here. But there are several other things to
be considered. 1t is not impossible that a
little different arrangement for burning the
Ignite would add considerably, as is claim
ed, to the heat units produced by the COM
bustion of a given quantity. 1t is not i'm
possible that arrangements might be made
with railroad carriers that would facilitate
its introduction here. Nothing in either
direction ought to be left untried. 1t is,
moreover, no doubt true that it would pay
us well to use the North Dakota fuel even
if there were no direct economy in it. The
immense local gain to be derived from the
impulse given to our trade would more
than compensate the community as a whole.
A cheap fuel is a great desideratum. But
a fuel that can be had in exchange for the
commodities that we produce or sell is a
better thing for us than n not SO cheap,
which has to be bought from those who do
not buy of US. Add to this the blessing of
asfuel which burns without smoke, and we
have a list of incentives strong enough to
induce us to adopt the new fuel il il is a
possible thing. Effort and experiment to-
ward that end ought not to cease.
The Press argues sensibly, and it
should be apparent to the manufacturers
of the twin cities that it is wiser to pur-
chase fuel from a state whose trade is
tributary to them, ever should it's use be
attended with some slight disadvantages.
For every dollar expended in North
Dakota for fuel, another goes back to
the twin cities, for manufactured articles.
The reciprocal features of the trans.
action should be considered. The North
Dakota coal industry, when rendered
more active by the patronage of Mime
sofa factories, means the b%enefting of
the whole state, and the latter means an
increased trade for st. Paul and Mime
apolis. This should be we'll considered
by the business men of st. Paul and
Minneapolis, in deciding this matter. 1t
is a question Of the patronizing of a
home industry, and a favorable decision
to the North Dakota fuel g a
mutual benefit.

IT is estimated that the loss of prop.
erty by fire last year throughout the
whole country reached the enormous
sum Of s167, 100000. This is the result
OF careful estimates made by a commit.
tee of the national board of fire under.
writer's, and shows an increase of s16,.
100000 over the total given for 1892. II
is not to be- wondered at that fire in.
surance companies are more careful in
assuming risks.

The possibilities of the principles of
the telephone are so great that they form
an interesting field for the Investigations
and experiments of electricians the world
over. The possibility of using the water
as a method of telephone communica-
ton is now being developed, and it is
almost a certainty that before long NOV
ing ships will be able to communicate
with one another, although they are out
side the range of vision, and that a
warning of the approach of icebergs,
derelicts or other ships will be given by
electrical apparatus attached to vessels.
Dr.. Huber of New York, has invented a
sea telephone, wherein the sound waves
passing through the water cause metal
strips to vibrate, and the vibrations are
transmitted by wires to microphones,
which greatly intensity them. A device
called an indicator shows the intensity
of the sound vibrations, and this gives
an idea of the distance of the object
causing them. By turning to the appara-
tus, which is intended to be attached to
the bottom of a vessel, the direction
from which the sounds come can be de-
termined. By an ingenious device all
sounds made by the ship itself are elimi-
mated, and only those made by extran-
eous bodies are felt and recorded. By
ringing an electric bell attached to the
apparatus, sound waves are spread in all
directions, and are reflected back upon
meeting an obstruction. When they are
reflected back they effect the membrane
of the apparatus, and give notice of the
approaching danger. Icebergs and sub
merged wrecks can be detected in this
manner. The inventor declared that he
was able with his apparatus to discover
the presence of any obstruction within
ten miles.

One might almost infer from Mofet's
bilious attack this week, that he had
Deer an unsuccessful applicant for q
position in the public schools. Having
abused every person, and every local Of
fetal who did not happen to sleep in the
same political bed with himself, until he
has fully established a reputation for
himself, as an adept in the slanderlne
line, he this week devotes his attention
to the school board, and now makes it's
members the recipients of a half column
or so of vindictive and u~nwarranted
abuse, simply because, as nearly as can
be discovered from an analysis of Moi
fet's yelpings, they have chosen to en-
ploy two of Bismarck's W daughters
young ladies who have been reared,
and educated in the city, and who are
known to all the citizens of the city, az
competent to fill the positions to which
they have been employed with as great
a degree OF skill as any outside appll-
cants-to teach at the public schools.
Moffet sees curdling visions of political
bugs, serpents, and horrid, hydra-headed
monsters OF various descriptions, in this
simple action of the board, and as usual,
his anxiety for the intense goodness and
morality of the community, finds vent in
piteous walls, alternating with an abuse
altogether vindicuive and cowardly, and
characteristic Of the very narrow intellect
from which it emanates. He sees, also,
an opportunity to vent his spleen al
supt. Perkins. The public schools in
the city have been well managed under
the direction of the school board, as car
be proven by those who choose to visit
them, and the board has chosen teachers
with none but the best interests of the
schools in view.

