The recent agitation OF the eo-cnlled
free pass question nov the Butte
Miner to say:
Let there be no free passes, no granting
Of cheap courtesies to the newspaper. and
let the railroads pay regular rates for their
adyertis;n0-for the insertion Of their time
cards and the announcement Of changes,
excursions, reductions, improvements, etc.
and the newspaper will be many thous-
ands Of dollars richer yearly. II could not
only afford to purchase its transportation,
| but it would nave q handsome balance and
would not be under the necessity of ex-
plaining that while it sold its space for
transportation ii had not sold its indcpend-
ence. This is the view Of the case taken
by every reputable newspaper man Of the
country, and yet, in the general discussion
OF the subject, there is seldom q fearless
and honest expression OF opinion, or an in
telligent statement Of the situation. A
daily newspaper, which is advertising the
railroads BY the publication of time cards
and notices every day in the year, which
publishes at frequent intervals long and at
~tractive notices of excursions, changes, re-
auctions, etc. would be the gamer by a
change from the present to a cash basis.
OF course. the system has been long estab-
lished. 1t evidently has come to stay, but.
while The Miner has no complaint to offer,
it takes this opportunity to express it's
opinion on a subject which is now attract
ing considerable attention. s---.
The INDEPENDENT is in hearty accord
with this opinion. The newspapers
would be the gamers by thousands Of
dollars by the adoption Of . give and
take cash system. For every hundred
dollars worth Of transportation received
by the average newspaper. it gives a
thousand dollars worth OF advertising,
estimated at regular rates.

Friday. January 9th, in a hollow where the
snow had drifted to a depth of twenty feet.
A bole was shoyeled into the drift and the
sheep released after their twelve days fast
safe and sound. They had not a particle of
wool on their backs, their hunger having
driven them to eat it. They had eaten 90
much now that, with the heat of their
bodies. a chamber twenty feet in circum-
ference and five feet high had been formed.

A Handy Thing for Smokers.

The temper of a smoker has been ruf1ied
many times because his cigar when laid
down persisted in rolling down the desk.
Let him take a piece of card, cut it into the
thape of a tennis racquet, two inches in
length, and, cutting a hole in the melted
part, push the cigar through. The cigar
will then rest On the tip and the card. burn
ing end up, will not roll. burn papers or get

CHANGES.

The principal opposition to the pro-
posed new city charter seems to be di-
rected at the provision for the election
Of aldermen by a vote Of the electors Of
the city ut large. 1t 10 objected that
under such an arrangement one party
or the other might elect the entire board
and thus intensity rather than lessen
the evils OF partisan government. The
advocates Of the change believe, on the
other hand, that an election under this
system will result in a survival of the
fittest. and bring into the municipal
legislative body men Of character and
standing in the community at largo.
This may be q fairly debatable ques-
ton, but the object the trainers Of the
instrument had in view was certainly
the elevation Of the character of the city
council and the plan they have proposed
has not only been successfully tried in
other cities but is strongly commended
by men who have made a lifelong study
Of the problems Of municipal govern
ment. The Hon. Andrew .. White, ex-
president Of Cornell university, who
served many years in the New York
state senate and was instrumental in So
curing the adoption Of many charter
changes for the improvement Of the gov.
eminent Of New York city, in a recent
article on the government Of American
cities, says:
Ny fundamental contention is that q city
ID = corporation; that az q city it has moth
ing whatever to do with general political
interests; that party political names and
duties are utterly out of place there. The
questions in a city are not political ques-
tions. They have reference to the laying
out Of streets; to the erection Of buildings;
to sanitary arrangements, sewerage, water
supply, gas supply, electrical supply; to the
control of franchises tnd the like; and to
provisions for public health and comfort in
parks, boulevards. libraries and museums.
The work Of q city being the creation and
control Of the city property, it should log
ically be managed as a piece Of property by
those who have created it. who have a title
to it, or = real substantial part in it, and
who can therefore feel strongly their duty
tot.

A RALLY OF INVENTORS.
OPENING OF TIE NATIONAL CON-
VENTION AT WASHINGTON.

