is at present in Tacoma experimenting the
putting in of that system of cable street
railway there. He will be here shortly to
make estimates and take measurements OF
the needs of the street railroad which the
company intend placing in Buttefrom Park
and Main to Walkerville. At it's last meet
ing the company came to the resolution
that the present population and future
prospects OF the greatest cope camp on
earth warranted them in going to the
enormous expense which a cable road en-
tails. Every system of street railroad has
been narrowly investigated and the conclu-
sion reached is that the cable system is the
only kind that can be placed on the steep
grade between here and Walkerville. The
traffic at present between Butte and
Walkerville is great and with a cable road
in operation will be greatly enlarged, as the
greater comfort and convenience of
the street cars over open or closed
c~onveyances creates of itself larger traffic.
At the same time this is one OF the many
enterprises now on foot that may be
pointed to as evidence that the solid pres-
perity OF Butte is beyond a peradyenture.

the statement that faith is the evidence Of

4NACONDA ANNOTATIONS.

Both justice courts have been quite busy
for the past week issuing attachments
against different persons for old bills, either
forgotten or having no intention Of paying.
This mode OF procedure will have the effect
of Weakening such persons up.
Judge Fitzgerald sent VIM. Hoyt up for
thirty days. He will have to serve his
costs and fine, each $40, for stealing five
gallons OF coal oil from the Delmonico res
taurant. Frank Fisher, fifteen days and
costs for vagrancy. r. Arundel was also
up before his honor for disturbing the
peace whilst drunk, but as this was his
first effense and being a steady worker and
a peaceable man when sober, the Judge dis
charged him with areprimand and a prom.
Use from Arundel to behave himself here.
after.
From Coroner Hardenbrook, who re-
turned yesterday morning from the scene
OF the fatal accident at the Pyrenees mine,
it is learned that the man who was work
ing with Jennings testified to substantially
the same story as given yesterday. The
doctor further stated hat the man had
evidently carried powder, caps, fuse and
his candle all in the left hand and held
them close against his stomach. The the
ory is that his rapid movement caused the
flame OF the candle to strike against the
cap, exploding it and the powder. The
Pyrenees Mining Company was exonerated
from all blame. 1t is said Jennings had
friends and acquaintance in Butte.
In Judge Fitzgerald's Court Charles Asp.
ing swore. out a warrant against J.. q.
Banks for obtaiaing goods on false pre-
lenses. When brought into court the Judge
read the complaint to the prisoner and
asked whether he was guilty or not. He
replied guilty. He was then sentenced to
forty-ive days at Deer Lodge. This did not
.disconcert him in the least. He quietly asked
the Judge what amount of bail would free
when the answer fairly paralyzed him:
No amount OF money will free you from
your sentence" He wanted to 90 out for
a drink, but the constable left in charge of
the prisoner would not allow it, at which
he grew furious, and Frank Fox will have a
humping to look forward to for the next
forty-five days.

MHY Nnr2

In the plentitude Of its power the City
Council of Butte decreed that certain
sidewalks should be laid in certain
streets Of the city. As a general pr0po-
sition the Council Wasright yet the gen.
tlemen composing the body forgot that
individuals have rights as well as cor
porations, and while they have insisted
that property owners should conform to
the grades, they have failed to meet the
requirements. The result is that in GER
tain sections the street commissioners
have established sidewalks on what is
known as grades, and, as a result, resi-
dences are from three to six feet above
the established grade. Sidewalks are
good enough in their way. but when the
Council insists that they shall be laid at
an altitude that prohibits householders
from reaching their premises, or even
getting water, it is time to call q halt.
Reciprocity is rather a fair rule and it
must obtain in this country.

TARIFF AND Es

One Of the best posted men in the
United States on the subject Of tariff is
Col. Dorsheimer, editor of the New York
Star. He has made a study Of the sub
ject, and in a recent issue he summar-
ises the matter as follows: 1.-THE high
tariff advocates never tire of their favor
lite argument, protection gives the
American workingmen higher wages"
Now is this so? The protectionist usu-
ally answers by comparing the wages in
the United States. He forgets to take
into consideration the fact that the en-
vironments Of the laborer in America
are altogether different from England.
In che former place new opportunities
are daily opening for the employment Of
labor, and il the workman can not get a
fair compensation for his time from the
manufacturer. the public domain is open
to him where a homestead can be
had for the tariff. The fact that tariff
cuts little or no figure in determining the
price OF labor Is evident from the fact

