Ohio Breaks All Records.

Columbus, O., Nov, 4.-More complete
returns today indicate that the plurality of
lIetfiek, republican, for governor over
Johnson, democrat, will exceed $4,000,
but that the remainder of the republican
state ticket will not have so large plu-
ralty. As the republicans not only car
ried the doubtful counties and districts but
also some that were conceded to the demo-
Gratis, the majority on joint ballot In the
legislature for the reelection of Senator
Hanna is now placed al o5 out of a total
membership in both branches of 1876 al
most three times as many as two years
ago, when the republicans had what was
considered an unprecedented majority of
IS on joint ballot for the election of Sem
ator Foraker.
Ohio never exceeded the 100000 mark
but twice before. This was when john
Brough during the Civil War was elected
republican governor by Iol,4oo and in the
panic of 1894 when the democrats did not
come out to vote and the republicans car
ricd Ohio for secretary of state by I3s,o7o.
The only other time when anything ap-
preaching these marks was reached was
last year when the republicans carried the
state by oo6s7 for secretary of state. and

MR.. SCALL0N OFFERS RELIEF

to you, and our understanding with you,
was, that il an extra session of the lcgis-
lature were called and proper legislation
were passed. securing fair trials, to-wt--
impartial judges to try cases in the district
court, and the review OF the facts in equity
cases in the supreme court, we would
thereupon resume operations. You will
remember it was stated and explained
that that was not a complete solution, but
in view of the hardships that prolonged
suspension would entail the companies
would resume on the enactment of such
legislation. On behalf of the other man
ayers and myself, now confirm these
statements to you. Respectfully yours,
"WILLIAM SCALLON.'
The letter was read and placed on file.
The matter is now up to the governor
to say whether or not the mines, mills
and smelters OF the state shall start up.

BOURGEOIS SAYS HIS HONOR HAS
FAILED TO FULFILL PROMISES
TO THE PUBLIC.
MAYOR MULLINS is NOT
"WH0LE THING" AT ALL
He Has Allowed Himself to Be Ruled by
the "Ring"--lnstance in Which
the Mayor Has Not Done What
He Said He Would Do.

Mr.. Mullins--Mayor: Six months OF
your administration have passed and The
many policies you outlined in your cam
paign speeches have come to naught. This
lack of clear and we'll defined policy and
the many changes in your plans can he at
tributed TO many causes. Two, however,
stand out more conspicuously than all
others-lack of decision and your sub
scrvience TO the wishes Of your political
manager.
You announced at the beginning of the
campaign of the mayoralty that you in
tended. if elected, to be mayor of Butte
to use your own language, to be the whole
thing" that you would not be controlled
by any one and, particularly, the Butte
hotel ring. These were your utterances
in defining what the people might expect of
you personally. You also announced that
YOU favored n widc-open town and that
the money which YOU expected to collect
from the tribute Of unlawful and illeglti-
mate occupations should reach the city
treasury and that there should be no graft
among public officials that YOU intended
to take the city into partnership in the
licensing of crime. These were your pub
lie declarations as to your policy.
1t is well 10 take an inventory of your
acts at this time. 1t is proper that your
administrative affairs be investigated and
your motives inquired into. At the outset, let
me say that If | did not understand your
character | might impugn your motives.
Your lack Of sound judgment, as demon
strated by your past history, explains
much. 1t has led you into many mistakes
and will bring you into many difficulties.
You have allowed those who pretended
friendship to use you for their personal
gain. Worse than this is the stubborn will
edging your errors and correcting your
mistakes These criticisms are made in no
spirit of harshness, but in the hope of
aiding your future conduct.
You have failed in being the whole
thing" You allowed an influence to
nominate your city attorney, which was
prompted by selfish motives, and you re-
fused to heed the advice OF friends who
might have kept you from the breakers
which must soon destroy your admnistra-
ton. Your nominees for other Offices were in
some instances determined from personal
motives and in many instances without re-
gard to their fitness for public Office.
These conditions have very largely pre-
vented you from being the whole thing"
You promised that no one should con-
troll your acts and that the persons COM
prising the Butte Hotel Ring" should have
no influence with you. lie us sec what the
facts develop. You authorized the collec-

Washington Nov. 4.-United States
Consul Ehrman at Panama cables the
state derartment that the Colombian war
ship Bogota is shelling the city. Eleven
have been killed.
Mr.. Ehrman has been instructed to pro-
test against the bombardmcnt.
II the consul's protest is not sufficient
the commander of the United States gun
boat Boston, which is by this time on her
way to Panama from San Juan del Sur,
600 miles distant, will probably seize the
Colombian gunboat If necessary to stop
the bonlbardment.
The bonlbardment is in violation of all
the rules of war, beginning as it did with
ont the required notice. Moreover, the
United States government takes the
ground that it certainly nterfercs with
transit across the isthmus, which this gov
ernment is treaty bound TO maintain.
Naval Boards Busy.
The greatest activity was exhibited in
the state and navy departments this MORN
ing, and there were frequent consultations
between the officials, the naval officers
particularly being intent in working out
the details of the plan of protection of the
isthmian traffic outlined by the state de-
partment.
1T is quite evident that the navy is
making preparations for larger squadron
in isthmian waters than it has made for
many years, and the fact is not disguised
that all the information has come from
the secret agents point to the ultimate
success of the revolution.
But, meanwhile, extremely delicate ques-
tions are to be answered for the occupa-
ton of one end of the Panama railroad
by the government by force and of the
other by the revolutionists make the situ-
alton extremely complicated. This is one
reason the conferences are being held.

