A SKLRMISH FOR POSITION

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The campaign in
New York this fall is skirmish for posi-
ton. The presidential campaign in 1892
will doubtless be settled in this state. and
neither party will leave any effort untried
to elect governor. In a sense, the struggle
is one of considerable more than local i'm
portance, for upon the result and upon the
degree of wisdom or uEwisdom the success
full party may show at Albany much will
certainly depend.
Z. ?. Flower remains, as | predicted long
ago, the leading democrat Poor Jones. who
has posed as weak rival of Gov. Hill isn't
and hasn't been thought of. Hill himself is
said by some to desire a denomination.
Welding the senatorship to some one whom
he can trust, but that is only matter for
speculation. Whatever Gov. Hills will
may prove to he, it will be carried out.
There was time at the beginning of the leg
islative session year ago, when it seemed
as if the Democratic party had taken the bit
in its teeth, the senators in particular re-
jecting his advice in selecting a caucus
nominee for president pro tenn. But the
sessions warfare had not far proceeded
when the rebels were glad to seek and fol-
low again the advice of the shrewd man in
the executive mansion. AT present he is
supreme in his party's councils.
Brooklyn furnishes possible candidate
for either party. Mayor Chaplin, with the
prestige of a magnificent and unbroken
record OF successes behind him, keen, cool,
ambitious, master Of the wisdom Of silence,
wants the nomination. OF his success there
seems very little possibility, but politics is
an uncertain game.
A more interesting personality is that of
Frederick A. Schroeder of the same city,
prominently mentioned on the republican
side. Schroeder is bluff and kindly old
gentleman, with white mustache and
goatee and a frank and cordial bearing,
He has been mayor of Brooklyn and has
represented the city at Albany. Probably
no one could poll a larger vote for his
party than he in the city where he is best
known.
1t will be funny if Schroeder is nomi-
mated. In the disastrous campaign when
Warner Miller fell outside the breastworks,
Mr. Schroeder openly criticised the republic
can high license platform. He believes in
beer. For that very reason many regard
him as the strongest candidate possible,
viii others, remembering him as one of
the disgruntled in 1898. strongly assert that
he would not do at all.
But Mr.. Platt has said that Schroeder
would be a strong candidate, This may,
and may not, mean something.
For my part, l expect to congratulate the
beaten party. If it is not too badly beaten.
Success this year will make those- upon
whom 1t smiles over-confdent in 1892 Be
sides, the initiative of action will be thrust
upon them. the responsibility of mistakes,
the certainty of displeasing many; while the
beaten ones will hustle all the better next
year for the beating.

SODA WATER AND WHISKY.

In every big newspaper building in New
York where any spare room is available for
rental on the ground floor, is a soda water
fountain. AT each of these, two or three or
four white jacketed young men are kept re-
markedly busy drawing ''sweetened wind"
all day and half the night. In each case the
fountain has an insignificant drug store
annex, but it's the soda water that pays the
bulk of the thousands and thousands of dol
lars rent. The newspaper buildings are not
exceptional. The whole down town and
almost exclusively masculine district is full
Of soda shops.
A liquor saloon was started not long ago
in enc OF the newspaper buildings and its
protector couldn't make it pay.
Isn't there something suggestive about
these factsl The truth is, the hard drinking
habits of generation ago are being consid-
erably modified for the bstter. There may
be no more total abstainers, possibly not so
many in proportion, and statutory prohibi-
ton hast yet throttled the demon rum" to
any great extent, yet drinking to excess is
certainly on the decrease. You can't argue
that it isn't from the still CHASTITY number of
saloons on nearly every block. It's a sight
dlsheartening enough at best, but good
deal more beer than whisky is sold 10 them
NO saloons are now without full assort-
ment of bottled mineral waters for those
who aren't taking anything stronger to-
day, thank you" Perhaps the wisdom of
swallowing SO much ice cold liquid may be
doubted, but at least it doesn't make d man
drunk.
Here in New York, where the liquor deal
ers are at present in open revolt against the
continued exactions of Tammany Hall and
tneir organ the Wine and Spirits Gazette,
Deathes out fire and slaughtering, the
number OF saloons is by no means increas-
ing as rapidly as the population. Yet high
heense and other measures to restrict the
number never looked more remote.

