Other Lead Ores Than Those of Mexico

Dennis sheedy, superintendent Of the
Globe Smelling & Refining works Of Dem
yer, Col, one of the largest smelling con-
Germs in the West, talking on the lead-ore
question the other day, said:
Secretary WINDOWS instructions to GUS
tom agents on the Mexican border have
shut down to q considerable extent the i'm.
p~ortation OF doctored lead ores. that is,
lead ores in which silver has been artifci-
ally mixed to give it silver value and let it
in duty free. But the danger to lead
producing interests has increased in
other directions. Honduras silyer-bearing
lead ores are being brought to New
York duty free by Balbach & Sons. Similar
ores are being brought from Port Arthur,
Canada, by the Illinois Smelling works.
The entire Northwest is a unit in asking for
the rigid collection OF the duty on all lead
ores, whether gold or silver bearing, in
ia, will bring a price. That point is
by the practice OF the smelt-
ers, who a.low for all lead above B to z per
cent. Below that pe~rcentageit is not paid
for. It was the clear intention of congress
to place a duty on all lead ores. as well as

A. MEMORY.

The Inter Mountain of Saturday ar
raigns Secretary Window for his bad
faith respecting the lead issue. The
Inter Mountain says:
A month before the recent election the
Inter Mountain warned the Republican
leaders OF Montana, that Window would
play them false in the matter OF Mexican
lead.
The Inter Mountain didn't d0anything
of the kind, but on the contrary tried in
every way possible to make the people OF
Montana believe that Window was the
friend of Montana's lead interests, That
Journals arraignment of Window is,
however, truthful, but when the truth
appears in the Inter Mountain 1t gen.
orally means that there is a job on hands,
that must be preceded by a little truth,
in order to facilitate the consumation OF
the job. The shrewd manipulation OF
facts always paves the approach to a
"corker" with truth. Look out for an
announcement that will make Eli
Perkins head ring and make him feel
like changing his business. With the
permission of the Helena Journal we
take very great pleasure this morning in
placing the Inter Mountain in deadly
parallel on the lead question.

THE SILVER CONVENTION.

Colorado has already taken appropriate
action in view of the national silver con-
ventiOn to be held in st. Louis on Nov,
26th. A meeting was held in Aspen on
the 9Th inst, under the auspices of the
chamber of commerce, at which resolu-
tiOns were passed which set forth the i'm
r~ortance of the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, and the necessity of the in
telligent cooperation of the entire state
to which end they petition the governor
to call a state convention. The closing
resolution resolved further:
That the secretary be instructed to
transmit a copy OF these resolutions to
Hon. Job A. Cooper, governor OF the state
OF Colorado, and that he be further in
structsd to furnish copies to the various
boards OF trades and chambers of COM
merce of the state, with the request that
these organizations take similar action.
Such general, systematic and intelli-
gent action can but lead to such a COM
prehensive knowledge of the silver situa-
tion as will secure for silver the full re-
cognitiOn to which its most sanguine
friends claim it is entitled. knowledge
is power, and knowledge is the pro-
duct OF intelligent effort. Each
state and territory is entitled
to send twenty delegates to the national
convention to be appointed by the re-
spective governors, and while able men
will no doubt be selected in every case,

ONE COMPRISES.
Bailiff Solomon Tells How the Scheme
Was to Be Worked.

Was to Be Worked.
CHICAGO, October 12.--According to a
statement by Lawyer Mills it was Bailiff
Solomon who first attempted to bride
Tschapatt, who was afterward to be
summoned as a juror. Solomon also is
the man whose confession was obtained.
Solomon turned over to the states attor-
ney a list OF names and addresses said to
be q prospective of the corrupt jurors.
Only two of the list had yet been sum-
moned, and neither was yet examined.
Solomon said the list had been furnished
him by Bailiff Hanks while they we're
seated in the court room just behind the
Cronin suspects, whom they were guarding.
Hanks had said $4,000 would be given to
q fixed juror, half to the man in the box
and half to the bailiffs.
Last night, Mr.. Mills narrative contin-
ues, the men on the list were interviewed
by the chief OF police. On man stated tina
he had been approached by an offer o
$4,000 to 60 on the jury by Fred W
Smith, q hardware manufacturers agent.
Another citizen was also similarly ap-
preached by a citizen. O'DonnelFs part,
as told by Mr.. Mills, was similar to that
OF Smiths. He sounded at least one man,
and offered him $1,000.
O'Donnell, who was arrested early in the
evening, is said to have confessed that a
person, understood to be Kavanagh, guar
anteed shat the money offered would be
Forthcoming. The supposed corrupted
veniremen were carefully instructed as to
their manner while being examined i in court,
being told how they should answer and to
be gruff with the lawyer for the defense.
The official list of indictments given out
about 1890 p. n. contained six names,
Solomon Smith, Kavanagh, O'Donnell and
Joseph Kohn. The latter is a fruit dealer
who, it is said, was to 60 on the jury and
get 81, 900 from Hanks.

