AS IT MIGHT BE,

We cannot help believing that thu
Republican Convention at Chicago has
designs IN Blaine.
Of course the Plumed Knight could
not accept a nomination now, g
though unanimously rendered him; but
the leaders who want Depew might be
able to infect the convention with a
belief that, if nominated, Blaine would
accept, and by this means secure his
nomination. Blaine would probably re-
fuse, and then the National Committee
could carry out the scheme and nomi-
nate Depew.
This would leave the Blaine-Depew
element masters of the situation. the
hope being that Depew would be elected
and make Blaine the Secretary Of State.
Fortunately for the country the peo-
pie are not likely to make it possible to
carry out this scheme-if such a one
there be.

ARE the Montana seasons changing
1t is thought SO by those who have lived
here the longest. The thunder shower Of
Monday night and the long and delight.
full rains Of yesterday, coupled with the
act OF there being more rains this sea.
son than usual, and the further fact that
rains in May and June have ceased to be
the rarity they once were, force THE
MINER to reiterate the question it hears
old settlers here ask, as to whether it is
not a fact that rains are really becoming
more frequent than formerly. 1t is true
THAT now and then a season returns to
Its old-time~ dreariness and dryness, but
in spite Of this fact, there is evidence
that there is a change, however slight,
for the better.

THE M1RIONETTES.
Their Appearance at Turner Hall Promises
a Observation-Disclosures

Their Appearance at Turner Hall Promises
a SuccessfuF~Exhibition.
Last evening was the night set for the first
appearance OF the harionettes at the Tur.
ner Hall. About eight hundred seats had
been set in the theater, and the seating ca
pacity of the hall is about a couple of hun.
dred more. The wet weather interfered with
the attendance, butit was better than might
have been anticipated, and those who at
tended were in raptures with the euteness
OF the exhibition, which ia one of the
cleanest, most comicaland ingenious shows
that ever visited town. A good many who
went last night were agreeably dis
appointed by the superiority of the
exhibition. 1t is one especially fitted
to take ladies and children to. There
is nothing in it to offend the most fastid-
lous taste and many who we're present last
night alone anticipating something broad,
resolved togo again to-nightan bring their
wives and children. 1t must be seen to be
appreciated and no one who goes once
but will wish to see it a second and a third
time. There will be a matinee to-day at 2
O'Clock TO, the accommodation of ladies
and children and it is safe to say the thea
ter OF Turner Hall will hold the most de-
lighted audience of young folks it has seen
for many a day.

The committees having in charge the
arrangements for the coming Fourth Of
July celebration are meeting with liberal
responses from the people of Butte, and
1t now re mains for the finance committee
to stir around and make the necessary
collections. There is needed from $1,000
$500 to make the celebration the sue
cess it is hoped it will be. Fireworks
are to be purchased-for what would a
Fourth of July celebration be without
the evening pyrotechnics ? The small
boy would feel that he had been shame
fully sighted; and the small boy is a
factor in Fourth of July celebrations
that cannot be ignored. Time is fiying,
and but few days remain in which to
perfect arrangements, and the commit
tees have not a moment to spare.

AS we understand it, the bandanna OF
red bandanna, as it is popularity called,
is the favorite handkerchief of Thur.

. habit of frequently pulling out his red

returning it to his coat tail pocket. This
habit became so marked that Thurman

In order to accommodate the rush Of
visitors to Butte during the festivities
attending the coming celebration of the
national anniversary and the arrival Of
the new railroad at this point, it is sug-
gested that every person having rooms
to spare, place extra beds and cots
therein. Butte ought to do all in its
power to royalty entertain its guests at
all times, and especially on this occa-
sion.
