this excitement can be about. On goes

whether we are going TO tramp all the

walking tour Of isfnite length into tho

clothe the lower cliff and vanishes

But what is this mighty pit, bali filed
with vast black rocks heaped up in
hidcous disorder, like the charred frsg-

shspeless, fearful, shadowy things that

pestion of Judge Henry r. Selden, he
bought the interests of the owners of
the House patent and organized the New
York and Mississippi Valley Printing
Telegraph Company April l, 1851. In
1851 the company leased the lines OF the
Lake Erie Telegraph Company. Ezra
Cornell had control of the Erie and
Michigan Telegraph Company. After
much negotiation the two companies
controlled by Mr.. Sibley and Mr.. Cor
nell were united by an act of the Wis
consin Legislature dated March 4, 1896,
and of the New York Legislature a
month later, under the name OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company.
Mr. Si5ley conceived the idea OF a
line OF telegraph to the Pacific, but not
being able 10 induce the Western Union
Company to undertake the project he
personally undertook the venture and
finally secured from Congress an annual
subsidy Of forty thousand dollars for ten
wears. and on November l, 1861, he
took upon himself the responsibility OF
the construction Of the line. In the
meantime the Overland Telegraph Com
pany had been organized In San IRAN
cisco, and the two parties finally united
in tho Pacific Telegraph Company No
vember 10, 1861. The line was opened
from ocean TO ocean. and on March IL.
1864. it was merged into the Western
Union.
In 1869 Mr.. Sibley sold cut his tele-
graph interests and went into the seed
business in Rochester and Chicago. The
CITY of Rochester has benefited greatly
by his generosity, Siblsy Hall having
been built by him OF cost OF 100000.
To the Rochester University he was also
, generous donor, and the Sibley College
of mechanical Arts of Cornell University
marks his esteem for his friend Ezra
Cornell.

DEFECTIVE MAIL SERVICE.

There is hardly u day passes but wha1

that papers are not delivered to subscrib

The evil has come to pass beyond endur

noon, is carried past it down to Pocatello
and then brought back two or three days
old, there is room for grand kick from
both the publishers and subscribers. There
is also room for a grant bounce, or for the
placing of additional help on the mail
cars. The subject calls for immediate &C

vision OF the Railway Mail Service will take
a trip up this way he will be surprised at
the dilapidated condition into which the
mail service has fallen here. Everything il
at SKIES and sevens. Newspapers arrive at
haphazzard. Letters are equally delayed.
1t must be that there is not enough help in
the mail cars to distribute the mails en-
route. The business OF this section has
grown immensely, but there has been no ad-
dltion to the mail service in four years. It
might be we'll for Chief Clerk Orchard at
Ogden to give his attention to the matter
which is daily growing worse. He NAV be
able to locate the cause Of the trouble and
it in the right quarter.

A RUMoR is reported from Washipqto,
that Secretary Fairchild has had bill 70,
tariff reduction prepared by Treasury ex
perts embodying in the main the views sub
mltted to Congress by the President in his
message. 1t is rumored also that the bill
has been perused by ard meets the appro.
val of seven OF the thirteen members of the
Ways and Means Committee. A. tots ia a
majority, it might naturally be supposed
that the committee ought to be able to re.
port very soon after the matter has been
submitted to them, and that the matter
would be debated at once and settled ont
OF hand. But Speaker Carlisle having made
bis committees up so as to sacrifice the
trne interests OF his party by encumberine
the Ways and Means Committee with such
rabld protectiorists as Pig.iron Kelley.
Reed and Mckinley, and that on apnro.
prlatlons with Randall, Butterwortb. Can.
non and Foran. the matter will not be al.
lowed to be so simply disposed OF. With
these men on the committees before which
the question of tariff reduction must come
The conclusion on all sides is that a com
promise measure must be agreed to, as it
has the only chance OF carrying with the
committees fixed as they are. The country
needs relief from overtaxation, and the
amount OF money levied uust be reduced
one way If not in another. Tariff reformers
recognize this and will not cry for the uuat. |
ta'nab!e. They will be prepared to com.
promise, even though the measure to finally
pass tall lar short of their idea OF tho needs |
OF the country. ~

