Smelters at Butte,


EDITORS HERALD: I see that the city
council is seeking information from
various cities having smelters, and
among others from Butte, Mont. The
experience in Butte is not typical. I
have lived there for several years. The
location of the town is unfortunate for
smelling. 1t is built on broad hillside,
overlooking an enclosed valley, and the
smelters are at the foot of the hill, 800 or
400 feet below the town. Butte is prob
ably now the greatest mining city in the
world, and it is estimated that from the
furnaces of it's half dozen mammoth
smelling plants something like 200 tons
OF sulphur daily pass into the atmos-
phere in the form of fumes. When
there is wind the great cloud of fumes
10 blown away over the mountains, but
on cold, still days of winter they are re-
tained in the valley as in a pan, and
then the whole valley is subjected to a
thorough iumigation. Vegetation
promptly succumbs to this treatment.
One smelter in such city as Los An
geles is an entirely different proposition.
Los Angeles is not closely shut in by
mountains and there is perhaps never
season when there is not wind enough
to so distribute the smoke as to render
it harmless. Still the experience of
such cities as Omaha and Denver with
their smelters ought to decide the ques-
tion. How emelters have affected veg
citation there l do not know.

The attention of the Republican can
didate for superintendent of streets is
called to two other affidavits, published
elsewhere, from men employed by his
department setting forth the details of
forced contributions they were compelled
to submit to in order to stand we'll with
their employer. These contributions
will doubtless be explained away by the
street superintendent as voluntary do
nations, as was the purse presented to
him by his deputies to help him defray
the cost of contesting his election.
There can be little doubt that Mr..
Hutchinson has so endeared himself to
his deputies and the men he employs in
street work that they are only too glad to
show their appreciation by voluntary
donations of money whenever they have
reason to believe he will accept them.
1t makes one think better of human
nature to find an official who is go loved
by the menhe gives public work to that
their gratitude can only find vent in
loading him with gifts OF filthy lucre.
And one is impressed with the magnan-
imous character of a. street superin-
tendent who go far ainks his natural
modesty as to accept them.

INGALLS, TOLD THE STORY.

Our Republican contemporaries, in
Guiding the Times of this city, have been
wrestling with the conundrum, "What
caused the late political landslide p"
We have seen q number OF replies to
this inquiry, from Matthew Stanley
Quay's lack Of Republican votes" to
the admirable solution of the matter
given by Grover Clev Gland at the cham
Der OF commerce banquet week or so
ago. Perhaps John James Ingalls, came
as near giving the true reasons as any
other man, and they were prophetic, for
they were uttered by him in speech
delivered in the United States senate on
the 18th OF January, 1891. They are
somewhat voluminous but they are
worth reproduction, as they are scintil'
liant with truth. We quote from that
splendid effort
"The moral sentimento OF mankind has
been aroused at the unequal distribution
of wealth and the unequal diffusion of
burdens"
"During the period of the last 20 years
the wealth of the country increased at
the rate OF $250,00 for every hour.
Every time that the clock ticked above
the portals OF this chamber the aggre-
gate permanent wealth of this country
increased more than $40. Notwith-
standing this stupendous aggregation
there are million American citizens,
abe-bodied and willing to work, who in
vain tramp the streets Of our cities and
the country highways and> by-ways in
search of labor with which to buy their
daily bread"

A Novel Idea.

EDITORS HERALD: AS the credit OF
our government was one of the good
effects of the war OF the sixties, that
credit might we'll be used now in pay
ing pensions. Pension checks of the
denominations of IS, $40 and 500 each
payable in gold coin of the United States
20 years after date, together with &C.
crued interest, at the rate of per cent
per annum, and free from any and all
taxation-could be issued by the gov.
ernment in such aggregate amounts an
nually as may be required to pay the
pensions for such fiscal years.
No better savings institution can be
devised for the masses; and the checks
would be 30 readily disposed of that a
popular loan, without the expense OF
intermediate agencies, would be the i'm
mediate result, ard the coming problem
of reducing the tariff could thus be
solved. Why not? w. II. w.

ELSEWHERE Mr.. Jesse Yarnell points
out the absurdity OF appeals to the tenn.
perance people to vote for TUFTS for
mayor when they have candidate OF
their own who embodiea their radical
opposition TO the countenancing OF the
liquor traffic in any shape. He says
truly that both Mr.. TUFTS and Mr.
Rowan are in favor of high license, and
that the Republican party has placed
itself on high license platform. The
frantic efforts of the Express to make
Mr.. Rowan out the candidate Of the
liquor interest are highly ridiculous.
The Democratic candidate has an
nounced that he will enforce the law as
it stands, and he has been far more
hearty and uncompromising in his atti-
tude on this matter than Mr.. Tufts.
AS Mr.. Yarnell pertinently suggeste,
people who are opposed to the drinking
habit ought, if they are consistent, to
vote the Prohibition ticket.

