New York, Aug. 26.-The suspension of
such a house as Hilton, Hughes & Co.
cannot be regarded otherwise than as a
disturbing factor, and yet, so far as the
dry goods market is concerned, it has been
more a topic of conversation than cause
of disquietude. Business has not been af-
fected to any perceptible extent. There
has been a considerable number of buyers
in the market and a moderate spot trade
has been in progress in commission cir
Giles and a good business doing by job
bers. The chief feature of the primary
market for cotton goods is the strength
in staple lines, particularly in brown and
coarse colored fabrics.

ODD FANCIES IN PETS.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A woman we'll known in society has a
pet turtle, which is always introduced to
callers and generally appears wearing
girth of rose-colored ribbon, which is tied
i'm a bow on its back.
Another young girl has a parrot which
does not swear with the accustomed IA
cility of his kind, but which has a play
full. but rather startling way of perching
on the shoulders of visitors and nipping
their ears.
There IS a Gotham girl who is the own
err of a little maromset, or small monkey,
which is of such diminutive proportions
that she carries IL about in one hand.
She is devotedly fond of the queer little
thing, whose ugly, black face is a curious
contrast to her own fair one.
Another lady, who is constantly on the
qui vive for something original, has a
chameleon which is brought in to enter
tain her visitors. Not only is this little
animal remarkable for the curious way
in which IT changes its color. but IL is the
only known creature whose eyes move in
dependently of each other.

THE LAW STANDS.

The license-case decision handed
down in the supreme court, yesterday.
settles a very important matter.
Briefly the point raised in the court
room was this: Collections of licenses
were progressing in the several coun-
ties of the state, seventy per cent. of
the money thus realized going to the
counties and thirty per cent. to the
state. A section in the constitution of
Montana says: THE legislative as
sembly shall not levy taxes upon the
inhabitants or property in any county,
city or town or municipal corporation,
for county. town or municipal purposes,
but 1t may by law vest in the corporate
authorities thereof powers to assess
and collect taxes for such purposes"
The license tax was imposed by the
legislature-it did not vest the authori-
ty in the local boards, as provided in
the constitution; the issue raised was
that the license tax is unconstitutional.
In another section of the constitution,
where a revenue for the state is provid-
ed, the closing words are these: "The leg
islative assembly may also impose
license tax both upon persons and upon
corporate tons doing business in the
state" The bulk of the opinion writ
ten by Justice De Witt is in discussion
of this sentence, and particularly of the
word also" Those whom the subject
interests will find the text of the deci-
sion on the ninth page of this morn
ing's Standard. The argument is adj
mirably made and it cannot well be
summarized; the conclusion reached by
the court is that the license law
stands.
Thus a vexing question is finally dis
posed of. In some of the counties, ad-
vantage was taken of the doubts that
had been raised, in many instances the
payment of licenses was refused, and
thus the county incomes were seriously
curtailed. The popular expectation was
that. IL the law were declared unconsti-
tutional, an extra session of the legisla-
ture would be imperative. Yesterdays
decision clears up the situation in a
manner that will unquestionably be ac-
ceptable to the public.
The Standard does not presume to
set up its judgment against that of the
supreme court in a matter involving
the Interpretation of the constitution
of the state. At the same time. we
cannot see how the law in question is
constitutional.

TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1886.
THE DAY IN BUTTE.

It was a jolly spring election In
Butte. Said the Inter Mountain, yes
terday, there is no issue before the
people of Butte to-day except that Of
the Endorsement or the reputation Of
the administration or Mayor Thomp-
SON."
We accept that as a correct state
ment of the issue-the Thompson adj
ministration knows this morning
whether it is sustained or not.
To begin with, there was no inten-
ton to make yesterdays election an
occasion for applying any political
tests. The republicans were foolish
enough 10 make abject surrender to the
local A. p. A. machine; the democrats
went through the motions needed for
holding a city convention, and they let
the case go at that.
Ten days ago. the Standard practi-
oaIly defined the contest by saying
that the people of Butte had simply to
decide whether they wanted more of
the kind OF government they have been
having. That is what the voters decid-
ed yesterday. The mayor and his
friends absolutely had the right Of
way; they had almost no newspaper
criticism to face; the public good nat
uredly stood aside just to see what
these braggarts and alleged patriots
could do when left entirely free TO do
their level best.
In a word, the idea was to let these
leagued conspirators chew one another
up. They did 1t yesterday to the
queens taste. The result is laughable.
who are not feeding at the public crib
to cut the hearts out of those who are;
II was a very large-sized slaughter.
AS is recited on this mornings Butte
pages. the democrats, listless as they
had been, presented five candidates
a doubt in the world that. IL the demo-
Gratis had put just a little spirit into
the campaign they would have carried
every ward in Butte-they would have
been helped by hundreds of republi-
cans who did not want local republic
canism brought into unholy alliance
with the A. p. A.
However. we are glad that the cam
paign was exactly as II was and that
the results are what they are. Under
the circumstances. IT is one OF the most
glorious democratic victories ever won
in Butte; and the oath-bound office
hunters made 1t dead easy. What a
time they'll have of 1t trying to pun
ish their own traitors!
