wide between them. The west end of the
new depot will rest on these walls when it
is finished and Gaspee street will then run
about fifty feet to the east of where it does
now and this wall will be the western
boundary of that street when the new
depot is finished.
The walls are built in the most solid

Douglas is on the bench. The plaintiff
alleges that Bailey made an unwarranted

and intelligent effort. Sir Henry Parkes
one OF the strongest politicians in New
South Wales. has been forced to resign,
and labor did it. The late premiere
government undertook to antagonize
the passage OF an eight hours law,
that had met with the practically
unanimous support Of those most inter-
ested, the laborers themselves. As a
fitting reward Of their a%ntagonistic
efforts, Parkes and his cabinet are now
resting in the cool shades Of opposition,
and a now administration has been
formed, pledged to the support OF the
measure. There is n installment OF
the results Of united and G,telhSent
effort on the part of working men. John
Burns sees in the defeat OF Parkes che
of the most glorious triumphs that labor
has ever been able to achieve. Accord
ing to the views of the famous London
leader, the ex-premier of New South
Wales is n OF a very common type OF
politicians. They are not confined to
the antipodes. They are to be found in
Great Britain as we'll, and II own
country is not without them and
their methods. We are not unac-
quainted with the men who, with
out n shred Of genuine interest in the
cause of labor, yet undertake it's advo-
cacy with glib tongues and shallow
hearts, only to desert it without a
scruple, when the tide Of popularity
turns or VIXEN they have a chance to
partake Of the loaves and fishes. An
open enemy is better than a faithless
friend, In any case, whether Sir Henry
Parkes is or is not the astute gamester
that Burns believes him to be, the great
fact remains that the working mon OF
New South Wales have, by their intelli-
gence and their good faith to one an
overturned one Of the strongest
that had eve held office in
Australia. What they have done others
may do.

LABOR TRIC Nj

From every quarter of the world come
reports of cheerful omen for the horny
handed sons of toll. Everywhere their
interests are Frightening, and the sun
shine OF their prospects,, we are glad to
say, is largely due to the coed sense and
cooperation of the workmen them
selves. Recent labor congresses on the
continent of Europe have shown their
practical acumen by eliminating the
socialistic agitator and the Interested
blatherskite from their midst. In this
they have not only testified to their
sense Of self-respect. They have done
more. They have secured thu good
wishes and sympathy of a large class Of
people outside of their own immediate
ranks, 1T is never WISE to ALLEVIATE the
goodwill of others, when that goodwill
can be retained without offence to self
esteem and without reversal of the in
terests most at heart. The mainte-
nance of agreeable relations with all
men is good worldly policy, and the
%workingmen of this or any other coun-
try cannot, in the interests of an an
archistic few, afford to antagonize any
or every other element of the body pol
itic. Intelligence and unity should be
the rallying cries of w%orkingmen. With
these talisnans Inscribed on their ban
ners, they can achieve triumphs for
themselves and their posterity that are
as yet undreamed of.

THE N. r.. A.

As will be seen by a special from New
York in our telegraph columns, Saratoga
was yesterday finally chosen as the
place of meeting of the National Educa-
tional association next year.
The action of the executive committee
was clearly in violation Of the expressed
will of the great convention of teachers
at Toronto, and will prove a disappoint-
ment to Helena people, who had built
high hopes upon exercising the privi-
lege of entertaining the educators within
their h%ospitable CITY. The action will
no less be a disappointment to the thou
sands of people who had already planned
to visit the great northwest next year,
including a trip to the National park
and other places Of note.
But our people have two other ma
tional conventions assured, and they
will bring to our city and state several
thousand people. The supreme lodge
A. o. U. w. will come first, and later the
national encampment OF the Sons of
Veterans. While regretting the loss of
this one, it may be admitted that two
national conventions in one year are all
that we might reasonably have hoped to
secure when we started out to capture
such gatherings. Montana and Helena
are not dependent for a great year upon
the coming of a few thousand visitors,
more or less. All who care to come will
be welcomed and Hospitality entertained.
Those who do not come will have cause
for regret.

An English view of Chicago.

A generation ago America consisted Of
the settled northeastern and southeastern
states and of the great expanse of more or
less wild continent behind them. Year by
year. however, the population has been
spreading west, and every fresh census has
pushed inland the mean line of population
the line on either side of which the ppou-
Is equal, says the London Spectator. The
significance of this gradual withdrawal of
the mean population line from the coast
must not be missed The fact means that
the Anglo-Saxons in the United States are
becoming what they have never been before
in their history, an inland people. In a
very little time the vast majority of Ameri-
ANS will not only have never seen the sea,
but will never nave been within a thousand
miles of it. TIT destiny of the American
people is to become as much a people Of
great inland plains as the Russians, and
this fact will be made clear to the world
when travellers leave the ocean at New
York. and, after travelling inland over a
thousand miles, find themselves in a city as
big as Vienna and ten times as rich and
energetic. "
The existauee of q great city so far re-
moved from the sea is probably unique in
the worlds history. Delhi in the days of
it's greatest prosperity had no doubt a very
large population, but unless Moscow can
be called ereai we can recall no other great
city of ancisnt or modern times situated in
the heart of a continent. 1t may be said
that Chicago is an exception only in name.
and that it could never have achieved the
position it has achieved but for the fact
hat it is situated on the shores of a great
double-armed inland sea, No doubt the
great lakes have helped Chicago, and no
doubt also the fact that they require from
the populations which surround them all
the seafaring qualities of the English race
will prevent its inhabitants from becoming
too inlandish in their habits. Chicago,
however. is not enough in the middle of the
continent to hold forever the position OF
the typical American city. AS the center of
population shifts westward. her relative
position will decline, and she will ultimate
ly have to give way 10 some younger rival
to the west and south, possessed of a
geographical position more suited to the
commercial capital of a nation Of some
ZOo,OOo,GO of inland people, Still. as vi
have said before, Chicago for the time will
serve as nn object lesson in regard to the
great change which has come ovor the con-
ditions under which the American conti-
nent is inhabited,

The health OF Prince Bismarck is now
said to be excellent. A German who visited
him recently said that the e~x-chancellor
spent more than two hours in the saddle on
one day and more han four hours in riding
over his estate in a carriage on the follow
ing day.
Prince Henry of Orleans, recognizing the
fact that the chances of his succeeding to
the throne of France are extremely small,
has done the next best thing and entered
the ranks of the journalists. In one Of the
last issues of Soleil, in Paris, the prince
has an article on ''China and Politics."
Stephen Groth, of London. claims to
have invented q tidal motor. He proposes
to put a dynamo at a suitable spot on the
North Sea coast and to transmit to Berlin
electric power for lighting and heating the
city and driving it's machinery. The
dynamo will be operated, he says, by the
tides ebb and flow.
James Stillie, the Edinburgh bookseller,
is said to be the only man now living in
that city who knew Sir Walter SCOTT. When
a boy he carried proofs to Abbotsford, and
thus first encountered Scott, whom he af-
forwards came to know we'll. He says that
"Scott didn't know what pride was," and
had a kind word for everybody. i
Oscar Wilde claims to have written a
play, a novel and q volume of posms, which,
if they nave not brought him fame and
wealth, have made him talked about. But
his big brother has captured the woman
whose wealth will place him above the
called for in the signing of checks and the
acceptance of invitations.
Michael Munkacsy, the artist, spent the
greater part of the summer at his castle

great picture, "The Conquest of Hungary
by the Magyars," in the new studio. He
has already finished the sketches for the
