Livingston Enterprise: No soone
had the rise of beef been announced
than secretary Morton modified re-
strictions against importation of
cattle from Mexico. 1t seems to be
the policy of this administration and
every official connected with it to re-
duce the price of living to the lowest
figure, even if by doing SC the ability
to purchase the necessaries of life is
altogether removed. With encour-
agement extended to foreign indus
tries the American wage Garner is
deprived of the ability to earn a
livelihood and cannot become a pur-
chaser even at prices reduced by
brisk competition. The only per-
sons therefore that are benefited by
a reduction in prices are the coupon
clippers, whose occupation goes on
forever and receives every ncour-
agement from the democratic adj
ministration.

Butte Miner: Another case where
a child died while under the treat
ment of Christian scientists is report
ed from the east, but in this case the
coroner's jury had the good sense to
hold the parents and professional
impostors responsible and publish
their criminal as)ininity to the world.
A few years in the penitentiary
would give these dangerous fakirs a
much better knowledge Of the treat
ment required in case of Group, meas
les and scarlet fever, than they now
possess.

IT will interest orr many readers
to learn the latest developments re-
garding the great Butte explosions.
Many had believed it impossible that
the grand jury would not report adj
versely upon the case of the men
directly OF indirectly responsible for
the awful catastrophe. Last Satur-
day a grand jury returned a verdict
in the case in hand which reads as
follows:
We have given a very careful consid-
Grafton to the deplorable powder explos-
ions which occurred in this city on the
18th day of January last. With a view
of fixing the responsibility therefor, and
for the deaths resulting therefrom, we
have carefully examined testimony as
given by Il number of witnesses. This
testimony was exhaustive and we have
not been able to learn of any material
witnesses to the explosions, or to the
cause thereof, who could have testified
to any additional facts other thar we
nave had before us.
We feel that if it were possible the
parties who through their negligence,
caused these explosions and the resulting
deaths, should be held to an account
ability therefor; but from all the evil
dence we have not found sufficient to
satisfy us that any individual has been
guilty Of such criminal negligence as
would sustain an Indictment. The
owners Of the warehouses where these
explosions occurred were both corpora
tons, and as such, we are advised by
the county attorney, canno be dealt
with criminally by this grand jury, and
as far as we can ascertain there is not
sufficient evidence from which we can
determine which Of the agents or officers
of these corporations were criminally
negligent in storing the powder within
the city limits. After giving the matter
careful consideration and investigation
we have not been able to conclude that
any criminal responsibility has been
shown sufficient to warrant us in re-
turning an Indictment against auy per-
son or persons.
1t is most unfortunate that the
above should be the finding. For
while a moral lesson has been i'm
pressed deeply into the mind and
conscience of every individual where
the story of Butte's woe was told, a
good percentage Of such men as
manage the large corporations, have
no conscience able to receive an I'M
preston. 1t were better the courts
should have had a round with the
guilty; and that a grand jury should
return such report as the
above is a sore disappointment.
The surprise is the more express
sionable when we consider the frank
and honest statements of the cor
oner's jury bearing upon the same
case.

TIE drift Of comment throughout
the nation points to the possible, we
might say probable, nomination Of
Harrison by the republicans upon a
bimetallic platform. The Cuckoo
wing Of democracy will join the few
single standard republicans and place
Cleveland in nomination. AS the
populist, the free coinage democratic
and silver parties will each have a
candidate, there remains no question
as to republican success, with pro-
lection and bimetallism for the
standard. Salt peter won't save the
democrats.

The problem of the horse industry
seems to have no solution except in
the introduction of horse flesh into
butcher shops. And right here we
are reminded of the time only a few
years ago when two old nags were
dressed, taken to Helena and sold off
the block as elk. The story goes
that the blue blooded stock of the
west-the flower of Montana culture
fairly fell over each other to oct a
hunk of the rare luxury.

A CHAIN of evidence seems to be
Tightening around Durrant, accused
Of a dual murder in San Francisco,
until the case partakes much of the
atrocious nature of the Hayward
episode in Minneapolis. Durrant
may be innocent, and possessed of
many good qualities, but that he is a
hard-hearted villain is evidenced bv
his apparent ut the facts
relative to the awful murder.

TUE suggestions of last weeks
HERALD regarding filthy back yards
have already begun to bear fruit.
Those who take the HEEALD-being
generally of a more intelligent class
not require a public hint, as
they had already renovated their
surroundings. The readers of the
HERALD always has clean back
yards. But the article has served to
set the council committee to work
and the board of health is after the
negligent citizen with a vengeance.

