The decision Of the United States SUI
prene court reversing the decision of
the Mississippi Supreme court that
bonds made payable in gold coin"
may be redeemed in any kind Of money,
is timely. When these bonds were
issued In 1871, gold coin was not In cir
culation and was of much greater value
than the treasury or national bank
notes which then passed as money, as
it was eight years before the resump-
ton Of specie payments. There was
no question then as to what sort of
money the Mississippi levee board con-
tracted to pay when it issued its bonds,
payable in coin.

The London Lancet discusses the
project Of a Russian writer on tuber-
culosis for loading a steamship with
sufferers from consumption and choos-
ing climates in such a way as to have
the consumptives always in regions
best suited for their recovery. He has
been SO earnest about the matter that
the Austrian Lloyds have ordered a
large steamship for the purpose Of try
ing the experiment. So far the follow
ing anchorages have been selected for
the hospital ship: Corfu, Alexandria
Palmero, Messina, Naples, Tunis and
Malta. The Lancet suggests that such
a vessel cannot remain in commission
for more than eight months, owing to
the necessity for disinfection.

Alasl Reports received in Savannah
on the watermelon acreage in Georgia
this year show decrease In most sec
tions of from 40 to 60 per cent. The
chief reason for the decrease is the
price Of cotton last fall, which was
such that fruit growers could make a
handsome profit by planting cotton on
their acreage, and cotton being a sta
pie product. they could obtain spot
cash For the crop. Another reason is
that the merchants who usually adj
vance heavily on future crops refused
to furnish many fruit growers with fer
tilizers and supplies necessary to pro-
duce a melon crop, as they considered
1t of speculative value.

Foraker Gets Ii.

1t was a long chase for one of Ohio's
seats in the federal senate, but Joseph
Benson Foraker has made the run sue
cessfully. In separate action yesterday
in the two houses of the Legislature.
Foraker scored the full republican
strength; the joint session will do the
rest to-day.
In politics Foraker became known
long ago as the fire bell;" he will prob
ably ring the changes In the senate
He has a very high opinion of Foraker;
ne has always been aggressive; he has
been a disturbing element I'm republi-
can politics in Ohio. He has been in his
time the thorn in the side of John Sher-
man and Governor Mckinley, but he
got both of them in a position where
they felt obliged TO let him have what
he wanted-that is the seat in the SEN
ate.
Foraker has a war record" and he
has always made the most of 1t. He is
about fifty years old. He is a lawyer
and has seen some service on the Ohio
bench. A dozen years ago he was de-
feated for the office of governor, but he
was elected IN 1885, and he served one
term. Governor McKinley's ambition
for the presidency opened Foraker's s
way into the senate. Foraker took the
sure thing. leaving Mckinley to battle
dt out as best The cam i'm next June's ma
tbonal convention.
In our opinion, almost any man is a
good trade for Brice. whom Foraker
will succeed. There is nothing in the
change for silver, because both men are
foes of free coinage. But silver's
etrength In the senate has been chiefly
wtth the democrats. while it's support
an Ohio is almost exclusively a demo-
crat contribution. Brice was arrogant
In his treatment of the supporters of
free coinage. and in his retirement 1t is
a case of good riddance. This demo-
cratic loss of a seat in the senate Is al
80 another tllustrafion of the success of
Grover Cleveland in ''disciplining" dem
ocracy; IL the president could have just
a little more time. he would manage TO
States out of office.

himself a place in New York politics.

In Busy Helena.

Helena having established her claim
ITO social supremacy. the fact THAT one
alderman spat in the face of another
attracted the attention of the rustics
who reside in other cities of the state.
The anticipation was that last even
dngs meeting of the Helena council
might bring on a renewal of brutalities
in added evidence of the kind of cour-
tesies that attach TO Helena's idea of
social superiority. but nothing happen
ed that can be accounted an aldermanic
novelty.
That an effort was made to unload
the Helena water companys property
on the city at a ridiculously high figure,
is admitted. As far as the
charges of the bribery OF the
city council are concerned. these
rest on uhe testimony to which the peo-
pie OF Helena have given currency; the
rest of us know nothing about II and
care lgttle.
The only conclusion drawn by the
people OF the state is that the attempt
to unload a water company IN Helena
should not excite wonder. Helena peo-
pie started the report that offers of
$50. 900 had been made to certain alder
men. The effort to put shat round price
on an alderman in Helena looks very
like a characteristics advertising dodge.

Money and the + a0.

