Blaine May Write AGAIN

New YORK, May 31.-A special dis
patch to the Herald from Washington
gives an interview with Mai. Ramsdell,
marshal OF the district of Columbia, and
one Of the closest personal friends of
the president. In the talk Mr.. Ramsdell
declared that Blaine would write an
other letter in which he would again
decline to allow his name to 90 before
the Minneapolis convention. The major
closed the interview by saying: You
can put it down as certain that the
president will be renominated on the

DEATH OF JAY GOULD.

In the death OF JAY Gould a remark
able man has passed away. While but
lew tears will he shed by the American
people over his demise, his exploits as
a iinqncier and operator in railroad
stocks will command a certain kind oil
adniration-similar, perhaps, to that
which is manifested when one bold
highwayman holds up II stage coach
filled with people and secures all their
v~aluables. Gould was "a hold, far see
ing operator who took few men into
his confidence. He WAS to finance
what Napoleon was to "A Personal
ambition beiug. the controlling motive
in the career OF both.
Gould delighted in the conquest OF
his rivals fully as much as he did in
The possession of wealth, and he was
always found equal to any emergency
or opportunity that came up III his
5usy career. 1t is, perhaps, true that
a chain OF circumstances had much to
10 in securing him his millions. yet it
required ii quick perception and cour-
age to take advantage OF the circunI-
stances, proving the truthfulness OF the
quotation, There is a tide in the al
faIrs OF men which, taken at the Hood,
leads on to fortune." Had Gould
been a day dreamer, AMI spent hall oil
1is time whiting up dry goods boxes
around n country store he might have
been as poor as Lazarus, and un-
known to fame. His energy was com
mendable even though his methods
were not always honorable. In his
eagerness to defeat his rivals and ac-
cumulate wealth he became oblivious
and even heHrtless as TO the injury
his schemes would bring to others.
But Gould made the mistake OF
most wealthy men. He did but little
for the poor; little for charity, ON
sidering his great wealth. He could
have ailayed in a great measure, the
luminosity against him by helping wor-
Chy objects III the city and nation Ill
which heha / accumulated his fortune.
But he died leaving no bequeststoa any
benevolent institutions and utterly
regardless OF what the world might say
OF him after death. His children will
not keep IL scrapbook OF good things
said OF him, because they have not
been written. They viii inherit a for
tune, that Is all.
Dying i'll the same year which is the
greater loss, Gould or Whittier? One
lived a plain, simple life and gave his
hest raientsfor thecause OF humanity,
which he loved. The other cold, SELF
ish, heartless, lived for himself and
The brief glory money could bring.
His memory will be unhonored and
unsung.

LAY aouLp,s FUNERAL.

A good many of our readers who
would not for n moment harbor a
thought that could be considered an
archistic, or ungenerous toward the
dead, will no doubt feel that the follow
ing from the Inter Mountain contains
some well-worded truths in relation to
the funeral of Jay Gould
There seems to be something strange
ly incongruous in the religious services
held over the remains of Jay Gould,
when considered in connection with
the business career of the wizard.
Perhaps 40 man in North America
wrecked so many fortunes and lives and
homes as jay Gould. He never stop
ped TO inquire whether railroad stocks
were the sole means of support of the
widow and orphan or of men whose
happiness and comfort were dependent
on h permanence of their values he
never considered how many homes
would be invaded 10y poverty as a re-
suit of his speculations. If he wanted
TO take in "A railroad he would o
lessly ''bear' the stock to the everlast-
ing ruin OF the stockholders and then
scoop it in. 1t was fun for him but IT
was terrible for the innocent victims of
his greed. Thai such IL man should re
ceive all the sacred rites of the church
and his soul be accompanied by the
Denedictiun of the ordained ministers
of the gospel may be in the line of
Christianity, but it has an homogeneous
look. 1t would be less Objectionable if
1T the last n the deceased had
set apart half of his fortune for the re-
lief of those he had robbed i'm his life
time, but he doesn't seem to have left
adollar L the conscience fund. Ii such
men can have Nearer my God to
Thee" sung over their remains, what III
c~entive is there for any man To be
either honest or charitable?

IN SOLID SILVER.
Mortana's Statue Will Attract Great Atten-
ton at the Worlds FAIR.

Chicago Mail: The exhibit that will
probably attract more attention at
the Worlds Fair next year than any
other will be astatute in the Montana
state building. The statue will be that
OF a roman eight feet high including
the pedestal. and of solid silver. The
intrinsic worth OF the silver is S35, 900
and the sculptor is to receive 81, 200
for his work. 1t will be modelled after
the severely Greek style of sculpture.
A single garment will adorn the statue,
leaving the arms, neck and bust ex-
posed and extending TO the knees. On
her head will be a diadem. In her left
hand, which is raised above her head,
she will hold the scale, in which gold
and silver balance each other, thus
symbolIzing Montana's stand on the
silver question. In her right hand.
which falls at her side, will be a drawn
sword. She stands on Al globe two
feet in diameter, which will represent
mother earth floating in ether. Miss
Ada Rehan, the actress, will be the
model.

