Very Fortunate Reports Coming from
Southeastern Utah About Them.
Judge Powers returned Sunday from a
trip to Green River, says the Salt Lake
Tribune" and while there he learned the
discovery of new gold fields in Southern
Utah. The fields are located below Dandy
Crossing, 12O miles south of Green River,
and are close to the Arizona line.
To g reporter who asked him what he
thought the discoveries amounted to,
Judge Powers replied: eff the reports which
are coming in from them are true, the
fields are very rich, running from rs cents
to So per yard. While the gold is fine it is
not -four DUST and is easily separated.
Three camps have already been established
there, and about fifty men and two women
are on the ground. They have laid out a
city which has been named Hite City,
after Colonel Hite of Kansas City, who is
largely interested there, and has been
working his claims for four or five
months"
From all reports it must be II very pecu.

to be sold and gambling is not permitted.

many OF the bars are so high above the river
that it is necessary to use machinery to

THE MONTANA DEMOCRACY.

Helena Independent" The margin
by which the Democrats will control the
constitutional convention is very small,
but it is large enough for all practical
purposes; in fact it was the design of the
enabling act to prevent either party hav-
ing a very large majority in the conven-
tiOn.
The vote of the 18th inst, however, is
sufficiently we'll defined to afford reason
able encouragement to the Democrats
that at the state election Of October 1
they will be able to elect the full list of
officers. 1t will be impossible, however,
to do this unless the people r fully
awake to the necessity of exerting them
selves toward the very desirable object.
1t is not too early to begin the work of
organization, and organization Is what
is going to win in the approaching con-
test, for which the prizes are sufficient
to induce the greatest activity.
If Montana enters the union al a Dem
Ocratic state there is every probability
that it will remain so. Every effort will
be made by the administration to carry
the election for the Republicans, and al
ready the federal patronage. has been
used to ward that end to a considerable
extent. In order to keep the future state
where it belongs earnest work by the
will be required.

THE VAUDEVILLE POsTOFFICE.

THE VAUDEVILLE POSTOFF1CE.
There is objection at Walkerville to the
discontinuance Of the postofice at that
place, and the objection is a reasonable
one.
OF course, Butte needs free delivery.
That is conceded.
Postofices are simply and solely for
the accommodation Of the people. Only
the minimum will be accommodated at
VAUDEVILLE by free delivery, while the
great masses and those who live miles
back in the hills will be seriously incon-
venienced by being compelled to walk
down to the central postofice for their
mails, as will hundreds Of others living
in Walkerville without fixed abOdes.
Free delivery should not be impeded
but VAUDEVILLE should be given a branch
Office, not as q free delivery distributing
point, but as a point for the accommoda-
ton of those who cannot be benefited by
the mail carrier, as we'll as for the sale
Of stamps, etc.
This arrangement would doubtless
serve the purpose for which postofices
are established, and, as a consequence,
give satisfaction to the people in and
around Waikerville.
The authorities at Washington ought,
in all justice, to listen to the grievances
Of the people.

JACKSON. Mich. May 20.-Great interest
was aroused in society circles yesterday,

Emma C. Folsom, mother Of ex President
Cleveland's wife, was to be married to-day
to Henry E. Perrine, a merchant OF Buffalo
Mrs. Folsom came here on the Sth inst,
and has been quietly stopping with her
relatives since. Mr.. Perrine has been at a
hotel since Wednesday last.
The rumor was corroborated last even
ing by the arrival Of Mrs. Cleveland, who
proceeded to the residence OF her aunt, Mrs.
Cadman. where Mrs. Folsom was stopping.
Extraordinary precautions had been taken
from the first to keep the affair quiet and
very few were cogniZant OF it until the last
moment.
The wedding was solemnized at 8 O'Clock
this evening, Rev. B. Balloon. Of St. Paul's
Episcopal church, officiating. The bride
was attired in q travelling costume. Mr..
and Mrs. Perrine left on the night train for
Chicago and the west for u trip before re-
turning to Buffalo to reside. Mrs. Cleve-
land will remain for few days the guest OF
Mrs. Cadman before leaving for home. The
groom is about fifteen years the senior Of
the bride, who is q well preserved woman
Of forty-ive.

