quest, considering that Wrenn didn't
know me from Adam, and he very prop

nave that pass, SO I kept on tackling him,
each time presenting some new reasons
why the road should carry me to Jack
sonville. The last time I called the clerk
wouldn't let me in, and handed me one
of my cards on which Colonel Wrenn had
written: Keep this fellow out. If he

1T IS GROWING INTERESTING.

In casually adverting to the Inter
gambling question, the Butte Miner of
Sunday says:
Gambling was resumed the night the
new chef of police started west. The fact
was published in the Miner the day fol-
lowing. The uselessness Of carrying on
an argument with a per SO little
posted on facts or which makes such a
distorted use of them will commend it
self to the good judgment of everybody.
No doubt the public VIII cordially ap-
prove the sentiment expressed by our
morning contemporary, when ieays that
the uselessness of it's trying ii Hearty on
an argument will Commend itNelf to the
good Judgment of everybody" IN Its use
lessness in the line of argument. as in
some other directions, is more % be COM
mended perhaps thai other c~d,spicuous
features OF that great family journal. But
we will let that pass. ~
The Miner knows the precise night
when gambling was resumed in;this city,
it appears, and therefore IS in Possession
Of the facts as to where such ATTRACTION
of the law took place and by khom the
offense was committed. BY HIblishing
these facts. instead of merely indicating
that the digestion of the tiger had i'm
proved under the new administration, the
Miner might have done a world of good
in suppressing the wee. Our contempor-
airy mistakes in assuming that it is a
matter of argument between it and the
Inter Mountain-that it is a case wherein
its uselessness must again be placed on
exhibition. On the contrary, it is a case
wherein action rather han argument is
required.
The general statement hat gambling is
going on in Butte might be repeated unit,
land of outer darkness has been cou-
verted into a skating rink. without any
other result than di%screditing the reputa-
ton of the city. Action, based upon a
knowledge. of the facts, will alone sup
press the evil. 1t was Demosthenes who
laid down three rules of imperative inn
portaEce in the matter of o~ratory-first,
action; second, action; third, action!
These are pretty good rules for the
guidance Of reform newspapers, when
they become convinced that the officers
Of the law are Gerelict in the performance
Of their duties. No one will for a mo-
ment DOUBT the ability OF the Miner, with
the powerful influence behind it, to-
eradicate the gambling evil should it I'M
the work in good earnest and
with a view to Furnishing the gamblers
just as literally as it now seeks to pun
ism the mayor Of this city.

however, in it's attempt to make it appear
that the Inter Mountain is responsible
for the conditions which it has fearlessly
| pointed out, that paper confesses judy
ment in quoting the words of Judge Tar
! vim. president of the League of Bimetal-
lie clubs of the Ohio valley. The report
of a speech made by that gentleman at
a banquet in Columbus last Friday night
says:
He denounced the attempts being made
! to relegate the silver question to the rear.
He insisted tina the issue must be mace
as prominent in 1900 as it was in the Chi
cage platform.
If no attempts are being made to "rele-
gate the silver question to the rear by
the democratic leaders, why did Mr.. Tar
vim %denounce them? If these attempts
are imaginary on the part of the Inter
Mountain, as the Independent would have
it's host of intelligent readers believe, why
did the president of the bimetallic clubs
of the Ohio valley fall into the same
error? Why was it necessary for such
an eminent gentleman as Judge Tarvin
to insist that the issue mus be made as
prominent in 1900 as it was in the Chicago
PLATFORM if the democrats intend to
make it so?
In pointing out the course that is be-
ing pursued by the so-called silver lead
ers of the democratic party, in their
search for a paramount issue other than
free coinage, the Inter Mountain has COM
mitted no offense to which Judge Tar
vim will not also plead guilty. Why does
not the Independent assail that emil
nent gentleman for trying to relegate sill
yer to the rear because he denounced the
attempt of the democratic politicians to
force that issue into the background?