JACK TAR, at times, has opinions that
ought to be respected. The signal OBJ.
servers OF the United States army held
that the storm, as regards San Fran
cisco, was over on Monday. The skip
pers along the water front thought diff
ferently, and announced that, although
there might be lull in the wind and
rain for day or two, hurricane would
undoubtedly put in an appearance.
How correct they were the terrific havoc
OF Tuesday and Wednesday showed.
The wind attained velocity Wednesday
of 70 miles an hour. This is not tech
nically either hurricane or a gale. The
latter calls for velocity of sixty miles
an hour and the former for one hundred
miles. But it was betwixt and between,
and the extra twenty-eigbt miles an
hour were not missed. 1t was a good
thing for the seafaring people that they
acted on their own notions, and made
things tight and snug. The waves are
said to have broken clear over the Cliff
house balcony, and the spray dashed

over that edifice and drenched the road
way on the other side. Even Adolph
Sutro's pretty domain suffered damage
from the Wind. 1t is doubtful If any
such weather dispensation has been
known since the American occupation
of California, although '49 itself was a
wear memorable for storms.

when Hot Springs Wore First Discovered.
America had been discovered and the
colonies were feeling their way toward
the Pacific ocean In the vanguard was
the famous expedition Of Lewis and
Clarke, which went overland to the
mouth of the River Columbia. John
Golfer was hunter in this expedition.
and by some chance he went across the
mountains on the old trail of the Nez
Perces Indians which leads across the
divide from the Missouri waters to those
of the Columbia
When he came back from the Nez
Perces trail he told most wonderful tales
of what he had seen at the head of the
Missouri. There were cataracts of scald-
ing water which shot straight up into
the air; there were blue ponds hot enough
to boil fish; there were springs that came
up snorting and steaming, and which
would turn trees into stone; the woods
were full of holes from which issued
streams of sulphur; there were canyons
Of untold depth with walls of ashes full
Of holes which let out steam like a loco
motive. and there were springs which
times would burst like a bomb.
Every one laughed at Golfer and his
yarns, and this place was familiarly
known as Golfers He'll But for once
John Golfer told the truth and the
truth could not easily be exaggerated.
But no one believed him, When others
who afterward followed him over the
Nez Perces trail told the same stories,
people said they had been up to "Col-
ter's He'll" and had learned to e.-Da-

Doom, by which he was taken from the
stage at the muzzles of a half dozen
pistols, held in hand by as many white

their faces be seen and then treated to
the indignity, the most humiliating that
can be inflicted upon. Chinaman, of
having his cue cut off. The Chinese are
here by right of treaty and are entitled
to the protection of the government,
notwithstanding the fact that they are a

proper way to treat Chinaman is to
let him alone. The best way to get rid
of him is not to employ him or patronize

T. A. Wood, the level headed real

that one manufacturing establishment,

hundred men the year round, is wor,h h
more to a community than whole fleet
of ships would be, lured to the wharves
by artificial process, at an expense of
100000 wrung from the taxable proper
ty holders in the hope of getting the
government to reimburse them, at the
expense of much more worthy and
needed improvements. AS Mr.. Wood
says: Do like Winnipeg did. Three
years ago she had no factories. A purse
of $300,0 was raised to loan at per
cent to those who would start factory
Today she IS the greatest manufacturing
center in all the land. Portland has
every advantage as a manufacturing

employment to, even if it were 1900, 600.

Somehow we gained an impression
that the Telegram was about as fair and

table; but the following paragraph
which appeared in that journal yester-

Hermann as a bill-introducer has been a
shining success. He will introduce a
bill for anybody over 21 years old or any
locality inhabited by voter. But it is
complained that none of his bills ever

we'll" Were we disposed to be severe
we would call this maliciously false.

democrat in Hermann's district, and it
scarcely becomes the Telegram to engage

To those who profess TO think that the
duty on wool has diminished the price,
the state of the cotton market may be
commended for examination. There is
free trade in cotton, yet there has been
vastly greater decline, in the price of
&C tton than of wool. The cotton grow
ers of our Southern states say they are
ruined by the low prices of the present
year. The cause is the enormous supply
thrown upon the markets of the world.
Wool and cotton and silver, and all pro-
ducts, are subject to the same law.
Silver is lower than it ever was before,
because there is greater abundance of it.
Our tariff on wool does not control the
wool market of the world, but it does
assure to our wool-growers better
prices than they would obtain if free
trade in wool prevailed. Why does the
manufacturer, who still desires pro-
lection for his goods, insist on having
free wool? Solely because he wants
cheaper wool, and knows he would get
1t if the duty were removed.
