A FEARLESS JUpIcu RY

Jay GOuld's attempt to gobble up the
international and Great Northern rail-
way was stayed by the courts.
Judge Barrett, following the example
OF Gresham in the Wabash case,
has the assurance to assume that
the majority of the stockholders
have some rights that the gobblers
like Gould are bound to respect. This ia
a healthy tone that the Judiciary
is exhibiting, SO that it may be visible to
the naked eye. The appointment of Mel
vile w. Fuller to succeed Waite is prom
ising for the future of the Republic in
regulating great trusts and combine
tions Of capital, which would sacrifice
the community to their own rapacity and
agrandizement. Mr.. Fuller is a coll
scientious and patriotic citizen. whose
legal. and judicial ability can not be
challenged any more than his patriotic
devotion to the laws of the land, which
has been without faint during .

which he would levy tribute on The

AN ALIEN

What might have been expected from
the projectors OF the 500" railroad pro-
ject in Minnesota and Wisconsin, has
happened. The Minneapolis capitalists
have sold it out to the Canadirn Pacific
monopoly. They did the same thing with
the Minneapolis & st. Louis on which
enterprise they worked certain citizens
as a distictiyely home road. But these
same capitalists sold out to the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific. However, that
WIS an American road and there was not
SO much cause Of complaint asin the case
OF the 500" which wa sold to an alien
line and will be used to embarrass Ameri-
can lines which are struggling hard to
maintain their very existence. The
Canadian company controls the
Domimi IN Government, Expresses the
people Of Manitoba, the Northwestern
Territories. British Columbia and inyades
American territory on this side of the
line on a subsidy from the British Gov
eminent which gives the American
lines no basis Of competition for
the traffic of their W Territory.
This monopoly has gained control Of an
American line in Maine which places
them in closer relations to the English
markets than any of our own transcon-
tinental systems. The 500 it was hoped
would not fall into their grasping hands, |
as it gives them practical control Of the
great wheat haul from the biggest belt
for that production in this country, and
also the traffic from the Touring mills of
the city of Minneapolis. And it is stated
dispatches that the Canadian
company proposes to build into Neb-
raska and tap the agricultural section
all along the line to the Southwest.
The issue is coming to a crisis and Con-
gress should take some action at an
day to bar this monopoly from
territory.

A Lad Falls From . Level i'm the Parrot

Yesterday morning about 9 O'Clock a
slight accident occurred at the Parrot
mine, but fortunately the victim wal more
scared than hurt. At the hour named Jas.
Stride, a miner, with his son Charles, a lad
Of about15 years was working in the third
level OF the mine, and the father called to
the boy to hand Linn q block. The lad
responded and in reaching it up stood up
on a plank. and it in some way slipped
and tilted causing the boy to fall back
ward and slip through to the floor, a dis
tance OF about seven feet. He lit OF the
floor and then rolled through another hole
to a second floor the same distance.
He was stunned by the fall and was soon
reached By his father who Immediately pro-
ceeded to revive him.. He was carried to the
sustained a slight cut at the corner of the
left eye and several bruises on the head.
The boy was taken to his home in Dublin
Gulch and attended by DR.. Holmes who
made a careful examination and announ-
ced that no bones were broken, and beyond
the slight injuries referred to he was un-
hurt. Superintendent .Tibbey, who was
sent for, says that at first the boy was
naturally frightened by the fall. but that
as be regained his senses he showed CON-
mendable grit. The little fellow was some
what shook up, but after he was made
comfortable by the dressing OF his hurts he
had nothing to say in the way OF COM

Red Lodge coal fields. The Rocky Fork

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Hell
ena Herald, is mistaken when it assumes
that Moritz Koch wrote the editorial of
which it complains. MIR. Koch is the
business manager of THE MINER, and
not its editor. So a personal attack on
him was not warranted by the Ishmael-
ties of the Territorial capital. THE MINER
knows full well why the Fisks are
welded to the fortunes of Blaine and
why they feel SO sensitive when any crit
icisms are made upon his course.

also been ordered, and will be added to the

will be operated in this way: When
the electric light is in operation the steam

We see by the kilograms that the Re
publicans of Washington Territory elect
ed six delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton, when but two are entitled to seats.
Perhaps this is a feature of woman suff-

was re-enacted by the last fool legisla-
ture that did more mischief than its pre-
decessor, which did the same thing, but
didn't know enough to give the act a ii

4 Horrible Inheritance

The transmission of the fearful effects of
contagious blood poison is certainly the most
norrloieinheritan-e which any man can leave
20 MS innocent postcrity. The curse con-
tanned in the Scriptural declaration 1.-THE
sins OF the fathers shall be visited upon the
cnlloren unto the third and fourth genera
tlon," can be certainly mitigated, and in the
majority of cases, prevented, by the use of
the antidote to the contagious blood poison
which Nature herself furnishes, and which
Is to be found in its native purity and in.
faiioie efieacy in the remedy known all over
the world as Swffts Specific
called s. s. S." As illustrative of this fact
