STIRRING UP TROUBLE.

The few gamblers in Butte who fan
cied they could defy public opinion by
the return to first-fioor rooms may dis
cover that they undertook a very large
contract. They are to blame for the
revival of the discussion of the whole
question of licensed gambling.
What the large public in Butte called
for in the first place was that the gam
bling establishments get out of main
floor quarters. That was a reasonable
demand: IL was readily met by most Of
the operators in Butte. The tables
went up stairs and, for present pur-
poses at least, that was satisfactory.
Ii will not suit the citizens Of Butte
to see ground-fioor gambling resumed
Those who are working toward that
end are simply opening the way for
trouble for all the fraternity. Already
the city council is considering the wis
dom OF a general ordinance prohibit
ing all gambling. That would be rad
zeal reform; we are not prepared TO
predict what the aldermen would do
with the proposition.
But If a clique in Butte persists in
its ground-foor demand, it is certain
that the day is not distant when there
will be a pressure of public opinion
that cannot be resisted in favor of tax
ing up the whole licensed gambling
question and dealing with 1t in a sum-
mary way. 1t is a safe proposition that
in Butte ground-fioor gambling will
never again be what 1t used to be; the
people will not permit a return to the
old conditions.
II the Butte gamblers are wise they
will leave well-enough alone. II they
keep agitating for a night an annoyed
public will give them plenty of 1t.

Just because they cannot have their

eral. they exhaust themselves in fling
ing epithets at silver's friends through
out the land. The democratic party in
Illinois will undoubtedly declare for
silver: the regularly organized national
convention OF July will. on the prevail
ing signs. carry a silver majority. II
that happens. these goldbug shouters,
who are promising to bolt. may pursue
whatever course suits them. but they
cannot dismay the advocates Of free
coinage.
The opposition affects to look with
disgust on the prospect that the popu-
list and silver conventions to be held
in ST. Louis, July %. may endorse a
free coinage platform framed at Chi
cago. The better way is to bid
hearty welcome to all the forces that
are willing to unite in support Of silver.
Thus far. the threat Of bolt at Chi
cago comes from the goldbug wing.
How these people raved and roared for
loyalty and fealty to the party, just
few weeks ago. when they fiattered
themselves that they would be the ma
jority at Chicago.

MILLIONS IN 1T.

The opinion is prevalent that Presi-
dent Cleveland will veto the river and
harbor bill. That will be one way in
which the stubborn occupant of the
white house can pay his respects to a
congress which has been almost uni
formly Indifferent to his suggestions
Most OF the states are interested in the
bill: some of them have important APP
preparations pending in II. The item
for Mississippi river Improvement
amounts 10 more than thirteen mill
ions. Illinois is interested in the sum
of 5000. 600; New York, S3,656. 55S;
Montana, $4,000.
Many members in both houses profess
TO desire a veto, believing that a final
passage without the executive sigma
ture is assured and that this result
would be a parting shot for the session.
The president is more apt. if the bill
does not suit him. TO hold il ten days.
exclusive Of Sundays. and let il be-
come law merely by the Withholding of
his signature.

ST. LOUIS FOREGONE.

Now that all of the states have been
heard from in the election of delegates
20 the St Louis convention, fairly good
guesses are possible on the relative
strength of the candidates The most
trustworthy estimates appear to sus-
tain the claims to a clear majority set
up by Major McKinley's friends. The
doubtful list includes nearly a hun
dred names. With 9lS votes all told.
the estimates give 531 20 Mckinley. If
this is substantially correct, the Ohio
man need not fret over the doubtfuls.
Some Of the later conventions so revis-
ed the estimates on Reed as to leave
him hardly one hundred delegates
strong. That a majority of the New
Workers will hurry into the Mckinley
camp is probable; then. too. Mckinley
may count, possibly on the first ballot.
on a good contribution out Of the Sc
Pennsylvania votes which hitherto
have been claimed for Quay. 1t looks
like Mckinley. hands down; the
friends OF silver must turn their at
tention TO Chicago.

IN A CHURCH.

Salt Lake City. in its latest sensation.
furnishes the indications of murder as
fendish and as horrifying as was the
crime for which Durraut is still I'M
hung. In this instance a scandinavian
minister is the suspected person. His
name is Hermans. His victims are wo-
men of his own nationality. who. It is
suspected, were at one time or another
his Illicit companions.
The charred bones lat ely removed
from the furnace in the basement of
Hermans' church are suspected to be
what is left of one of the victims.
whether this cellar witnessed more
than one cremation is not lnown-
there is no doubt, however that Her
mans has had female companions
whose disappearance was sudden and
mysterious.
The suspected minister is off for parts
unknown. He may feel reasonably
safe; unfortunately it was a fortnight
after he left Salt Lake before suspicion
respecting any crime on his part was
awakened. The detectives are putting
together a good many circumstances
which. apparently, make out a fairly
strong case against the suspected min
lister. He was last heard from, days
ago, at Kansas City. One of his sup
posed victims disappeared in Septem-
Der of last year. At that time, although
the weather was warm, II is known
that Hermans built a roaring fire in
the church furnace. The second disap-
pearance was in January of this year.
The two women were members of Her
mans churchill had been said that to
one or the other of them he was engag-
ed to be married; neighbors say that
Hermans has buried three wives.
In many of it's details the Salt Lake
horror is a parallel for the crimes of
Holmes and Durrant. Hermans will
have some stubborn facts to face If he
is taken into custody. In spite of his
long lead the authorities believe that he
can be overtaken. II he can clear him
self he should hasten his return.

