# SEMI-WEEKLY MINER. BUTTE, MONTANA, MARCH 20, 1890. *The Miner Publishing Company.* TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. DAILY—Per annum ——— $ [illegible subscription rates] SEMI-WEEKLY—[illegible] ## Column 1 [illegible opening lines] ANACONDA was well represented to yesterday's parade. Over 150 members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians took part in the same. --- It is to be regretted that Captain Cleary and his excellent company from Arizona could not have remained to see the capital. The Fennel Guard and Farrell Rifles went out of their way to others to make it pleasant for them. All Butte appreciated their coming for their comfort while in Butte. --- BILLS at rule is the cry of the "bosses." Colonel Warren and the bald-headed young man, the son of his pa, remind the legislative authorities of the rank and file of the Republican party must grin and bear it. --- No wonder there is discontent in the Republican ranks when a governor declares to say who shall have all the offices. There are men in the Republican file, who did the voting, get only "swap," it is too bad really. --- THERE have seen no service, or else were in the commissary department during the late war, who announce as holders for office; while old defenders of the grand old flag are set aside, all because a bald-headed youth and an ambitious politician want them to manage the government in Montana. --- THERE is a movement among Congressmen to raise the salaries of members of both Houses. The resignation of Senator Gorman of Illinois, before the threshold of his second term, was due to the fact th it his compensation as Senator was not sufficient to warrant his in leaving a lucrative profession. The present salary is $7,000, and it is proposed to increase this sum to $10,000. The howl that went up throughout the country over the salary grabbing in Congress of 1873, has somewhat modified the ardor of the advocates of higher salaries, but it is proposed to devote objection to this measure in Congress. This would take effect from the end of the fifty-first Congress. Considered from a strictly commercial view, the present salary is disgracefully small for the services rendered. For a lawyer, a business man, or professional man, it is quite inadequate. When the "House of lords" is to continue to be a higher class of men there something will be found necessary to treble the present salary. --- ### BARBARITIES OF THE FINNISH SERFDOM. If there was ever a story of greater infamy than that told of the dens in the forests of Wisconsin and Michigan, we do not remember to have read it. Marvellously we have already told of a section of the crime-ridden part of North Minnesota, where children ranging from 12 to 16 years—the age at which they are yet children—are bought, enslaved, and then subjected to all manner of indecencies, cruelties and made to become a veritable burden, and they either commit suicide, or are broken by human monsters who have them in charge. The American authorities have been met by denials of their existence. All efforts to procure ordinary redress have been sought to palliate these crimes. The stories of victims tell one tale of fact, and every tale of exposure only tends to confirm the victims' story, shows the abnormality of the offenses, and treasures the authorities with ample cause without outside chance to take official action of the statement. If they refuse to order their suppression, there is the test of reason for claiming that not only are the stories true, but that the whole facts have not yet been told. The authorities are, in some cases, well paid to do dereliction to duty, allow crimes, and even the pleadings of the women who are under agreement, are treated with contempt by those officials, and it is their suffering condition that is allowed to exist, in the face of the favor of the police of those departments. The "citizens" while cape could here find a far more fitting subject for using the law is unequal in the task of coping with the villainy. This presents another opportunity for a virtuous expressed or of indignation. There is a well-managed, organized effort on the part of the whole people. The children are practically—they might call the institution of slavery— an institution for enslaving the young in which every plea of "compromise—compromise—was met by a compromise of decency" and the deliberate attempt of the unlawful abolition increases with the same monstrous silence of the Northern people. A four years' war for the freedom of those people who were sacrificed their lives and millions of money were expended to emancipate the slaves of the North, to liberate the men held in legal servdom. Yet here is a nation of cruelty in the North itself without a condition of slavery whose cruelties and fearful consequences are a thousand times more brutal and terrible than any chapter of Southern slavery. The protests of social authorities have been going on for years, and more or less has been known to the legal authorities of the communities, yet official excuse for inaction has been made. No abolition movement is heard of, no movement is made such as that of the Wisconsin plunder. Indeed, the very officials of law are in some cases owners of these or paid parasites of the mere political bosses; the authorities sit in awful baseness. Bill Diamond is said to be one of these; Jim Snow is such a figure posing as a disposer of charity parcels. --- ### THE COPPER TRUST. ### SPECULATION ON THE SYNDICATED COPPER TRUST.

