OUR NATIONAL VISITORS.

It Is very evident that Secretary Blain,
has q steamship subsidy scheme whicl
he proposes to work on the Pan-Ameri
can congress a. well as upon our owl
congress. In other words he proposes
to double shoot the turn for James G.
Blaine and his friends.
A book has been printed and q CODY
placed In the hands Of every delegate
which is Intended to show him the mu-
tual advantages Of q steamship service
between this country and the Latin
American states, and the matter Of sub

most mastery manner. This little
handbook ofthe situation was dictated
by Blaine as an anchor to windward and
should 1t fail Of its purpose 1t will be
through no fault Of his. The paramount
object Of the Pan7American congress is
beyond doubt . commercial one, and how
this can assume tangible shape under
the existing tariff lisa problem that must
stagger even Secretary Blaine. There
Will be no need Of a steamship line un-
Less there shall be an Interchange of
that will justify it, and
when this Is made possible, no subsidy
will be needed to place the line on a
business basis, which means a fair
remuneration for the capital employed.
There was q time in our history after the
of the civil war when a subsidy was
the infallibIe panacea for

The Champion.
The New Northwest OF Deer Lodge, in
speaking Of the Champion mine, in the Orc
Elmo district, says:
..The Champion company, last Monday
night, temporarily cnt down their mining
force materially in the mine. The reason ior
this is obvious. They are erecting q 90
stamp mill which will be completed on or
before January LIST, to mill their ores instead
OF shipping them. They have now on the
dump ore that il 10 estimated will net the
company 500, 900, and ore enough exposed
10 the mine to run the mill ayear. The ores
are not high enough grade to justify ship

they can be reduced at a much greater Let

toward q heavy body Of ore. The Cham

From Wednesday Daily.
The mineral Of Butte and tne
surrounding country bear the same rela-
ton to the far-off capitalist as does the
strongest magnet to the close-at-hand
needle. Scarcely aday goes by without the
arrival oil capitalists or their agents to ex-
anime the wonderful mines which are every
where to be found in Montana, especially
10 this portion OF it. Scarcely q day passes
with out the organization Of q new mining
company In Butte. Once here, a man who
is looking for property in which to invest,
finds it impossible to suppress his astonish-
ment at tho opportunities offered. both in
real estate and mining properties. for with
out the latter the city would not be able to
offer the Inducements in the former that it
does. Butte 10 q mining town in every
sense OF the word. although it is putting on
metropolitan frills. With it's cable line, its
motor line, it's electric light and many other
substantial modern improvements it 10 q

sources from which millions are taken every
year, it is q rich one. Veins Of mineral
bearing rock too numerous to mention
cross and re.cross each other in and about
Butte, but the principal veins, the ones on
which the larger mines are located, run east
and west. Not only is there rich ore on all
sides Of the city, but underneath it as well.
A we'll known mining man said yesterday
that he thought the City OF Butte covered
more money below the surface Of the
ground than was hidden away in the musty
vaults OF the Bank OF England.

TRANSFORMATION

n ONE four weeks ago we had oc-
casion to call down at the Double
Combination 10 see Mr.. KAUF-
MAN regarding an advertisement
about the Great Fire Sale. For
nearly the entire day we were unable
to secure an interview on account Of
hundreds of customers, who were
more eager to buy than he was to
sell. Such confusion existed for
nearly four weeks, and thousands obs
tanned wonderful bargains which, per-
chance, they may never find again.
Yesterday was the beginning Of the
Spring Opening Of the above estab-
lishment, and we were invited to call.
Well, such a transformation we
thought was utterly impossible. In
stead Of damaged goods strewn all
over the different floors and the front
covered with big cotton signs, every
thing looked neat and fresh-an entire
new stock met our gaze, each depart
ment displaying its Special Novelties,
the most important of which was the
Parisian Millinery. 1t surprised US to
see such elegant taste and selections.
There we're the Elsemen, the Mar
quise, the Valrosa, the Pennant and
the Directoire, all decorated and
trimmed par excellence. A great
many orders were left while we were
there, and some bought from the dis
play. There was little ripple of ex-
citement which attracted our atten-
tion, and that was at the Drapery,
Lace and Net counter. From what
we heard we understood that these
goods were being sold at very low
prices.
The Opening will be for three days
more. This and the Cut Prices COM
bined will continue, no doubt, to draw
the crowds, not alone for this occa-
sion, but for the entire season, as we
were told that no stone will be left un-
turned to make this year the greatest
ever known in the history of

Probably blinded for Lifo.

John Shea, well-known South Washing
ton tough, started row at Nicholson's sa-
loonon PennsylyanIaavenne yesterday after
noon, which will probably leave him blind
for the rest OF his life. He had been put
out of the saloon, and came toward the
door with brick in his hand, Nicholson
saw him coming, levelled his pistol and
sent bullet crashing through the window.
With a cry of pain Shea staggered back
with both hands to his face The powder
and particles Of glass had penetrated both
eyes in frightful manner. The bullet left
only flesh wound on the neck. He was

a Sermon on "Looking nnciwnrd."

Rev. Byron Sunderland. d. D., pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, preached
yesterday on the text: "My Kingdom Is

sermon was largely devoted to q discussion
of the theories In Edward Bellamy's
"Looking Backward" lie said; "The
state of things ms described In the book is
state of things surely contemplated in the
order of Christ's coming kingdom. The
prophecy of ages is yet to be fulfilled"
The speaker continued: at does not seem
to me that this scheme is at all practicable,
and vet 1t is a tentative effort to solve the
mighty problem on the part of those who

from society. Why may not the final solu-
tion be found In the Government itself tax
ing charge of the whole business of the
manufacture and sale of alcohol for me

stead Of licensing private parties to deal
damnation round the land, rigidly hold the
whole business In Its own hands and only
for the Legitimate purposes of life, health
and the industrial artsp In the same man

into its own hands the railroads, telegraphs,
