1t will hardly be claimed that the pay
ment of such taxes has caused the land
to more than double in value in six
years. Three weeks or so later the syn
dicate that had bought these lots from
Mr.. Morton again sold them for 81 ,500,-
900, at no cost to it over and above what
it had paid to Mr.. Morton except the
expenses of the sale.
What has brought this immense value
into existence? 1t has been shown that
shortly after the West India company
located on the southern extremity OF
Manhattan Island, and before any pub
| lie improvements had been made, GER
tain lot of land upon which no labor
had been exerted, had acquired value
and was sold for price. in common
parlance we say the land was sold, but
| this is only apparently true, for man
cannot produce land, therefore he can
not rightfully sell it, and as no labor
had been exerted on this land it could
not have been the results of labor thai
was sold. What was sold? The priv
| lege of using the land. What gave
value to this privilege? The presence
of population and the existence of com
munal life. What caused the existence
of the community? Manhattan lslant

The Butte Aggregation Too Much for tho
Amateurs.
M1sssynA, May 21.-[Special. THE Butte
base ball team arrived here on the delayed
train this morning and in the afternoon
went to the ball park and proceeded to wipe
the earth with the Missoulss. There we're
about 800 people on the ground. The game
was pretty one up to the last half OF the
fourth inning, when the Buttes fell onto
O'Brien. whose sore arm gave out, and with
the assistance Of errors pounded out ten
runs. The wound In the hand of Border,
the Missoula catcher. which he got at Butte,
caused his retirement from the game.
Campbell went in to pitch, and HaEpster,
who was in the audience, came in to catch.
The Buttes did not find Campbell very easy,
but through several dropped flies increased
their score seven more runs in the next four
innings. Neither side played good ball. but
the Missoulas in particular put up rocky
article. There were no brilliant plays in
the entire game, but several yellow ones.
The error column shows this. O'Brien will
not be able to pitch Tomorrow. but will
play short. Who will be in the box for
Missoula is not known yet. The Missoulas
are certainly playing out of luck all ound,
but will have to hire professional players
like the other towns if they wish to stand a
show for the pennant. Amateurs who work
every day cannot hope to cope with men
who make base ball their business. The
score by innings is as follows:
Missoula a..............1 OO22 200 O. 7

A Land Decision That Has been Changed

The local land office is in receipt of do
cision by the secretary Of the interior in the
case of Chauncey G. Stubbs against 7. H.
Kleinsch midi. involving the right to about
500 &C es in section two township ten north,
range two west, on French bar. Il. II.
kleinschmidt made desert land entry for
the tract in question on Nov. q 1892, and
on Jan. rs. 1885, made final proof and pay
nlent for it. On March 2, 1886, Stuhbs
filed an affidavit OF contest against the
entry and proof. alleging that tho land
prior to the time kleinschmidt filed on it,
was in such condition that it produced
grass in sufficient quantities TO make it
fairly profitable for grazing. He also
claimed that portions of the land produced
hay without artificial irrigation, He de-
MED that kleiusohmidt had irrigated the
land or raised any crops on it except the
native grass. He denied the construction
of the necessary bitches, and alleged that
tho final proof was false az to the work OF
irrigation. On March &, 1883. a hearing
was ordered on the contest and on Dec. 70
following the Helena land officers passed on
the case and recommended the cancellation
of the desert entry. klelnschmidt appealed
to tho commissioner of the land office, at
that time Croft, who dismissed the Stubbs
contest, thus reversing the Helena officers.
Stubbs then carried the case to the score
tary of the interior. who now reverses ths
commissioner and orders the klsins0hmidt
entry cancelled. The land is now very valu-
able, being right in the sapphire belt.

packed tho spacious building. The play
throughout was steadily good rather than

the same may be said of Ives,
though the latter played better

inning made l. Ives then made q small
score, and soon Sosson put together q
score of 12O. Ives followed by AZ. Up to
9:45 Slosson had made no good score but
had a total Of I'll, while Ives, by fair
scores, made total OF 240. Feeling was
displayed by the audience in favor Of the
Chicagoan. The later play became more
exciting and interesting. Ives be-
gan to lead and his confidence
returned. In the ninth he made some
brilliant strokes but broke on An easy shot.
In the thirteenth, Ives made another play

Towards the close Ives made squirt.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Ths silver men
will cut no insigni1cant figure in the no
tional convention at Minneapolis. Facts
are leaking out here which tend to chow
that the western republicans who are
scheme on foot to concentrate their entire
strength At Minneapolis and show to the
delegates there assembled that the white

There 10 every probability that = combina-
tion will bs made by the western states
which will center around Colorado a. the
head Of the movement. This scheme will
probably not be fully developed before the
delegates gather at Minneapolis, but that
such movement ID in progress is known to
be fact. II ia certain that Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada and perhaps
Kansas and other states will organize in
favor of q free silver showing at the CON
vention and that this combination will
gather strength from other sections of the
country 10 not doubted.
The silver men, as has previously been

