DIR. ". Sewa I'd Webb, son-in-law of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt, and ten other
tourists, arrived at Great Falls on
their way east over the Manitoba in a
special car, last night. This distinguish
ed party has been making a tour Of the
west by rail. The train consisted of four
cars, and the distance travelled since
leaving New York and return will he up
ward Of 10000 miles, the cost of
which will be something over $150,o0O.
But then this is nothing when we take
into consideration the fact that nearly
every member of the party ranks among
the millionaires of America. Bon vow
age. They stop over in Great Falls today.

Harry W. Child Resigns,

A letter from Harry w. Child to the
central committee announces his resig-
nation. After arriving in Helena, some
important business called him out of the
territory and owing to matters connected
with the smelter he would not have been
able to attend to the duties of the office
had he been elected. The LEADER re-
grets his resignation. Since his nomina-
ton he had been steadily growing in
popularity, Notwithstanding the personal
abuse heaped upon him by the Collins
organ, which hoped to cover up the un-
popularity of one Of its own candidates
by abusing Mr.. Child. The republicans
will put up ftrong man and elect him,

New York, May 9.--The senate in
work this morning. President Roberts
of the Pennsylvania road testified, "That
since the United States began to regulate
railroads by special legislation the latter
had been placed a. disadvantage in
competition with those Of Canada, the
Grand Trunk road being independent of
legislation which effects those of the
United States, and is constant menace
to the latter. don't know that at pres
ent the Canadian roads do any serious
injury to American commerce, but they
are in position to do so at any time the
managers see fit."
''What advantage have the Canadian
roads over those of the United States?"
"The Canadian Pacific is heavily sub
sidized by the government to encourage
the development of the country. The
Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific draw
their supplies from England free of
duty
"Can roads in the United States be op-
Grated as cheaply as Canadian roads?''
''rhere is considerable doubt as to the
answer to that question"
"What remedy have you to suggest US
to amendment to the law that would
place the American roads on an equal
ity?"
Il think any foreign corporations doing
business should be subject to the same
laws as roacs of our own country. If
Canadian roads are permitted to carry
traffic in and out of the United States
they should be made amendable to our
laws. Of course we cannot oblige for
eign roads to conform to our laws when
out Of the country, but while they do
business within our borders the same law
should apply to both. In fact I am not
sure foreign roads should be allowed the
privileges they enjoy in this country
even if under these conditions. cannot
quite understand why foreign roads
should be allowed to go in and out Of the
United States while foreign vessels are
not allowed to do coasting business with
this country"

old Cicero and Demosthenes had no need
to trcmble In envy. II Is true there were
no contests, no fight Of factions. The
Magce crowd were not there or were
cowed into submission to King Quay.
Ed. Martin ran the Lancaster delegation
and gave the boys their railroad tickets.
John II. Landis, the statesman from
Manor, Is on the state committee, and
the sweetened cake Is thrown TO the
Prohibitionists. Shirk, Of the city and
Lands, Of the Northern district, came
home alone and lonely.
The platform Of the boys is a very
vulnerable one and will I've torn asundcr
later in the campaign with particular
pleasure. Just now we cannot do much
but laugh. The whole proceedings
without going into detail were n mixture
of Grand Army songs, whitewash for
Corporal Tanner, prohibition saddles,
protection cries and Quay plaudits. The
words of Permanent Chairman Della
mater, "T'he peerless Quay, by force Of
his mastery management, stayed the
onward march Of Democratic free trade
aud gave us glorious victory, well re-
dected the spirit of the boys and every
body who could not fall in with this sort
Of hero worship came home disguised.

The Paving Bids.

The difference of opinion developed in
councils over the awarding Of the con-
tract for laying asphalt blocks OF North
Duke street is fine example Of the ease
with which people may manage 20 differ
honestly and sincerely over very sim
pie matter. Some argue that Hinden
4 Fritchey are the lowest bidders and
should have the work In accordance
with the understanding held when the
bids were taken. Others that the CON
tract should he given to the lowest bid
der known 10 be competent, and that as
councils have no such knowledge Of
Hindcn & Fritchey they should not be
considered in the award. Now we are
inclined 10 think that this matter of ex-
pericncc has been made too much of.
The property holders very naturally re-
fuse Ia buy pig In u poke and prefer
the known work of Galbraith to
the unknown work Of the Others,
but there are carefully drawn spccifica-
tlons on which the bids were made, and
IL is well known that whoever gets the
contract will give the actual laying of
the blocks to experienced workmen from
ANii ltiul ~ nt''NSVhN W
secure the best of work Is TO zee that the
bed is prepared for these experts in ac-
cordance with the specifications, and in
% thorough aud worknan-like manner.
This duty ofoversccring the work would
naturally fall TO the street commissioner
and ought not to overtax his ability
The error in the first place was in ask
ing bids for the whole three squares at
once ; but now that bids have been taken
the only just course open seems 10 be
the acceptance of the lowest, and a
rigid and careful supervision of the
work. The property owners may not
agree To this, but that would hardly be a
public calamity, as councils may then
divert the balance of the fund to meet
the other and more urgent needs of the
city.

