THE MINER ANNUAL.

Work on the MINER ANNUAL, ever al
this early stage, is progressing rapidly
and present indications warrant the
publishers in saying that its equal will
not be published in the Territory this
year.
Already a number of excellent articles
contributed by some of the best writers
in Montana, have been received, and
large number more are being written.
The ANNUAL, as far as possible, will be a
complete compendium of matters per
tanning to Montana Territory and its
great diversity of interests.
The editorial work is under the charge
of Mr.. Jean Decker, an experienced and
bright journalist, and a ready writer.

IN MANUFACTURING CENTERS

THE MINER has already made refer
nee to the fact that the vote in favor of
tariff reform increased in manufacturing
centers and points where people more
numerously congregate and have better
opportunities for discussing and study
ing this question. Others are noticing
the same fact and commenting On its
reference to the education Of the people
on the question of tariff reform.
The Chicago Herald" commenting on
these facts, says that it is' seen that in
the Western States, where the cry Of
free trade" was not 80 vociferously
raised, the Republicans are strongest,
while they are weakest in the manu-
featuring States of the East, where the
brunt Of their fight for protection was
concentrated. The pay envelope and
forged extract campaign was waged
almost exclusively in the latter states.
Millions OF these documents were dis
tributed throughout New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, and prob
ably every laboring man in the great
protected centers was reached by these
falsiications. Yet New Jersey and Con-
necticut still stand in the reform COL
umn, and Massachusetts casts less than
the usual Republican majority. In these
strongholds of protection, where the pay
envelopes and other schemes were x
pected to be most effective, there are no
signs that labor was scared by the free
trade cutlery.
While Connecticut shows a slight de-
crease in the Democratic majority COM
pared with 1884, which is probably &C.
counted for by the return Of mugwumps
to the Republican party, New Jersey
gives an increased majority, and the re-
turns from the large manufacturing
towns Of Massachusetts are a note
worthy proof of the growth Of tariff
reform sentiment in that state. In Fall
River the Democratic gain, compared
WAVH lCCfS ID AyttI, uuC ICcpuullCdu gam,
$50. In Lowell the Democrats gain ISIS,
the Republicans 84S. In Holyoke the
Democratic gain is 855, the Republican
164. Lawrence gives a Democratic gain
of S29, a Republican gain of 422. Lynn
shows a gain for Democrats of 1880, for
Republicans Of LAT, and Haverhill gives
a Democratic gain of 500, and a Repub-
lican gain of .465.
In Pennsylvania the Republican plu-
rality has been cut down nearly 10000:
in the West the Republicans have polIed
only theil usual vote, and the fact is
evident that the free-trade howl is power
less to terrify American labor. More
over, the result shows that the tariff is
sue is not the political bugaboo that
many believed, and that, instead of de-
feating Cleveland, it would have elected
him had not corruption been SO shame
less aftd the trusted men with the neres-
sary funds" so numerous.

PEACE TO HER ASHES,
The Burial of Mrs. P. O'Neil YESTERDAY
Afternoon.

Afternoon.
Mention has been made in the columns oil
THE MINER of the death of Mrs. Bridget
ONeil, the wife of Patrick O'Neil, the opu
lar superintendent of the Amy and Silver.
smith mine The event was one OF more
than ordinary sadness, for the couple had
only been united in marriage about thir.
teen months, and she was only 22 years of
age. The cause of death is not known, but
the day previous to the demise the lady,
with the exception Of a slight cold, was in
apparent good health. This naturally
makes the blow all the more
severe to the stricken husband and in
his bereavement he has the sincere sympa-
thy OF all who knew him, and who knew
his estimable wife. AS an evidence of the
respect and esteem in which both were held
10 the community the ousequies yesterday
bore ample testimony. The funeral took
place from the family residence ia Walker.
vii e and was one of the most largely at
tended that VAS ever held in this county.
The arrangements for the sad event were
under the charge of Messrs. D. J. Mulcar,,
Jno. Downey and Mr.. Leahy, and the pail
bearers were Messrs. Frank Curran, Den.
mis- O'Neil, John Cronin, Thomas Mullany.
John Early, and John McGrath. The de-
ceased was a member of the Roman Cath
Ole Church, and prior to the funeral Rev.
Father van de Ven appeared and read IL
church service. The cortege was then
formed. and proceeded to St. Patrick's
church. where the reverend gentleman
read the impressive words which are
u part Of the ritual OF the church, and
made a few remarks upon the life and
character OF the deceased. At the conclu-
sion OF these services the cortege was re-
formed and proceeded to the graveyard
where the remains were given back to
mother earth, amid the sobs of those W O
loved and to the low spoken words which
tell of the mortality of the body and the
Immortality of the soul. Peace to her
ashes.

The report of the Third Assistant

The report of the Third Assistant
Postmaster General gives some interest
ing facts and figures. He shows that the
100000 people in the United States,
and their guests, mailed 1,769,SOO,OOO
letters, or over 20 letters to every inhab-
liant. In addition to this there were
mailed 372,200,O0O postal cards. more
than 6 to every in labitant; and 1,O63,-
100000 newspapers and periodicals, or
more than II to every individual. These
figures show that considerable writing
has been done, anyway, whether there
has been 80 much reading done or not,
during the year.
