The Money Didn't Come.

We regret to learn that funds are not
coming in for the race meeting which
the citizens of Helena had proposed to
give. Naturally the public looks to
the capital city to lead off in such
matters-the signs are that there will
not be much racing in Montana dur
ing this year.
In Helena they took this question up
several days ago. The newspapers
urged popular support of a meeting.
A committee was appointed 10 solicit
subscriptions. but somehow the money
did not come pouring in. and the out
look for a season at the Helena park
isn't very bright.
our memory is that Helena had a
dashing time at the driving park last
year All Montana was a guest at the
races and the Northern Pacific helped
TO make the occasion brilliant by the
presence of hundreds whom the roads
receivers in bankruptcy carried free.
We had hoped that last November
success would stimulate our Helena
friends TO even greater effort for this
year. But, after all, the possession of
the capital doesn't appear to be Of very
| much account.

No Second Place for Him.

There are plenty OF republicans In
New York who may always be counted
on 10 look after Mr.. Morton's inter
ests: they get their word in where the
word is needed. A few days ago the
suggestion was started that Morton
would be a good man for second place
on the ticket, with Harrison or any
other available man for first place.
The Morton boomers are promptly at
the front with their refusal Of any ar
rsngement of this sort. They an
nounce that IL is first place or nothing
for Morton; and, in view of all that has
happened, IL is pretty safe to assume
that they speak by the card-that Mr..
Morton cares for a second term in the
Office Of vice president seems highly
improbable.
1t has been the practice with the
democrats to get their presidential can
didates in New York. Horatio Sey-
mour was selected in 1855. In 1872,
Horace Greeley and Charles OConor,
both Of them New Workers. were demo-
cratic candidates. In 1876 Samuel ].
Tilden ran. Hancock. in 1850. was a
Pennsylvania by residence. but es-
sentially he was New Yorker. Since
that year Mr.. Cleveland has been the
democratic nominee.
on the other hand. the republicans
never yet gave the presidential nomina-
ton to a citizen Of New York; some
good western man has always been
their preference. Three times. however.
the successful republican candidate for
vice president has been taken from
New York. William A. Wheeler
was nominated in 1876. Arthur in
1850 and Morton in 1858 Next year the
republicans may depart from their ira
dition and take Morton-he would have
abundant backing with the anti-silver-
ties. Morton will not play policy with
the money question as Harrison. Reed
and the rest Of them have tried to do.
Mr.. Mortons candidacy for the office Of
president is accepted by the public.
but you do not read in the newspapers
that the reporters are running Morton
down, as they have lately pursued Har-
rison in order 10 try 10 get candid
expression Of opinion on the silver
question.
1t is impossible TO reconcile Mr.. Nor
toms candidacy with the hopes and the
professions Of the silver republicans
If he happens to appear in the con-
vention next year with nominating
strength, there will be nothing left fol
the free coinage men 10 do but to wall
out Of the convention. Indeed. If they
care more for silver than for the party
lines, they will have to do that II tn,

rison at the head Of the ticket.

Readers East and West.

Some time ago, the Standard printed
the results of the first years work in
the history Of the Butte library. The
figures given at that time are the sug-
gestion of an interesting editorial talk
in last Sundays edition of the Phila-
delphia Press. which says: The re-
Gently printed report of the first years
work of the free public library of the
city Of Butte, Mont, shows so large
and discriminating a reading public in
that place that IL is worth comparing
with some older cities in the East
Butte has an estimated population of
80. 600 people. while Springfield, Mass.
has about $4,000 people, and Hartford.
Conn. about $1,000 people. The last
two cities contain probably as Guilt
waited a population as any cities OF
their size in the country. The general
opinion is that their percentage Of edu-
Gated. reading people is large. while
the contrary opinion is held concerning
cities in such mining states as Mon
tana. Let us see what information on
this point the total circulation of books
and the percentage Of different classes
Of books give"
The Press finds that the annual re-
port OF the Hartford public library for
1898 shows a total circulation Of llS.lS4
books. or at therateof a little more than
two books a year to each resident of
the city. Springfield's City library cir

Their Little Troubles.

As told in open session Of the Butte
council, the row over the appointment
of chief Of police is something like
this: A secret caucus was held. DEM
ocrats were invited to attend IT. and
they accepted the invitation. the may
or having agreed that he would name
for the office OF chief and man who re-
ceived nine votes. The pledge ex-
changed among those who attended the
caucus was that its proceedings should
be held in absolute secrecy. The eau
Gus was held about two weeks ago.
The council met last Wednesday
night. The mayor nominated for the
Office Of chief another man than the
one selected in the caucus. and the al
dermen confirmed him by a vote OF
nine 70 six. OF course. this result nre-
cipitated row. Bad faith was charged
on the mayor by some OF the republic-
ans in the board. Democrats who were
trapped into the caucus protested that
they had been made parties TO a
crooked deal Hot words were uttered
because the pledge Of secrecy had beer
violated. The mayor was asked II n,

