AS AN EDITOR.
Extracts Of Articles That T. NJ. Joues
Wrote for McLaushlin's Paper.

New York, Nov. 1.-TWO editorials. a.
well as some small Items from the pen OF
Thomas Merrick Jones, appeared In the
Irish Republic during the absence OF e.
o. Mclaughlin. editor OF that paper.
through Illness. one, headed I'm
masked" denounced Joseph Chamberlain,
British colonial secretary. In unmeasured
terms, Just after he had landed In New
York on his recent visit here. IL Is said
that the result Of this article was to have
Chamberlain placed under the protection
of detectives during his stay In America.
The editorial, which occasioned the great
est excitement among Irishmen and de-
nunciation by them generally. was pub
lished In the Irish Republic on Sept IL
last the week after DR.. Thomas CAL
lagher, who was released from Portland
prison. had arrived here. Jones was one
OF the amnesty committee which received
Gallagher. and his denuneiation OF the
Doctors prison treatment was bitter In
tho extreme.
In the next issue OF the paper he had
published an editorial article headed
Strike Her to the Heart" which refers
to Englands treatment OF Gallagher and
other political prisoners In English jails.
In conclusion, the editorial says: "A stu
further duty rests upon the Irishmen.
They can't afford to sit down and whine
about their woes. Whining will neither
release Or. Gallagher from DR.. Wilson's
asylum In Amityville nor avenge him and
his fellow sufferers. We must be up and
doing and drive the tears back TO our
hearts. and set about teaching England
lesson that she will ever remember. No
more mercy should be shown England
than to a wild beast and for every eye We
should have an eye and for every tooth
tooth. This is the day OF vengeance.
Strike her to the heart"

Cleveland, Nov. l4.-National Repub-
lican Committeeman Henry c. Payne.
chairman OF the Chicago headquarters,
arrived in the city from New York to-
day. and with Gen. w. NJ. Osborne Of
the New York headquarters. who came
up from Canton last night. held a long
conference with Hon. NJ. A. Hanna In
the latter's private Office In the Perry
Payne building. II Is stated that
among other subjects OF discussion
was the forming Of plans In connec-
tion with the future of the republican
organization. Al the conclusion Of the
conference General Osborne was asked
by reporter: HAS Major Mckinley
commenced considering cabinet possi-
bllities?"
II guess that Is about the only thing
agitating his mind nowadays. He real
izes that he has hard task on his
hands"
Would ex-President Harrison be
acceptable to the McKinleyites for the
secretary Of state portfolio?"
Most certainly; but l do not believe
he would accept II. His law partner
has given Il out that Harrison would
not be IN a position to accept the
honor. All kinds Of rumors are In the
air about secretary Of the treasury. II
goes without saying that Hanna can
have anything he wants. The point Is.
does he want anything? 1t may take
Mr.. Mckinley until a week before his
Inauguration before he will have de-
cided on a complete makeup OF his
cabinet"
III the permanent headquarters Of
the organization goes to Washington.

The question Of permanent head
quarters. so far as know, has not yet
been positively decided upon. The
matter rests solely with Hanna. How
ever. II Washington Is chosen. pre-
sumo. as secretary OF the national
committee. i would probably be loca-

A Point In Utah.

Salt Lake. Nov. 1.-THE board OF
canvassers OF Salt Lake county has
completed the count OF the votes cast
at the recent election. but has not yet
declared the result. for the alleged
reason that said election Is claimed TO
be void and unconstitutional" The
board has passed resolution asking
the county attorney to furnish an opin-
ion as to the duty OF the hoard in the
premises. The constitution OF the
state requires a secret ballot. The act
Of the legislature providing for the
manner Of holding elections makes IL
the duty Of the election officers to
place a number on each ballot. 1nis
has led TO some discussion rs t. what
constitutes a secret ballot. It Is upon
this point that IL Is claimed the cleo
ton may be Unconstitutional.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Missoula, April 2S-In the district
court to-day Frederick Ramsay, a ma
tive of England declaring his intention
of becoming a citizen of this country.
Judge Ross to-day listened to a tale
of woe of a lot of people, colored and
white, who We're mixed up in a Scrape
at the fort and after he had heard a
portion of the talk, was satisfied that
there were two sides of the question
and fined a woman for disturbance and
a man for assault. 1t will be some
time before these people come unto
court again to settle a quarrel 1t is
too expensive.
At 2:30 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in a two-story building on
Woody street, owned by E. Nj. Murray,
who with his two sons, was asleep in
the second story. The first floor. which
has been used as a saloon, was not
occupied. When the fire was discov-
cred the flames were bursting through
the windows and through a skylight
1t was not thought the building would
be saved. but the alarm was given
promptly and 1.-THE fire department made
a record on the run. In few minutes
two streams were playing on the blaze,
and in a few more the fire was out.
When the fire was first seen, the occu-
pants of the second story were asleep
and they had a close call to get out.
They saved nothing and were glad to
get out alive. The entire second story
of the building was Quilted. Not one
of the partitions escaped damage The
tin roof on the house aided the fire
men in controlling the blaze and they
did IL in such good shape that the store
of Dan Cavanagh, which joins the
burned structure, was not injured. 1t
was one of the best pieces of work done
by the department. The origin is not
known. 1t started in the second story
and burned both ways toward the
ends The lower story is not much
damaged. ..n
County Surveyor Hathaway to-day
completed taking the elevation OF
Mount Jumbo. He took 1t by series
of levels and determined the hight of
the peak nearer town is 1884 feet above
the sill of the new Northern Pacific de-
pot. The farther peak, on the east
side of the mountain, is 1850 feet high,
reckoned from the same base.
City Treasurer Kemp to-day caused a
street falVir to quit business by telling
him he would have to pay a license.
This was too high, and the peddler left
for other fields.

of the new town is at the mess house
at noon. There are loo men who are
fed at this place and they are on hand
promptly when the dinner hour comes.
There are sometimes 100 of them In
line when the door opens and then the
scramble for a place at the table IL
worth seeing. 1t Is like an obstacle
race with dinner for a prize. The
men have good appetites and they
want to satisfy them at the first pos
sible moment They are all good-na-
tured about Il, and though they strug-
gle to get in. they are quiet enough
when the scramble Is over. The other
day there were about a hundred of
them waiting for dinner, which was a
little late, and when the door was
opened, the rush forced the three men
at the head Of the line into the door
way where they were wedged so tightA
ly that they could not get in and the
crowd behind was so large that they
could not get back. They were badly
squeezed before the crowd stopped
pushing. W
There are hundreds of sights at
Quigley to interest the visitor. He will
see a busy lot of men and will see the
beginning of what promises to be a
big concern. There are, of course,
plenty of croakers at the camp and I'm
the surrounding country who predict
the failure of the enterprise. These are
always found and IT does not pay to
listen long to them. This much is GER
tain-the company is spending a large
amount of money and is giving en-
ployment at good wages to a large
number of men. If the mines turn out
as has been predicted by the mining
experts that has examined them, the
camp will prove to be permanent af-
fair and will be an important factor in
Mssoula business circles. If. on the
other hand, the Golden Scepter prop
critics are added to the list of failures.
there will be no loss to any but those
concerned in the company and the
croakers ought to allow these men the
privilege of spending their money as
they choose. 1t is not an enterprise
that has sought the financial aid of
anyone in the state. All of the money
invested has come from the pockets of
the men who are spending 1t, and IL
they are satisfied. II is not the province
of local croakers to kick. The outlook
is now very favorable for the success
of the properties and this and other
neighboring communities ought to be
willing to aid the project as much as
possible.