Owing to the fact that the senator has so

ii is found, however. that the silver men arc
unable to muster enough strength to win

In this event. il 10 believed that their plan

An Article in tho Latter's Paper Creates
Something of n Surprise All
Over Europe.

lCopyright. 1892. New York Associated Press1
BERLIN. May 2l.---The absorbing topic Of
conversation in Amsric circles here is the
expulsion from the country of Herr Wess-
ltzki, director OF the AlleRe meine oorre-
spondsnz, for circulating alarming reports
concerning the Sultan Tuesday, with tho
intention, the Prussian officials declare, Of
destroying the entente between Berlin and
Constantinople, to the advantage of Rus
STA. Wesslitzkrs wife is a native of cen
trail New York and they entertained the
cream Of the American colony. Progress
ists are organizing a strong agitation to
abolish the extra vote power Of tho richer
GLASS, while the Freisinige Zeitung leads the
attack upon tne upper house of the Prus-
sian diet, which it says, it is impossible to
reform and must be abolished. Kumors
current Of a rapprochement between the
emperor and Prince Bismarck, in conse-
quence Of the reported fellcitous telegram
the emperor sent Count Herbert Bismarck
on his betrothal, gain little credence here,
as statements from reliable sources throw
doubt upon the alleged congratulations.
An article by Bismarck in the Hamburger
Nachrichten declares Italy should not be
forced, in her present financial weakness,
to increase her military strength, but should
be allo we'd to give the driebund what as
sstance she can. The article provoked
strong comments and will exercise enor-
nous influence in Italy. The article shows
that bismarck apprebends that unless tho
burdens are lightened a strong reaction Of
public opinion will occur in Italy, forcing
King Hunbert to withdraw from the drei-
bund. The utteranoes, while joyfully re-
ceived in Italy, had bad effect in Austria,
where the reduction in Italy's strength will
entail corresponding increase in their own
! army.
There is a strong feeling in Germany that
the fetes of the French Gymnastio society,
which occur at Nancy in June. will take on
an anti German character.
Government circles in Berlin and Wien ma
observe q very cool attitude toward the in
| ternatlonal monetary conference. The
Politische Correspondent says there ia a
lack of concerted programme, which may
lead to the conference being used for pur-
poses of agitation. 1t adds that it is .
question whether European states having
the old coinage system would do we'll TO
take part in the conference at all.

GREAT FALLS, May 2l.-[special. The
first game of the league season in this city
was played to-day between tho Great Falls
and Helena clubs. The weather WAS fine,
rather too warm. The attendance was
about 800 The train from Helena was
about Is minutes late. Il was met by
band Of music and carriages and tue boys
escorted to the hotels and afterwards pa
raded the streets, reaching the ball grounds
shortly before four O'Clock. The prelim-
nary practice occupied thres-quarters of an
hour and game was called at 4:45 O'Clock.
The grounds were in fair condition, al
though rather soft outside of the diamond.
The grand stand is not yet completed and
the hot san made tho spectators decidedly
uncomfortable before the game was over.
The crowd was well-behaved and did not
interfere with the players, except in the
seventh inning, when Sheets, third base
man for Great Falls. threw q wild ball over
the head of Comfy, first baseman. The ball
was stopped by spectator and tielded in.
1t was decided after a squabble that the
pitcher fielded the ball from his posito n
and put out base runner at third, ending
the inning in favor of Great Falls, which
but for the blocked ball would have been
in favor of Helena. 1t was batters' game
throughout.
Great Falls outplayed Helena. The lat
ter club is very weak in the box and behird d
the bat. The Great Falls short stop was
very poor but the battery good. Helena
was unable to hit Emerke effectively.
Twineham whojplaved right field for Great
Falls, was taken sick in the fifth and Mann

The Yellowstone Park.

E. r. Brown will give his illustrated ex-
position of the Yellowstone National park
at Ming's opera house next Wednesday
evening. magnificent list Of stereoptican
views has been prepared, and each view will
be explained by the lecturer. Mr.. Brown
has scent every season since 1886 in
Wonderland. and no man, probably. has a
better acquaintance with the park than he.
There are thousands of people in Helena
who have never visited the park, and to
those the exposition will be a great treat.
1t will also be very interesting to those who
have visited it to have the familiar scenes
recalled, while those who contemplate q
visit this year will have the opportunity OF
learning something about the wonders they
will behold.
This will be the first attempt ever made
to deliver All illustrated lecture on the
National park. Mr.. Brown has expended a
great deal OF money in preparing for it..
and is in every way fitted to give most
instructive entertainment. He starts in
Helena. and it is desit able that he be given
an enthusiastio start. He goes from here
to the sound, and then east, visiting all the
large cities. aud returning will spend the
winter in Helena.
