Alabama, with her inexhaustible
deposits of coal and iron, which can
be fioated by her marvellous system of
rivers to her seaport, Mobile, has the
deepest interest in the development
Of American shipping, and may be
congratulated on having two senators
of the brains of Morgan Pugh to rep
resent her in the efforts toward en-
couragement by national legislation.
Under the stimulus of this postal sub.
sidy, Mobile will not only soon have
several lines of steamers to foreign
ports but will become q great ship
building point Her position as the
nearest port of the Gulf to the centre
of production of the northwest, her
harbor secure from foes or storms,
and the ample channel the engineer
department is now completing, fix her
destiny as the chief commercial city
OF the future south. Her cheap iron,
splendid timber and superb climate
will assert themselves in attracting
to her water front vast shipbuilding
plants.-Town Topics. .

path of Sherman's reelection to the
senate. There is a plan to organize
the Farmers alliance strength against
him and to combine with it the demo,
Gratis disaffected on account OF the re-
nomination of Gov. Campbell, The
scheme is to induce the old greenbaok
element, of which there ia a considerable
survival in Ohio and which is all in the
Farmers alliance organization, to nomi-
nate q candidate OF democratic atfilia-
tions acceptable to Campbell's enemies.
The effort will then DO to throw enough
democratic and greenback votes for him
to defeat Campbell and still prevent Nc
Kinley receiving a majority; SO the
point can be made that he is only n plu-
rality governor. The man strength OF
the coalition, however, will be devoted
to the legislative districts, and its hope
would be to elect enough Farmers
alliance mon to hold the balance OF
power and prevent the election of any
republican to succeed Sherman"
This is all very pleasant reading for
those who like it, but Ohio will elect
Campbell governor and will elect a
democratic legislature which in turn
will elect a democratic United States
senator,

The Bottom of tho Sea,

The Bottom of the Sea-" a marine spec
tacle, adapted from the French by William
A. Brady. will be produced at Ming's opera
house for nm engagement limited to two
nights, July 80 and 81. Coming as it does
direct from it's New York and Boston pres
entations, the piece is to be mounted here
in exactly the same ma nner that character
lied its success in those cities. From all
accounts the scenic n mechanical effects
are really superb. It is, in fact, on realistic
scenery that the success of the play mainly
depends. The piece de resistance is the
scene showing tho bottom of the sea with
divers at work in the wreck of a sunken
ship. The battle between one of the divers
and a gigantic devil-fsh is very realistic.
The other scenes are the rescue in mid
ocean and the deck of the French man-of-
war.
Tue events center about the LAYING of a
West India cable by a young French cngin-
eer, assisted by an American engineer.
Both love the formers cousin, mud this
leads to trouble. A ~rascally Greek tries to
kill the French engineer at the bottom OF
the sea, and the American engineer is ar
rested for the murder. The supposed dead
man, however, turns up alive and saves the
accused man. The Greek is killed in at
tempting to escape, and all ends happily.

Londou's New Lizard.

The geological society has just receive d
specimens of a remarkable lizard. This
creature enjoys the nearly unique distinc-
ton among lizards of possessing poison
glands and Rrooved teeth to transmit the
poison when it bites; but, in spite of these
facts, opinions appear to differ as to
whether it really poisons its victims after
the fashion OF Il ysnomous serpent.
A few years ago lin 1892 Sir
John Lubbock presented q heloderm
to the geological society, the first that
had ever been exhibited alive by that go
ciety. The reptile bit and destroyed by its
bite some small animals which were placed
with it; but, O the other hand. in America
"a large and vigorous heloderm'' was al
lowed to bite a small kitten, which did not
suffer much from the encounter. 1t is well
known that some animals are exempt from

believe the ocean trip from Seattle to
Alaska will certainly become the most pop
ular of all American tours. It is a most
delightful journey. Aside from the pleas
ure of the ocean voyage. there are many
interesting things to be seen. The glaciers
are the largest in the world, and the most
picturesque, if l may believe several tour

glaciers of Switzerland. Sitka
is a small town of perhaps
one Thousand inhabitants, mostly half
breeds. The voyage carries the traveller
over a twelve days journey from Seattle
and return and includes all points of inter
est. I spent several DAYS in the coast cities
where l found business very quiet. The
towns have been built up IN advance of the
needs and it will be some time before they
will go ahead. Helena, on the contrary,

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.

Last evening at Tho Broadwater ! met
Ex-senator ii. A. w. Tabor, of Denver,
who during his brief term in the United
States senate was one of the most talked
of men in America. His rapid accumula-
tion Of a great fortune through fortunate
mining deals together with an originality
of manner and expression combined to give
him a very wide reputation. In late years
he has not been lost to public view though
we do not hear IA much of him az in time
gone by. He is reported to have lost
heavily in mining operations but is again
on the top wave. lie tells mo that he is
more heavily interested in mining than
ever and his operations extend over q wide
range Of territory. He is visiting Montana
in tho interest or a scheme which is now in
a fair way to give big returns for the IN
vestment. Together with several mining
men he is working out a new system for
getting out gold from the bed of the Jeffer-
son river near Three Forks. 1t Is
thus far an experiment., but the
senator says that the final success
or failure of tho plan will be determined
within ten days. More than this he could
not say, except that the indications were
very promising. No work is being done on
the big placer ground in Idaho, the pur-
chase of which created a great sensation in
the mining world.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-07-25

The famous ex-senator, contrary to the
popular impression of those who never met
him, is modest in manner and of a SEEM
ingly retiring nature. Though cordial and
pleasant he is not at all forward in advance
ing his views. He is the picture of health.
His cheeks have a ruddy glow as the result
of a two days exposure to the sun on the
Jefferson river. His mustache, which ID
quite az we'll known as that of Lieut.-Gov.
Jones, of New York. is not yet marked with
white, while his we'll set frame is evidence
of a strong physique.
The senator was dressed as modest as he
appears in conversation. He is interested
in theatrical matters and controls a circuit
in Colorado. the headquarters of which is
the Tabor Grand opera house. the most
magnificent place of amusement in Amer
lea. His remark that the opera house had
helped Denver very much in the way Of ad-
vertising the city, suggested once moro the
very great need of a grand opera house in
Helena. The senator will go back to the
Forks tomorrow and leave for Denver
afterward.

I enjoyed a pleasant chat with Francis
Murphy, the great temperance orator, h
will speak at Ming's tomorrow afternoon.
His hair and mustache have turned from
brown to white since I last saw him. but
his brain is as keen and his body is as
sturdy as ever. No one after a five min
utes' talk could fail to understand that he
carries a great warm heart always in SYM
pathy for the unfortunate. He has just a
pleasant touch of the brogue of the green
isle where he was born, and is decidedly in
teresting in conversation. MI. Murphy's
plan of temperance reform is not that of
legal restraint which exists only in theory.
His marvellous success in bringing men to the
blue ribbon ranks comes from his eloquent
and convincing appeals. He knows what
he ia talking about, for he has been there.
The opera house should be crowded to-
morrow afternoon, for no more entertain
ing speaker is now before the public.
