INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

There is little likelihood, in the condi- the necessity of passing the appropria- tion bills, that anything will be done at the present session of congress regarding the international copyright bill. Any action looking to the enactment of an equitable law would be liable to pro- yoke considerable discussion, and it would not be possible hardly to effect any legislation at this time. But the fact remains that something should be done if the American people desire to preserve their reputation for justice and honorable dealing.
 The absence of an international copy right law, by which the works of authors on both sides of the water might be pro- tected, has been fragrant source of in justice. Men and women who have night oil in the production of their works have seen them pirated right and left, and they have been powerless to protect themselves against the robbery. Inventors in mechanical industries, those master minds whose genius has wrought out physical phenomena and unraveled the mysteries of natures forces, have their protection in the patent laws of our own and other coun- tries-and it is we'll that they have, for every man should be protected in en- toying the fruits of his own powers. But the fertile intellects whose fancy weaves the thread of fiction, whose brain unravels the hidden truths of science are left to buffet with those who would steal the product of their genius. It has been claimed, for instance, that Mrs Ward has received but $500 for the au- thorized reprint of her Robert Elsmere in America though the sales of the book have been enormous. And every writer of prominence is exposed to similar pi racy-our own as we'll as those on the other side of the ocean-for in the ab. sence of an international copyright law to protect them they have no redress. The Dickens and Coopers and Scotts, the Washington Irvings and Longfel, lows and Bryants, and scores of others who have wrought their literary fancles into living form, have had to bewall the sheltering aegis of international law thai is thrown around the man who has in vented particular style of can opener or an original photographic tripod There is no protection for the literateur while all others can secure to themselve' the fruits of their genius and their toll.
 This is not creditable to the American sense of fair play. Authors should have abundant protection for their works and in so doing the public need not suffer for the cost of books need not, under al equitable copyright law, be much if an. increased. The matter is not one tha involves political considerations and vii not need to be decided on political lines A just, fair and proper copyright lav should be passed, and that too at the ear

DOUBLED IN n
The McDermott Hotel Already Needs En-
largement.

ScOA"
It was learned at the McDermott Hotel
last evening that it's owner, W. McDermott,
has decided to enlarge the house by an ad.
dition on the east that will bring the pres.
ent building to the form OF II square. The
frontage on East Broadway will be sixty
feet more than at present, makingit 20 by
135 on Wyoming street. The building is to
be extended at the present height east on
Broadway and south to the alley. A one
story and basement addition will be built
on the alley connecting the east wing with
the present building. There will be q
court in the center which will be
rooted over at the first story for the
office or for uee rs the dining O it is
not yet decided which. The present dining
room will be converted into a billiard room
and the kitchen into lavatory, etc. The
present building has already been found
deficient in accommodations for families,
sample rooms and rooms for commercial
travellers. The idea is to have suites of
rooms with bath and necessary adiupc.s
in each. If the proposed plans are carried
out, they will give the house eighty five more
rooms, besides business offices, making
a hotel OF IT'S rooms, which Mr.. Wey says
will then be equal to Che demands OF his
business. Contracts have been entered
into by Mr.. McDermott for the lumber
necessary, and the brick contracts will be
under negotiation to-day. The changes
involved in the lower part of the house
will be numerous, and the result will be a.
handsome and imposing structure, worthy
OF n place in the front rank OF hotels OF
the State that ia to be.

Particulars Concerning the New Opera
House To-MorrOw Night.

Particulars Concerning the New Opera
House To-Morrow Night.
1t is simply marvellous the complete
change that has been made in the new
Opera House during the past two days.
Gangs OF carpenters have been placed day
and night, SC that every thing will be ready
for tomorrow evening. The chairs are all
placed in position, and for elegance and
comfort so far surpass those in the old
building that comparison is out Of the
question. The dress circle decorations ale
finished and Parsons brush is doing magic
work on the new scenery. The boxes are
the admiration OF all who have seen them.
They are large, capable of seating
five persons in easy comfort. They
command a full view of the house
and, What is more desirable, p full view oil
the stage. The balcony circle is all that
could be desired, while in the gallery there
is not a single seat that does not command
a view Of the entire stage.
The stage itself is considerably larger than
the stage of the old opera house, and so
constructed hat the largest scenery carried
by any company can be placed to advant.
age. The first opportunity OF seeing the
stage to the best advantage will not occur
perhaps before Gilmore's spectacular piece
OF 1.-THE Twelve Temptations" is pre-.
sented the coming summer. The
opening play tomorrow night will be
"a Celebrated Case; or, the Field OF Fonte-
noy," with Miss Rose Osborne in the part
OF Adrien, which was created by her when
originally produced at the Union Square
Theater, New York, and was the biggest
success OF the time. The supporting com.
pany is strong, and OF course it is needless
to say that the house will be crowded, not
only tomorrow night, but every succeeding
night during the engagement.

