IAE RAILROADS. RAIEs

To all appearances the Montana
Union is n of the busiest roads in
the country. Between this city and
Butte, ore trains are moving in con.
slant procession. In ordinary times
several train loads of timber are moved
daily from Garrison to Butte for use
in the mines and the lumber markets
there. The road has its full share of
passenger traffic. and the extent of its
business of this sort is a source of con.
slant surprise TO patrons of the road.
Its business in the distribution of coal
and other supplies from Silver Bow To
than the public supposes it to be, while
the traffic in hauling matte out of
Anaconda is an important item-in
short the road does n surprisingly large
business.
Yet IL appears from the statement
given yesterday To the STANDARD by
General Manager Baldwin that the
Montana Union was a loser last year
Ia the amount of $4,000. Naturally
enough, the showing is not satisfac-
tory, and the management is trying To
get the road on a paying basis. To-
ward this end Mr.. Baldwin has mott.
fled h smelling works in this city.
that, hereafter. the works must be re.
sponsible Tor the cost of service i'm and
about the freight yards, this including
all switch charges and the like. AS we
understand IL the smelling company
does not approve of the plan, which
was TO have become operative at once.
The manager of railroad traffic for the
Anaconda company was not in this city
Yesterday. and nobody else who is famii.
lar with the situation was disposed to
talk about IL.
We infer from the remark of General
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-06-17

Manager Baldwin that the losses of the
Montana Uuion are c~hargeable wholly
to the Anaconda business. IL this is a
correct statement Of the situation the
business of the Montana Union in con
nection with the Northern Pacific and
the Union Pacific must have un-
dergone radical changes recently,
these two lines which have persistently
wronged the Montana Union since the
day the Northern Pacific began bust
ness at Garrison, refusing it fair recog'
milton and robbing ii of its fair share
of earnings.

The compilation of the census re-
turns has begun and superintendent
Porter has run against a snag first
thing. The law required that the pop
ulation schedule should show the num-
Der of negroes, mulattoes, q%uadroons
and octoroons," but il is found impos-
sible to conform to this classification
owing to the i%nsuperable difficulties
with which the enumerators were con
fronted in obtaining the requisite in
formation. Mr.. Porter will summarize
all colored people with white blood in
their veins under the head of mixed"
and if he would put the same title over
the whole report he would hit il about
right.

She sized Him lp.

A citizen who was passing by a house
on Indiana street the other day, say the
Detroit Free Press, observed smoke coming
through the roof near the chimney, and
he rushed up to the door and knocked an
alarm.
"What do you want? asked the
as she appeared.
madame. dom get excited, but must
tell you"
"Oh. I shan't get excited" she inter
rupted. | always keep this handy by"
And she luggcd out a big revolver which
hung on one Of the pegs of the hat-rack.
and continued:
"No clocks wanted. No rugs wanted.
No books wanted. No sewing machines
wanted. No old victuals nor old clothes
To give away. Travel"
And hp had To travel to n position out
side the gate and inform her that the roof
was on fire.

The senate and house will doubtless
find il inexpedient to hold no evening
sessions this evening. John l.. sullivan
is billed to give an exhibition i'm Wash
ington tonight, and ii is fair to assume
that large delegations OF congressman
will he present, not necessarily from
any interest in the art of pugilism in
the abstract, but to see sullivan give a
practical demonstration of what he will
do when he gets To congress himself.
speaker Reed should be there to observe
what's in store for him.

Why swell Partisan Girls Can no Longer
Find Rich Husbands.
Ii is becoming more and more hard for
Faubourg st. German mothers to find
rich husbands for their daughters, writes
a Paris correspondent. As there is no
court here, the connection which mar
riage with one of these young ladies
might open to a nouvel enrich would be
of small value. She could not endow her
husband with n title, and her pretensions
To be better than his family would be un-
endurable. As her forefathers and fore
mothers all married for money, she has
not the recommendation of beauty.
The sons Of the noble families, as
such, are not nearly So much priced as
they used To be by the magnets of the
French Jewry. Still they can pick up i'm
all directions the daughters of men who
have made money In business. For in
stance, IA match is contemplated between
the heiress of a manufacturers of corsets
and a d~escendent of Marshal de Grouchy,
who was n MAJ Of ancient family. Her
father is glad To buy a title for her, and
she is delighted at the prospect of hearing

senator Wolcott of Colorado proposes
10 do for beer what other legislators
have done for butter. lie is the father
of a bill requiring all beer made by
special processes otherwise than by the
simple methods with hops, malt and
water. to be labeled "adulterated beer"
This is aimed at the brewers who seek
to avoid the time necessary to the brew
ing of a good article, by the use ofdrugs
and chemicals. Senator Wolcott knows
what his constituents want and pro-
poses to get il for them.

give the Prospecior ~ Chance.

From The Idaho city World.
1t has been suggested that il would be a
good idea for our next legislature To enact
IA law allowing prospectors To pass over
toll roads. aud trails free. This would be
the means, in a very short time, OF bene-
fitting those who have toll roads, ETC., as
when a new section Is opened, travel in
creases. There are many good reasons
for thus favoring the prospector-reasons
that are apparent To every one-aad need
not be enumerated.
