MINING LAWS.
Two Important Changes will Take Effect
July 1.

Two Important Changes will Take Effect
July 1.
The new codes of Montana, which take
effect July /, make two important
changes in the mining laws. The time
for recording after the location is ex
tended from 20 to 80 days. Thus the
miners and prospectors have sufficient
time to show up their ground and place
it in shape for speculation.
Section 1915 reads as follows:
"The relocation of an abandoned lode
or placer claim muet be made by sinking
Il new discovery shaft and fixing new
boundaries in the same ann aa il it
were an original location made under
this chapter, or the relocator may
sink the original shaft ten feet deeper,
in which case the declaratory statement
must give the depth and dimensions of
the original discovery shaft at the date
of such relocation. In any case whether
the whole or part Of an abandoned claim
is taken, the dec'aratory statement may
state the whole or any part of the new
location is located as abandoned prop.
erty- If it is not known to the locator
that his location is an abandoned claim
then the provisions of this section dc
not apply"

STRIVING FOR HONORs.

There is no question but that it is
rather early to cast the political horoscope
for 1886. yet there are quite a number Of
gentlemen with long distance visages
and very hopeful and ambitious temper
aments who are wiling to peer that far
into the future. This is especially the
case with several republican statesmen
who feel that not only are they entitled
to the presidential honor but that it be-
longs to them. Each one naturally thinks
that his claim upon his party is better
than that of his competitor, and the
friends of all of them are ready at the
slightest provocation to give reasons
why his favorite should be the man.

CONTEM PIT OF COURT.

As defining the sovereignty of the citi-
zen and his rights under the constitu-
ton, the supreme court will soon have to
make a decision that will be far-reaching
in its consequences. The matter at
issue is the authority of courts to arbi-
trarily punish for contempt, under what
conditions it can be exercised and to
what limit the punishment may 60. The
question has been raised by e. V. Debs
and others who were sentenced to a
term of Imprisonment by United States
Judge Woods for an alleged violation of
an order issued by him. 1t is to be
hoped there will be no evasion and that
the decision will honestly and %unequivo-
cally meet and determine the main
point and establish Il =, ecedent that
must in future govern. That under u
well organized judicial system, a court
should have and does have the power to
enforce it's mandates and punish for
glazing and defiant contempt of its au-
thority, no one will dispute. If this were
not an inherent and recognized function
of the court, law could not be enforced,
the judges would be without means Of
self-protection, criminals, witnesses and
litigants could do as they saw fit, and
justice would be powerless. But there
is another side to the question.
The power to punish for con
tempt has passed far beyond
the class of impudent and recalcitra1t
witnesses and offenders in similar lines
and has entered a broad path, invading
or rather violating, IT. Is claimed, the
right of trial by jury. The pending case
in plain English, as The TRIBUNE under
stands it. will to a great degree deal with
the power to use that flexible and all po-
tent power of injunction and make it
apply to any emergency that may arise
either in criminal or civil procedure.
Judge Woods issued an injunction order
ing certain men named and thousands
not named not to violate a statute law.
1t is alleged some of them disobeyed the
order. They were hauled up before the
Judge and sentenced. The question is,
why this summary proceeding: What
business had the injunction to Issue?
The statute was able to take care of it,
self and the men accused of violating it
could have been arrested and tried and
punished if found guilty by due process
of law. If the court is right in this case
trial by jury can be entirely dispensed
with. A sweeping Injunction al be
issued enjoining men from robbing
banks, looting state or county or uni
cipal treasures, committing burglary or
petit larceny and the fret one who vio-
lates the order can be brought up with a
round turn and sentenced to prison for
contempt of court. 1t is not the use, it
is the abuse Of the authority of courts
that is now being tested and the public
have a right to expect that it will be go
definitely settled that IL will not arise
again.

TO SILVER.

At last the advocates Of gold have
been compelled by the logic of events to
admit that they have been deceiving the
people in regard to the demand and
effect of bi-metallism. Whenever free
coinage was mentioned the goldbug
would at once proclaim that it would
ruin the country and wac only a scheme
for the benefit of the %"silver barons'' and
silver producers of the west. The answer
of the bi-metallist could only be a denial
of this charge and the truthful assertion
meant the Aviation of the agriculturist
and the producing masses of the country.
The facts and aeures were cited, but the
masses in the east, bli ded by the soph-
istries of their Wall street leaders, could
not be made to comprehend the situa-
ton. Now, however, a change has come
over leader and follower alike The con.
tinued hard times has been an object
lesson from which there is no escape and
it is conceded by many that the only
remedy lies in free coinage. THF
TRIBUNE has from time to time made
mention of the change of base on this al
important subject leading newspaper
and prominent public men in the east
and today it takes pleasure il

According to Chief Brennan the most

there were no troops.
I'm all cases where the police were left

The report severely denounces the

hastily gathered, largely from the scum
and refuse of thu lowest class of the
city's population.

