In the number of miles of railroad
track laid in the first six months of the
year Montana stands fourth among all
the states of the Union. IL is rather
surprising that the first three should be
Southern states. Georgia leads with
1873 miles, North Carolina follows with
1914 miles, Tennessee with l4g.5 miles,
and Montana with l2l.S miles. Wash
ington is not Sc very far behind, show
ing up l02 miles, while the two Dakotas
are near the foot of the list. These
figures are suggestive and significant.
In proportion to her population, no
state is surprising Montana In energy,
activity and enterprise.

Richards and others became quite BE-
riously involved. IL appears to be q
church feud which, "A usual, finds both
sides certain they are right. When the
story first cropped out, somebody said
that the clerRyman's politics lay at the
root Of the trouble-that he Ii q demo-
crat and therefore distasteful to Mr..
Richards. This may be true, but we
do not believe 1t il. We do think,
however, that no good cause is helped
by keeping up strife like that lately
e~ngendered i'm the Mountain View
church, and that the best way to still
the discord Ia to let the appointments
stand as the bishop made them. IL
may be that this course involves con-
siderable hardship on Mr.. McAllister;
indeed, it seems a little strange that he
should be packed Oft to a little charge
where the church, according to all ac-
counts, is not strong enough to furnish
him decent support, but whether he is
ut fault or whether he has been grossly
wronged, the situation places the
clergyman under that exigency just
now.
The Methodist church has but few
desirable appointments In Montana; 1t

ish rivalry that should have persisted
twenty years ago is kept up in the
form of the Methodist church and the

there would be u dozen towns I'm Mon
lana with one strong church where two
organizations now exist, neither hav-
ing proper strength or growth. Under
existing conditions. il was moi easy to
find a good place for Mr.. McAllister.
We confess IL seems like pretty hard
lines TO he transferred from Butte TO
Stevensville in the capacity Of a MethO.
dist minister.

The celebrated Blythe will ease was
decided I'm san Francisco last week in
favor Of Florence, the decedent's illegit-
innate child, who thereby comes into
possession of about four million dol
lars. In many respects il was not UNI
like the Tichborne case which created
so much excitement in England u few
years ago, but il wa far more compli-
Gated and from a legal point of view
far more intrinsically interesting. Be
sides IA number of relatives, or people
who claimed to be relatives, from all
quarters of the globe, a woman APP
peared on the cen alleging herself to
be the dead millionaireis widow. IL
was a sort of f~ree-for-all scramble,
affording the California press endless
quantities of sensational matter. The
sympathy of the public was with the
little girl Florence. and the decision of
the court will give general satisfaction
to the people and at the same time
furnish the bar a notable precedent for
all cases involving illegitimacy of
birth.

procity, and, indeed, Il would appear
are already making 0vertures to us
with that end In view. II IL contended
by more than one modern astronomer
that the meteors which occasionally
run up against the earth are not, as has
been commonly supposed, the product
of some grand nebulxr jamboree, but
are really ~projectiles hurled at us by
the people Of Mars to attract our at
tention. In their vastly superior wis
dom and intelligence they have doubt
less made telescopes and things by
which they have watched us and gleand
a tolerably correct notion OF mundane
life. They are waiting ~anxiously for
the world to return their signals, and
as soon as the world discovers the pro-
cess a regular transportation service
will be only a question of time. Then
arises the question of reciprocity. Shall
the products of Mars be admitted free
or subjected to a prohibitive dutyY II
is to be hoped that the day and genera
ton when these things come to pass
will have its Blaine to cope with the
all important issue.

It is now nearly a week since Mr..

The polity Of the Methodist church
is peculiar. Its thousands of pastors
are stationed" by the bishops. The
plan has its admitted advantages which
a century Of experience has fully tested.
IL also entails hardship in individual
cases, but the remarkable loyalty of
the ministers in yielding to the com
mand of the bishops is a fact Of which
the membership Of the Methodist Epis-
copaI church is especially proud. When
account is taken of the army of minis
tiers who are stationed by the bishops
once every year, the cases of outspoken
resistance are astonishingly few.

