Mr.. Collins gave tip-top address and
put himself squarely on record in favor
of making war upon the malt joints and
gambling dens IN our town. 1t is no.
torious fact that beer and probably
whiskey is being sold regardless of the
prohibition law. The law is all right,
and all it needs is to be enforced, and
we hope it will be enforced.

The Courier regrets that the ladies
did not turn out in greater numbers to
vote on election day. Only twenty odd
ladies in Cooperstown and a majority
of those would not have voted if friends
had not gone around and spurred them
on. There was great agitation for
woman suffrage IN these parts last win
ter, and now that the ladies had an op.
portunity to vote they let the opportun-
lty slip. Those that ag,tated female
suffrage the loudest last wlnteri: were
the ones that remained at home and did
not vote. Our impression from the
vete of last Tuesday is that the ladies
do NOT want equal suffrage.

| that for March she will have an output
Of $4,000 to show, besides some very
| fine specimens-one about the size of a
small boys head, recently taken out Of
the mine, was found to be of the value
Of 800 in pure gold.
Most Of the ore heretofore mllled by
the Royal came from the uppermost
tunnel, but recently miners crosscutting
from the middle tunnel went through a
fourfoot vein of good quartz, assays
going as much as 5000 per ton. The
third or lowest tunnel had not been
worked during the winter but will now
be advanced, and when it is driven there
will be fine lot Of ore to stope, prob
ably as much as 70O or 1000 feet on the
inclination Of the lode as far as opened
up at present, but much more as the
tunnels are advanced eastward because
the mountain rises rapidly in that direc-
tion.
The above information your correspon-
dent thinks is "fast colors'' and twill
wash" In any event the official records
Of few weeks more are relied upon to
corroborate it.
The "bondors" and "bondees" of the
Bloomington group of claims to the
southwest OF the Royal are IN high glee.
Quite recently their crosscut tunnel
passed through the fifth and largest of
go many parallel lodes, and the tunnel is
only 400 feet IN, thus having cut one
lode in every 80 feet of its course on an
average. They are all said to prospect
well, some very we'll. The last lode cut
ls by far the largest of them all, though
several are Of good size, say from two to
four feet wide, but for fear that if the
writer gave the true dimensions Of the
last lode crossed he would be accused Of
being "boomer" I will for the present
forebear and leave the task to some
future historian.
But nevertheless will conclude this
mining chapter with the confession that
! feel it in my bones that Boulder dis
trict ''is safe' for many years to come.

| A Large Number of Nlontanians WILL Go
to Des Moines, Iowa.
Much interest is being taken through
out Montana at the present time in the
silver convention to be held at Dcs
Moines, Iowa, on the 21st of this month.
The people of the state are beginning to
realize fully that the approaching con,
vention affords the opportunity for a
supreme effort which is certain to bene-
fit the silver cause. Everything points
to large delegation from Montana, and
delegation that will do full credit to
the state. Dir. Hough is working
earnestly III the matter and has already
secured a list of 30 pledged delegates.
He is confident that this number will be
increased to 50 and possibly to more than
that, The executive committee is trying
hard to secure the attendance of one of
the district court judges and either
Judge Speer or Judge Mediation Will
probably attend. Tomorrow Secretary
Lehigh will address communications to
the Miners union and Trades and Labor
assembly requesting them to send one Of
their speakers to the convention.
Below is a list Of the delegates who are
pledged to attend. In addition to tnis
list there are 10 other prominent business
mon of Butte and several in Anaconda
who are trying to arrange matters to 20.

