A PLAIN Duly.

Politics is at the bottom ofal the trou-
BILE over delayed legislation at Helena.
If the factions there could put politi-
cal consideration aside. ten days would
witness the passage of all the legisla-
ton for which there is pressing need.
But this if is all there is at stake.

1t is astonishing that, out of their

working force that can leave politics
alone long enough to transact non

the plans for compromise that have

with coal. Its destiny is Anaconda.
1t Is the only supply of coal now
known to be on the line of the Utah Il
Northern, between Camas and this city.
That is not a cheering prospect for a
smelling plant which requires thirty
eight full car loads Of coal for each
twenty four hours. During most of the
current month the supply of coal for
the works i'm this city has been danger
ously scant. The truth Is that the
works have not beer run to full capac-
ity for weeks, and failure of coal is the
cause of it. Work has been shifted
from concentration to smelter and bac
again, SO that a general shutdown
might be avoided if possible. Three
trains with coal arrived ia town yester-
day morning, but these were followed

from the situation. Some people will

reflection that the providence which
