to Butte about 8
O'Clock last evening tho horses became
frightened at something in Centervil!e and
started to run away. By some unfortu-
nate turn, near the stone quarry, the wagon
upset and sold Walkeryille" and a g.
year old boy named Newman, who also
occupied the front seat OF the wagon, were
so thrown out that when the wagon over,
turned they were caught underneath the
bed and dragged a distance OF more than
100 feet.
Fortunately the accident occurred as
many persons were on their way from
Walkerville to Butte to attend Father
Cushnahan's lecture, and some OF these
sprang and caught the team as quickly as
possible. The boy Newman was taken to
his home near the Westlake House, by
Mclntyre's express. He is quite severely
injured, especially or the head and his right
leg.
"Old Walkerville" when taken from un-
der the wagon. was found to be. completely
rolled up with the lines. The team and
wagon were righted and he was taken home
by friends. He is badly bruised. but it is
believed not seriously.

The Helena, Boulder Valley & Butte

from Jefferson to Boulder. The building
of the road is an assured fact, and within

the engine as it ome rolling down from
the main divide of the great Rockies to

The New York Herald is of opinion that
Mr.. Blaine has o~verreached himself in sup.
posing that he could look to the East and
South for a nomination. and then rely on
the West against the East and South for
an election. From numerous extracts
made from the Western press, the Herald
shows that Mr.. Blaine's attempt to run
with the hare and hunt with the hounds is
well understood throughout the West. The
failure of the Republican conventions in
the three great States OF Iowa, Indiana and
Illinois to mention the fishery business in
their resolutions is cited as evidence to
prove that the Western States are not dis.
posed to submit to the Blaine policy. From
which it seems that Gen. Logan's tour
through the West has not been in vain. He
has been educating the Western Republic
cans to be suspicious of Mr.. Blaine, and
has proved himself to be a successful edu-

ABOUT PAHffSAESnfP:

There are NO Insignificant hunters Of
people in tie country who take pride in
declaring they are identi6ed with nc politi-
cal party. They assume to be independ.
emit in all things and free to WELD their
political lance in whatever field they
choose. Not satisfied with this declara-
ton they manifest . disposition to sneer
at all who are attacked to parties, and
..partisanz has become in their eyes An
approbrious epithet. Many OF the young
men OF the country are being trained In the
idea that the lack OF all effective relations
With ones fellow citizens in political effort
is a sign Of superiority, while interest in
party success il q mark Of degradation.
This may be a strong way OF putting it.,
but nevertheless it is true.
In referring to these eelf-glorifying advo-
Gates OF political isolation, the New York
Sun holds they can find no "~arrant 10
English p~olitics-and they admire England
for the attitude they have assumed.
Mr.. Gladstone, for instance. is a party
leader and a party man. In his recent
pamphlet on the Irish question he mentions
Ills Ouex 10 ~ uoIuIUS " AiAdSA al NJ
tempt in behalf of home rule by the Tory
government. In alluding to this offer he
says. in parenthesis, as though it might
well 90 without saying, that he made it OF
course without prejudice to my making all
the efforts in my powerto procure a Liber-
al majority There was not even a ques-
ton in Mr.. Giadstone's mind as to his
DUTY. Hewas.f for the sake ofpublic tranquil
ity, willing to assure his party opponents
that in dealing with this difficult subject he
would not embarrass them if the people
gave them power, but he intended to keep
them out OF power if he could, and would
neglect no effort to secure the triumph OF
the Liberal party"
This is merely a present instance Illus
trating the habit of thought known by all
intelligent observers or readers to be COM
mon in English politics. There are, ct
course, many thousands OF voters in Great
Britain and Ireland who are not closely
identified with any party. There is natur-
ally a competition between parties to se-
not only the votes OF these. but to
win votes from the opposition. Butevery-
body apparently recognizes the fact that
the only practical way in which a voter
can make himself felt is to assist in bring
ing the party that most nearly satisfies
him into power. Hence the value OF poGti-
cal parties as agents Of the popular will is
freely and fully acknowledged. Any failure
OF such recognition on this side OF the At
lantic arises from ignorance, indifference or

That letters and other matter may be

to try the speed of the. horses. So Silas

as judges. Mr.. James johnson was the
owner OF ": P. while R. E. Hazlip owned
Banton. The entire party adjourned to
the race track. The horses were first
warmed up for the occasion and after
several attempts at scoring the horses were
sent off in good style. Those who wit.
messed the race say it was one Of the finest
ever trotted on the West Side racing
grounds, the horses coming under the wire
even making it a dead heat. Time, BIT.
The race only being a mile dash Mr.. John.
son and Hazlip will repeat the race on
Sunday for a purse Of $50.