tl5NdGe Rrantly Addresses a Large Audi.
] ence Last Saturday Night.
| Under the auspices of the Phil1psburg
populist club, Judge Theodore Brantly
made an address to the people of this
vicinity, at the court house, last Satur-
day evening, his subject being the "Ref-
erendum, = which is one of the pr1nci-
pies of the peoples party. The meaning
OF the word referendum Is explained as
the submission to the people for ratifca-
ton or rejection of the laws passed by
all law-making bodies, it therefore COM
ing under the title Of "direct legisla-
ton"
The judge was greeted by crowded
house, and the audience was very atten-
tive throughout the able DISCOURSE.
Allen r. Dearborn, president of the
Philipsburg popullst club, in a few
words applicable to the occasion, intro
duced Judge Brantly to the audience,
who was received with applause.
The first part Of the address was
devoted to an outline OF our present sys~
tenn OF government, IN which he showed
that the people never vote directly upon
any matter connected with national af-
fairs except in the election of members
OF the lower house. With this exception
al voting is done at second or third hand.
Even the matter OF an amendment to the
constitution of the United States is not
voted on by the people. Senators and
the president are chosen by representa-
tives, one by the state legislatures and
the other by the electoral college.
He went on to show the growing SEN
tlment OF the people in favor of direct
legislation, strong proof of it being that
the sentiment is fast gaming ground
among the people that the federal gov
ernment Is too little in touch with the
masses and that the federal constitution
should be so amended az to permit sena-
tors and the president to be elected di-
rectly by the people.
He showed that constitutions in many
OF the states adopted during recent years
have inclined more and more to the
referendum idea. Many matters cannot
be acted upon without submitting them
to vote of the people for ratification or
rejection, which shows that the people
realize the Importance IN keeping i'm
portant matters OF legislation in their
own hands.
The speaker detailed the plan of the
initiative and referendem as practiced in
Switzerland; how successfully 1t worked
there, and it might be applied with GER
tain notifications to the great advan-
tage of the people.
Throughout, the discourse was lis
tened to attentiyely, and was wlthal one
whose novelty to great many people
who had not studied the matter, of in
tense interest," and also proved enter
tanning to those who had given the SUBJ
ject previous thought. We would have
liked to have given the address in full,
but space forbids it.

SCIENTIFIC EXECUTIONS.

The reading public have not forgotten
the long and spirited contest had in New
York over substituting electricity for
the gallows in the execution of criminals
before the change was finally made and
acknowledged to be a success. The first
experiment on kemmler was performed
SO uunglingly that The sentimentalists
came near defeating the change and re-
instating the hangman. The electrical
system was cured of its defects by the
time the third victim sat in the chair.
and now it is doubtful if any could be
found who would be willing tc return to
the scaffold and rope method.
Now comes an Ohio scientist with an
other scheme for inficting the death
penalty, which, while not new in the
method to be employed, contains some
features that will stir up opposition from
the super humanitarians. The plan
has been formulated into a
bill and introduced in the state
legislature. 1t provides that all muir
derers sentenced to death shall be put out
OF the way by means of anesthetics,
which are to be administered under the
of board of physicians and
scientists The condemned man having
been placed in painless sleep, the
scientists are to be permitted to take the
top of the skull off and watch the action
of the brain, or lay bare his heart and
other vitals, and study life there.
The author of the bill has flooded the
state with circulars in support of the
arguing that its passage would
give scientists an opportunity to study
tho currents of life as they have never
been studied, and would undoubtedly
result in the most wonderful and. benefi-
cial discovery to the lasting benefit of

A GOOD MAN GONE.

