Letter on the Subject.
Feb. 10, 1S91.-E. Ellery Anderson.
Chairman-Dear Sir: l have this afternoon
received your note inviting me to attend
tomorrow evening the meeting called for
the purpose of voicing the position Of the
business men Of our city to 1.-THE free COIN
age of silver in the United States"
/ shall not be able to attend and address
the meeting as you request. but l am glad
that the business interests of New York are
at least to b. heard on this subject. It
surely cannot be necessary for mt to max,
a formal expression of my agreement with
those who believe that the greatest peril
would be invited by the adoption Of the
scheme embraced in the measure now pend
ing in congre s for the unlimited coinage
of silver at our minis.
If we rave developed a n unexpected ca
pacity for the assimilation of a largely-in-
creased volume of this currency, and even
if Ne have demonstrated the usefulness of
such an increase, other conditions fall far
short of insuring us against disaster if in
the present situation we enter upon the
dangerous, the reckless experiment of free.
unlimited, and independent silver coinage.
Yours, very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

Useful Annie Rooney.


A horse which had been pulling a heavily
loaded wagon, says the lnter-O Ocean, sud
denly took it into his head to lie down on
State street. and then he refused to rise.
A large number Of men gathered around,
and OF course every man had a suggestion
to offer.
.'Yank the bridle!' yelled a man in q
buggy.
The bride was "yanked," but the horse
still lay there.
"Twitch his taii!' screamed q man on
the sidewalk.
The tail wal twitched. and the horse
seemed rather to like it.
''Poke him in the ribsr' said q third sug-
gester.
The prodding was promptly performed.
No result.
"Stick pins in his ears!' remarked man,
evidently an active member of the society
for the prevention Of cruelty to animals.
Twas done but the horse only moved his
head from side to side.
"Three or four fellows get astride him
and he'll get up" was the next suggestion.
The crowd was ready to try ANYTHING and
it detailed four venturesome men, who
climbed on the horse and kicked stimuli
taneously with their double quartet Of
heels, but the animal never budRed.
The situation was getting serious for the
crowd was blocking the ~thoroughfare when
a genius yelled:
Sing Little Annie Roony' to him"
That was enough. With a snort of rage
the horse raised himself to his fore feet,
then to his hind ones, and started of so
RAPIDLY that many Of the spectators had
hairbeadth escapes.

SMALL MANUFACTURES.

A subscriber writes: "You have had
great deal to say about the necessity
II manufactures in Helena. Do you sec
much to encourage you in the apathy OF
nr people in this matter? / personally
Know OF several plants that would have
been established here had any substan-
tial encouragement been given to them
by our citizens. / now have in mind
one big concern, at whose head is a bus
mess man of the highest standing in
this community, which proposes to give
permanent employment to more than
one hundred men. 1t Is a safe, conser-
vative and money-making business, yet
our men OF money, who have been asked
to take stock in it, have shown SO little
interest in the industry that tho bust
ness may 60 elsewhere. What is the
matter with our people? Are they con-
tent with what they have? 1t looks like
IT,"
We do not know to what particular
project our correspondent refers, but
we believe one difficulty IN the way OF
getting more industries here is that our
people are tor apt to associate with the
idea OF manufactures some colossal
establishment like the Edgar Thompson
steel works or the Carnegie iron works,
covering acres Of ground and employing
thousands of hands. Now what Helena
wants, and what is within her reach. is
twenty, fifty or a hundred small indus
tries. A diversity OF manufactures
builds up a greater and more prosperous
community than the establishment of
one or two overshadowing industries.
A city with only one source OF wealth is
like a man with one eye or one idea
liable to total eclipse at any time.
The question is, What manufactures
will pay here: That is a question for
practical men to determine. The next
question is. How shall We get such en-
terprises here: The answer to that is
easy. Local capital must go down into
its pockets and take stock in practical
undertakings. That is the only way the
for ward movement OF the town a be
expedited. Other cities are doing these
things. Why not Helena?
A variety of small manufactures have
been suggested as likely to do we'll here.
a lead pipe works, a cracker factory. &
WOODEN mill, a candle factory. a coffee
and spice mill, a showcase factory, a
pattern and model factory, a starch fac
tory, beet sugar works, etc, are among
the industries mentioned at different
times as needed here. As TO their prac-
ticability, our business men al easily
determine by a little investigation. The
main thing is to move promptly after an
investigation has settled the question
whether the enterprises are sound in
vestments from a business point OF view.
Let us bring the small industries first
and the bigger ones will come later.

PORTUGUESE DIFFICULTIES.

If we are to Judge from the frequent
reports Of intermittent revolution, the
throne Of Portugal is very far from be-
ing a bed Of roses. This is the harder
to understand, inasmuch as Don Carlos
seems to be well liked by his people.
and, considering his position in life, bears
a very good character. Besides, there
are no burning constitutional questions
at stake. A wine bill scarcely furnishes
a decent pretext for revolutionary
measures and armed outbreak, and yet
a vine bill is the one centre Of constitu-
tional agitation IN the kingdom OF Portu-
gal just at present. Until a few years ago
a considerable portion Of the govern
ment revenue was derived from an ex-
port duty on wine. In 1889 a decided
change was made and a law was passed
granting a subsidy to producers of wine
that was suitable for export. All the
good people who were not engaged in
the process OF wine manufacture imme-
diately protested most vigorously against
this invasion OF their pockets. The case
was submitted to the courts, who have
decided that the subsidy was illegal, and
there the matter rests.
The truth seems to be that the repub-
lican leayen is at work. When Brazil
quietly decided to do away with impe-
rial institutions and substitute a repub-
lican form OF government in their place.
there were plenty OF keen sighted stu
dents Of political affairs to declare that
Portugal would not be long in follow
ing the example OF her old colony. The
history OF the past year gives
color to the idea. Outbreaks have been
frequent both at LISBON and Oporto
Those which occurred during the
trouble with England oyer Portuguese
possessions in Africa for a time threat,
ened to a serious aspect. The
latest rising was that Of the garrison at
Oporto, which, though eventually sup
pressed, overthrow for a time the
established authorities and required Sc
riously coerciye measures to crush i
out. In each instance the protested OBJ
ject has been the establishment Of a re
public.
For the best interests of Portugal il
the meantime, it is probably well tina
none Of the recent attempts at revolu
ton have met with success. The Portu
guese people are at present unfit for tn
responsible and onerous duty OF self
government. With their traditions j
eould hardly be otherwise. Local self

ONE Of the most valuable and inter
esting contributions to the literature OF
irrigation that has CONF to Il knowl-
edge is tho series of papers now being
contributed to the Bozeman Chronicle
by Mr.. G. A. Gregory, who has made q
thorough study Of agricultural prob
lens in the SO called arid belt. The ar
ticles give just the practical information
that is needed on this subject n will
be Of great service in the development
of Montana's farming lands. Mr.. Greg
DRY practises what he breaches, too, and
is associated with eastern capitalists in
great enterprises in the Gallatin valley,
notably the growing Of barley and the
manufacture OF malt.
