Unhappy Frisco.

Ever since President Harrison left US
this town has been undergoing the panRs
which always follow over-indulgence in
any direction. Many gentlemen who but
a few days ago were going about in fine
uniforms, proudly erect and blandly smil-
ing, have crawled out of their padded coats,
dropped their swords, resumed their native
littleness, and are snarling at one another.
The pioneers nave adopted resolutions de-
claring themselves insulted by the few OPP
portunities given them to grovel conspicu-
ously at Mr.. Harrison's feet, and the work
ingman, who had no part at all in the
blowout, except to look on and cheer, are
inquiring in a low, hoarse tone whether or
not the president who may be a
candidate for re-election) thinks la
Dor dignitied. The wise men are
glowing yet with rage over the CON
tempt shown for native wines at the grand
banquet. and the newspapers. which nearly
all weltered in simple republican obsequi-
usness to rank for two whole weeks-tbere-
by in the end making themselves and and q
considerable minority of the public unwell

of San Francisco do that now to a man,

The President as an Orator.

Those who are disposed to class oratory
among the lost arts must reconsider that

varied, full of tact, and expressing his views
c%ourteously, and the whole country reads
in surprise. and a great many worthy peo-
pie say that here is a great man who has
been somehow concealed under a visionary
hat, but who will be henceforth estimated
at his true value, and undoubtedly renom-
mated and reelected to the presidency by
the acclamatiou of his party. If oratory
can SO radically change the general i'm
preston in regard to the president, it is
certainly not a lost art. On the contrary,
it seems to confirm the wisdom of the say
ing that in a country of parliamentary
government successful statesmen must be
great orators. 1t is, however, true that
that none of the presidents except Lincoln
have been especially disguinished as ora
tors, while two of the greatest American
orators, Webster and Clay. sought the
prize in vain. President Harrison's grand
father was preferred as a candidate to Hen

BUTTE LEADS.

IN h4ttA
good city of Butte as a hygenic resort
might fairly be set down as a stupen-
dous humorist, a wit of the first water.
With his inventive faculty, he might lay
claim to the position of end man in a
choice aggregation of minstrel talent, or
draw a big salary from Prince Russell
B. for furnishing funny items ON the
Blame boom to the illustrated paper OF
the son of his father. Truth to tell,
the sanitary condition of the city across
the range is not at present a thing to
boast of. Its streets are-well-untldy.
In winter, the citizens do not use boats
to convey them from II side of a thor
ouchfare to another, but their self-de-
NAL is purely due to their strong regard
for appearances and for the tenderfoot.
In the days and nights of fog and
smoke. which occur once or twice every
year. mistakes in the navigation OF a
latch-key are easily accounted for, and
the soul of the honest citizen is relieved
from much prevarication. Its by-ways
and alleys suggest to the unwary trav-
eler strong "reminiscences of the German
city Of Cologne, and Cologne, as every
one knows, is famous for more scents
than one or fifty. Altogether, Butte
is scarcely a model of a resident city.
But to the citizens of Helena, who
are thoroughly impressed with the de-
merits of the Smoky city, we wish to
point out most emphatically that Butte
intends to leave us far behind in the
race for sanitary supremacy. Ac-
cording to a reported CONVEX
sation in yesterdays Daily Miner,
the health officer of the city has
donned his war paint, and the fur is 60
ing to fly unless reform comes and
comes at once. The new crusade is on.
aTha people Of Butte. declares DR..
Robarts, swami a clean town, and they
shall have it." Main street is to be the
scene of the earliest operations. A
house to house inspection is to be insti-
tuted on the principal street, and from
there it is to extend to every alley
in the town. Every weak point will thus
be discovered. Behind the exploring
sanitary officer is to come the dread fig
ure of the sanitary policeman with his
bundle of notices for every house where
unsanitary conditions prevail. Butte is
already in possession of a garbage Gre
matory, and, with a supply of scavenger
carts for use in the near future, the
health officer hopes to made this specia
department of his work not only bene
fetal but profitable. He asserts tina
the crematory product is the fines
kind of manure, containing, as it does,
rich phosphate wonderfully nutritive il
its forcing properties. 1t cannot b.
long, he believes, until the rancher Q
the Deer Lodge valley wakes up to tn
value of the product of the refuse Q
Butte city streets. What is Helena &C
ing to do about it? Are we to have
during the summer, a continuance c
loud complaints about dumping ground
within the city limits and the DANCE
they constitute to health? Or are tn
citizens ready to take united actor
and, either through their W labors {
the enforcement of city ordinances, con
pei the Inauguration Of a more credi
able state of affairs.

