WE have received a letter from John
johnson, the famous oliver Eating"
johnson of former days. lie refers the
association Of. his name with that of
Frank Miles, the poet scout, and de.
eires to correct false impressions which
may have arisen in the minds of the ig-
norant. Hutchinson says that he is
trying to- quit killing Indians and eat
ing their livers; that he was never one
of the blood and thunder scouts but
was always a man who could be de-
pended upon, and requests that hereaf-
ter his name will not be associated with
hard characters. He adds the hope
that Miles will do we'll at the Worlds
fair, but fails to see why the latter
should be anxious to diet on a Chicago
policeman. We hope this explanation
will prove entirely satisfactory to our
esteemed fellow citizen. We congratu-
late him on his abandonment Of Indian
livers. They are not needed in the
menu Of a good healthy Montanian and
SO long as Mr.. johnson is trying to live
without them we ehall offer our best
encouragement.

IT seems that the various criticisms on
the Worlds fair management and the
punches under the Chicago jaw. admins
tered by the New York Sun were mere
pleasantries after all. The fact that Chi
a z papers were too dense to see this has
made it necessary for our New York
contemporary to come out with a square,
toed Acknowledgement.
"As far as we know. there exists in New
York to-day bpt one sentiment with respect
to the White City that Chicago has created.
The desire is as sincere as it is universal,
that the enterprise nay prosper from
opening to end; that it may escape the
flies; that Chicago may profit by it to the
full extent of reasonable and legitimate
gain, and that the yarns about her intention
to fleece the innocent and confding from
other parts of she union and of the world
may prove to be base libels. Hurrah for
Christopher Columbus! Hooray for Chi
cago!"
Yes, and hooray for the Sun! 1t is the

ONE Of the results of the new Missis-
sippi law for the qualification of voters
is the inability OF many saloon keepers
to secure licenses. The law requires
that a petition signed by a majority Of
qualified voters shall be necessary to
secure this. 1t happens, however, that
the illiterate whites and negroes who
constitute the greater part of the states
ELECTORS are not qualified votes, and as
a consequence are unable to sign the
petitions. In most Of the Mississippi
towns the voters have refused to sign
and thus it happens without any agita-
ton on that line, Mississippi has be-
come almost a prohibition state.

directed United States collectors of GUS

special vigilance to prevent the shipment
of arms and ammunition from the United
States to Cuba. This action was taken at
the request of the Spanish minister at
Madrid. This explains the Madrid dis
patch received yesterday. 1t seems that il
ia not a complaint against Spanish fllibus-
tiers, but a request fer the exercise of
special vigilance IN the part Of the United
States to prevent the shipment Of arms and
that this request has been promptly met.

Congress and the Conference.

WASHINGTON. Nay 6.--It is announced
that the ~postponement Of the monetary
conference until November lie looked upon
as atfording another indication OF the presi-
dents purpose to call congress in extra seq
sion ea,ly in tho fall. 1t has been insisted
upon by some European delegates to the
conference that n definite proposition on
the silver question should originate with
the United States. The assembling OF con-
gress in extra session in September will
afford time for the intentions of that body
in regard 10 the sherman law and silver
question generally to be clearly made
known before the meeting Of tbs confer
ence. 1t is thought quite possible that
upon the action OF congress may depend
the question whether the conference will
%reoonvene. II is now said that Gov. Mo-
Creary, OF Kentucky will DO unable TO con-
tinue to serve upon the commission. He
has been led to this conclusion in part BY
the fact that Mrs. McCtenry's health will
not permit her to accompany him abtond.
