II WEATHER,
AN OFFICE TO BE RETAINED.

Before the proposition to remove the
office of building inspector takes tangl-
bic form it would be we'll to hear some
discussion. The buildings erected in
this city in 1890 were valued at $1,000
600; last year there was a slight falling
of, but the coming years will see Won
derful increase in the values OF i'm
proved property. 1t is desirable for the
public as we'll as individual safety that
the city should have an officer whose
business it will be to issue building per-
mits and see that the building ordi-
nances are enforced. Nearly every city
in the country Of the size OF Helena has
such an office and it is quite as impor-
tant that the building interests Of this
city should be looked after as we'll as
those of other towns. 1t is true that
the building inspector has very little TO
do during the winter months, but it is
suggested that q consolidation of his
with that of plumbing inspector can be
made so rs to retain the value of both
offices. The present city engineer is
also the plumbing inspector and it is
his business to inspect not only the city
plumbing, but all other plumbing when
requested. If the building inspector
could assume the duties Of both offices
he would earn his salary by actual work.
This is a subject which should COM
mand careful attention from the coun-
Gil. If the office Of building inspector
is to be continued his range Of duties
should be enlarged. 1t was shown last
year at the meeting of the Ammerican
Board of Underwriters that more than
60 per cent. Of the fires in the country
for the year were caused by defective
fues. The officer who is to look after
the building in this city should be en-
powered to inspect every structure and
his suggestions should receive imme-
diate action. If such an arrangement
. can be made whereby his duties will in
clude all necessary questions of build
ings and plumbing it is believed that he
will earn his salary.

A Hint to Tourists.

One does not have to know a language
thoroughly in order to get on in Europe.
French and German will see you through in
almost any part of the content. 1t is all
very we'll for persons 20 say that they are
unnecessary, because English ia spoken
everywhere. 1t is true that there are per-
sons who speak English in all parts of
Europe, but when you need them most they
are away. The cabmen do not speak Eng
lish; few OF the railway officials do; and
few of the restaurant walters. So you need
some French and German. The question
is. How much?
Well, Macaulay. the famous historian
historian and essayist, discovered that 400
words were enough to enable him to get
along in a foreign country. His method of
study was to read the Bible in the foreign
tongue with the aid of a dictionary and the
English version. But it used to take
Macau!ay about ten weeks to learn his 400
words. A better model is III. Louis Enault,
a noted French traveller, who found that
the sumo number of words-4OO--answered
all his purposes. He, however, learned his
400 words III q week. He had q good NOM
! ory, and could master about seventy words

Father Stick.

The logging in the army and navy is ap-
palling to think of. That carried on ashore
is a subject of some obscurity. The pun
ishment of whipping has never boon taken
out of our laws. Garroters and robbers
who arc violent are still logged and boys
are birohed. II know not when they ceased
to fog men through the streets at the cart
tail, or when the left. off floqeing women.
The practice certainly continued we'll into
ths century. In the prisons it was a COM
mon thing to fog men. As for the severity
of the laws protecting property, one illus
tration will suffice. What can be thought
of laws which allowed the hanging Of
two children for stealing n purse with two
shillines and a brass counter in it? Some
thing, however, may be said for Father
Stick. He ordered everything. directed
everything, superintendent everything,
Without him nothing was ever done,
nothing could be done. Men were logged
into drill and discipline, they were hogged
into courage, they were logged into obedi-
ence; boys were logged into learning; prem
tices were logged into diligence; women
were logged into virtue. Father Stick has
still his disciples, but in the last century no
was king.-From London Of Geo'ge the

COMING cLEyELAND,s WAY

The most significant occurrence in
the realms Of politics lately is the en-
dorsement of Mr.. Cleveland by the
Maryland democrats. 1t simply means
that Senator German, who is facile
princeps among the master politicians of
the democratic party, is for Cleveland,
and to carry the sequence a step farther
it means that the ex-president's nomina-
ton at Chicago is practically assured
SO far as affairs can be distinguished
at this time. Senator Hills chances
for nomination, if such ever existed,
were dependent entirely on the assis-
lance of German; but now that the lat
ter has come out for Mr.. Cleveland it
may be assumed that Hill will get over
to the right side Of the fence. While
the Maryland senator has made no per-
sonal declaration his right hand man at
a meeting Of the Calumet club in Balti-
more, which corresponds to Tammany
Hall in relative political Importance, in
troduced resolutions, of which the fol-
lowing is a part:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this body
that Grover Cleveland, being universally
regarded as the leading exponent of the
great principles adverted to, and having
already. by his coulse in the highest official
station, demonstrated to the country his
purpose to carry these principles to their
successful vindication and to give to the
people of the country an honest and incor-
ruptible administration OF it's affairs. thai
he should therefore be again selected by the
democracy of the union as its candidate fol
president, and that in this behalf this clut
pledges him its earnest and heartfelt sup
port.
1t is very evident that the democracy
at large has but n opinion concerning
the choice of a presidential candidate.
That Mr.. Cleveland is the great man O.
the party is as evidcnt as the fact that
James G. Blaine is the chieftain of the
republican organization. The opinion
prevalent at one time that CLEVELAND
would be opposed in the fall election b,
