A PLAIN PROPOSITION.

Are we to infer that the excellent gentle.
man who heads the Democratic ticket does
not desire to be elected ?-Inter Mountain.
You may infer that If it shall SO suit
you, but we could not conscientiously
advise you to do SO. He did not seek the
nomination, as did his opponent. He ae-
cepted the trust at the earnest solictta-
ton OF citizens, and having accepted ID,
OF course, he does not desire to be de-
feated. And his friends will see to it
that he shall not be defeated. He did not
ask the convention to nominate him and
did not have any set speech prepared to
respond to the call. There was no prear-
rangement about his nomination. No
man can afford to accept the office of
Mayor on the salary attaching to the
same, except from considerations of party
spirit and local patriotism. Uner these
conditions, we would like to inquire why
our esteemed contemporaries candidate
sought the Office before the convention !?
Now, that he is nominated, Of course, he
is expected to be elected if he can be. He
voluntarily relinquished a $500 office
for n Of $3.50 per year. Will our es-
teemed contemporary let up a little on
its ratification of Wash McCormack's res
olutions and explain this proposition ?
This is a sordid world at best, and we
n
would like a worldly view of the relin-
punishment of a $500 for a $3.50 salary.
We wont press the proposition too hard,
but just hard enough to get a reply be-
fore election day that the electors of
Butte reincorporated may act advisedly.

1t grieves us to note the fact that our
esteemed contemporary, the Helena Dead
Stock Journal, is taking such a dismal
view Of the boom at the capital. 1t is about
time it had recovered from the shock it
experienced when the winter of a year
ago made it SO easy for the managers Of
bonded cattle companies to explain short
ages in their herds to Eastern share hold
ers. We hardly expect the share holders
to recover SO soon. We think that Hell
ena's boom is healthy. not to say robust.
The property owners there are abund-
antly able to hold on and maintain
values. The city has a splendid trade, a
magnificent country tributary to it, and
with the reduction works to be built this
season, will develop a very healthy pay
roll. In the meantime, the capitalists of
Helena will hold up the market. We, of
Butte, some times think that the Terrific
torial capital wants more of the earth
than 1t is entitled to, but it is its privi-
lege to get away with the whole terres-
trial sphere If it can. They set Butte a
good example of public spirit which we
would have u citizens emulate, espe-
cially in the matter Of a hotel.

coats and brass buttons. The enb,rtain-
ment wal largely attended and the fill par

A letter from w. J. Matthews, atPbilips-
burg. to Edgar Fish, says that his mother
in-laW, Mrs. VIM. Hammond, is still alive
with d fair chance OF recovery, but that
they are running a general hospital, his son
Willie having the measles and Mrs. John II.
Cole and Robert and Clara Mcdonald, all
grandchildren OF Mrs. Hammond, are also
sick with measles.
Mr.. Frank Prues, our popular tailor,
expects to leave to-day for San Francisco
to have his feet treated at one of the hos
pitfalls. They were frozen five years ego
at Helena. He hopes to have them cured
by some specialist, but ii this cannot be
done he will undergo amputation. We
hope, however, that that this will not be
necessary and Mr.. Prues will come back to
US entirely cured.
Judge Fitzpatrick sent the following
named gentlemen up for vagrancy and
drunkenness: John Morgan, fifteen days;
Dan O'Brien, thirty days for vagrancy and
sleeping in the Foster. Estes Mercantile
Company's hay yard. and James Mclean,
an old offender, for drunkenness and lying
about the streets, and alley ways, fifteen
days. They were all sent to Deer Lodge.
The ditch from it's source to the reser-
voIr OF the Water Company could be COM
pleted by tonight, but owing to The soft
condition OF the ground, causing it to slide
into the trench in several places, and the
delay In the arrival OF the iron pipe for
conducting the water to the reservoir, it is
best to stop digging for a day or
two. MIR. Toole, the superintendent, should
feel proud OF the rapid manner in which he
is pushing the work.
r. Miles was arrested and brought before
j Judge Fitzgerald on a charge of willfully
maliciously disturbing the peace and
quiet OF his household and destruction of
by his wife. When the time ar
rived for the trial the prosecuting witness |
failed to put in an appearance and he was |
discharged. From what can be learned |
Miles is not one OF those men whose life al |
is all sunshine, and has pretty good |
cause to raise Cain at times when patience !
ceasee to be a virtue.

