What the President Is Doing These Warn
Days Down East.

h the President Is Doing These Warm
Days Down East.
CAPE MAY, July 29.-Gen. John W.. Eos
ter LEFT here this morning for Washington.
During his stay he was the guest of the
president. and the gentlemen were busy the
entire time comforting regarding reciprocity
treaties being negotiated with various coun-
tries. No confirmation or denial of the re-
ported signing of the reciprocity agree
ment between the United States and San
Domingo, June 4, could be obtained he e.
The president, when approached upon the
subject, stated that all such information
must come from the state department.
The president this morning acted upon
several pardon cases, one of which was that
of Capt. Geo. j.. Armes. The occurrence
which led to trial by coutt martial of Armes
created considerable comment at the time.
Armes, at the Inauguration of President
Harrison. was a retired army officer
living in Washington. On inauguration
day Armes received a fancied grievance
from some Pennsylvania officials. A few
evenings afterward he met Gen. Beaver, of
Pennsylvania, in the lobby of a hotel and
publicly lnsulted him, even going so far as
to pull his nose. Capt. Armes was tried by
officer and a gentleman. He was found
guilty and sentenced to dismissal from the
army. The president subsequently COM
muted the sentence, and ordered that
Armes be restricted to a limit of within
fifty miles of the District of Columbia for
thee years. Upon the recommendation of
the secretary of war the president has now
committed this sentence, and Armes in the
future can go where he pleases.

Vests Purchase Was Fraudulent,

CHICAGO, July 29.-Jndge Blodgett in the
federal district court this morning rendered
n decision in the case of Herman G.. Huis-
kamp and others. constituting the present
management of the Chicago Times news
paper, against J. J. West, n former proprie-
tor, and Vests cross-bill in the same suit.
lhe declsion was q crushing defeat for
West. The suit was brought by Huiskamp
for the purpose of invnlidating 5000 shares
of stock held by West which they claimed
were a fraudulent over issue and which, if
held valid, would give West control of the
paper. Thv court held that the shares were
invalid and should be cancelled and dis
missed Vests cross bill. The court also
held that Vests conduct IN the purchase of
the Times was fraudulent.

THE census bulletin on copper mines
and mining is an interesting document
to M~ontanians. 1t shows that of the
226,o0o,o0O pounds of copper produced
in tho United States in 1889, more than
9S,oO0,ON pounds came from the Mon
tana mines, while those of Michigan
yielded a little more than S7,0oO,oOO
pounds. The statistics compiled by DIR.
David T. Day, special agent for the
census bureau on mines and mining,
show that the wages paid to our copper
miners are nearly double those paid in
the Lake Superior district, but that in
per ton of product they are considerably
less, owing to the higher grade of the
ore mineral. The total expenditures
for copper mining in Montana for the
year 1889 we're S3,204,45 Of which sum
S2,010,940 was for wages alone. The
total cost for mining in Michigan to get
out S7,5O0,O0O pounds Of copper was
s7,47S,s2S, of which sum So, 4 was
for wages.
DR.. Day, in calling attention to these
figures, says: "These conditions impose
upon the Lake Superior copper COM
panies a conservative policy, and rob
them to some extent OF the ability to
quickly adapt themselves to rapid tluct-
uations in tho demand and supply.
They cannot at short notice respond to
calls for increased product, because
preparations for an extension of opera
tons involve the expenditure of large
sums, extended underground develop
ment, and large additions to plant and
equipment. with the long time which
the execution of such plans requires.
They are similarly hampered in any
plans for an adjustment to the condi-
tions which an overstocked market i'm
poses"
The conditions under which copper
may be mined in Montana are so favora-
Bile that this state will leave Michigan
further and further in the rear with
each succeeding year.