EVERYTHING goes to show that the In
diana delegation will be solid in the Re-
publican National Convention from the
first for Harrison until it is evident that
he cannot receive the nomination when
the order will be given to go for Gresh-
am. The Indiana delegation if they
cannot get the first prize will be willing
to take second, SO we will not be sur
prised if the next Republican ticket for
President and Vice-President will read
like this: For President, James G..
Blaine, of Maine; for Vice-PreSident, GEN
eral Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana. All
the district conventions held so far in
Indiana have spoken in no uncertain
sound for Harrison, while Gresham haI
SO far only received one delegate in the
Eleventh District, A. C. Bears. 1t is evil
dent that the Gresham boom has col
lapsed the same as Sherman's boomlet.

Sons of vererans' Ball.

The gallant young Sons of Veterans have
every reason to feel proud of the success
which attended their first annual ball at
Renshaw Halt last night. The sons OF sol
diers were there IN full force. and from the
creditable manner in which they conducted
themselves and the dance, they may be re-
lied on to help their country in any emer-
gency for which they may be needed.
At an early hour, notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather. the hall was
well filled with at least $50 couples OF
Butte's representative people, many old
veterans taking part in the festivities. 1t
was a noticeable feature that the Washing
ton Guards were present in almost full
force. Burt's orchestra furnished the mu-
sic, which was unusually inspiring. During
the small hours OF morning the dance ter
minated, and all who participated will
look forward with pleasure to a repetition
OF last nights vent. The credit for the
success of the ball is in a large measure due
to the gentlemen on the various commit
tees.

The Theatre.

MY Geraldine" was repeated last evening
to what would no doubt have been another
crowded house but for the untimeIy rain
storm that started in and came down at
its worst about the time the theatre doors
were opened. There is nothing to mention
more than what has already been said in
praise of the company and the play. The
play is by all odds the best OF its kind, and
the company are far superior, as a whole,
to several combination now travelling. The
last performance OF my Geraldine" will be
given this evening. Tomorrow night the
great military spectacular play, 1.-THE Pay
master" will be given with q superb stage
setting and, OF course, a good cast. Miss
Annie Adams, who is a favorite in Butte
will make her first appearance here this
season. The scenery for "The Paymaster''
it is said will eclipse anything seen in the
Grand up to the present time.
Cottonwood Hall is the name given to
the new theatre in Deer Lodge. and opened
by the Vessels Company last night, who
appeared in michael Strogoff."
The Vessels Company will play d re-
turn engagement here next week and will
probably open in the famous play OF

MIR. INGALLS,, in his speech in the SEN
ate on Monday, forgot that at the recent
Grants birthday dinners held in Boston,
New York and other prominent cities in
the Union, were gathered representative
men from the North and South, who all
spoke the praises of the dead hero with
hearty unanimity and unstinted admira-
ton for the victorious soldier. But not
a word wa spoken about the bloody
shirt. 1t is only statesmen Of the caliber
of Ingalls, who do the fighting a quarter
OF a century afterwards. At present there
is no trace of bitter recollection and no
enmity existing in the South. The men
of the South to-day would rally around
the good old flag If the occasion should
arise hand in hand and shoulder to
shoulder, while such men as Ingalls, will
be found looking after army contracts.

SHALL We RUILDa

Among the live men who now inhabit
Butte, there are several who have faith
in its future, and who are determined
that if effort can accomplish anything,
it shall yet be the city that its possible
ties warrant. As an end to this view,
there is a proposition on foot to establish
a building and loan association. There
can be no better mode, in a community
like Butte, for advancing its material
prospects than organizations Of this
character, and if the one spoken of shall
accomplish its mission and be the fore
runne OF others, it will have done a
good work.

The DepeW boomers are hard at work
in New York and several other States.
Their argument is that Depew is the only
man who can carry New York. There is
no reason TO doubt that an organized eff
fort will be made to give him the nomi-
nation at Chicago. MI. Depew is init
mately connected with the railroad prob
lem Of the country. The people are at
present rather apprehensive of the i'm
mense power welded by railway corpo-
rations who control the United Senate,
and with a railway magnate like Depew
in the Presidential chair, the people
would be at the mercy of the corpora
tions Of the country. Next November,
however, will see any ap%prehensions on
this score dissipated by the retention Of
Grover Cleveland as the guardian of the
peoples rights.
