THE shooting OF Editor Munford, in Kan

too ready shooters. If a man has a griev-

hard the Republican managers may scheme

corruption and mismanagement that
marked the latter portion Of the history Of

TIE information comes from Chicago
that on and after August l the seven prin-
cipal tbeaters OF hat city will abandon all
manner OF window advertising, and itho-
graphs, programmes, ETC., in windows will
no longer entitle any one to free admission
to theaters. This action on the part OF
the managers is taken because the highly
and multi-colored Autograph is no longer q
drawing card" and because they will not
be given room in windows without two
seats in a week being allowed for the privi-
lege of placing them therein. This will cut
of an average of three thousand dead
heads a week. Independent Of the dead
heads, the management OF the theatsrs
have shown good judgment in discarding
this expensive and useless style Of advertis-
ing. The newspaper is the proper medium
through which to reach the public. This
applies to all manner of business as well az
to theatere.

A GANG of idiots who have been holding
a session OF some kind in Boston have, after

the Presidency and the Senate OF the United
States should be abolished. As the form

the gentlemen they should emigrate and
start a little country OF their own 1t lie
not probable they will need a very large

UNDER the caption Of "Butte's Reform"
the St. Paul Globe publishes the following
editorial:
It has not been many months since Butte
city possessed the unique and unenviable
reputation of being the wickedist city in
the Northwest, If not in the entire Territory
west OF the Mississippi. This condition OF
things Was perhaps natural. The output OF
the mines was. and is, very large. the num-
Der of men employed equally as large, and
the weekly payroll something enormous.
Given an abnormally large male popula-
ton enjoying q large and steady in.ome, it
was a matter Of course that gambling and
kindred evils should flourish. And flourish
they did. Every day in the week the rattle
of CT ips could be heard sounding out from
almost every second doorway. With
scarcely any cessation the strident music
of the dance halls rang out upon the air.
On every side was to be seen the more or
less riotous relaxation Of well-paid and
wearied labor. Scenes OF extravaganza
ETY.. All this has been changed. But two
gambling houses are nov reported to be
running in the entire city. The churches
are we'll filed, and their membership is con-
stantly growing. In the schools a satisfac-
tory increase has been noted, and no less
satisia Glory decrease has been markell in the
records OF the Police and Criminal Courts.
In casting around for the reason OF this
reformation but one explanation at once
appears. For the last few years there
has been a decided addition almost weekly
to the number of Butte's fair inhabitants.
The proportion between the sexes has been
not eQualized, but rendered less divergent.
In consequence with the gallantry natural
to the far West. as women became less of a
rarity in the city, there was a toning down
of the d~iscordant elements to suit more re.
fined dispositions, and in a short time
Butte became what she O is-the model
OF an enterprising Western city.
This is all very kind, but really there does
not appear to have been any good reason
for calling Butte a very wicked city at any
time. Compared with Fl. Hayes, Abilene,
Wallace, Dodge City, Deming, Amargo,
Durango, Leadville, Julesburg, Cheyenne or
Deadwood it has always been a most quiet
and orderly town. That it has toned down
from what it was is undoubted, and that
the cause assigned is the true one is also
beyond a question. Women are the great
civilixers Of the world-the great restrain
ing power. God bless them.
