IMPRESSIONS OF GREAT FALLS.

Appended are the opinions expressed
in the St. Paul Dispatch by Its editorial
correspondent, Hon. M. }. Costello, who
visited this city to verify for himself all
that he had heard and read about it.
Mr.. Costello, who was formerly prom
inent member of the New York lesisla-
ture, writes with that broadness and lib
erality which comes of observation in the
great east and the growing west:
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Sept. 0.-ln no
other community between St. Paul and
Helena are there to be found as great
natural advantages in the direction OF
establishing and permanently maintain
ing a populous and wealthy city as at this
point l doubt if there be any between
st. Paul and the Pacific coast which has
greater. Not only is this the case, but
he manner in which those advantages
have been utilized by the Manitoba road
and the Townsite company have made
them doubly available.
| Like St. Paul, Great Falls is built at a
point of the river where it widens its
borders. sweeping in a majestic curve
toward its final destination. The Mis-
souri, river at this point is magnificent.
Much broader than the. Mississippi, it is
also much shallower, and its waters much
clearer. 1t. passes beneath two bridges
strong and impressive looking, although
not as skillfully nor elaborately construct
ed as those at st. Paul. The city is built
on the east bank of the river and over
looking it. The west side of the river Is
devoted in great, if not entire. measure to
the needs Of the carrying commerce
which centers here, and which, between
the large cattle ranges scattered through
ont the surrounding country, the extent
of mineral wealth of all descriptions
which is being unAarthed in the vicinity
and particularly the extensive coal mines
nj Sand Coulee, about nine miles from
here, has already reached proportions
which are incredible.
A SUPERB LOCATION.
Great Falls stands on magnificen
agricultural plain backed by range o
the Rockies, called, believe, the Bel
mountains. The first impression on
: derives of the town is that, for plac
located so far away from any easter
point of note, there ale eXtraordinar
stretches of railroad cars visible. &c
> miles this spectacle is presented, an
is explained to the stranger by the stat
ment that they are largely coal ca
is which are waiting to load up at the CO..
l. mines. Those cars stand at good di
!, tance from the city and do not interfel
at all with either appearance or comffor
d The streets are broad. The princip
s. hotel looks out upon the city park, ar
,s the park looks out upon the river. III
= general impression is one of vastnes
T. which is rather added to by the dete
a mined effort to cultivate trees.

Neglect of the Suffrage.

The total vote of Massachusetts, last Noven-
Der was only fraction over - per cent OF the
legal voters in the state. The other Is per
cent, or nearly one-fou-th of the voting popu-
lation, did not take enough interest in presi-
dental election to 90 to the polls and cast q
ballot In New England. as a whole less than
twO-thrds of the males OF voting age exercised
the right OF suffrage, and even If legal voters
Only were considered, il would undoubtedly
be found that at least . per cent. failed 20 60
10 the polls This indifference was not shown
in many of the western states. Kansas cast
% per cent. of its vote in 1855; Nebraska,
81 per cent Minnesota, p per cent; Wiscon.
sin. So per cent and Michigan - per cent.
Among the eastern states New York cast 50
per cent of its vote, New jersey s. per cent,
PENNSYLVANIA % per cent, and Ohio - per
cent. The warmth with which Indiana was
contested is shown by the fact that 90 per cent.
Of its vote was polled; but Connecticut. which
was also vigorously fought for. cast only = per
cent OF its vote
The per centage in most Of the states is based
on the census Of 1850. and as population has 10.
creased in all OF them the per centage OF votes
cast is probably TOO large. and especially so IN
the western states. But admitting al this. and
there is still too great an indifference in ex-
ercisin@ the right OF suffrage IN New England

Not n civil Service Paradise.


liza true civil service reformer should start
out TO look for a political paradise, IL is not az
all probable that he would make permanent
settlement in indianapolis. There are a good
many states and neighborhoods in the country
where men may be found who dearly love an
Office but il is very much TO be doubted whether
any of them could fairly compete for Office
hunger with the politicians OF Indiana. For
many years it has been a very close state From
being a close state il has now become a doubt
full one: that is, it may be Influenced one way or
the other by the locality from which a candidate
may be chosen, by money, or by other undue
and unnatural influences. Nevertheless the
postmaster of indianapolis. who, in this case,
happens to be Mr.. HarrisOn's old partner, might
with all due sense OF propriety, make up his
mind to obey the mandates of the civil service
law without REL 1 ering it necessary for the COM
mission TO inter- re TOO much in the manage
ment OF his Office Not only is this the case,
but Mr.. Harrison himself, for his own personal
comfort. il no other or higher principle should
move him, would do well TO give a little atten-
ton TO matters at his own home.

