WHERE WASHINGTON SLEPT.

New York Correspondence Pittsburg
Dispatch: Down in the heart of Hemp
stead the other day I discovered another
Wa%shington's headquarters. The Sam
mis- hotel is genuine. Ben Sammis was
the main p~rogenitor, and after him came
Nehemiah. Hanging on the wall today is
a grand old oaken sign: Entertainment
by Nehemiah Semmis." 1t is finely pre-
served, and it hung over the road as far
back as 1712. In this house George Wash
ingtOn slept. On the stairs leading to the
attic are two loose steps, which We're re-
moved from time to time in the revolu-
tionary days in order to let two or three
colOnials enter a dark cell for conceal
ment from the British. There are shoe
prints Of horses which We're ridden up
these stairs by dashing cavalrymen for
bottles Of good things to drink. Henry
Sammis. a true descendant, and his wife
conduct the house at present, and will
hand it On down, as there are young Sam
misses coming along.

er to charge dereliction Of duty against
the city authorities unless it has in its
possession facts that justify the accusa-
ton; but having such facts, and still be-
ing unable to get the o~fficiary to act, it
should lay it's case in detail before the
public-the court of last resort.
-
Last winter the Inter Mountain pro-
tested against the sweeping declaration
that members of the legislature We're be-
ing bribed by wholesale-that a perfect
carnival of crime was in progress at Hell
ena. drawing men, women and children
into its horrible vorteX-for the reason
that it not only did a rank injustice to
those innocent of wrong doing. but adj
vertised the disrepute Of the state abroad
and gave the commonwealth a bad name
which the eroding hand of time alone can
efface. Applying the same rule to the
city of Butte. this eternal cutlery about
crime and criminals and lawbreakers and
dishonest officials, and all that sort Of
tiiliS. ny He"SpdpSIS tHdt are trying 10
play to the galleries. like the Butte Miner,
ought to be stopped. An ~irreparable in
jury is done the city without any cores
ponding benefit. The impression IS Great
ed abroad that this city is not a fit place
in which to build a home and rear a fam
lily. No one can calculate the damage in
f1icted on this state and on his city
through reckless charges as to the COM
mission of crimes against the law-charges
that are specific as to everything but the
facts. and definite as to everything but
the criminals.
1t is a serious thing to charge any man
or set of men, or any community, with
actual crime unless the evidence upon
which such charges are based is abso-
lutely conclusive. In such cases, it is the
duty of those who assume the high priv
ilege of acting as moral chaperons for the
charged as the swiftest and best way to
purify the atmosphere and elevate the
lone of the community. This course is
recommended to the Miner, not with a
view to discouraging any honorable pur-
pose it may a in mind, but that prac-
teal results may be attained. Should the
Miner undertake with zeal the work Of
unearthing the authors Of the crimes so
darkly limited at in it's columns, and
bring them to justice, it will not be the
first time in the history of journalism
that a great newspaper has rendered a
service to the community which was

MIN/KC LAWS.

