THE Inter Mountain" pops its old
chestnut about the hydrant water, again,
This water question was an issue last
spring, and on II the Republicans came
into power. They promised great re-
forms. Why have they not fulfilled those
promisesp The people have voted every
thing that was asked. The water com
pany has done all il was required to do.
The only dereliction Of duty is with this
Republican Council. Some time ago the
'lnter Mountain" praised the water sup
ply. That was last fall, when the Coun-
Gil seemed likely to do something. But
since then, as before, the Inter Noun
tain" has lost nc occasion to misrepre-
sent the condition Of the water. II the
water Is not as it ought to be, why does
not the Republican Council remedy it?
IL is in the majority: it was elected ON
a water issue. Nearly a year has gone.

ing on this subject Why does it not

portant Question.

portant Question.
WASHINGTON, February S.-The resolu-
tion proposing an amendment to the con-
~stitution declaring that the right to vote
shall not be abridged by the United States
or any state on account OF sex was favor.
ably reported yesterday by Senator Blair,
from The select committee on woman suf-
frage. The report recommends the adop-
ton OF the resolution. After reviewing the
history OF the woman suffrage movement
and making some comments upon the de-
nial OF the right Of suffrage to women as
an injustice equal to that OF negro slavery,
it concludes as follows:
t'Unless this government shall be made
and preserved truly republican in form by
the Acknowledgement of women, the great
reforms which her ballot would accomplish
may never be realized, and the disintegra-
tion and Generalization now proceeding in
the body polite are not likely 500 to be
arrested. The corruption of male suffrage
is already q well.nigh fatal disease A re-
publican form OF government can not sur
vive hall slave and half free.
1.-THE ballot is witt. held from be-
cause men are not willing to part with one
half OF their sovereign power. There is no
other cause for the continued perpetuation
of this unnatural tyranny.
'Enfranchise women or this republic will
steadily advance to the same destruction,
the same ignoble, tragetic catastrophe
which has engulfed all the male republics
of history. Ler US establish a republic in
which both men and women shall be free,
indeed. Then shall the republic be per-
~petual."
A minority report, adverse to the adop.
ton OF the resolution reported. will here
after be presented.

THERE SHOULD BE A BOUNTY LAW,

TRERE SHOULD BE A BOUNTY LAW,
The northern and eastern sections OF
Montana are oyerrun with wolves,
coyotes, wildcats mountain lions and
gOphers There is a bill before the
Legislature to offer O. bounty for the de-
structien Of these animals.
There is some opposition to the meas
ure on the ground that it would be a
needless expenditure Of money for Mon
tana to pay a bounty when the sur.
rounding territories do not cooperate,
or course there is some weight in this
logic, but not enough to warrant fatal
opposition to the measure. The fact that
our neighbors do not always do right,
should not deter us from doing our
manifest duty. The example of Montana
is likely to lead to like resultsin Dakota,
Wyoming. Idaho and the British possess.
ions Montana can better afford to lead
in this matter than it tau To procrasti.

If the air and the water are SO vile In
Butte, as the "Inter Mountain" alleges,
why does 1t not demand the Republican
council Of this city to legislate on the
matterp Instead Of doing this. it prefers
to continue its bowls for the ear of the
outside public whom it seems determin-
ed to impress with the belief that who
ever enters Butte leaves health and hap
piness behind him. IL the allega-
tons were true, the Inter Mountain"
could justify its eourse on this ground.
But since u reservoir water doubtless
equals that of almost any city. in purity,
the alarming notes sent out are mex
cusable. 1t is no wonder people refuse
to buy our city bonds.

WAR PREPARATIONS GOING ON.
The Heavy Appropriations Agreed to by
the Senate COMMITTEES,

The Heavy Appropriations Agreed to by
the Senate Committee,
WASHINGTON, February 9.--rhe fortitica,
ton and naval appropriation bills wers
submitted to the full Senate committee on
appropriations, to-day, by the sub-com'
mittee charged with their examination.
The appropriations in the fertilization
bill was increased as follows: Torpedoes
for harbor defence 5000. 600; machine guns
OF American manufacture $4,000; cafe
sons, battery wagons for $40 inch gums
$4S. 900; for conducting the annual heavy
artillery practices $4,000.
Provision was inserted that all moneys
shall be disbursed by the board OF ord.
nance and fertilization, created last year,
and it is made imperative on the board to
buy only American material.
For steel forgings and for gun carriages
the appropriations amount to nearly
$500, 600.
Heavy additions were made to the naval
bill. The construction OF two steel gun
boats or cruisers is provided for, to he of
from 5000 to IL, 900 tons displacement,
and to cost not more than $500, 600.
Also, one steel cruiser OF 10000 tons dis
placement, to cost $4,000. Appropria-
ton is also made for one ram Tor harbor
defense, in accordance with plans prepared
by the naval advisory board OF 1881.
In order that these vessels may be
speedily built, the appropriation for steel
machinery is increased by q million and q
hall, and that for armament by o million
Tour hundred thousand.
All new vessels are to be lighted by elec-
tricity, aud q sixty thousand a~ppropria-
ton is for that purpose.

THOSE interested are wondering what
has become Of the Oklahoma bill. 1t
passed the House, thanks to the energy
OF Representative Springer, by o good
healthy majority, but 1t now SCENE to be
slumbering in the Republican Senate,
where the fight will have to be made
over again. John Bushyhead, ex-goyer-
nor Of the Cherokee Nation, says the
President has promised to veto the bill
should 1t get through the Senate. 1t is
to be hoped Bushyhead is in error. There
seems to be insufficient reason for
longer Withholding this rich territory
from settlement by white men.

The New York postoffice has stood
where it does now for eleven years. During
ali that time it has never been closed. In
fact, like T~ennysou's brook, the postsfice
goes on forever doing business. 1t requires
fifteen men and five women to keep it
clean. They are at work continually, and
still the force is insufficient. 4 cart load
of dirt is swept up in the corridors each
day. The postofice flthers more
than its legitimate share OF
dirt from the fact that
pedestrians take advantage OF it's cool cor
ridors in the summer TO protect them frsm
the heat, and also in winter to avoid the
cold. All kinds of articles arefound on the
acknowledges, including umbrellas, pocket
books, books. shoes. clothing, etc. These
articles are all taken to room No. l. where
they can be secured by u description of the
article lost. 1t is estimated that 16, 600
more people pass under the roof u the
New York postoffice every day than any
other roof on the coUtjaeat.-TThA Phi
