THE DEER LODGE MEETING.

The vital point in the mineral land
question is presented in u sentence
taken from the STANDARDS report of
the meeting held in Deer Lodge
Wednesday night. 1t says: An attor-
ney for the Northern Pacific railroad
in his argument before the department
Of the interior. claimed that the rail
Dad company is entitled to all lands in
which minerals were not discovered
prior to 1864" That is the date of the
grant. This is akin to the declaration
of President Cakes that the railroad
will claim all lands the mineral quail
ties of which were not known at the
time the Northern Pacific company re-
seived its grant.
This lis Il proposition which. of
course, the people of Montana will
never approve. However the railroads
attorneys may seek to twist the charter
granted to the company. its provision
regarding n express reservation of
mineral lands il SO clear that the com
mon people understand il without
having its terms eNpOunded. and they
will never permit the railroad com
pany, undo any circumstances,
TO enforce its arrogant claim.
Practically no quartz discoveries had
been made in Montana at the time
when the Northern Pacific secured its
immense gift of land in the territory.
Thousands of these rave since been
opened, worked INT in instances, opc-
rated on a large scale. Other thousands
await discovery at the hands of the pa
tient miner. The Northern Pacific
company Gould afford To surrender nj
it's possessions in exchange for undis
puted title to the mineral property in
Montana which il unlawfully seeks e
acquire. The land, with its splendid
mineral possibilities is worth more thar
the aggregate of the company's bond
ridden property.
OF course. IA people will not heed
h astounding claim which the North
ern Pacific sets up. They will oppos,
it in Washington but, if machinatior
and ~chicanery at the national capita
leave them mt the mercy of a graspinc
ssrporation, they will contest the

THE BARRIERS OF THE FUTURE

\ rather surprising display of igno-
rance Of human nature was made by a
Judge mt Camden. Pa. last week. some
members of the jury in "a murder trial
requested the privilege of going tn u
barber shop to be shaved. The court
said it could not grant such an extra
ordinary request under any circum-
stances However. il the jury desired.
the sheriff might select n barber and
send him into the jury room. all the
jurors to be present. during his stay
among them. but i'm granting this
concession the court added that the
sheriff should select n barber who would
not with such of the gentle
men of the jury ms might solicit his ser
vices or with any others.
The court. it appears, was unaware
of the presence of any irony in his rul-
ing until after the sheriff quietly
pointed out To him the insuperable OBJ
stacles his honor had thrown i'm his
way. To fulfill all the conditions i'm
posed by the court it was clearly neces-
sary to Ind u barber who was also a
deaf mute: but rs no barber was ever
known to be Il deaf-mute. it was impos-
sible. under the Judges instructions
to the sheriff. for any of the
jurors tn get shaved unless they
rttatNSu :" WI
other.
This interesting decision raises IA
question To which no one can
lind u satisfactory answer except i'm
human stupidity u p-erverseness. In
this country alone il is estim ated that
there are upwards of 100000 persons
who are afflicted with loss of hearing
and speaking. In every large city com
munity of interests throws them to-
gether and organizes them into IL sort
Of colony of their own. AS a class they
are intelligent. thrifty and successful,
living by such trades as do not require
their devotees to be in constant com
munication with others of the human
race. They are invariably skilled work
men. for as is usual in the cases of all
persons deprived of one. the remaining
senses become preternaturally acute.
1t is very singular. we repeat, thai
these people ave overlooked the very
trade for which they are best adapted
the very trade for which nature in
the penitude of her wisdom ms to
have created them. Their amazing
neglect To embrace this opportunity is
equalled alone by their peculiar fitness
for the lucrative and honorable career
opened up for them rs ii by special dis
pensation of providence. Blu if a tribe
slow to apprehend it,, there is every
reason to- believe that the deaf mutes
will presently rise to the occasion and
york a mighty revolution i'm the barber
shops of the world.

Railroad Wreck Near Butte,

BUTTE, Mont, Oct. 23.-The outgoing
Union Pacific train, which left Butte at 1
O'Clock this afternoon, met with an acct
dent at Buxton, twelve miles out of Butte.
Just beyond this is a divide, up to which
the grade from Silver Bow station is so
heavy that a helper engine has to 60 along
with freight trains to help them climb the
divide. The helper, under charge Of En-
gineer Thomas Lynch, was returning, 60
ing at rapid speed down the hill, when,
rounding a curve, it met the passenger
train. The engine collided with the freight
full force, completely demolishing both,
but, beyond being Jared, none of the pass
engers in the coaches were injured. Both
engineers and one fireman escaped by a
miracle. but John F. Mitchell, fireman of
the passenger, who was stocking at the
time, and in a STOPPING posture, was in
stantly killed, the upper half of his skull
being torn off and one of his feet cut COM
pletely off. Henry Sargent, brakeman on
the passenger train, had his ankle jammed
further casualties occurred. En-
gineer Lynch claimed that he
met the passenger engine unexpectedly
and that his watch was eight minutes slow.
The engine was sent out to bring back
. some passenger cars and waited until the
express from Pocatello arrived at the
wreck, when its passengers and mail were
transferred and brought to Butte.

