GEN. MILES.

All Montanians feel very kindly toward
Gen. Miles, believing him to be an able
conscientious officer, and therefore they
arc panied to note the disposition on the
part OF the army ring at Washington to
prosecute the General in the most shameful
manner. In referring to this matter the
Rocky Mountain Newsis OF the opinion that
il all the facts could be uncovered it would
be made clear that the ring in question is
anxious to humiliate Gen. Miles as a pun.
ishment for his success in putting an end to
the Apache troubles in the Southwest
Fat contracts for army supplies and trans
portation were at stake, and the ring can
have no love for the faithful and fearless
soldier who brought the last of the Indian
wars to q termination. We hope that
President Cleveland will see to it that no
injustice be done to Gen. Miles, no matter
what the ring in question may do or say to
ths contrary.

PRINCE WALDEMAR.

Prince Waldemar, recently elected to the
Bulgarian throne, is the third son of Chris.
tian TX, King of Denmark, and Louise,
Princess of Hesse Cassel. His eldest
brother, Frederick, is the Crown Prince el
Denmark, and the other brother is King
George I. OF Greece. He is also brother to
the Princers of Wales and to the Czarina ol
Russia.
Prince Waldemar is now % years of age.
He was one Of the three candidates for the
throne Of Bulgaria at the election which oc-
surred April 20, 1879, but was defeated.
The other candidates we're Prince Alexan-
der Of Battenburg and Prince Reuss, the
former OF whom was eltcted. 1t is not
known what policy he will pursue, but it is
generally understood that he is not unfa-
vorahle to the Russian interests. The
Csar, however, it is said, does not take
kindly to the young Dane, but it is quite
probable his apparent opposition is not
sincere, and that it is a piece of Russian
diplomacy intended to lead the people OF
Bulgaria into the belief that Waldemar is
opposed to Russian interference III the af-
fairs Of that principality.

The New York Mail and Eh press of the
9th inst. has the following bit of news
which escaped the Associated Press re.
porters: The Henry George party of the
Fourteenth Assembly district ran against
snag at their meeting last evening. They
set out to adopt a constitution and found
in the preamble a recognition of the Father.
hood of God and the brotherhood of man.
Immediately number of delegates pro-
tested that they did not believe in a God
at all and would not subscribe to a consti-
tuition that recognizes one. So hot was the
discussion that the consideration of the
preamble was laid over. To his honor and
his race be it said, that the chief defender
OF the preamble as it stood was an Irish
man."

CONGRATULATORY.

Under the above caption the Billings
Gazette pays the following deserved com.
pliment to the ''press cang'' of the Terri.
tory: AFTER one OF the longest and most
hotly contested election contests ever held
in the Territory the Montana Press Asso-
ciation can look over the list of killed,
maimed and missing, and though they
took an active part in the fight. they will
fnd but few casualties among their num-
ber. Several of the members have been
elected to Office, and all have SO conducted
themselves as to be entitled to Especial
mention in the dispatches" But above
all things the association has reason to be
proud OF the fact that no member has been
badly wounded by a fellow member. How
ever hotly waxed the battle and however
bitterly the different points were disputed,
the editors kept the fact in view that
though partisaus they were gentlemen, and
treated one another accordingly. There
was. to be sure, little badinage, but no
ill-natured things were said, and were a
meeting of the association to be held to-
nothing that has occurred would |
prevent . most friendly greeting among one
and all. All OF which is greatly to their
credit"

Copper has manifested no specially new
features during the week, but the same dia-
metrically opposite tendencies in the Lon
don and New York market which existed
six weeks ago have again been shown. At
New York, the price for Lake is floating
around just below the IL cent. level, with
$11.7O paid for November and December,
$11.75 for January, $11.8O for February
and IL cents for March and April. The
same advance, however, has not held good
for outside brands, since Baltimore can he
had at $1O.5O and even $1O.4O for deliv-
cries over five months, while Anchor and
Oxford are obtAinable at intermediate
figures. Meanwhile, the London market
has declined 5s to 445, 15s for Best Sc
lected, with Chill bars f4O, 12s, 6.], and yet
Am. rican matte is being re-exported from
Liverpool to New York, because our domes.
tic Eastern refiners are SO short OF furnace
material. In fact, we could not have a
more complete Inconsistency in the move
ment and relative prices OF copper. The
reports of our large American mines start
ing up SO actively have not been justified,
and there is every prospect even now that
they will remain closed sufficiently long to
bring about the confirmed advance which
is now promised.