JUDGE M'LEARY COMING

A special received from Helena last nigh,
announces that Judge McLeary will be as
signed to this District. The MINER ha,
endsavored to express the sentiments o.
The bar and business men OF the Second
District on the preference that is felt an
universally by all parties to have Judge
DE Wolf assigned to the position. But
since the members OF the Supreme Court
have decided otherwise, it only remains to
receive Judge McLeary with respect BETTING
the appontee to this district and to accent
the result with the best possible grace. We
preferred Judge De Wolf for reasons so
often stated as to be unnecessary of repeti-
ton. Not that any doubt was felt "a to
the acumen and judicial attainments of the
gentleman who will come here in his stead.
The members OF the bar of this district
who have made Judge McLeary g acquaint.
ance are unanimous in their expression of
their high admiration of his social
and legal attainments and his prasp
OF legal intricacies. He is coneaded
to be the peer of the ablest mind that ever
adorned the Supreme Bench of Montana
Now that his coming here is forecone con.
clusion the bar and people will prepare to
give him reception due to his brilliant
talents. Judge De Wolf was preferred for
his special training in matters OF great I'M
sortance and frequency in this district. It
al TO be hoped that the new judge will con-
clude to reside in Butte where the bulk Of |
the business is done and where the incon. |
venienee has been felt deeply in not having |
a resident judge.

case in Indianapolis is creating q gool
deal Of feeling and exemplifying how
hollow are the Republican professions ol
friendship for the colored man. Mr.
Chandler can scarcely find words to ex.
press his opinion of community that will
not permit co]ored men to vote and elect
them to Office and sit at table with them,
but whenever a colored man presents him
self for the suffrages Of his profes sed
friends in the North on thestrength ofthese
professions Of friendship, he realizes his
mistake.
Evansville, Indiana, stands in need of a
Police Commissioner and the selection is
made for the town by the State officers. F.
D. Morton, q colored man who has occu-
pied the position OF principal OF the col
ored schools there with satisfaction, seems
to have more substantial backing for the
position than the twenty or more other
applicants, but the Republican State Of
6cers hesitate to give the appointment to
a colored man. Many Republicans OF
Evansville. especially the Germans. are as
bitterly opposed to his appointment as the
young Democracy OF Jackson, mississippi,
could be, according to all rep orts, and are
reported to be 'waging relentless war upon
him and indirectly upon such of the State
officers as contemplate his appointment"
In favor OF Morton, his supporters urge
that he is capable and deserving, the repre-
sentative OF his race in Indiana. and known
all oves the Union as the Grand Master OF
Odd Fellows of Indiana, in addi-
tion to which his supporters urge
the necessity OF bis appointment fronf"a
political point of view. So that the oaly
cause that weighs against Morton's ap.
pointment is the race prejudice against
which Mr.. Chandler inveighs with such We
hement emphasis when it occurs in Missis-
sippi But there is nothing new in this
TIE Republican party Of the North have
harped on the wrongs Of the colored people
of the South until they have almost come
to believe in them as fact, but when an
opportunity is presented this same party
TO place a colored man on Republican
ticket in the North he is downed at the
POLLS by bis own party il every other name
IN the came ticket with him is elected. !
And this in face of the fact that the colored |
men who run for Office in the North are,
ike Morton, Tor instance, men of superior |
Utility to the average OF their race, and |
Who could discharge the eduties OF their posi-
ion with comparative credit to their party. !
Mr.. Chandler points to the action OF |
ome hotheaded men in tho State and init
mates that they are representative Of the
Vhole OF Mississippi and that Lamars
are with such infringements OF
be Constitution. The slur is worthy OF
he man who made it. It will not affect |
lamar in the estimation OF men who know
i'm. Sawyer, OF Wisconsin, as stout
republican as ever lived. is not the only
ne who has the courage to avow his senti-
,ents OF Lamar's fitness for the Supreme
snch, when he said: II have had many
with him and am satisfied
e is loyal man to the Union." and he
dded that many other Republican sena-
ors entertain the same opinion.