THEY ARE FIGHTING.

Doubtless Mr.. Hanna views with
great satisfaction the quarrel in which
Mr.. Plat and Warner Miller have be-
come entangled. The Morton boom has
come to a humiliating explosion. Mr..
Miller denounces Mr.. Plat and. in turn,
Plat accuses Miller of bad faith.
The trouble is that Mr.. Miller has
more ambition and a good deal less
courage than Plat. Miller is willing to
stand up a reasonable time for Morton.
Plat is prepared to fight for New
York's governor till the last ditch. Mil
Ter wants to be on the band wagon of
the winner at the earliest hour. Plat is
loyal to the man with whom he started
out to make the race.
Mr.. Miller will probably vote for
Morton during one or two ballots; he
was named as a delegate at the request
of the governor. However, the kind OF
support Miller is giving is no good-he
might. with greater credit to himself
come squarely out for Mckinley. Mean
while. accepting his defeat as fact al
ready assured. the governor cannot say
that Plat did 1t.

LAW OF FELLOW SERVANTS
The supreme Court Hands Down An In
teresting Decision.

trresting DECISION.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May 25.-In addition to the
Hold Peasley case, the supreme court
to-day rendered the following decisions:
c. w. Goodwill VS.. Montana Central
railway company; from Silver Bow
Plaintiff was laborer working in re-
pairing defendants track. The fore
man omitted ito warn the men to look
out when a rail was being used as
lever to lift another rail. The plaintiff
had his toe hurt and recovered dam
ages in the district court. The ques-
ton reviewed is whether the plaintiff
and section foreman were fellow SER
wants. The court discusses the last
decision upon the relation of master
and servant of the supreme court of
the United States, and cites an opinion
where facts are almost identical with
those of this case, and where II was
laid down that where there is distinct
or separate departments, the man in
charge of such department is a repre-
sentative of the company and for his
negligence the company is liable; but
where there is a boss in charge Of a
piece of work, within such department,
as section boss, with a gang of men,
such persons are fellow servants, and
the negligence of the section boss is
not such negligence of the defendant
as will entitle fellow workmen to re-
cover. The judgment is reversed and
cause remanded for new trial for err
rors in instructions. Opinion by JUS
tice Hunt.
Hotel Lumber company VS.. Fire
mems Insurance company; from Cas-
cade county. This was a suit to recover
insurance money. A policy was made
out by an agent and was upon the
buildings of the plaintiff used as
dwelling house and greenhouse. The
building used as a dwelling was on an
adjoining lot, included, however, in the
policy. The plaintiff offered evidence
to show that the policy was written by
the agent with a full knowledge of all
the facts connected with the situation
of building. The district court nom
suited plaintiff. The court holds that
contracts of insurance must be con-
strued with relation to the situation
of parties and their intent, and that
In this case there Is nothing inconsist-
ent with the rights in the policy and
the contention of the plaintiff. Judg
ment is reversed and the cause re-
manded for trial. opinion by Justice
Hunt.
Four cases from Gallatin county
in which James Nj. Moore, William
Beck. Rudolph Vogel and Charles Sales
were plaintiffs, were affirmed. The dis
trict court rendered judgment on the
pleadings The cases involved farm
land in Gallatin Valley. Opinion by

HE'S POOLING THEN.

Not the brightest OF the newspaper
reporters has been able to find out what
happened at Canton as the result of
! Senator Quay's pilgrimage to that
town.
Before he started out for this visit
Quay gave the correspondents and the
reporters an entertaining bluff First
he let 1t be known that he really was
going to Canton-there was no secret
about that. Forthwith, the newspaper
men sought him out. He gave them
one and all the same interview-it was
printed word for word alike in every
line by several newspapers.
II wish to talk with Major Mckinley
about the financial situation" said
Senator Quay. with a smile. There
has been a good deal of controversy
over the money question:" he con-
tinued, land about the position the re-
publican party should take on 1t. 1

jor Mckinley; and the senator smiled
again.
When he was asked whether he was
not familiar with McKinley's views,
whether he was going to promise Penn
sylvania's support, whether he was out
of the race and whether he was author

asked these questions the senator kept
on smiling and said that the financial
issue was the point he was after. 1t is

NIAGARA.

Strange rumbling sounds like thunder
strike the ear,
While yet afar and on the quaking air,
Scud fakes of feathery spray careering
high.
When 10! the falls stupendous meet the
eyei
Two Alps of tumbling foam upon whose
tops
Smoking and dread a rose-bright Iris
stops,
Her mild lamp beaming Ger the hell be-
low,
That awful gulf where white as fallen
snow
The waters SILVER and from forth whose
womb
AS though newborn the shattered pillows
boom
And plunge impetuous on their downward
way
To the great vortex. there to twist and
play
In mazes devious, ere their course they
take
To slumber in the bosom of the lake.

Seattle, Wash, May 25.-The repub-
lican convention held at Juneau May
IA for the purpose of electing delegates
to the st. Louis convention was in
