TELLER AS AN ANTI-MONOPOLIsT
Senator Teller, Of Colorado, is reported
as having objected to the nomination OF
Depew at Chicago, charging the latter
with being the tool of the monopolists.
Very true.
|. But what Of Senator Teller ? This
looks like a s of the pot calling the
kettle black. What Teller charges
against Depew is equally applicable to
the Colorado gentleman.
Standing at a distance as a disinter-
ested spectator, it looks to THE MINER
like a rather cheeky proceeding for a
man who was elected Senator four years
ago by the aid Of the Western Unions
and Pacific Unions corruption fund, who
was the attorney for the latter company
then and is now, who was the opponent
OF Mr.. Hill when the latter had dared to
fight these same monopOlies, and who to-
day wears the brand Of monopoly coun-
sellor on his collar, to be heard opposing
another on the ground that he is o mon
opolist and a mere servant of the rail-
road corporations.
AS an amusing sample of political in
consistency, Senator Teller is a success.
One OF these days a man like Depew may
be heard asking the Colorado statesman
question about railroad grants, and
so forth.

Items About the Graf Industry in Mon
tana and Adjoining Territories.
The Haley, Alturas county, News-Miner
OF Idaho, says that Billy Atkinson came
down on East Fork, the other day, With a
beautiful specimen of gray copper and
looking first-rate. 1t has a nice vein OF
mineral ~assaying from 500to1 500 ounces.
The sample which he brought to town is
now in Rupert's cabinet.
The same paper says that Don. Mckay
brought down some fine specimens of gray
copper ore from the Arctic mine on East
Fork lately. The miners have struck q
vein from 3 to 10 inches wide, the ore OF
which assays upwards OF 1000 ounces per
ton. The vein is increasing in size as
development progresses.
The Helena assay office has received more
gold dust during the present year chan it
did up to this date during 1887. At least
$4,000 more has been deposited since
January 1st than duringthe corresponding
months of last year. The number OF de-
posits for this year are 976, as against226
for last year. The gold comes principally
from Idaho and various sections OF Mon
tana.-Independent.
III. Vanette, a mining man, arrived in
Portland the other day from the Salmon
River region, and reported to the News that
everything is progressing satisfactorily
there. The whole country, he reports, is
etaked out from Salmon City to Wanaka
Lake. Important discoveries have been
made. This is particularly the cas- with
the Little Jessie mine. The quartz OF this
mine is SO decomposed that if it is knocked
against anything the gold pellets fall out.
Pieces Of gold as large as dimes have been
fpund. and the discoveries nave created the
most profound excitement. At Ruby Robert
Hargroye began digging II well u few days
sinre. When he got down four feet he struck
black sand that was alive with gold AMI
went many dollars to the pan.

The Court Calendar-Condition of the Jail
Some of the Prisoners.
MIssoULA, Mont, June 18.-Last night
an unusual number of people aas noticed
on the street; most Of the stra myers were
here in attendance at court, which opened
this morning. The calendar is unusually
long this term, but owing to The fact that
the Supreme Court meets the first Monday
in July, Judge DeWolf will hold but a two
weeks term here.
The county Jail, which, by the way, is a
slam upon the county, is full to over
flowing with persons awaiting the action OF
the Grand Jury, and the general opinion is
that little if any other than crimina work
will be done this term.
By the way. speaking of our jail, the
Sheriff and his deputies came very near
LAYING some sport night before last. A
well devised plan of escape had been laid
by the prisoners; a plank or two OF the
board lining OF the building had been
neatly removed, and the stones OF the
outer wall so loosened that only an hours
work would AVE been necessary to make
an exit for the gang. Ell. B. Baucus, the
efficient iailer, realizing that the Grand
Jury would meet IN a day or two and
noticing that some of his wards were very
restless. determined to make a thorough
search OF the place with the above result.
Everything indicates that a break was to
be made the night following the day of the
discovery.
Among the prisoners is one David Cava.
naugh, indicted last term for the murder
OF George Garden. The case will come up
Tor trial Wednesday morning and will at
tract no little attention. G. ". Reeves and
John W. Evans will prosecute and Woody
and Murray will appear Or the defense.
Miss Jeffreys Lewis furnished Missoula
with the best theatrical performance OF
the season on last Saturday night. Far
ron's Soap Bubble will be presented to-
night and tomorrow night, with prospects
for full houses.
Postmaster Booth, OF this place, to-day
closed the money order and registered let

