DR.. Hunter, the candidate of the re-
publican members of the Kentucky leg
islature for United States senator, is
losing ground. On the other hand,
Blackburn is not gaining any. There
are four or five dissatisfied democrats
and apparently about the same number
of republicans. Things are pretty thor
oughly mixed. The Louisville Courier
Journal and its evening edition. the
Times, are savagely opposed to Black
burn. but they are even more savagely
opposed to the suggestion that the re-
publicans unseat enough democrats to
elect Hunter. The democratic Post is
openly supporting Hunter. while the
republican Commercial is fighting Hun
ter tooth and nail. and there you are.
The present outlook is that the legisla-
ture will adjourn without electing any
body.

THAT BOUNDARY LINE.

There are people in Butte who as
sumo that some of the aldermen engage
in a surprising proceeding when they
propose a change of ward boundaries
that will result simply in the transfer
of one boarding house on Broadway
from the Third ward to the First.
Yet IL seems to us that the proposed
changed ought not to excite surprise.
II is a characteristic piece Of legisla-
ton; il is just such a proceeding as
the aldermen engaged in IL might nat
urally be expected to undertake.
OF course. the proposed change is an
un-Amerdcan performance, but II is to
be remembered that the foreign-born
faction that is manipulating the affair
has none OF the blood of this republic
in it's veins and none of the spirit OF
true American citizenship in it's meth
DDS. When you commit the keeping of
a city like Butte-a city Of the United
who were reared in the atmosphere OF
mere colonial Experimentation you
turn Butte's affairs over to that kind
of men, you must not expect Of them
the line Of conduct that is characters
tic OF true American citizenship. We
see nothing in the proposed transfer of
the Hale house that should excite sur
prise; il is precisely the style of con-
duct which would naturally find It's
promoters in the kind of people who are
advocating the change in boundary
lines.
Town talk in Butte is to the effect
that not all of the intimates of the
aldermen in question approve the pro-
posed change of ward lines. We do not
see why any unfortunate differences OF
opinion should arise. The change is
logical; II is just what the public ought
reasonably to expect. Mr.. Hale simply
asks that his building be left alone We
do not see what reason he has for ask
ing or expecting any favor of that sort
Didn't he express himself a few days
ago in favor of President Cleveland
Monroe doctrine message? We offer 70
prove that he did. After that offense
what right has he TO expect protection
for his boarding house under the code
governing the conduct OF those who fix
ward boundaries in Butte? Indeed
why doesn't Hale die and then go and
be born again in Canada?

adelphia are sending ships to Egypt
for a supply of the raw material 1t
comes from cane raised in the valley
of the Nile. and the industry is COM
paratively new, having been introduced
by British capitalists. We usually get
about one million tons of raw sugar
from Cuba, which is about one-half of
the entire quantity consumed in the
United States. But this year the i'm
porters do not calculate upon more
than 100000 tons. Last year Cuba's
imports from the United States fell off

with the United States suffered a very
serious shrinkage last year. Cuba's
sugar crop will be only about hall as
