Na,,onai Park Vandalism.

OeDEH, Sept. 18.--vlsitors from the Vel.

cd over one hundred and fly pounds. This
eeyser was one OF the most regular and
beautiful In the Park, but the injury has
rendered It's flow abnormal, and decreased

The Alta Purchase, and Why.
Sat Lake Tribune, 18Th.

The purchase Of the Alta California by
ex-Lieutenant Governor johnson, and the
announcement that It will advocate the nom.
ination of Judge Field for President, sug.
gests combinations which may make break
ing up of parties in California. The Exam
liner represents the cbivalry wing of the
Democratic party. II the dispatch prove:
to be true that the Alta has been bought by
any one who will urge the nomination OF
Judge Field, IL means that an effort is to be
made 10 draw the Democrats who ale not
Chivalry Democrats into combination with
one wing of the Republican party, and 10
try TO secure the control of the State. The
Argondm OF last Saturday devoted a great
deal OF space TO showing why the Democracy
pr California should give Judge Field uni
ted delegation IN the National Convention.
Part Of what the Argonam said was true
and part was not. He is one of the pro-
foundest jurists in the world. Beyond that
it is better to say that he is gifted and
pleasant gentleman, and let the matter rest.
The IrgonaH has more than once threat
ened that unless Blaine shall be nominated
next year, the Republican party In Califor-
mia shall be defeated. Now IL is working
for Fields nomination. A Democratic or.
gan is TO be started to champion the same
thing. But the chivalry do not like Judge
Field, notwithstanding that lately he has
strongly bid for their support by advertising
that the General Government shall refund
to the South SIC, O00, 600 collected from the
celebrated cotton claims (being money col.
lected by an export duty which was put on
cotton at the close of the wary The Exam,
iner is fighting the Central and Southern
Pacific Railroads furiously. The 1rgondut
is an organ of the roads; Judge Field has de
cided so many opinions in favor of the roads
that bis enemies call him ga railroad Judge;'
doubtless the Alta will covertly favor the
roads, and the railroad companies always
favor their friends. So we take it, the inten-
ton is TO try to unite the Conservative Dem
ocrats with the half-breed wing Of the Re-
publican party, and by railroad help carry
the State. II looks like strong programme
and still we have an instinct that when the
full plans develop in a campaign they will
fail. Some things cannot be united.

Bill NYE and the boomerang are at log
gerheads. Nye is Postmaster at Laramie,
which position he probably got by virtue Of
being editor of the boomerang. He then
edited the paper on the side. Daring the
last few months he has had tho cerebro spi-
nal meningitis and was absent, but recently
returned. He has now severed his relations
with the Boomerang anil sued it for $500
back salary alleged to be due him. The
boomerang responds that It Is not indebted
to Nye and alleges that he has absorbed
nearly all the earnings Of the paper. There
Is nothing funny about the matter TO those
concerned.

New York, September 1.-THE bears
raided Willard shares to-day, forcing North

shorts in these stocks are compiling circular

graphic orders were sent from Philadelphia
10 sell shares in this market, with a view Of
creating the impression that the long stock

depression in Northern Pacific TO a very
slight extent, prices falling off only to per
cent. AT the close there was a rally of ! to

Oh, Euphemia, can you ask 1t?
We have your poetic task, it

The n. Y. Herald estimates that there are
no less than 5000 unemployed men seeking
employment as book keepers in hat city at
present, and unable to secure work even at
ridiculously low prices. The men have
spent their lives in Office work, and know
nothing else. They can find no occupation.
The Earl of Onslow, who has made him
self noted by demanding whole car to him
self in the Willard party, is thirty years old,
and succeeded his grand uncle as the fourth
Earl of Onslow in 1870. The first peer of
the name was Speaker of the House Of Com
mons in 170S, and on the accession of George
L. was appointed Chancellor Of the Ex-
cheguer. The achievements Of his success
sors are not recorded in history.

THE Auant Courier becoming impressed
with the idea that a scheme was on foot in
Helena to procure an extra session Of the
Legislature this winter, stated the fact and
that II could see.no good reason for having
one. The Helena papers deny having heard
of any such project and are also opposed to
e having O session.. On the other hand some
of the Yellowstone valley journals favor
having session. There are too many regu-
liar sessions when they are held every two
years, and we do not know Of any issue that
would justify the calling of an extra one at
present. Moreover, we think Bro. Anderson
must have misunderstood some reference to
the assembling of the Constitutional Con-
vention next winter. If there Is movement
on foot for session we have not heard Of 1t.

ONE of the biggest and checklist swindles
in America is the lottery business. Nine.
tenths of 1t is fraud. They pay higher pri'
ces for advertising than any other patrons
and are more persistent in clamoring for

reading notices." We have regretted TO see
some Montana papers admit these swindling
advertisements, and are glad to see the Post

fused TO deliver valuable letters 10 one OF
them. Keep clear of lotteries.

THE BENEVOLENT BOARDS,

The House yesterday passed the bill of
Senator Brown providing for the election by
the General Assembly of the boards of trus-
tees of the benevolent institutions. This is
glarlng and fragrant effort of the most ma
malignant party type to secure public pat
ronage.
The Governor, as required by law, had
filled by appointment these offices with
gentlemen who never asked for or
dreamed of them and who would
have spurned them as reward for political
services. General Coburn refused at first the
use of his name, but at the urgent instance of
the Governor permitted its presentation for
confirmation. He was attacked in the Senate
as "anrextreme PARTISAN" when upon this
very subject he has a record of
the most liberal character. He
has for years advocated, in articles written
for this paper, in public speeches, and in
private, the passage of law providing for
board of inspectors for all of our benevolent
and penal institutions composed of large
number of benevolent and intelligent per-
sons of both political parties. He was the
author of the bill of Mr.. Furnas
providing for forty inspectors, to serve
without pay, except expenses; to be COM
posed equally of both parties; to be divided
into sections of five each; to visit these insti
tutions, and to meet with the Governor and
make report of the condition of all, thus
securing non-partison control and manage
ment. The other gentlemen named are free
from any faint of partisanship as connected
with these institutions But this cannot be
said of the Democratic aspirants for these posi-
tons, They are seeking these offices; they are
quarrelng over the spoils; they are, with
hungry jaws, snarling for the crumbs. They
are shamefully striving to grab these places
as rewards for partisan work.

THE gentlemen in charge of the Royal
Hand Bell Ringers entertainment at the
Park Theater tonight have determined to
give tine net proceeds of the performance to
the relief fund for the flood sufferers The
object is one that appeals to everybody, while
the entertainment itself is one of the most
enjoyable that can be imagined. We heard
the troupe on Saturday night last, and moth
ing of ordinary event would prevent us from
renewing the pleasure tonight. We can
heartily commend both.the performance and
the object to the public. The Dickson
Brothers, with commendable lberality, give
the use of the theater free, and we hope to
chronicle handsome contribution for the
relief of the stricken people of Indiana.
