MAHONEllAS A SOUTHERN BOSS.
Events subsequent to the conference
of the National Republican Committee
with Malone, held a few days ago,
show that the administration has com
pletesy surrendered to the willy little
boss of Virginia, remarks the sSatur-
day Globe" Appointments are now
being made just as he may dictate,
mainly from the ranks Of his own. fol-
lowers, occasionally from among those
who have heretofore opposed him. In
the latter cases, the men chosen are evil
IDENTIFY those who can be depended upon
to do his bidding in return for fayors re-
ceived.
ALI this was arranged, not only by the
representatives of the President of the
United States, but evidently with his
counsel and advice. In other words, the
Federal patronage in a great state is
practically turned over to a man who
has disgraced that state, as a result of a
mere bargain and sale. Whether Ma
hone will run the risk of making him
self a candidate for governor of Vir-
ginia at the next election depends en-
tirely upon himself; he can do so IL he
chooses, or he can decline and let some
body else become the sacrifice. a.. ga
In any event the President Of the
United States has by this one act-if he
had committed no ~other-showD the size
of the man and his appreciation of the
great trust confided in him. . -

Another Earnest Protest Against the
Further Continuance of the Parade of
immortality.
BUTTE, Angus 13.-[To the Editor Of
The Miner. lit is observed with a great
degree of satisfaction that there is at least
one fearless citizen OF Butte, who has the
moral courage to enter a digniied though
earnest protest against the shameful exhi-
bition OF gross immortality which publicly
exists on Park street, Immediately east of
Main.
The development of individual interests
in that vicinity has recently stimulated
public improvement to the extent OF par
TALLY abating the evil, but it also served to
greater prominence to the lofty castle OF
infamy which still remains. The abandon
and brazen effrontery of the inmates m
the moral degradation which it e%ngenders. is
a matter of public notoriety, and in JUS
tice to neighbors and families who respect
decency and morality. this den Of iniquity
should at once be suppressed orits habitutes
be compelled to assume some degree of vir-
tue, even though they have it not.
The evils which are p~ropagated by this
disreputable class through a lack OF Off
cial restraint, is being u~nfavorably com-
mented upon, even by those who make no
~extravagant pretentions a being models
OF virtue and refinement. 1t must indeed
be a man possessed of villainous instincts
who can note unmoved, by one emotion Of
regret or pity: for the many littI rosebuds
of innocent childhood, who arr daily per-
mitted to come in contact with The poison
GUS exhalations of these dens Of vice and
misery. CITIZEN.

THE MYSTERY DEEpENs.


Verify, there are wheels within wheels
A possible key to the solution of the tenn.
porary capital mystery is found in the
following from the Missoula Item" of
the 18th:
Dispatches received late this afternoon
from the constitutional convention state
that that body this afternoon finally de-
cided on Helena as the temporary capital
OF the new state. This is equivalent to re-
tanning the permanent capital. The dis
patches also indicated that Missoula is
sure for the state university, which will be
permanent, and will be OF much more bene.
fit to our town than the temporary loca-
ton Of the capital. From here it looks as
though the Missoula delegation held the bal
ance Of power and made it's own terms.
And yet-and yet, it can hardly be. A
glance at the vote shows that Bickford,
Hatch, Kennedy, Marshall, Marion and
Ramsdell, Missoula's delegates, voted nay
on the amendment of Kanouse, providing
that the temporary capital shall remain
at Helena.
This only adds to the mystery; and the
suggestion that it was pre-arranged that
Missoula should have the state university
instead of the capital does not help to
unravel the tangle, at all.

Senator Stewart thinks suficientat-
tention is not paid by the people of the
Northwest, to the discussion of the silver
question. He is doubtless right, in this
The MINER has recognized this fact, and
has endeavored to arouse a sentiment on
this subject. While the Northwest is not
entirely depending on the silver con-
sumption and output. it does, neverthe-
less, realize that its interests are largely
interviewer with the public reception of
that precious metal. For this reason,
the people of the West owe it to them
selves and the public to urge upon the
general attention the Importance and
wisdom Of securing for this metal as ex-
tensive circulation as possible. Such a
result would benefit the whole country.

that such was their intention unless q

The first gang OF men who quit work were
those employed near the corner OF Wyom'

that the contractors had telegraphed to

HARRISON AND THE SOUTH.

/ nAshAsON AMI IHE SuUIns
The New York Saturday Globe" re.
marks that the movements inaugurated
by Mr.. Brewer Of North Carolina, to
elect an Independent Speaker from some
OF the white Republicans Of the South
appears to have died still-born. 1t was
plainly, from the first, a mere scheme to
extort patronage from the administers
ton. In this respect it will no doubt
prove a success, as it entirely accords
with the dimensions and ideas of the
man who is now President Of the United
States.
But the Republicans of the House,
and the dictators who are behind them
that is, the protected manufacturers Of
the country-have no intention Of per-
hitting such a movement to gain any
strength. They have too much at stake
to permit this. They have in the House
too many men who have been faithful to
them through all these years, and in
whom they may put their trust, without
risk, to permit themselves for a moment
to consider a few boiling white Republic
cans in the South, who have neither 80
cial position at home, ability, numbers
or power to enforce any schemes which
might come into their heads.
1t may be put down as certain that
when the Republicans organize the
House they will do so with some man
like Reed, or Mckinley, or CannOn-men
whom the protected interests have long
and who are not likely at any
to undertake to throw off their
shackles.

