THE New York Herald pertinently asks:
"should capitalists who combine to lift the
price OF coal complain that Ia borers com
bin to lift the price OF work? Should can
italists who pool their money to corner a
necessary OF life blame the bread winners
for combining to corner their skill and
brawn?" This is q question which the
average capitalist will shrink answering.
A discussion OF the question would be sure.
says the San Francisco Chronicle, to dis.
close the fact that the first to move in
the matter are the capitalists. Let the
history OF labor be studied in this country
and it will be seen that wages have been de-
pressed by combinations of EMPLOYERS
much oftener than they have been forced
up by strikers. It is always well to under.
stand both sides OF a dispute before at.
tempting to settle it. Thus, for instance
before unqualiiedly condemning boycott
ing as a device OF the laboring man. IFS
origin should be inquired into. 1t will be
foundo on investigation that in California. !
least, it is a corporation device, and that
it was practiced for many years by Croker |
and his associates before boycott OF Ire
land was ever heard Of. That is one of the
why we don't take kindly RI tho
thiny. The Central Pacific used the how.
,ott as an engine to compel men to submit
TO it's e%xactions, and there is danger that Il
will be a weapon OF tyranny, no matter bv
whom it is welded.

COMPLAINTS have been made at this of.
flee that members OF the B;iou
(thirteen in number) on boarding a car at
the the Butte depot on Sunday took pos
session OF the entire car and compelled the
regular patrons OF the road to ride on the
platform. When the theatrical gang re-
turns to Butte, as We are informed they
intend to do, we would suggest that "a
cattle car be put on for their special &C.
commodation, and that they be given the
choice OF riding therein or footing it.. Dra-
matte lurninaries who are working for ten
dollars a week have no license in this u
try to put on any style OF this sort. 1t is
said they we've ably assisted by one Sam.
Alexander, a bill sticker OF Helena.
As usual our unamiable contemporary
is Off its base. The facts in the case are
simply these: The parts for the play Of
MY Partner" which is to be produced in
Helena, did not arrive until Sunday. To
the end that the members of the
company might study their parts un-
isturbed,3 Manager Mcguire chartered a
car for their exclusive use, for which he
paid and which no one had a right to enter.
The company viii probably return to Butte

MONSIEUR PAsrEuR discovered the diyid-
ing line between organic and inorganic
matter, and demonstrated his discovery so
that it is nov a scientific fact recognized by
all students, that life can never be the
result OF any combination OF chemistry,
nor be produced except as the Creator has
ordained, and this statement comes not
from a theological but from n scientific
standpoint, and from a nation VIGOROUSLY
atheistic. Who or what this Creator is
science cannot tell. NJ. Pasteur's other
great discovery was the remedy for phylox-
erie, which was destroying the grape vines
OF France, and Professor Huxley estimates
that this discovery alone saved France
enough to pay the war indemnity resulting
from the Prussian war. It is to the credit
OF the Stanley Club, which is composed
mostly OF American and English journalists
and artists, that it has been the first body
honor NJ. Pasteur publicly, in a social
way, since mis- discovery OF the remedy or
preventive Of rabies.

LEAD has been unusually dull at all
points OF distribution. Plumbers and
house builders at many points Of the
country have been on the strike together
with painters, and the result has been that
the delivery OF manufactured lead has been
from 90 to 80 per cent below the average,
and has had it's effect upon the purchases
OF raw material. Sales at all points have
scarcely exceeded 1900 tons, whereas the
average should be nearly 5000 per week.
Notwithstanding this light demand, prices
have been very steady at $4.5O@4.55
St. Louis, $4.6O@4.65 at Chicago
and $4.7O@4.75 at New York. All
importation at thepresent time is checked,
since 90 cents per 100 pounds is as CON-
plete q barrier to importation as l cent
per pound. Refiners see the wisdom of
holding prices just below Importation rates,
and Intercourse is un~questionably the best
possible for the interests of all who are en-.
gagged in lead raising and smelling. The
Englieh price has not varied from f13 5s.,
which would lay down lead at New York
at s .s5@4.9 90, duty paid. Mai advices.
however, point out the probability OF
larger market supplies there very 500
which renders it not improbable that our
own market must recede q triAe 30 as to
keep safely below any possible importation
figures.

