man, getting red in the face every

"Ah yes; how much must you pay?
Three pence is the fare"
Whereupon the eerpulent individual said
some strong words under his breath and

DISMISSAL OF BULLER.

N ERHAPS the world will never learn the secret
- causes that led UP to the dismissal OF Sir Red
vers Butler from the British army The expa-
nation thus far furnished is hardly sufficient to sat
isy the public mind 1t is but short time since the
general was appointed to command one of the corps
of the reorganized army The appointment gave rise
to great deal of discomfort but it was taken as
proof that Buffers conduct during the time of his
command in South Africa was approved by the War
Office. Then the general made speech in which he
admitted having advised the surrender of Ladysmth
Straightway there clamor, and out of the up
roar has come the that Butler is dis
missed He was given chance to resign, but refused
to do so, He preferred to die fighting, as it were,
and goes out under the condemnation OF the very
men who but short time ago honored him with
high command.
The British War Office must have known that Bull
ler had advised the surrender of Ladysmith. 1t is
hardly credible that important message from the
commander of the relieving army to the commander
of the besieged force could have been kept secret
from the military authorities Consequently the only
thing in his speech that could have startled the War
Office the publicity given to. the truth He is
dismissed, therefore, not for what he did left
DONE but for what he said 1t was a case of talking
too much.
1t is just at this point that curiosity arises Why
should general who is deemed worthy to command
of the corps of the army be dismissed for mere
indiscreton of speech? With such question to an
is not strange that should be busy with
conjecture. One story already telegraphed from
London is to the effect that Butler falls victim to
pettcoat politics." 1t is said that Lady Roberts has
been for long time camped his trail and that she
at last has been able to make Lord Roberts demand
his dismissal. That story does not appeal very
strongly to reasonable people, but until a better
theory is advanced it will doubtless be made to serve
with the gossips as explanation of the collapse OF
Butler.
Two years ago at about this time of the year Sir
Redvers Butler was for while the pride and boast
of the British people He proudly pointed to as
the typical British officer. The stories of his martial
youth were told and the prediction was made that he
would return from South Africa with victory and get
peerage. In his leave-taking of the Queen he told
her the war would be troublesome but it would not
be long He announced little later that he would
take his Christmas dinner in Pretoria. All that
only two years ago. Now another Christmas is ap-
preaching. The good Queen is dead The war goes
on and Butler disappears beneath the waters Of
oblivion, shipwrecked by squa so petty that no one
knows what caused it.

THE EXAMINERS JUSTIFICATION

r T would be amusing If it were not, after sort,
pitiful to see the Examiners daily and painful
plea of justification in its anarchical assaults
President Mckinley. The Hearst papers having been
repudiated by the reputable press and people OF the
United States, the Examiner halls with delight any
comfort that get from the most obscure press.
So il daily prints its praises from the Weekly
Gizzard," the Lone Canyon Guzzle" and DRY Creek
Hee Haw" These sheets generally bark back to
what Republican papers said about Mr., Bryan when
he was candidate to justify Hearst's persistent in
suits of William Mckinley after he President and
the campaign was over In 1896 and in 1900 the
campaign cartoons of the Republican and Democratic
press were fair Offsets No one objects to exhibiting
them side by side as samples OF party zeal and Amer
ican campaign enthusiasm, even of partisan bad
taste
But Mr.. Hearst cannot vicariously plead what hap
pened in a campaign justification of what he did
after the campaign was over. Nor will such plea,
though cunningly made, deceive the people who have
determined that his style of journalism shall receive
no further encouragement.
There is no offset in the practice of the Republican
press the Examiners OF the President as
a negro minstrel as the weak tool Of robbers as
pupil of Fagin, as the enemy and hater of the COM
people. Nor is there any such Offset the Ex-
aminers Endorsement of the assassination of rulers
and Presidents and its almost daily suggestion that
the murder OF President Mckinley would benefcially
change history.
OF course that paper relies the brevity of mem
ory, but that its reliance is strong is shown
by its ceasng print the line of insulting pictures
which il had prepared If it doing right in its
estimation and in that of its defenders
The Gizzard," "Guzzle" and "Hee Haw" organs
OF obscury, why does it continue the course out
OF which it kicked by the country's indignation?
1t attacked and insuted and suggested the murder
OF President Mckinley because of the policy of his
administration Now that President Roosevelt is
carrying out that exact policy to the letter. why, if
it were right before in cartooning Vice President
Roosevelt grinning effgy and utterer of nom
sense, does it continue to do so? The Examiner
is very logicaly justifying itself in doing what it
dare not continue do, and the intended praise it
gets from ''Ihe Gizzard," "Guzzle" and "Hee Haw'
is OF no value whatever an Endorsement of course
that IT has been compelled to abandon.
Naturally 1t expects to resume its old ways at the
old stand, when its is over but at present it
has seen ghost just it blasphemed, and it will
not dare swear again for a long time
The San Francisco call., 1901-10-25

Since there has been so much talk of Roosevelt as
"our young President one of those men who delight
in snubbng public opinion has published the records
to show that Roosevelt is year older than the En-
peror of Germany, twelve years older than the Gar
of Russia, ten years older than the King OF Italy
lands and twenty-eight years older than the King
of Spain In fact, about the only way we can make
youthful showing for President is to compare
him with the Pope

word Sunday does not occur in the Bible

In the Black Tail mine work is still
confined to prosecuting for the vein
/ east of the fault. on the main tunnel
level.
The Chico is improving steadily. The
north drift is being extended along the
footwan of the ledge. the roof OF the
drift cutting the under side of the
ledge.
1t is reported that the No. Consoli-
dated mine is to be reopened by con-
tinuing the lower tunnel 100 feet, in
which distance it is expected to strike
the vein.
The shaft on the Mountain Lion was
down SO feet below the 425 foot level
yesterday morning. Work is progress
ing quite rapidly. when the site of the
shaft is considered.
At the Ben Hur shat the water is
being raised to the surface from nine
feet about the 230 foot level. Superin-
tendent George Miller stated that as
soon as the water is out he will begin
stopping out ore for shipment from the
level mentioned.
~ inc NuAip superintendent OTun-
mer says that three wagon loads or
about seven tons, of ore went out to
Grand Forks by team last Saturday,
making the monthly total between so
and IS tons. There are over 20 men
employed in and about the mine at
present
George L. Hedges, superintendent OF
the Waueonda mine. states that rapid
progress is being made on the big tun-
mel 1t is in $50 feet and progress is
made of from five to six feet each "a
hours. The ledge will not be explored
until after the tunnel is completed, as
the company desires to push the tunnel |
forward as rapidly as possible.
In the San Poll mine two men are
running the north drift on the No. 2
tunnel level. 1t is now in a little over
300 feet and has only 100 feet farther
to run to the north end line. The ore
in this drift has been much broken up
and bunchy. 1t lately passed through
