SHALL We

A meeting is called for tonight at the
board of trade rooms, for the purpose Of
furthering the movement for celebrat-
ing the Fourth Of July by the people Of
Butte. It is to he hoped the meeting will
be well attended.
Butte has been giving q great deal of
money, lately, for charitable purposes
indeed, it is never done giving literally
for such purposes at home and abroad
and doubtless many feel d~isinclined to
contribute for other purposes, just at
present. This, however, Is a mistaken
view Of the matter. The Fourth of July
contributions are largely methods of
business investments. For every dollar
thus expended, several will be returned.
A good celebration will bring thous-
ands Of people here. and they will expend
Of dollars, all of which will
be for the benefit of the business inter-
ests OF Butte. But it is not possible to
have a good celebration without expend-
ing money, and sufficiently large COM
should be appointed to insure the
complete and speedy canvassing of the
whole city, to learn at once what can be
done.
The meeting tonight can do much to.
forward the work already begun. There
should no longer be any delay. Time is
short. What il done must be done

The Inter Mountain" invites the men
who, it says, are bent on side-tracking
that journal, to roll up their sleeves and
get ready. From time immemOrial it
has, SO it asserts, defended the commu-
nifty from the encroachments of monopo-
ly," and it now believes that the COM
munity, whose very existence has de-
pended on the herculean defense of this
martyr to the truly good, will now come
to its aid in its warfare on fraud and
error" Therefore everybody with rail-
road or political collars around their
necks are respectfully but earnestly So
licited to let loose the dogs of war. Vir-
tue is said to be its own reward, and the
"Inter Mountain" will doubtless soon be
wading knee-deep in wicked gore to ul-
success.

At last nights meeting of the City
Council the contract to construct sewers
for the city was let to the Butte Sewer
Pipe & Tile Company. The bids of this
company were lower and in every way
more satisfactory than those offered by
others, and it will give general satisfac-
ton to know that the money thus to be
paid out will benefit home people. Work
is to begin just as soon as the company
can perfect its plans. The people gen.
orally are faN orabIe to the system already
adopted by the Council, and it is to be
hoped that no obstacle will stand in the
way of the speedy completion of the
work. -s..r r. &. .s-.-

The Helena Herald" is trying to call
off the rabid %anti-silver papers in its
own party. 1t gives this pointer to the
influential st. Louis party organ:
II the "Globe-D Democrat" wants to aid
the Republican party of Montana it will
please cease its warfare on silver.
This is a plain mint, but it will not be
needed. 1t has been given before. The
party of the east is unalter-
ably opposed to the use of silver. Its
leaders will fight it at all times. They
are the veriest gold bugs" and want mo
other money, except a few very high de-
bank bills. They import
their monetary ideas from Threadneedle

The Boston Globe" thus fairly states
the Democratic position in the coming
campaigns: ...
The tariff agitation having progressed as
far as it has, the Democrats OF the country
could never be united on a reactionary
program. For every vote that could be
gained by thus making the Democratic
party q weak imitation OF the Republican
party at least ten would be lost. No; the
only sale course for the Democratic party
is straight onward. Timidity would cost
too much; retreat would invite disaster.
Mr.. Tilden, in one OF his mastery letters
on political topics, said that boldness is
often the highest type OF prudence; and the
Democracy might well take that for it's mot
to now. The bold course is now the safest.
The Democracy has now a good cause.
with right and justice on it's side. Having
put it's hand to the pillow of reform, it
would be folly to turn back.

The Germans and the Swiss.
BERLIN, June 1.-THE statement that
the delay on the part of Blaine, the Ameri-
can secretary Of state, in authorizing the
American commissioners to sign the Sa-
moan treaty, is due to the question of al
lowing the Germans claim to indemnity.

The government has notified the Swiss
authorities that it cannot possibly agree
to the proposal made for the settlement
of questions arising from the expulsion
from Switzerland of Herr Stohlgemuth,
German police inspector, who was charged
with bribing a Swiss to act as agent pro-
vocatber. It has also informed them that
Germany reserves the right to take action.

The danger and folly of carrying pis-
tois and dangerous knives are constantly
being emphasized in the crimes result
ing. Monday nights murder at Rocker
was only another instance. People, like
nations, who are well armed and pre-
pared for war at short notice, are pretty
sure to be kept in a state of belligerency
most of the time. The way to have wal
is to prepare for it. The way to peace
lies in an opposite direction. The man
who carries a gun" may be provoked
into using it, by the aid of a quantity of
intoxicating drink, very easily; whereas,
were the EARNED neutrality" not preserv-
ed, the occasion would pass with only an
of bad language, or, at most,
a fistic encounter, until calmer moments
brought reflection and, repentance.
Don't carry dangerous weapons.

ena's selfshness in these words:
We are not inclined to be jealous over

to remember that her resources are princi-
pally drawn from those portions OF Mon.

''outside precincts" 1t is high time that a
change should be in~auguratsd. Let East

ity, and thus secure equal justice for all
portions Of this great commonwealth.

