THE NEW ERA.

1t is a source Of qualification to all
who have hoped for, if not prayed
for, the Inauguration of civil service
reform rules, to learn that they have
at last been applied in one instance.
The New York Morning Journal
cites the case of one of the sweet girl
graduates of Vassar college who has
CALAMITY fought her way into the
United States Treasury under the
new civil service rules. At a COM
petitive examination some weeks
ago, for a position IN the government
pay-rolls, she eclipsed all her rivals,
and was awarded the first vacancy in
the financial fortress of the govern
ment. The name of this heroine is
Miss Minnie F. Hoyt, of Connecti-
cut. She is perhaps the only lady in
the service of the government who is
not indebted for her place to political
influence. No Congressman has sin
dorsed' her papers; ne leader of the
machine" has asked for her appoint.

mission of her proficiency in the

dents will be proud of the achieve

BOTKIN'S FIASCO.

Two or three of the Republican
newspapers of the Territory have
had much to say concerning
Marshal BotkiA's labors in gather
ing testimony preparatory to contest
ing the seat of Major Maginnis in
the next Congress. They have not
hesitated to charge that Major Ma
ginnis received his majority through
fraudulent votes and that when
Marshal Botkin completed his inves-
LEGATIONS the charge would be proven.
Major Maginnis complied with the
Marshal's request to be present at the
Investigations and put in an appear
ance by attorney at two of the prin-
cipal points in which it was charged
fraudulent voting had been permit
tea-Missoula and Custer counties.
How far the Marshal is enabled to
substantiate his claims to an election
is shown by the letter of Major Ma
ginnis which appears on another
pagein this issue. The Major de-
clines to interest himself further in
the matter and is willing to rest his
case upon the testimony Marshal
Bo]kin has elected in his searching
Investigation.
This action on the part of Major
Maginnis should close the mouths of
those Republican editors who have
persisted in maintaining that Mar
shall Botkin was ele cted by the bona
fde voters of the Territory, for, as the
Major says, not a single vote of the
large majority given him has been
impeacbed. In view of this fact it
would seem like folly on the part OF
the Marshal further to pursue his
contest. He has utterly failed to
make out q cas- and to present such
testimony he has before Congress
will result in the rejection of his
claims and subject HIM to the ridi-
cule of many he has counted as his
friends. Even the poor compensa-
ton of mileage and per diem will be
him. The farce should now
end.

A HATEFUL "REMINISCENCES

Apropos to the the impending inva-
sion of Montana by 1.-THE elite of Eu-
rope" the New York World remarks:
1.-THE departure of Mr.. Wizards ex-
cursionists irresistibly recalls the ex-
cursion party of European capitalists,
nobilities experts and Journalists, who
went out over the "banana belt' just
ten years ago. Superstitious minds
will associate the subsequent COL
lapse of the Northern Pacific scheme
and the panic, with the excursion,
and draw conclusions unfavorable to
the present excursion. But the truth
is that there was nothing more than
ar accidental connection between
the two events of ten years ago. The
panic was the settlement of accounts
in reducing values from an artificial
to a real standard, and it would have
come upon us without regard to the
excursion. 1t is, however, a singular
coincidence that just at the time
when Mr.. Willard has invited the
elite of Europe to witness the tri-
umphant completion of his road, the
securities which have withstood tn.
test of so many years should decline
l n value, as if in mockery of his suc-
cess"

T RAWLINGS.

The manly and lnagnanimous
withdrawal of Major Maginnis from
the moot contest raised by Marshal
Botkin, has caused the Marshal and
his fuglemen to ave and froth at the
mouth. While Delegate Maginnis
was represented by counsel in the in
vestigation of the late election, some
appearance Of dignity was given to
the contest ~fiasco; but when the utter
futility of the investigation became
apparent and Major Maginnis with
drew from a contest which involved
only a useless expenditure of time
and money, Botkin's weak attempt
to manufacture capital for the next
congressional campaign, lost
the only factor which gvve
the movement the least
character or importance. Most men
are gratiied when opposition is with
drawn from their cherished enter
prjses. Marshal Botkin claims to be
able to make out a case of fraud in
the election of Major Maginnis. If
such is the case, he can unseat the
present delegate with greater ease,
without opposition, than with, and
oughtto be glad that Major Maginnis
is willing to leave the field and allow
him full swing in the prosecution of
his investigation. But this is not the
case. The marshal is out in a char
acteristically rabid, open letter in the
Herald of last Monday, in
which the ethiopian in the
pickets very plainly shows his
ivories. It's not contest that Mr..
Botkin wants; it's political capital,
and he was going along swimmingly,
Initiating with I" fraudulent election"
gas the balloon which he expected
would carry him safely over the next
Congressional campaign, until Major
punctured the bubble with
one thrust of his javelin; and that Is
the reason Botkin and his friends
are now engaged in futile rawlings. |

clear. and where he gives all and
asks nothing, his motives cannot be !

