THE MINES OF MONTANA.

The MINES OF MONTANA; Their History and
DEVELOPMENT to Date. BY James Arthur
Macknight. Printed by the G.. X. Wells
Company.
The author is fully desc wing of all COM
pliments that may be given for an exceed
inRly valuable and interesting compilation.
Nothing like this volume has been pub
lished before. 1t will take a high place in
the histo icsl literature of Montana and
will rank az an authority in the history of
the great mining industries OF the state.
On every page it shows evidence of careful
and conscientious labor and il moro CON-
plete in detail than could have been antici-
pated under tho conditions. Several diff
culties are encountered in the preparation
of n history of Montana mines. First Of
all, there is We little published data to
form a basis, ABIDE from the reports of in
speotors from time to time; secondly. mine
owners are always mote or lesss reluctant
in furnishing. information, and. finally, the
number Of mines and extent of territory
covered demand extraordinary labor in
making an accurete and detailed account
of all properties. And yet, with these OBJ
stacles Mr.. MacKuight has succeeded most

In the Improbable event of the next
election being thrown into congress,
constitutional hair-splitters would find
themselves busy. The democratic house
would elect the president and the re-
publican senate the vice-president.
Here the trouble would come in. Grover
Cleveland and Whitelaw Reid are both
inhabitants of the state OF New York.
The constitution says, in the clause gov
erning the action OF the electoral col
lege, 1.-THE electors shall meet in their
respective states and vote by ballot for
president and vioe-president, one of
whom at least shall not be an inhab-
liant Of the same state with them
selves" The constitution does not say
whether the same limitation is placed
IN congress. Some authorities proba-
bly, would hold that the trainers of the
constitution intended to prevent the
election of the president and vice. presl-
dent from the same state in any event.
Others would hold with equal force that
in the absence Of any prohibition con-
gress could do as it saw fit. There is
just enough uncertainty about it to
make the election very interesting If
congress should have to settle it.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Evening Post says that our
Carter probably will not accept the
craftsmanship Of the national committee
because he intends to come home and
set up the pins to elect himself United
States senator from Montana. The cor
respondent is misinformed. The repub-
licans of Montana do not care to have
Carter in the senate. They are going to
push him for secretary of the navy when
Mr.. HARRISON ~reorganizes his cabinet.
Mr.. Carter is a true friend of the north
west, and the republican party in Mon
tana is unanimously in favor Of that
navy yard at Port Orchard. They in
tend to have it or break a trace.

Gratis by good majorities. The repub-
licans have the task before them OF re-
gaining control Of these states. They
lost them in 1900, when they made the
Mckinley tariff and the force bill the
issues. Has public sentiment In these
states undergone such change in two
years a. to give them hope that these
issues will bring victory nov whore they
brought defeat theny Certainly there
ia no evidence Of it on the surface. Rev
olutions do not go backwards. The Nc
Kinley tariff grows more odious every
day. The force bill finds hardly an
a%pologist or defender, except in Ben
jamin Harrison. Certainly no demo-
crat within the borders Of the battle
states is going to vote for Benjamin
Harrison. Wherever discomfort with
the democratic candidates is manifested
it shows no leaning toward the party Of
the Mckinley tariff and the force bill.
The little strength. the peoples party
gets from democrats does not help re-
publicans. For every democratic voter
who votes for Weaver five republicans
will vote for him. This means that there
is a large body of former republicans who
condemn the policy Of the republican
party.
In other words, there are two polit-
ical parties in the field against the rob-
Der tariff and the force bill. Whatever
difference may exist between these
two they are n unit against the rspub-
lican party. It is impossible under such
conditions that the republican party can
win in November. Grover Cleveland
will be the next president Of the United
States.

The republican sheriff of Pittsburg
tried very hard to drag Gov. Pattison
into interfering unwarrantably on behalf
of the Pinkerton thugs at Homestead.
He was afraid to stand by the action of
Carnegie and wanted to throw all re-
sponsibility on the governor. The latter
did his duty IN refusing to interfere I'M
til the sheriff had exhausted his powers.
The sequel proved that the governor
had a level head. The trouble was over
in a few hours and the employment of
troops was wholly unnecessary. Gov.
Pattison has earned the approval OF all
right thinking people by his considerate
and manly course.

Representative JOHNSON, of North
Dakota, in reply to inquiries as to
whether Grand Forks will get its public
building appropriation this year, says it
is the intention of the house not to pass
any public building bills at this session.
We hope this is not true, but fear it is.
The Helena bill is we'll up on the calen-
dar and will be reached if any bills of
this character are passed. At any rate
it is in good position to receive early &C.
ton next winter.

The report that the bar of gold ,ecently
shipped from Harqua Hala was the largest
ever made is disputed by the Mining aud
Scientific Press, which says that several
larger bars have been made. The Spring
Valley gold mine. Cherokee Flat, Butte
county, California, made one valued at $780,
600 some years ago. One was made at Hell
ena a few years since valued at 800, OO0.
The biggest one ever made was that of
Moth bloomfield gravel mine, Nevada
county, California, in 1892. It weighed 5114
pounds troy, and its value was $ll4.OO
This WAS from IL single cleanup of the

To most PERSONS, says the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin, tho summer season is Il
time of excitement instead of quiet md
rest, as it should be. With the approach Of
warm weather most people begin to lay
plans for vacations and ~enjoyments. and il.
a little while have worked themselves into
a state of excited anticipation. Not only
this, but they unde' take excursions requir-
ing considerable travel, either by land or
water. SO that during the heated term they
have completely departed from the quiet
paths Of life trodden 80 steadily all the rest
of the year.
jority of people lose weight during the
summer. This loss is generally accounted
Tor by the smaller quantity or food con-
sumed during the warm weather, but we
should say that the excitement incidental
to vacations and travelling was as much
responsible for it a. the other. 1t is a
question If our Indian summer, the most
charming season Of the year, would not
make a better vacation period for the ma.
jority of people.
