LII Chairman Jones of the National
Republican Committee is to be believed,
Mr.. Blaine is ready to stultify all his
letters by accepting the Chicago nomi-
nation If unanimously offered him. And
yet MIR. Blaine's last letter from Paris
contained this sentence: Assuming
that the Presidential nomination could
by any possible chance be offered to me,
1 could not accept it without leaving in
the minds Of thousands of these men the
impression that l had not been free from
~indirectioR, and therefore l could not
accept it at all" In the face of this tits
not readily apparent how MIR. Jones
could SO emphatically declare that Mr..
Blaine could accept a nomination. no
matter how unanimously rendered him
by the National Republican Convention.

BY installing Marvin Hughitt, a rail
road magnate, for Mayor Hewitt. of New
York, a Great Falls correspondent of the
Helena Independent caused the paper to
announce Mayor Hewitt's presence at the
Democratic rally in Helena on Wednes-
day evening. Considering that Mayor
Hewitt has been frequently interviewed
in New York since the St. Louis nomina-
tions. the Helena paper might have con
that there must be some mistake
without requiring Marvin Hughitt's
presence to explain it.

BY Illinois, since that might take away
Hoosier support from Harrison, Gresham
being an Indianan. The hostility Of Mr..
New goes to the length Of asserting that
Judge Gresham was a Know Nothing.
Jay Gould, it is stated, is making his
Western trip for the purpose of arresting
the Gresham boom in the West, and will
throw the weight Of his influence against
him. The Cincinnati Commercial, which
has special charge Of Sherman's inter-
ests, loses no opportunity to belittle
Gresham. The efforts to kill of Depew

elements at Chicago next week promises

political fights in the history of national
conventions in this country. The strug-

The Chairman of the Committee OF
Ways and Means Of the City Council rec
ommends In the report OF his committee
that the Council issue a call for an cleo
ton to decide whether bonds shall be is.
sned by the city for certain specified pur-
poses. These are, to build sewers, grade
streets. improve the city buildings and
enlarge the fire-extinguishing apparatus.
To do this, Nh. Dixon, the attorney con-
suited by the Ways and Means Commit
tee to procure q correct construction of
the powers Of the city as to bonding it
sell, says that the bonds issued by the
city cannot exceed 2 per cent. of the
total assessed valuation of the city, and
that to pay the interest on these bonds
and provide a sinking fund for their re-
demption, a tax of only three-fourths Of
/ per cent. of the same valuation can De
levied. According to the same author
ity, the assessed valuation would be con
fined to that shown in the last city as
sessment, which was of property in the
old city limits, and that the property
which was added to the city by the en-
largement of the city boundaries could
not be bonded at present. The amount
of funds that can be raised by bonding
as suggested by the Committee on Ways
and Means is, therefore, very small. in
adequate to more than make a beginning
on the work Of sewer building alone. At
the same time the other works of i'm
,proyement suggested by the esmmittee
are important and deserve the ear
LEST possible attention. The street
railway, in putting down its
permanent way on Park street,
shows the difference that exists between
the present street level and the estab-
lished grade. OF course, the rest of the
street there will have to be brought
down to grade, but if this work were to
be done all over the city or even on the
principal thoroughfares it would involve
the expenditure of a large sum of money
in cuts and fills. The improvements and
additions to the City Hall spoken of by
the Committee are absolutely necessary.
The reorganization of the Fire Depart
ment is conceded and urged by its mem
bers, and the provision of dormitories
Tor fremen and establishment of hose
houses at convenient points ought to be

These are only the barest needs

improvements might be undertaken and

orms by the method now open. In view

A BENEFTCTAL INSTITUTION.

The benefits set forth in the speeches
made at the Miners Union Hall on
Wednesday afternoon ms accruing to tht
miners Of this camp from tho esta h.
ment of the Miners Union are a good
and sufficient reason why that organiza.
tion should receive the hearty indorse-
ment Of every mi living here even il
not connected with it. Butte is
a peculiar city. 1t differs from any
other that is not like itself
essentially and solely a mining
town. It's business men depend almost
entirely upon the trade created by the
presence Of the large number Of miners
at work i'm the mines in and around
Butte. The product Of these mines that
is not expended in wages and supplies
goes mostly to owners who reside away
from Butte. tt is the wages of the camp.
its enormous pay roll, that sustains the
merchants of Butte, and the Union MAIN
tanning the wages at the present figure
has given that much more to the stores
OF the city. By regulating the hours of
work, the men have sufficient leisure
time to spend their means in amuse-
ments after their kind, and the large
force of men at work here is maintained.
1t is therefore only natural that the
agency in accomplishing so much be-
nevolent work should be respected and
sustained by every n whether in or out
of it who lives in Butte. Every miner
who is eligible to join it should belong
to it. 1t makes a provision for him
against sickness, and in case of his death
provides a fund for insurance that has
been Of signal benefit to widows and
orphans suddenly bereft Of their support.
The most ignorant man in regard to
mining who ever came to this camp
could not live here during the last couple
of months and not be impressed by the
dangers that environ that calling. There
is no other occupation followed by men
that 30 well justifes its members in
forming themselves into a mutual bene-
fit association, such as is a prominent
feature of this Union. It is singular,
that there can be found a man
pursuing the vocation of a miner here
who. with these advantages derived from
belonging to the union, is still outside
Of it.
It is only fit and proper that the ami
of such a benefcent organiza-
ion should be celebrated every recurring
rear with all the impressiveness that
public observance can confer. 1t is only
that the mines should generally
hut down as they did on Wednesday and
hat the men should turn out and parade
n honor of the union to their hearts
content. 1t is only proper that at their
Meeting the benefits the union has con-
erred on the city and on its members
Ihould be set forth and glorifed by all
he eloquence of their speakers, as was
W IL set forth on Wednesday after
loon.

THE DISS DE BARE CASE.
Evidence of Spiritualists introduced
Expert Testimony Knocked Out.

Expert Testimony Knocked Out.
New YORK, June 14.-In the Diss de Barr
trial to-day several believers in Spiritual
ism testified to the wonderful mediumistic
powers OF the madame, among them being
ex-Judge Nelson Cross, formerly of the
Court OF Common Pleas OF Cincinnati. The
witness in addition to seeing pictures come
and receiving spirits writing had been
present at a seance given by the defendant
when she caused a shower O natural
flowers in the room. An expert in hand
writing testified the alleged communications
from st. Peter and Benjamin Franklin we're
written by one hand and that hand
which had written the madane's per-
letters. On being shown some
notes he declared they were identical with
the other, but Titus Merritt took the stand
and testified that he, fthe witness) not
madame. had written them. This ended
the testimony. Arguments will, be heard
Tomorrow.