First Ward Candidates.

Both OF the parties in the First were IN
fortunate in selecting aldermanic candi-
dates at the recent conventions, as each of
them has been compelled to withdraw the
name OF a nominee and substitute another
IN his stead. Both of the gentlemen who
have been retired are well known citizens
and either if elected, would have graced
the position. However, the law in the
matter is plain, and there was no alter
native, it had to be obeyed. Mention was
made several days ago that Milo French
one OF the Republican candidates, was
ineligible, because he had not lived the re-
CURED time IN the Ward. The city com.
mlttee thereupon substituted the name of
A. +. Bray, the well known grocer.
Now comes the discovery that Thomas
Courtney one OF the Democratic nominees,
make the run for exactly the same
reason. This is a matter of regret, for Mr..
Courtney would have been elected and
would have made an excellent representa-
tive. The convention have not as vet
filled the vacancy.

A NOVEL NEWSPAPER DEAL.

John Stetson, the theatrical manager.
has purchased the controlling interest in
the Boston Herald. Inasmuch as Johu
can hardly read the paper, this announce
ment seems amusing to both professions.
But as he is to give his personal super
vision to the sporting department, we
may expect John Slugger Sullivan to
have an organ equal in influence to Kill
rains organ, the Police Gazette. But
what will the Puritanical constituency
OF the paper say when they read the
sporting columns? Messrs. Pulsifer,
Haskell and Andrews have published the
Herald for a quarter of a century and
built up n of the best paying newspa-
per properties in this country. Since
Taylor has been managing the Globe,
however, they have felt the influence of
the first real rival in their field, a fact
which must have rad something to do
with their retirement from the journal
istic arena. Besides, Mr.. Haskell has
been backing his son on the Minneapolis !
Tribune for the last three years, and that
may account for his withdrawal from
the Herald. This triumvirate have made !
a great deal of money with the Herald. |
They W orange plantations and a rail-
road in Florida, and, in fact. own a jerk
water railroad, which enables them to
have their private car hauled about the
country as a mere matter of courtesy,
and without further consideration. Now,
we may expect John Stetson to have a
private car fitted up with a bridal cham
Der, as he has been married to a very
pretty stage girl but a short time.

OLD Saddle Bags Mcdonald, of Indi-
ana, is SO malignant in his resentment
against Governor Gray that he has Sc
cured the consent Of Judge DENLY, Min
lister to China, to contest the honors
Of the Vice Presidency with the Execu-
tive Of the Hoosier State. This may af-
ford Old Saddle Bags some satisfaction,
but it will be hard lines for DENLY. He
may be misled to give up a sure thing
for an uncertainty, or rather the GER
tainty Of coming out at the close of the
contest with a dilapidated law practice
on his hands. Mcdonald is pursuing his
vindictive course too far to accomplish
any desirable end. But the division in
the Democratic party in Indiana is
nothing in comparison with the conten-
ton between the Republican factions
over Harrison and Gresham. While the
machine has been manipulated in the
interest of the former, the latter really
commands the support of the masses Of
the people. Neither party has any ap-
preciable advantage in the matter of fac
tious contention on the part of the other
In Indiana.

a Pleasant Surprise Party.

