FACTS AND FIGURES WITH A
LESSON.

sAt the banquet given on Wednesday
night, May 18th, at the Mansion House,
the Lord Mayor of London stated that
ssthere are deposited in all the banks OF
the United Kingdom an estimated sum
of ESQ., 900, 900, with a further total OF
f114,OOO 900 in the Savings Banks. An
aggregate in fact, of t1,OOO,OOO,-
OOO."-London Weekly Bulletin.
After printing the above para
graph, our English contemporary
pertinently and pregnantly asks;
"Now, where does the gold represent
ING this enormous total come in! Does
the country own not 81 ,OOO, 900, 600, but
even a paltry 600, 100000 in all? If SC
where is it! Can any one tell me! And
how about the little difference of 5000,
900, 900. What represents it9'
These are no idle questions and
the matters to which they relate are
not to be safely OF properly dismiss
ed without any serious or continuous
consideration. Reduced to our own
currency according to these figures
and we have reason to regard
them as not at all exaggerated-the
sum total of deposits in all the banks
of the United Kingdom does not fall
below s4,694,6SO. Now this is
1861, $4,000 more than all the gold
in the commercial world available
for monetary uses according to the
very highest estimate, that of ouI
w Mint Bureau. On the other
hand, it is fully s4,319,6S0,O0O more
than all Ike gold in the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland

DEMOCRATS IN I N

When the democratic population
here saw the HERALD's extra yester-
day, then they knew that Cleveland
and Stevenson were nominated.
Now they know that Cleveland
was not the man they wanted, but
for the sake of a jolliicatlon, not
knowing who Stevenson u.s. they
thought maybe he was just the man
they wanted. Then they thought 1t
possible that as Stevenson is not
known he will make a better run
than if everybody was we'll acqualnt-
ed with him.
So it follows hat they burn up a
cord of wood and blow out a box OF
giant powder on hearing the news
1t would seem mete and highly
fitting, too, that they should cele-
brate now. For November cometh
when rejoicing will cease.

POINTER.

From the Teton Timee.
A good many people pack around
ignorance enough to overload an A
rabian camel. Last Wednesday one
of this sort stumbled into the place
where the Times is manufactured and
started to advise us on the political
situation. He talked all the time we
were making up the forms and when
that was done we looked over the
subscription list to see if his name
was there. 1t was not. 1t was some
time before we could conclude
whether to turn lose and chase him
out of the office or put his name on
the complimentary list. If when he
has read the Times for six months he
doesn't know enough never to at
tempt to chin with a newspaper mar
without paving the way with an adj
vance subscription he is a hopeless
case Of irremedial ignorance.

UEE OF THE HILLS.

Work was commenced on the Queen
of the Hills electric plant just one year
ago. At that time the ground was
cleared of the brush and other accumu
latiOns and the excavation begun neces-
sary for the building containing the
same. Work during this whole period
has never ceased until the last piece of
machinery was put in place and the plant
started up which occurred on Tuesday
last. o. B. Vinal representing the
Thomson, Houston company, superin-
tended placing the electrical machinery
in place and r. H. Roberts held the
same office respecting the placing of the
steam machinery. Both of these gentle
men are industrious and very able men
as :heir work attests. The engines, two
in number, are the latest improved Ball
& Wood cross compound condensing
having a capacity of 200 horse powereach.
Power is generated from four dynamos
having IA capacity of eight horse power
each.
The hoist is the Ledgerwood with
a sinking capacity of 1900 feet. E. 5.
Smith is the electrical engineer and has
the management of the hoist. This COM
pany besides supplying power for this
mine will also furnish power for mines
in the vicinity, and light the town.
The Queen has been to considerable ex-
pense which is estimated at 10000.
This is the most complete plant of its
kind in Montana. On the trial test last
Tuesday the machinery worked entirely
satisfactory to those in charge as well
as to c. P. Downing the superintendent
of the mine. Work on sinking the shaft
will commence at once employing three
shifts making Is men. All that is neces-
sary to make the mines entire plant
complete is a mill and it is we'll known
that the company is considering the
question of building one. The recent
washout on the railroad will no doubt
somewhat delay this enterprise as ore
shipments have now ceased which the
company was forwarding to the Butte
Wills DC n foot This fest will settle the
question whether the ore is milling or
not. If it is, and there seems to be no
questioning the fact, the company Will
no doubt in the near future commence
the erection of large mill The Queen
mine is one of the best properties in
camp and we are confident will in a few
years, make one of the best in the state.

IMMIGRATION to this country for
the month Of March of this year was
52,S79 souls, with 9S,OO4 for the 3
months ended with March, 1892, and
363,O4S souls for the 8 months; or a
monthly average of 4O,33S, being in
excess of the immigration monthly
quarterly and for the 8 months over
that of 1891. Will America finally
lose her individuality or will she be
able to assimilate these increasing
hordes of invaders and convert them
from faithin Monarchism, Anarchism,
Socialism, and other contorted polit-
ical dogmas, into the true light of
a rule of, for and by the people?
The future generations will decide it
but at what cost no man can measure.

An Organ in the Tenth Century.

