Idols and Temples. Mosques and Bathing
Ghats-Gods Of tho Heather.
At length I reach Benares, wheeling
down the luxuriant Ganges valley. OF
all the cities of the east, Benares is per-
haps the most interesting at the present
day to the European tourist. It's 1,400
shivalas, or idol temples, and $50 mosques;
its wonderful bathing CHATS, swarming
with pilgrims washing away their sins,
the burning bodies, the sacred Ganges,
the hideous idols at every corner of the
streets and its strange idolatrous popula-
ton, make up q scene that awakens one
to keen appreciation of its novelty. One
realizes fully that here the idolatry, the
Glowing down before images" that in our
Sunday school days used to seem so unut-
terably wicked and peryerse, so monstrous
and so far, far away, is q tangible fact
To keep up their outward appearance on
q par with the holiness Of their city, men
streak their faces and women mark the
the parting in their hair with red. Sacred
bulls are allowed to roam the streets at
will, and the chief business of large pro-
portion Of the population seems to be the
keeping Of religious obseryances and pay.
ing devotion to the multitudinous idols
ScaIGereQ 8OOuC Tue CITY.
Everywhere, in inches Of the walls,
under trees, on pedestals at frequent cor
ners are idols, hideously ugly; red idols,
idols with silver faces and stone bodies,
some with mouths from ear to ear, big
idols, little idols, the worst omnium gath
erum imaginable. Sati, nothing visible
but her curious face, beams over black
Mother Hubbard sort Of gown that con-
ceals whatever she may possess in the
way Of body; Jcgaddatri, the Mother Of
the World, with four arms, seated on O
lion; Brahma, with five eyes and four
mouths curiously mado to supply quad
ripple faces; Kamadeva, the handsome
little God of Love tho Hindoo Cupid,
whom the cruel silva oGce slew with a
beam from his third eye-au these and
mnltitudinous others greet the curious
sightseer whichever way one turns. Han
uman, too, is not forgotten, the great
Monkey King who aided Rama in his ex.
petition to Ceylon; outside the city proper
is the monkey temple, where thousands Of
the sacred anthropoids do congregate and
consider themselves at home.
Then there is the fakirs' temple, the
most beautifully carved shivala in Ben
ares; here priests distribute handfuls Of
soaked gram to all mendicants who pre-
sent themselves. The gram is supplied
by wealthy Hindoos, and both priests and
patrons consider it a great sin to allow q
religious mendicant to 60 away from the
temple empty handed.-Thomas Stevens

WINNIPEG, Man., Jan. 23.-A few de-
tails in connection with the investigation
which has been made by the new govern
ment into the financial condition of the
province have leaked out, and reveal an
alarming state of affairs. Up to Jan. 1,
when the Dominion subsidy was due,
the Norquay government had
already overdrawn its account
in the Merchants National bank
1916, 900, and there is not cent Of sub
sidy now left. The late ministers drew
all their own salaries and paid all the
civil servants up to Feb. J. Not single
entry has been in the treasury cash book
for over year and no
entry in the general account ledger since
last June. For three years the
Norquay government has been making
false statements of the financial condi-
ton of the province to the Legislature.
The floating debt of the province is over
half a million, and fresh Liabilities are
cropping up hourly.

What Can He Do?

The great test in life, says Gen. Thomas
J. Morgan in paper on Training as ali
Element of Education, +" is rather what a
man can do than what he knows. Can he
use his eyes? Has he good judgmenti Is
he a man of common sense? Can he
think? Does he reason correctly? Has he
power of adaptation? Can he organizer
Has he executive force? Is he practical?
These are the kind of test questions that
are put to the graduates Of our schools
Can the ''sweet girl graduate" cook din
ner, sweep a room or superintend house?
Does she have an intelligent interest in
passing events9 Has she robust health,
good habits, self reliance, energy and
power of endurance? Can the young man
lay aside his diploma and keep his fathers
accounts, write an article for the news
paper, make business trip to Chicago,
give an intelligent account of the morn
ing's newss Can he lend a hand at home,
and turn to some good account in the daily
duties of life some of the accumulated
stores of knowledge amassed in years of
study? Does his education render him
more Industrious, more skilful and eff
ficient, more ingenious, more persistent,
more practically masterful in whatever he
undertakes?
If he has been trained to use his senses,
to acquaint himself with natural phenom-
ena at first hand; il he has been taught
to think, to make careful comparison,
noting essential differences and significant
similarities, making patient inductions
and wise generalizations; il he has been

A Freak of Nature.

A singular freak of nature, originally
discovered In western Australia, is likely
to remain unexplained. It consists Of
nine fine pearls adhering together in the
form Of apLatin cross-seven in the shaft,
and one on each side of the second pearl.
A suggestion is that q fragment of sea-
aveed in the shell of the oUster formed the
frame on which the cross was built.