ToRNADoEs swept over a large portion of
the country, yesterday. These phenomena
should receive close study on the part of
our Weather Bureau. Singular that up
to now inquiry in this direction has been
made, even so far as America is concerned,
by foreign scientific bodies. In a report to
the French Academy OF sciences on the 172
tornadoes recorded in the United States in
1884, Mons. Faye considers it established
that there is a definite portion OF an area OF
low barometer mostfavorable to tornadoes.
The Signal Service reporters are now endeav-
oring to determine this dangerous octant"
more accurately. A memorable day
in the history Of tornadoes was February
10, 1884, when no less than forty-fve were
recorded in the Southeastern States,
attended with a total loss OF 500 lives,
2 500 injured, 10000 houses and buildings
destroyed, and $4,000 people left home
less. This year will come UP to the stand.
ard Of 1884. It has been a very serious
year-for those living in the region OF the
dangerous octant."

IT is 4 pleasure to witness such dramatic
performances as those given during the
week just closed by Manager Maguire's
company at the Grand Opera House. No
better company or one more evenly bal
aneed has yet appeared upon the
boards OF the Grand. There are not
more than four Of such actors
as F. ]. Buckley in the coun-
try, and Manager Mcguire was
most fortunate to secure his services and
IS to be commended for the enterprise he
has shown in bringing SO excellent and so
high priced an actor to entertain the people
Montana. Mr.. Buckley is an actor who
is in constant demand in his profession at
large figures, and is already engaged to sup
port Miss Davenport in Fedora" next
season.

IMPROVED health laws appear to have
produced remarkable results in England
and Wales, a decided reduction in the death
rate having nov been maintained for ten
years and been much greater during the Sec
ond half OF that period than in the first.
So great has been the recent that,
as the Registrar-Gene points out, more
than 281 900 persons survived the last five
years whose deaths would have been re-
corded had the mean rate OF mortality been
equal to that prevailing in the ten years
1S71-S0. The effect on longevity has been
indicated by Mr.. Noel Humphrey, who
states that the reduction in the death rate
from 22.5 in 183S-54 to 2O.S in 1S76-SO
has added two years to the life OF every
male born, and three years and a half to
that OF every female.

The clouds seem to be closing in on tho
poor frank King OF Bavaria. His mad
ness has become desperate and his bank
ruptcy hopeless. The next act in the
drama will be his deposition and his COM
mission to the care of the doctors. After
that, what will happen can be easily sur
missed. 1t is vel to remember one thing to
the credit OF this insane victim OF his own
vanities and vices, now that they are on
the verge OF wreaking their punishment on
him. But for his munifcence, the most
original and commanding musical genius of
our time might have persisted in obscurity,
or ended his life in despair. His support Of
Wagner may have been a selfish freak, but
is sufficient that he did support him.
Future generations, to whom the best OF
Wagner will be the heritage, while his
feebleness and mannerisms will have died |
away, will perhaps have a thought OF good
will for the maniac who made the accom-
plishment OF his inspirations possible when
all the rest OF the world drew back from
them in doubt or rejected them with scorn.

: SENSATIONS Of vision require a definite
time of exposure OF the retina, which time
Mr.. J. NJ. Cattell, of the University OF
Leipsic, finds to be considerably dependent
on the nature OF the object and the inten-
sity OF the light. It varies with the sew
eral colors. Orange gives the quickest i'm
preston On the eye, and yellow closely fol-
lows it; then come blue, red and green;
while the retina is least sensitive to violet
light, the time for which is from two to
three times as long as for orange. By lamp
light the eye works more slowly than by
is changed to orange, red, yellow, violet
and blue. There may be value in this for
railroad companies, who are just O very
severe on the eyes OF their employees.

A GRAND MINSTREL SHOW.