A PROVIDENCE.

Two representatives Of this par er in
terviewed nearly every business nan in
this city yesterday, in order to ascertain
his views respecting the prompt introduce
ton in this city OF the most improved
electric fire alarm system. There were
of the entire number interviewed, but
four who opposed it, hence it may be
said that the business men Of the city,
who pay the bulk Of the taxes, are unan-
imously In favor Of it. Indeed they de-
mand it as a reasonable increased Sc
curity to their property. The powers Of
a municipal corporation are only dele
gated by the people to advance and Sc
cure the general prosperity and the man
who pays taxes has the right to expect
and demand a fair equivalent. In this
country the men who are selected to gov
ern are not supposed to be in possession
of any inherent right, but, on the con-
trary, to be only in a friedman capacity.
We make no charges Of usurpation
against the city council, but we do say
as the expression Of the people Of this
city,that they have not had that protection
against fire which their large interests
demand and to which they are
entitled, nor have they ever
had. The protection which they
have the right to expect, and the absence
of which deters outside capital from
seeking investment here, has never de-
manded such a hatful Of brains and
mountain Of expense as to render it i'm
possible of easy and prompt adjustment.
But the months and years have slowly
dragged their length al)ng and the fact
that We are not tenting on the green
sward like u sister cities Of Seattle
and Spokane Falls is due to the consid-
erati3n of a benign Providence rather
than to any intelligent concern Of the
many city councils of the past. Every
consideration of safety, economy in the
matter Of insurance, and responsibility to
the rights of citizenship demand that
our city council meet this situation in a
business way, OF that they resign. the
tools of Office to those who are better
qualified to use them. There is a diff
between an enlightened ex-
penditure and a rotten extravaganza
which ought to be as apparent to the
average councilmanic mind as it is to
that of the average Taxpayer. Let us
have that protection in this matter which
other towns Of our class deem expedient
and let us have it during the present
generation.

being taken in Colorado is apparent.
The men who shall constitute the
national convention should not only be
representative men in full sympathy
with its object, but they should also
avail themselves Of the thoughts OF other
able men which would find expression
in the meetings of boards of trades and
other similar organizations, and in state
and territorial conventions. Montana Is
deeply interested in the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver; not only be-
cause she is a great silver producer, but
also an increase in our currency would
materially assist in lettering the condi-
tion of the laboring and agricultural
classes throughout the entire country.
1t is an established fact shown by the
statistician, that wages and farm pro-
ducts have undergone q continuous and
marked decline since the demonstration
of silver and that the property OF the
bond holder has advanced. The I'M
portance of the national silver conyen-
ton demands Montana's intelligent,
united and prompt attention.

Does the Inter Mountain mean to say

THE OFFICIAL VOTE.

The board Of canyassersf for this county
was in session Friday and yesterday
until 10 p. m. and while the returns for
all of the precincts were canyassed the
official determination was not reached
because of contests which are held under
advisement. The Republicans made
their fight against the Eighth and
Thirty-fourth precincts because of their
large Democratic majorities, the exclu-
sion of which from the official count
would give them all they want. The
contest in the Eighth was made solely
on technical grounds, no allegation Of
fraud being made and it was conceded
by the attorneys representing the
Republican managers that the
will of the electors was evil
dent upon the face of the returns.
In the Thirty-fourth precinct fraud was
alleged in the manner particularized in

The municipal authorities of Tacoma
and the people are having a parrot and
monkey time over the reign of anarchy,
which seems to prevail in that country
of Republican majorities. The people
in mass meeting assembled, in the nature
Of a court of impeachment, called upon
the mayor to explain his fragrant abuse
Of municipal authority in the liberation
and encouragement of vice. His honor
attempted to make a speech in self
vindication, but it was SO weak and lame
that the crowd Kissed and jeered until
he was glad to be carried out on a
streteher and placed in an ambulance.
He was driven to a conscience hospital,
and in the meantime a $500 reward
has been offered for the assassin Of
Crosby, the police force has been in
creased and improved, and the sale of
firearms to private citizens has been
unprecedented.

RUN THEM OUT.

