missed and the costs, amounting to $26.8O,
assessed against her. Lulu was then tried
on the charge OF disturbing the peace, and
it being apparent that she had done SO, a
fine OF 81 and costs was imposed. At the
conclusion of the trial the bill against Lulu,
which footed up about $3S, was duly set

the woman.

THE National League opened on Friday

several games. In these instances the

The overwhelming majority of Cover.

election in Louisiana is accounted foF by
the fact stated in dispatches from New
Orleans that 1.-The negroes Of Caddo, West
Carroll, Madison. Rapid and most of the
northern parishes of the State voted the
Democratic ticket" The carpet baggers
played them for suckers until they
awoke to a. realizing sense of the fact

The Inter Mountain continues to com
plain that the Democratic Territorial
Committee has ignored public opinion
AT this writing, no outward evidence of
this public opinion exists save in the edi-
~tor1alsanctums of the Inter Mountain and
Helena Herald. This calls to mind the
Three Tailors Of Tooley street in their
famous manifesto beginning "We the
people OF England" The Inter Mountain
and Herald have immortalized them
selves like the bombastic trio Of tailors.

THERE is no uncertainty about the
position of C. E. Conrad, of Fort Benton,
the ChOteau county member of the Dem
ocratic Central Committee. He has no
hesitation in declaring that when he
goes to Helena tomorrow to attend the
meeting called by the chairman, he will
use his vote and influence to send a
Cleveland delegation to the st. Louis
Convention whether it suits the Helena
Herald or the Butte Inter Mountain.

IT is with pain that The MINER OBJ.

to the reprehensible practice Of stealing
dispatches. The latter paper published
yesterday on its first page under date of
April 81, a portion of the Washington
special to the Salt Lake Tribune of the

the probability Of Minister Phelps being

AMERICAN WOOL.
Its Inferiority to European Wool Scien
tificslly Explained.

Its Inferiority to European Wool Scien
tiically Explained.
The reason why American wool will mo-
make as fine goods as that produced in
France and Germany receives this explain
alton in the Philadelphia Inquirer: Tit
sheep raising districts in this country are
in cold sections; among the rocks and hills
OF Vermont, Massachusetts and in portions
where the changes in temperature are sud.
den and the climate is severe. The very
elements which give them health and make
their meat delicious detracts from the
quality OF the goods spur or woven from
the wool. In order to provide a suitable
warm covering and protection from the in.
clement weather nature provides them with
a thick coat, and their wool
o LUxURIANTLY.
This growth is aided by an oleaginous
fluid secreted in the skin, and when the
wool is sheared small gIobules of a glutin-
GUS and sticky nature are found adhering
to the hairs. These are treated with strong
alkalles to remove the excrescences but the
wool feels rough to the touch, altogether

tuct. Tit dyes will wear off first at the |

where the texture has been impaired by

acturers sent some OF the best American

ory, where it was subjected in the dyeing
ouse to exactly the same process as the
Ierman wool. The manifest difference in
ne outcome settled the question finally.

GERMANs's NEXT EMPEROR

With the certainty that the aphysica
torture to which Frederick LII. is sub
jected in the effort 10 maintain him il
existence in spite Of the ravages of disease
cannot be prolonged more than a few
days or weeks at furthest, it becomes
more a matter Of interest to know what
the Prince is like who will inherit his
vast power for good or i'll. Frederick
himself has been too brief a time on the
throne to demonstrate the wisdom and
moderation that would, there are the best
OF reasons for believing, characterize his
reign. 1t is stated that as soon as he
came to the throne he set at work a COM
mission who are entrusted with the work
OF formulating a more liberal represen-
tation of the people in the Prussian Par
Lament. But as his life cannot, even
with the aid of all the human skill
available, be prolonged to see the results
OF the work of that commission take
form in the shape Of a royal edict, it is
probable that this concession to popular
liberty in Germany is destined never to
come to pass. What other schemes of
popular liberty Frederick might put in
force were his life prolonged to the ordi-
nary span is impossible to conjecture. No
doubt the result of his reign, were it to
last as long as that of his father, would
witness an immense advance i'm the way
OF constitutional government.
With his sons advent to the throne all
such promises are destined to vanish. A
correspondent of the New York Times
writing from Berlin describes him thus
William is very deeply and thoroughly
Prussian. He is a living. breathing embed.
lment OF all the qualities and lack OF quail
ties which, though precisely two centuries, |
have brought the little mark of Brandon |
burg up from a puny fief, with a poor, scat
tered population OF a million and a half, |
TO the atate OF a great kingdom, ruling |
nearly fifty millions of people and giving the |
law to all Europe. He is saturated with all
the instincts and ideas which have raised |
this parvenu Prussia to her present emf.
nence, n his character is the crown and
flower OF these two centuries OF might and
ruthlessness and spoliation exalted into a
creed.
To the question what will he do when
he comes to the throne ? the correspond
ent says the most common answer is that
he will overrun all Europe. Emperor
William and Bismarck have made Ger
many an armed camp. They did SO as
the only way that appeared to them GER
tain to secure peace at home so that the
empire might grow homogeneous and
self-sustaining, safe from outward foes {
and the internal enemies.o of peace-So- /