TOBACCO MUST GO.


Whenever l hear a nice-lookinp Young
woman avowlng herself q smoker Of cigar
cites or possibly cigars, | remember how
once happened to pass through q farm
Kitchen away in the backwoo late at
night after the family had gone to bed and
to be startled by the pungent odor of
tobacco, and by figure at the stove that
rustled and retreated at my approach. 1t
was the wife and mother OF the household
an old woman with neat dress and tidy
gray hair, who had stolen there for the
secret solace Of pipe. 1t would be hard to
say whether she or 1 was the most embar-
rassed at my discovery Of the habit she
wished to remain hidden.
In that section of the country consider
able number OF elderly women smoked their
clay or corncob pipes. but not O single
young woman or girl 1t was practice
long ago considered unladylike Now it
seems as if the practice were iu danger of
revival by young women aud girls. not in
the backW GODS, but in New York and even
in Boston, where l have come to know of a
public school teacher who smokes big
black cigars. That makes two of my per-
sonal acquaintance-bOth nice young women
and one rather priggish eVen-who have
got to cigars, while several are still in the
cigarette stage. A cigar dealer names q
certain brand the beau Sexen to catch
women's patronage. 1t is queer that this
should happen just at the time when so
many young men are giving up the habit
because 1t is Inconsistent with athletic feats.
On the whole, in spite of the perverse
young women, the outlook is very favor
able for an abandonment of the tobacco
habit.
Too optimistic? Not a bit Of it. Who
takes snuff MOVE Fifty years ago nearly
every one did. Don't you keep your grand
mothers snuff box as a sacred relic? Fifty
years ago three men chewed tobacco where
one does now. Why cannot smoking, too,
be banished If athleticism and astheticism,
with moral and sanitary agencies of one
sort aud another. join hands against it?
Tobacco hasn't for 100 years had 50 weak q
hold as now.
Anyhow if men think it right to smoke
and cnew tobacco, why shouldn't womeng
hope they won't, but is there any valid dis
tinctio p?

George Weaver and Mr.. Decovia unloaded
three mule teams at the Spotted Horse
mine and mill last Sunday. says the Argus.
Among the cargo was An electric light
plant, to be used for lighting the mine n
mill, and we learn that an electrician will
be sent from Helena to place the dynamo
in running order. This will be the first
plant of the kind in Fergus county. There
is also an invoice of an improved lot of
machinists' FOOLS to furnish a frst-class
machine shop for the convenience of the
mine. 1t il evident that Mr.. Meadow in
tends tn place the Spotted Horse mine
where it belongs, the foremost gold mine in
Montana. and there is no doubt but that if
the other mining enterprises that are idle
to-day were handled by men of Meadows
ability and experience, the camp would be-
numbered among the first in the state in
the production of precious metals.

Electricity in Mining.

r. s. Hunton, a prominent mining man
of Aspen, Colorado, speaking of the extent
to which electricity is being applied in the
working of mines. says: This force prom
ises to inuagurate a new era in the produc-
ton of silver, and to bring to the front
many districts that have hitherto been un-
important factors in the mineral output of
the country. Some of our high mountain
mines have been almost valueless because
of the difficulty and expense of transport
ing fuel to the places where it was needed.
This difficulty in the way Of profitable pro-
duction has been in a 6 great measure over
come by the substitution of electric for
steam power. and l know of a dozen mines
at least shat are operated by the new motor.
In most of the high camps there is an
abundance Of water, which can be applied
at a small cost to produce electricity. When
the motor is more fully developed, many
mining districts, now insignificant, will be
come very Important

A Combine for Business.

Some of the heaviest holders Of North
ern Pacific securities authorize a statement
that the bulk of the recent selling of the
preferred stock has been the liquidation of
10000 shares for German account. They
also stated that this liquidation was now
complete, and it is said that the interests
represented by Kidder, Peabody q Co., and
the Great Northern syndicate have been the
principal purchasers of the company's Sc
~cr~ities recently, and an amicable arrange
ment is expected to be made between the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific and
Burlington & Quincy companies in all bust
ness between Chicago and the Pacific
northwest.
