enterprise of a telegraph line under
the Atlantic ocean, which was COM
menced In 1867 and closed successfully
in 1866 Cyrus w. Field of New York
was the promoter on this side of the
Atlantic, and the enterprise was head
ed by him, with J.. W. Brett and
Charles Bright of England and Others
as associates. The attempts to lay the
cable in 1856, 1857 and 1865 were fall
ures. But another attempt was made
in 1866 and success crowned the enter
prise The line was laid from Valen-
tia, Ireland, by the steamship Great
Eastern, then the largest vessel atloat.
She left Nalentia, Ireland. on July 49,,
1866, and arrived at Newfoundland III
IA days from the date of leaving. Elec-
trical communication was Immediately
established between the United States
and England. which has never since
been more than temporarily interrupt
ed. The Great Eastern then returned
to the spot where the cable was lost
in 1865 and succeeded in bringing the
end on board from a depth of 1000
feet, and the second successful line was
soon in operation between valentia and
Trinity bay. Newfoundland.

Democrats United.

~ APERS which are referring to the
~ democracy of Butte as being
"disunited" are aboring under
very clear misconceptions There is no
disunion among the democrats of Butte.
They are united now as ever and will
present bold and uncompromising
front to the enemy. The democracy of
Butte does not recognize traitors as
democrats. Those who have repeatedly
proved their treason to the party can
no longer claim the name of democrats
and are not recognized as democrats.
The loyal democrats are stronger and
more united this spring than ever be-
fore. The men who supported the re-
publican-populist combination last fall
are not democrats. There is no place
for them in the democratic party so
long as they consort with democracys
enemies.
The democracy of Butte will not COM
promise with traitors nor will it re-
ward them by giving them nominations
for office. The perfect harmony of the
city convention attests that the party
is firm and united. BY a unanimous
vote the convention denounced the
crime committed at Helena and repu-
dated the man elected to the senate by
means Of republican votes. AS the dem
ocrats were united last fall, SO are they
united now and are stronger than ever
through having expelled from their
ranks men who are in no party except
to serve their own selfish purposes.
Make no mistake-the democrats of
Butte are united.

~ HE laying of submarine tele-
graph line to connect the Uni
ted States with Hawaii, Guam,
the Philippines and the Asiatic coast
IS one of the assured enterprises of the
near future. 1t is for this country to
lay the first cable across the Pacific
as 1t was for her first similarly to con-
meet America and Europe under the
Atlantic. A study of this interesting
subject reveals some things not gen.
orally known. For instance, it is not
generally known that credit is given to
saliva, a Spaniald, for the first re-
corded suggestion Of submarine tele-
graphy The suggestion was made be-
fore the Barcelona Academy of Sci

A BOOM FOR GOMEZ.

New York. March IA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: We'd
nesdays nights demonstration in IA
vor of Gomez at the Molinas seems to
have been turned by the anti-assembly
leaders into something of presidential
boom for the grand old man" of Gu
ban politics. Most of the speakers in
sisted on proclaiming the deposed gen.
eral-in-chief the sole guaranteer of in
sular independence and the inevitable
head of the still uniformed Cuban re-
public.
In reply to these highly fattering as
surances, General Gomez cautiously
but still suggestively declared that he
could not think of accepting the presi-
Dental title unless 1t were bestowed
upon him by the unanimous vote of
the Cuban people. This answer dis
closed an intention singularly at vari-
ance with the programme he an
nounced in his manifesto of Sunday
last in response to the assembly's reso-
luton deposing him from office. In that
manifesto he said that his sole desire
was now to retire to private life and
end his days in peace on his plantation
in San Domingo. His new attitude is
also in striking contrast with his offer
of his sword to committee of Porto
Ricans which had suggested the initia-
ton of a movement for independence in
that island.
General Gomezs latest change of
front is due doubtless to the over
Whelming character of the victory he
has won over the assembly and to the
elation he feels at the almost unani-
nous support offered to him by all
classes of the Cuban people His flu
ture course in politics will be watched
with interest," for if the elections which
are to furnish basis for political re-
organization are held before the present
furore in his favor subsidies, he can
doubtless have the highest honors the
new constitutional assembly can be-
stow on him, merely for the asking.

