DENVER News" The public lands
restored or placed in process of restora-
ton during Cleveland's term include
las, 711,25S acres, embracing an area
larger than that of Great Britain, and
equaling the combined areas Of the pow
erful states Of Massachusetts,, Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, Virginia, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania and New York. Since the
days of jefferson, when the Louisiana
purchase (on a portion Of which Colorado
is marked out, was added to the national
domain under Democratic auspices, no
such conquest as Cleveland's finds place
in our annals. IL the Cleveland admin
istration could point to nothing else in
support Of its claim upon public conf
dence, this alone would be more than
sufficient. 1t was accomplished, too, by
the agencies of peace, and is settled for
ever because adjusted in accordance with
the dictates Of right, without fear or
favor, and with an eye single to the pub
lie good.

UNDER SHELTER.
The Motors and Street Cars Now Provided
With an Engine House.

The Motors and Street Cars Now Provided
With an Engine House.
The street railroad company has, until
yesterday, been without a place to shelter
it's cars and motors on the Meaderville line.
For some months they have been exposed
to the weather at some point on the line
when not in use, which is detrimental to
the appearance OF the rolling stock. An
engine and car house was built last summer
on East Park street, at the curve OF the
road, where the line turns to the south, and
since then workmen have been putting it 10
shape to turn the rolling stock into. 1t is
a strong, substantial frame structure COW
cred with corrugated iron, well fitted for the
uses to which it is to be put. It's dimensions
are "a by A. feet. There are three brick
cement.lined pits in the center, over which
the motors stand. A turn table is placed
at the entrance, connected by a switch with
the main line at the curve, from which
the motors and cars can be run on
separate tracks in the engine room.
A waiting room or the right OF
the entrance will be a great convenience
for people living in the neighbor-
hood in bad weather. Already sew.
eral houses have been built this season
in the vicinity, and from the convenience
OF the motor-line, this section will, in the
course OF time, be thickly covered with
small dwellings. 1t will now be possible for
the company to turn out their cars for the
days work free from the dusty weather.
! stained appearance they have been acquir.
ing through exposure and to keep them in
repair, the engine house being provided with
all the appliances necessary for repair OF
the cars and machinery. It is also pro.
tected against fire, having connection with
the city water service.

ing Levi P. Morto1's relations TO labor
in this country, in that he was accused
of having imported foreign labor to take
the place of American workmen, at lower
wages, and because The MINER made
this accusation the Inter Mountain
flies into a childish passion and makes
the most unbecoming threats Of what it
will say about some Democrat in this
Territory who is candidate for office.
This logic that "two wrongs make a
right may be "Inter Mountain" reason-
ing, but it is as unjust as 1t is puerile.
1t is an evidence Of the desperation to
which that journal is driven when it
openly threatens to Islander an opposition
candidate simply to close the mouth OF
an adversary who was repeating a legiti-
mate campaign argument against a Vice
Presidential candidate.
The MINER has tried to conduct an
honorable campaign. 1t has said no un-
kind things of MIR. Carter or any other
Republican candidate. 1t has said moth
ing against the personality of MFR. Har-
rison or Mr.. Morton. In fact, 1t mas
uttered no ISLANDERS whatever. 1t has
merely used points on principles against
candidates, leaving their personality
severely alone. We appeal to our readers
il this has not been the case.
Now what has been the course Of the
aInter Mountain" all through the cam
paign? It has repeatedly sneered at the
proposition for a "clean campaign"
ostensibly favoring such a course, yet
clearly belittling it. 1t has thrown out
filings and ~innuendoes against Democrats,
trying to create the impression that
something was decidedly corrupt. and
that it would expose it all when the time
came. These mean in%sinuations it has,
daily, paraded in its editorial
columns. That its course, in this re-
spect, was a clear expression of its
disgust at being forced, by some power
behind the throne, to observe ven the
of decent campaigning, has
been only too apparent to all. By these
intimations 1t has succeeded in carrying
out its mud-flinging p~ropensities, though
in a more covert and ~underhanded
manner.
But even the forms of decent journal
ism have grown irksome, and it now
threatens to turn its mud catapults upon
the people. Character is to be besmirched
and motives assailed. This is to be the
outcome of a decent campaign" accord
ing to the threats of the Inter Noun
TAIN" last evening.

SAMOAN ISLAND TROUBLES.
Violation of the Agreement Between the
United States, Germany and England.

Violation of h Agreement Between the
New YORK, October ga Washington
special says the Samoan question has
reached q point which makes it's satisfac.
tory settlement a matter ofvery great con-
Germ to the United States, and the most
careful attention is now being paid to it
by our government. President Cleveland
has recently taken hold OF the subject, and
there is reason to believe that it will soon
be laid before the cabinet for consideration.
The recent course of Germany in Selling
and carrying off the Samoan king and set.
ting up an insurgent in his place certainly
appears to be in fragrant violation of the
agreement between that government. and
Great Britain and the United States that
the autonomy of the Samoan Islands shall
not be disturbed. The Samoans have re-
volted against the king set uplby the Ger
mans. and had him and his party cooped
up in the capital.
tits easy to see that complications more
serious than any that havegone before may
follow the present situation, and there is q
strong feeling here that it is time for the
Quilted States to take decisive steps toward
curbing Germany's aggression. The con-
tinued independence and neutrality of the
Samoan Islands is Of high Importance to
this government, especially because the
islands lie practically in the track OF all
vessels using either ofthe projected Isthmus
canals. ~
Opinions are divided as to the best course
for this 60. eminent to adopt, but from
what can be learned in the State depart
ment circles, a move Of some kind may be
expected soon, and it may not be in the di-
rection OF consenting to any further agrees
sive violations OF Germany's agreement.

