In England's parliament they have
some queer practices. About the first
thing a green member does, after en-
tering the house, if he is at all anx-
ious to attract attention, is TO ask
questions of the cabinet ministers.
The questions are often embarrassing:
they are almost always foolish. But
the governments representatives, on
the hoor OF the house are supposed to
answer them courteously and with
dignity. The other day a smart Alec
from one OF the back boroughs wanted

Mcbride is better than Dolph any
how, but it would please a good many
people if Oregon's senator-elect would
speak up little louder on the silver
question. Mr.. Mcbride is quoted as
saying that he Is for following the
lines laid down in his party's platform.
The trouble is, as has been shown a
hundred times, that the senator-elect
will not be travelling with many of the
republican senators if he follows the
platform of his party.

Regarding the coming school cleo
ton, our Butte contemporaries seem
to be of one mind-they approve the
action taken at the recent meeting of
the chamber of commerce. That
would be a smooth way in which to
dispose of a question respecting
which, on more than one occasion, the
people of Butte have been needlessly
stirred up Whether the chamber of
commerce has, in fact, set the pace for
public sentiment in Butte on this
question, remains to be seen; the press
appears to be in accord, and that
doesn't happen so very often in Butte.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL MATTE rs
BY SUPERINTENDENT MORTON.

Notwithstanding the disagreeable-
ness of the weather last Saturday,
nearly all parts of the county We're
represented at the meeting OF the as
ISOLATION. Following is a list OF the
teachers that were present: Anna
Woodruff, Claud Wooley, Ernest VIII
| son, Mamie Fosselman, w. r. Davis
Mrs. i. A. Scoville, Bridget A. Dunn,
Minnie Hurshman, Wilbur Burk
Walter Furman, Carrie Shuster, NJ
A. Shuster Jr., Anna Moncur, j. W.
Smith, r. +. Carl and Lois Talbot.
The session was interesting. Prof.
| Davis made his debut as an active
member in conducting a comprehen-
sive lesson in Botany-the first of a
series of lessons which he will give in
that study within the next nine
months. He desires each of us to
arm ourselves with a Morning Glory
and make it our study for the next
session.
The reading Circle was organized.
The Supt. will have charge of the
work for the year. In choosing be-
tween The School-master in Comedy
and Satire and Woods How to
Study Plants the members prefer
red the latter. Our other book is
school interests and duties. With
these two books we propose to do
aggressive work. The price of the
book is one dollar per copy. Two
persons living within convenient dis
tance of each other may make ar
engagements to purchase the book
between them and thus reduce theex-
pense one-half. In this way every
teacher in the county may avail him
self OF this important reading course;
and if he does SO, | am sure that it
will produce q wholesome affect upon
the schools of our county. The Gag
erness with which the teachers dis
cuss this topic isfavorable Indication.
All who were present, except four,
enrolled; books are ordered and we
expect them to be here by next Sat
urday, Oct. 5.
In addition to the reading circle
work we expect to continue the les
son in mental science. We desire to
dwell on this because it is, above all
other subjects, the most important
to the teacher. We shall not adopt
any particular textbook but propos
to use everything from experience to
Brooks Mental Science.

Last Evening.
COMPLAINTS PRESENTED
HEALTH OFFICER MILES LOCATES UN-
SAFE BUILDINGS ON WEST
COAL STREET.
Constable Phillips Also Complains.
Senator COyle Places Himself on
Record in Favor of Local
Boards of Health.

A regular meeting of the Board of
Council chamber with Messrs. Malone,
Miles and Spalding in attendance. The
board listened attentively to statements
by the Health Officer aud Constable
Taliesin Phillips regarding the sanitary
condition of some parts of the town and
with much qualification accepted and
filed a communication from Senator
Coyle, in which that gentleman placed
himself on record as favoring Boards of
Health.
The epidemic committee reported one
case of diphtheria, one of typhoid fever
and twenty.four deaths since the last
meeting.
Health officer Miles stated that a build.
ing on West Coal street owned by Messrs.
Jones and Hughes is in a dangerous con-
dition owing to part of the wall falling
in. AS the board has jurisdiction in case
W here buildings in themselves are dan.
gerous to the lives of people, as well as
as when they are dangerous because of
contagious diseases, action will be taken
if the wall is not repaired at once.
Constable Taliesin Phillips complained
of an ash bin on Market alley, between
Lloyd and Centre streets The board
decided that it would De impossible to
force people to clean up until the frost
has left the ground, but referred the
matter to the Health Officer, who is to
consult with the Chief Burgess on the
question as to whether the bin encroaches
on the sidewalk of the alley.
The secretary read a communication
from Senator Coyle, stating that he would
oppose any measure that would lessen
the efficiency of local Boards of Health.
This was an answer to an appeal sent
Senator Coyle to oppose the proposed
amendment to the Board of Health laws
providing for the abolishment of Boards
of Health in boroughs and comforting
the powers upon the sanitary committees
of Council.
