The Democratic state platforms are
boasting a good deal about the return %
good times through the operation Of Dem

ference between the conditions now and
those existing under the much abused Nc
Kinley law.
In 1890 45s establishments in this country

THE EFFECTS OF SULPHUR.

The Honorable Patrick O'Farrell has
been writing a lot of stuff to the Chicago
Inter Ocean from Butte. Mont, in which
he attempts to size UP the political stua-
ton In that state. and incidentally to settle
the destlnies of all of the other states and
territories west OF the Missouri river. OF
course. his is free silver letter. for no
body with his environment would dare 10
write anything else and expect to get out
OF Silver Bow county alive.

that viii be enough to throw the election

The people OF Butte must have been get

SEATTLE To GET THE GUNBOATs
No Reason for Rejecting Bid OF Detroit
Drydock Company.

Drydock Company.
THAT dispatch is a straw 70 show which
way the wind is blowing" said z. l. Nc
Ailaste-. Seattle representative of the De-
troit DRY Dock Company. last evening,
when shown a Post-Intelligencer message
from Washington City. The telegram.
which is given below. is confirmatory OF
the report that the company's bids for the
gunboats are being favorahly regarded by
the navy department. Mr.. McAllaster says
that If the Union Iron Works and Moran
Bros can build naval vessels at profit
on this Coast, his company can do the
same ssIn Seattle" he said, 1--WE have an
advantage of San Francisco in that we can
obtain Washington fir without the pay
ment Of freight while the castings we VIII
use can be laid down here at ABOUT the
same rate as there"
The washington CITY dispatch says that
from examination at the navy department
OF the bids submitted by the Detroit Dry
Dock Company for construction or the
gunboats, il appears that the company an
ticipated the objection that might be made
10 the reception of the bid. based on the
prohibition In the treaty with Great Britain
against the construction or maintenance OF
warships on the Great Lakes. BY the
terms OF the bid the company proposes 10
make the material and build the engines
at it's works and 10 send them 10 this city
to be assembled in the shape OF warships.
AS the company was the lowest bidder Tor
single-screw boats, this stipulation be-
comes important, and if the notifications
Il makes in the departments designs are
acceptable there does not appear any rea-
son at present why the Detroit Dry DOCK
Company should not secure the contracts
for two boats, all that can be allotted to
one concern.
In preparing his bids Mr.. McAllaster
made his calculations from proof sheets oil
the printed specifications forwarded to hin,
by the department. In that way his bids
were made piecemeal. but they reached the
department in time. Had he waited for
the printed copy which arrived only yes
teriay, his bids would have been too late.
