The announcement is made that Sir
Julian Pauncefote's very commonplace
title of envoy extraordinary and minis
ter plenipotentiary has been raised to
that of ambassador, and it is further
said that President Cleveland is author
lied to confer the same rank upon our
representative at London. But what
benefit is to be derived from affecting
these foreign mannerse The United
States has had neither ambassadors nor
cabinet ministers because the necessity
for the titles has never been shown.
No matter what may be the
presidents power in this matter, the
change would be undemocratic as we'll
as useless. The most aristooratio ad.
ministration in Il history was that of
George Washington and even he had no
better use for ambassadors than for
other foreign frills.

Col. ELLIoTT +. SHEPARD occupied i,
unique position among the public mer
of our time. His newspaper continu
ally preached ~sanotity in politics, but
the oolonel's republicanism was SO unre.
lenting that he could readily excuse cor.
ruption when practised by his own
party. Indeed, his religious daily pro-
fessed a greater hate for a democrat
chan for the devil. He was misplaced
in politics and because he could not
make the world what he wished, was
inclined toward abuse Of those with
whom he differed. He will be greatly
missed in religious and charity circles,
where he was a helpful force in the work
for which he was best fitted. Through
a portion of the Vanderbilt fortune, in
herited by his wife, Col. Shepard
founded many charities and relieved
much distress; and it is hoped that he
enjoys the reward which should come
to a man whose deeds were as good as
his intentions, even though his views Of
many affairs we're mistaken.

THE annexation movement in Canada
may, after all, be only a bluff to secure
necessary concessions and assistance
from the mother government. II this is
the object, the move is meeting with
some success. The Birmingham cham
Der OF commerce recently passed q reso-
luton indorsing the action Of the Cana
dian parliament in demanding more
trade reciprocity with the home govern
ment. 1t is said that this movement is
likely to be encouraged by other COM
mercial associations and thus it may
happen that Uncle Sans people will be
only strengthening Canada to their own
disadvantage by insisting on annexa-
ton.

THE WEATHER.
coon START.

In great form last evening. The prima-
ries in all wards were largely attended
and.the enthusiasm was quite equal tc
that of last year. With the exception
Of the First, where there was friendly
rivalry, the various aldermanio candi-
dates were nominated without opposi-
ton. There was no bitterness, no fac
tional fighting, nothing but the best Of
feeling and q determination to choose
the best men and land them first under
the wire. It was q fine start and sufi-
Gent evidence that the party will stand
solid for good government in Helena
next year.
The aldermanic ticket is made OF the
best material. The candidates are
known throughout the city as clean.
honest and able men, capable of hand
ling the important duties attached to
the office. In the First ward democrats
showed good sense in re-nominating the
veteran "watohdog of the treasury"
Marcus Lissner. 1t is not necessary to
rehearse his qualifications for the coun.
Gil. No man In Helena is more familiar
with the city's affairs. He has served in
the council longer than any other men,
Der and has proved an industrious,
energetic and alert officer, watchful
of the city's business and always ready
to promote the best interests. The peo-
pie of the First ward will stand by him
as they have before.
E. L. Flaherty is one of Helena's
young men who may be always counted
on the right side. He has built an en-
viable reputation for strict attention to
business and will prove a useful and
hardworkIng alderman.
The democrats Of the Third unani-
mously nominated J. M. Peterson be-
cause he is we'll known as a worthy and
popular citizen, one who will give neces-
eary time and attention to aldermanic
duties.
August Weisenhorn has long enjoyed
high standing among Helena's business
leaders. He was once honored with the
nomination for mayor. He ia fitted in
every way to assist in the city govern
ment and will receive the vote of all
citizens of the Fourth ward who believe
in electing the best men to the council.
W. E. Cox has been first in all move
ments for Helena's progress and will
work on the same lines in the council.
He is one Of our most successful bust
ness men and is never found wanting
when active. energetic and public
spirited mon are demanded.
Thomas Davidson is we'll known as
the manager of q large and successful
business and is therefore capable of all
aldermanic trusts. lie is very popular
with all classes and will run like a race
horse in the Sixth.
The nomination OF an alderman in the
Seventh ward was left with the ward
ward committee and will be announced
later.
1t is a ticket that will command tho
respect and support OF all good citizens.
Now, then, altogether for the election OF
every candidate. 1t can be done if we
stand straight to the mark.

academic department in 1878. and after

With the primaries over and ths dele
gates to the city convention selected, the
question arises who will the democrats
place In nomination for mayor, city treas
urer and police judge2 For the may
orally but n name is mentioned, that of
John c. Curtin. He is the choice not only
of the democrats, but of tho conservative
people OF the city as we'll, and in nominal
ing him the democrats have the belief that
they will only be obsyinR the popular will.
For city TREASURED the two leading can
didates are w. F. Rector and c. B. Garrett.
Both are competent and each is fully quail
lied to fill the Office. From now until
Wednesday the contest between these gen
t!emen, while it will be lively, will be with
out bitterness. cas- each recognizes the good
qualities Of the other.
For police judge two names are men-
tioned-T. E. Crutoher and Eugene @.
Boone. Both are lawyers and each is quail
flied to all the Office to the satisfaction of
the public.

Of Mayor Curtin.
Democrats and Republicans who Arc
willing to Run for City Treasurer and
for Police Magistrate.


