Smoke Messiah's Again.

sT Is Rutte.s experience that the bene-
factors whom local parIance has des-
ipnated as "smoke messiahs' usu-
ally come in pairs. That was the hapit
long ago. For years Butte suffered
from its afFiiction Of smelter smoke
until life in the city became almost be-
yond enduring. Nobody was able TO
learn Of a possible remedy until sud
denly. and when the sulphur fumes
were at their worst. couple of men
appeared who felt sure that they could
rid the city of the smoke nuisance. In
good faith these people tried, but they
accomplished nothing. Others came to
Butte as the bearers of sovereign
remedy. All failed. The city finally
resorted to the simple device OF forbid
ding heap roasting and. to the extent
that this order has been obeyed. there
has been relief.
1t Is years, so far as the public
knows, since serious effort has been
made 10 equip the smeiters with any
practical smoke or sulphur-consuming
apparatus. Recently one gentleman
came to Butte to test a plan which. he
feels sure. means relief. A more recent
arrival in Butte is another gentleman
who is confident that he can put stop
to the plague. Thus Butte is now the
place of sojourn of two smoke mes
sahs. They are not boastful as to
what they can accomplish; we fancy
because experience runs that way-that
they find themselves in presence of a
problem that is new in essential re-
spects-although they may have met
the like of it in few other towns where
smelters operate.
At any rate, it is certain that these
men are in a city whose people wish
them the very highest measure of sue
cess The sulphur fumes are dire
nuisance in Butte. The man who can
solve the smokes sulphur problem ought
to get an extra jeweled crown in the
next world. Butte will give him "A
monument for this world, and, besides,
| the city would undoubtedly do the
handsome thing by him in ways that
have a more direct relation to ones
| bank account.

Northumberland was the first test
vote. on the Hoar amendment Clark
voted with the silver men while Warren
didn't vote at all: on the final vote both
were for the Teller resolution.
Silver will be stronger and stronger in
wyoming. Chairman Hay may resign
but what difference does that make to
the silver cause? His action will simply
speed the day when the Wyoming gold
bug republicans will be a faction that
can't carry anything at the polls. It's
possible. while he is in the resigning
mood that Mr.. Hay, for the administra-
tion's sake, may even feel moved TO
resign his salaried office of state treas
urer. The silver cause could bear that
with forttude-even that.

Cucumbers Kill Reaches.

If YOU have any reaches that think
they are going to spend the winter with
you, and you want to get rid of them,
try the remedy suggested by an expert
enced housekeeper. "Cucumbers, she
SAYS "are a most effectual destroyer.
Simply scatter the peel or trimmings
about in the places where the reaches
are seen. The roach eats them and there
by ends its existence. In case the roach
does not feel hungry enough the first
night and the cucumber is not sufficiently
attractive throw the trimmings into the
stove the next morning and set out a
fresh lot the next night. The green col
oring matter that kills the reaches is the
same thing that makes cucumbers SO am
moving at times to the human family.

What Frye Said.

4 YESTERDAY morning the Stand
" ards news service included a
special dispatch from Boston
quoting the words of Senator Frye in
comment on the Teller resolution. The
Maine senator is not the only republi-
can of prominence who is impatient
with the administration; the difference
between him and most of his republic
can associates is that he sometimes
feels more free than they to say what's
on his mind.
Senator Frye was frank enough to
say. in Boston, that the friends of sill
yer in the senate were "spurred on To
their present activity by the action of
Secretary Gage in urging the accept
ance of the single gold standard: in the
opinion of Mr.. Frye the secretary is a
good banker but a bad politician. This
comment, it must be said. does no dis
credit To the secretary. The difference
is that Mr.. Frye himself is strictly
politician: he rs not as apt as Mr.. Gage
10 make direct attack. The single
gold standard suits Mr. Frye-if he
We're less q politician. he would go right
at the issue as openly and as ardently
as Mr. Gage does.
Really, the friends of silver like the
Gage method better than the policy of
evasion suggested by Senator Frye.
They want the gold standard people To
get right out in the open and do their
lighting. That is the policy the silver
side has pursued ever since the demo-
cratic party, in national convention.
had the courage 10 take a position in
silyer's favor. The party that has one
of its leading representatives in Mr.
Frye has fumbled a good many years
ii has sought To be on both sides of
free coinage; it has halted and hest
tated and faltered. Mr.. Gage has. in
truth, done more in a brief twelve
month TO display republicanisIn in its
true light and TO set forth the republic
can purpose clearly before the people
than the New England republicans
combined have accomplished in six
years: and it is better so.
Senator Frye regrets most of all the
defeat Of the Nelson amendment That
is the first amendment voted down last
reaching a vote. The resolution re-
cites that Il. is the duty of the govern
ment of the United States under ex-
listing laws to maintain the parity in
value of its gold and silver money, Sc
thar the dollar of one metal shall for al
monetary purposes always he equal IL
value TO the dollar OF the other metal