Conkling's Hot Water Bath.

This is the Chicago Times account
Of the hot bath of Roscoe Conkling.
We are led to a bathing pool. into
the warm waters of which we gladly
plunge for a swim. 1t is large
enough to accommodate half a hun
dred bathers, and as one becomes ac.
custOmed to the warm temperate e,
he will gain confidence to swim across
the bubbIing stream that leads to the
pool. Mr.. Roscoe Conkling cOnclud-
ed to battle in the house near the
hotel. He informed the lad who &C.
cOmpanied him that he would dis
pense with his services, and made no
inquiry touching the temperature of
the water poured through a wosden
faucet into his pine tub. A moment
later the elegant torso, indeed all the
manly anatomy of the distinguished
statesman stood revealed. His Quick
plunge into the scalding tub was
followed by a quicker exit. He broke
open the door, and stood under the
sun'of heaven as red as a boiled lob
ster, and mad as a yellow jacket.
But with the cooling of the cuticle
his temper cooled, and, having been
informed that he should not have
ventured in the bath without advice
from the attendant, he said calmly:
II would indeed have been a wise
man to profit ty the experience of

BIRDS OF A FEATHER, ETC.

The recent meetings of the Emper.
or William with crowned heads and
high dignitaries of Europe is full OF
meaning. It is shrewdly suspected
that if France were not a republic no
cause would exist for these kingly
courtesies. But unfortunately for
the peace of European potentates
democratic ideas have taken a deep
root in that republic, and to isolate
her and to prevent her from entering
into an alliance with any formidable
power seems to be the object Of Ger
many. To accomplish this purpose a
thorough understanding is necessary
among the heads of the principal
powers. Already Francis Joseph, Of
Austria, and Kaiser Wilhelm have
held their little sociable and adjourn
ed as the best of friends. Within a
few days Alexander III. will pay his
respects personally to the great
Emperor. 1t is also officially an
aounced that the young and tender
Alfonso, of Spain, will visit Ger
many's sovereign. In all these move
ments the master hand of Bismarck
may be seen. Although he is re-
ported sick at Khssngen, his brain
is as active and healthy as ever. His
great plan is to unite the most pow
erful nations of Europe against the
of Democratic ideas, and to
stide if not destroy them in their
transatlantic stronghold France.
England may be relied upon &C maiu-
tain her usual attitude toward her
neighbor across the channel, and
Spain upon the one side and Ger
many upon the other, backed by
and Russia, may certainly
be trusted to interpose all possible
barriers against the introduction OF
hat form of government so popular
France.

Mormon Elders Pelted With Eggs

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 4.-Mormon
elders are still popping up in Various
parts of the State. Tuesday night
two elders held a meeting at Emory
Chapel, in the fourth district Of Com
eta county. The meeting was at
tended by. a good many young men,
some of whom went through curiosi-
ty, but there were others who went
from other motives. The meeting
was opened by singing and prayer,
afterward one of them got up TO de-
liver a discourse on the beauties of
Mormonism. When he bad made q
few remarks there came a voice from
the audience saying. Take him out"
The elder paused a moment then
said he was there for religious wor-
ship and hoped he would not be dis
turbed. These words had not more
than escaped his lips when they were
both pe,ted with a shower of rotten
eggs. They saw at once they had
met the wrong crowd and grabbing
their grip sacks darted out of the
nearest door pursued by the entire
audience, who chased them as long
as they could see them. The young
men, seeing their inability to keep
up with the Mormons, sent after sew
eral hounds and put them on the
lost trail and chased them several
miles when all track of them was
lost. When last heard from they
were making a bee line westward.

A Wonderful u

Some English officers who witness
sed a recent exhibition Of the Norden-
feldt machine guns" at Dartferd,
were amazed at the rapidity with
which they were discharged, though
familiar with such devices. The es-
timated service of the II barrel gun,
weighing about two hundred and
fifty pounds. is 1850 rounds minute
and the test proved the estimate true
for 600 rounds were tired in less than
thirty-two seconds. A single barrel
for cavalry service was discharged
fifty-four times in thirty seconds, and
all the shots hit the target within a
circle of the diameter of two feet.
