THE BLAINE INTERVIEW.

The axiom that the milder temperatures
beget Incidence, and ennervate even the
tensest system is we'll exempli6ed in the
case of Mr.. Blaine. When he breathed the
U. S. climate north of the cotton states he
was forever cup and coming" no labor too
great, no demand upon it unanswered. But

dreamy skies and inhaling the soft airs on

graduates himself that he Is now out of the
canvass and will not feel bound tc work as
hard As formerly. 1t is . great help to the
world that part of it lies in zones whore the

Blaine has, however, enough yet in stock to

done it in time, too, tha! his visit to Rome,
which must soon ensue, will not b. misin-
terpreted by Frank Pixley Is a bid for the
Catholic vote. Mr.. Blaine has made an
other point clear also-that he did not
retire in favor of any one particular mar.
# he could, in the supreme moment Of his
life, have said to his fellow countrymen that
should Roscoe Conkling be nominated it
would afford him pleasure, and he would
support him with oil his heart, the Republic

assembled itself again into an irresistible

been brighter. That another may win we
do not doubt; that he should be elected
be the grandest of victories.

IT MIGHT WORK BOTH WAYS.

If the railroad corporations were profess
sional humanitarians We might understand
why they only charge eastern people $50 to
come out from St. Paul to Montana, escape
the cyclones and conventions, enjoy life 80
days, and return, while they charge Mon
tanians nearly twice that amount At regular
rates to 60 to St. Paul and return. But, as
they are not incorporated for humanitarian
purposes especially, the rate may be based
on the fact that eastern people hold on to .
dollar twice as tight as westerners; or, it
may be the object of the Northern Pacific
and Manitoba, who have always pulled for
St. Paul, to compel Montaniaus to 60 to
that town to purchase tickets. If something
like this is not at the bottom Of the discrim-
ination against the west, why cant we have
. nice round trip rate from Montana east
and return? It would encourage q good
many then Maynard youths who left the old
homestead perhaps . quarter of . century
or more ago, drifted into the West and have
coursed up and down the Pacific Coast from

wives and children on their first visit east Of
the Mississippi to meet "his people," Beside,
it would accustom people to travelling, estab-
lish the interchange Of visits and contribute
to the business of the road. Might there not
be something in this, Gentlemen Railway
Passenger Agents, As we'll As in giving eastern
people an opportunity to visit the West,
secure farms or business and locate upon
your lines? Please give this, rs we'll as the

AYEAR or so ago there were ZONE in.
quiries Is to the origin of the name Of the
Territory Of Montana. The New NORTH.
WEST made some research and held, from
the proceedings Of the House committee on
Territories and the proceedings in House
and Senate a. published In the Globe, also
by contemporary authority, that Hon. James
NJ. Ashley, Of Ohio, suggested the Spanish
name Montana, Spanish pronunciation
Montanya) on account Of its mountainous
character, which the word signided, and
that he successfully defended bis christening
against the proposed names Of Shoshone,
jefferson and Douglas. Col. P. R. Dolman,
of Butte, being interested in the matter,
recently sent the New NORTHWEST article
to Hon. ]. W. McCleery, of Lebanon, Mo-,
who was one of the House committee at the
time, asking As to its correctness, and he
replied: "The slip enclosed to me by you,
taken from . Montana paper, gives Is good
and correct q statement a. to how Montana
got its name as can, I think, be found"
The Miner of Feb. Goth c%ourteously pub
fishes and credits the matter. Il might be
added that Hon. James N. C%avanaugh, who
held the Delegateship Of Montana from 1867
nearly a. long - Maginnis, and who was
familiar with the derivation of the name,
always pronounced the word Mon-tan'-ya.

.Music's Patron Saint.

New YORK, Feb. 24.-[Special to the Salt
Lake Tribune-Copyright, 1883, by the Cali.
fornia Associated Press.]-It is said that the
man who offered, through Commodore Gerry
to give $4,000 for the education OF Josef
Hoffman, the boy pianist, if he were With
drawn from the stage, is Henry l.. Higgin-
son, the Boston banker. Higginson has
spent enormous sums of money in promot-
ing music in Boston. He maintains the
Boston Symph my Orchestra at a personal
expense over the receipts of nearly $4,000 a
year. He organized the orchestra about
eight years ago, to give q series of symphony
concerts at popular prices. He engaged a
European leader at $4,000 a year, and a
band of eighty musicians. Saturday con-
certs are given twenty-six weeks in the
year. To insure the success of the enter
prise in q musical sense, Higginson, at the
outset, in order to create q permanent home
for music, bought the Music Hall property
at nearly half q million dollars, aud made
all the uses of the ball subordinate to the
series of the symphony concerts.

ANOTHER JUDGE.

President Cleveland on Monday sent to
the Senate the name Of Moses J. Liddell, Of
Louisiana, to be Associate Justice OF the
Supreme Court of Montana. The President
did not even wait for the Montana Demo-
cracy to present Z name, but - soon as be
returned from the Florida junketiDg trip
McLeary's resignation was called up, If 1t
had been received before, and . friend whom
he had perhaps made or met on the trip was
appointed to the place. Cleveland is needing
we'll (?) the instructions Of bis party about
carpet bag appointments. II Montanians
could cast . vote for President no appoint
ments would be made from outside the
Territory. How very disgraceful it is to
stultify himself by disregarding the platform
which he accepted and OF which he was
elected, simply because he is secure from
retaliation! Judge Liddell may be 8 good
man and = good lawyer. We hope be is.
But the place for him to hold . Judgeship is
in Louisiana, where he is = citizen, and not
in Montana, where he Is not. The quick
appointment has n redeeming quality.
The new Judge may get here and the assign
ment be made so that the spring terms of
Court will be held As billed. Judge
DeWolfe will probably come to the Second
District.

