or the other committed a crime-there Is
no getting away from that fact.
The anti-Clark men are just now un-
derneath. They went down with both
ewes badly blacked, several ribs caved
in. a beau-knot tied in their vermiform
anpendix. and a number of sun spots on
their liver. To again make themselves
presentable before the public and regain
their whilom prestige in the affections or
the people. they realize that the champion
belt must be wrested from Mr.. Clark at
all hazards. In the contest at Helena
they witnessed the fate Of a grandstand
play with such an eminent tragedian as
the immortal Whiteside in the title role,
and they will not repeat that mistake of
management. Their fight in Washington
will be conducted on the still-hunt prin-
cip1c, with a trained lawyer like Con-
gresham Campbell working the scenery
in the background.

s. The Butte Miner of this morning is GER
tainly at fault when it states in it's ref
erence to gambling in this city that there
is still nothing done" AS a matter Of
fact, a great deal has been done. Within
the past week the Inter Mountain has
persuaded the Anaconda Standard to take
grounds against gambling and classify it
with the crime of bribery. 1t is perhaps
unnecessary to explain to the Miner
what the Standard thinks of bribery. If
the officers of the law do not enforce the
statutes against gambling in this city
they may expect the same kline of a
roast from the Standard which that great
family journal VOuchsafed to the Helena
grand jury for its failure to indict my
body for bribery, Just wait till the
Standard gets a good ready, as the boys

ance or the fact that it's area did not much
exceed 146, 900 square miles. We have also
been under the impression that the
Louisiana purchase cost Uncle Sam SIS
Dut the commissioner makes the
purchase price nearly double that sum-.
In that he may also be correct. We shall
not stop the press to dispute the declara-
ton. geographically the report is neat
ly printed of fine book paper and is a
credit to the enterprising publishers who
add this gem to the nan which stamp
the art preservative as one in which
printers justly take pride.

ers sleep are broken and filthy and so
situate upon the top of the iron cage
in the center of the room that they
are dangerous to sleep in; no screening
the beds, and we are in
formed that prisoners have fallen from
them some eight or ten feet to the stone
floor beneath. There are no beds Of any
description in the different cells In the
iron cage and prisoners, when put in
there, are compelled to sleep upon the
floor, which is covered with, dirt. The
Jail appears to be kept in a dirty and
slOvenly manner n is totally UNITED
as a place of confinement for human be-
ings. 1t is a disgrace to the city OF Hell
ena.
The discovery that the municipal
affairs of Helena are in the hands of bar
barians will excite very little surprise UNI
der the circumstances The public is pre-
pared to hear almost anything. With so
many men in that city who ought to be
in Jail it is a matter of regret that the
place is made so u%ninviting. About the
only defense of the public morality of
Helena ever published was a newspaper
statement once to the effect that there
is a falling off of prisoners in the city
Jail" This was understood to be on ac-
count of the constant and rapidly devel-
oping morality on the part of it's citizens.
Blu the grand jury explains it all. The
failing off of prisoners was from the
top of the cage to the stone floor ten feet
below.
Helena is the homo of a dozen churches
in which the gospels of Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John are regularly e~xpounded
with untiring zeal, on a small salary. 1t
also has the benefit of all the ~elevating
influences of society from lavender teas
to Bob Smith, and yet that town has a
Jail that no respectable man can afford
to live in.
Seriously, Helena ought to be ashamed
of itself. It's inhuman treatment of pris-
oners under the present administration
as recited by the grand jury, is a dis
grace to the entire state. It is time thai
the Spaniards who are running the
municipal affairs of that town were
given to understand that the dark ages
belong to the past and not to the pro,
gressive civilization of the present cen
tury. .. -T. "a
