REPRESENTATIONS.

The Boston Herald prints the follow
ing: THE New York presbytery has
formally and cordially expressed its
entire approval of President Cleve-
lands address before that body, and
tenders him its thanks for the same.
This looks as II Congressman Hartman
of Montana might have to enlarge the
scope of his anathema-" Not neces-
sarily. II the New York presbytery
wishes to enact the role of a cuckoo,
that is it's own lookout. 1t was doubt
less foreordained to do that very thing.
A very large proportion of the eastern
press criticised Mr.. Cleveland's insults
to the West quite as freely and In
some instances even more severely
than did Mr.. Hartman. The Boston
Herald need not go beyond the press OF
its own city to ascertain that.
All the resolutions the New York
presbytery can pass will not change
the facts in the case. and that is that
Mr. Cleveland presumed to talk about
something of which he knew nothing
from personal observation but about
which he had accumulated a very
large, varied and deplorable stock OF
transformation. In the fullness OF
time-or eternity-Mr. Cleveland Will
know that his address contained seri-
GUS misstatements, and we have no
doubt that sometime in the glorious
hereafter, to which both he and the
representative of Montana are for
tunately predestined, he will hunt up
Mr.. Hartman on that beautiful shore
and then and there take 1t all back
admitting that he knew no more about
the West, its people, customs and man
ners than he knew about heaven. AT
present there is perhaps nothing for
Mr.. Hartman and the rest of us to do
| but take exceptions to Mr.. Cleveland
rulings. But in the day of judgment
the court will note many errors against
Mr.. Cleveland and before he squares
himself with the angelic host he VIII
need to offer several apologies.

MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1896.
1T rs A 60.

The money generously subscribed by
merchants in Anaconda. under the call
made last Saturday. was given under
the condition that 100000 shall be paid
in wherewith to build an opera house
in Anaconda, the stipulation being that
no subscription is to be collected un-
less the full amount is subscribed.
The signs are that IL will not be
difficult to raise by popular subscrip-
ton the money that will be needed for
the building of a handsome opera
house. The movement started ON Sat
urday, when three gentlemen began
canvass among the retail merchants.
The fruits of their canvass have been
reported to this office; the gratifying
showing is that a fund amounting to
a little more than $4,000 is already
placed to the credit of the opera-house
fund We.understand that the canvass
for subscriptions will be pushed vigor-
ously to-day and tomorrow.
II is important that conclusions be
reached as early in the present week
as possible, for the reason that, in New
York city, the time is az hand for bill
ing next seasons attractions. Ana
conda will not be included unless sat
isfactory assurance is given that the
city will offer a suitable house of
entertainment for visiting companies.
The members of the committee who
made Saturdays round report that.
without exception, they were pleasantly
welcomed and generously treated by
the merchants whose subscriptions
they sought. The fact found recogni-
ton that an opera house is one of the
city's needs. and everywhere a dispo-
sition was shown to lend a helping
hand.
Our understanding is that. II the fund
for a building is subscribed, a suitable
site, to be selected by the stockhold-
ers, will be made available by the
townsite company without cost II the
solicitation progresses for a day or two
as favorably as on last Saturday, there
will be on deposit i'm the bank enough
money to provide for all the expense
of the building and its equipment be-
fore ground is broken or a brick laid
In other words there need be no bonds
or mortgage or other form Of incum-
brance on the property. The stock will
own the property. and. of itself, thai
fact will tend to commend the coming
opera house TO the good will and tbs
cordial support of this city's people.