The Associated Press, which is en-
trusted BY newspapers with the respon-
sibility Of collecting and t~elegraphine
news to the papers. Is in sad need Of a
condenser. Along with the rot which il
sends at all hours of the night and day,
but more particularly in the early even
ing when it ought to send in lbs best
news, it manages to force newspapers
to pay Tor thousands Of words every day
which they cannot use and would not If
they could.
With the columns of unused rubbish
which it emptied into THE MINER Office
from Chicago, last night and the night
before, there appeared, in spite Of all
pruning and blue pencil examinations,
such a plethora of Pacific Coasts and
Pacific Slopes that the average reader
must have been nauseated. Doubtless
that was what was intended. The Re
publican party is imperyious to such
chunks of sarcasm, but the Pacific
Slope" would prefer not to be mixed up
in such company too much.
Unless the Associated Press is run as a
tender to keep the well-flled Golfers of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
constantly surfeited, it would be just as
well for it to @let up" a little on the rub
bish which it has been in the habit of
peddIing out with such lavish hand, and
give the newspapers and public-its real
patrons-more substantial pabulum.

AFTER THE ADJOURNMENT.
Parades and Blaine Demonstrations in the
Halls and Streets.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The committee or
permanent organization met soon alter the
| adjournment OF the convention, and Cali
fornia at once presented her claims for per.
manent craftsmanship of the convention.
The reasons she gave were considered emf.
nently fair ones, and the committee selected
the Hon. M. W. Estee, OF California, as per.
manent chairman. The temporary secre.
tary, reading clerks, and all other tempo.
rary appointments, with the addition OF
Lynch, OF Pennsylvania, as an additional
secretary, were made permanent officers OF
the convention. California fought hard for
the temporary craftsmanship, and the Sc
lection Of her candidate for permanent
chairman causes great rejoicing among the
delegates.
Lewis, OF Kentucky, presented d petition
from a committee OF the G.. A. r., asking if
tickets OF admission would be accorded
them. The request was granted.

The New York Star isright, we believe
in its declaration that no possible action
OF the Chicago convention can restore
the independent vote 20 the Republican
party. The course of the st. Louis con
vention in nominating Vleveland and
Thurman and in adopting a sagacious,
definite and comprehensive platform has
settled the status of the Independent ele-
ment in support Of the Democratic cause.
More than this, the sensible proposition
OF the President to reduce the tariff on
most of the articles which the masses
must have, has drawn to the President
the support of the Land and Labor peo-
pie generally, and all low tariff men.

REMARKS By FRED DoUGLBss.
Fred Douglass was then presented amid
cheers and applause. He hoped, he said,
that the convention would make such a
record in its proceedings as TO put entirely
out OF the power OF ii e parlyto
say that there is no difference between the
Republican party and the Democratic
party in respect to the class which lie rep
resented. Applause. The Democratic
party has always been faithful to its
friends and it's friends nave been the slave
holders of the south.
The Republican party should be faithful
to it's friends. as men with black faces had
ever been it's friends. Let yhe black man
be remembered in it's platform which the
convention would adopt, and let it be .e-
membered that this black man isnow strip

not the party be driven from it's duty by
the cry of .'bloody shirt let it wave as

A government that could give
liberty in its constitution, ought to have
power to protect liberty in its administra-
tion. Applause.

DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE.

DRAW IhE LINE cOmEW nEnEs
In the face of all declarations as to thu
falsity of the stories that Presiden1
Cleveland ill-treats his wife, there doubt
less are some who believe the allegations
to be true. They will justify their credu.
lily by the o~ft-quoted saying that @where
there is SO much smoke there must be
some fire."
But it is time to arise in protest
against even such a time-h0nOred means
OF reducing SANDER to the basis of prob
ability. 1t will not do to use syllogisms
in so serious a matter. The broad facts
should stand on something more sub
stantial, especially in a case involving
the fair name and reputation of a man
and a woman who have feelings and
keen sensibilities, who have hearts that
can be lacerated by the thorns of cal
umny, and who have dear and near
friends who can be bowed down in
anguish. This ought to be the Ease with
the humblest citizen; but in the
Case of ONE who stands as more or less
the representative of the people of agreat
country, national pride, to say nothing
more of common fairness, ought to
prompt one to hesitate a long time before
allowing a SANDER like that regarding
the President and Mrs. Cleveland to pass
his lips,
In THE MINER Of Sunday there ap-
peared a very authentic ~refutation Of the
1t ought to give the aspersion
the quietus wherever read. Our Repub-
lican friends ought not to have begun the
campaign in this manner, though to Che
credit Of many Of them be it said, they
have either ignored the defamation or
it as unworthy Of credence.
The issues Of the campaign are fair
subjects for discussion, but it is not neces-
sary to permit and encourage the quid-
nuncs 10 efforts to assassinate private
Let the line be drawn some
