Tho Small Pay OF rrcacScrs.

People who arc in the habit of
grumblins about the excessive salaries
paid ministers may 10 surprised at
some figures concerning salaries paid
in the Philadelphia conference OF tho
Methodist Episcopal church. which
were read at the recent meeting of the
Me. hodist preachers of Philadelphia.
1t was stated that out of the 25G mem-
bers of the Philadelphia conference
there were. only ninety-cne who re-
ceive LOCO or more salary per year.
There are 1C5 who get less than 81, QUO,
and forty who get less than $COO, the
salaries Of some not exceeding $250.
The Philadelphia conference is one Of
the oldest III the Methodist Episcopal
church, and it embraces within its
limits many strong appointments. 1T
makes a better showing. probably,
than most OF the. other conferences. Ii
tile Methodist Episcopal church, which
is the largest Protestant denomination
in the country, andis becoming one of
the wealthiest, can do no better for its
preachers, what shall be said OF the.
painful poverty of the ministers OF
many of the smaller sects2 And what

n Triple.
II has been said by a leading critic that
an aroma Of gin punch pcrvades all of
Dickens novels. There was, by recent
accounts. a reason for this. According to
John HollinQshead, Dickens had n per-
sonal weakness for this connection, and
was an expert at compromising il, which
process Mr.. H~ollingshead thus describes /:
First of all the jug was produced-the
vat or The receptacle of the brew. Then
came a plate and knives, then the lemons,
the sugar basin, and then finally a large
table napkin. In the meantime, the
kettle on the hob had prepared the boil
ing water, and the bottle of distilled
liquor-an important factor, as the phrase
goes-was placed i'm the hands of the
master.
II shall be guilty Of no irreverence IL I
say at his point his eyes twinkled and
generally winked. The process of blend
ing was like a conjuring trick performed
by an accomplished professor. The mix

and n certain amount of demonstrative
pride, the jug was placed upon the table
and the napkin thrust into its mouth.

kin was withdrawn and five shillings and
costs was ready for convivial distribu-
tion." The nickname, "five %shillings IN
casts" IL may be added, was given TO the
punch by Mr.. H~ollingshead on account
OF its potency and the likelihood that
those who partook Of II would rave TO pay
that amount of fine to a police Magistrate

RAIhER AN ODD PLIGHT.

The right course for a newspaper to
pursue In the lottery business is TO re-
fuse the flaming advertisements sent
out by the lottery schemers. Failure
70 be guided by this rule has put our
esteemed contemporary, the Helena
Journal, in a position which, TO say
the least of il, is just n little bit EN-
barrassing.
A great many readers noticed the in
congruity which brought President
Harrison's vigorous anti-lottery mes
sage almost alongside a flaming lottery
advertisement in the columns of the
newspaper run by President Harrison's
son. The incident is made the most of
by the New York World, which points
out the fact that, while President Har-
rison vigorously denounces lotteries,
his son zealously solicits and pub
fishes lottery advertisements. 1t is
one of those cases where the two ends
of the white-house family do not ex-
actly jibe.

advertising several months ago. The

The excavations in a hill on the plain

in the famous battle. Several years ago
DIR. Schliemann made excavations at the
same place, but he met with no success
and renounced the work. The charred
bones were found at a depth of 80 feet,
neal the base of the hill. In addition to
remains. urn were also found, which, ac-
cording to q custom Of that time, were
buried empty. At a later date the ashes
were placed in them. The excavations
are to be continued and interesting re-
suits are expected.

AS TO CARTER.

Those of the republican newspapers
in Montana that are saying anything
about politics appear TO take offense mt
the slightest democratic utterance re-
garding Mr.. Carter's candidacy.
Yet what's the harm? The republi-
can organs were slow To say a word
about the Carter letter and they have
been even slower in whooping il up for
the candidate of General Warren's
choice. In fact we haven't yet come
across the first well-defned whoop in
response TO the name which the Gen
eral flashed on the republican press a
dozen days ago. We conclude there
fore that the STANDARD was right from
the start In saying that Silver Bow
county would let Helena out by seeing
TO II that Mr.. Carter is renominated in
the September convention and, mean
while, Mr.. Carriers offer to get out of
the way will silence the west-side re-
publican talk about the 'hoggishness"
of Helena. Whether there was a line
of sincerity In the congressman's letter
cannot be determined until the repub-
can state convention has met and ad-
journed. That he did a clever thing,
however, in writing it is already clear
enough.
II was admitted long ago that Mr..
Carter could have the nomination for
the asking. But he wanted more than
this, he wanted the nomination with
out eve so much rs the asking, he
proposed TO have it thrust upon him
and that is evidently what he is going

THE INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY.

The project to join the Old World
and the New by way of Behring straits
is pronounced by those who have in
vestigated IL to be not only perfectly
feasible, but not nearly so difficult as
may be imagined. Ex-Governor Gilpin
of Missouri, who is the chief mover in
the scheme, vers that the passage of
I,ehring straits is the only serious OBJ
stacle In the way, and that is not by no
means so serious rs ii seems. Atleast,
he says, it is not an impossible feat to
bridge them. The straits are only
forty-eight miles i'm width. with the
Diomede island nearly midway. The
island is large enough TO contain the
cities Of New York and Brooklyn. A
bridge of a little more than twenty
miles on either side of this island would
make the connection. The water has
a shallow, solid bottom. in no place
exceeding a depth of forty feet.
The warm water current, or the Pacific
gulf" stream, having a temperature of
20 degrees, passes through Behring
straits into Behring sea as through the
mouth of a funnel. Thus the passage
has a uniformly mild temperature all
the year round; the straits are always
open, icebergs are unknown, and there
are no mechanical obstacles to the con.
struction of the two bridges required.
The mountains Of America and Siberia

TO increase the fraternal relations of
the nations, and to promote peace and

Doomed To Death

From the Boulder Sentinel.
Helena people will soon find out that in
attempting to hog everything, will sooner
or later revert TO disaster and ruin. The
trouble il, Helena wants too much. Her
people work on the principle that she is n
city of 1900 or 100000 people, but instead
enumerators quote her as having about
1000, which the average disinter-
ested Montanian who visits her
portals occasionally thinks is a fair esti-
mate. She has doomed herself until there
is not another boom left in her. Her
board OF trade is harmless; her mining
bureau Is in n torpid condition; her cham
Der Of m has subsidized, and her
real estate is not wanted by anyone.
Times are quiet all over the state, and IL
q town holds her own for the next year il
will be doing well. The trouble is that
Helena has been doomed TO death, and
now she will have TO grow from this on
entirely upon her merits, and not by boom
as i'm days gone by.