ANACONDA, November 13, 1855
A few days ago, in an article under -,

OF the Anaconda Smelling Works vas tI.,

correct it.
When your readers take into consider,
ton the fact that outside opinion and ou.
side irf1uenceis largely Instrumental in d.,
termining the ultimatnm OF the workin,
men of Anaconda as to whether thew viii
or will not accept the reduction proposedbv
the Anaconda Smelling Works, and th,t
such opinion and influence is necessa,I,
based upon and greatly biased by the h.
formation obtained through the press tbs
extent OF the injury wrought by your mia
statement and the reasons for correctp,
the same becomes apparent to all.
The Anaconda Smelling Works emplor
when running, four classes of laborr
paying them wages ranging from $3.50 10
81. 90 per diem. The proposed reduction
was $1.OO per day for the highest class Of
labor, and so cents on all Others, with the
exception OF the charge wheelers, whose
wages, because OF the laborious character
of their work, We're to remain So. 90 dav
as formerly. In other words the $3.50
men were to be cut to 50 so. the So men
to $500, and the $500 men to $3.50
with the exception above roted, and men
working in the concentrator whose wass
will not be changed.
1t will be observed from this that the
| actual reduction OF wages contemplatedby
| the Anaconda Smelling Works is neitherso
low nor so sweeping in its character as
your per made it in the article adverted
to, and as it is due Mr.. DAILY and the com.
pany he represents that the public under.

will give this space in your columns. The
people OF Anaconda well know that The

The result of the recent election in Cali.
fornia is thus given by the San Francisco
Examiner: IA great many speculative
theories are advanced by philosophic poll
ticians to account for the complete reversal
OF political opinion in this State, as indi-
Gated in the election OF 1884 and that of
last Tuesday. Two years ago the Republi-
cans carried the State by $4,000 majority.
This year the Democrats carried it by a
handsome plurality. They elect a Cover
nor, Lieutenant-Gove Secretary OF
State, Treasurer, Controller and Attorney
General. The Legislature will be Demo-
cratic by from ten TO fifteen on joint ballot,
and will elect United States Senator. The
city of San Francisco has elected Demo-
cratic city and county officers. Indeed,
the Democrats may reasonably claim to
have made a clean sweep, and all this has
been accomplished against an adverse ma
iority of 13, 900 two years ago.

Paddy Ryan will now prepare his funeral
robes. Since Sullivan beat him near New
Orleans several years ago. he has declared
that the ambition of his life was to master
the champion and that if he ever met him
and failed he would be ready to die. Ryan

cally than Sullivan and he bad friends who
shared in the belief. He and they are GER
tainly now undeceived. Paddy was badly
whipped and if he postpone his golden stair

he has apparently dreaded but which he

It cannot be Mr.. George really thinks the
" workingmen of New York or elsewhere have
a natural grievance against the "class of
men" who rallied around Mr.. Hewitt. The
Democratic candidate is one OF those
against whom labor has no grievance, but,
on the contrary, the most kindly relations
exist between them, growing out of mutual
esteem. Mr.. Hewitt has always been de-
servedly a favorite with wage-earners, and
Mr.. George should remember how earnestly
he battled for their rights in the Congress
sional labor inquiry. 1t occurs to all SEN
sible men that Mr., George should pocket
his defeat with compIacency and not fly off
in tangent after imaginary grievances.
