Who knows but that the loot bound In
ebony MAY belong to the republican ole
plant that will kick Harrison over the
white house fence in 1888.

There is an underourrent OF suspicion

The casual observer, after reading the
Butte and Anaconda papers, would very
naturally conclude that the entire pros
perity of the west aide was dependents upon
the opening OF the Anaconda mine. In
contradiction to this conclusion, we respect
fully await advices from Missoula. Dillon,
Virginia City and other towns. !

Arrangements for Officer GroRan's bsne-
TT progress favorably. Among the attrac-
tions will be q highway turn" by Miss or
MI. Miller or Fursland and Mr.. CLARK.
Miss Fursland onco showed her sympathy
in Butte, and has kindly consented to mako
a like exhibition in Helena on the occasion
Of the wounded officers benefit. Mr..
Clark is arranging q seance before the next
grand jury, but hopes to appear for the as
sistance Of tho officer whom he tried to
kill.

Tbs weather in this town yesterday was
not exactly what we would like, but, fortu-
nately, bad weather in Helena lasts only q
day.
The Washington Post issues a proclama-
tion from Baby Mckee advising Miss Ruth
Cleveland to keep off the White house grass.
This 10 very pleasant news from Washing
ton, but it is more than probable that Baby
McKee's authority will end on or about
March 4, 1892, If Montana republicans have
their way.

We know several Montana politicians
who could turn on the Faucet in New York
this fall and keep it going. Montana and
New York are, however, two different states.

After smoke consumer Hutchinson de-
stroys the s%ulphurous smoke in Butte. he
might come to Helena and consume several
~iniquities not seen under the last city ad-
ministration.

The Deer Lodge Silver State gives a
kindly tip to Manager Remington to keep
his Shylock at home and send a bill poster
when another Deer Lodge engagement is
secured. We are anxiously awaiting to
learn the initials of this alleged Shylock.

The Bitter Root Indians have at last de-
cided to emigrats to the Flathead country.
We therefore assume that Chief Charles
has decided that he is not so big a man as
old Harrison. There are a few republicans
ia Montana who think that CharIo3 is not
vet too old to learn.

The Herald claims that old Ben Pricer of
Marysville is we'll up in the slgn language.
In order to test Mr.. Pricer's ability in
this line we ask him to interpret
the signs now being made between Blaine
and Harrison.

When John G. Gallup of Denver said that
Helena was the coming town of this north
western country he gave evidence of pos
sessing the necessary requisites of a reliable
prophet.
So it is to be Hotter vs. the City of Hell
ena. All right. May the best mar win.
Until the matter is settled Mr.. Hotter has
the best Of it, particularly if a fire should
break out in the rear of the blocks on West
Main between Edwards street and Sixth
avenue.
Among the alleged English inoorr rators
of the Sapphire and Ruby Company of Mon
tana is Sir Francis Knollys, secretary to
the prince of Wales. We suspect that this
is a sly movement on the part of the prince
to secure his sapphires for nothing but we
have no protests to make SO long as his ia.
vorites advertise Montana as the home of
gems. A&

After this fall the services of Old Freight
Jones will not be needed by the democracy
of New York. He might emigrate to Mon
tana and pay the freight on that note in
which prominent Helena republicans are
interested.

A lady at Bonner on Wednesday evening
became the mother of a daughter weighing
two and and one-fourth pounds. As this
affair occurred at Bonner, where four dem
ocratio and $50 republican votes we're cast
in 1889, we feel called upon to cite 1t as
further evidence OF the smallness Of the