ACTIVITY AT CHICAGO.
A Number of Good Deals Closed There
During the Past Week.

A Number of Good Deals Closed There
During the Past Week.
Chicago, Oct 9.-tSpecidl. l-Rogers, Brown
& Merwin say: Activity in the Chicago pig
metal market still continues. During the
past week a number of additional round
deals have been closed, these being divided
mainly between Northern and Southern
coke irons On the latter, deliveries in a
number of cases have been we'll scattered
and close figures made. While there has
been no change in the outlook, or the gen.
eral range Of prices asked, many of the
larger Southern companies concede that the
market is likely to remain on about the
present basis during the rest of the year.
Some companies still look for an advance
of 30 to 81 per ton this year, with further
stiffening after January, but the num-
Der of these is small. On the other
hand prices which have been in force
maintained. Some additional transactions
have occurred in Lake Superior and South
ern charcoals. The former $I7 so cash, Chi
cago, has been shaded. 1t is claimed. how
ever, by furnaces which have sold below
this, that they are now holding firmly at the
price named. Other brands which enjoy
more extended reputation are well sold
ahead and are holding at SIS 80, Chicago, as
minimum.
An encouraging feature is the fact that
several round orders for cars have been
placed by leading railway lines, and other
deals are now pending. 1t Is conceded on
all hands that the railroad companies must
be heavy buyers of rolling stock. Such
lines as place contracts during the present
autu-cn will unQuestionably save money
over prices which will prevail during the
first half of the next year.

WHEAT STRONG AGAIN.

1t Holds Firmly an Advance TO Over S1OO-
Corn Strong and Higher, but Hog
Products Weak and Lower-Oats Neg
lected and Steady.
CHICAGO-Wheat started out little
"wobbly" this morning, selling on both sides
of last nights closing figures round the
opening, then became strong, advancing
about nc, and holding nearly all of it to the
close.
December opened at 9s1sc, sold to 9219e,
broke to 991Ic, then advanced with imma-
terial reactions to $l.00%. In the afternoon
it eased Off some on realizing sales, going to
Sl00; but on stronger English cables the
price reacted to $L0O% and closed steady at
$100L.
Corn was stronger and higher largely in
sympathy with wheat, but partly on ac-
however. October opened at 5212c, touched
521s sold to 521sc without material recession,
but weakened near the end OF the session
and closed at 531sc, against 527sc at the close
yesterday.
Oats neglected and steady.
Hog products were weak and lower on free
selling by packers and liquidation by De-
cember longs. The close shows O los OF 59
15c in the price of pork, 21150jc in lard, and
212c IN ribs, except October, which is un-
changed.
The leading futures ranged as follows. as cor

ALMOST EVENLY BALANCED.
BUT THE BULLS HAVE SLIGHTLY THE
ADVANTAGE OVER BEARS.

A Fairly Steady Market in stocks-Large
Additions to the Outstanding Short In
terest-The Losses and Recovery of
Hooking Valley Are the Features.
NEW YORK, Oct. 9-The stock market to-
day was practically repetition of the last
two days, and in the main O steady contest
between the bear and bull factions among
the local and professional trading element,
and after mild fluctuations in both direc-
tions the advantage rests with the latter
party. The operations of the last few days
have undoubtedly added largely to the out
standing short interest in the market.
The opening was heavy and lower. Atchi-
son bore the brunt of the early pressure, but
the entire list moved up slowly, with here
and there more marked advances. Toward
2 P. NJ the highest figures of the day were at
tanned when q rumor of new issue of stock
on the Hooking Valley caused drop of
nearly 1h per cent in that stock, to which
the rest OF the list responded and fractional
concessions followed all along the line
Hooking Valley, however, recovered all OF
the loss and the general list steadied, then
closed dull but steady.
The dealings in railroad bonds were bar
rem OF special features, but the tone re-
manned firm without change of note among
the leading active shares. The total sales
were only 1894 900. The highest and closing

NO CHANGE IN FIGURES
In the Cincinnati Market Although the De-
mand Remains Normal

C1ECINSATI, Oct. 9.-[SpecidLl - Rogers,
Brown Co. say: No important changes
have occurred iH the market during the
past week Demand has been normal, and
it has been met without any change in
figures. Certain Southern furnaces are re-
ported to have booked very large contracts
for next years deliveries at a slight ad-
vance on current figures. Generally the
trade has been willing to make such sales.
The conservative view is that prices can un-
der no Circumstances go lower than they
now are, while all general indications point
10 an improved demnnd next year, which
must inevitably mean improved prices.
Productive capacity is now fully employed
both North and South, and any considerable
increase IN consumption would quickly
