PRESIDENTIAL WHEELS.

Philadelphia, Bulletin, rep.-It looks as
IL the republican score cards at st. Louis
next June will hardly be big enough to
contain the names of the entries.
Washington Post, rep.-The returns
from the out townships in Nebraska indi-
cate that the Henderson boom is not apt
to be put sleep with stilted resolutions
and oratorical platitudes.
Chicago Tribune, rep.-Senator Thurs
toms sharp disavowal of the Henderson
boom calls attention to the fact that
Thurston has not secured favorite son ia
cilities. Probably that was the result aim
ed at.
Chicago Post, rep.-The Olney boom
was launched in Boston, from which city
probably also came the expression: 1T
doesn't amount to beans" We merely de-
sire to call attention to the coincidence.
Kansas City Star. dem.-It looks as IL
Olney was "willin.'" and the democratic
party may thank its stars that as decent
a man as the secretary OF state is ready
to assume the precarious mission OF re-
storing its shattered fortunes.
Indianapolis Journal, rep.-The attempt
of democrats to concentrate the atten-
ton OF the democrats upon any man as
a democratic candidate for the presi-
dency has utterly failed for the reason
that the American people are practical,
and consequently do not propose to waste
no prospect of election.
New York Sun, dem.-Hon. Matthew
Stanley Quay. resting serenely in the
arms of his friends. famed tenderly by
the Pennsylvania republican delegation in
the house of representatives. and watch
ing placidly the scowls of Hon. David
Martin and Hon. Christopher Magee. is
more than an idyl. poem: he is a pastoral
tableau a thing of sweetness and light.
Philadelphia Record. dem.-Ex-United
States Senator Charles F. Henderson Of
Nebraska is 10 be taken quite seriously as
a candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for the presidency. He has behind
him an honorable service of u years in
the senate and he was during one term
of congress its president pro tenn. Behind
that he has a record for gallant. long
continued and meritorious service in the
civil war. While in the senate he was
held in high regard by his associates for
his good judgment and moderation. He
was born and reared in Philadelphia, and
received his education in the common
schools of this city, with many another
youth who has since risen TO distinction.
In looking about for an available oandi-
date for the presidential rominatinn the
republican national convention might
make a far less judicious choice han this
son of Philadelphia, Charles F. Mander-

graceful proceedings, but Butte has no
monopoly of that kind of thing. There
are murders in Montana, but not so
many in proportion to population as In
Massachusetts Mob violence In time
of labor troubles is rarer in the western
states than in the eastern. Law and
order here are just as much respected
and insisted upon. life and property
are fully as safe, the people as whole
take quite as much interest in good
morals, good manners. good literature
and good society.
1t is time that all this rot about the
wild and woolly West" was stopped.
There is no such thing; and Mr.. Cleve-
land, as president of the United States.

dice, bigotry and overweening egoism.
We are glad that Mr.. Hartman gave

Butte's Disgrace.

From the Butte Inter Mountain.
The Butte chamber OF commerce can
aid the substantial interests of this city
in no more effective manner than by
passing a resolution calling upon nine
tenths of the city officials to resign or
else requesting the press to refrain from
publishing the proceedings of the city
council.
We venture the assertion that there is
not a city in the United States where
such disgraceful proceedings are toler-
ated as were witnessed last night in
Butte's very common council.
Good citizens of this community, re-
CARELESS alike of creed and politics, blush
at the spectacle presented.
What is the use of the chamber Of COM
merce seeking to induce men of means
and enterprise to settle in Butte when
the Butte papers are forced to chronicle
events which show a condition of disorder
and riot at weekly council meetings.
The worst enemies of this city could ask
nothing more satisfactory to them than
the row reported in the morning papers.
There is not a dive in the city where
such language and such conduct would
not be instantly stopped by the police.
Never In the widest days of Alder
Gulch. when law was defied and govern
ment was a farce. did the men intrusted
with the preservation of the peace and
the regulation of public affairs make
such exhibitions of themselves.
This city is nearly 20 years old. II has
had all sorts OF men for mayor and all
sorts for aldermen. but never did IL pre-
sent such a spectacle TO mankind as II
did last night
on behalf of the decent citizenship OF
Butte in defense of it's reputation, for
the protection of property. the Inter

commerce and upon the Christian min
listers of Butte TO use their influence and
take such measures as will put an end 10
the rule OF ignorance. prejudice and ha-
tired in Butte. The business men OF Butte
are here TO do business and build up the
city. The working men OF Butte are here
TO work for the peaceful support Of them

here TO labor for the salvation OF souls
and the proper enjoyment Of the blessings
OF liberty. Political parties are here to

The condolences in the matter of
suicide have been many and remark
able. They seem to run in groups. The
suicide of ex-Representative Harter
has been followed by that of four other
business men of wealth and standing.
In none of these cases were business
worry or financial troubles the con-
tributory cause of the act, and the
suicides were not particularly despond-
ent, at least to an extent that had at
tracted the notice of their friends. In
none of the five cases referred to were
domestic troubles a factor Each one
of the suicides had happy homes, and
their domestic relations were most
amicable and kindly. The line of de-
marcation between sanity and insanity
at best is a slender one, not always
discernable. and 1t is the commonly ac-
cepted verdict that a Suicide Is insane
at the time of committing the homicidal
act.

The Abyssinian war has developed an
Abyssinian military genius. His name
is Makonnen and he is called the Ma
poleon of Africa. His generalship is as
tonishing. He has converted a savage

accomplished the defeat and rout OF the
Italians was a mastery piece of work.
He deployed his troops and brought

ministry. The great Italian statesman
has lost the game. 1t was his war.
King Humbert was opposed to ever be-

OF the royal protests. Most of the other
politicians OF Italy are also said 10
have been arrayed against Crispi in
his African policy. But the war hav-

Some of the Montana merchants are

Paul and Minneapolis because the
Twin City newspapers as a whole are
opposed to free coinage. This may be
only a symptom of the approaching
campaign" To which the Duluth

residents oppose free silver"

either to recognize the insurgents, or

statement improbable. still it would be

Pork Is Popular.-We heard a gentle
man say recently that he was preiu-
diced against pork, but that neverthe-
less he bought a great deal of IL for his
home use. His reason for this was that
he nearly always got pork that was
tender, and II 1t was too fat he could
find 1t out before buying it. When he
bought beef he often found it not what
he had expected. Sometimes 1t was
tender and sometimes it had no flavor,
and the worst was that he had to buy
II on faith. But with hog meat it was
not so. This points a moral: Produce
the quality in any kind of meat and
have that meat uniformly good and it
viii find a ready and extensive market.