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

The discussion of available candidates
for second place on the democratic ticket
next year, by the press of that party,
clearly indicates that no overtures will be
made to the populists looking to cooper
alton at the polls. The democrats will do
in 1900 as they did in 1896, in naming q
candidate for the v.ce-presidency-look
UP a barrel. Sewall Of Maine was placed
on the ticket with Bryan not to serve any
political purpose. or with the hope that
the republican strength in New England
could be broken through his candidacy,
but purely and simply because that gen
tleman stood ready and wiling to place
his barrel at the disposition of the demo-
cratic national committee.
1t was a case that almost paralle,et
the course pursued by the democracy in
1880, when English Of indiana was nom
inated for vice-pres.dent after he had left
Cincinnati in disgust over what appear
ed to be his fruitless efforts to secure the
| coveted honor. His enormous barrel
was needed, am he received a nomina-
ton when he ought to have received the
hot foot of that political party on the
geographical center of his anatomy. 1t
was a mistake in 1880 for the democratic
party to select a candidate for vice
president whose only recommendation
was his enormous wealth and his readi-
ness to use it for political purposes. 1t
repeated that mistake in 1896, and really
loaded Bryan down with a handicap that
served no good purpose N the brilliant
campaign made by that distinguished
gentleman.
If the apparent trend of events count
for anything, that party will again re-
peat it's mistake in 1900. The movement
in behalf of Mclean of Ohio is nothing
more nor less than another attempt to
run q bung-nole campaign, for that gen.
tlemar's chief recommendation, like that
of English ard Sewall, lies in his great
wealth and his willingness to expend it
in a political way. Mclean represents
the moneyed interests of the country, in
the shape of trusts and combinations of
capital to restrict trade, and all that sort
of thing, Just as English and Sewall did,
and his presence on the ticket is desired
IN order to convince the capitalists that
the democratic declaration against trusts
is only a joke, doncher know, and is
meant only for campaign effect in the
rural districts and in country school
house oratory.
If the democrats want a barrel "as is a
barrel" why do they not throw off all
geographical DISCUSSES and get after the
real thing? Why not come to Montana ?
If the Hon. w. A. Clark is eated in the
senate he will make an available candi-
date for the vice-presidency and the
United Verde mines VIII go a long way
toward convincing the American public
that the administration of President Nc
Kinley is very unpopular. On the other
the senate, through the little unpleasant
ness that Jared the equilibrium Of things
in this state, the president of the ANAL
gamated Copper trust would be avail
able. The democracy hould keep its eye
on Montana if it really wants a cam
paign fund that will make Mark Hanna
believe that he is a pauper.

VOORHEES, WIT LOST HIS CASE.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: "The
greatest jury orator l ever listened to in
my life was the late Daniel w. Voorhees,"
said a well known New Orleans lawyer.
HE had a jovial presence. a great resO-
nant bass voice and a bearing so singu-
larly compelling that I know of nothing
except the trite word magnetic tina be-
gins to define it's effect. l heard him in a
murder trial at Louisville, and his speech
on that occasion was prefaced by a most
amusing incident which I h nave never seen
IN PRINT. 1t was a very warm day., and
the courtroom was packed to suffocation.
AS voorhees, arose to begin his argu-
ment he cast his eye over the jury and
discovered that one of the members had
fallen asleep. Frowning with %indigna-
ton, he motioned to one of the court Of
ficials, and in a few seconds the SUM
berer was shaken rudely into conscious
ness. He was a fat, timid-looking man,
and was so mortified and aghast at tho
enormity of his offense that he could
hardly find words in which to reply to
the sharp questions of the judge. Finally
he managed to blurt out that he ouldn
help doing off whenever it was warm
and crowded. If the gentleman always
sleeps where it is warm and crowded.
said Voorhees,. majestically, the gentle
man will no doubt enjoy himself hugely
in hades.' There was a roar of laughter.
but the retort proved rather costly. The
fat man hung the jury against Voorhees,
