HEWITT INTERVIEWED:

Mr.. Hewitt, Mayor-elect of New York
City, has been interviewed, and fully OK
pressed his opinion as to what issues en-.
tered into the campaign in that city. He
said
II do not regard my election as a per-
sonal victory, but as the triumph of the
good sense of the people over the theories
OF wild Missionaries. The result demon

race: The issue was socialism, represented
by Mr.. George. against the principles Of
Democratic government, represented bv
myself. My views touching the issue were
well known, and have become better

Roosevelt represented no concrete idea
and it was a mistake to introduce a third

ORDINANCES.
The High School.

A visit was made to the new high school
building yesterday by a MINER reporter
where he found everything in frst-class
working order. The following teachers
were found to be in charge OF the different
grades and the number OF pupils enrolled
in their department:
Miss H. A. Shea has charge of east room,
| 9Th grade-38 pupils.
Miss L. II. Pettibone, 9th grade-4O
pupils. e.
Mary O'Farrell, 18th grade-49 pupils.
Nettie Emerson, Sth grade-37 pupils.
The high school is divided into fv
grades, including a preparatory class OF
46, which is taught almost exclusively by
| Miss Esther Pettibone, who also attends
| to the music Of the entire school.
The first graduating class will probably
obtain their diplomas in December. 1887.
Their names are as follows: Nettie Stras'
burger, Cora Young, John Holland, Martin
Gleason.
The following class will graduate in June,
1888:
ropsy Bishop, Mary Nevin,
AIDA Foster, Mary Hauswirth,
Lille Thornton, Joe Crossman,
George Palmer, Carl Engel,
Sarah Cusick, Mamie Palmer.
These are the A and 3 Classes. There is
also a C Class of 13, and a ID Class of IL
pupils, making a total number of IS in The
High School. Miss Belle Layton takes the
mathematical department of the 4 higher
grades, while Prof. Newill, Principal in
charge, teaches Latin, General History,
and one class in Algebra. A visit to the
High School will be very profitable and
pleasant. .

MR.. DALY,S PROPOSITION.

The Inter Mountain thinks The MINER
is real mean" for publishing an item Of
very interesting news which is OF quite az
much Importance to tine public in general
az any matter that has transpired during
the past year. In doing this The MINER
simply stated the facts as they were sent
to it by it's correspondent at Anaconda.
And the facts, as we understand them, are
these: Two or three days ago MI. Marcus
DAILY, general manager Of the smelter at
Anaconda-which by the way has been
closed down for some time-made q propo.
sition to the men who have been employed
about the works, that if they would accept
a reduction of so cents each per day in
their wages he would start up the worka
next week. The workmen held two meet.
ings to consider the matter. At the second
meeting they rejected the proposition, and
Mr.. DAILY then ordered the dismissal of an
men employed on the new concentration
and stated that the works would he closed
until the first of May next. This is in sub
stance what The MINER said, and as the
Inter Mountain has not contradictcd it We
take it for granted it knows the facts az
we have stated them. II The MINER has
misstated the matter it would be pleased
to be set right.
But it seems our evening contemporary
had neither the courage nor enterprise to
give this item of news, but with q grand
flourish of indignation it charges The
MINER, in g.. column OF double-leaded rot,
with vindictiveness in stating in plain Ian
guage a series of facts which it (the Inter
Mountain) neither explains nor denies.
The MINER headed it's first article Marcus
Daly's Proposition" But no where in the
article did it assume Mr.. DAILY was respon-
sible for the proposition, nor did it charge
him with unworthy motives in making it.
1t is we'll known Mr.. DAILY does not own the
Anaconda mine or smelter, and it is as well
known that he is simply the General Man
ager OF the properties. But for all this.
Mr.. DAILY made the proposition to the
workmen at Anaconda to reduce their
wages, and The MINER so stated. If this
constitutes IN offense against Mr.. DAILY or
any n else, we are yet to learn it.
In this connection The MINER would
state that it harbors none but the kindli-
est feelings toward Mr.. DAILY; that it re-
CARDS him as among our most enterprising
citizens, and that as in all matters of bust
ness in which the great Anaconda mine or
works are concerned, MI. Daly's name, and
not "The Anaconda" is mentioned, we
referred to the proposition as Mr.. Daly's,
and not the "Anaconda's Proposition"
1t is a far-fetched presumption on the part
of our ill-natured and mischief breeding
contemporary that injustice to Mr.. DAILY
intended OF the part of TIE MlNEa.
The Inter Mountain could have treated
matter in a gentlemanly manner and
corrected THE MINER if it misstated the
in a manner becoming respectable
There was no occasion for it
TO fly in a passion, and, like a spanked |
child, to void it's filth and spleen upon pure !
paper. By the way, why didn't the Inter |
Mountain mention the proposition" in it's
news columns? l