The press dispatches yesterday
brought the positive statement from
Ex- President Cleveland that he had no
thought of taking part IN the Ohio cam
paign. Yet. Russell H%arrison's newspa-
per carefully suppressed the news in
order that it might make an editorial
attack on Mr.. Cleveland, based on the
false assumption that he was going to
assist Campbell. That is one kind of
journalism.

consideration in the senate he uttered
this word Of warning: II do hope now
that this bill VIXEN il becomes a law will
be acted upon by the manufacturers ju-
diciously, that they will avoid those con
tracts which have been made and which
have occasioned popular discomfort, that
they will invite fair competition, and
that they will give the benefit of this
competition to tho people in cheaper
production. If they do not, I for one
will be as ready to repeal this law as l
am now to vote for it,"
If NJ. Sherman should be reelected,
in order to keep his word, he would
have to vote with the democrats for the
repeal Of the law.

AMERICAN wage earners buy about
100000 yards of the cheaper grades of
corduroy a year. Corduroy which sold
for forty-seven cents before the passage
of the Mckinley bill now costs fifty-two
cents; and the quality which formerly
sold for twenty-five cents now costs
thirty three cents. The finer grades,
which are not used by the working PEG
pie, have not been advanced in cost.

WE cannot credit the report that the
Farmers alliance is engineering a cor
ner in wheat, all the same as wicked
Wall street. Yet it is a known fact that
millions of circulars have been sent out
by the alliance officials, seeking to con-
vince the farmers Of the country that it
would be a good idea to hold back their
wheat from the market in order to force
up the prices. If the grain operators of
Chicago engaged in such an enterprise
how the embattled farmers would howl
for legislation to stop them!

THE known results thus far of the
Mckinley bill are tho destruction of
Austria's pearl button industries, the
lockout in the Welsh tin plate indus
tries, and the shrinking of trade be-
tween Sheffield and Bradford and the
United States. Imports in general
have increased and our home manufac-
turers have derived no benefit from the
act intended to protect them from the
importer.

THE eastern boundary of the United
States is longitude 66 degrees so min
utes west; the western boundary is 173
degrees west. San Francisco is in longi-
tude 10 degrees % minutes west, which
makes it nearest the central point be-
tween the eastern and western bounda-
ries Of our country. 1t should be OK
planned that the projection of the
Aleutian islands towards the west to
within 1T3 degrees of longitude from
Greenwich brings San Francisco at the
imaginary center. Nevertheless the
traveller frs IN the eastern coast of Maine
to the Pacific ocean finds Helena the
great midway station. and the tourist Of
the future on the "all-rail line from Gal

are abundantly able to build a railroad
connecting the two cities. Both cities
would be greatly helped by such a line

will build the road and have it opened

ASIDE from the necessities of the
teachers convention and the A. o. U.
W. meeting, Helena should have a big
pavilion, or auditorium, that would hold
5000 or 5000 people. 1t could be used
for state conventions, political mass
meetings, loan exhibitions, mineral ex-
hibits, and a hundred and one other
purposes. This would be a good in
v%estInent for a stock company. If it
were known that Helena had such a
capacious hall we could easily bring
here other great assemblies every year.

We all love the beautiful, de~liciously
fragrant apple blossoms that charm US
for a short season in the spring, and note
sadly the last shower of white petals over
the emerald green carpet beneath the
trees. All persons do not know, how
ever, how easily these lovely flowers may
be caused to bloom indoors in winter.
II large branches are broken from the
trees and placed in water in a warm,
sunny window, they will soon flower,
and many of the blossoms will be as
beautiful and fragrant as those that
bloom on the trees in the spring.
Care must be taken to select such
branches as have an abundance of plump
blooming buds, and some Of these should
be removed. as well as some of the more
pointed leaf buds.
Wild pear and wild cherry branches
may be Powered in u similar manner
but not SO satisfactorily as apple tree
limbs. No doubt many other kinds of
early blooming shrubs and trees could
be made to blossom in this way.
Here is an interesting field for expert
ment for flower lovers, particularly for
invalids and children. The satisfaction
of sending to a sick neighbo< or present
ing to n friend a bunch of fresh apple
blossoms in winter amply repays the
triAIng labor required to produce them.
