Tags Star an item mentioning the
plan Mr.. Sweeney has come down
from Seattle 70 promote, namely,
establishing a brewery.
At the first glance il may seem
a good thing 10 attract SO much
capital here, but there may DO a
flaw in that conclusion. Ii it Is not
resident capital, then profits viii
DO carried out of the country, and
that is not much better for the
islands than nonresident land
lords in Ireland.
Under some circumstances, this
evil must DO borne, but it would DO
better for general trade, for all
other agricultural lines, if the
owners of all money in the sugar
interest lived here and spent their
money here.
This brewing scheme has this
drawback, but IL is not in itself
beneficent thing as the sugar bust
ness is.
III Is flOurishes, il viii take
larger advance upon first cost for
its wares than any other business.
The history OF breweries shows
that. But instead of giving some
thing useful in return, it is Ger
tainly a useless article, as those
who never touch it get on perfectly
well without IL, while it would be
easy 10 cite mischief enough aris-
ing from the use of beer, TO cause
any one to pause and consider be-
fore he helped forward any such |
scheme.
The writer hopes every one who
would object to having a brewery |
planted at his own door, viii In |
one way or another enter his pro-
test.
Il is poor policy to allow that
which debauches the people for
gain, still poorer to allow foreigners
20 send in their money for that
purpose.

Nh. EDITOR Il venture 10 draw
your attention TO very grave error
which, by inadvertence, must have
crept iHto your report of Mr.. w
y. A-mstGngs recent speech at the
Annexation Club.
Mr. Armstrong Is stated TO have
declared his belief that Mr.. Cieve-
land Is thoroughly honest man"
out this Is what your report makes
Mr. Armstrong say about himself:
While he was with Kalakaua In
Vienna. IN 1882, he met his old
friend VIM. Walter Phelps, then
American Minister 70 Austria, and
they discussed the question of the
future OF Hawaii Mr. Phelps adj
vocated annexation and insisted on
his Mr.. Armstrong;, seeing Mr..
Blaine on his return TO Washing
Ton, and took the trouble TO write
20 Mr. Blaine on the subject.
"He (Mr Armstrong;, did see
Mr. Blaine, and found that he took
4 warm interest IN the matter, but
President Garfield died at that
time and Mr.. Blaine left office"
You are no doubt aware that dur
ing the whole Of the time referred
% Mr. Armstrong was confidential
minister In attendance upon King
Kalakaus, and holding, therefore,
the most sacred position of trust
which one man could hold toward
another.
It IL, consequently, impossible
that Mr. Armstrong can have made
any such statement a. your report
alleges. or that the secret confer
ences can have taken place, az an
nounced, during the period when
Mr. Armstrong was placing his |
honor and faithfuIness at the ser
vice Of his sovereign.
II IL especially unfortunate that |
you have polished this report TO |
the larger audience which you say
g deserves.

Your 0bedient servant,

Butte. March G.-The woman. who,
after concealing her baby in a closet,
escaped from an officer last night, was
found about II o'clock this moIning two
miles below Silver Bow Junction, at
section house. She had walked on the
ties from Butte to that point and waited
there for the train to Anaconda. On
the train was an officer and as it slowed
down in response to the woman's signals
the officer alighted and took the Woman
in charge. He brought her back to this
city. and she is now in the county Jail
There Is great deal Of conjecture as
to who the woman can be, who was so
anxious to conceal the fact Of her moth
erhood as to murder her newly born
child aud run away. The name Of Mrs,
Mary Wilso. which she gave, is believed
to be fictitious. In search of her room
to-day small pocketbook was found
with the name Nellie NJ. Neff. Greeley.
Colorado. 1t contained aconductor's s
slip showing that she had purchased a
ticket from Anaconda TO Butte. Her
name was on her valise. but when first
arrested she tore the tag off and threw
4 it in the stove.
( She told an officer today that she
came here from Helena. where she had
lived for two years. She says she mar
ried and was deserted by her husband
She will not say who is the father of her
child The cJroner's jury was unable to
ascertain who killed the baby, but found
that the evidence pointed to the mother
| as the guilty party.

The Progress of Woman.

In all that goes to ameliorate the con
ditions of the human family. morally, So
cially. politically. or in material way. no
century of which we have any record
shines SO consplcuously as the present
Within the past hundred years the re-
publics of France and the United States
have been born: absolute monarcies have
been Except that Of RUSSIA gradually
hedged in, and their powers decreased:
the slave trade has been made piracy
serfs emancipated in Russia, and slavery
wiped out in our own country. The tele
graph and the.railroad with their civil
lizing influences. are children OF this cen
tury. The great benevolent and fraternal
movements have attained their greatest
force in our day. In our age. too, has be-
gun the emancipation of woman from the
prejudices which limited her scope of oc-
cupation and her right to a complete ed
ucation. She is now in all kinds Of buis-
ness and professions and the most splen.
did schools have been founded for the
benefit Of her sex. Political equality has
in many places, too, been conferred up
on her. The luxuriousness OF modern
travel, also, is largely due to the feeling
that nothing is to good or too dainty for
women. This it is which has led to
the sumptuousness Of the sleeping and
parlor cars operated on most lines Of rail
road. In the management Of the elegent
compartment sleeping cars in service on
the Burlington between st. Paul and
Minneapolis and Chicago, a new depart
ure has been taken-two compartments
are absolutely reserved for the exclusive
use OF ladies'. What convenience it is
for ladies travelling without escort or in
charge Of children. to have one of these
cosy boudoirs for their sole use, must be
tried to be appreciated. Tickets via

Fugitive Carey sighted.

LIVINGSTON, March S.-From private
adyices it is learned here to-day that
George l.. Carey, the defaulting cashier
of the Livingston National bank of this
city. has been located at Usage, Iowa.
No particulars are given. but as no arrest
was made il is believed that Carey made
his escape before the officers had time to
act. Carey left here last July, since
which time nothing has been known Of
his whereabouts. He is charged with
wrecking the Livingston National bank.

NEW CASTLE, April 1S-A point OF
much interest in the western part Of the
city for some time has been the high
bridge where Delaware street crosses the
Delaware railroad This is tho structure
which City Council recently allowed the
railroad company to raise three feet, after
emphatic protests and a long quibble
The railroad company, early this week,
finished It's part Of the work Of grading
draining aud tefording the long ap
proaches to the bridge-the latter having
been quickly raised after Council granted
permission Now the street bed in the
neiRhborb0od Of this bridge rs the best
dive way in,the city for light vehicles, and
the uplifting Of the bridge and subsequent
improvements have not done as much
damage as was ANTICIPATED by the anti
raisers. The change. OF oourse, has
placed the contiguous real estate deeper
in the valley, as 10 were, and has made
hauling with heavy wagon difficult, but
the property owners can easily improve
their holdings and the heavy teams
can more easily 20 around by
Young street aud the railroad station.
As the bridge stands now, no railroad
trainman's brains will be battered out on

street as he might have been had a grade
