A Writer in an Iowa Papsr Speaks
Kindly of Butte.
BUTTE, April 81. The Dubuque, Iowa,
GLobe-JourndI of q recent date contained
a long letter from Butte written by one
Il. f. Rogan, concerning the great wealth
and possibilities of this city and the state.
The letter contains some remarkable
things, Of which the following is an ex-
ample:
''Iwant to tell you this is Gods own
country. The openings for investments
and the possibilities for making money
here are we'll nigh unlimited. Montana
is 500 miles in length and nearly 300 miles
in width, and has nearly 1O0, 600, 900 acres
of which three-fourths are unsurveyed.
The population is about 100000. The re-
sources are unlimited. The development
of them is just in its infancy, and for the
next 20 years the growth in wealth will
read like dream.
"When 1 think of the millions that are
invested IN Dubuque at and per cent.
when II, 10 and even % and 80 per cent.
can easily be obtained hore. it makes ne
not only want to tell you, but want you to
tell some of the people who have the
money to look the matter up. What we
need is money for development, and for
tune awaits the investor, Mining is the
chief or most prominent industry now.
am we'll aware that there is q fear of min
ing investments among the people of the
East, but with modern methods and good
Judgment il is as safe as any other busi-
ness and generally vastly more profita-
BILE. Gold, silver, copper and other min
eral veins stick up through the ground
waiting for tho men with money TO take
them out, and the profits are SO great that
less than u 10000 is hardly considered a
fortune.
Misunderstanding is almost unknown and
yet there is no country in the world where
the profits are so large. Farming or
rauching, as IL is universally called here.
Is as yet limited in area. All cultured
lands are irrigated and the crops are GER
tain and of the very best quality, but ow-
ing to prevailing low prices, and here TO

able, although very mach moro so than In
The prairie states. Banking and mercan-
tile business is very profitable, and whom

The opportunities for investment are
equally as good IN the state of Idaho. in
ali branches of business. The central
part OF Idaho Is shut in by almost inn
passable mountains on the east. and by
equally impossible barriers along nearly
all the western border, which drives all
business out through the natural gate
ways, ut which points mercantile COM
pany under careful and active manage
nient could handle the business of a terri
tory larger than many states. The con-
stantly Increasing flow of mineral from
the mines prevents the money from being
drained out of the country and maintains
business always at n profitable point. As

snoak Thief CAUGHT.

BUTTE, April 21.-A fellow who Gavo his
name as j. f. Burton burglarized the resi-
dence of Jack Hyland on West Gold street
about o'clock this afternoon. Mr.. Hy-
land was asleep and Mrs. Hyland was
away from home and the thief boldly
walked through the house, took an over
coat, a lot of silverware and other small
articles and leisurely walked off with
them, but he was seen as he was going
and the police were put on his track. Of
ficer Tucker arrested him before he got
far with his booty and he was taken to
the county Jail. All the stolen articles
were recovered.

committed an unnatural crime at Rocker,
is still in the county Jail. When first ar
rested the officers gave it as their opinion
that the man was crazy, and he has been
held awaiting developments. Until to-
day he occupied an apartment with
number of other prisoners, but they have
made such complaint against him and his
actions becoming moro unwise, he was
to-day removed to the ''box car" The

he will probably be examined some time

THRILLING TRAGEDY.
A Rsre Opportunity to See the Greatest
Actors of the Age.

A Rsrs Opportunity to See the Greatest
Actors of the Age. e
BUTTE, April 2l.-Shakespeare's thrill
ing historical tragedy, "Richard Ill.,"
will conclude the farewell engagement Of
the tragedians, Frederick Warde and
Louis James, at Maguire's opera house
next week. Mr.. Warde will assume the
title role; Mr.. James will play Henry.
Earl of Richmond; Mr.. Lindsey, BucIing-
ham, and Miss Edythe Chapman, Lodv
Anne. Mr.. Warde has made a study of
the character of Richard III, and from
the historian and the poet has deduced .
theory ct his own and draws the charac-
ter therefrom. He interprets the usurper
as a master mind of subtlety, cruelty and
cunning, and possessed of an inordinate
ambition. Shakespeare has drawn Rich
ards character blacker than il really was
and differs largely from the accounts OF
the historians. Richard was man of
prepossessing personal appearance, with
but a slight deformity, and an able states
man and soldier. They excuse his seizure
OF the throne upon the grounds that the
condition of English politics demanded
that some able hand take hold of the
royal power or else the barons would have
rent the country with their dissensions
and laid it open to their common enemies
on the continent and in the north. II is
asserted that for dramatic purposes
Shakespeare has often distorted facts.

And what does your anxiety do,
brother? 1t does not empty to-
morrow of its sorrows, but it emp
ties today of It's strength. It does
not make you escape the evil, but
1T makes you unfit to cope with it
when it comes. It does not bless
tomorrow and it curses today. For
every day has itsown burden. Suf-
61cient for each day is the evil that
belongs to it. Do not add tomor-
rows to today's. DO not drag the
future into the present. The pres
ent has enough to do with its own
concerns. We have always the
strength to bear evil when it
comes. We have not always the
strength to bear the forehoding of
it. Gas thy day, thy strength will
be-" In strict proportion to the
existing exigencies will be the God
gi1en power, but if you cramp to-
days sorrows by experience and
tomorrow's by anticipation into the
narrow round of twenty-four hours
there is no promise. that as the day
thy strength shall be. God gives
us power to bear all sorrows of his
making, but he does not give US
power to bear the sorrows of our
own making. which the anticipation
of sorrow most assuredly is.-X.

