Deer Lodge in Ashes.

Deer Lodge has followed in the wake Of
other mining towns. and has received its
baptism of fire, and it now lie in ashes.
Deer Lodge is in the new mining district OF
Eagle Valley, and preparations had been
made to do a great deal of work there
which will now have to be suspended for
the time being. The fire broke out on
Wednesday the 18th inst. and is severe
blow to the mine promoters. We have re.
ceived the following particulars:
On Wednesday the 18th inst, fire broke
out in the office of the Gold Bug Mining
Company, owned by Messrs. Lytles, Ham
monds and Moody, which rapidly spread to
the assay office on the east, the blacksmith
shop on the west and to w. S. Benefits
residence, which stood near by, and in spite
of the efforts of MIR. Bennett, he being the
only one there, the whole was soon reduced
to ashes. Mr. Bennett succeeded in saving
most of the valuable articles, but the loss
was felt keenly by the owners, as they were
intending to resume work on their valuable
mining property, which will be temporarily
delayed, Loss $1,000, no insurance.

That access to land, whether agrl.

admitted facts of economics. The uni

DEFEAT OF MARTIN.
A Few Facts Showing Why He Was OPP
posed by the Railroads,

VIXEN the F0puIlSC9 nOmlnSGeu 4UE
Chief Justice of the Supreme court
that honorable and worthy jurist,
Judge Frank Doster, the heads Of
Kansas corporations and railroad at
torneys set up a howl. They had
hoped our party would nominate some
weak and Vacillsting individual whom
they might use. So soon as Judge
Doster was nominated they set the
pace to defeat in the Republican con-
Vention the denomination Of Chief
Justice David Martin, as 1t would not
be to their interest to have Doster and
Martin as opposing Gandidstes-both
men who would administer the law as
they found 1t. Had our party nomi'
mated some man without character the
corporations would have consented to
allow David Martin to run and defeat
him at the polls without showing their
hands, Now let US see by whom and
why David Martin was defeated In the
Republican convention.
Those who express surprise at the
action of the Republican convention
in defeating Chief Justice Martin for
denomination merely show how little
knowledge they have Of the influences
that control the conventions Of that
party. It would seem that after fore.
ing q declaration In favor Of q single
gold monetary standard, in opposition
to the teachings Of all the great Repub-
lican leaders, people ought not to doubt
the power of the corporations to crush
an honest, guileless man like David
Martin with perfect ease.
But the question Is sometimes asked:
Why did they do itP Some may think
1t was because of the stand he took In
holding the redemption law valid as to
past as well as future contracts, and of
the reversal of that decision by the
United States Supreme court. This
doubtless had its effect, because it
showed his independence and willing
ness to do justice to debtor as well as
creditor. Others may say it was be-
cause of his belief as to the free coin.
age of silver at the ratio Of 16 to with
gold; this, too, might have assisted in
defeating this worthy gentleman.
But the true reason for his defeat
can be easily seen by anyone who will
take the pains to look through the vol
umes of the Kansas reports containing
his decisions and compare results In
the cases decided since he came on the
bench with those rendered when all the
members of the court were of one
party.
Take, for instance, the cases reported
in the 49th Kansas, and It will be
found that Of the cases heard and de.
cided by the court, without the com.
mission, in which railroad companies
were parties, three were decided against
the companies and nine in their favor.
OF those by the Commissioners, two
were for and four against the comps-
nies. Compare this with the 56th Kan.
sss, the last volume issued, and 1t will
be seen that thirty cases In which rail.
road companies were parties are re.
ported; eleven in favor of the comps-
nies, nineteen against theml While

Valley Land Company, and many 9th

meted out much to their disgust.
They, too, want o partisan court, and
assisted in nominating Carver over
David Martin.
Does the reader wonder that Mr..
Low, the general counsel for the Rock
leland road, issued passes to all the
delegates to the Republican State con-
vention residing along the line Of that
road, and then when they arrived In
Topeka demanded that they vote
against David Martin? Look at the
case of c., R. 1. & P. Ry. Co. vs.
Groves, page 6O1, 56th Kansas, and you
will find the cause Of Mr.. Lows

Republican convention, mingling In
the fray and preaching against David

pany In bringing Texas cattle infected

was rendered In favor Of LAG different
farmers who had suffered loss. OF
course Mr.. Sedgwlck wants Carver
elected, but what will the voters Of the
State say who may want justice ct the
hands Of the court?