MY friends, have already detained
you too long with tie d. cussions of the
past and will say hu- a few words of
hope for the future and have done. The
future of Ireland must and will be
bright. The reason and civilization of
the world are demanding the emancipa-
ton of all peoples. The eternal laws Of
right and justice tHat are written on
the souls of enlightened men decree
that one nation shall not hold another
in servitude and .suhirctlon any longer

attention of the civilized world has
been called to the injustice done to Ire

end. My friends, what happy time
that will be when that Emerald gem
will sparkle again and we see no longer
the trace of blood and persecution upon
her virgin brow. But until the All Wise
and knowing Providence moves the
hands on the dial of time to the point
at which this will take place, we should
content ourselves with the Divine order
and speak that purest and hottest of
prayers, Thy will be done. They who
utter this from the Utmost soul find
peace even as does the troubled child
when it sinks to rest on the mothers
bosom. In learning to love the will of
God they come to believe and to feel
that His will guides the universe and
that all will ultimately be well. When
the utterance comes forth from the
depth of our spiritual being men can do
naught but harken, for the purpose Of
creation is in the human soul.
1T is now late in the evening of the
nineteenth century, let us hope and
pray that when the morning sun of the

THE A. O. H. HALL.
Brief Sketch of the. Building and the
Organization That Built 1t.


The formal dedication of the mag
nificent A. O. H. building took place
last evening, and surely every member
of the organizat ton is justified in feel
ing immensely proud of the handsome
structure, which will ever stand as a
monument to the faithful hearts and
aggressive spirit of those of Erin's sons
who have chosen to make Anaconda
their home.
1t is located at the intersection of
Commercial avenue and Cedar streets
just opposite the city hall. 1t is built
of pressed brick, with trimmings of
sandstone, granite and terra Gotta. 1t
has a frontage of so feet on Commercial
avenue and a depth and frontage Of
fully 140 feet on Cedar street, with two
stories and basement. 1t stands un-
questionably the peer of any building
in the city and admittedly the finest
building in the state erected by a fra
ternal order.
The ground floor Is occupied by five
stores, two of which are situated on
Commercial az Glue and three on Cedar
street. The second floor Is so divided
as to leave large hall 80 by As feet to
be used for socials, dances, etc. while
the lodge room proper is beautifully
furnished room 35 by so feet. The lodge
rooms are rented every evening in the
week anu lIle eIllTe SleluS d
monthly rental of $500, which is yet to
be increased. The entire building is
lighted by electricity, heated by steam
and fitted throughout with all modern
conveniences.
The first building was begun In 1896
and at that time was erected a struct-
ure so by so feet and one story high.
The second building was begun in the
spring Of 1898 and completed about
January /.
The construction was carried on I'M
der the direction of the building COM
mittee. consisting of William Killiher.

Division No. 1, A. o. H. of Anaconda,
which organization owns the building,
was organized Sept. Is, 1885, by P. j.
Brophy of Silver Bow county. Its first
president was Thomas Daily and its first
vice president was NJ. O'Rourke. Dur
ing the IA years of it's existence dlvis-
ion No. l has paid out for charitable
purposes, sick benefits, etc, upwards
of $4,000, a record to which its mem
bers may port with just pride.
What has been accomplished by the
A. o. H. in Anaconda is only type of
the wonderful strides made by the Or
der all over the United States. 1t is one
of the most prosperous and at the same
time one of the most charitable orders
in existence. The A. o. H. boasts of a
membership Of more than 100000 in the
United States and the ladies' auxiliary
has a membership OF 10000.

~HE decision of the New York
Clearing House association to
charge for the collection of all
out -of-town checks has created a great
deal of discussion in business and bank
ing circles outside of the metropolis
Heretofore the service has been per-
formed free by the New York banks,
with the result that the work grew to
enormous proportions. At the meeting
of the association last week it was voted
to make a fixed charge for collecting al
out-of-town checks, with the exception
of some of those received direct from
their own correspondents. This charge
will be one-f1fth of one per cent. for COL
lections in the New England states, the
Middle, Northwestern states, the Dis
trict of Columbia. Virginia and West
Virginia. A charge Of a quarter of one
per cent of the face value of the check
will be made for the collection of checks
payable in the farther Western and
Southwestern states and in Canada. It
is estimated that this will bring ST ,0OO,-
600 revenue to the association every
year. Of course the out of town banks
will not like it, but the New York banks
think that in these times of war tax
alton the imposition of an additional
burden will be noticed less than at any
other time. 1t is a significant movement,
indicating a difference between the
New York banks and their country Gus

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, March 17.-Henry Brett or
Herbert w. Bonsor, Helena's ex-city
clerk who was sent to the penitentiary
in March, 1895, for 10 years for forg-
ing city warrants, was given his free
dom to-day. The state board of par
dons approved the pardon recently
granted by the governor. There were
no protests. A brother of Brett's lv-
ing in England has sent him the nee
essary funds to pay his passage to
Australia, and he will leave for there
at once, where he has a position wait
ing for him. Brett obtained several
thousand dollars before his forgeries
were discovered. He was travelling at
rapid pace, and finding his salary in
adequate for furnishing funds, resorted
to forgery to keep his end up. Previous
to his downfall he held a number of
responsible positions to the satisfaction
of his employers. He had many friends
who. after he had been four years in
the penitentiary, began to petition the
governor for his release. Some of the
leading business ard professional men

released. as they believed that he had