PROPER APPOINTMENT

Among the laws passed by the legisla-
ture wa. one accepting, under certain
prescribed conditions, the gift from the
United States of 100000 acres of arid
lands within the borders of the state.
The bill is an important one. and the
carrying o. it into effect will prove some
thing of task. A copy of The act is not
at hand. but one Of its provisions Is the
creation of an arid land commission
which shall have control Of the selection
and DISPOSITION OF the llAde. Yesterday
the governor appointed the gentlemen
who v i'll compose this commission, and
first on the list appears the name OF J.I.
Arlington Of Cascade county. In the
selection of Mr.. Arlington the governor
has made no mistake. He is d man who
is in all respects especially equipped for
the duties that will devolve upon him
and it is not saying too much to say that
his knowledge and experience Will be of
especial benefit to his colleagues on the
board. The position is more honorable
than lucrative, but there is no reason to
think that DR.. Arlington will not con-
seEt to serve.

plant OF Wallace K Sons, at Ansonia,
Conn. Mr.. Clark Is the owner of the
wonderful Verde copper mine III Ari-
Ola and is operating it on a large scale,
He has a smelter at the mine and needs
the refinery in his business, He also
owns a number Of copper properties in
Butte, but Is rot working them to any
extent. Prior TO the panic he had al
most completed a deal by which the
Butte mines were to be absorbed by a
large company with abundant capital,
mostly foreign. trough he was to retain
a considerable interest. The panic pre-
vented TIE contamination OF the deal;
had 1t been accomplished the intention
was to develop the mines and build a
large sm-lter in Butte. Mr.. Clark ie

lied the scheme and the purchase Of the
refinery has something to do with it
1t is to be hoped that such is tbs case
for if it is it will be good news to ever

CONSPIRACY AND BOYCOTT.


The latest opinion or decision of a
United States judge regarding conspir-
acy or boycott comes from California.
The insurance agents in San Francisco
organized as a board of underwriters
and proceeded to make war upon and
boycott the companies whose representa-
tives did not join. So bitter was the
fight waged that one of the non-union
companies sought the protection of the
court. AS is usual, where large corpora
tons are concerned. the point at issue
was lodged and a compromise decision
rendered. The court held that the un-
derwriters did not have to 90 business
with non-union companies, a fact that no
sane man would dispute, but it did not
pass upon the material issue, which was
the refusal of the underwriters to do
business with customers who also patron
lied the non-union companies. This was
the nut the court would not crack. The
act of the united agents certainly has all
the ear marks OF a conspiracy to prevent
competition and drive rivals out of bust
ness, but the court could not SEQ it in
that light. 1t did, however, manage to
say that the underwriters had no right
to advertise what was in effect a boycott,
but as the harm has been done it is hard
to see just where the aggrieved and pro-
testing company has any redress.

SUBSIDIZED INDUSTRIES.

Some of the Minnesota Legislators are
anxious to encourage industrial enter.
prises in that state and are willing to
grant subsidies in order to do 80. 10
this end a constitutional amendment has
been introduced granting, for ten years,
a bounty OF one half the royalties on
ores mined from state lands to smelters
constructed and operated in the state.
iron mines are owned by the state and
leased to operators on a royalty. While
it is e%minently proper to encourage and
aid the upbuilding Of industrial plants,
the plan of the Minnesota men is Of
doubtful propriety. 1t ia hardly the
Legitimate province of the state to go
into the general treasury and make the
entire people pay for enterprises that
will only benefit one section. If it could
accomplish the purpose some onces-
sions, such as release from taxes, or use
of water or land might be made to en-,
courage the investment of capital, but q
virtual cash subsidy is straining a point
Though nc figures are given it is prob
able, that if accepted, the ten years
bounty would amount to a much larger
sum than most realize, and would have
the effect of shutting out competition
The scheme, if it carries, will no doubt
be a good one for those who desire tt
take advantage of it, and will be cor
r~espondingly a bad one for the state.

Brought Against the New Haven Street Railway Regarding Its Morris Cove Branch Extension.
 The Morris Cove branch of the New Haven, Street Railroad company seems favored in the injunction line. Another injunction has just been obtained against it. This time the injunction is to restrain the company from contin- ufng it's work, now in progress, of ex- tending it's line to the Lighthouse The injunction was brought by John I. Good

 the board of selectmen. He IS the own

 Mir. Goodrich has no i'll will to the ratl- road company, nor is he opposed to the extension of the line to the Lighthouse,
 but is on the contrary in favor of hav- ing the line extended, as it will be an advantage to his property, but the req son of the move for the injunction is his opposition and that of various other land owners to having the street made sixty feet in width. He is perfectly

 The injunction Is brought to decide the question, and is brought against the company, as it is setting its poles on the disputed strip.
 The time for the hearing on the in- junction is named for the second Tues day in September. Meanwhile the rail- road company will probably have to stop all work on the extension until a hearing takes place and the 100 or more Italian laborers who have been employ ed on the grading or the road for the past three weeks will be out of a job, together with the track layers. The company has been pushing the work forward with its customary enterprise, and has already completed the exten- sion of the road with four tracks from the Forbes house, the present terminus of the line, to near the old Morris stone house,