With the holding Of the democratic
primaries last night tho local political
campaign may be ssid to be fairly opened.
The populists held their primaries a week
ago, but theE have not set any date for
sneir city convention. 30 that their work SO
far has been only preliminary. though in
most OF the wards they have made nomina-
lions for aldermen. To-day the p~opulist
delegates and alternatss will meet to dis.
russ tho situation and TO set o date for thoir
convention. II is generally understood that
they are not unanimous on the proposition
to nominate a full city ticket. and that
they will only do 10 in case neither OF the
old parties nominate men they can endorse.
Tomorrow night the republicans will hold
their primaries and after that the battle
will be fairly begun.

The high character Of the nominations
for aldermen made by the democrats last
night would indicate that they this
year propose to make a clean sweep, bv
putting up as candidates mon whom all
good citizens can support. In the frs.
Alderman Lissner will be re- elected, becauss
his record made in the council through sew
ersl years Of services has made him strong
and stsadfast friends. without regard to
party. In the second Ed l.. FL .herty has
friends enough TO send him to the council.
j. M. Peterson, in the Third. is q
business man who knows the needs
of the ward. and he will be the rep
resentative of all classes of people in the
council. A. Weisenhorn has lived so long
in the Fourth and has done 60 much to
build up manufa cturine enterprises in the
CITY that with HIM it is only a question Of
majority. w. E. Cox will have a good
stiff fight in the Fifth, but his public spirit
and enterprise are so we'll known to the
residents Of the ward that political lines
will not be regarded in his case when they
go to the polls April 8. In the Sixth a rep.
resentative citizen, in the person Of Thomas
Davidson, was selected. With Hanley and
Davidson in this council the residents OF
that ward know their interests will be
faithfully looked after.

The p7ettiest contest. however, is that for
police judge. Judge Gage is anxious to
succeed himself. while E1-Justice of the
Peace G.. w. Fleischer wants tho office also,
and to use his own words, he proposes to
have a reckoning" In other words the
Judge has staid by the republican party
since 1864, and he now wants to see how
they will stay by hin in th!sc contest for the
police maRist ate nomination. Another
prominent candidate. and one who ia
strongly endorsed By members of the bar in
his " party. is John M. Mcdonald. at
present assistant United States district
attorney. With Mcdonald or Fleischor as
the republican nominee. and Boone or
Crutcher as the democratic candidate, the
lawyers would bo sure of one of their pro-
fession getting the office. But Judge GsQe
has the strongest sort Of a following in his
party. and he may force the republican at
tofneys to choose between a lnymsn who
has hold the Office for q year and a demo-
cratic attorney.

The republicans are having a great time
in getting the consent of a popular man to
take the mayoralty nomination. Il. Look
ey'a friends keep his name to the fore all
the time, but the bulk of the party do not
IN him. D. A. Cory has positively de-
clinod to allow the use of his name, as has
F. T. Sterling. Banker HersLtield is not
only willing but is alleged to be anxious to
make the race, and in order to give the lie
to statements made during the senatorial
campaign that he could not be elected to
any Office, is said to be willing to put up''
the sinews of war in a large amount to carry
the city. But even with the promise of
lavish campaign expenditures. there is a
largo element among the republicans who
are opposed to Mr.. Hersbfield's candidacy
and these are now making @ strong effort to
have G. B. Jacquemin allow the use OF his
name in the convention.

THE MISSES ALBU.
Their Concert at Kawaiahao is An.
other Success.


There was goodly audience at
the Misses Albus' concert for the
benefit of Kawaiahao Church last
night. Pupils of Kawaiahao Semi
nary, Kamehameha School and the
Reformatory School were admitted
at reduced rates and in each case
attended as body. The Misses
Albu were encored in every number
they sang, and in most cases either
repeated part or gave an extra piece
in response. Several of the numbers
being sacred classical, Prof. Berger
played the accompaniments thereto
on the church organ, with good
effect. Miss Rose Albu, after a fine
rendition of "Entreat me not to
leave thee" from Gounod's "Ruth,"
sang humorous love ballad in blithe
and sparkling style. After voicing
Handel's "Angels ever bright and
fair" thrillingly, Miss Albu replied
to recall with "Aloha Oe," to the
great delight of the auditors, who
had to have more of it. Miss Rose
Albu gave her promised Hawaiian
song-"Like no a Like-in reply to
an encore for Bales "Good night
beloved" and while all applauded
the natives went wild, nothing but
a repetition satisfying them. The
ladies were at their best in the duets,
the first being "He shall feed his
flock" from Handel's oratorio, "The
Messah," and the second, 81 know
a bank whereon the wild thyme
grows" concluding tho concert.
Tho audience refused to bulge from
their seats until a verse was re-
peated.
Mr.. Charles Booth contributed
two songs in his rich tenor, cava-
tina Of Flotow and a serenade of
Schubert. Sig. l.. Barsotti gave a
delightful piccolo solo, also sang
"Aly pretty maiden" in good style.
The large string orchestra of the
Government band led by Prof. H.
Berger did excellently in their two
overtures, going through the rather
intricate parts of "Nabucco" by
Verdi with marked precision at the
opening OF the second part.

Ruling Passion of the Bar.

j. A. Magoon walked out of the
Judiciary Clerks Office this morning
with the editor of the BuLLETIN's hat
in his hand and his own capital
piece on his head. When he had
got down stairs and saw the p. G..
sentry at the door with a gun, the
lawyer suddenly regained his pre-
senco of mind and retreated upstairs
to restore tho unconsciously stolen
property. The first the owner Of
the hat knew of his narrow escape
from bareheaded destitution was
when he returned to tho Clerks
office and found everyone there
laughing over the lawyers funny
business. 1t was such novel thing
to see lawyer making such prompt
restitution Of stolen property.