Senator Morrills speech, or rather
essay, on the tariff last week, was
probably the last great effort of his
life. Mr.. Morrill,, as is vel Unknown,
was the father of the val tariff, and
although he is now well into his eighty
first year he is probably the best au-
thority on the tariff In the republican
party. The taiin is a sacred subject
to him, and any tampering with il
he considers little less than sacrilege.
Mr.. Morrill, read from manuscript with
great difficulty and was listened TO with
respectful attention by senator's OH
both sides of the house. As an argu-
ment his effort was labored TO a de-
gree. II was impossible for him 10 dis
Germ that the conditions of to-day are
not the conditions that prevailed i'm
1862. The same fault is characteristic
of most of the old republican war horses
when they get to talking about the
tariff.

The North american RerieD pub
fishes Speaker Reeds reply to the
famous criticism of IN. NJ. C." which
appeared in a recent number of that
magazine. Reed ~audaciously attempts
to prove that a majority present and a
majority acting are really one and the
same thing. 1t is a very specious ar-
gument at best. and the writer finally
begs the whole question by declaring
that 'the house of representatives, by
its capable and sensible transaction of
business, has attracted the approval of
the whole country" The dome of the
capitol building at Washington may
yet prove insufficient to accommodate
Reeds head.

According to Harold Frederick, the
accomplished but somewhat pessimis-
tic European correspondent OF the New
York Times, Bismarck is fast losing
caste and popularity. 1.-The scandal of
the old mans garrulity," he says, con
tinues to be an absorbing topic Of in
terest among the German editors, and
every day or two some paper hereto
fore obsequiously loyal to the ex-
chancellor formulates a new bull of
accommodation against him as no
longer a patriot" 1t is now said that
the Empress Frederick and her Sol
William have decided to answer the
attack now steadily proceeding from
Fri~edrichsruhe by publishing two mor
volumes of the great Emperor Frede-
rick's diary, (which will give an ex-
tremely repellant picture of Bismarck's
political chicanery and cold blooded
treachery to his supporters" Ger
tainly no more effective reply than this
could be made, and its appearance is
awaited with keen expectation. Not
the least curious phase of this step is
the fact that it will be taken by the
consent of William, who, at the time
covered by the diary, was entirely on
Bismarck's side. If Mr.. Frederlck's
forebodings prove true. it would have
been better for Bismarck's fame had
he not survived the late emperor. But
it will take a great deal to dislodge
him from the high estimation in which
he Is held by the world.

The liberal patronag c bestowed

The liberal patronag e bestowed
upon us by the public shows us
that they appreciate our efforts
to establish what has been
hitherto unknown in this city,
viz: A One Price Strictly Cash
Store. We claim, and are willing
to back our claim substantially
that we are selling goods cheaper
than any store in Butte. And
we should, for as we are doing a
strictly cash business we do not
have to make those who do pay
for what they buy, pay for those
who do not. Neither do we have
to employ collectors and pay
them a percentage of what they
collect, nor bookkeepers at large
salaries. All of these things
combined show our expenses to
be smaller percentage than any
ofour competitors in consequence
of which it stands to reason that
we can sell our goods at a smaller
profit than they can.

the bill was fraught with the greatest
danger 10 the future prosperity OF the
whole country. so that II menaced the
liberties oftbe people Of all the states.
Speaking bhe Southern states, Gray re
ferred 90 ttsimprovemen Of affairs there
since tho construction period. and asked
why should they be interfered with. He
particularly attacked the domicilary
clause, providing that supervisor may
make house TO house visitation 10 in
quire the voters names, nationality, etc.
Spooner interrupted him TO say the
domicilary clause had been struck out by
the committee.
Gray replied it was in the bill as re-
ported.
Hoar explained IL was in by mistake.
After considerable desultory discussion,
Morgan moved to have the bill reprinted.
No action was taken and Gray retained
the floor.

many of our lines being entirely
gone while others are broken.
We have, however, telegraphed
our eastern buyer and will have
new fresh goods in the beginning
of the week. In the meantime
the broken lines must go. Our
profits go with them, but we do
not object to that as we must not
carry any odd suits. We have
cut the price of these suits from
20 per cent. to IS per cent. and il
teat does not sell them we will
give up, but we think it will. In
these lines we have not only the
cheaper class of goods but some
we were selling at $1,000, s2s.oo
and $1,000. These goods arc
now cut to $500, $500 and
$1,000. They are just as good tc
you as though we had a dozen ot
them but not to us and we are
perfectly willing to sacrifice oul
profits in order to make room fol
the new goods to arrive.