"PROTECTION" In IRELAND.

"PROTECTION" In IRELAND.
BalfOur and the London Times must
be proud of the record which forger and
sneak Pigott and the spy LIE Caron are
making. The present Tory Government
Of Great Britain is one of the. most in
famous that has existed In that country
in many years. These Tories or Conserv-
atives, as they now delight to be styled,
comprise the tariff or protection party in
that country, and are opposed to the
Liberal, free trade Gladstone party. Their
solicitude for the welfare of the poor man
is in harmony with their whole miscon-
ception Of the theory Of government
that the more law and protection" there
is strung around a person, the happier he
is. The Tories are busily engaged in this
duty Of making the people feel the glor-
ious effects Of this method Of spreading
the light Of modern civilization.
In Mondays dispatches BalfOur is re-
ported to have expressed great delight
with the state Of affairs in Ireland and
the success of the crimes act. whose pa
cifc and am~eliorating effects he declared
were plainly ~perceptible wherever the
plan Of campaign had not penetrated"
OF course this talk Is buncombe, and
MIR. Balfour must have known it. The
plan of campaign has permeated the
whole of Ireland, to q greater or less ex-
tent, and it is creditable to the Irish peO-
pie that they are 81 affected by it, and
the other causes for discomfort, that they
are in constant irritation under the Brit
ish yoke they are compelled to wear.
The latssJ move of the spy Pigott SIM
ply tends to confirm the opinion of the
people that Parnell is right and his enc
mics wrong. Neither the times" nor
Balfour will get much glory out Of this
contest. But Parnell will come out with
flying colors.

A GOOD COMBUSTION.

The preliminary steps taken by the
Northern Pacific and Montana Railroad
Company to secure right of way and
grounds for territorial facilities for the
new railroad to be constructed imme-
diately from Gallatin valley to Butte,
were brought to a close before Judge De-
Wolfe In Chambers, yesterday.
Arguments were heard by counsel for
plaintiffs and defendants during the
day, at which the existing laws relating
to eminent domain were fully elucidated
on both sides.
The petition of the plaintiffs was
granted and three commissioners were
appointed to sppraise and report on the
lands set aside by the railroad company
Tor its specific use.
Each party presented d list containing
the names Of many Of our prominent citi-
zens to Judge De Wolfe, from which to
select a commission rs provided for by
the statutes Of the Territory, which re-
suited tngthe nomination OF Me6SrS. q. b.
Houser, +. e. Sergeant and Az. Barrett.
The selection appears to TIE MINER q
good one, as 1t would be difficult to find a
triumvirate of citizens In this commu-
nifty better adapted to act in such capa-
city. ALI parties connected with these
condemnatory proceedings can rest as
sured that the workings of the commits
sion appointed will be based on equity,
and that a spirit Of fairness to each per-
son interested, will govern the judgment

valuation of the grounds in question at

THE MINER predicts that the
commission named by Judge De Wolfe
will give universal satisfaction.

THE turn the "Times" -Parnell inyesti-
CATION is taking will necessitate the
downfall of the psesent British ministry.
1t is the general belief that the present
Tory Government is as deep in the mud
as the London Times is in the mire.
Pigott has been helped to get away, and
the kilograms show that the constabulary
and the Scotland yard detectives acted as
a body-guard to aid the spy and perjurer
to make his escape. This indicates very
strongly that the government is in the
business, and knew, moreover, Of the dis
reputable character Of the alleged EVIL
dence furnished by Pigott.

TONIGHT Maguire's new opera house
will be thrown open to the public. This
handsome structure Is no nearly COM
pleted that it is deemed advisable to
make the opening at this time, particu-
larly since an excellent company will
christen it with a most entertaining
melo-drama. 1t is quite probable that
the place will be filled with our best peo-
pie, both rs an encouragement to that
indefatigable worker and superb mana
ger, John Mcguire, as well az for the
genuine recreation that will be enjoyed

Hauled in Its Slack,

The running Of the cable in its conduit
yesterday gave many the impression that
it was placed permanently on the sheaves
in the power house. Inquiry showed, how.
ever, that although the cable is in the
power house. it was only the slack that
was taken in yesterday, There are 1000
feet more rope than is necessary for the
road which will be wound on the
reel and kept for emergencies. The
rope 10 brought into and passed out Of the
power house from the conduit on two
sheaVes, ten feet in diameter, set at an
angle OF ID or 20 degrees. It passes in from
n side on to a ten-foot cogwheel, or one
side OF which is a groove, and is wound in a

than any other cable road, which lessons
