Mr.. Merritts attorneys appealed his case
to the supreme court; MI. McNally
once more applied to the city attorney
for his services and received the reply
printed in yesterdays Journal, 1t is,
indeed, a labored communication and to
q tyro it must be very plain that the at
torney stands on very ~treacherous
ground. The most striking feature OF
his letter is his Willingness to defend
McNally before the supreme court if
the latter insists, when he fatty refused
his services at the original trial. 1t is,
indeed, difficult to soc just how Mr..
Craven can throw any intelligent light
on this change of mind. He says that
he does not believe, latter carefully re-
viewing the subject, that it was contem-
plated in the ordinance that the city
attorney should contribute his services
in cases brought against the officer or
his bond for neglect Of duty" But
notice what he says further on. "But
this ordinance has never been construed
by Il courts and it is possible that my
view above briefly expressed might not
be sustained. I am DESTROYS of perform
ing as completely as lies in my power
all the duties of my position, and hence
will not refuse my services if you desire
them; aud those services, il you
demand them, will be as earnest and
painstaking in your behalf as they
would be did / entertain the opinion Of
the law Of the case which I have above
Why did not Mr.. Craven ex-
press this willingness when McNally
first applied for his services? # he was
i'll doubt about his official requirements,
which he says in this instance have
never been construed by the courts, why
did he not go ahead and defend McNally?
He would have lost nothing by it and
would have saved the city a nice little
bill Of $3.50 which, under the circum-
stances, was appropriated by our kind
hearted aldermen. His reference to the
briefs submitted BY McNally's attorneys
on the appeal is entirely irrelevant to
the real issue. Mr.. Craven's letter
simply means that under protest he will
defend Mentally before the supreme
court when he decidedly refused to
defend him in the district court. The
communication places the city
attorney in sven a worse light than be-
fore, for by his willingness to carry on
the building inspectors case now he
admitted that he might have
taken the defence when first
asked. In any event the taxpayers Of
this town have been forced to pay $3.50
because he refused to do what he is
willing to do now. ~.

Manager Remington on tho Sale of Re-
served Seats.
Quite a number OF people complained of
their inability to secure seats for the Rob-
son entertainments last evening. Some al
legged that they went to Pope & O'Connor's
early Thursday morning, before eight
O'Clock. and that the body OF the house had
been sold, and they charge that seats were
sold privately Wednesday and Wednesday
evening. Manager Remington, asked
about the matter yesterday, said that not a
seat was marked of the, sheet before
Thursday morning and that every one was
sold over the counter on that day. IT was
asked" said Mr. Remington, ION, Wednes-
day to reserve some seats, and I promised
to do 80. Wednesday evening / gave a man
the money to secure the seats, and Thurs
day morning at 1880 he went TO Pope g.
O'Connor's and did 50. A number Of per-
sons pooled. and the seats were taken in
blocks. not BY spectators. but BY parties
Of friends. No seat has been sold 80 long
as ! have had charge Of the opera house to
any one. or reserved for any one, previous
to the time set for the sale to open, save

Neither Owners or Miners in the Coeur

News from Warder, Idaho, Is to the effect
that the Miners union has refused to
accept the Mine Owners assooiation's prop
osition in regard to wages in allowing car
men and shovelers to work in tunnel and
dry mines for So per day. The mine own
ers will probably let the mines lie idle.
The unions, in order to prevent an influx of
from the outside, nave notified union
men in California, Utah and Montana not
TO come here till this trouble is settled.
Affairs here do not look as cheerful for
immediate mining activity as it was hoped
for. The owners Of the Stemwinder are
perfectly Indifferent, with present price of
silver and the unsettled state Of the labor
question, whether they start up or not. AS
to the Bunker Hill & Sullivan, it ID quite
probable that it will not start up under the
present management. All work on the
new mill has been stopped. The tramway
is an utter failure, at least entirely unfit to
perform the service required of It, and a
railroad will have to be built. Rumors are
current there that v. NJ. Clement, the gen
eral manager, has resigned, and that his
resignation will take effect July l. ~

HOW 70 WIN,

The taxpayers Of this city are looking
for relief from the present very bad
management Of municipal affairs. ~
change is demanded. If the demo-
Gratis propose to furnish this re-
lief. the way is very clear.
They must nominate men who are abso-
lutely above reproach, who are known
in the community for their honesty and
capability, and who will assuredly per
form the duties of the various offices
with fearless regard for the city's inter
ests. No candidate who cannot COM
mand the full respect of taxpayers
should be considered, for, if nominated,
he will invite defeat at the outset. The
time is quite ripe for the choice Of men
who are needed. The interests Of this
city are above mere party success, above
the qualification Of personal ambitions.
It must be Helena first, last and all the
time, and particularly at election time.
The men who have used city offices to
further personal interests, who have re-
fused to perform duties for which they
were elected, must be told to go and no
tice must be served that none who pro-
pose to carry on this sort Of business
will be nominated. If the democrats
nominate the right ticketit will win, but
they must not expect to find any weak
spots overlooked on election day. The
failure of the present administration to
take care of the city as it promised to
do, the school trustees scandal which
was ventilated by the grand jury, the
high school building Job, the disclosures
in the public administrators office, have
combined to arouse a sentiment among
taxpayers that public office is a public
trust and that mono but trustworthy
men shall be in charge hereafter.
There will be no lack Of charges for
the a~rraignment Of the present admin
istration. 1t is an open secret that at
no time since the passage Of the gamb-
ling law has that law been SO openly and
brazenly violated as in the past year.
Sure thing" games have been run not
only in public dives but in luxuriously
furnished apartments, and the work Of
rolling" has been carried on with com
parative ease; this is notorious. But, in
addition, the taxpayers have been bled
through the failure OF the city attorney
to do his duty; there has been great
fault finding with the assessment and
the street department has been man
aged with a reckless disregard of coun-
Gil and committee. These are sufficient
reasons for a popular Indictment of this
administration and will be explained in
detail.
Once again, il the democrats expect
to win they must nominate men whose
names will bear witness that, il elected,
they will do their duty.

above mentioned was attacked by natives
in August last, sixteen of its members
killed and thirty-one wounded. All the
merchandise and many rifles were cap