TIE MAN.

The Democratic conventions thus far
held have without exception not only en-
dorsed the administration and policy Of
President Cleveland, but have indicated
that their delegates shall vote for his re-
nomination. This is already a foregone
conclusion, as is his election, and in the
causes which are leading to this un-
sought honor. not the least important Is
the fact, that admiration for the man IL
not confined to his party followers. There
are many to-day who have heretofore
acted with the opposition who will vote
for Mr.. Cleveland. Honesty tells as well
in political as ii does in business life, and
rs the proof Of this Cleveland stands as a
splendid example. When he entered
upon his duties he did 80 with the ex-
pectatiOn that his service would be
limited to n term. With this as his
platform he was true to his party plat
form, and party friends and he
neither sought to evade the one nor
truckle to the other. He wal self-asseT-
tive and manly, hewed close to the line
and despising any methods that would
cause him the loss Of his self-respect he
did right as he saw the right, and now
comes his well deserved reward; the good
opinion and respect Of all men, and the
united determination Of the: united
Democracy that he shall again be the
standard-bearer and shall serve the
country as its highest officer during the
next four years.

THAT DEAF

After gathering itself for a leap, The
Inter Mountain yesterday imagined that
1t had landed full on the neck OF THE
MINER. The cause Of the jump wal a few
feeble remarks upon the conduct of the
Republican bosses" in Butte and certain
voters who claim to be Democrats, but
who are only Democrats Sub rosa" In
q political deal of such a character il is
hard to prove anything specifically, yet
the indications are that The MINER was
right In its allegation, and the howl of
our esteemed friends i'm journalism prove
that the shot was a center one. If poll
ticians are afraid Of being criticised, they
al remain out Of politics. That Mr..
Warren sought the craftsmanship Of the
committee Is beyond question; that he
made a deal is believed on all sides, and
that the clever hand of his clever partner
was made manifest In its consummation.
a blind politician can see. Now let them
net be ashamed OF the victory. Those
who said they were Democrats and who
voted with the combination are the peo-
pie who should be on the penitential
stool.

The Celestial Downed.

Aprize fight on a srnaIlscale took place last
night on the outskirts OF the city about 10
O'Clock. A young Chinaman and a white
boy, both about Is, were the combatanfs.
The Celestial had entertained a sneaking
idea he could lick the white kid" as a
gentleman graphically put it n~arrating the
Occurrences, and this coming to the ears of
q few Christians OF sporting proclivities
they determined to give the Chinaman an
Opportunity to show his staying qualities.
A purse for $3.50 a made up and the
match arranged which was fought with
naked hands to a finish. The white boy
won in a round AND a hall, closing up one
eye OF the Celestial. About twenty-five
men we're present and a prominent business
man was chosen timekeeper. A funny
thing connected with the affair is that the
first stakeholder selected ran off with the
stakes before the fight began and the spec
tators had to 60 down in their wallets for a
secoad contribution.

pal claim to distinction is, that he was
pastor Of the church in Washington at
tended by General Grant, has been elected
Bishop by The Methodist Conference
which has just closed its annual session

credit Of the Conference. Mr.. Newman

The statement of the afternoon paper
that the water question was an issue i'm
the municipal election is q fiction pure
and simple. Ii was not mentioned ON
the streets or at the polls, by candidates
o. by their supporters. The Inter Noun
tain on the day Of election did, in an ex-
ira, quote a few Of the previous attacks
Of the Health Officer upon the present
water company, but they surely had no
influence upon the result. I'm its anxiety
for pure water and In the disintcrested
support IT gives DR.. Hough at the expense
Of gentlemen who, I'm point Of honesty,

new works and furnish the fluid. The
protege Ia an incorporation of a water
company whose articles were filed before
the bug bear was discovered, but as yet
1t has not dug q foot OF trench or bought
an inch Of pipe. Since then anOthsT
company has obtained from the city a
franchise, and while it may be at work,
the results OF its labor are thus far not
apparent. The members Of the Butte
Water Company are all well known in
the community. II the water is bad, and
the fact can be demonstrated TO their
satisfaction, 1t is safe to say a change
will be made at once. As it is, all the
opposition comes from one source, and
from its malignity it can only be attri-
buted to personal motives. The plant OF
the company Is an expensive one, and it
Is not fair to ask that it shall be lost uH-
less there is proof positive that the al

A OUTPUT.

According to the report of Assayer
Braden, OF the Helena mint, the output
OF Montana Of gold and silver for the
year 1885 was between $23,OO0.OOO and
$24JOO0.OO0. To this a be added the
copper and lead which will swell the
total largely. IL must be further re-
marked that the output of both the pre-
cious and base metals will for the cur-
rent year be largely in excess Of that of
1887, and.it will surely place Montana in
the lead Of th5 Esslt6I producing States
and Territories u he EnitedStates.
