BLAINE IS CHANCEs.
Model Coast Defense Vessel.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The board of
the bureau of chiefs consisting of Com
modores J. B Schley and Sicard, Chief
of Construction Wilson and Chief Engi-
neer Melville to which Secretary Whitney
referred Representative Thomas plans
for coast defense vessel, yesterday con-
cluded its labor, agreeing to report the
plans back to the secretary with recon-
mendations that they be adopted by the
department. The vessel designed by Mr..
Thomas is a monitor of 5000 tons burden,
armed with one dynamite gun, two 10
inch guns, two torpedo tubes,
and one rapid firing gun.
She is to have six feet of freeboard with
provision for sufficient water balance to
submerge her in action three feet, thus
giving her but six feet of exposed board
The decks are flush and the ten-inch guns
instead of being fired through holes in
the turret are fired over the top as be-
hind a bulwark. The speed of the vessel
is to be seventeen knots. The members
of the board are of the opinion that the
design has great merit.

NOT A CASE FOR PITY.

The terrible scenes at Jessup, Ga, on
Christmas day must not be distorted
into an argument in favor of the rights
of the cOlored race, although republican
orators and newspapers are ever ready
to accept suc incidents as proof of al
legged negro outrages i'm the south. All
dispatches from the scene of the trouble
agree that il was the result of an at
tempt by sworn officers of the law to
arrest "A negro outlaw, and that AN un-
armed man WAS shot down like a dog
will not tend to create sympathy with
those who are now being hunted i'm the
marshes of Georgia.
The people of the North are ever
ready with schemes for the wiping out
of race prejudices in the South. The
same prejudice exists i'm the North, in "a
more limited degree, of course, but still
it exists. The loudest mOuthed orator
for the rights of the downtrodden race
would be MORALLY offended should he
find persons of color at his dinner table
except in their capacity as servants.
Impracticable solutions of the negro
question are as numerous as fieas i'm
dog days and just rs useless. The
time will come when the col,
ored ace will gradually have
worked out its true emancipation,
but no laws can ever remove the preju.
dice which now exists. The problem is
i'm their w hands, and time alone is
needed to work out the solution.
But the outlaws of .Iessup are no,
the friends of their own race i'm that vi
cinity. The better class of blacks hav.
taken refuge in the homes of white
riends and are under their protection
still there are men who will manage {,
twist h truth of this terrible affair
into another southern outrage"

an extremely feeble tribute to the polit-

The little fact that this man got any

Ii enough to raise serious question re-
garding the fitness Of the revolutionary
leaders i'm Brazil to plant a republic on
safe foundations.
The STANDARD was about to raise
the query whether this business wa
not worked AS an advertisement for
Boulanger, in view of h fact that he
has been announced for an American

Butte needs n court. The row fol
lowing the rape of the tunnel precinct

every reader of the STANDARD knows
what happened. Practically. all bust
ness i'm the Silver bow court has been
under suspended animation ever since
the contest over election returns

His successor. Judge Mcllatton. has
not ventured into business of any ac-
count. doubtless deeining the possible

his rival for office. prompted 10y mo
tives that are proper enough and act

Office of judge Internationally into the
hands of Governor Toole. In all prob
ability, the place will not long be va
cant, and there is no La of material
from which the Governor may select n
Judge who will be perfectly satisfactory
to every member of the Silver Bow bar.
II is not to be supposed thai the Judge

tainments fail to commend him. or Ia

ONE MORE OF THEM.

They say that Gallagher has really
skipped. lie is the man who is accused
of having pounded to death the poor
devil who was put under the sod a few
days ago.
Time was, in the career of Butte
City, when a brute who added murder
to other offenses would have found 1t
impossible to skip the town, but, un-
fortunately. those sturdy days appear
to have rome beyond recall. That city,
backed by as sterling men as eve built
a town, carries i'm supercargo a lawless
element which manages to evade pun
ishment with u regularity that awakens
more than suspicion.
If "a career i'm Butte or Silver Bows
police service il "a credit to any man,
the public has not discovered the fact.
The epitaph on this latest incident,
which must be a burning humiliation
to every officer i'm Silver Bow, will
simply be that Gallagher was too sick
to be captured.
The whole disgraceful affair is as thin
as gauze. The public will believe, with
out newspaper suggestion, that Gala
CHER was permitted to get away, as
others have been allowed to get away
befOre him. Time was We repeat, when
Butte wouldn't have tolerated this sort
of business, which allows itself to be
called bungling i'm order to avoid being
styled criminal IA i'm fact it is.
The escape of Gallagher should not
dishearten the officers of Silver Bow or
mar their holiday pleasures. Perhaps
the man who murdered Ward will take
pity on the discouraged officers and re.
turn. Ii there is n spark of generosity
i'm the heart of Referee Golden, he. too
will come back and give himself up
