She CAPITAL VOTE.

Under this head the New Northeast OF last
week contains the following article, which
We reprint without comment for the beneft
of the Helena public:
A question in the late campaign which was
inflated into an importance overshadowing
even the Delegate contest, on whcn more
money was spent than for oil the candidates
combined, which enlisted the services OF the
influential workers in several counties 10 the
almost exclusion of political matters, and
which attracted intensified interest IN the re-
turns, wns that of removing the seat OF gov
ernment from Virginia to Helena. There
was little importance attached to keeping
diffused throughout the Territory those gov:
ernment offices that give sustenance to local
cen,res of trade, and are directly and indl-
rectIv \ convenience and advantage to .he
neonIe MT larre. or to the fact that, with the
Capital acquired, Helena will have concen-
tr.tei there such preponderance of COM

ations. The result appears now to he favor
able to Helena by at least 300 to 400 majority,
but as four years ago it seemed to have as
certainly been 50 before the official returns
came in from Madison, it is not safe to make
a positive statement thus early. 1t is mat
ter of considerable moment to the two towns
Immediately concerned. but to other localities
is of less practical importance than the cleo
ton of almost any officer on their county
tickets 1t will be well if to this strife more
important interests have not been subordinat-
ed and sacrificed.

The Prince Of Wales, Debts.

New 1OgK, August 2.-A London letter
says that the report has suddenly gained cur
rcncy that the long expected crisis has occur
rcd in the financial affairs of the Prince of
Wales, and the ministry have made up their
mind to propose to the House of Commons
next session to pay his debts. The sum man,
ed is G4O,OOO sterling, four times the sum
voted in 1887 TO appease the creditors of that
pattern of royalty who afterward became
George ". About paying the bills there are
certain to bc two powerful and contradictory
sentiments. One is that the honor of the
nation is concerned in providing for the
debts of the future king; the other is, that
these debts are of character which ought to
he paid out of the accumulated fortune of
the Queen. The latter view is based on the
we'll known fact that the Queen has been re-
ceiving. ever since the death of Prince Al
bert, the whole income calculated at her ac-
cession to the support of the expenses of the
court in the usual degree Of splendor; that
her ma iesty has, however, lived during this
period for the most part i'll retirement, and
that the cost of the drawingroom levees and
other royal paseantry has in fact fallen upon
the Prince and Princess of Wales, whose in
come has been unequal to such burden.
The existing debts, or considerable part of
them have, according to this theory, been in
Cured in the discharge of these duties, hence,
it is urged, the Queen, who has had and kept
the money given her by the state for such
purposes, ought to pay them. The Prince of
Wales has G40,00G year, plus the revenue
of the Duchy of Cornwall, which amounts to
over f1OO, 900 per annum.

Secretary Bristow will not attempt to nego-
tiate the $500, ZOO, 900 of A per cent bonds.
but will recommend to Congress that the in
terest on them be increased to 5 per cent,