For the benefit OF ambitious patriots it

of 5000 per annum, each. In addition an

It is safe to say that publication OF the

apply for a position as letter carrier, from
becoming an applicant for such a berth.
Whoever will accept will find that the

How the Reported Discovery at EIdorado

From the Helena Independently: 1t APP

report Of a diamond discovery at Eldorado
bar. Mr.. Foote said yesterday that the
report gained circulation while be was at
the Grand Central hotel showing some
friends a wooden model OF a sapphire
which he had made to describe the specific
gravity OF the gen. Incidentally he re.
marked that valuable garnets and sap
phires had been found in Eldorado bar,
and some one who overheard the remark
miscoustrued 1t to mean hat the stones
had been recently discovered in Eldorado
bar. In the effort 10 get there ahead of
any one else, two or three men left fol- the
place yesterday.
Mr.. Foote says that Montana will in the
near future produce some # TIE finest
stones ever seen, and he added that he
knew where they could be found, but would
not say. A local ieweler. he said, received
yesterday sixteen garnets from the east,
which had been found n Montana, and
which he sent away to have cat. The cutter
offered him 50 a carat for the whole lot,
which contain tw, nty-two carats, and he
will accept the offer.

The statement made by THE MINER

The statement made by The MINERS
alert correspondent at Boulder that in
ference had been drawn, from a telegram
received from Ex-Governor Hauser, that
the new Butte Gallatin railroad line

forth the following from the Boulder
"Age:"
The BUTTE MINER has an excellent CORES
pondent in Boulder, which is u good thing
for the town as well as The MINER. Like
everybody else, however, he will get "off'

that Governor Hauser said the Gallatin

that posts bulletins, posted the dispatch
which was received in regard to the matter

In a certain Eastern town, under the
operations Of a Puritanical and Oppres-
sive law, the authorities, on petition Of a
few bigots, prevented both an excursion
aud a sacred concert on Sunday, where
upon one ofthe local papers makes this adj
mirable point against the glOomycranks:
"Macaullay says the English Puritans
objected to bear batting, not because it
hurt the bear, but because it pleased the
people. The Puritans Of this town OBJ
ject to 'pastime' on Sunday, not because
it is really harmful, but because they
deem it sinful for the people to be made
happy on that day-a day which they
would invest with gloom, preferring
groans to gladness and o to merri-
ment." This is doubtless the logic of
the situation. Those people who believe
that law should be obeyed, not because it
is right, but because it is law, should
elect officers to change their oppressive
ordinances. Some people, however, be-
lieve that a law that is not right and
just must be wrong and oppressive and
ought, hence, to be violated at every Op-
portunity. Every revolution in the
worlds history was founded on this an
archical principles principle which
caused the Republicans of %anti-bellum
days to establish underground rail.

slaves in clear violation Of the United
States fugitive slave laws, and which
later resulted in the civil war. 1t is
difficult to get rid OF bad laws; the bet
ter way is to legislate them out of ex'
istence. There is too little care in max.
ing laws; too many are made, anyway.

Scientific facts are sometimes learned
through the merest incidents. Here is q
bit Of experimentation which, il true, is
Of great value to science. It is stated
that poor little bOot-black was hired to
sell his skin piecemeal at the rate of q
sovereign apiece, each piece being about
as large as a sovereign. These bits of
skin were transferred to the face of q
negro who wa discontinued with his
natural color, the nagro's skin being
transferred to the boy. The operation is
a success, for it appears that in a
short time the white patch on the negro
began to turn dark, while the black
patch on the boy turned white.

M the Mas,es Need superstition9

From the st. Louis "Globe Democrat"
One OF the Chicago papers is discussing the
question, do the Masses Need Supersti-
toni" and declares that they do not. The
conclusion is sensible. When Cicero sneered
at the Roman gods, but averred that they
we're essential to keep the populace in SUBJ
lection, be uttered the opinion of q man
who has faith in nothing. The result was
that he went down with the wreck. Thepop-
ular credulity which is fostered and believed
essential did not save him from Cesar and
from his fatal downfall. Those who believe
in lies as essential to public morality and
popular order in these days are equally
mistaken. What we do need is faith in
honesty and truth. The people that ia
taught to believe in morals, such as justice,
honor and mercy, will be a people to be
trusted. No, the masses do need super
~stItion, for y superstition is a falsehood.

The German Congress Condemned for
Admitting Alsatian Representatives.
BERLIN, May 2O.-Prince Bismarck's
speech in the reichstag on Saturday was in
his old broadsword style. He compared
the socialists to the F~rench-ready to
strike whenever they became strong
enough. He referred to the rashness IF
the Reictstag in admitting Alsatians as
members, and said: "We did not fight the
French in order to have ourselves inocu-
lated with fourteen Frenchmen."
The scene in the reichstag between Prince
Bismarck and Herr Richter is the sole
topic OF conversation in political circles.
In consequence OF Prince Bismarck's re-
marks the liberals have resolved not to
attend the t~ruschaften to be given by the
chancellor. When Herr Reichter uttered
the exclamation which aroused the wrath
of the chancellor, the latter turned angrily
toward the liberal members, and pointing
bis finger at them, said: II do not know
what you refer to, but I regard it as an
expression of the hatred you gentlemen
have borne me for years. As a Christian |
can pocket it, but as chancellor, as long az
I stand I will strike a striker and insult al
