IT is SIMPLE ENOUGH.

IL the management of the Northern
Pacific railroad proposes to put Butte
on its through line. there appears tn be
no reason for long delay about il. The
short line route is ready, and all that
Butte wants now is the train. on the
best OF authority the STANDARD an
n0unced nor than a week ago that
Mr.. Oakes is friendly 10 Butte in
this business, in fact he sent a telegram
TO that city saying that he supposed
one of the through trains was already
scheduled for daily runs between Boze.
man and Garrison by way of the short
line.
Representatives of the It. Paul office
of the Northern Pacific are now within
reach of the Butte shippers. II does
not appear that the Silver Bow people
have any special plea to make, on the
other hand, the railroad has n very sim.
pie business proposition to decide. Here
is Butte, a center of population and
of traffic. 1t has its vast volume of
freight TO offer and il has competing
routes al command. Butte is not
thrusting its business on the Northern
Pacific people by any means. There
was a time when the city was wholly
at the mercy of the railroad but the
time is no more. AS we understand il.
Butte wants decent facilities for pas
senger service and il is prepared To say
that the railroad that will not carry its
passengers by a comfortable and expe-
ditious time card shall not haul its
freight. IL appears. therefore. that the
gentlemen to whose charge the man
agement of the new short line is com
mitted have a very simple problem 10
solve. What Butte asks is fairness
rather than favors-and we infer that
this is easy to get.
There is a string of unpublished Cos
sip current regarding the new short
line and the railroad company's fail
ure to operate il on a satisfactory
plan. The whispered story is that the
new road is faulty in construction and
that, in its present condition, il is not

A Cincinnati dispatch to the Chicago
Times gives an interview with a prom
inent wholesale merchant of Charles
ton, =. C., regarding the federal election
bill. lie says the people of the North
have no idea of the intense feeling that
exists among all classes I'm the South
owe the proposed measure. "There is
no disposition to talk about it or to
make threats, but the passage of the
bill will be the signal for the creation
of the EXTREMIST bitterness, a feeling
that will undo all that the years of
peace have accomplished, and that will
find manifestation in action. First of
all every northern product as far as
possible will be boycotted." This man
may overestimate the intensity of the
feeling and its results should the obnox-
ious measures become a law, but il is
certain that the South feels grievously
hurt and insulted. believing that the
republican congress is r%eopening the
old sore which time had nearly healed
and obliterated.

A WRONG IMPRESSION.

IL is commonly supposed that ac-
complished and gentlemanly highway
men have no existence outside of
novels, but "A case in real life has come
To light in California. The editor of
the Humboldt Times having been held
up aud robbed. took occasion TO men
tion his loss in his local columns.
%whereupon the robber wrote a com
%munication of several pages couched in
the choicest language, assuring the edi-
tor that il he would pledge his word
that he was seriously embarrassed by
the trifle he was relieved of. he, the
robber, would promptly refund the sum.
The highwayman also spurns the edi-
tors insinuation that he is a drunkard
and a tough cuss generally.
Il cannot understand" he says, "the
sentiment which processes to believe
that criminals are invariably lushers
and sensualists of the grossest kind.
In my experience, both on this coast
and i'm the East. | have not found such
To be the case"
Here is a criminal who takes a proper
pride in his profession, and is quick To
defend il against the aspersions of the
ignorant and ~preiudiced. To be sure

THE TROUBLE IN BUTTE.

Nothing happened yesterday toward
the restoration of amicable feeling in
the office of the Butte Miner. II was
given out yesterday that President
Plank of the international Union tele-
graphed from Indianapolis that he
would visit Butte. lie Is rated To be a
conservative, fair-minded man and he
is serving, we believe, his second term
as the Unions chief executive officer.
IL will be for Mr.. Plank to
take the whole situation under
candid review and, as we understand
IL, his decision will be final and binding
on members of the typographical
union.
The situation presents novel features.
The STANDARD does not o recall a
single instance in which, for auses
like those existing in Butte, a news
paper has been brought 10 absolute
suspension. That condition has not,
within our knowledge, any precedent
in recent American newspaper expert
enc Indeed, the situation mt the
Miner Office is now a lockout rather
than "A strike, owing To the position
which the owner of the property has
deemed il proper to take.
IL is not becoming that any contem-
porary of the Miner should as
sumo ut this time To pass judg-
ment on the merits of the issue
involving the newspaper and its en-
ployes, since the matter in difference Is
TO DE submitted TO arbitration. The
situation certainly is deplorable on
many accounts. An outsider would
naturally assume that the parties to
the quarrel might he brought together
ON the basis of an adjustment entirely
honorable to all concerned: however,
the case may have its peculiar phases
with which people outside the office of
the Miner are not acquainted. In any
case we assume that. IL the suspension
is continued until Mr.. Plank arrives,
that gentleman will find a situation for
which his experience will furnish no
exact precedent.

A bigger Man" Than Boss Quay.

From the Philadelphia Record.
IL will he observed that there Is one citi-
zen who is a bigger nan in Pennsylvania
politics than Boss Quay, and his name is
Mr.. Russell Harrison. Notwithstanding
the firm confidence Of Mr.. Quay that Mr..
Robert Laughlin would be appointed as
sistant United States treasurer in Phila-
delphia, the ''originai Harrison man" has
obtained the position. So confident, in
deed, was Boss Quay that Mr.. Laughlin
would be given the place that he had al
ready begun, according to his custom, to
apportion the minor appointments among
his henchmen. Pennsylvanians who may
desire a powerful friend and advocate at

BETTER work OR RESIGN.

Hope deferred maketh the heart

tur,es ago when the state
ment was first made. For fifteen
years the people Of this section of the
country have been waiting hoping for
the forfeiture of the Northern Pacific

plished they are no better off than
before. OF course the secretary OF the
Interior will eventually promulgate q
set of rules governing the entries and
purchase of these lands, but when ne
will do SO is not at all certain. II
would seem that he has had abundant
tine already but though the dispatches

lie done, the matter remains unat

There are possibilities ofa free coin
nge bill now on account of the strin-
gency of money, that did not exist a
short time ago. There is no doubt but
what large number of conservative
men in both houses of congress-, who
last summer opposed free coinage will
feel that the demand for more money
must he met by some kind of legisla-
tion, and the only way out will be to
pass free-coinage measure, or at least
to put through the Taylor proposition
to purchase the silver now on the
market Some of the best financiers
in congress are considerably worried
over the situation, and look for some
thing to develop within the next four
or five days, which will make legisla-
tion of some kind necessary. If this
contingency arises it will, of course, set
aside the consideration of the election
bill, and probably result in its post
ponement and defeat.

of the proposed city would commence
at the northwestern corner of Multi

to the middle of the Columbia river,
thence west down the center of the
Columbia to the mouth of the Villa

point five miles west of the present

A USELESS CHANGE.

II is not likely the present passenger
schedule on the Union Pacific Will
continue in force for any period OF time,
nor is it proper that it should. There
IL no reason or business judgement in
running two passenger trains a quarter
or an hour apart, and over that portion
Of the road where the traffic is the
greatest, during the night; yet this Is
what is being done. The regular
passenger is run in two sections, and
the local passengers between Pendleton
and Portland can either travel by
night or throw themselves on the
tender and uncertain merdes of the
unreliable freight trains We under
stood the day passenger had been
pulled Off to utilize the motive power
on the freights, but as two trains are
iun anyway we can see no good aris-
ing from the change.

car loads of it, and in conversation
with the foreman, he told us he had
