Mr.. ABBOTT, the new Canadian pre-
mier, evidently is not the fearless, reso-
lutte leader that his predecessor was. He
shows his first indication of weakness by
rushing into print with an elaborate ex-
PLANTATION and apology fer signing the
annexation manifesto in 1S49. He adj
mits the impeachment but protests that
he got his punishment at the time by
being reduced from an ensign in the
militia to a private in the ranks. The
late Sir John never would have condo
seconded to break silence with SO trivial
an apology. There are stormy times
ahead for the new premier.

The treasury statement issued June
18th shows a deficit Of about 100000.
The treasury officials explain that the
disbursements for the remainder of the
month will be light, and that on June
80, the end of the fiscal year, there may
be a small surplus. Even that showing
is not very pleasant when it is remem-
bered that there was a surplus of a hun
dred millions in the treasury when the
present administration came into power,
and that it has all disappeared. The
first six months of the new fiscal year,
beginning July LIST, will show more
clearly the extra agance Of the billion
congress, whose appropriations will then
begin to be drawn. The deficits will
steadily grow during the next year, and
it is almost certain that the next con
gress, which meets in December, will
have to do something to relieve the gov
ernment's necessities. Experts who have
studied the figures carefully anticipate
a deficiency of ~S50,o00,00O one year
hence.

AFTER a period of financial stringency
and depression realty is the last thing to
recover and show signs of activity. All
over the United States to-day the real
estate market IS at a stand still, with
the exception of here and there a section
that is being newly opened to settle
ment. We believe the coming year will
see a period of great activity and ad-
yancement in real estate all over Mon
tana. The mining industry never had a
more promising outlook, and that with
the cattle and sheep business will bring
large sums of ready money to the state
within the next few months. Millions
of dollars will be IN u banks next win
ter awaiting the opening Of spring for
re-investment. This money will flow
into every channel, and real estate
which has for its foundation the pro
ducts of our mines and ranges, will in
wife much of this surplus capital. Moth
ing is more certain than the greatest
prosperity for orr people during the
next two years. There is no better time
for those having capital TO buy real
estate than right now.

ARE we devotlng ourselves too entirely
to trade, commerce and manufacturing,
and permitting to languish the industry
that sustalns and nourishes all? Such
is the startling question propounded by
the Hon. James x. Reeve, the eminent
agricultural writer, In Belford's Maya
zine for July. Mr.. Reeve answers his
own question in the affirmative. He
shows that, Notwithstanding our
increase in population, there has been a
steady decrease in the productions OF
our farms, and that in the past four
years 100000 acres have been with
drawn from cultivation. Since 1886
there has been no permanent increase
OF the wheat crop; in fact, the yield OF
that year has never since been equaled
There has been a decrease in the yield
per acre in all crops, and Mr.. Reeve be-
ileVes that VIZ are steadily drifting
towards the condition of the over
crowded nations of Europe. His remedy

The Minneapolis Tribune is making
an energetic fight to secure the republi-
can national convention in that city in
1892. 1t makes a good showing of the
city's ability to and feed a multi
tude, and the replies it is getting from
the press of the country in answer tc
it's inquiries indicate a strong sentiment
in favor of the Minnesota metropolis.
The northwest is a section of the coun-
try that the republicans will need tc
look to carefully next year, and it would
undoubtedly be good politics to hold the
convention in a state that threatens to
break from it's old moorings. The re-
publicans of the further northwest will,
we think, very generally vote for Mime
apolis.

TIE Denver Republican gives ar in.
teresting account OF the artesian wells
in the San Luis valley of Colorado.
Although the valley is nearly 1900 feet
above the sea level 5000 wells are
already in operation there, transforming
the desert into fertile farms. The average
depth at which water is found is from
200 to 800 feet and the shallowest wells
throw water six feet INTO the air and
flow continually the year round. They
never freeze as the water is much arm
or than river OIL surface water. The
deepest we'll, known as the great spout
or" .Alamosa, is 900 feet deep and throws
a solid stream of water sixty feet into
the air. Every town and village in the
valley is watered from these wells, and
the overflow from them, running in lit
tie brooks along the streets and high
ways, nourishes the shade trees and
lawns and makes fertile the flower and
vegetable gardens. The wells are ap-
parently inexhaustible, and it will be but
a few years before every farm has a we'll
of its own.
While it has not been demonstrated
that such wells can be found in our Mon
tana valleys, biologists tell us that all
conditions favor their discovery. Is it
not strange, in view of the great wealth
and prosperity the finding of these hid
den fountains would bring to us, that
any person would hesitate to contribute
to the fund for sinking an experimental