Montana owes a debt of gratitude to
the wisdom and scholarship of it's SUI
preme cou in gradually Strengthening
out the apparent entanglements in the
mining laws of this state The decisions
of that body. while oftentimes working a
hardship on individuals who have mis-
understood the scope of their rights and
privileges under the law, have conserved
the general good of the public by estab-
fishing precedents for the safe guidance
of those who have occasion to engage in
mining affairs. 20 ~
The Amy-Silversmith decision was a
notable instance in point. Though re-
versed by the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. the principles involved were
subsequently affirmed by that body in
the Observation-Disclosures litigation, thus
demonstrating the correctness Of the
these cases involved the right to ex-
plot the depths of a vein that runs out
the side line instead of the end line of q
mining claim. The final decision by. the
court of last resort in the Niagara Black
rock case was practically a reversal of
it's verdict in the Amy-Silversmith case,
and corrected a course Of procedure on
the part Of mining men that would have
worked a great hardship and injustice
11nnl0| 11nnv To tho IInrnp, ~, Of
Montana must be accorded all due credit
for firmly insisting upon the rectitude of
it's course when questions of this charac-
ter We're decided.
Another case, in which the district
judge was reversed by the supreme court,
and new trial ordered, will attract a
great deal of attention, inasmuch as it
involved the scope of the prospector's
rights under the n~inety-day law covering
by the lower court that prospectors had
their rights to 1900 feet along
the vein and to 800 feet each side there
Of through failure to specifically define
the boundaries of their claim by stakes
the time the notice of location was
put up. The general direction was indi-
Gated by the location paper, but there was
nothing to indicate the actual boundaries
of the ground claimed.
On appeal. the supreme court held that
the locators had ninety days in~which to
perfect their location of the property, and
that it was unnecessary to specifically
define the boundaries of the claim with
or otherwise, except a statement
Of he number of feet taken on the no.
tice. in order to hold possession for ninety
days. If the stakes were put up any
during that period the provisions of
the law We're complied with, and inter-
had no rights which the courts
We're bound to respect.
This wise Interpretation of the ninety-
day law establishes a precedent of great
in the locating of claims. Civ
ms. as it does, a period of three months
in which to make surface eXploitations
and find just where the corner stakes
should be put.

Too much credit cannot be given the
brave boys of the fire brigade who last
night entered the very jaws of death to
extinguish the flames in the warehouse of
the Continental Oil company. One explo-
sion had taken place, resulting in the
death of one of the employees of the com
pany, and the burning Oil. scattered in
all directions, gave promise of a ver;ta-
BILE carnival of death. Butte's heroic
firemen rushed in and extinguished the
flames as they We're tapping themselves
greedily around the fat tanks Of oil, and
prevented a great disaster by the
breadth of a hair. With the horrors of
the awful powder explosion still unfor-
gotten, the bravery shown last night re-
fleets unfading glory upon the fire de-
partment of Butte.

A~LEF7-HAKDE PLOW

During a temporary lull in business a
on the great seal of the state of Montana
is a left-handed co%ntrivance, and raises
the question as to whether such a thing
as a left-handed plow ever existed. Sew
eral graduates from various agricultural
colleges We're cross-examined, but as they
had never seen a pillow they could not
settle the question. A Dutchman who
had plowed the raging main on his trip
from the Faderland refused to give ex-
pert testimony, and finally the editor of
the Helena Herald volunteered the infor-
dirt in both directions, being ambidex-
trous, so to speak, and possibly the de-
signer of the great seal was right after
all.
In the opinion Of the Inter Mountain,
however, Judge Stranahan was right, and
the rest of them got left, when he said
that all plows We're right and none of
them We're left. In laying the founda-
tions for a life of Uninterrupted useful
ness on a farm, the writer never saw a
left-handed pillow. and he has lone all
kinds Of farm work from attending
Thursday night prayer meetings to chas-
ing grasshoppers out of a strawberry
orchard-he has followed everything. in
an agricultural way, from a professor of
astrology to a circus parade, but he never
followed a left-handed pillow. Before at
tempting to raise anything by working
at the newspaper business he used to
raise farm products. with a full hand of
spades, but he never had the handles of
"a left-handed pillow catch him in the
short ribs when colliding with a red-root
or a submerged rock.
If there is any such thing as a left
handed pillow it is used by the farmers in
the Allegheny mountains, where the
horses legs grow longer on one side so
they can walk around the hills with inn
punity, and where the farms are fastened
onto the mountain sides with stakes
driven into each corner. If such plows
are not found in that part of the country,
the Inter Mountain will suggest that
Governor Smith loses no time in abolish
ing the great seal of the state of Nom
tana. What is the use of having a right
handed seal with a left-handed plow
on it?

