HE MAY COME BACK.

The Butte Inter Mountain has some

Quigg ranks as a staff correspondent of
the New York Tribune. We do not

tain to raise a question rs To the gen
tleman's editorial status.
We have our Butte contemporaries
statement that Mr.. Qnigg is to resume
the editorial management of the Hell

that, IL he returns to Montana, the

These Helena ward bosses picked q

imagine that he will return to the
Journal with a part of the ownership
Of that newspaper divided between
Mr.. II. d. Harrison and the eastern
capitalists on whom the presidents son
has unloaded larger or smaller shares
of its stock. As we understand IL, Mr.
Harrison has a very large company OF
partners in his Helena newspaper bust,

However. all this Is of small account
The ownership of the Journal lately
occasioned considerable comment in
the columns of the Butte republican
organ. This never has been an affair

powosRly ON The FORCE BILL.

A man of the honesty and force Of
character Of Grand Master Workman
Powderly finds IL impossible at times to
maintain a position of neutrality in
politics. much as such neutrality in an
Office like Mr.. Powderly's is theoretic-
ally advisable. IL is significant that
when Mr.. Powderly does feel impelled
TO depart from neutrality and assert
his convictions on political questions
he finds himself i'm line with the demo-
cratic party. There is SO little Of the
demagogue i'm him. and 80 much of sim
cerity of purpose and soundness of
judgment, that when the grand master
workman takes occasion to declare
himself on any issue his utterances
carry great weight.
On two occasions recently the great
labor leader has spoken on things polit-
ical. First he announced that he was
~unalterably opposed to the continue
ton Of Quayism, and earnestly hoped
that il would be crushed by the elec,
ton Of Pattison, the democratic candi-
date for governor of Pennsylvania.
More recently still he has taken u posi-.
tion on the force bill-the only position
that a man like Powderly could take.
Mr.. Powderly says: A very appropri-
ate title for the bill would be a law to
place the control of its wi election in
the hands of the United States con-
gress and to prevent the people from
interfering too much in that little
matter" Proceeding ON this line
Mr.. Powderly points out the
fact that there Is no demand
on the part Of the people for this spe-
cies of legislation and that its inception
can be traced TO the Vaccinations Of the
politicians who hoped to escape the just
censure Of public opinion and its nat
ural results by the employment of such
agencies to control elections. As to

HELENA AN ISSUE.

The Helena Herald insists that
Lewis and Clarke county has no candi-
date for congress this year and "will
not have one, IL the people OF the
county consider her future interest, i'm
either party"
The Herald in Helena has been en-
tirely frank in this business ever since
the letter Of Mr.. Carriers was given to
the public. Probably Mr.. Carter him
self was quite sincere in broadly init
mating that one Of the reasOns for his
proposed withdrawal rests on the fact
OF his residence in Helena. That city
has n very important fight ahead of it.
The state will o o select a permanent
capital and the city i'm which the
Herald lives has been sorely EN-
barrassed ever since the Butte Inter
Mountain invented the unsavOry
phrase which points to Helena's hog
gishness."
In the city Of Helena the interests
involved I'm the capital question are
uppermost. IL is our opinion that,
Carter or no Carter. the capital Of Mon
tana will surely come to the west side,
at the same time one can see that
Helena will be slightly handicapped by
keeping all the Offices for her own
people. It's no wonder that the tenn
porary capital is willing and anxious
withal TO unload.
The Inter Mountain tries hard to
help Helena out. IL is not saying rs
much az IL used to say about Helena
'hoggishness." IL IL willing to incur
any risk in order that Carter may be
saved, and IL makes the clumsy propO-
sition that Helena will not be the
issue Mt the coming battle at the polls"
We characterize this as clumsy because
IL cannot be made to it TO the remark
made by the Inter Mountain that the
STANDARD must include the capital
question among the issues to come ur
this year. The Inter Mountain said
this only fifteen days ago.
What will our Butte contemporary
do with its conflicting declarations
How does IL happen that the capital
issue has SO suddenly dropped out OF

full is the Butte organ to Helena by
saying that the candidacy of Carter
does not harm the town. in the face OF
the fact that Mr.. Carter himself and
the Helena Herald admit that the pres
sence of a Helena man in the field, a,
candidate for either party. is harmful
In most newspapers this contradic
tory chatter would be deemed astound
ing.

There will go into force in the state
of New York in September a law de-
signed to do away with the juvenile
smoking habit. II reads: mo child
actually or apparently under 10 years
shall smoke or in any way use a cigar
or tobacco in any form whatsoever in
any public street, place or resort"
This is drastic enough, but it's a
question whether il will not stimulate

lions with the weed behind barns and
other secret places. However. with
the police threatening them in public

Something appears to be wrong with
Minister Miner, the representative of
the United States in Guatemala. since
hostilities broke out between Guate-
mala and San Salvador communication
has been uninterrupted between the
ministers of every other country repre-
sented in the chief city of Guatemala
and their respective governments, but
nothing has been heard from Miner,
though numerous notes of inquiry have
been sent. II will be remembered that
not long ago MINERS int%ermeddling
with South American affairs resulted
in n formal complaint to Washington,
and IL is probable that the Guatemalan
government is 'queering" him by pre-
venting his access to the wires. At
any rate Miner is not showing up very
brilliantly rs a diplOmatist and he
might rs well come home and give