Bairds' Minstrels opened ia the Grand
Opera House last evening to one of the
largest audiences that ever assembled in
the house. The show was an excellent one.
The singing was very good and the olio was
a, satisfactory as it could be. Mr.. Conk-
iing's elastic, grotesque business was excel
lent, as was Mr.. Carts trombone solo. The
female presentations of Roselle were
well received. The Leech Brothers
gave a beautiful, refined, musical
and terpsichorean speciality act, which
was wildly applauded. James Green's
eccentric comedy and grotesque dancing
won deserved applause. No mor refined
act was ever given in a minstrel show than
the royal handbell ringers, led by the fam
GUS and veteran, VIM. H. Peak. The clog
dancing vas splendid and the aiter-piece
was funny and interesting. The company

ONE OF the marvels promised at the pres.
ent day, with good prospects OF realiza-
ton, is that the blind shall see. Already
has such partial success attended the sub
stitution OF perfect rabbit eyes for imper-
feet human ones that the process OF seye-
grating seems likely soon to become a
practical reality. But there are many eyes
which DR.. l.. Martin, of Marseilles, has
now discovered may be readily repaired.
In a very large proportion OF cases blind
ness proves to be due to opacity OF the
cornea, and when this alone is the cause
DIR. Martin accompiishes the miracle of
restoring sight by inserting into the eye
ball a gold Or platinum tube, through
which artificial cornea the rays of light
reach the retina. Medical science is making
progress after all.

WITH every year, says the Dramatic
makes the chronicles of the stage grow
more numerous. The old complaint that
the actor had too few historians is likely
to soon be supplanted by that that he has
too many. The greed with which the public
devours anything relating to the stage and
its people is shown, too, in the large inn
p%ortance given to dramatic news by the
daily press. The most trivial events
are reported at length, If they only con
Germ an actor or actress, and the pro-
f%essional insignif:cance OF the hero OF
heroine is II % drawback to the Importance
given to his or her exploit or misadventure.
What with collapsing companies, benefits,
stage strikes, new engagements and kim
dred topics, the papers bristle every morn
ing and every evening with information OF
the playhouse. The press is making a great
deal OF capital out OF a very small sum of
fact in most instances, but the public
doubtless absorbs it all with quite
as much interest as it Goes the
most momentous events OF the day.
Ii this condition OF affairs proves moth
ing else, it shows how much nearert the actor
is constantly drawing to his patrons. The
scope popular interest takes demon
that the sentiments reaching every
Of society. The most pretentious
periodicals, as well as the cheapest news
papers, turn their attention to the subject. |

Why do we hear nothing more about
American horses on the English turf? Have
the high expectations formed OF them a
few years ago proved delusive? Then
every horseman in the country was on the

can horses to compete successfully with
those OF England and France would be re-
moved. But such has not been the case.

check its ravages must be hailed with Joy

sumption so as to make incubation
Herewith practically useful against the dis
ease, either as a preventive measure, like
vaccination against small pox, or as a

success are remote, the investigation is APP

toward defraying the expenses.

anniversary Of the discovery of America by
Christopher Columbus is beginning to be
regarded in a good many quarters as some
thing eminently proper to be done and
properly done. The Italians in America
were the first to breach the subject, but
the American Historical Association has
now come to the front and has appointed Il
committee to ask the PRESIDENT to draw the
attention OF Congress TO the subject. One
OF the difficulties will be to determine how
the thing shall be done, whether by general
observance or by some special demonstra-
tim like the Centennial. If the latter,
there will be an immediate contest for the
honor of having it.

The death OF Charles F. Woerishoffer re-
moves from the arena Of speculation one OF
the most important bear factors. He was
a man OF immense wealth and in the mar.
ket at the time OF his death. His brokers
state that 'he was long of wheat, but that
there is no chance OF its coming upon the
market, and those who sold on that sup.
position will have to buy it back from some
one else." He was for many years the con-
trolling holder of the stock in the Denver e.
Rio Grande Railroad Company and his
sudden death may complicate the pend
ing settlement in that stock, It is to be
hoped that this may not be so.

The fact that the Leadyille Water Worl

THE fact that the Leadville Water Works
Company intends to expend $4,000 in
extending it's system through the city,
shows that Leadville is growing and that
one company at least is not afraid to in
vest money there. Only upon the n.y.
pothesis OF the continued prosperity
Of Leadville as a city can the
Water Company hope to get adequate
returns upon it's proposed investment.
This action OF the company is, therefore, a
NOSE emphatic declaration OF a belief in
Leadville and its future. This goes to
show that the much-abused mining camps
are not SO uncertain as is generally
believed.