"Jack the PeeIer," whose antics have
again on his rounds Tuesday night. Evil
IDENTIFY he had prepared for the change In
| the weather, for nj one place he appeared
| in pair OF rubber booe and a waterproof
coat. lie carried a dark lantern and also q
pistol, which he tlourished In the faces OF
The persons he visited. As heretofore, he
showed no evidence that his visits were for
the purpose of robbery, and his only OBJ
jcct, apparently, being TO visit bedrooms.
Screams were heard about midnight
from the house Of Jacob Weisloger In
Marshall street, and the next moment n
man throw up the window. dropped 10 the
ground, and disappeared. couple Of
minutes later, Mr.. and Mrs. Weisloger ap
peared at window calling for the
police. The pepper, IL was learned,
had stcalthilv crept up stairs and
opening the door aroused Mrs. Weisloger,
and she jumped up in bed and began TO
scream, awakening her husband. The in
truder shook pistol I'm her face and quickly
retreated, locking the door on the outside
so as to facilitate his escape. When the
couple succeeded in breaking open the
door he had vanished.
He next turned up at the house Of Mr..
Hcenan in Fulton street, where he awoke
the people by trying TO raise window. He
fled when he found he had been discovered.
Tho residence of Mark Feeney, in East
Jersey street, was next invaded. Here he
got in through a kitchen window. lie
opened all the doors in the lower part of
the house, So as to give him clear exit
He eascended to the bedroom ofMrs. Fecney
who is light sleeper. She heard the door
crcak, aud the next moment she saw a head
cautiously poked in. She gave a scream,
which startled the neighborhood and
brought all the inmates Of the house tremb-
ling out of their beds The intruder darted
down the stairs and ont Of the house, and,
running across some vacant lots, disap-
reared i'm the darkness and rain. Tho
feeneys, huddlcd on the sidewalk, watched
his flight.
The last place he tried was the house 3ls
Fulton street Here his footsteps aroused
the watchdog and he fled.
ON Monday night the residence of Will
Jam Adams, in Amity street, was entered.
Adams would have shot him had not his
excited wie grabbed his arm and given
him chance TO jump through q window
and escape.
II is astonishing how the crank, lunatic,
or whatever he may prove TO be, always
manages To get away, and, moreover, sets
the police at defiance. They have been
unable to get the slightest clue To his idcn-
tity, although during his operations, cover
ing four months, he has entered about
thirty-tive houses in various parts Of the
city. Plumber is not his object, as there Is
no report of his having stolen anything In
the places he has visited. His exploits
usually occur between the hours of | p. ~.
and n. IN, and his favorite visiting spot
is the sleeping apartments of females. The
entire detective force Of Elizabcthport
were securing the city on Wednesday for
clues.

CONSULAR report just published re-
veals the existence of II remarkable system
of contract labor in Massachusetts. II
seems that the intelligence office banishod
from Castle Garden some years ago con-
tinues To operate in New York City. This
institution allures immigrants, who do not
speak English, by promising them work
ON farms ON signing the following contract
in English:
" BY these presents we bind ourselves to
accept the service offered To us by Mr..
-, of Southampton, Mass, and to work
Tor him, or wherever he may place us, for
...,.. dollars month, less. dollars
which amount we are to pay for full board.
ihis contract shall have validity for the
term Of ono year We agree that our en-
ployer take custody of our effects aud con-
sider the Same as pledge or security, to
bo forfeited as soon AZ we shall not fulhn
our obligations. Wages shall he payablc
upon expiration of tho contract hut in
case we do not comply in all respects with
the same, the employer shall have the
right to withhold the samc. from us"
The victim is transported to Northamp-
ton, Mass, where farmers seeking labor
select such as they wish, and the consul
says, they find themselves bound by virtue
of the contract to do heavy work nOtwith-
standing bad treatment and board, for
wages ranging from $50 TO SlOO Il year,
while domestic laborers are not obtainable
for less than $50 year. In this way the
laborer soon finds himself in most miser-
able condition, his wages and effects being
often withheld for trining causes
1t is little surprising Ia find the con-
tract labor law dehcd, aud a ~ ystcm akin TO
slavery In full practice in Massachusetts.
Germany lost last year by emigration
over eighty thousand of her people, and
about seventy seven thousands of these
emigrants came to the United States. No
wonder the German government wants 10
found colonies of her own.