There is always to be found in con-
gress a contingent prepared to make
pension speeches in favor OF the flag
and an appropriation. Yesterday an
Ohio member urged the usual plea,
claiming that pensions should be given
in a broad. catholic spirit-as If the fed
eral government had ever failed in that
respect-and saying that morally. pen
sions are higher than vested rights"
Whether they are higher morally or not,
pensions are higher financially than
they ought to be.

was a pretty good soldier. declared that
pensions were about as high as they
ought honestly 10 be when they reached

indifference respecting the results of
the powder explosion has overtaken
the Butte public. that fact may be
accounted for. in some measure at
least AS has been said. two members
of the Butte fire force were the depart
ment's only survivors of the explosion.
One of these men was severely wound
ed. Before many weeks had passed.
under the cowardly connivance of the
city administration, both Of these men
were crowded off the force, although
not a whisper had ever been heard in
criticism of their fidelity or their ability
as firemen. This act on the part of the
administration was a piece of brutal
ity. 1t was prompted by pin-headed
prejudice; and even among the preju-
diced in Butte were some who said, all
on the quiet of course. that the conduct
which forced the two men into retire
ment was indecent.
The absence from the force to-day OF
these two firemen who were exposed -
death i'm the explosion is one OF two
salient results of the year that has in
tervened. That is not a pleasant fact
to contemplate; nevertheless, 1t is
vital truth which the recurrence OF
January Is brings to mind.
The other result which the anniver-
sary brings to mind is that Butte finds
itself in the hands of a fire department
which is notorious chiefly because II Is
high-priced and incompetent Butte
pays out enough money every year on
it's fire department TO secure as good
service as is available in any city of
fifty thousand people.
AS the Standard has shown scores OF
times, the fault in Butte's fire and
police service is with the system rather
than with this or that individual;
naturally, a certain number of men,
whether valuable or incompetent, Will
use spring politics for the purpose of
getting on the municipal pay roll as
long as a system which is ridiculously
wrong gives them a chance TO do 1t.
AS well give the citys banking ana
book keeping to blacksmiths and
expect good results. At the same time'
the confession in the city hall is that
the fire service is worse than it ought
| to be even under the vicious system for
| the organization and control of the
| force that is in vogue in Butte.

THE NEW COUPLE.

She was new and was constructed on the
latest modern plan,
But she lost her heart like others, and.
of course, twas lost to man;
So at last the two were married, and they
started married life.
As they thought, equipped and ready.
well prepared for any strife.
She was posted on his business quite as
thoroughly as he;
She had studied all the details, and, as
any one could see,
She could run his shop or office; and II
also seemed quite clear
She could act as his bookkeeper or could
serve as his cashier.
She could sell goods on commission, or
could buy on 80 days;
She was sharper than most merchants in
all proper business ways;
She could take from his dictation, and
dictate TO others, too;
There was nothing round the office that
she really couldn't do.
So they thought they were well armored
for a life of great success,
Rut the outcome of their trial was a fall
ure more or less;
They are doomed to boarding houses, and
|, regretfully they roam,
For while they both can run the ofhce.
neither one can make a home.

A Year A1o.

This day brings the anniversary of
the most memorable calamity in the
annals of the Northwest. A year ago
tonight occurred in the city OF Butte
an explosion OF powder as the result Of
which the fire department was wiped
out, two members Of the force being
the sole survivors. The loss of life
reached the distressing total of fifty
seven men.
The terrible details of that Inflated
night in Butte need not be recited,-th
recovery OF the mangled dead. the res
cue Of the wounded. the overwhelming
grief in stricken homes. the hearses
moving in mournful procession to the
cemetery. the universal sorrow for the
dead. the generous manifestation OF
practical sympathy for afflicted friends
whom sudden calamity had left
desolate: these things serve simply to
fix to-day in the mind of the people of
Butte the melancholy fact that the dis
aster, with all it's distressing conse-
auences, was directly due to human
carelessness and 20 criminal disregard
of reasonable laws designed for the
protection Of the public.
To this day. nothing OF account in
expiation for the grievous wrong. has
been exacted from those who were
responsible for the wholesale slaughter
a year ago tonight Those in author
ity in Butte did not act as the authori-
ties in almost every other city in the
= world would have acted. There have
been recent proceedings in court. with
results known 10 the people Of Butte.
There appears to be a plan for the eva
sion Of some OF the financial response

which is Questioned by a good part of

That Man DliY.

Yesterdays exclusive news in the
Standard of the operations of Law
renee Daily in Kansas City attracted
wide attention in this region because
of the fellows shameless parade of
ownership in the Anaconda properties
and of his alleged relations with the
Rotschilds. According to appearances
this smooth swindler is a very recent
graduate of Deer Lodge prison; he is
under arrest for his latest rascality,
and the chances are that he will take
a post graduate course in some Mis-
souri, Jail. He may not have as much
luck as some scoundrels in getting
away with the sxvag, but the story Of
his operations in Kansas City is in
ample proof that he has all the nerve
that is needed for a successful career
in crime.
In some of it's details, the press report
is not easily made to fit the news that
comes from Deer Lodge respecting this
Kansas City crook. In that city the
man called Lawrence DAILY is traced
through his criminal record in the East
and he is not given credit for the west