THE NEED OF THE STATE.

The Monroe Enquirer, speaking Of the
decadence of politics, says the great need
of to-day in North Caralina is for a
leader ike Vance who, when he speaks,
leaves good cheer and kindlier feelings
instead of bitterness and class prejudice.
1t says:
"Just at this time We are especially
unfortunate in having this state of af-
fairs in existence, for at this time the
industrial development of the State is Of
eminent Importance and every time a
political speaker or a paper stirs up strife
and arrays one class against another the
wheels of progress are clogged and devel-
opment is retarded.

The Best Thing.

Fayetteville observer,
We confess to very little information
on the subject that seems to be throwing
some of the brethren along the line Of
the North Carolina Railroad into fits,
but, on the surface, it appears to us
that what the private stockholders
who, we believe, unanimously favored
the lease of that road to the Southern
system thought best for themselves,
would certainly be best for the State. AS
things go, lease for ninety nine years
at seven per cent interest on the
original stock, is equivalent to a sale
at double, at least, its original value. In
fact, a business man in the great world
would regard it as better than sale, for
a permanent investment is assured, not
only without taxation, but without the
loss by the abrasion, so to speak, of con-
slant re-investment, involving recurrent
non-interest earning intervals between
the end of one investment and the begin
ming of another. We observe, by the
way, that it is stated that the Governor
favored the lease. This is very strong
testimony in its behalf, as our present
Executive has shown himself to be not
only a conscientious official but one also
in the habit of exercising wise judg
ment in the peoples interest.

THE 90 YEAR LEASE.
A Bad Bargain.

Webster's Weekly
The North Carolina Railroad was re-
leased last Friday for a term of ninety nine
years to the Southern Railway Company.
The old lease would not have expired in
six years, and the people would have had
three opportunities of passing upon the
question, but the directors have denied
them that privilege. The road was
leased twenty four years ago for per
cent. per annum when the State was
Just emerging from the wreck and de-
moralization of war and reconstruc-
ton, and now in the face of
the marvellous development accom-
plished since then and which is
only a shadow of the good things
the future has in store for us, this mag
nifcent piece of property is leased for
six years at only 81 per cent. and for
ninety three years at 7 per cent. The
Southern Railroad could have richly af-
forded to have given 10 per cent, and
we believe would have done so if the di-
rectors had held out for better terms.
We are glad that the road continues a
part Of the great Southern system, which
is destined to do great things for North
Carolina, but we have no words TO ex-
press our regret at the needless sacrifice
of the States interest in the leasing of
this splendid property at the ridiculous
sum accepted by the directors.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIREC'
TTON.

Our Durham correspondent sends a
circular letter issued by Collector Sim
mons to his deputies which will be gen
orally endorsed. There is widespread
impression among the people that some
officials have been so diligent in their
race for increased fees that they have not
been as careful as they should have been.
The people want just enforcement of
the revenue laws, but they will not
tolerate any petty prosecution prompted
by the love of gain.
AS matter of practice the great ma
iority of cases for criminal violations of
the Internal Revenue laws are worked
up by the deputysmarshals, who belong
to the judicial branch of the service. A
warrant can only be issued by United
States Commissioner upon a charge based
upon an affidavit. If the facts contained
in the affidavit are within the personal
knowledge of the official the law
allows anybody to make it, but if
these facts are to be set out
on information, as is generally the
case, the law says no one except col
lector or deputy collector or a revenue
agent shall make the affidavit. 1t seems
in this district the U. S. Commissioners,
or some of them, have habit of prepar-
ing these affidavits and sending them to
Mr.. Simmons deputies to be sworn to
and the deputies, upon the assurance of
these officers, have been swearing to
them. Mr.. Simmons says, in his circular
letter, that this is a loose and bad
practice, and tells his deputies they must
investigate the facts upon which the
charge is made for themselves.
This is proper move, and is in the
direction of preventing any attempt to
increase business for the fees that fol-
low. The Democrats ought to improve
upon the former practice.

A Fatal BIundeT.
Henderson Gold Leaf.

Henderson Gold Leaf
The directors of the North Carolina
Railroad running from Goldsboro to
Charlotte in Burlington last week
and re leased that property to the South
ern for a term of 90 years. This course
at this time is adversely commented on
in all quarters. There was no necessity
for leasing the road six years in advance
of the expiration of the present contract,
and certainly it should not have been
done at this time, we think. In view Of
all the surroundings and circumstances
we regard the action of the directors as
a great mistake. We will not denounce
it as crime, but that it was a fatal
blunder we are fully persuaded. The
matter will be heard from again and to
the hurt of the gentlemen concerned and
the party they represent.

ground against the proposed silver con-

1--WE think any movement for silver

third party-which has no prospect of
becoming strong enough to carry ma
tional election, and serves only to weaken