CAPTURE OF COUNTERFEITERS,
An Important Capture at Terre Haute
Indiana.

TERRE HAuTE, Ind, June 1O.-An i'm
portant capture has been made by tn,
police under the direction of Major Carter
chief OF the secret service in this state. I,
was the arrest OF Lon Barrett for passing
counterfeit money. When taken in he had
$50 in counterfeits, all OF the $40 denomi.
nation. and he had just passed one OF the
bills at a saloon. He reached this city after
working successfully Springfield, Chicago and
Decatur. where he got rid of a great deal OF
the stuff. The description OF the man pro.
cured at Decatur led to his arrest here. the
little finger OF his left hand being off.
Major Carter recognized the prisoner al
a dangerous crook, who only recently com.
pleted a term at Jacksonville peniten.
tiary, and who at one time shot a st.
Louis policeman. Major Carter states that
Barrett is q member OF Sam Rivers notaS
gang of horse thieves in Ripley connta
this state. A newspaper clipping Of R;vor,s
recent arrest was found In Rarratt,s
pocket.
A deputy United States marshal arrived
from Indianapolis this evening in resnonso
to Major Carter's telegram, and took the
prisoner to that place. 1t is Understood
that Barrett will plead guilty. The conn.
terfeits carried by Barrett are of a danger.
GUS character, and would be passed nv a
casual inspection. The secret service neo.
pie are greatly delighted at Barrett's can.

Chilli, it is reported, is protesting
against the appointment of Patrick Egan
as United States mini ster to that coun-
try. These protests, it is thought, are
inspired by the English merchants, who
the trade Of that country, and
who fear, from Egan's well-known antip-
to everything English, that he will
leave no stone unturned to counteract
the English influence in South America.

THE SEATTLE BLAZE.
A Prominent Railroad Man who Thinks
It a Good Thing.

A Prominent Railroad Man who Thinks
1t a Good Thing.
CHICAGO, June 1O.-D. 81. Gilman, q prom
inent railroad man OF Seattle, w. T., has
Just arrived in Chicago. He left Seattle the
day before the big fire, but he says from his
knowledge of the city, the lossiwill prove to
Seattle's benefit.
1.-THE part of the city burned" he says,
sis confined almost wholly to the business
district. It consisted of many fine large
buildings, but in nearly every case these
structures were surrounded by blocks OF
wooden buildings. The loss, knowing that
they will be replaced by larger and more
substantial ones, is compensation for the
more expensive structures destroyed. The
fire did not reach that portion where it's
progress would havs left destitute the resi-
dence district. and I do not believe there
will be any call for general assistance.
Governor Terry has asked for contribu.
tions from those in the territory, and l
think that, with what will be voluntarily
voted, will relieve all actual want. The
buildings were mainly owned by those well
able to sustain the loss. Most OF the own
ers are old residents and many of them
millionaires."

present is, What disposition shall be made
of the Childs-Drexel fund, which now
amounts to $22, 900. Some favor the es-
Establishment OF an insurance department,
others the creation of a widows fund,
while an apparent majority favor the es-
tablishing Of a home for aged printers. The

at this meeting.

The Miner.]-There is great excitement in
GrantsdaIe, to-day, at the end Of the Bit

in the Gold Creek branch OF the Lost Horse
creek, found a number Of very large
nuggets OF gold, and came into
G~rantsdale, last night, for 8 mining

one had thought OF locating placer diggings
there before. The ground is now being
rapidly taken up in all directions.

WILL IT BE SERIOUS :?

A Washington letter declares that
Blaine and Harrison have locked arms in
a conflict, the outcome Of which will be
increased power for Blaine or his retire.
ment from the Cabinet. The general
opinion is that Blaine will win, and there
would not be a particle of doubt about it
were it not for the fact that Harrison is
bounded on by that large section Of stall
warts who lived and thrive on the wal
and matters decided twenty-five years
ago. This crowd has never been partial
to Blaine, and it brought about the pres
ent difficulty by compelling Harrison,
who is largely controlled by it, to with
draw the appointments of the Haytian
Commissioners-Beverly Tucker and Gen.
eral Lew Wallace-within an hour after
they were appointed. The appointments
were Blaine's own selection, hence it
may be imagined what the effect of their
withdrawal. without any consultation
with him, had on Blaine. 1t is stated
that he fairly roared when he found it
out, which, by the way, was not until he
saw the morning paper Of the next day.
The withdrawal was brought about by
some cock-and-bull charges against
Tucker in regard to something he did or
left undone while he was agent for the
Confederate government in Canada, dur
ing the late war.
Blaine, who has long been a personal
friend of fuckers, is reported to have
said that the appointments must stand
or he would leave the cabinet. Harrison
would be only too glad to please Blaine,
but cracking over his head is the stall
wart whip which he has complacently
obeyed for so many years that he doesn't
know what to say when it tells him that
Tucker shall not be appointed. The
outcome is therefore in doubt, with the
chances slightly in Blaine's favor.
In the meantime the fight is making a
regular circus for the Democrats at
Washington, who are, as the boys say,
ION to It,"