CONSIDERABLE SALISRI1Ry-

In his speech day before yesterday, al
the Lord Mayors banquet, Lord Salisbury
expressed profound sympathy for BulQa.

declared it was the intention of England to

Delegate Barry, of the Knights OF Labor,
declares his determination to carry the
war with the Chicago packers into their
own camp and expresses the confidence
that the Knights will beat the packers in
the fight. just how he proposes to win is
mot stated in our dispatches. From this
western standpoint the odds appear too
great for him to overcome but he may have
resources at his command of which the
outside world is~ ignorant. 1t would, seem
the easiest way for Mr.. Barry to get out of
the difficulty is secretly to make Knights Of
Labor OF the 10000 "scabs"' which the
packers will be compelled to employ in
place Of the discarded Knights. At the best
the contest will he a long and fierce one.
When ~workingmen voluntarily pit their
stomachs against the bank accounts of

An exchange says that never before in
the history OF San Francisco was such a
flood OF election tickets printed as this
year. There we're more separate tickets in
the field than ever before. Job printers
reaped a harvest. Their presses were kept
running night and day, and every available
press Was brought into service. 1t is prob
able that not less than $500, 900 ballots
were printed for the $4,000 voters of San
Francisco. Seven hundred and thirty
eight thousand envelopes, most of them
containing two and some three tickets
each, were delivered to the addresses of
registered voters from the p~ostofice, ex-
press and district telegraph offices.

The young New Yorker, Lawrence Dono.
van, who recently jumped from the Brook.
Ign bridge, jumped from the suspension
bridge below Niagara Falls four or five
days ago. The height OF the bridge above
the water is 100 feet. He accomplished
the feat successfully, receiving no very Sc.
rious injuries. 1t would probably be well
for other notoriety hunters if such ven
lures should uniformly prove fatal. It is
folly OF the worst kind for a man to risk
his life in this way. No good can come of
it. 1t shows neither endurance nor a high
type Of courage. The courage in such a
case amounts to a strong conviction that
the leap can. be made successfully. The
man who d~isregards the chances OF death
in making q venture is the one who exhibits
the higher type of courage.

The result of the election in New York is
thus summed up by the Star OF that city:
The Democrats have carried the State
ticket and gained at least five Assembly
men, besides puttinga most decided q~uietus
on any Blaine aspirations in New York
city, and have left to the Republicans a
diminished majority in Albany and a de-
moralized and sold out organization in
New York" These little mites, with the
election OF Hewitt as Mayor OF the great
city, leave but few, if any, crumbs OF COM
fort for the opposition, which boosted it
would sweep the State with ease.

Yesterday afternoon about l O'Clock
John Hambleton, a miner, while descend
ing on the cage at the St. Lawrence min
was seriously, if not fatally injured. 1t ap-
pears that after dinner Hambleton gave
the signal to be lowered down the shalt on
the cage, and when about 100 feet from the
bottom the cage began to rapidly descend,
with poor Hambleton on it. He was found
shortly afterwards at the bottom in an In
sensible condition. The brakeman who
had control Of the brake at the time says
that the brake, for some unaccountable
reason, would not hold. and that he was
not to blame. The unfortunate man was
soon hoisted to the surface, where a
stretcher had been provided for him, and
tender hands bore him On it to the Sisters
Hospital, where. at q late hour, he was
resting easily. The injuries sustained seem
to be internal, and it will be several days
before the doctors can determine whether
he will recover or not.

The modification by the Chicago packers
OF their first resolution by which they
pledged themselves to hire no man who be-
longed to a labor organization, indicates a
disposition on their part to- employ the
strikers again. They now simply reserve
the right to discharge and employ whom
they please and to conduct their business
without dictation from any one. The up
OF the whole matter will probably be
the unemployment of nearly all the old
workmen upon a technical recognition of
the eight hours a day principle.
