WHAT has become OF the horse car pro
ject? A city with $4,000 population is
amply able to support such an enterprise.
Many provincial towns with less than one
half the population O Butte, boast OF their
passenger cars and they are so literally pat
i ronized as to enable the companies to pay
handsome dividends. 1t seems as though
there was a lack Of public spirit and enter
nrise among our capitalists.

In a newly settled mining camp, the peo-
pie might not complain, because they are
required to ascend or descend a few steps,
on the sidewalks, in front of each property;
but in d irst-class city such a thing is a
nuisance, which ought to be at once
abated. The city, some day, may have to
pay a good round sunni in damages, to some
unfortunate whose neck or limb may be
broken by these man-traps. A word to the
wise is sufficient.

LABOR troubles have broken out again in
Pennsylvania. A number OF strikers among
the coal miners, 200 strong, made a raid
upon the scabs at work at Fourth pool,
near Pittsburg. The strikers gained pos
session OF the mine and roughly handled their
a~dversaries. A number of iron and coal
police were present, but, owing to the des-
perate and determined manner OF the riot
ers, they remained at a respectful distance
and with the utmost indifference viewed the
fight.

honor OF both the day and event he had
prepared a regular least and it was duly

that the ball was a complete success, and

THE legislature has been in session
now for over three months and has
pass ed all-told about dozen of bills,
some of which would as well have
been left unpassed. The session may
be prolonged to $50 days-that long
the pay will run. Of course, so long
as the money comes, will the session
last and no longer. The most i'm
portant bills will then be crowded in
the last few days and will be disposed
fin such o hurry that nobody, except
q few ofthe conference committees, will
know very much about them, or else
they will be left, as was the case in
the last legislature. The first 100
days were past last week and longer
the session should not have lasted. 1t
is to be hoped that our lawmakers
will complete their difficult tasks in
these additional SO days, so that the
state treasury does not again need to
spend $500, 900 for an extra session.,
