Gods chosen people? q? Have we not
passed through the Red Sea? Have
we not been led by the pillar of
smoke by day and the pillar of fire
by night? Has this nation an Ark of

the sacred chest of the nation; the
Ark of the American Covenant. In
it is the law. Give the people once
a year, or once i'll four years, au op-
portunity to express! !their sentiments
and you practically avoid revolution.
There can be no freedom without
the ballot box. / know that it has
its sworn enemies. And, first, igno-
rance is a mighty foe. Other things
being equal, the more intelligent a
man is the more qualified he is to
exercise the rights of suffrage. You
are well Acquainted with American
politics and you consider yourself
qualified to cast your vote in Novem-
ber, and you are qualified. You
take your place in the line, you vote
and pass on. Well done! But right
behind you is a man who cannot
spell comptroller, who cannot write
or read, and he will cast his vote,
and it will balance yours. His ig-
norance will balance your intelli-
gence, and all men of fair minds will
acknowledge that this is not right.
Until man can read the Constitu-
tlon of the United States, or calcu-
late the interest on the national
debt he is not fit to exercise the right
OF suffrage at any ballot box from

OF these got anything worthy of the

will be thousands of people no more
qualified to exercise the right of
suffrage than they are to lecture On
astronomy. How are these evils to
be remedied ? BY laws for compul-
sorry education. There should be a
law which should make ignorance a
crime, and we should have board
OF examination beside the officers of
registration. And let it decide
whether the man who comes to vote
be qualified or not. One of the most
awful foes to the American ballot
box is popular ignorance. Elucate
the people, and if they won't take
education deny them the vote. ZAP

Board of County Commissioners

At their special meeting yesterday
the board of county commissioners
opened a number of bids for building
the superstructure of the new court
house and Jail building. All the bids
were rejected as unreasonably high.
Our reporter was not able to ascer-
tain the exact amount of the bids, but
a commissioner said that they varied
in amounts SIS, 900, and that they
were all over $4,000. Considering
that the material is all furnished and
that t. e bills were for the construc-
ton, our builders seem to have their
ideas pretty we'll up, and as the site,
sub-struoture and material are estimat-
cd to cost in the vicinity of $4,000,
their figures would make a $4,000
court house of our swell county
building. Tho Commissioners adj
vertise in this mornings MINER for
new bids, and it is understood that a
st. Louis builder who has asked for
time to make his estimates will put
in a proposal. For the credit OF
Butte, it is to be hoped that the con-
tract will not be permitted to 60 to an
eastern city.

The Truth of It.

The Butte base ball club desiring
to have some. fun on the Fourth, chal-
lenged the Deer Lodge club, but re-
Gently organized, to q match game
July 4th. The challenge was prompt
" accepted aud then the Butte club
t%elegraphed their regrets that they
would be unable to play. Our boys
were very much disappointed and
held themselvesi in readiness to match
thu Butte boys on timely notice
whenever they are ready. We have
excellent grounds here. Why not
have q match at Deer LOdge.-NeW
North West, 6.
Several filings have been SHE'D at
the Butte nine on account of the fail
ure to make a match with the Deer
Lodge nine, among them;one from the
Lndepcndent, which considering the
evident indisposition of the Helena
nine to meet the Buttes, seemed in
rather bad form. The truth of
the matter is that the Buttes
were DESTROYS of playing the Deer
Lodge nine and invited them to the
city on the Fourth. The ~valleyites
imposed the condition that their ex-
penses should be betrayed by the
Buttes. Mr.. Cowan, president of the
Butte base ball club, was, and still
is, absent from the city, and without
his authority the funds of the club
could not be used in that manner,
and it was therefore necessary to de-
| cline the proposition. Whenever
| Helena. Deer Lodge, or any other
| club on the Pacific slope are disposed
to make it an object to the Butte
nine to play them, they will find our
boys are not backward in coming to
the front.

After tho Fourth.

The "Fourth" is with the past, and
our patriotism is gradually settling
down to the usual everyday basis.
Heads that were more or less en-
larged and that throbbed with many
an ache on the morning of the
"ffth" are fast regalning their
normal condition, and in a little
while W. all will have completely re-
gained our equilibrium.
Our trade has been bounding along
at a very satisfactory speed, and we
shall try to give it even greater
momentum in the future by the per-
sistent application of low prices, good
goods and fair dealing. The sort OF
steam that these generate is simply
irresistible and will continue to be
throughout all time. There is no
particular secret in doing a large and
profitable business, for you can al
WAYS attract the multitude if you
hold eut proper inducements. If you
make it decidedly to the pecuniary
advantage of people to deal with you
they are very apt to do so, for, to a
certain extent, We all worship the
"almighty dollar"
NOVEL SHADES.
Since the "Fourth" we have re-
ceived by express some of the most
desirable goods OF the season in kid
gloves, lace mitts, hosiery for ladies
Misses and children, parasols, New

| the new shades in gloves, mitts and

entirely consistent.
We have q new line of Newpor'