CANTON, O., Oct. 25.-Secretary of
State Blaine arrived here to-day. He
was met at Alliance by a reception COM
mittee from Canton and escorted to this
city. Three thousand people greeted
Blaine with loud cheering as he alighted
from the train and followed his carriage,
cheering all the way to the home of Maj.
Mckinley, whose guest he was during
his stay here. Blaine was accompanied
by Mrs. Blaine and daughter, Miss Har-
riet Blaine, and William Walter Phelps,
minister to Germany. Upon their ar
rival at the home of Maj, Mckinley, an
informal reception was held. The early
trains in the forenoon had brought large
delegations of republicans from Youngs-
town, Alliance, Massillou, Wooster,
Wel]sville and other towns in this and
adjoinining districts. The streets were
thronged and at 100 p. m. a parade of
marching columns occurred. Shortly af-
ter Don it began raining and it was de-
cided to have a meeting at the Taberna-
Gle instead of at the fair grounds as
originally intended. The building was
packed, as was also the Academy of Mu-
sic, in which an overflow meeting was
held. MI. Blaine made his principal ad-
dress at the Tabernacle, where he was
followed by Maj. Mckinley. Then he
was driven to the Academy of Music, but
made only a brief speech. Congressman
Dalzell was the principal speaker az the
Academy. Blaine spoke chiefly on the
tariff, arguing for protection and recip-

Along the Jersey Coast.

AsBURy PARK, N. j., Oct. 24.-The
New Jersey coast towns received a full
share of the severe northeasterly storm
that set in yesterday. All day to-day it
stormed with no abatement. The dam
age done to the shore towns, from Sandy
Hook to Barnegal Inlet. by the severe
storm and heavy tides will amount to
thousands of dollars. The most severe
damage was done at Monmouth beach.
The sea cut a large gap into the bluff and
made a clean sweep across the driveway
about thirty feet wide. Before the large
Octagon house at Sea Bright the waves
dashed up over the breakwater and into
the basement Of the hotel. The bulk
heads were badly damaged all along the
of the driveway the high tide
wrought sad havoc. Everything in reach
of the tide was swept away.

A Noticeable Increase in Business on Ac-
count of the Tariff.
New YORK, Oct. 24-R. G.. Dun G. Co.'s
weekly review Of trade says: Business
continues large in volume and generally
profitable. In many branches there is a
noteworthy expansion on account of the
new opportunities which the revised
tariff gives. Most important Industries
are doing we'll. The iron business is ap-
parently hesitating because an unprece-
denied consumption is apparently over
matched by an unprecedented produc-
ton, and Bessemer iron is weak at Pitts
burg and Philadelphia. But the demand
for all finished products continues so
large that the capacity of the mills seems
to be strained to the utmost, and while
no advance in prices is reported, the
market is everywhere strong. Markets
for breadstuffs continue to advance"

Numbering Apaches.

SANrE FE, N. NJ, Oct. 25.-A small
band of Arizona Apaches, evidently not
more than four in number, have been
terrorizing settlers along the Arizona
New Mexico line for the past six weeks
in western Sierra and Grant counties.
Several posses have been organized to
hunt them, and two troops of United
States cavalry have been scouting the
Mogoulone mountains for weeks, but
without result, the band being so small
as to readily elude it's pursuers. Thus
far four persons have been murdered by
the gang. J. j. Barbara, a Mexican
ranchman in western Grant county. and
his sor Avarian are the latest victims.
They we're shot from their wagon and

The Indian Question.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Commissioner
Morgan of the Indian bureau, in his an
nual report to the secretary of the in
terror, says of the Indian question gener-
ally that there has been for ten years or
more real progress IN the right direction,
and the outlook for the future is encour-
aging. It has become, says the commits
sioner, a settled policy Of the government
to break up reservations, destroy tribal
relations, settle Indians upon their own
homesteads, incorporate them into ma.
tional life, deal with them not as nations
" tribes er bands, but as individual citi-
zens. The American Indian is to become
an Indian American. The public school
system is being rapidly provided, where
by every accessible Indian boy and girl
of school age is to be afforded an oppor-
tunity of acquiring the rudiments of an
English education and the elements of
an honorable calling. The Indians them
selves are coming to understand the
present policy of the government and are
showing an increasing readiness and even
desire to adjust themselves to it. All
the changes have been made for the i'm
provement of the service. The work of
making allotments of Ian is in severalty
under the several acts of congress has
steadily progressed during the year, 1884
allotments having been made on the
Yankton reservation in South Dakota ;
952 on the Winnebago reservation; 269
to Grand Ronde Indians in Oregon; 70
to Eastern Shawnees; and 291 to those
on the Papagee reservation in Arizona.