Fargo Forum: With Don Cameron
for a logical candidate of the repub-
lican party in 1896, there will follow
the people of the south who are not
in sympathy with the Tillman's or
the bourbons. 1t is more than likely
that several southern states will come
out from the old environment and
join with progress and enlighten-
ment for a glorious union.

Avant Courier: Alex G.. Botkin,
Of Montana, favors Milwaukee as the
convention city for the republicans
in 1896 with Chicago as second
choice. He says: l consider Henry
NJ. Teller the most available candi-
date of the republican party. Next
comes James Mcdonald Cameron of
Pennsylvania. The issue should be
protection, but with some reductions
of the Mckinley schedule; reciprocity
on a basis OF free sugar, tea and
coffee. and honest money, meaning
necessarily the free coinage Of silver
and the full restoration of it's char
acter as a money metal"

HE Incompetence of the pre-

The incompetency of the present
administration in its foreign policies
vas never better demonstrated than
in the handling of the Nicaragua
affair. The British lion roared it's
great supremacy and trampled upon
the Monroe doctrine while Gresham
and Cleveland with one voice pro-
claimed its right to do so. The min
listers of Great Britain of curse
pledge themselves not to sieze upon
any territory nor to build any fortif-
cations in Central America, but she
doubtless hopes to get peacable pos
session of the Nicaragua canal before
the close of the present administra-
ton. If this is the game England
hopes to play, she will find the peo-
pie of this country awake to the
emergency, and lots of fun will fol-
low.

Miles City Journal: Marcus DAILY
will never no more run his horses on
the Jockey club tracks of the east,
the reason being that he had a horse
ruled off for appearing under the
wrong name. 1t was clearly an
error which he tried to rectify but
the track officials wouldn't have it
and now the "old man" is mad and
says the eastern tracks can 90 to
sheol for all he cares; they will see
no more of his horses. Hereafter the
west will get the full benefit of the
DAILY stables and the copper and
green will be seen only in that Sec
ton. The cold man" saws 81 a

where - please" and it is
dollars to dough nuts that he will do
that same.

always kept ahead of it. Now it is

Butte Miner: If all the boastful
boomers of the east and all the Ian
guild r~hapsodists of the golden gate
could bask in the sunshine and breath
the atmospheric elixir which Butte
is now enjoying, they would waste
no more time in vain, unfounded and
futile panegyrics on the alleged su-
~periority of their alleged health re-
sorts. The only difference between
Montana and Eden is in the style of
dress and while some of the estheti-
cally inclined gallants pine for a re-
turn to the fig leaf fashion of the
Eden belle, the great majority are
renonciled to the more costly and
cumbersome styles of the present.

Marx Twain.

The author of the Gilded Age
and a dozen other equally good
stories is on a lecture tour through
Australia. The following, clipped
from the Sydney Herald of Sept
ember Doth is evidence that Mark
Twain has lost none of his old time
vigor as lecturer: " A pictures
que little figure stole out from the
draping of the Stars and Stripes at
the corner Of the platform a min
ute or two after 8 o'clock, and a
shout went up that ratified the
windows il their sockets. Then,
breath being an extremely known
quantity, it subsidized, only to break
out again and again as the figure
steps towards the footlights. 1t
was reception that anyone might
be proud Of, and few have ever had
accorded" He was TO leave for

Old Brother yohn.

One of the most familiar figures
around the Catholic Mission for
almost half a century died of old
age yesterday. To every one in
Honolulu with whom he came in
contact outside the mission he was
known only as Brother John. F"
His name before entering the
Catholic Church as lay brother
was John Francis Pillet. He was
born in Belgium in 1914 and came
here in 1S4S. Every one who
knew him respected him for his
quiet kindly manners-to each
question answered or favor done
there was always cordial thank
you" from him.
He was forced to retire from his
position as messenger at the mis-
sion about a month ago owing to
his advanced age. Since then he
gradually failed in health until be
was called to his last rest after
many years of labor. He will be
buried from the cathedral this
morning.

Prominent Orator to Arrive

Edward Blake, one of the best
orators in the House of Commons,
is expected to pass through here on
the Alameda. Mr.. Blake was horn
in Adelaide, Ontario, in 1888, and
graduated at the University of
Toronto, of which institution he
was made chancellor in 1875. He
was privy councillor under Mr..
Mckenzie in 1S73-1S74. In 1878
he became leader of the Liberal
Opposition in the Dominion House
of Commons.
In 1892 he resigned his seat and
went to Ireland, standing the next
year for the pocket borough of West
Longford. His reputation as an
orator is known throughout Canada
and Great Britain, while as a poll
tician be has not been a wonderful
success. His mission to New Zea-
land is as arbiter in the case pend
ing between the Government and
the New Zealand Railway Com
pany.
1t is the intention of the Cana
dian colony in Honolulu to request
Mr.. Blake to give an address here
should the steamer remain over
night.

