Washington guild nuncs are shay

Mcdonald, Of Indiana, is in that
city and they have worn out their
pencils in an attempt to connect his
sudden appearance in New York and

say he has made II very important

course this discovery fills Mcdonald
with alarm and "he is doing his best

THE BROTHERHOOD YIELDS.

The agony is over. The telegra-
piers strike is at an end. Our dis
patches tell the story. Operators are
permitted to go to work-if they can.
It is hoped the company will not re-
fuse the services of all their first-class
operators. The business community,
the press and the people generally
have suffered. loss on account of the
strike. Inefficient operators have
handled the keys long enough. They
undoubtedly did the best they could
do, and will gladly resign the keys
to more experienced hands. If the
company entertain the same regard
for the public interests it does for its
own nearly all the old hands will re-
sumo their chairs. There may be a
few who have forfeited all claims to
the company's forbearance. Of course
they must go. But the great majority
may be trusted again. Let us have
peace and geod...seryice again all
along the lines.

THRIFT.

On another page will be found the
report of an interview with Dorsey
by a correspondent of the n. Y. Sun.
One feature of Dorsey's ranch re-
ferred to by the correspondent is that
He has a fence thirty miles long,
that cost $4,000, and that requires
the daily attention Of two mounted
men to see that it is always in re-
pair" The World, in commenting
on this evidence of Dorsey's marvel
ous thrift, says: "Thus is Republican
craftsmanship illustrated. Dorsey
went into the Senate poor; he lived
like a fighting cock on his salary of
5000; he had no other visible occu-
patton or source of income; yet when
he retires from statesmanship and
builds a casual fence on his ran ch he

in Indiana. We accept both vindi-
cations. But if Dorsey had had any

THE MINING

The New York Financial and
Mining News, of the 18th inst, COM
menling upon the mining market
says: 1.-The ghost of the mining
market continues to walk around to
ave funeral expenses. 1t is a sad
eyed ghost and it revives painful
memories of the roseate past, memo
ries all the more painful because they
appear to be all that is left to us.
The villains who slew the business
are afraid to look this ghost in the
face, for fear that their guilt may be
again recalled to the public mind, so
they hold aloof and let matters drift
as they will. The well-meaning per-
Sons to whom the task of resurrecting
the business has fallen seem unable,
at present tn accomplish the task
and while things do not get any
worse, because they are already as
bad as they can be, it cannot be said
that they show much improvement"
It is hardly necessary to state the
cause of this depression in mining
stocks. Wild cat" constituencies
spectators, repeated assessments,
and inefficient management have all
played their part in creating it.
While many mining camps w might
mention have done much toward
fostering a feeling of distrust In min
ing we are pleased to note the fact
that thus far that charge cannot be
laid at the door of Butte. She
has offered to investors mines,
not wild cat; paying properties,
not losing speculations; low rates,
of taxation; not exhorbitant levies
and such other inducements to CAPT.
talists as grow out Of such favorable
conditions. 1t behooves mine own
ers, mining men, merchants, and all
other business men, farmers, mechan-
les and workingmen generally to see
to it that. no bar be presented to the
presence of capitalists in our midst
and that not a single straw be laid in
the way of their investment in u
mines.i
Our taxes should be kept down to
the lowest possible point consistent
with good government, expensive
public buildings should be dispensed
with and a rigid economy be prac-
t1ced in the expenditure of all public
moneys. Let this be done and
though other mining camps may suf-
fer by "want Of confidence" Butte
will present a safe and favorite field
for investors in mining stocks. Let
us prove to the world our implicit
faith in the richness and abundance
OF our resources by a business-like adj
ministration of our public affairs,
and not destroy confidence in our
confidence by borrowing, like spend
thrills, on promises to pay, and in
curing a huge debt which it will be
charged will be left for other to pay.

A FALSE ASSUMPTION.

It is an admitted truth that the
building industry in Butte is brought
to a dead standstiil becauseof the ua-
certainty of the completion of the
court house. If the proposition to
vote bonds should be defeated on
Monday, and the fact that the people
of Silver Bow county have not faith
enough in their mines to finish u
much needed public building be pro-
claimed, not onlv would it be used to
serious detriment by rival towns,
but our citizens would be discour-
aged and b ilding Improvements
would be a lost art in our midst. This
is a pertinent matter for city mechan-
les to ponder.-In;er Mountain last
evening.
The resort to an argument of the
above character indicates the weak
ness Of the aus of the advocates of
the loan proposition and the despe-
rate straits to which they are reduced.
There is not a citizen of Butte who
does not know the real cause of the
utter stagnation of the "building in
dustry." That it is or has been in
tluenced one iota by 1.-THE uncertainty
of the completion of the court house"
is the sheerest nonsense. The fact is
there has been no building to speak
Of this season. Those buildings
which were in course of construction
when the loan was preached are be-
ing prosecuted to completion. The
stoppage Of work on the court house
has had no effect upon them, and we
We challenge the Inter Mountain to
cite an instance in proof of its asser-
ton.
The truth of the matter is Butte
has a sufficient number of business
houses and residences to accemmo-
date the wants of the people, and I'M
til more mines are opened and mills
and smelters shall be built there is no
demand for more. Every business
man and every citizen knows this to
be the fact. There is another thing
they may learn to their sorrow and
that is: if this loan be granted and
the county be immersed in the debt
which will certainly follow, capital
will be in no hurry to open more
mines or build mills and smelters in
this county. It would rather 90 to
another county where the rate of tax
alton is lower, and build up Ana
condas to work ores. In that case
the building industry" in Butte will
remain at a standstill for an indefi-
mite period of time. Any intelligent
man can see this.
