INDICATIONS from all parts OF b country
point to a hard struggle between the two
great parties the coming campaign. In the
large States which can at most any tim
be rated as doubtful, the hosts are being
marshaled and plans laid. Referring to the
Republican prospects in Pennsylvania the
New York Star, which is well posted, has
the following: 1.-THE Republican party Of
Pennsylvania will have to face this year q
formidable detection. led by the Prohibi-
ito lists. Mr.. Charles 8. Wolf. who a long
been the leader of the revolt against the
| Cameron machine, has solved all doubt as
| to his intentions. In a speech ut Bradford
on Tuesday evening he made a plea Tor
prohibition and vigorously denounced the
methods Of Cameron and Quay. This is
regarded as a virtual announcement that
| Mr.. Wolf will be the Prohibition candidate
for Governor and give all his energy a
second time to the defeat of Gen. Beaver,
| the candidate put forward by the machine,
! and certain of nomination.
Mr., Wolf is not a man whom the ma
! chine can disregard. He was the leader OF
the independent movement that defeated
| Gen. Beaver four years ago, and enabled
| the Democrats to elect Patti ION Governor.
In 1881 Wolf led a revolt against the Cam
eron machine, and announced himself as
an Independent candidate for State
I Treasurer. Though he had 10 convention
behind him, and was aided by no organ
;zation in the canvass, he received 5O,OOO
votes. Such an antagonist is to be feared:
and Mr.. Quay is already showing signs o
alarm. He is reported as declaring that
though the bolt may defeat Beaverton
whose nomination he still insists-it can-
not endapger Republican ~ascendency in the
legislature. This is probably true, and
Mr.. Quay, who wants to 60 to the United
States Senate, can view the situation with
equaninity; but the Republicans who have
no senatorial seat in view are not so well
content.
The situation is interesting, but the
important thing about it is the indication
it gives Of the widespread tendency .within
the Republican party to split asunder on
the liquor question. That party has long
held a large temperance vote because OF
promises that it never intended to keep.
and now that the demand for their fulfill
mcnt is made in earnest, the process OF
disintegration has begun and is rapidly ex-
teEding."

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL has been
making some noisy, foolish and uncalled
for talk against the Americans. The Lord
should not forget that his wife is an Ameri-
can, unless, perchance, she has forgotten
the fact herself. There is something in a
title and an association with the nobility
that has a peculiar effect upon American
girls who are caught by the bauble OF a
name. Naturally the stupid mouthings OF
Churchill can have no effect except to excite
either pity or contempt for the mar who
can thus gr~atu;tously insult the national
ity OF a wife who has been thus far such a
help.mate to him in HE ambitions.

ONE OF the general proposition that is
now a~gitating the public is the bill OF
Senator Beck prohibiting Senators from
being attorneys for railroad companies.
In discussing the subject the Philadelphia
News, which is one of tho few absolutely
independent papers in this country n
which is ably edited, says:
"Few lawyers like to lose the chance OF
making fat fees, even if the lawyers are
United States Senators and the fees are
offered by railroad corporations, but the
people, whom the Senatorial lawyers rep
resent, elect their Senators to loo lou Tor
the interests OF the States and OF the people
and not of the corporations as such.
Senator Beck's bill ought therefore to pass
since it prohibits any Senator from accept
ing employment from land grant railroads.
Out of the ~forty-six Senators only twelve
| are not members of the bar, and OF these
| six are railroad directors OF interested in
| railroads. With such an overwhelming
| number of lawyers and of railroad men in
| the Senate it is not unnatural that there
is q strong popular belief that railroad
| k6Rl6lAClOU ID OedlU WILL wv OAASAAoy
| Senate and that it's members are too easily
Influenced by railroad fees.
Senator Dolph, OF Oregon has introduced
a bill prohibiting every member OF either
House of Congress from accepting employ
ment from any bank or corporation OF any
kind which has received help from any
person engaged in manufacturing any
dutiable article or articles subject to Con
gressional taxation, or even from any cor
poration engaged in raising cows. cattle OF
hogs.
This bill is apparently meant to be satir'
ical, but it is more than likely that II q
vote by the people were taken they would
vote Overwhelmingly to prohibit any law
yer in Congress from selling his services to
any person or corporation, engaged in any
business which is likely to call for legisla'
ton. In the early days Of the Republic, Of
Mr.. Dolph may not know, the purest Sena'
tors refused to engage in such practice, and
the day will come, strange as it may seem
to the railroad lawyer Senators, when the
people will not tolerate any such lega|
practices by their representatives as the
latter O engagein. The railroad-lawyer
Senator is obnoxious to the public"

The second performance of tho Bari wv
Wilson and Rankin Tronpe, at the Opera
House last night, was received with more
favor even than at the previous perform
ance, and the audience was fully as large.
This is to the credit OF Butte, and shows
that the people are beginning to:appreciate
the enterprise OF Manager Mcguire in
bringing here fir~st-class entertainments,
with eaoush variety to satisfy all tastes.
The MINISTRIES will remain the entire week,
and no man, woman or child who enjoy
an evening OF genuine legitimate fun should
fail to attend at least one OF their per-
fOrmances.

Mr.. RANDALL's new tariff bill may meet
with a better reception than did that OF
Mr.. Morrison, but it is hardly to be ex-
pected that it will. As q matter of fact a
number of the members Of both parties are
opposed not so much to changes as they
are to a discussion of the subject at pres
ent. There is no special reason for fear yet
it is thought il the talk once begins there
will be no way OF stopping it. Every
member of the House will have a pet pro.
iect and will desire to air his views. AT
this late date of the session this is neither
wise nor desirable.

Miss White is an only chi'd. and ia stlll IN

and q good figure. As she ia an only eniio,
the heir to $500, 900, and OF a bright and

a great favorite with her grandfather,

brought up in the most strict manner.
She was never allowed to be away from

to some of her schoolmates residing in the

Whites parents had discovered that young
Billings was acting the part OF q devoted

wrote that when the note was found she
would be at least 100 miles away: She
took with her q large quantity OF hand

clues to the present hiding place Of the
young couple, but it is believed that they
are married and awaiting the time when
the storm shall have blown over and they
can return to Mr.. Whites house.

The sporting men OF Chicago and the
knowing ones got left severely at the open
ing races on Saturday in that city. 1t was
a cold day for knowledge, and those who
backed their Judgment and made favorites
in the pool box have good cause to wish
that they had been guessers instead OF
judges of horse flesh. Not q favorite won.
This does not often happen, yet it goes to
prove that the races were fair and that the
best animals won. While the events we're
such a surprise thereis no fault-6nding with
results. This is an exceptional feature
where there are SO many and such heavy
losers.
