The esteemed Miner is riehteously
indignant ut the foul and indecent at
tack on Butte and her people in the
Helena Journal. 1t cannot condemn
the course OF that fool newspaper too
severely to please the citizens of Helena
who have long been pestered and Of
Tended by it's existence. But the Miner
should know that the suppression of n
nuisance ID a very difficult matter. \
majority of the newspapers of the
United States have been shying things
at the head Of Mr., Russell Harrison for
tho past three years but have not suc-
ceeded in ex~tlnguishing him yet. The
citizens Of Helena should not be held
responsible for the young mans news
paper. They do not support it; # il
kept up by outside contributions from
the east. Our Butte contemporaries
should direct their wrath in the proner
channel and commiserate the people of
Helena rather han blame them for n
newspaper which is a detriment to the
town and the state.

certainly deserves 1t. On the question
Montana is most interested in, the free

staunch and true. He never lodged

curry favor with eastern leaders of the

A man prominent in these two cities has a
history. Some years ago he suffered with the
toothache. He suffered so much that at last he
determined TO have the tooth pulled, and he
did. But the pain of it was SO great that it
caused him to resolve that never again would
he have a tooth pulled. He kept his resolve
for four years. The other day he had the
toothache and suffered so much that some of
his friends got him to have the tooth pulled.
He went TO dentist whom he well knew,
who bad joked him some about his resolve to
steer clear Of dentists. He took gas and woke
up with the tooth gone. He had paid the
dentist and got on his wraps, and was going
through the door, when he happened to think
of the tooth.
Say, I'd like to look at that TOOTH" he
said.
well now, I'd been thinking of that, and
! washed the blood off it. Here it is" The
dentist had preserved for years an ancient
horses tooth as curiosity, and it was this
that he took from q drawer and showed the
Lewiston man.

the sufferer, with satisfied look. The tooth
was an inch across the top and very long.

of this wonderful agent to stick to a raw sur
face of flesh and suck the poison ont of il.
That is, the owners say SO. AS matter of fact,
no organic substance can suck except by the
aid Of machinery. Again. in 80 cases out of
100 the dog-bite are harmless. and there is no
poison to be sucked out. Thirdly, credulity is
one of the most effective cures in tho ma

where people have no real disorders. The
whole tradition of the maidstone comes from
the absorptive power of any anbydrous min

q process akin TO that of capillary attraction,
the water that il has lost-in the course of
centuries, perhaps-it will soak up again when
in contact with liquid. If one wishes to know
the action of the maidstone let him put piece of
dry clay or shale to his tongue. 1t will stick.
There is all there is to it. There are millions of
tons Of madstones in every State in the Union,

Proposed Reduction of the Mail Subsidies.
1t has been reported that in the coming Con-
gress good many expenses will have to be cut
down in order to escape a deficit, and one Of
the things which will fall under this list is the
cutting down of the appropriations for the mail
subsidies At the present time there five
subsidized lines running between this country
and South America On the first of December
the service will begin in two additional lines
On the first of next March another contract
will 20 into effect. OF the five lines running
at the present time three of the contracts are
for five years and two for 10 years. Nego-
tiatious for three new lines are now being made
but they will not go into effect until 1885, so it
is said. Nearly 100000 has been appro-
priated for the eight lines which will be in
running order by the beginning of next March,
and it is expected that with the new lines
which will 80 into operation by 1895, the yearly
cost of maintenance will be about 81 500, 000
On reliable authority, however, it is stated
that these contracts are legal, and that if Con-
gress refuses TO recognize the validity of them
that the matter can be brought before the
Court OF Claims and the Government forced to
recognize its obligations in the contracts.