Central Union Social.

The social given by the ladies of
Central Union Church in the
church parlors last night was an
exceedingly pleasurable event. The
object of coming into close touch,
one with the other, church member
and stranger, was certainly at
tanned. Over two hundred persons,
among whom not small number
consisted of strangers, were present
during the evening and shared in
the good time. During the early
part of the evening very attractive
literary and musical program was
rendered. This was made up of an
entertaining reading in Scotch dia-
lect by Mrs. w. W. Hall, a piano
solo by Miss Carrie Castle, and a
baritone solo by Mr.. Wichman.
After the rendition of this pro-
gram, the audience broke up into
small parties for the purpose of
pleasant converse. Light refresh
ments were served to further add
to the enjoyment of the evening.
To Mesdames Schmidt and Hede-
mann is due to great extent the
success of the initiatory social of
Central Union which, it is hoped,
was the forerunner of a series of
many such in the future.

THE PITCAIRN.
Will Call Here on Her Way to
San Francisco.

Captain J. E. Graham, of the
mission vessel Pitcairn, writing to
Sydney by the German cruiser
Buzzard, which arrived here from
Fiji, gives an interesting account
of the cruise of the Pitcairn, says
the Sydney Herald of September
18th. The vessel left San Fran
cisco on the LIST of last May, and
was at Pitcairn Island on June 9th,
having sailed 1000 miles. She had
on board a large party of Seventh
day Adventists, who volunteered
their services for religious work in
the South Seas. After staying a
week at Pitcairn, the vessel left for
the Society Islands, 1900 miles to
the westward, and was eighteen
days on the trip, owing to head
winds and calms. In that group
all of the stations under the con-
troll OF the Seventh-day Adventlsts
were called at. and after visiting
the Austral and Cook Islands, and
Niue and Tonga, the Pitcairn made
for Suva. The passengers on board
are DR.. and Mrs. Braucht, Miss
MCoy, Mr.. Owen, son and daugh-
ter, and Messrs. Young, Eldon, Ora
ham, and Mr.. and Mrs. Elahasman,
missionaries. From FIJI the Pit
cairn will proceed home to San
Francisco via the Gilbert Islands
and Honolulu. Twelve new sta
tions were established, and Captain
Graham remarks that the work of
the society is prospering beyond
anything in the past.

NIGL JACKSON.
Dealer in Electricity Business
Good and Everything Goes.


The ex-proprietor of a perambu-
lating gruber and soda water cart,
ex-baseball mascot, ex-hackman
and ex.member, two times, of the
Salvation Army, and ex-advertis-
ing agent, the irrepressible and
only Nigl Jackson, has once more
bobbed to the surface, this time as
a professional man. Yesterday he
opened up his Office as an electri-
clan at the corner of Fort and
Hotel streets, and during the after
noon administered shocks of vari-
Gus kinds to numerous patrons at
10 cents per shock, no free list.
Jackson's Office consists of very
neat buffers tray and a couple of
La Clanche batteries, to which are
attached numerous wires, finished
off at the end with metallic ham
dies. By a peculiar combination
of fluids and a little persuasive
eloquence of the Mission sort Nigl
wrought many cures of diseases of
all kinds yesterday.
He described his new departure
to an admiring crowd and gave his
reasons for entering a profession
different from anything be had be-
fore tried. "Youse don't want to
guy me. See? Dis is a business
wot no other doctor but me has, but
as long as dey don't try t. trow me
down dey kin come in on me me-
nop'ly. See? 1 don't want de

Taking Advantage of the Tabu.

Shortly after the arrival of the
Mariposa yesterday large shark
was seen swimming about devour-
ing waste material from that YES
sci. The custom house guard in a
boat near by threw one of his oars
at the fish and succeeded in chas-
ing it off for short time. After
returning it was allowed to swim
about unmolested. Sharks have
been seen frequently in the hsrbor
since the restriction was placed on
fishing. Several persons were talk
ing Of going out with rifles to get a
shot at the monster Of the deep.
Should its appearance be made
again today, danger viii 5e in store
for the fin, which IS the only por-
ton that has been observed to APP