FROM notices in the Helena papers we see
that ex.Judge Hez. Z. Hosmer is . convert
to the theory that Bacon wrote the Shakes.
peare plays, and has published = work en-.
titled, "Bacon and Shakespeare In the
Sonnets." The Herald, in commenting on
it, adheres to Shakespeare and raises the
point that 1t is inconceivable that u striv-
ing rs hard IS Bacon did for fame in bis
his works on philosophy, law and history,
should have concealed his authorship of the
grand plays attributed to Shakespeare, If be
really wrote them. The answer to this is,
that popular and acceptable play-writing In
that day was not in goo1 form, and de-
manded q coarseness of expression which
Bacon might not have wished to father, and
much of which has now to be eliminated
from the stage version. We believe, before
the century ends, the authorship Of the
Shakesperian plays and sonnets will be
conceded to Bacon. Shakespeare had not
the mind, culture and travel to be the father
Of his alleged literary children.

Love. Law and Lunacy

WATERBURY,, Conn.,, Feb. 24.-Dr. Ralph
A. Blood, of this city, has become a raving
maniac. DR.. Blood a few days ago sued the
New York & New England road for $1,000
in consequence of one Of the fingers of his
hand having been crushed in the door of a
car. The doctor was standing on the plat
form of the smoking car at the time of the
injury, and was quite busily engaged in kis~
sing his hand to a young lady employed in
one of the Waterbury factories. The hand
not eng aged in the osculatory process was
carelessly placed on the door jamb, and
when the brakeman slammed the door a
part of the doctors finger was crushed badly.
The jury disagreed in the case: and the
doctor has since become insane. He thinks
the churches have consplred to destroy him,
and that the New England road has detec-
tives on his track to watch his every move.
A night or two ago he went into a store and
thrust q lot of valuable papars, documents
and letters into q stove. His friends will
take care of him.

The Seed Oil Trust.

New YORK, Feb. 24.-The Senate inves-
tigating committee took up the cotton seed
oil trust to-day. This trust made no effort
to conceal its real status. John Scott, one
of the Trustees, testified : "There are 10 or
80 companies in the trust. Last years crop
was 100000 tons, Of which the company con.
trolled $4,000 tons. The capital stock Of
the trust is fixed At s41, 100000. Nominally
. dividend Of 4 per cent. has been declared.
As the stock sold for IS per ceat., the divi-
dend was actually about II per cent. The
combined stock Of the companies entering
the combine was less than half the stock of
the trust. Since the formation of the trust
in 1856 the price of cotton seed has rIsen."
The witness was asked why Armour & Co.,
of Chicago, did not execute their threat to
form an opposition trust. He said there Was
An agreement between Armour d Go. and
the trust which stipulated the price at which
the former could purchase cotton seed oil.

THE Canadian Fisheries treaty does not
seem to meet with favor either in the United
States or Canada, If we may take impression
from the newspaper comments that have
come to hand. The Pioneer Press says:
1.-THE treaty is an abject surrender of our
constitution that the commercial usages Of
civilized nations carry with them conditions
Of international comfy that have superseded
the a~ntiquated and barbarous' convention of
181S."
1t seems reasonably clear, even At this
early day, that the proposed treaty will not
be ratified by the United States Senate. The
Chicago Times says: eve retract by this
treaty al we have said against the Canadian
construction Of the treaty of 1875" In the
Canadian Senate last Friday Senator Scott
said the friction between the two countries
had been intensified by the incongruous
document concocted at Warrington. His
principal objection seemed to be that .
"British plenipotentiary" had been sent over
to adjust the matter, holding 1t was q matter
for Canada and the United States to attend

BLAlNE,S WITHDRAWAL.
So Plain That He Who Runs May Read.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25. - To-morrow's
World will contain . three column interview
with Blaine cabled from Florence. Blaine
distinctly asserted that under no cEScum-
stances whatever would he allow his name
to be used in connection with the next Pres
cerity of his withdra xal and asserts he had
made up his mind thereto long ago. He
considers first That any man whose name has
been associated with defeat in . Presidential
campaign owes it to his party not to allow
himself to be re- nominated, and secondly,
he is unequal to facing the fatigue, worry
and excitement of another canvass, all the
more as he would feel himself bound to
work as hard as on the previous occasion.
Mrs. Blaine and other members of the fam
lily are most emphatic in their approval of
his withdrawal, which is definite, and
neither hasty nor recent in Its decision.
Blaine will not return from Europe until
June and until after the Republican conven-
ton. He declines to express himself or the
subject Of Republican candidates in the
field, but asserts he did not retire in favor of
any particular one of them. He is convinced
Of a Republican victory, basing his convic-
ton In particular on the tariff question. Mr..
Blaine said in conclusions: "You have no
idea what q relief it is to me to think I am
now out of the canvass, and that when I
come to New York in the summer I shall
not come back to enter into the turmoil and
excitement of a political canvass. I can
now come back quietly after the convention
has decided the result and enjoy my life in
my own way, free, I hope, from further
criticism or comment.