Prof. Smith may rejoice hat the laws
of the land and public sentiment will
not permit them to be burned at the
stake, vet there can he no doubt but
the "avenging angel is on their trail
and they must sooner or later quit
thinking new thoughts or start a church
of their own. While this farce is in
progress the telegraph wires and news
papers bring accounts Of the most
brutal and bloodthirsty prize fight that
has ven taken place in this country
that between Joe Goddard and Peter
Maher. In the Helena Independents
account Of the fight was this: "As the
brawny gladiators returned to their
corners cuverd with blood the specta-
tors ven into a perfect frenzy of de-
light. The smell of fresh, warm blood
permeated the air and seemed to
rouse the savage iusticts To Il pitch that
was indeed alarming" What a shame,
that in our boosted civilization such
cen will be permitted and the details
sen broadcast as news. What this
country needs is wholesome laws and
men who dare enforce them. Less Of
ereeds and more of deeds; less Of form
aud more f feeling.

The Horse as Bred in America and England.

Probably more and better horses
are owed in America per thousand OF
population than in any other country,
and the farmer or corner-groceryman,
Mt least in the North and West, a
and does afford to keep as good a
roadster as the city nabob,-often a
better one. While the average horse
lacks the distinctive characteristics OF
race, he has exceptionally good quail
ties. American horses are, as "A rule,
sure-footed. There are more broken
kneed nags in cabs and livery stables
in England four-fold than here.
Smooth roads and level meadows uni
formly breed horses less careful how
they tread than rough roads and stony
produces safer steppers than the clay
OF the South. Our horses are of even
disposition; one rarely sees a brute or
a biting, striking, kicking devil in
America. They are easily broken. In
Kentucky the children ride the colts,
often with only a stick to guide them.
II consider sal Herbert long ago,
''thegeneral lorse OF America superior
not in blood or in beauty, but decid-
eddy in hardihood to do and TO endure,
in powers OF travel, in speed, in docil-
ity, and in good temper, 10 any other
race OF general horses III the known
world" Except perhaps in the mat
ter OF trottiI1, the main distinction
between the horsein Enaland-as typ
zeal OF Europ" (for gill Europe now is
initiating England in matters equine)
and the horse in America has lain in
the lack of system in breeding. OF
very late years there has been consid-
cradle attention paid in this country
TO breeding, and the admixture OF diff
fereut bloods, which has produced
memberships with which America is
overrun," is being avoided. That
breeds have been kept separation Eng
land is due to the fact that the raising
OF horses has largely been in the hands
of great Landowners or capitalists,
and the farmer : who raised horses had
their intelligence as well as their stud
to profit by whereas, in America, un-
til of recent years, breeding OF all but
thoroughbreds was, with few eXcep-
tIons, an entirely random affair. i
farmer bad a stanch mare. The only
available stallion was i'll the neighbour
ing village-perhaps PM circuit. All he
could see was that there were good
qualities present IN both, and he be
iIeveu JhGj these would he transmit
ted. Race was never dreamed of.
Often the mare was not bred from un-
I'll sine WAS untitled for work by some
thing which equally untitled her for
breeding. No doubt the average pro-
duet OF this lack of method may have
been of excellent service in it's way,
but it was none the less 'nondescript."
In England the thoroughbred or racer,
the hunter, the hackney, the cob, the
Galloway, the Shetland, the carriage
horse, the gigster, the Suffolk Punch,
Clydesdale, and other cart-horses, the
Cleveland bays and black Hanover
ians have all been kept distinct, and
are regularly bred.-From The Horse

No Hope for Silver.

Helena Herald (: The cause Of silver
has felt the impetus of the recent cleo
ton and is booming along right merri-
ly. Yesterday, Mr.. Harter, IA Demo-
cratic member of the house from Ohio,
introduced IL bill providing that all pur-
chases Of silver bullion cease after the
irst of January, and hat II million
unces. presumably per month, of sill
yer bullion, be sold for gold. That is TO
say, the government Is not only TO stop
buying silver, but it is to unload what
1t has on hand on the market, without
respect 10 demand or price. A more
internally ingenious scheme to close
every silver mine in the country and
bankrupt every silver-producing state
could not have been concocted in sheol.
Aud yet there is great reason to believe
hat it exactly represents and embodies
the policy Of Grover Cleveland.

LIE PRESIDENTS MgasAaE.

We give in this issue "a brief synopsis
Of President Harrison's last message Ia
congress. The message, as u whole, IL
very exhaustive and able. The presi
dent is steadfaSt in his devotion To the
policy of protection and points out
clearly the benefits that have accrued
through lis operation. He is somewhat
distrustiul of the future welfare of the
country and does not hesitate to init
mate as much. Among other things
he says at would I've offensive to sug-
gesl that the prevailing party will not
carry into legislation the principles add
vocated 10y it and the pledges given to
the people"
While the president may naturally
feel ii little sore over his defeat he is too
broad i'm his views, too much of Il states
man To resort to the tricks
of Il dcmagogue. Whit he says are
words of caudur and sincerity, and time
alone must test their accuracy for
truth. The president, like millions OF
MS fellow-cuuntrymen, is anxious e.
see the now dominant party take hold
f the affairs of government aud test
he merits of "A new aud different policy.