INDIANA IN 1890.
An Eastern Forecast of Next Years Cam
paign in This state.


paign in This state
n. Y. SUM-
The reorganization of the republican state
committee of Indiana recalls attention to the
importance of the campaign in 1890, for which
both parties in that state are already preparing.
The legislature to be elected next year will
choose a senator in congress to succeed the Hon.
Daniel W. VOORHEES,. Some OF the state senators
to be elected will holi over and take part in
the election of a successor to the other senator
in congress from Indiana, the Hon. David
Turpie. The legislature of 1891 will reappOr-
ton the congress districts and legislative dis
triets a lob which is done with peculiar deN-
terity by the HOOsier politicians. In fact, the
party that wins in Indiana next year will be
very foolish or unlucky il il doesn't keep the
upper hand in the state for the next ten years.
Then there are the congress elections. Take it
all around. 1890 will be hot year in Indiana
politics. and Indiana politics are never cold
To Gen. Harrison the Indiana elections viii
be of high and critical interest. If he is beaten
there, il is all over with him. And he has been
in politics long enough to know that the cleo
tions of the second year of presidents term
are often, one might almost be justified in
saving usually, OF good cheer TO the opposition.
There many disappointed Ofice-seekers IN
Indiana, and there Will be more IN a year from
now. Gen. Harris0n's treatment OF Indiana
been fortunate. and the powerful Gresham in
tereSt remains dissatisfied He is not a popu-
lar man in his state. In spite OF the assurances
of his boomers at Chicago. heroic exertions I'd
piles of money were necessary TO carry the
state for him, even with the powerful stimulus
of state pride and the enthusiasm OF presiden-
tial election in his favor What advantage
save the machine will he have in 1890? And a
machine run not with a view to Cancellation Of
rivalries and a consolidation OF party interests,
but personal annex and a desire to force a
denomination, has no great working value.
Besides Gen. Harrison's actual size is becom-
ing fully known in Indiana. and II Is getting
more difficult TO retain illusions about him.
He will have to bestir himself with more activity
and skill than he has shown as yet If he is going
TO save his bacon In 1890.
The Indiana democrats have got likely can
didate for vice-president in Isaac p. Gray.
They have every reason to do their best IN 1890.
Two senators. the congress delegation, the legis-
lature, and perhaps second place in 1892. The
prize is worth fighting for.
There are republican leaders who viii not
weep if Indiana is lost to the republicans ia
1890.

There's No substitute for Leather.

Leather is unique material. There is

Flexibility and durability are opposite
qualities that no other product possesses

else. 1t is the one commodity for which
there is absolutely no substitute. Cotton,
wool, linen and silk are to some extent
interchangeable; wood, iron and stone
are frequently used in lieu of each other,

The sea horse is so called because he
hasn't the least resemblance to horse,
and because he is never seen in the sea.
The name was given him by some smart
Alec who felt awfully funny that day.
Some years later another smart Alec
changed the name to sea COW, but that
doesn't hit any closer. They are found
in rivers and lagoons instead of the sea,
and they resemble COWS as much as a
stuffed woodchuck does live lion.
The principal occupation of a sea horse
COW, as we are obliged to call him, is
promenading around on the muddy bot
toms of muddy rivers, satisfying his
hunger on the best the land affords, and
making the neighborhood highly I'M
comfortable for African gentlemen out
fishing in their canoes. He has no am
bition beyond that, and If undisturbed
would let the world wag along and mind
his own business. Naturalists claim that
he is very docile and affectionate when
In captivity, and the day may come when
he will replace the poodle dog as pet.
His span Of life is supposed to be sixty
years, but that doubtless depends great
deal on the care he takes of himself If
the newly discovered elixir of life works
as is hoped for, the sea horse-cow's days
may be extended over hundred years.

limitations of Old nronre.

An excellent imitation of old bronze
has been introduced in some of the art
products Of that character. 1t is well
known that the repeated applications to
copper or brass of alternate washes of
dilute acetic acid and exposure to the
fumes Of ammonia result in very an
tique green bronze; but q more rapid
method of producing this beautiful ap-
pearance has long been desideratum.
It Is now found that this may be accom-
plished by immersing the articles in a
solution of one part perchloride of iron
In two parts Of water, the tone acquiring
darkness with length of immersion, or
the materials may be boiled in a strong
solution Of nitrate of copper. 1t is also
found practicable to insure the desired
effect by immersing the articles in solu-
ton Of two ounces of nitrate of iron and
the same quantity of hyposulphite of soda
in half pint of water, drying and burn
ishing completing the process. New

The finest and best sponges in the
world are now obtained along the Flori-
da Keys. Native F1oridians do the prin-
cipal gathering. There are some Bahama
Islanders also. The sponge fishers are
called conks. They do not dive, but tear
up the sponges with three tined forks on
long poles. A Greek came down from
New York a year or SO ago and tried
gathering them by diving, using a regular
divers suit, but he made failure of it.
The sponges grow rapidly. A bed which
has been fished clean will be covered
with a new growth in six months. The
product amounts to nearly half million
dollars annually. Flag.