Mr.. Mckinney will not lack for topics
for discussion in the Ohio campaign Of
this fall. He will be kept busy explain
ing why none of the rosy conditions he
predicted as sure to follow the passing
of his tariff bill has yet been full
filled. He began to hedge the other day
in his speech accepting the nomination.
Speaking of tin plate, he said: "They
assert that we are only making a little
That is true, but how much should We
is a surprise" Yet when the National
Canned Goods Packers association pro-
tested against the proposed increase OF
duty on tin plate as destructive to their
industry, Mr.. Mckinley told them that
before the law went into effect, July
LIST, 1851, American tin plate could be
bought cheaper than foreign tin plate
was then selling, and that in the interim
the of tin plate could buy the
foreign article as cheap as aver.
At the time that Mckinley made that
statement tin plate was quoted at S4.45
a box. 1t is now S5.40. During the first
four months of the present year our i'm
ports of tin plate have increased over
the same period in 1890, in round num-
beers, 1%o0,000,0oO pounds. At the en-
HANGED price, owing to the tariff, our
consumers have already paid s5,000,O00
more for tin than under the old sched-
ules. These are hard facts that Mr..
Mckinley cannot dismiss as Of no con-
sequence. The tin plate tax is one that
is felt i'll every household in Ohio, as
Mr.. Mckinley will find out before the
campaipn is over.

Talking of new conductors recalls a story
told by Supt. Cahill, of the steam motor
line. Some two or three weeks ago Cahill
employed n young fellow as conductor. He
was inexperienced in that branch of the
business, but was a willing chap, who
showed a disposition to obey orders. After
having him run a couple of days with an
old conductor he was given a run. On his
first day Cahi!l was riding up from the de-
pot with him. When on Eighth avenue two
ladies i'll the car signalled; the new conduc-
tor was not looking, but Cnhill WAS, and the
latter pulledt the bell cord. The car stopped
in the middle of the block, where the mud
was ankle deep. The ladies, after looking
out of the window, concluded to alipht at
the corner, and so indicated. BY this time
the new conductor was aware something
WAS up, and, not having seen Cahill pull
the bell cord, inquired what the trouble
was. Il stopped it," said the superintend-
ent, but | guess you had better run
to the next corner, where the crossing

The monograph man finds that his path is
not altogether a rose-strewn one in Hell
ena. Perhaps you have noticed a gentle
man going about the streets once or twice a
week with a small satchel in his hand, and
a lot of keys on a big ring over his shout
der. He is the collector, who visits the
various places in which the nickel-in-the~
slot orchestras are kept. and col
lects the money. In the satchel he
carries the cash. and the keys open
the different machines. The collections
are not of the same amount each week, but
vary according to the weather and the bus
mess done by the hotels, saloons and other
places in which they are left. Another
thing which influences the amount received
is the sort of music they provide. A new
and popular piece is good for a run of two
weeks with handsome returns. Every once
and a while the collector finds some new
device has been tried to get the music with
out dropping in a nickel, but as a rule none
of the schemes are successful. The railroad
boys, however, have been figuring on the
combination, and the monograph man is the
sufferer. The other day the machine at the
Grand Pacific hotel was opened, and for
every nickel taken out there was a piece of
iron, lend or steel. Each of these latter
were the exact weight of a nickel, and were
of every conceivable ~shape-round pieces of
iattened lead, half circular bits of iron,
oblong pieces of steel, and square chunks
of the same material. Counting up his as
sets while riding uptown, the collector
sighed, and then remarked that he WAS glad
every one was not acquainted with the com
blnation. An attempt to work off a piece
of lead in the shape of a nickel on a new
conductor was a dire failure.

TIE CHILEAN SITUATION.

The representative Of BALNfACEDA at
Washington yesterday received news
from the seat Of war in Chilli which
causes him to go into ecstacies over the
defeat Of the insurgents. The repre-
sentatives Of the insurgents have like
wise received information from head
quarters, which denies in toto the de-
feat OF the Constitutional army, which
is declared to be marching on to Val
paraiso, and their representatives at
Washington declare that even though
the rebel forces which have struck d.
rect blow at Valparaiso are defeated,
II will simply prolong the war, and that
the rebels will fight the dictator to the
end.
THE Congressionalist party in Chilli,
or the Insurgents, as they are generally
known here, by their bold efforts in
striking at the very seat Of BALNA-
cEDA's power, Valparaiso, may have
over-estimated their own strength and
underestimate that Of BALMAcEDA.
They had been repulsed with enormous
losses though hardly less enormous than
those Of the other side and now
comes the news Of their utter defeat
and on its heels decided denial. The
decisive battle has yet to be fought, ap
parently.
The masses of the people Of Chilli &C.
cording to the accounts are in sympathy
with the Congressiosalist party, whose
object is the upholding of the consti-
tuition and the laws, which the autocra-
tic BAIMAcEDA has ruthlessl!
tramuled under foot. The sue
cess OF the Congressionalist par
~ would mean the preservation
Of the Republic and the peoples liberty
