The outrages attempted nine days ago
at Barcelona find repetition in yester-
days antics of mob in Bilboa.
Americans laughed at first at these per-
formances-they would, in fact, be rid
iculous, but for the other fact that the
recurrence of them may lead to serious
consequences. This country lightly
passed over the affair in Barcelona;
undoubtedly the government at Wash
ington will wish to see the police pre-
vail over the mob in Bilboa or Madrid
or wherever else violence manifests
itself.
At the same time the United States,
when its own representatives are in
volved, will expect Spain to control its
violent classes at home. Yesterdays
kind of trouble in which Spain would
be sure to get the worst of it. This
much certainly is clear to Premier Cas-
tello, since ile is no novice in state
craft. He was in the Spanish ministry
more than forty years ago. He had
been a long time conspicuously in pub
lie life when Spain recognized belliger-
ent rights for the confederates in our
civil war. Repeatedly he has occupied
the office of premier. At the age of 6S
years he realizes that his turbulent
Spaniards are doing more than all the
millions of the American people to
complicate the situation.

against Mr. Huntington's Pacific rail-
road scheme. Among other things, he
has written hundreds of letters to
congressman. BY way of making his
communications emphatic, Mr.. Sutro
has adorned the top of the envelopes
with the words: Huntington would
not steal a red-hot stove" These
words may be Bible truth, but ii is the
rule of the postoffice department to
forbid the use of envelopes for that
style of talk, and Mr.. Sutro is liable
to get into trouble.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1896.
HE'S THEIR MAN.

In the arrangements for to-day's inn
migration convention at Helena large
account should be taken of Mr.. r. II.
Floyd-Jones, a resident at the capital.
Mr.. r. II. Floyd Jones should be on the
platform and have a conspicuous place
in shaping the conventions course.
Mr. r. II. Floyd-Jones, of Helena,
was lately in ST. Paul. He submitted
there to an interview in the course of
which he said: 1T was only last week
that they discovered six miles north of
Helena, near Fort Harrison, the new
army post. a reef of gold 500 feet wide
and three miles long. This reef assays
higher in gold than any of the Trans
vaaI reefs in South Africa, and it's free
milling quartz too. All scientific men
know that there are great parallel reefs
of gold bearing ore betting the eastern
slopes of the Rocky mountains, not
more than rs miles northwest of Hell
ena."
There are people who may assume
that Mr.. r. II. Floyd-Jones was talking
for fun-Montana people we mean. We
do not share that opinion. When the
East is told of the 50O-foot parallel reef
of free gold, we are to remember that
the Hoffman house in New York used
constantly to be assured that Helena
was the richest city per capita in the
world and that Helena was the home
of sixteen millionaires. These claims
were not made in jest.
OF course everybody between the
West hotel and the Hoffman house has
learned how ridiculous these claims
were, but they were not more funny
than the reef revelation made by Mr..
r. II. Floyd-Jones.
Our own belief is that Mr.. r. II.
Floyd-Jones thought he was in earnest
when he impaired to the reporter the
gold-reef gag. Place for Mr.. r. II.
Floyd-Jones in the Helena convention!

SEVERE ACCIDENT.
Samuel Sweeney's Leg Broken by a
Dad of Wood.

Samuel Sweeney yesterday met with
one of those unavoidable accidents that
are liable to happen to even the most
cautious persons, and as result one of
his legs was broken between the knee
and hip.
He was hauling wood from the Yolo
side of the river to Meister's wood yard,
ON street, and while driving down the
incline leading into the latter place the
kingbolt of the wagon broke and he was
thrown to the ground, the load of wood
falling on and completely covering him.
He was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, where his leg was bandaged by
the City Physician before he was taken
to the County Hospital
