The first session of the Fiftieth con-
gress will expire today by virtue of
Democratic resolves. Nothing is done
with the tariff that so fearfully burdens
@ the people, and the awful surplus
goes right on piling up. or at least prob
ably will when congress is finally out of
the way. Such is Democratic profession
and Democratic practice.
Wichita eagle., 1888-10-20

A staff correspondent of the Demo
cratic New York Herald, who has been
travelling through the Empire state for
his paper, writes that he sees at last
Cleveland made a mistake in raising the
tariff issue. inasmuch as it is leading to
Republican gains everywhere. He de-
clares that Cleveland will have to have
10000 plurality in New York City and
Brooklyn to escape defeat. This is I'M
doubtedly mild statement of the situa-
ton in New York. The Republican
cause is booming there at a rate which
10000 plurality in the city and Brook
Ign would not overcome. AS the case
stands today, the battle is already won.

Democratic papers are heralding with
delight the report that two Republicans
in Wichita are out for Cleveland. AS a
matter of fact one of them confesses to be-
ing free trader and the other is not go
ing to vote for Representative Peters. The
Times has list of dozen Democrats in
this vicinity who will vote for Harrison
Leavenworth Times.
And that is exactly all there is of it.
One of them is the rankest free trader in
the southwest, for years open and pro-
fessedIy so, and he will vote for Cleve-
land simply because he is convinced that
the Democratic party means free trade.
The other gentleman is a lifelong Re
publican, but for reasons personal to
himself proposes to vote against Judge
Peters and for Mr.. Ebey.

The Sedgwick county Republican can
didates, are all right, not only as to the
personnel of the ticket but also as to
their prospects for election. Every one
of them is making an active, yet clean,
dignified canvass, and while holding up
the party banner in manner entirely
satisfactory to the party, they are de-
porting themselves before the public in
such way as to command the respect of
all and disarm personal criticism, wheth-
er they receive the unanimous support of
their fellow-citizens or not. Such a
ticket and such canvass has left but
little for the party press to say IN its be-
half. The makeup of the ticket is its
own recommendation and the strongest
that can be offered. No fair-minded
cttizen-certainly no Republican, can
find an excuse for a failure to support it,
and we take it that none wish to.

THAT METHODIST, MILLER. -

| John r. Fellows in war times was a
rebel guerrilla. skulking in the swamps
of Arkansas. Now he is rowdy gam
bier in the city of New York, and, by
the especial help of Mr.. Cleveland, the
attorney of that city; and also springing
from its special fitness, a leading
champion of the Democratic party. At
a recent Democratic meeting in the city
of Buffalo, this leprous Fellows in a
speech sneeringly referred to the Repub-
lican candidate for, governor as ''that
Methodist, Miller" And his audience
steadied themselves upon their tipsy
feet and shouted themselves hoarse over
the epithet which they believed would
consign Warner Miller to shameful
oblivion. Mistaken creatures. This
! drunken shouting was indeed wind; it
was heard through the entire state; aye,
and has aroused the moral sentiment of
that great people as never before awak-
ened. The cry, THAT Methodist, Mil
lerr' is rallying to Miller's support the
sober and religious vote, without regard
to previous utilization, and with an
energy almost unknown even in New
York politics. The New York Tribune
is publishing columns of interviews
with leading clergymen of the city and
and neighborhood, of all denominations,
some of whom had not thought of vot-
ing, while others were supporting the
Prohibition ticket, but now all are
earnestly enlisted in the canvass, and
are no longer, any of them, content
with half vote against Hill, by
supporting the third party ticket, but all
united in the hearty support of THAT
Methodist, MiIler!'' And many of them
take occasion to declare that now they
are in the fight they shall also support
''thoSe other Christian gentlemen, Har-
rison and Morton.
This doctrine and example will suit
Kansas as we'll as New York. We ask
the honest and conscientious men of our
state who are supporting third ticket
to note the facts which are daily crop
ping out as the campaign advances, and
consider well if their highest duty is not
to be served by the support Of the Re
publican party.
The thorough awakening of the moral
sentiment of New York, and its hearty
union in the support of the Republican
ticket, assures for that ticket majority
heretofore unknown, and takes that
great state henceforrh from the column
of the doubtful"
The saloons are numerous in New
York. The ignorant and vicious
classes" are great multitude in the
lower wards of New York City. But
the intelligent and the sober and the re-
ligious element of the state acting to-

Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1888-02-15

A NEW candidate has been brought to the
front in the Republican party in the person
of Judge Gresham wi ON a political society
with its headquarters in Chicago is push
ing to the front in opposition to the
Plumed Knight. It is urged in his favor
that since the Republican party anne to
the front every President it has elected,
with the exception of the first, has been a
soldier and that it cannot during the
present century elect any man who was
not a soldier in the civil war. In proof Of
this it is urged that Blaine, it's first nom
soldier candidate, was beaten, and that
one such experience Of him is enough for
the party. On this account it is claimed
by his advocates Judge Gresham is head
and shoulders above any other candidate
that can be named. His war record is
sood-not as brilliant as that of Sheridan
but fully up to the Garfield standard.
All the other candidates SO far mentioned
besides Blaine have no military record.
He is said to have points in his favor that
will make him a very formidable competi-
tor to the magnetic statesman when the
convention meets at Chicago in June.

ONE GRIEVANCE ADJUSTED.

Persistent hammering at a subject has
effect after all. The MINER has been
unceasing, in season and out of season, in
maintaining the imperative necessity OF
mail for the East via Northern Pacific
being forwarded by the morning instead OF
the evening train. The absurdity Of per-
hitting mail to lie in the p~ostoffice all day
when it could be ent out by a morning
train at last awakened a sense OF incon-
gruity in the official mind and Chief Clerk
Barclay received instructions to invest
gate the matter. He has done so and a
brief investigation was enough to convince
that eatimable gentleman that the change
could not be made too soon. Accord
ingly he arranged with Superintendent
Dickinson that it shall 60 into effect
next Wednesday. It is very simple. 1t
merely consists in attaching a mail
ear to the Helena train leaving in the
morning which will deliver mail to all in
tervening stations between here and there,
and a mail car attached to the train leav.
ing Helena for Butte in the afternoon which
will perform similar work. The mail for the
west by the morning train will be trans

ern Pacific train, and by it delivered at
Drummond for Philipsburg and Granite,
Missoula, and elsewhere along the
line. Sealed pouches will be sent out from
Butte on the evening train for Anaconda,
Deer Lodge and Helena, SC that these
places will enjoy the comfort OF two mails
daily from Butte. By this arrange
ment a whole day will he saved to the
dwellers on the line between here and Hell
ena, something that will be highly appre-
ciated by them. Mr.. Barclay deserves the
thanks of these communities for his action
in the matter. If he can meet the wishes
| Of other communities in his district now
suffering the Inconvenience OF delayed
mails as satisfactorily as he has arranged
the needs of this section, he will earn an
enviable reputation for efficiency and win
golden opinions on every side.

The Mail Service.

Robt. III. Barclay, chief clerk Of the
United States Railway Mail Service,
was ia the city Yesterday ar
ranging an Improvement in the ser
vice to and from Bntte. Below is
gwen the arrangement he figvred out,
which will take effect on the 18th instant,
provided the Montana Union approves.
The mail car will be run on the Butte and
Helena express trains, l and 2, instead of
3 and 4, as at present, carrying mail for
local points and Helena; also connecting
wit the Northern Pacific limited, west
bound, by which mails will be forwarded
for the Drummond & Philipsburs line, and
all points west. In addition to mails sent
by railroad postoffice on train l, Butte will
dispatch by closed pouch on train 3, mails
for Deer Lodge, Anaconda and all points
east. Mails from Helena and all points
west will be received by the railroad post
office on train 2, arriving in Butte at 30
p. IN. Mails from Deer Lodge, Anaconda
and all points east will be received by
closed pouch on train a; arriving at Butte
at z O'Clock p. III. Thus mails for Deer
Lodge, Anaconda and the east, will depart
at 5 p. IA, and arrive from those points at
2 p. IN. Mail for Helena and all points
west will depart at 7:45 a. M, and arrive
from those points at $50 p. m.