Wolston speaks of an organ con.
tanning 400 pipes which was erected
in the Tenth century in England.
This instrument was blown by "thir-
teen separate pairs of bellows" 1t
also contained a large keyboard.
There are drawings of that period
extant which represent the organ as
an instrument having but few pipes,
blown by two or three persons and
usually performed on by a monk.
The keys, which were played upon
by hard blows of the fist, were very
clumsy and from four to six inches
broad.
About the end of the Eleventh
century semitones were introduced
into the keyboard, but to all appear
ances it's compass did not extend be-
yond three octaves. The introduc-
ton of pedals in 1890 by Bernhard
giving a compass B fiat to A-was
another important contribution to
the instrument. These were merely
small pieces of wood operated by the
toe of the player. Daniel Spillane IN

Hugo Stones from the Moon.

In a catalogue of Mexican meteor
ties prepared by NJ. Antonio del Cas-
tillo one mass is mentioned which
exploded in the air and fell in widely
dispersed fragments, portions of it
being found in three places at the
angles of a triangle whose two longer
sides we're some ffty-five and thirty
five miles in length. In one of these
places two plates of stone we're dis
covered, lying about $50 yards apart,
which had evidently once formed one
huge block. Measurements and est
nations place the combined weight
of the two blocks at eighty tons. In

not less than 5000 tons of rocks fell.

Common Names of the Lilac.

Even in so small a place as Eng.
land, of which it is said that a man
may land on one side in the morning
and fall off the cliffs of the other side
before night, the lilac is known by
different names, travelling every few
score miles. In one place it is called
the May plant, in another it is the
princess feather flower, in another it
is called ducks bills, while laylock is
a common variation in those local
tiles where it should be known as
lilac. Possibly if one were to search
in other countries than England he
should find it with a cor or so of
other names.
The great difficulty with English
names for flowers is not that their
English names are improper, but
there is no authority IS to which one
should be generally adopted. No
system for the general adoption of
any one particular name has ever
been suggested Meehan's Monthly.

The Miner asks to have a Board
of Trade organized and the HERALD
helps to swell the chorus of "amen."
ANY movement which tends to bind
the citizens of Neihart north, south,
east and west, together tends to has
ten the day of general prosperity.
But any force which aims to benefit
one faction at the disparagement of
another will surely delay the coming
of that standard of material pros
perity which is everybody's ideal.
A good deal may be said upon this,
very readable and entertaining, but
we leave the public to think it out.
The power of united action is won
derful and the feebleness of discord-
ant, disjointed action is seen in the
failure of such towns as Fort Benton
and others too numerous to mention.
A Board Of Trade would tend to
knit forces and would give a gate

HAND WRITING ON THE
WALL.

THE Democratic Convention has
nominated it's ticket. The week has
been one of great destiny. We,
from our position in Montana, look
on the work of these great onven
tons as but the ocean surges lashing
they seem but the eternal rocks give
way to their playing. Harmless
they appear but the hand that rules
them is shaping and carving the
rocky form of a future changeless
destiny. We can not read all the
signs of the times as we can the
morning oblation in our prayer book,
but we can forecast certain events
by the certain and awful environ
ments, and Judging by this rule, it
will be impossible to elect Cleveland
this fall. 1t is the "Hand writing
on the WALL" the "Thou art weigh
ed in the balance and found want
ing" of modern politics.
The west would ignore to cast it's
vote heavily for Cleveland. No sill
yer state is for Cleveland. None in
structed for him and no delegates
from such states voted for him in
conventions. Harrison received a
good support in,the convention from
these states.
But the bolt which will fall on the
democratic ticket next fall will be
from Tammany. See the solid vote
of New York or Tammany for Hill.
Read the telegram of Mr.. Hill to the
convention. Can the democratic
party elect a president without the
influence of this powerful ring?
Did they ever elect a president with
out the aid of New York State? If
Cleveland is elected it must be out
side this enduring stronghold, and to
hope such an end IS to hope against
hope. Such signs are not hard to
interpret.

BI-METALLISM IN ENGLAND.

John G.. New, our Consul-Gener-
a at London, says: No efforts to
suppress the rising tide in favor of
bi-metallism in that country will sue
coed. Even the directors of the
Bank of England are alarmed at the
narrow basis of financial operations
through gold alone" Slowly but
surely people over there are coming
to see that their banks do not have
metallic money enough at hand, or a
vailably tangible, to stand a run on
the part of depositors to the extent
even of forty-eight hours. In all the
British Isles, says a leading financial
writer, the entire stock of gold does
not amount to $375,OOO,OOO, and
such authorities as Mr.. Palgrave of
the British Mint and J. Biddulph
Martin bear him out in the statement.
Mr.. Fews statements are of lmmedl-
ate interest at this time, for the sug-
g~estive relation they bear to the pro-
posed international monetary con-
ference.

We could see the throbbing heart

Where we hung above the hall

We could count from breath to breath
Every foes and comrades death.

All that passed and all that would
Come, as clear as he whose mind
Steered the squadrons, deaf and blind.
Through the breakers that upburst
Where the cannon did their worst.
We could see our time draw near;
With the knowledge grew our fear.

Each of us could plainly see
Seemed to each mans alm despair
His own death prefigured there.
Through each smoke wreatli's curling

Hurled on all our lines ut length:
Saw our need and danger grow:
Felt the waiting moments 60
While the balance wavcrcd yet:
Saw how desperately met
All the lines before our bands;
Knew the day was in our hands;
Knew that not one chance in ten
Was with any sons of men
In the path that lay before.

When no man of us could choose,
Not know all he had to lose,
All we might and might not win.

All our front with %bayonets marged
Like an avalanche we charged.
