IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS.

All advices from eastern monetary
centers concur IN the opinion that the
worst Of the financial stringency is over
and that a steady and marked improve
ment i in business may be- looked for in
the near future. Henry Clews Il Co.,
who have taken a conservative view OF
the situation, say Of the outlook in
their last circular letter:
"This welcome change is due to sever
al causes. 1t is the first clear and de-
cided evidence that public confidence
has recovered from the shock impaired
by the crisis OF last fall. And in that
sense it means what many have sus-
pected, that the damage inflicted by the
panic was due more to fright than to
positive injury or widespread disaster.
The mischief was more in the nature OF
a arrangement of the machinery OF
finance than in any general unsound-
ness of business at large or any such ex-
tensive insolvency as the Baring's sus-
pension revealed among the European
credit establishments associated with
SOuUu kAlAc q lhOOASoOS' "AoAo
trouble lay in a comparatively temporary
over-creation of railroad issues and a
violent hitch in our currency arrange
ments, while the general trade of the
country was in a sound and wholesome
condition. Careful observers have all
along felt that, when the public at
largo came to understand these actual
limitations of the bearings of the crisis,
there would be a prompt and effective
recovery of confidence and a general
return to normal conditions. All symp-
toms unite to indicate that we have now
reached that turning point"
The public in a period of financial sick
ness is like a man in sickness-largely a
victim of imagination. Restore conf
dence and the patient gets we'll. All
that is needed now is for people to cease
croaking and 60 to work, revive enter
prises, push business and believe in the
country. The turn Of the tide is near
at hand.

ONE of the young %emperor's p%aternal
laws for the protection OF laborers n
Germany has now been in operation for
three months and its workings will be
observed with interest. 1t provides
that every person, male or female, 16
years of age or over and occupying the
position of laborer, servant or clerk,
whose wages amount to less that 1000
marks per annum, must have himself or
herself insured. The premium of this
insurance is paid in equal parts by the
employer and employee, and the govern
ment itself contributes to each policy.
The insurance organizations are state
institutions. In case of inability to
work Except from accidents or mishaps
for which special provision is made un-
der former laws by accident insurance
which is also compulsory the benefits
are: First class, 1l4.7o marks per an
mum; second class, 124.lO marks; third
class, 13l.15 marks, and fourth class,
l4O.55 marks. The age insurance gives
those 70 or over a pension amounting
annually in the first class to 1864 marks,
in the second class 134.6 marks, in the
third class 1928 marks and in the fourth
class 19l marks. 1t is calculated that
100000 persons will be subject to this
compulsory insurance law.

AFTER contemplating Sockless Jerry,
PETER, and his own undoing, Ex-senator
Ingalls, has concluded that the plow
furrow is the path to glory and has
turned farmer. This picture of the ex-
statesman at his bucolic task, however,
us drawn by the New York World, is not
calculated to warm the cookies of the
granger heart: :
u At present he Is engaged in planting pota-
toes. He does not shovel dirt or do other
.disagreeable things. He has two stout col
ored men to perform the manual labor. and
he stands on convenient boards and strickly
supervises the work. He spends several
hours each day on his farm and seems
greatly infatuated with it.
Before MI. ingalls, Is taken into the
Farmers Alliance he will have to let the
colored brother stand on the board and
do the digging himself.

The San Francisco Examiner well
comes President Harrison to California
but cannot resist the temptation to give
him a little rap on his narrow eastern
view Of things, in this fashion:
There ought to be a constitutional provi-
sion requiring every president to make a
tour of all the states of the union before
his Inauguration. Nothing else can insure
a truly national administration. President
Harrison, although he comes from what ie
commonly called a western state, has con
Quoted the government hitherto OF a north.
eastern basis. Not a single member of his
cabinet lives south of latitude thirty
eight degrees thirty minutes or west of
longitude ninety degrees twenty min
utes. Five-sixths of the area and
half the population of the country are en-
tirely unrepresented. If Mr.. Harrison's
present trip had come two years ago the
present administration would have been
more successful and more popular than ii
has been. But it is not too late now to
gain the benefits of a wider horizon.

foundy will the latter part
of this week. The enlarged works will be
located on the Kessler place. on the electric
line, where the latter crosses the Rimini
branches of the Northern Pacific and Mon

in the site, giving ample room for growth.
The design is to remove to the new location
as soon as possible, for with the foundry
and machine shops separated, as is now the
case, the company finds itself working at a
disadvantage.

RETIRING Mayor Bradford told some
plain truths in his valedictory. He was
handicapped by a council evenly divided
in politics, by a floating debt that pre-
vented expenditures for needed i'm
provements, and by lack of system and
method in all departments of the
municipal government. We shall never
have a we'll administered government
until the powers and duties Of the
various officers are more clearly under,
stood and defined, and more authority is
vested in executive heads of depart
ments.

CAPTAIN PLUMMER LEAVES.

He Will Have General Management OF the
Elkhorn and DE Lamar-Mining Notes.
Captain j. w. Plummer will leave to-day
for De Lamar where he will hereafter make
his headquarters for the general manage
ment of the de Lamar and Elkhorn mines
now the property of the Mining and
Financial Trust Syndicate of London. The
captains many friends in and o
Helena will learn of his departure with
much regret though wishing him every de-
gree of success in his responsible Office.
Certainly no manager in Montana is moe
widely or favorably known for qualities
which have combined to make n success of
many important enterprises with which he
has been connected. Mining has been Cap
tain Plummer's life work. His early ex-
perlence which proved of 80 great value III
after years, was i'll the copper and silver
mines OF Lake Superior. He was for some
time connected with the amous Silver Islet
OF tt'Ae the lake and afterwards held a
responsible position with the big properties
OF John Taylor q Sons, the great London
firm of mine owners. For many years be

superintendent of the big G ante Mountain
and there he made a lasting reputation
among mining men for his admirable man.
agement of the mine. When he took
charge a small twenty-stamp mill was in
operation. When he left a ninety-stamp
WAS running and a seventy-five-stamp
mill was under construction. The captain
took charge of the Elkhorn when the mine
was sold to the English company and has
remained i'll charge until his re-
cent promotion to the general man
apement of the Elkhorn and the DeLamar.
The Elkhorn's regular dividends are pretty
good evidence of capable management.
All indications point to a wonderful mine
in the De Lamar. The big purchase would
not have been made if Henry Bratnober did
not see returns. Captain Plummer will be
located at the scene of operations, but will
also have general charge of the Elkhorn
and will therefore frequently visit Mon
tana.
No better appointment for superintend-
emit of the Elkhorn could have been made
than Charles A. Nelson, who for some time
has been Captain Plummer's assistant. Mr..
Nelson is a young man, but his experience
with Montana mines and his reputation
among mining men for unusual ability and
strict integrity is sufficient evidence that
the Elkhorn will be we'll cared for under
his active charge.
