Prof Mark w. Harrington, chief OF
the weather bureau, has been relieved
from duty, owing to q disagreement
with with Secretary Morton: His resigna-
tion was called for on June 10Th, but
he declined to resign and subse-
quently was removed by the President
to take effect July lst. The relations
! between Secretary Morton and Prof.
harrington, who was appointed from
Michigan, have been strained for
months and correspondence between
them has been carried on only in the
most formal language. Soon after the
change of administration Secretary
Morton instituted an investigation OF
the business affairs of the bureau.
The result increased the strained re.
latlon between the Secretary und him.

June 18th with call for the profes-

thirty of the men replied. These cs-

over to board consisting of
Chief Harrington, Prof. Mendenhall
and Major Dunwoody. This board Sc

than ten, and the authors were order

This was done for Il mouth and Moore

He avoided all ambiguous predictions

Butte. Nov. 30.-There can be little
doubt that Paul M. Potters dramati-
cation of DuMaurier's famous novel,
'srrilby." is the cleverest of the age.
Outside of the fact that the book Is
deeply interesting and is being dis
cussed by all. the controversions IL has
caused have led considerably to its pop
ularfty. Like all other of the ddiosyn-
crasies OF human beings, the great de-
sire at the present time is for some
thing new. 'sTrilby' Is al of this and
even more. II possesses the essentials
of originality and realism. 1t is lifelike
IN the portrayal of character, as IL ex-
listed In the early '50s, and nothing Is
lost IN dramatization- To satisfy the
popular craze every effort that the
readers mind might suggest is pander-
ed TO and touched up with varnish OF
gentle nature.
The character of Trilby is the most
unique of this century. She Is a strange
fascinating creature OF the earth. with
only a superficial knowledge of what
IS going on around her, but with all the
worldly instincts that a girls nature Is
heir to. AS a stage heroine, she is eff
fervescent in a way that bespeaks the
innocent vulgarity of the period In
which she lives. She Is surrounded by
an atmosphere Of refinement for the
while. which deftly touches on the ex-
traordinary doings of the people among

TO THE EDITOR
THE Herald under tn is heading prints COM
munications, but does not assume response
bility for the sentiments expressed.
Woman's Suffrage

Woman's Suffrage
Editor Herald:- was with pleasure
that the writer, some time since read an
editorial in The Herald entitled Women
and Consistency. There can be no Iea-
soma BILE objection to criticism when 1t is
offered in spirit of fairness and SINGER
ity, spirit seldom manifested by those
who oppose the enfranchisement OF wo-
men. And the criticism referred to was
the more particularly gratifying from the
fact that it is such rare occurrence in
the experience of woman suffragists to
see the subject treated fairly, OF even
with due regard to common courtesy.
The writer agrees with The Herald in
thinking that the only legitimate claims
for the right of suffrage are those based
on the theory of this government and
constitutional law. At least these are
arguments which, if sustained; shonld
not be ignored. No American ought to
same principles as those on which he
claims his rights and privileges. Since,
however. menshave not been willing to ac-
cept constitutional authority, but contin-
ually object on grounds of eypediency to
women having the use of the ballot, it
has seemed to be necessary. to meet
their objections with such arguments as
those who do not accept constitutional
arguments may appreciate.
But 1 will say this, Mr.. Editor: If you
can find a gentleman or lady who will
agree to discuss the question of woman s
right to the ballot on constitutional
ground alone it will give the writer
pleasure to discuss it with him or her
and she will only be too happy to contine
herself to the foundation principles of
this government and constitutional law.

TOO MUCH STREET sPRINKLlNu

The thousands of bicyclsts of this city
are entitled to consideration by the auth
critics and in one particular should have
their interests looked after at once: that
in the constant, unnecessary inunda-
tion of the streets by sprinkling carts. On
the paved sareets this is as annoying to
pedestrians as to wheelmen, for the
result is a coating of mud EQUALLY OBJ
iectionabe to walk through as to ride
over. On the graded roads half the
amount now used would answer ali pur-
poses.
Bicycles have come to stay; they are
used by men in all walks of life, and the
ladies find them as m 1ch of a necessity as
powder rag or the Friday Morning
club. Attention to the rights of those
who use them is not favoring any class.
for they are the most democratic institu-
ton of the times. Therefore It is tho
duty of those in authority to see that
good roads are kept up, and that this
dangerous nuisance OF too much water be
abated.
There will be wheelman' vote to be
considered hereafter.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES

Senator Du Bois and his band of free
silverites failed to make very much of an
impression ON the National Republican
L eague convention. Because the conven
ii on threw the question over its shoulder
by referring the matter to another body,
the misguided senator and his friends
claimed a free silver victory. AS mat
ter of fact, it was anything but that.
However, it is one of the signs of the
times which go to prove that by the time
the national conventions of the two great
parties are held free silver will be a dead
issue with either party. The free silver
craze was born of the panic of '93 and at
time when the nation was ready to take
almost any 'quack remedy" that gave
hopes of relief. Now that labor is being
more widely employed, farmers getting
more for their products ana an era of
prosperity in sight, and the masses of the
people have had time to think over mat.
ters, it is an undeniable fact that the free
silver crusade is losing ground. By an
other year it will be dead Issue with all
except the side-show parties.

THE GOOD WORK GOES ON

The New Y ork World, in recent issue,
gave a detailed account of increase of
wages of over 250,O00 workmen, and all
operative within the past thirty days. The
largest body of employees mentioned in
the tabulated statement was the Carnegie
combined mills at Pttsburg, numbering
30, 900 men, and who received an increase
OF 10 per cent. The greatest advance was
that of the Pittsburg Iron Mills company
of Pittsburg, tne employees of which
were advanced % per cent. 1t is a cur.
ious fact that the iron and cotton fabric
industries have furnished fully nine.
tenths of the examples of Improvement.
This would show that the movement is
not as yet general one. However, the
two industries that have first felt the i'm
proved business conditions are always re-
garded as trade barometers, and therefore
are good indexes to the situation.
In addition to this 1t is shown that no
less than 227 factories which had been
closed on account Of dun times were re-.
opened, giving employment to 5000
men. The Mahonlng valley coke workers
have been advanced second time and
are now working on the scale ir force be-
fore the panic. The outlook is full of
promise, and we will undoubtedly exper.
ience gradual revival of business in all
lines of trade, and the prosperous days Of
''befole the panic will return.
