Talking About the Alice.

From the Helena independents.
VIM. f.. Hall, superintendent of the
Alice Mining of Buttc,sis in the
city. He says that sixty stamps of tho two
mills are constantly dropping on ore and
sinking in the Alice will soon begin. The
Magma Charta is supplying most OF Inc
ore that is being crushed and the grade of
the product is equally as good il not bet
ter than il has been for several years. Up
tn date the Alice has paid S7T5,-
600 i'm dividends, the last divi-
dend having been paid i'm December,
1888. When asked the date that the next
dividend would he declared. Supt. Hall
said he did not know when IL would he,
but thought il was not faroff. 1t is stated
as n reason for the -postponement of divi-
dentls, that President JOSEPH Walker has
determined not to pay IL dividend until
the company has ON hand n surplus suiii-
cicnt to ensure dividends continuously for
some time to come. In New York the
stock is very quiet at soc. per share, with
no sales recorded for some time.

GIVE THEM THE BALLOT GENTLEMEN

The Senate of California is to be COM
mendeu for yesterday passing the bill CIV
ing the ballot to women in all elections in
viewing the selection of school officials, 1t
ought to go to the House and under the
PISA OF urgency be passed without soli-
tars vote in opposition or moments hest
ta,ion.
Il is not proposed now to review the
almost countless arguments that can be
aesanced In its support. or marshal the
MYRIAD OF reasons that Justify its enact
m Mt into law. 1t must suffice to say that
II is wise measure. in the light of expert
enee IN other States; that no State having
tired it proposes to abandon the system /;
th:st II women are not competent to Judge
OF the character and capacity of school Off
Gals they are not qualified or fit to teach
our children.
What an absurdity our present law is
women can be elected to sit on School
Boards, to be County and City Superin-
tendents of Schools. but are not permitted
to vote for the official stations the law
qualities them to fill.
There is no argument that can be raked
up against the Senate bill that has not been
troited up and down before the face of
progress ever since the time when women
Were held to be chattes and slaves, and
meA masters and barbarians. The gaunt
forms OF the reasons" against such bill
have dragged their feshless offensiveness
across the path of every effort to uplift
mankind ard foster the enlightenment of
the race.
Let the men of the Legislature be cour-
ageous enough in these the last hours of
the session to crown that body with an
honor that will be fadeless and imperish-
able, by saying to the women of California:
Win you we raise up children to the
State; come with us to the polling booth,
anG let us together-fathers and mothers,
br, t2ers and sisters, wives, husbands and
loyess-agree together upon the fitness of
those who are TO administer the affairs of
the common schools in which the children
OF the State are to bent to growth for the
high purposes of citizenship