Agent of the road, concerning the National
Yellowstone Park, TO which the travel this
season has been unprecedented from this

served. The selection shows excellent dis.
cernment AID will be accompanied by the
best results to the company in whose en-
ployment he now is.
The Parrot mine starts up again this

County Commissioners.

The County Commissioners yesterday
appointed Judges OF Election at the Clipper
mine, BlacktaiI and Parrot, and decided
that the polling place for the first named
place shall be held at Iugraham's camp; at
Blacktail at the Canyon House, and left it
to the Judges to select the polling place at
the Parrot. John F. Forbis appeared be-
fore the Board as attorney for A. j. Davis,
J. D. Thomas. J. A. Talbot. s. T. Hauser,
Hiram Knowles and A. j. Davis, Jr., the
stockholders of the First National Bank of
Butte, asking for a reduction of their as
sessment to $500 per share. The Board
refused to make the reduction unless he
would make a statement, which he declined
to do, and he then filed protests against
the assessment OF each stakeholder as being
excessive. A petition for a road in the
Summit Valley. signed by seventy-nine res
idents, to run over to the base of the
mountains east of the Bell smelter, was
presented and the Board appointed w. l..
Hamilton, John McQneeney and 81. II.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL,

A TEXT Of the Republican tariff reform
bill appears this morning. 1t shows to
what extent public opinion in favor Of
a tariff revision has affected the Repub-
lican leaders, who have almost COM
changed front, since the Chicago
platform was constructed. We have only
time to refer to the declaration in this
latter document in favor of free whisky
and free tobacco. The new tariff bill
does not entirely cut off the tax on these
articles, as will be seen.
1t is a queer tumble, however, and
shows a crude attempt to do something
in the direction, of appeasing the public
demand for a reduction of taxes.
Having copied 81 pages of the Mills
bill, and reduced taxes about sixty-ive
millions of dollars, it is a step in the
line of improvement, at any rate.

WE are assured that the following
moroccan is from the London "Finan-
cial News:
English holders of Confederate bonds
feel encouraged by the nomination of Hon.
Levi p. Morton, senior member of the
banking firm Of Morton, Rose & Co., di.
rector in the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Mr.. Morton's business associates, Sir John
Rose and Major McInnes, are large holders
OF Confederate bonds, and the United
States government should pay them.
Perhaps the publication Of this excerpt
from the English journal will raise the
ire of the Republican organ in Butte
and that more threats will be made. But
it occurs to us that the American people
are willing to hear the truth about the
candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent, 70 long as it touches matters in
which all are interested, properly; and
hence we venture to reproduce the ex-
tract,

Two Delivery Windows Needed.

BUTTE, October Alto the Editor OF the
Miner.l-In an interview with Postmaster
Tia ient to-day he told me that ne could see
nc immediate prospect OF the introduction
of the free delivery system in Butte. To
accommodate this system the ~postofice
would require much more room than it has
at present, and the post office rules govern.
ing the naming OF streets and numbering OF
residences have not, it seems, been complied
with. Until we have a new post office
building and t.le rules in regard to the
streets and houses are complied with, the
cannot be introduced here at all. I
think, however, it wonld be a great accom-
to the public to have two deliv-
cry windows at the present Office. There is
plenty OF room for that. Divide the
names, say from A to L and from M to 2,
and it would expedite matters very much
and save time for a great many Of our citi-

then informed the officer that he thought
the body he had found was that OF the
woman in question.
Investigations were at once begun, and
Sheriff Hathaway proceeded to the desig-
mated spot. He descended the shaft about
twenty-five feet, and then entered an inclin.

woman with Q rEead crushed and the whole
corpse coated with q white mould. It was
attired with ordinary female apparel and
had a gold chain around the neck.
The place where the body was found is an
old mining shaft on top Of the mountains
east OF Dry Gulch, just beyond the CUR

from the city.
The corpse vas buried under a pile o.

indicate that the woman had been killed
outside the shaft and then dragged to thu
hole. A rope was found in the hole, cup
posed to have been used by the murderer
to hoist himself out after he had disposed

UNDER THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

Two Brothers, Estranged by h War,
Meet as Heirs to q Fortune.
Brainerd, Mimi, special: E. G. Waters,
of New York, agent for a West Virginia
coal land syndicate, arrived here Tuesday,
accompanied by John Williams, OF Brock
vile, NO., and identified William Williams
a market gardner, as Johns brother and a
long lost heir to a large West Virginia
estate.
The property is in Powell's Valley, TWEEN.
ty-ive miles from Cumberland Gap. 1t
was devastated by the wal and the family
was broken up and scattered. William
entered the Union Army, while his
brother served in the Southern
Army. In the battle Of Perryville, one
made a prisoner OF his brother. There was
bitterness among them and William, when
the war was over, did not 60 home, but
came North, and was reported killed in the
Wisconsin lumber woods. The rest OF the
family moved to Missouri and prospered.
The old homestead turned out to be over
an immense coal bed, and a syndicate
hunted up the heirs and gave a big price for
the property. Proof was wanted OF Will.
liam's death, and a search therefor rerulted
in his being found here. Williams share oil
the property is $25 900.