On account of the several attempts at
incendiarism which were made In
Helena last week, the police Of that city
were instructed to raid the gentlemen
of leisure having no visible means OF
support. and as a result Helena has
dumped her ~depravity on the streets OF
Butte. The profession here was already
crowded to such an extent that no re-
spectacle lady dared to appear on the
street after night without al escort,
Incendiarism and every other crime in
the calendar were entirely too frequent
and there was a general d~epravity which
deserved to be lessened rather than in
creased. Mass meetings to devise ways
and means to suppress vice and secure
the safety of life and property have been
held in Tacoma within the past week,
and unless the authorities here shall
take prompt and vigorous measures to
rid the city Of an army Of worthless, dis
reputable and unsafe characters, we
will have to emulate Tacoma in this
particular, or mystify the dead walls
with the cipher code Of the Montana Wig
ilantes. But the time to act is now be-
fore further and perhaps graver devil
ment shall be committed. The police
are willing to do their duty, but they
claim that they are handicapped by the
weakness Of city ordinances. Arm the GUS
todians Of the peace with the power which
the circumstances demand and let the
work of raiding the city Of this objec-
tionable class begin at once before the
murderers' cage is again occupied, or
another confiagration is witnessed. In
the meantime let private citizens ex-
anime their six-shoo.ers and see that
they are in good order.

Thomas Alva Edison, the great seient-
ist, is again at home. His stay in Europe
was a continuous ovation and he received
alike the homage of prince and peasant.
He is one Of the greatest inventors that
the world has ever known and his genius
is believed to be yet in its infancy. He
has already accomplished so much in the
realm of discovery that his possibilities
are admitted to be beyond the vaguest
conception. He is now engaged in per-
fecting a device for a telephone which
will bring the good-looking young lady
at Central" face to face with the
speaker. Such an invention will have a
commercial value that should stimulate
Mr.. Edison to do his best.

The Denver Republican claims that
there is not enough money in circula-
ton to meet the business demands of the
country. A year ago the bank reserve
was $12,OOO,OOO above the legal limit,
while now it is below the limit for the
first time since 1884. The Republican
says the situation demands the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver. 1t but re-
iterates what the press Of this country
has. uninterruptedly said since the Re-
publican party, of which the Denver Re-
publican is a part, demontized silver in
1873. But there are a good many other
in favor Of the free coinage of
silver which the Republican could give
if it were So disposed.

FLOPPED AND FLOPPING.

A paragraph in yesterdays Helena
journal shows that that organ is about
to flop on the lead question and support
Mr.. Windows latest idiosyncracy. 1t
speaks of Mexican retaliation and it
bows with great humility to the Mexican
greaser. The Inter Mountain starred in
the same lead ring with the Journal be-
fore the election, but as the journal will
kindly notice by reference to our deadly
parallel" the Inter Mountain has now on
the road a lead combination of its own.
There is, however, this compatibility still
between the two Republican
organs mentioned: The present position
of each is Numerically opposed to that
which it was before the election.

From the Inter Mountain of Get. 1Oths
"a month before the recent election the
Inter Mountain warned the Republican
leaders Of Montana, that Window would
play them false in the matter OF Mexican
lead.
Events have justified the prediction, and
If two Democratic senators go to Wash
ington, President Harrison should under
st md that the duplicity OF his secretary OF
OF the treasury has been no unimportant
factor in bringing about that result. Win
dom's circular instructions accomplished
much good and undid much OF the wrong
that Manning and Fairchild had worked
on the Mexican border, but he did not
carry out in good faith the policy of pro-
lection to which the national Republican
party is pledged. He promised, but he did
not perform. He deliberately deceived the
Republicans OF the west. Assistant Secre-
tary Tichenor, before whom the lead hear
ing was held, made q decision favorable to
western lead miners and providing for the
collection ofthe full duty on lead ores. This
was largely the result OF MIR. Car
ter's arguments, but when it was submit
ted to Window for approval the latter re-
fused to promulgate it, and now the report
com, 8 from Washington that he will await
the action of congress on the subject. We
have nc doubt that congress will enforce
the law in a proper spirit and in compli-
ance with the pledges made at Chicago,
which had the sanction and approval OF
General Harrison. But the fact remains
that Window has played us false. He has
played fast and loose. He has refused to
recognize his party obligations. He has
been dominated by some OF the same in
fuences that made Cleveland's administra-
ton odious and injurious to every western
and western interest. He ought to be
removed forthwith. He is a load which the
party of equal protection OF American in
dustries cannot afford to carry any longer.
He is not 80 bitter an enemy to silver as
his predecessor, but nevertheless his atti-
ude both as to silver and lead i~ustiies a
request for his resignation. The Republic
can party is an honest party. whatever
else it may be, and it cannot afford to toll
crate q man like Window, who refuses to
keep faith with the people. Let Mr.. Win
dom return to Wall street."