IF the postal note is to be done away
with, let us hope that the new style of
money order with which it is to be re-
placed, will be a little less complex in
execution and payment than the old.
Nothing is sadder, under the regime of
the present system of money orders, than
to see an innocent and unsuspecting
person on his way to purchase one. He
enters the office, perchance with fash
ing eye, and serene countenance, and
elastic step, and he energies with his
money order, prematurely aged, his
shoulders bowed, his hair silvered in
spots, and with a scared and hunted Ok
preston on his face, from his narrowing
experience with Uncle Sans fine haired
system OF transmitting cash. Next to a
census bulletin, the large, three-ply
poster, upon which the applicant for a
money order has to fill in his biography,
a brief history of his antecedents, his
personal appearance, religious belief,
n a revised list of his birthmarks, is
the most formidable document in ex-
lstence. The buyer dare not rush in, with
a wild and reckless bonhomme, and sing
out, "GIme a money order!' He is
forced to take his pen in hand, and, after
exposing to the hardened money order
clerk his whole family history, to indite a
respectful request to the government,
that it will descend from it's extreme
dignity for a brief period, and conde.
scend to sell him one of the orders.
Then he swears to support the constitu-
tloE OF the United States, and to various
other incidental avowals of allegiance.

with a trembling request that he may be

croaches upon the God-given liberties
OF Inc American people. Daily contact
with 1t has tended IN a great degree tc
bring the average of human life down tc
SO low a figure as it is at present. Let
us nave a new money order, which shall

a family affair out of it as now.

The New York Tribune gives the gist
of reasons for the latest tariff measure,
when it says: "The latest tariff bill is
declared by The New York Times to be
ian itemized bill of sale of the votes of
various democratic Senator's the franz
ing of which must have been revolving
and exceedingly distasteful to any
honorable democrat True, submission
to blackmail is usually revolving. But
the democratic party yielded to black
mailers when it took the income tax
from the populists. It found the house
bill beaten by seventeen votes in the SEN
ate, and yielded to blackmailers again
when it suffered the trusts to dictate the
sugar and whisky taxes. It found the
finance committees bill beaten by five
votes, and then surrendered as much
protection as any democratic senator de.
handed. A document of the same ma.
ture was drawn up at Appomattox, when
the confederate army surrendered to
Gen. Grant. This new bill embraces the
articles of capitulation of the democratic
party. Therein the party confesses that
it has failed to frame or pass a demo
cratic tariff. The fall elections forced
the partial surrender to populists, and
the spring elections have forced surren.
der to protectionists. The party aban.
dons ad valorem duties, and now as.
ser:s that its latest bill will not deprive
any industry Of needed protection. II
SO, it is a half populist, half-republican
bill-uot democratic at ALL"

A WORD WIN YOU

The voters Of Helena probably will
have made up their minds how they in
tend TO vote before they read to-day 8
INDEPENDENT. At the same time this
paper would be remiss in its duties Il 1t
did not. in a last word, again call atten-
ton 10 the importance Of the issues at
stake. In all the years since Helena
has been a town, whichever party has
won in The municipal contests, the idea
that city affairs should be managed by
business men has prevailed. For many
years the vote OF the city on national
issues has been cast in favor Of the re-
publican party. But that has made no
difference with the majority OF our tax
paying citizens, who have voted for the
fittest men to administer their affairs.
This year we have had the remarkable
spectacle Of the chairman Of the repub-
lican national committee interfering
in our affairs, using threat and cajolery
to bring bis party associates into line,
and resorting to all the arts Of an artiul
politician to persuade his party friends
to make our municipal offices a party
vantage ground from which TO conduct
future operations. In the last dozen
years the democrats have won nearly
half Of the elections by taking the po-
sition that the whole body Of citizens
were equally interested in honest and
economical municipal management and
that partisan politics cut no figure.
Such is the situation that confronts
the voters Of Helena to-day. On the
one side is an ambitious senatorial aspi-
rant, seeking to control our CITY affairs
for bis own advancement; on the other
is a body of citizenry protesting against
any such idea Of city government, aud
seeking TO protect the taxpayers against
the schemes Of political adyenturers
and skyrooket politicians.
II is too late to elaborate arguments.
The situation by this time should be
clear TO every voter. Lawyer Weed is
not running on his merits as a candi-
date for mayor, but simply because he
is Tom Carter's man. Mr.. Bach is not
running as a democrat or as politician,
but simply as a business man.
1t is for the voters Of Helena 70 say
whether they wish TO hand their Offices
over to politicians TO be used FOR polit-
cal purposes or whether they want their
affairs adm Mustered in time when
economy and prudent management
should prevail by men who will accept
their duties as business trust.
Each man must determine this ques-
tion for himself

here, aud know that hio oily ways are
very winning. lie has been buslly per-
suading the republicans, including even
the friends Of Sanders and Power, that
i he ought TO be elected 20 the senate,
and the way to do il is {, raise the party
cry and get the republican majority
to the polls.
The democrats, as usual. have nomi-
mated first-olass ticket with an able
business man at It's head, and ask Tor
an endorsement Of the splendid admin
istTation Of Mayor Curtin. They ought
70 win on such proposition, but
whether they will do SO or not depends
upon whether republican business men
and taxpayers will support their ticket
To-day will settle that The election OF
the democratic ticket would have no
party significance, for this is not a dom
ocratic town. The election Of the re-
publican ticket would mean simply that
Carter had humbugged his party into
supporting his schemes. Back Of Car
ter's activity is also water deal, with
mouey in it il he wins. The five
year contract with the company
now supplying the city with
water expires this year and Carter
wants pull at it for his friends. The
election Of Weed would cut no figure,
50 far as Weed or the party are con-
cerned, for he is simply Carriers agent.
So the esteemed Standard can rest
easy. OF course 1t does not want TO see
the democrats win, for the election Of a
good business administration would give
Il no opportunity to assail this town. II
Carter makes II OF course the STANDARD
will point the finger Of scorn at us. But
that will not make any particular differ
ence.