The Butte Miner has never mustered
up enough courage to take issue with
the Anaconda Standard on the ~latter's
proposition that the ratio of value be-
tween silver and gold should be regulated
by the worlds exchanges. 1t has only
gotten far enough along to call the Inter
Mountain its "gOldbug contemporary"
because we have exposed the hypocrisy
of the democratic press of this state in
their treatment of the free coinage ques-
ton.

grounds that they %repudiated the Chicago
platform of 1896 in their city convention.
The Inter Mountains Geographic col
umns today throw considerable light on
the situation. The inference is clear that
the Altgeld men will lay their case be-
fore the national committee in advance OF
the convention, relying upon that body
to pass a resolution recognizing the right
of no delegate to sit in that body unless
the state convention thai names him en-
dorses the Chicago platform. Then, if
the Harrison men control the state con-
vention in Illinois, as they Undoubtedly
will, and refuse to endorse the Chicago
platform of 1896, the Altgeld men will
hold a convention of their own, under
the terms of the resolution passed by the
national committee.
This will, Of course, precipitate a pretty
fisnt in the national democratic conven-
ton, with the probable result that a large
proportion of the delegates may withdraw
from that body and start up another SIDE
show as in 1895. The poet who wrote
1T IS a Rocky Road to Dublin has a
magnificent opportunity to immortalize
himself with an epic on the future path of
the national democracy.

This morning the Anaconda Standard
says: 'Silver will be the entra issue
next year. But how about free COIN
age? The democrats declared for ''sil-
YER" in 1892. but o for free coinage at
the ratio of 16 to 1 by the independent
action of the American republic. And
when Mr.. Cleveland was elected on that
platform he did all within his power to
cripple the free coinage cause. The
Standard has already committed itself
to the proposition that the ratio of 16 to
1 is immaterial-that the ratio should be
regulated by the worlds exchanges-and
is that the kind of ~''silver' that is to be
the central issue" next year? The
Standard is candid. however, in saying
that '%'silver" will be the 'central issue"
1t may be the central issue or the tall
end issue of the democracy. but it will
not be the paramount issue. if the So
called silver leaders of the national
democracy can prevent it.

When a baby comes to the house

the clinging touch of the little hands
and the sound of the little voice.

ARTIST ANEcporE.

A celebrated artist, (sorry | can

Of his toilet as be was renowned in
his art, was one day leisurely and
rather absently walking the street,
when he heard call from a female
voice behind.
"Here, my man. said the lady,
reckoning to him, "can you carry
bundle little ways for mer'
The artist looked at the lady for
a moment, saw that she was very
handsome. and instead of explaining,
as he was about to do, that he was
gentleman, he ssid, "Willingly,
madam" and followed her into
shop.
She made her purchases, and when
done the bundle'was both large and
heavy, but he lifted It with some
effort upon his shoulder and followed
after the lady, who, slightly raising
her dress, went on fast before him,
showing an exquisitely turned pair
OF feet and ankles. She assembled to
the second floor OF a house, with the
tired porter close at her heels, and
began to tumble in her pocket TO
find money to pay him. As she did
SO the artist looked well at her face i,
and found it TO be one of the most
peculiar in its style of beauty, as

The Question of Squirrel Inns.

The Church Temperance Society
is about to realize its opportunity,
we hope, in the establishment of a
Squirrel Inn in the Bowery, where
there will be the comforts of club
and the refreshment afforded by a
restaurant, all without the accom-
paniment of liquor selling. We adj
NIT that such inns are not likely to
reclaim many drunkards. But is
there any extraneous power that
will reclaim many drunkards? We
do believe, however, that Squirrel
Inns win prevent drunkenness by
keeping youth without inherited APP
petite away from temptation. We
hope, therefore, that the Squirrel Inn
will have that immediate success
which will encourage Bishop Potter
and his associates, and we think that
their experiment will be all the surer
of its reward If they see to it that
tue Joys of the inn are not too drab.
It is not always short road up to
the intellectual joys Of backgammon,
and therefore backgammon kind of
joy is not good one for a. sole de-
pendence at new Squirrel Inn
