HARD work does not agree with Secretary
Lamar, though he is not averse to it. The
Southern climate is not calculated to pro-
duce hard-workers and in this physical and
climatic fact may be found one Of the rea-
sons for the partial failure of the New
Orleans Exposition. The people of warm
climates are not endowed with the energy,
enterprise and enthusiasm hat we find
among the sturdy sons OF the mountains
and OF colder regions.

BULLION valued at $4,000 was piled in
front OF the Pacific Express office, yester-
day. It attracted considerable attention
from strangers and yet was an everyday
affair. Five hundred thousand dollars is
paid out monthlyi in wages in Butte and the
product OF the camp is constantly increas-
ing. At the present rate OF increase Butte
will have 10000 people within two years.
There is no boom in the camp, but an
abundance OF activity.

TEST your fire hand-grenades. In the
First National Bank at Idaho Springs, Col
orado, a student lamp caught fire, and six
of the alleged fire-extinguishing grenades
were broken over the lamp, with the effect
of spreading the oil and flames wherever
fluid from the grenades flowed. The gren-
AIDES proved perfectly worthless and had no
effect on the flames. There is much indig-
ly everybody invested in the grenades and
hate to find themselves %defrauded. Are the
grenades so literally scattered about Butte
any better?

FERDINAND WARD says he is not guilty.
THE MINER, fully conscious OF his guilt,
would not be surprised if he proved HIM
in Colorado and j land and cattle specu-
lator in New Mexico, and that should grad

He was an apt student and re shall be
surprised il he has not well covered his
tracks and carefully avoided criminal re-

THE following from the New York Mining
Record contains a great deal OF truth in a
few words: 1.-THE malady OF the epoch is a
financial feudalism, as it has been aptly
characterized-one essentially more grind
ing than the military feudalism OF former
ages and without any OF its good qualities,
with which, indeed, our money lords have
naturally no sympathy whatsoever"

THAT magnificently managed property,
the Moulton mine, has declared a dividend
of X cents, payable on the 18th inst, and
the Alice has declared a dividend O 6Acents
payable on June Sth. This means that for
the last quarter these two properties have
hadsurplus earnings to the extent OF $685.
900, the Moulton OF $4,000 and the Alice
of $685. 900. Butte is, as we have hereto
fore remarked, a dividend paying camp.

AT the Roosevelt hospital in New York, a
few days ago, an operation with the knife
was performed upon al ~18-year-old lady,
for a cancer similar to that with which Gen.
eral Grant is suffering. The operation was
witnessed by several OF General Grants
physicians. It was skillfully and success
fully done, but the patient died the same
night. The fact only convinces the friends
of the old hero that he has received the
best and most skillful treatment possible.

The shooting OF the man Henningar, in
German Gulch, on Wednesday, was a vul-
gar assassination, the perpetrators OF
which should be brought to justice. 1t was
a cold-blooded murder, with nothing to
excuse or extenuate it. The man guilty OF
the crime should be hanged, and no obsta-
cles should be permitted to stand between
the crime and the just punishment OF the
man who committed it.

DECORATION DAY was more generally OBJ
served throughout the country this year
than ever before. The ranks OF the veter-

remain increase in spirit and enthusiasm as
the years glide by. Their children, too,

Memorial day has gained such a foothold
in the country that it's perpetuity is as
sured.

By it's fair and conservative policy it has

THE Jefferson County Enterprise is the
title OF the newest newspaper venture in
the Territory. 1t is published at Boulder
City, by Mr.. Platte Burr, formerly con-
nected with The MINER. Mr.. Burr is an
excellent newspaper man and his work is
apparent upon his new venture. The
Enterprise will be a credit and a benefit to
Jefferson county and will, no doubt, receive
the support it merits.

THERE is every reason to fear that En-
peror William OF Germany is very ill and
that his dissolution may take place at any
time. The true condition of the old mon
arch is withheld from the people, but those
best informed believe that he is seriously
i'll. His death could not occur at a more
inopportune time, when the whole of Europe
is engaged in a diplomatic warfare.

IT is to be hoped that the men who are
now engaged in blowing up trains with dyn-
amite, on the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
way, may be discovered and brought to
punishment. It is a crime too awful to
contemplate without horror. There can be
no possible excuse for such an act, and the
perpetrators are entitled to no considera-
ton or sympathy. The company should
spare neither efforts nor means in bringing
those offenders to Justice.

1.-THE report that Russia has sneeringly
declined friendly overtures from Turkey
must be taken cum grano salus. The Al
ghanistan situation is not so satisfactory
to the Russians as the cablegram would
make it appear, and Turkey is a factor not
to be ignored, much less insulted.

The Preventive OF a Terrible Disease.

No disorders, except g the most deadly forms
of lung diseas', involve such a TREMENDOUS de,

become ehronic-and none are so LIABLE to assume

cine, naturally consequent upon Its diruetic ac-
ton, is the elimination from the blood of impur-
tiles which beget rheumatism, neuralgia, govt,
dropsy and other maladies. By increasing the
activity of the kidneys, it augments the depura-
tive efficiency of these orgaus. which are most
important outlets for the escape of such impur-
tiles.

A gentleman residingin Germantown told
one OF our reporters or Monday evening
that his father succeeded in driving the
sparrows away from his premises by a
very simple method. A dark mass of green
ivy covered one side of the house entirely,
and here the sparrows gathered in vast
numbers. The family were perpetually an
noyed by their clatter. One day he pur-
chased half a pound Of red pepper, and,
going up to the third story he opened the
windows and sifted the pepperdown through
the ivy. The alarm of the sparrows was
evinced by the haste in which they LETT
their hiding places Every bird took it's de-
parture, and, having once taken up their
abode elsewhere, his premises were compar-
atively clear of them.