THE NORTHWESTERN.
How 1t Wont Come to Butte-An Imp0ssi-
BILE Route from Buffalo to BOZeman-
Too Much Rise and Fal1-TOo Much
Expense-TOO Much Distance.

How 1t Wont Come to Butte-An Impossi-
BILE Route from Buffalo to Bozeman-
Too Much Rise and Fall-Too Much
Expense-TOo Much Distance.
The Bozeman Courier has discovered
that the Northwestern is heading for Boze-
man by a remarkably serpentine course.
1t is to run north from Buffalo, Wyoming,
into the Crow Reservation, and circle
around Pryor Mountains, through Pryor
Gap, and south to the Sinking Water in
Wyoming, then back northwest, across the
divide to Clarke's Fork OF the Yellowstone,
up that stream to Cooke City, down
through the National Park to the Upper
Yellowstone Valley, and over Trail Creek
Pass to Bozeman. Ii not through the
Park, it is to find a route down Mill Creek.
From Bozeman it is to climb over a series
of divides through Red Bluff and Poney to
Butte. This is put down as IN easy and
cheap line to build, as well as being a very
short route with easy grades. The Courier
will not live to see any trunk line built over
extremely circuitOus route. The idea
of running up to within twenty miles OF
the Northern Pacific and then climbing
through Pryor Gap, for the purpose OF
dropping back sixty miles south, instead
OF passing direct into Clarke's Fork Valley
is rich. The road as laid out would climb
and descend a 2 to 2.5 per cent. grade in
passing through Pryor Gap to the Sinking
water; then a similar ascent and
decent on the return northwest to Clarke's
Fork; then up a 3 per cent. climb (by act
ual survey to within six miles OF Cooke;
then a 4 per cent. grade over the granite
ridge, and the same down Soda Butte
Creek: an 8 or 10 per cent. jump down
through the East Fork Canyon to the
mouth OF Slough Creek, and a similar jump
into the Yellowstone through the box cam
yon at the mouth of East Fork. That is
enough. The climb through Trail Creek
Pass, which was surveyed and declined by
the Northern Pacific, is bad enough. but
the route laid out east OF that point is
wholly ridiculous. Cooke City will be
reached by u mining road by Clarke's
Fork, but no trunk line will ever cross
that bunch of mountains. The route
through the Park is wholly impracticable,
and Mill Creek is impossible. The North.
western will reach Butte, and probably
Bozeman, but it will keep well to the
north of the Yellowstone Range. Some
parties nave been agitating a o to
Cooke from Cinnabar for years, but they
never found a surveyor sufficiently reckless
to attempt to run a line through the Third
Canyon of the Yellowstone, and they
won't.

The misfortune that has overtaken the

BONNER MERCAN co.

The danger OF keeping ferocious CANNES
about a house was again exemplified last
week in St. Louis where a butcher named
Chris Hoelcher was nearly killed by a
2-year-old Newfoundland dog he had raised
to guard his premises at night. 1t was
generally kept chained but that evenisg
was allowed to run loose about the yard.
Hoelcher chastised the brute and it at
tackled him with such terocity as to have
finally overpowered him, in spite OF the
assistance rendered by four other members
of his family had not his wife passed him
a butcher knife with which he cut the
animals head nearly off. There is no re-
lance to be placed on any OF these larger
breeds OF CANNES and especially when they
are used as watchdogs, in which case they
should be especially guarded from contact
with children.
