Tim Collins as an Orator.
butte Inter Mountain. |

lDubtc
There are but few men among the
Democratic leaders who can make
even fair speech, and only one of
them, Joe Toole, can make a good
one. Hon. Timothy Collins, however,
enjoys the distinction of being able to
make a worse speech than any OF
them, and this is saying good deal.
In his social relations Mr.. Collins
seems a most pleasant gentleman, but
as an orator before public assem-
blages he only succeeds in creating the
hope that the curtain will slip its
moorings and fall down in front of
him. 1t is related that on one occa-
sion this hope was realized. 1t was
when the Great Falls opera house was
dedicated. Tim was billed to make a
speech to the fashionable audience in
attendance, and was struggling along
with string of awkward platitudes,
when his memory failed him and for
several seconds he was unable ito ar
ticulate syllable. The scene shifter
was behind one of the wings, and no.
ticing that Mr.. Collins had stopped
talking supposed he had concluded
his speech and desired the curtain to
fall on the climax. And it fell. Mr..
Collins was shut out in the middle oi
sentence and before he got well under
way. 1t was very embarrassing, but
as Mr. Collins did not propose to de.
liver a speech Gin two acts" he per
mitted the curtain to remain down
and the audience went home in state
of painful bewilderment. 1t will be
observed that if the gentleman makes
any public speech from a stage in this
city he will carefully stand in front o
the cnrtain to guard against accident
He does not propose to be shut ou
| again until the Sth of November.

Offensive Partisanship.

When Cleveland was governor OF
New York he was most offensive
partisan" of capital against labor, as
shown most conclusively by his veto
of the following bills passed in his in
terest:
1st-The bill establishing a depart
ment of labor and making the secre-
tary OF said department a cabinet
officer.
2d-The mechanics lien law bill
making the wages OF the workmen a
first mortgage on the property.
3d-The life-and-limb bill, making
employers responsible for accidents
to laborers as the result of imperfect
machinery or imperfect construction
of buildings.
4th-The tenement-house cigar bill
to prevent cigar making in tenement
houses.
5th-The bill reducing the fare OF
elevated railroads from 10 cents to )
cents.
6th-The printers bill requiring the
state printing to be done by union
workmen.
7th-The bill making ten hours a
legal days work for all street-car en-
ployes.
Sth-The bill abolishing convict
labor In prisons, a majority of 10000
people voting for it when submitted
to us.
9th-The child labor bill, prohibit
ing the employment in factories OF
children under IA years of age.
Wasn't Mr.. Cleveland little mixed
in his Madison Square speech, and
wasn't the hand that vetoed all the
above bills in the interest of labor,
the 'stealthy hand" to which he had
reference?
He signed bill imposing a tax OF
81 per year on the stationary enei-
neers of New York city for the police
pension fund, under penalty OF for
feiting their vocation.
He signed the hill cutting down the
fees of New York harbor pilots, fol-
lowing a perilous vocation, benefit
ting only foreign steamer monopolies.
How is that for the record of a man
who now so pompously poses as the
poor mans friend that every "nickel
in the slot" brings letter from him
laying bare his bleeding heart. HIS
heart now bleeds for everybody, his
latest exploit being that of his inter
ference with justice in Tennessee, in a
case OF which the chump admits his
entire ignorance, and influencing the
governor to commute the sentence OF
a notorious scoundrel and red-handed
murderer from hanging to imprison-
ment for life, for which the governor
was hung in effigy in the streets OF
Memphis. The laboring man has but
to pull aside very thin veil to dis
close this colossal hypocrite who poses
as his friend. 1t is an actual fact that
so pitiable is the chattering gibberish
of the fool at Buzzard's bay, who
rushes i'll on every occasion "where
angels fear to tread" that Republi
cans having regard for the feeling oI
their Democratic friends, spare them
the modification OF talking about it

saylesviils Branch Discuss the Suit Bough,
ny Robert Jennings Widow.
There was q we'll attended meeting OF
the Saylesville Branch of the Iron Hall
Tuesday evening, when the action taken
against the branch by the WIDOW OF
Robert Jennings was fully discussed.
II was found that the deceased was not
and never had been member of'he death
benefit division, and that the claim APP
parently was for $500, the amount allowed
by the Order on the death of /, member
after four years membership.
In fact, 1t seemed doubtful on what
ground the action really was taten, as the
citation was simply read to tbs trustees,
and no copy Of II was left With them.
One party suggested that the branch en-
deavor to make settlement " the mat
ter and then divide the remairing money
pro rata.
This, however, was not endorsed, as a
large majority of the members were in
favor of finding out II a claim existed at
all on the reserve fund OF the branch, and
II was finally decided to empoy a lawyer
and defend the case when II comes up Sat
urday, and take action sftr a decision
had been rendered.
Most OF the members pressnt are begin
ming to think there is verJ little chance
of getting anything out oi the wreck, a,
legal expenses, receivers and contests
will pretty well eat up whit is on hand.

STATE SCHOOL CENSUS.
John Matthews Will See That the
Work Is Properly Done.

pDcCttt ~ ttt OCfo12 wy
TRENTON, Feb. "a, 1892.-The genial
Johnny Matthews of Elizabeth, Journal
Clerk of the Senate, has quietly slipped
into n very good thing. Last week a bill
was introduced and passed without at
tracing much attention. The bill takes
the school census out of the hands
of the local authorities and places
it under the control of the State
Board Of Education. This has been
brought about by the grave abuses
which have crept n the matter. In
some of the districts the enumerators
swellrhe lists in order to obtain a larger
appropriation, while In others they ac-
tually add ficticious names for the same
purpose. The bill also authorizes the
State Board to appoint q Superintendent
of School Census for five years, fix his
salary and clerical help. He is to take
the census aud report annually before
September l. He Is to select the emu
merators for all the districts, fixing the
number in each, and making rules for
their conduct, provide the necessary
blanks ana books. These enumerators
are to get five cents for each name, to be
paid by the respective municipalities
upon the certificate of the State Superin-
tendent.
The State Board of Education met yes
terday and appointed Mr.. Matthews Su-
perinJendent under the act. The ap-
pointment has given general satisfac-
ton.

other, No. 329, provides that in case or a
vacancy In the Board caused by resigna-
tion the Board can I'll the vacancy. The
act as it now stands provides only for
vacancies caused by death. The immedi-
ate call for the bill is the fact that Free

Mr.. Flynn introduced q bill providing