Our dispatches this morning bear the
sad intelligence of the death of one of
the truest as he was one of the ablest
and pnrest men that have blessed Kan
sas with citizenship Hon. 7. Dwight
Thacher died yesterday at his home in
Topeka from stroke of paralysis under
which he fell several days since. As
lawyer, editor and state official his
name runs all through the year Of Kan
sas as territory and as state. But
that he was above the tricks Of the poll
tician he would have successfully filled
the highest station in the gift of the peo-
pie we have not the least doubt. No
man in the state was his superior in
many respects; no man better equipped
for the duties pertaining to the chief ex-
ecusiveship, few equalled him in either
orator or writer, and none SURPRISING
him in nobleness of purpose. II he
lacked in energy he did not lack in con-
scientiousness. The first time the
writer ever saw him was an afternoon
early in the spring Of 1857, when
in the open sunshine, he made
speech in reply to one
delivered on the same afternoon, at To-
peka, by Robert j. Walker, who had
just been commissioned as governor of
the territory by President Buchanan.
Neither the speech of Lane or the 9th
ers SO fully, fairly or Overwhelmingly
met the criticisms of the Mississippi
statesman who had been sent to preside
over and give trend to eur destinies.
We knew him intimately later on as
editor of the Lawrence Republican. For
number of gears he had been daily
reader of the EAGLE. As he had almost
wholly Withdrawn from public life the
state may not so miss him, but his loss
will be none the less most keenly felt
by the citizens of Lawrence and Topeka,
and by individual warm friends among
old settlers throughout the state for
whose welfare he has given so much of
his time and splendid talents.

WENT BACK ON THEMSELVES.

The course of the attorneys of the va
rious roads in asking for rehearing be-
fore the commissioners is, to say the
least, contemplate. After a careful in
vestlgation of all claims presented by
the railroads and the people, involving
no small amount of labor. the commits
sion promulgated an order which its
members thought to be just. Then
under the threat of resistance
to the bitter end, the COM
missioners, on behalf of the people,
consented to compromise of the differ
ences rather tnan invite endless litiga-
tion. This was no sooner agreed TO than
these same attorneys, true to their in
stincts, joined issue with Missouri river
iobbing house TO abrogate its provisions
and repudiate it in toto. The injunction
granted by Missouri river court being
knocked out by our supreme court, these
same lawyers have the impudence to go
back to the railway commission asking
for rehearing of the very same case
again.
For subiimity of cheek and super
abundance of gall this is the boldest ex-
hibition we have seen for many a day.
1t certainly proves that the buffer and
bulldozer can play the part of whining
supplicant, even before those whom
they have most roundly abused, and
from whose decision they appealed in a
most contemptuous manner. An in
dividual who would thus lick the hand
which had boxed his ears would be too
contemplate to be considered a
man, but with corporation at
torneys collectively it may be different.
From this last proceeding we take
it that no effort to defeat the Just claims
of the people is beneath our railroad
counsellors. If this is 20 be their policy
the sooner we know it the better. 1t is
in the hands of the voters of Kansas to
determine finally whether they are to
beg for the privilege of tenting around
the lordly castles of our feudal despo.s
or not. If by choice we submit to it our
bandage will at least be self.infllcted,
but if, when public sentiment is fully
aroused and the people made to under
stand the enormity of our annual losses
by reason of these unjust discrimina-
tions, they take the matter of adjusting
RATES in hand, these attorneys viii have
a commission TO meet which they can
not reach by ppoirtment-one from
which there will be neither appeal OF
remedy.

HONESTY OVERCOME.
lie Was In the Milk Trade, but His Scruples
Soon Wore on.

A Brooklyn man from Wiltshire,
whose ideas of milk had been perverted
and abused by contact with the cow in
its native haunts, recently engaged
himself with the proprietor Of that
animal engaged in supplying milk to
customers.
The second day the new hand re-
signed. He did not like the business
and wanted to go.
An investigation showed that after
washing the cans the day before the
water, as is usual, was left in them.
Instead of the can which he should
have taken he put the days milk into
those having the washings and started
on his rounds.
On coming back he learned his error
He resigned at once rather than face
the customers.

After much urging the young man

There are few alleged Democrats in
Kansas who still think fusion with the
Populist party the proper thing for the
Democratic party to do, but very few.
One of them points to the ragged coat
play of Jerry Simpson in the house as
common ground upon which the two
parties could unite. The point is well
taken, It's true-such cheap demagogy
as that is the principal stock in trade of
that party-but Hon. Dave Overmeyer,
The chief mogul of the Kansas Democ-
racy, says no TO the fusion proposit ion,
and that settles it.
