A special to the Inter Mountain from
Kalispell tells that the coroner's jury
exonerated the trainmen from all blame
of the disastrous Great Northern wreck
in which thirty five men lost their lives.
AS near as can be learned from the dis
patches the jury decided the casualties
We're due to accidental causes. The
freight train air brakes were released in
some manner at Essex and the train pro-
coed down grade to Nyack. seventeen
miles away, where it plunged into the
rear Of the passenger train. Unfortunate
ly there was no telegraph operator at
Nyack. Had there been an operator at
that point it would have been an easy
matter to warn the station by wire Of
the runaway train. AS it was the men
who saw the cars loaded with lumber
start on their wild rush toward the place
where they telescoped the passenger were
powerless to give the warning that would
have prevented the disaster. The loss
to the railroad company by the wreck is
over 100000. This sum would have been
saved had the company paid the expense
Of maintaining a telegraph station at
the clace where the accident occurred.
The coponers jury made no attempt to
fix the blame for the terrible disaster,

The number Of men employed on rail-
roads last year was 1,O17.S53. as against
7493O1 in 1890. this being 500 employees
for each 100 miles Of line, as against 47s
ten years before.
No attempt Is made to set q valuation
on railroad property, but 1t Is shown thai
the railway capital invested amounted in
1900 to $5645. 1885, 1867. as against N.eA,576. ISL
In 1890 and $5.61S, 172 in 1899 These fig
ures measure In no sense the value of the
property.
The. total number Of persons killed dur
ing the fiscal year covered by the report
was 1855; the total number injured. 81. 800.
The number Of employees killed during
the year was 1850 and the number injured
39.643. The number of passengers killed
during the year was 249 and the number
injured 4.12S. This leaves assigned to
''other persons total OF 5O06 killed and
6,549 injured.
From these statements 1t appears that
the number of casualties during the year
exceeds the casualties for any previous
year for which the Interstate Commerce
Commission has record.

MILES CITY MORALITY.

The Yellowstone Journal, whose criti-
cism OF Attorney General Donovan was
printed in the Inter Mountain yesterday,
will find something of interest in the
Inter Mountains Anaconda page today
in the shape OF a compliment from
Sheriff Conley.
AS to the Journals structures on the
official conduct of the attorney general
respecting gambling, it may be re-
marked that his record is creditable in
the extreme. He has done his fun duty
so far. He has accomplished tangible
results. Both he and County Attorney
Breen have done more towards the en-
forcement of the law on the subject of
wide-open card playing than any other
officials whose public record the Inter
Mountain can recall.
But what has the Journal to say ia
Sheriff Conley? Can it be possible that
in Miles City there are any tables thai
are not dinner tables, or any animals
that might be mistaken for tigers?

SAMPSON AND SChltv.

The acerbity with which the merits OF
the Sampson Schley controversy are be-
ing discussed by the sensational press.
with the apparent purpose OF deciding
the case in advance OF the regular trial,
reflects no credit on the champions of
Schley. The Inter Mountain believes
that his action in the battle of July
was that Of gallant captain of gall
liant crew, and that the result of the
hearing will be a complete vindication
for him without the slightest resulting
injury to the reputation of his superior
officer. Each of them was doing his
duty on that day when the Spanish fleet
was smashed and Spanish power was
broken on this hemisphere. The efforts
OF democratic organs, however, to make
it appear that the administration IS
taking sides in the settlement of the
issue, or seeking in any way to embar-
rass Admiral Schley in the pending in
Quiry is little short of infamous. 1t is
based upon the belief that by constant
lying the democratic organs can con-
vince the people that Schley is victim
of Injustice at the hands of the admins
tration, the democratic hope being that
by making a martyr of him now the
party can make a president OF him IN
1903. That is all there is behind this
untimely and acrimonious discussion Of
a case which is up for settlement before
a proper tribunal the business OF whose
decision no patriotic man may question.
The democratic organs care nothing for
Schley Were Sampson democrat and
Schley republican the democratic
organs would all be on SIMPSONS side
and hurting at Schley all the billingsgate
they could command. The latter, how
ever, being democrat, and his party
being without a single issue with which
to go before the people in the next cam
paign with possibility of success, the
plan is to raise up a personal issue and
arouse the prejudices of the people by
persistent misrepresentation Of the facts
of history in order to create popular
sympathy for willing candidate. 1t is
coarse work. It Will only disgust al
Americans who take pride in their navy
It's officers and men, and who believe
that any and all Of them are worthy Of
the highest trust.

JO-NiGnT'S CITY COUNCIL.

In the city council meeting tonight
there is likely to be something doing
respecting the ordinance against prize
fighting. If the people of Butte. through
their aldermen, are in favor Of allowing
the ordinance to become dead letter,
evidence Of the fact will doubtless crop
out at tonight's session. The news
preston on the subject from the peo-
pies representatives. The discussion
promises to be entertaining and in'
structive, and may lead to an inquiry on
the subject that will bring out all the
facts. There are 10000 people in Butte
II a majority of them believe in prize
fighting as an exercise, the aldermen
will doubtless be lenient in their views
on the subject, and by their acts give
encouragement to the professors Of the
arts Of fistiana. If the aldermen are
convinced that public sentiment is the
other way, and II they have any influ'
ence with the mayor, and police cap
tain, then some restrictive measure:
may be adopted which will compel thu
professors to take their exercise in some
other form. possibly in a mine or mill.

The new impulse taken Of late by the
Liberal revolution has been Interpreted
here as the exclusive work of the sympa-
thy favoring the Colombian revolutionary
party both in Venezuela and in Ecuador.
to the extent that quite lately the direct
aid Of the governments Of said republics
has been spoken of as the groundwork Of
an international plan for the reconstruc-
ton of Greater Colombia. l do not pre-
tend to deny that the sympathy of tho
ns:ghboring people and their governments
have to certain extent contributed to
keep the revolution alive. but ,ne principal
reason for the same does not lie in that
direction, but rather in the many mis-
takes and absolute want Of popularity OF
the de facto government. which emanated
from the military coup on July 81. Of last
year. flooring all attempts at legA.imacy.
At that date the revolution was entirely
overcome, as is frankly confessed by the
principal liberal leaders. The government
under Senior Sanclemente. had no army OF
any account to confront. had already conn
menced to disband its troops. and got
ready to call congress together where all
political parties would have been properly
represented. so as to establish peace in =
durable manner and heal the wounds
caused by the war.
The president was engaged in this noble
work. when he was forced to leave the
high position he occupied. and was Inn

part Of the army. The party 50 called

author Of this crime Of high treason never
known before in the history Of the coun-
try. saw there were no enemies to fight
and wanted to call its own the advantages
of which 1t considered double victory.
The national party. made up Of all the
moderate elements of the liberal independ-
ent party. as well as the "Conservador''
party. supported DR.. Sanclemente and. OF

audacity to push. and means to rise