| The Manufacturers of Patented Inven-
tions Also Participate - President
Harrison Delivered a Short Speech
Senator Daniel Speaks on the New
South - Delightful Reception at
Night.
WASHINGTON, April s.-The opening ses
sion of tina congress Of inventors and man
ufacturers of patent inventions in celebras
ton Of the beginning Of the second century
Of the American patent system was held
this afternoon in the academy of music.
President Harrison and large number of
prominent men who had been selected as
vice presidents of the congress occupied
seats On the stage. The hall was filed
with a representative gathering Of
inventors and manufacturers of
the country. Thomas A. Edison,
Alexander Graham Bell, George Westing-
house, DIR. Calling and others whose names
are well known in the annals of inventive
achievements have co-opersted with the ex-
ecutive committe in making the celebration
worthy of the event. President Harrison
was introduced as chairman of the meeting,
but after a brief opening address he pleaded
urgent business elsewhere and surrendered
the chair to Secretary Noble, when the
regular programme Of exercises was car
ried out.
PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.
At the evening session Senator Daniel of
Virginia was the first and principal speaker,
taking for his topic 1.-THE New South as an
Outgrowth of Invention and the American
Patent Law" He spoke in the highest terms
OF praise of the patent office and its
work, and pointed with pride to the long
list of inventors from the south
ern states. The fact that In
the year 1890 three thousand patents
were granted to southern men showed,
he commended, that the south would soon
rival the north in every branch of inven-
ton. The inventions of the cotton gin and
the process of developing steel had greatly
aided to develop the resources of the south.
which was rich in raw materials. The last
decade OF southern progress had been q
revelation and a revolution. Intermixture
of southern brains and northern capital
would soon make the south the FL Dorado
of modern invention.
A RECEPTION.
A delightful card reception was given to-
night to visiting inventors and manufact-
urerS by Secretary Noble and Patent Com
missioner Mitchell. The reception was held
in the patent Office and was largely attended.
The secretary and commissioners were
assisted in receiving by their wives, the wife
of Attorney General Miller, the wife of the
assistant commissioner Of patents, and a
large number of other ladies prominent in
official and social circles. The reception
party stood in the rotunda of the building at
tue main entrance. All of the corridors of
the building were brilliantly illuminated
with electric lights, and the interior of the
building was deliberately decorated with
bunting and flags of all nations. An or
chestra was stationed in one Of the corridors
and rendered various selections Many of
the guests went upstairs to visit the exhibit
ton of models

Judge Maddox Will Allow No Re-
traction Male in Court.
ROME, GA, April s.-With the two sick
jurors resting in arm rocking chairs, sup
ported by pillows, and a court house
crowded almost to suffocation with eager
spectators. the Mckee trial was resumed
this morning. The great crowd came for
a double purpose-that of hearing the
speeches in the case and of seeing if Col.
Fry would make the public retraction de-
manded Of him by Mr.. Deitz. 1t was Judge
Maddox who poured oil on the troubled
waters.
THE JUDGE GIVES A WARNING.
81 am informed" said he, that threats
OF violence are offered a certain attorney
unless he makes a retraction. No retraction
shall be made in this court, and il any one
comes here armed, and l can find him, he
shall be fined 81 900 and be given twelve
months in the county chain-gang and
six months in jail" That set
tied it. There was no trouble and there
will be none.
Col. Fry then resumed his argument.
Mr.. McKenny and Col. j. T. Wright, for
the prosecution, spoke until late this alter
noon. Seaborn Wright, the gifted orator,
then began for the defense, and court ad-
journed before he had concluded. By
tomorrow noon the case will probably be
given to the jury.

HARRISON'S TRIP SOUTH.
WANAAfAKER AND T7ACY HIS
LEADING SIDE LIGHTS.

Uncle Jerry Rusk and Secretary Blaine
Both Over.oo <ed When the Invita-
tions Were Eeing Issued-Secretary
Mobiles Invitation so Cool that He
Had No Difficulty in Declining it.
WASHINGTON, April S.-Postmaster Gen
sral Wanamaker and Secretary Tracy are
the only members of the cabinet announced
as having accepted the Presidents invita-
ton to go south and west with him on the
great tour for 1892. 1t is said that Uncle
Jerry Rusk, as well as Secretary Blaine.
was omitted in the distribution of invita-
lions. President Harrison did not propose
70 furnish free tour for two of his
rivals. Secretary Foster must stay here to
keep the regular Harrison machine. Secre-
tary Proctor, if he remains in the Harrison
cabinet, will not go because he has Just
taken trip, and Attorney General Miller
for the same reason, while Secretary Noble,
81 is said, did not receive an invitation so
urgent that he had any great difficulty in
declining it.
HARRISON MEANS BUSINESS.
The President means business this trip.
The Postmaster General Will really be his
most important guest, if he is not at the
last minute kept here by some sudden
emergency. 1t will be rather difficult, how
ever, for the postoff1ce department to de-
velop any business OF an Importance equal
to that of the Presidents and as a re-
minder to the postmasters of their
manifest and bounden duty in 1892 the
Postmaster General IS almost indispensable. |
The President is already at work on the |
little speeches he will make at the different
stopping places on his intinersry. He is a
good impromptu speaker for ordinary occa-
sions, but the opening Of campaign is not
an ordinary occasion.
THE LADIES OF THE PARTY.
At first it was thought that no ladies
would go on the Presidents trip. but it APP
pears that Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Mckee and
Mrs. Dimmick are now thinking Of going,
and possibly Mira. Wanamaksr and Mrs
Wilmerding. Mrs. Mckee would postpone
her European trip SO as to go about the
same time as Mrs. Wanamaker