THOMAS MAHER FINED
$50 FOR HIS PRANK

Just because he didn't like his reflection
in the mirror behind Marco Mcdin's bar,
Thomas Maher last night hurled heavy
weight through the glass, He was ar
rested on the charge of malicious mischief
and was fined $50 by Judge Boyle this
afternoon.
Maher went into Medin's saloon and de
manded drink. He was refused and at
once became boisterous
"Whos yer friend" he said to the bar
tender, seeing his own reflection in the
big mirror behind the bar
That's no FRIEND" was the reply
"Guess I'll take shot at him then"
said Maher, picking up a heavy weight
from the bar and shying it through the
mirror. The result was all that was ex-
pected and little more. The mirror was
a total loss.
He was found guilty this morning in the
police court and the judge pronounced
judgment this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The
fine was not paid.

The meeting of the Butte Miners union
last night was unusually large. There was
an earnest discussion Of the situation
and it was the consensus of opinion that
nothing further could be done by the
union until Governor Toolc had given
his answer in regard to calling special
session of the legislature.
The committee which had been ap-
pointed to endeavor to effect settlement
of the shutdown troubles reported that it
had received a letter from William Seal
lon, president of the Anaconda company.
The letter is as follows:

We who have the gathering OF the
county news" begin to wonder if half
the people Of this county are not either
on the Pacific Coast or in Ontario this
winter. The hegira east and west this
year is something remarkable. At first
glance one would think that it must be
against North Dakota and its climate
and that these people are leaving to es-
cape the rigors OF the cold winter. Per-
maps this is to some extent true, but yet
there is another fact intimately and GER
tainly connected with those trips that
must be also trne. Nearly all of these
travellers are farmers and their families;
just common farmers-and it costs lots
of money to travel and make trips of two
or three months time for SO long distan-
ces. True, the railways give a. reduced
rate, but to 60 to the Pacific Coast or to
Ontario for the time means an expendi-
ture of several hundred dollars. When
the question: "Where do they get the
money to go, withl'' is answered, there
will be good deal said for North Da-
kota. We venture that there are few
agricultural localities where the people
travel yearly as do the North Dakota
farmers.

A Grand Forks commissioner, whose
term expires in January, has suit before
the court asking that the board be re.
strained from electing his successor. Il
is probable that the supreme court will
have an opportunity to try and untangle
this mass of contradictory law. On ou,
own county board everything appears to
be serene as the outgoing members seem
to be easy as to whom their successors
will be and it don't make any difference
to them whether they hold over or take
the oath of office over. The Grand
Forks case will be watched with erea,
deal OF curiosity however. The regular
meeting occurs ON January 4th.

Merry Christmas to all.
MERRY HAPPY :

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Why merry" Why "happy?" Mer-
riment is short lived, happiness may be
almost constant. 1t is possible to be very
happy without being merry. It's possi-
BILE to be merry without being happy.
Merriment is on the surface and happi-
ness comes from the depths. There are
some people who are so peculiarly con-
stituted that they are happy by .'contrar-
les" as the Irishman would say it. It
seems to them that something must be
ajar or else they would not be satisfied.
Satisfaction is the basis of happiness.
Present amusement is the basis of merri-
ment. The transitory pleasure is mat
ter Of outside influences. usually easy to
find. Happiness IS largely in the make
up or constitution of the individual.
Both merriment and happiness can us
uallylbe found if sought Alright, but the
mistake of the world is, that it confounds
merriment with happiness and seeks only
that, when it is happiness that it wants.
Some Of the happiest people in the world
are those who seem to have but little in
sight to make them happy. Some Of the
most miserable individuals are those whe
seem to others to have the most to make
them happy. The secret Of happiness is
contentment. Almost every person il
4 health has far more blessings than .niser-
les. But many who are miserable are 50
because they don't stop to balance the
books Of their lives. They spend their
time brooding over their liabilities. and
never look at their assets. There IS mis-
cry enough in the lives Of all persons 70
make them utterly miserable, but, thank
God. there Is also enough happiness to
make every one happy. 81
We may wish our friends q " Happy
4 New Year, z and We may in many ways
help them 70 be happy. but ii lies mostly
with the indiyid idnal and his own will II AZ