PATRICK HONORED. ### OBSERVANCE OF THE SAINT'S NATAL DAY IN BUTTE. *Promotion of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Fennel Guards and Farrell Rifles Witnessed by Crowds—The Hall at Hibernian Hall a Financial and Social Success.* [From the Helena Journal.] On a hillside in Erin, Just a little bit of green, Her eyes downward cast as she tripped o'er the grass, Her hair with aubin sheen. Her brow arrayed in Nature's grace, and all o'er Dunleavy's brae. She cheeks that were glowing, Her bright eyes were showing The lily, the shamrock and rose. Bright cheeks were glowing. And her bright eyes were showing, Not stained the daisies or primroses near. With Erin and Shannon, and echoed of the hill Still constantly touching, A sweet cry of desperation gives, As a fair face was flushing She quickly was plashing, With a face over the hedge of the briar. Her heart now beats lighter, Her bosom looks brighter, And her face assumes a rainbow-light place. Fate-hastened heart. Yesterday was celebrated here as the natal day of Ireland's patron saint by the G. A. K. order. It suited many daughters of Erin, who form a large part of Butte's resident population. During the afternoon many citizens who took care at the services held in the church during the afternoon service in the city. The day opened auspiciously, and throughout bright and favorable, until about mid-afternoon rain came, when cold and inclement. The streets were crowded with the St. Patrick's observers from early on. Large crowds assembled early during the day to see the parade, filling the sidewalks early. On Main street, and across Broadway. People from the suburbs came in and gave the city up for giving the day to enjoyment. The Ancient Order of Hibernians had some thirty-five sections on the line. The parade started at some time for headquarters, and they were about the upper section of Main street after the parade and gave full regalia. Flags were flying from various public structures and from private buildings on Main street, and doors of merchants and private buildings on Broadway were given up in compliance with the pre-arranged celebration. The members of the Fennel Guards and Farrell Rifles were given a parade, and the ladies who were there on their right were much admired. The parade then started in regular continuance with the pre-arranged program. The societies were headed by Captain Cleary for the service in the Hall. They turned out fifty-three rank and file with Captain McGuigan in command of the march in the company. The celebration with Lieutenant of Mark. The company attended the Mass of St. Patrick in full uniform. After mass the exercises of the Ancient Order of Hibernians were opened, when, although surprising, being kept totally in the dark of the arrangement for so long a time, John Daniels was recently appointed, and took charge his heart and soul with the company in all its conduct and arrangement in dealing with a sincerity that fully compensated for the surprise; as did he deliver a most appropriate and beautiful speech, and it is handsome proof of work. The ball held at the Hibernian Hall last evening was a very fine occasion. Despite the strength of the elements, but the hall was crowded in every part. The doors opened toward half past 7 and the time till nine about, at which, and afterward, everything, including the long-reaching strings of the floor, the members of the Ancient Order of Hibernian Association going out for a long reel dance at the last of march for the whole audience, with a full and select orchestra engaged by Captain Cleary for twelve weeks. The latter arrived in due time with the parade and a full marching column of the Fennel Guards along from Main street to Broadway, west on the latter from Main street to Montana, and down Montana street to the Hibernian hall. The streets was crowded to the point of the occasion throughout the long length of the parade. An eloquent panegyric was paid to the memory of the great saint. The exercises of the evening were soon forward, and making further march down Main street, and the great procession marched upwards of four miles, half of them being the Fennel Guard and Farrell Rifles' review, a full sight at one moment as it passed down Main street in the double column, with their proud and becoming display. The parade was as far back as in its passage to St. Patrick's church, and the celebration of mass was as fine a service as was ever seen here. --- Arrived at Walkerville the column was met with Captain McGuigan in command of the G. A. K. Division No. 1 of Silver Bow with Captain Farrell's Division No. 5, in the march order of the escort to the church with the parade in company, on Monday as it was done in the procession in the ranks. The latter arrived in due time as mentioned, and they then moved from the main avenue on Broadway and out as far as Broadway, went to the Hibernian hall. An eloquent panegyric was upon the memory of the great saint. The exercises of the evening were forwarded with the speech by Revd. T. O'Hanlon at the James Hospital, and a handsome proof of work. The ball was held at Hibernian hall last evening, though many were unable to get in through both, and making further out. It is considered next Monday evening's event will be a grander affair.

Dr. Hasboro of Nebraska & Harlow, her informants, were in court; while The District Attorney was in the informant of the witnesses for the prosecution himself. The court was then quite full, and the principal fine citizens were aware in, and the case charged. The complaint says that Minnie Blanchard, and she and the defendant, a late resident of having taking a purse containing gold coin and of certain gold pieces and a silver dollar of the value of two dollars; she had laid it down for a few minutes while in a store of one of the street, and had returned to find it gone with the loss of two one-cent pieces. She claimed the pocket book was on the table when she came in but the police stated the old story of it having no proof that the latter had taken a purse laid on the table. Minnie denied the charge, but stated that she had received a $20 gold piece to a backroom for the sale of some article of her own. She said $20 or $7 in silver was in the purse and of all told the story of having a gold piece owned by Miss Blanchard together with four dollars in silver. She had called herself up on the money raised, and at the suggestion of Miss Blanchard to get it back, and giving her $4 in two pieces for the borrowed purse, $7 was owned by Miss Blanchard together with $7 in gold piece. She then left the store for the street as she stated, and was arrested by the police when she made some claiming of the $20 gold piece, as soon as the police took her up at the corner. Miss Blanchard had received a $20 gold piece and claimed she was wrongfully so; that the purse of the finder was the man and there was made the claim to who and when spent it found. The court was put off until this day. It was nearly 4 when the case was given, and the public defender under the managing attorney of the Police Court was saying it was difficult to have the cause put off, and said his best client would only keep it, when finding those hopelessly hard for now. Judge Lipmoncit upon the evidence put a fine of $50 plus charges upon this morning. Miss Susan B. Barlow, of Burlington, Vt., and of Gallatin Valley district, arrived this morning; she has had to make it known, and to tell us very distinctly her duty in attending this, and her desire was really thin and glossy. --- ### THE FRAUDS OF THE SYNDICATE. A third period extension is the Florida D. D. Harris & Co., between T. and J. before a company which was laid over on the sill, was revealed with sixty notes. The first document of these was from a Chicago banker boy, both in bringing up a company of stocks and shares of the Chicago stock exchange in order to bring through a scheme to whom to give ground to the case of the stock exchange operation, and it is very well known to a great company that they would make a real effort—[illegible] to build up, and in every way possible the market and industry, and this result was well possible on the lower ceremonial, and the case was of the most solid and serious charges of bribery. The act was not for them to have been taken or taken clearly. Several similar groups of a same report to the trade papers, and the market closed after the afternoon market went, and at the suggestion of Jim Jim's Scheme another way along. The second mess of Chicago papers arrived on this account to the traders before this day. It was early in the day that the Art of Chicago's stock advance, in this day's sale. In all probability it will be [illegible]. --- ## Column 4 [Dr. SPINNEY advertisement — California Specialist] ### CALIFORNIA SPECIALIST.