While Agent McCaig, OF the Northern
Pacific, was sitting musing in his office YES
terday afternoon as to what Union Pacific
Agent Baldwin would do to get even on his
(McCaig's) getting in the first announcement
OF reduced rates, Il very symmetrical young
blonde gentleman, of most insinuating adj.
dress, walked in and was making a mental
Inventory OF the office when Mr.. McCaig
looked up in an abstract sort of way and
proceeded to give him tourists rates to the
National Park, the d 'Alenes and other
popular resorts. Inquiry as to whence the
stranger had come brought forth creden.
tlals OF the fact that the visitor was none
other than Ralston McCaig, a brother of
the General Agent himself, whom he had not
seen Tor fourteen years, fresh from bonnie
Scotland. Neither knew the other. To saw
that James and Ralston were. glad to see
other would be a mild statement of
the emotions each experienced. They pro-
ceeded to enjoy the Inequalities of Manager
Mcguire at a box in the theater last even
ing, in company with Willard Bennett, the
contractor, Frank Challenor. of
Helena, and q MINER man. Mr.. Ralston
M"Caig will probably locate permanentlyin
Butte, where his brother will look after his
material interests.

a Short Ont.

For years there has been a complaint on
the part OF the residents Of Big Hole Basif
and the people Of Butte. on account 81
trouble experienced by tho formeri reach
ing this city. Under the old regime it was
necessary to make two crossings oil the
river at Twin Crossing and Mtrphy's. and
when, as it often happened. the
stream was no Portable, the parties were
compelled to do their trading at Dillon. To
obviate this and give the Butte merchants
that trade, Bennett Bros. took up a sub
scription and are having a new road con-
structed which will do away with the cross
ings named. Work is now in progress and
is expected that the road will be COM
pleted by July1.

L. HE ANSWER,
The Montana Improvement Company
Preparing for War.

Tuesday was the last day OF grace allowed
by law to the Montana Improvement Co.
in which to file it's answer 20 the suit OF
the government against it for an alleged
violation OF the timber laws in cutting
timber from the public lands. About 9
O'Clock that evening Clerk Corbett, of the
court. was summoned by telegraph to
the depot and the answer was there placed
in his and by the counsel The document
is a formidable one, comprising as it does
eighteen sheets OF type writer, and discusses
the law OF the case from all standpoints. It
is too voluminous to publish, but the ma
terial points will be made known when the
cause is tried, as it is probable the legal de-
tense OF the company is set forth in it. The
cases are set for June II and from the array
OF talent on both sides the trials will be
among the most memorable, as they will be
amongths most important in their results,
ever held in the Territory. The decision will
go far beyond the defendants and settle cues
tions OF the g~ravest import to all the min
Dg camps OF Montana.

Powder Explosion.

Sunday afternoon about 4 O'Clock the re-
port OF an explosion of more than usual
force was heard in Butte, yet but little at
tention was paid to it, the majority of the
people thinking that it was only a blast.
1t now transpires that the explosion oc-
Cured at the deserted giant powder works
about four miles west OF the city, near Orr's
ranch. No work has been done at the
place for a long time, in fact the building
had been demolished and the theory is that
a lot OF material must have been left there
and that the explosion was caused by spon-
taneous combustion. A couple of persons
passed the spot a short time previous but
were at sufficient distance to escape injury,
although they felt the shock. The only
damage lone was the opening of a cave OF
good sized dimensions in the ground.

A Hard Road to Travel.

Parties who have occasion to do any
teaming on the Burlington road complain
that there are places which have been very
dangerous Tor some weeks and are now I'M
passable. Especial complaint is made OF
the Bernard water ditch and Kings brick
yard. The ditch could not be crossed at all
yesterday, and it Is necessary to make a
detour around the brick yard referred to-,
and that, too, over a road so rough that it
is almost impossible to traverse with a
team. We hope that the County Commits
sioners will give the matter their Immediate
attention, as it is of the utmostimportance
to a good many people.

A Bronco Rnster-

George Benoit, a well known bronco
buster" OF Missoula, was in the city YES
terday and gave an exhibition of his skill
and daring to those who were fortunate
enough to see him. 1t was not fancy
riding by any means, but it was a contract
to break a couple fractions animals and
Tor q while it seemed doubtful whether the
necks OF the horses, the neck of the rider or
the necks OF both would be broken. The
spot selected was near the Parrot smelter,
and there was rearing n pitching and
throwing and getting up, but in the end
benolt was master of the situation and
the horses were glad to acknowledge it and
get q rest.