Open Your windows at Night.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread oil
| night air. What air can we breathe at
night but night air? The choice is between
pure night air from without and foul air
from within. Most people prefer the latter
AN unaccountable choice. What will
they say il it is proved to be true thatfuliy
one-half OF all the diseases we suffer from
are occasioned from people sleeping with
their windows shut? An open window
most nights in tie year can never hurt
anyone. In great cities night air is
often the best and purest to be had in
twenty.four hours. One could better
understand shutting the windows in
town during the day than during the night
for the sake of the sick. The absence Of
smoke, the quiet, attend to make the night
the best time for airing the patient. One
of our highest medical authorities on con.
sumption and climate has told me that the
air in London is never so good as after 10
O'Clock at night. Always air your room
then, then from the outside air il possible.
Windows are made to open, doors are
made to shut-a truth that seems difficult
to apprehension. Every room must be
aired from without, every passage from
within. -[Sanitary World.

Truckee Burned to the Groand Monday
Afternoon-The Losses.


SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.-News has
been received here that a fire broke ont in
Truckee late this afternoon and burned
thirty-ive buildings in the business por-
tion OF the town. The flames we're first
discovered in the residence Of Engineer
Dilley, Of the Southern Pacific railroad
company. A freight train which was
stationed at Summit wss dispatched to
the scene of the confagration and lent
much assistance in suppressing the FIRE.
Among the buildings burned were the
public school house. two churches and the
American hotel. The amount OF losse
which is necessarily very large. has not yet
been learned. The citizens OF Truckee have
lately been Kidding the town questionable,
characters and the impression prevailed in
Sacramento that the fire vas started by
i~ncendiaries. What little news has been
received from the unfortunate town does
not confirm this theory.
TRuCKEE, CAL, August ia disastrous
fire occurred yesterday afternoon, burning
east OF Bridge street and north OF the
railroad to the round house. The Ameri-
can hotel, Twins livery stable, Methodist
and Catholic churches, two school houses,
Ellen's lumber yard, Good Templars' hall
and thirty dwellings were burned, rendering
many families homeless. The loss is $751;

THE OSCEOLA PALACE.
One of the Biggest Placer Mines of the
World in Nevada.

One of the Biggest Placer Mines of the
World in Nevada.
/ From the Virginia City "Enterprise:'' In
White Pine county, Nevada, on the west.
ern flank of Mount Wheeler, is one OF the
largest placer mines in the world. This
piece OF placer ground is a mile and O half
long and averages 1900 feet wide. The
gravel has a depth OF from 45 to 265 feet.
1t has been thoroughly prospected by
means OF shafts and washings in the shape
of cuts. The great drawback heretofore to
mining it has been the lack of water. In
the early days the owners managed to get
n small head of water upon the ground for
a short time each season, and up to 1886
there had been taken out by hydraulic
$2O,715. 10 1887 they washed out So.
600 and in 1888 $12, 800 with small heads
of water a few hours a day for a short time
each cal.
Now they have under way a ditch "a
miles long that will give them 1000 inches
OF water daily for seven months in the
year. The gravel heretofore has AVERAGED
urom top to bottom) from Fl to % cents
a cubic yard; but counting it at Is cents a
yard, they will be able to wash out $780,
600 each season, and at this rate the
ground will last fifty years.
MOI only does the gravel contain much
fine gold, but also many nuggets. These
nuggets weigh from an ounce or two upinto
the pounds. One nugget found some years
ago weighed twenty -four pounds. The
gravel is not the smooth, rounded kind
found in California; it is merely decom-
posed material and angular fragments of
quartz from an immense vein above on the
side OF Mount Wheeler (Jeff Davis Peak.
In this mountain will probably vet be
the greatest gold mine on the con.
tinent.
The quartz veins now to be seen above
the placer ground are rich in gold, but it is |
supposed that a still richer vein has been |
up by the sliding debris. It is |
thought that the hydraulic pipes will soon
lay this bare. The existence of such a
vein is indicated by the finding OF q seven.
nugget at a hight of twenty |
feet above bedrock.
The Osceola mines are principally owned
by Salt Lakers. Once they are properly
opened in both the quartz and placer
all the mines of Deadwood and the |
Black Hills will be obliged to take a back |
seat. 1t is at this place that there was a
call some time ago for dry washers, but
with the 1900 inches OF water that the
new ditch will carry no such machine will
be wanted.

STREET CAR MOTIVE POWER.

STREET CAR MOTIVE POWER.
The leading Southern magazine,
Dixie" declares that the old-time street
car, with horses as a motive power, will
soon be a thing Of the past, at least in
progressive cities. Ii
A street railway journal has obtained
some interesting information as to the
views of many lines on future motor
power. In response to very extended
inquiries several hundred replies were
received, stating the ideas Of those in
authority as to the continuance or dis
continuance Of horses on their roads.
Eighty-two per cent. give it out that
they contemplate the substitution OF
either electricity or mechanical power
for their horses. T~hirty-four per cent.
definitely prefer electricity, and sixteen
are equally definite in favor of some
other artificial force.
The facts elected by the inquiries re-
feffed to by "Dixie," are borne out here
in Butte, where steam has been, within
a year, entirely substituted for horse
power, on the different lines. And there
is every reason to believe that the change
is a satisfactory one in every respect.