Wheat on the Chicago market
touched s2h cents last Wednesday.
the highest mark for the season. The
story circulated ten days ago was that
the bull movement will never let up
until wheat touches the dollar mark.
and the strength which the market has
lately shown is an indication that this
prediction will be made good. The
daily quotations show the feverish con-
dition of the Chicago market; prices
move up and down with a range large
enough TO wipe out many of the little
dealers. When the market says, the
bull clique fires more bad weather bull
letins at the crowd of excited traders
there has been more weather in the
wheat belts during the past thirty days
than is needed in the lifetime of a man,
and as soon as this weather gets to
Chicago, II is always sure TO be bad for
wheat. 1t is remarkable that so many
cool-headed men will permit their pock-
et-books to be influenced by the can
ards that are set afioat about the
weather.

fiction was chosen by 744s per cent of
the public library readers, history and
travel HOP per cent Poetry and the
drama by 1.36 per cent. social, natural
and applied science by 619 per cent
and the fine arts by 100 per cent of
readers. This would tend to show that
Butte has n class Of readers not only
proportionately as large but as culti-
waited and discriminating as Spring
field and Hartford"
With these figures before II the Press
remarks: 1T is evident that IL Butte,
Mont, is to be taken as an example
there is a much larger reading and
therefore cultivated and educated con-
stituency in the newer western cities
than the eastern public has generally
supposed. This fact is further borne
out by the claim of the Anaconda
Standard that there is no city in the
country where the library reading
room is so extensively used proper
tionately as I'm Butte"
The figures printed in the Standard

IN MINOR KEY,

I'm sick OF this world and It's trouble,
I'm weary OF pleasures that cloy,
see through the bright colored bubble
And find no enjoyment In JOY.
Is all that we earn worth the earning?
Is all that we can gain worth the prlze?
Is all that we learn worth the learning?
Is pleasure but pain in disguise?
Is sorrow e'er worth our detection?
Is fame but flatterer's spell?
Is love ever worth our affection?
Let jeu, vaul-il done, la chandele?
Oh, where are the eyes that enthralled me?
And where are the lips that we kissed?
Where the syren-.ike voices that called us,
And where all the chances we missed?
We know not what mortals call pleasure
For clouded are skies that were blue;
To dross now has melted our treasure,
And false are the hearts that were true
The flowers we gathered are faded.
The leaves OF our laurels are shed;
Our spirit Is broken and jaded.
The hopes of our youth are dead.
We feel life is hopeless and dreary.
Now night has oershadowed our day;
Bright fruits of this earth only weary,
They ripen-to fall and decay!
Pm sick of the world and its trouble,
For rest and seclusion | thirst;
I'm tired OF the tinted bubble.
That brighteneth only to burst!

When Rome Blows Up.

Yesterday the Standard printed a
full summary OF a sermon which was
delivered Wednesday night by Rev.
Mr.. Streator in Butte. All in all. it
was rather a sensational pulpit effort.
although there is nothing new in this
gentleman's expounding of certain pas
sages in the prophetic part OF the
Bible: there are students of theology
who think and talk along the line
which Mr.. Streator followed.
The sermon had to do with the "mys-
terry of Babylon with the beast that
had several heads and a large collec-
ton of horns, with seven kingdoms on
seven mountains and with a large
amount Of symbolism. And there is a
woman in the case-the woman on the
scarlet-colored beast The beasts found
by Mr.. Streator TO be typical of an
aTchy; the woman, a person OF Ill
fame. is said to impersonate papal
power.
Mr.. Streator's opinion is that in the
fulfillment of prophecy. Rome will have
TO go. He tells US that the earth upon
which the city OF Rome is built Is vol
canic in character. II the clergyman
was correctly reported in the Standard
yesterday morning. he said: 1T is
possible that the prophecy meant that
a meteor would be thrown down from
the battlements of heaven upon the
papal city and would crush through
the crust of the earth, releasing the
volcanic fires and consuming the city
with eternal flames"
That is possible; we presume that the
fire insurance agents have taken ac-
count of the extra-hazardous risks in
Rome: we do not know how effective
the Rome fire department is or what
sort of a stagger it would make in
trying to pump the Tiger into vol
cano But we know now why our
| evening contemporary in Butte Is so
persistent in its appeals for certain
local politicians. The Inter Mountain
knows what 1t is about; IL has pro-
phetic vision. II at any time within a
fortnight or two that meteor should
happen to roll over the aforesaid ce-
| lestial battlement. bump right down
| into the Campus Martius and send all
Rome sky high, it's an even bet that
| the Inter Mountain. taking advantage
of the ensuing excitement, would be
able 20 get "some good English-Ameri-
| cans" on the Butte police force.
