THE LAST DAY OF GRACE
Given Butte Shelters in Which
to Abate the Nuisance.
ORDER HAS. BEEN IGNORED
The Boston g. Montana the Only Com
pany Which Has Taken Any Steps
in the Matter--It Is Build
ing Tall Stack.

To-day is the LIST of May. and the ex-
piration OF the time given the owners
of the Butte smelters to take some
steps toward preventing a recurrence
of the smoke aff1iction. 1t was over
three months ago that Judge Lindsay
took notice of the fact that the law
regarding public nuisances as well as
the lives and comforts of the people
of Butte, was constantly violated and
ignored by the smelter owners, and an
nounced his intention of having the
deadly nuisance abated before he left
the bench of the district court. He rec
ognized that it would require a great
amount of preparation and work to
ahate the nuisance without closing
down the smelters and he gave the
companies until the 1st of May to do
something and show their intentions to
give some regard in future to the
health and lives of the people and to
the laws of the state. He stated at
the time that if it was shown by the
list of May that the companies were
acting in good faith and required an
extension of time it would be granted
them.
Except for a report that the Boston
G. Montana contemplates building 600
foot smol-e stack to carry off the smell
ter fumes, not the least heed has an.
parently been given to the courts
order.
w. A. Clark, who owns the Butte
Reduction Works, the most offending
of all smelters. has been kept too busy
buying a seat in the United States SEN
ate, and could therefore give no per-
sonal attention to the smoke question,
but his newspaper, expressing his
wishes and sentiments, has frequently
referred to the matter and hurled de-
fiance at the court and dared it to-
enforce it's orders.
Neither the Parrot nor the Colorado
company have done anything, and the
Montana Ore purchasing company had
other trouble that engaged all it's time,
money and energy.
l. 1t was stated yesterday that the
Boston & Montana company had posi-
lively decided to build 600-foot brick
stack al it's smelter or rather at the
Butte & Boston smelter. and that work
upon it would soon begin, several emf
nent engineers having already been
engaged to superintend it's construc-
ton, for which plans have been drawn.
1t is to be the largest stack of it's kind
in the world, according to reports.
1t is possible that Judge Lindsay
may make some inquiries to-day as to
what the smelling companies have
done.

The Republicans promised the coun-
try better times and they are fulfilling
their promises, despite the obstacles
their opponents have been throwing
in their way. The carping critic
who will not open his eyes to the in
dustrial and business activity going
on around him but who continues to
carp and criticise is nothing more
than partisan, and seeks to avoid
the truth rather than tell it. You
may talk antitrust, anti-eXpanSion,
anti-tariff. anti-Sound money, and
anti-everything, but the great mass
of the people are paying little atten-
tion to these things so long as they
can get good wages for their labor,
good prices for their products and
their holmes are surrounded by pros
perity and plenty. a Republican adj
ministration at the helm is the great
est blessing the old Ship of State can
bestow upon Decentralization (Na.)

PROSPERITY AND BALLOTS.

The New York Evening Post, frank
ly admitting the present prosperity
of the country, falls to speculation
upon the effect this prosperity will
have on the ballot. II says; ''An in
teresting question is raised by one of
the conditions in the present cam
paign-the effect of National pros
perity upon the way that voters cast
their ballots. That the country is
really prosperous even the Bryanites
admit; that they have at least aband-
oned the attempt which some of them
made last year to argue that the APP
pearance of good times were faHaci-
GUS"
The Post finds that, as a rule, hard
times are fatal to the party in power
during the stress of the panic, but al
so gives an instance in which pros
perity did not prevent political
change. II points to the election of
1892, when, in the midst of Astounding
prosperity, the voters defeated Presi-
dent Harrison and elected Mr.. Cleye-
land,
That certainly was "a phenomenal
performance. But it may be account
ed for on the theory that every gen.
Grafton must earn its own lesson by
bitter experience. There was GER
taInly no stopping the tendency to
try the nostrums of the free traders.
They had deluged the country with
their roamances for wears and the
country was finally persuadedsto buy
gold brick. We do not believe that
this generation viii buy any more
gold bricks, but will rather realize
that the Republican policy is the
source of present prosperity and con-
tinue that policy.
If Mr.. Bryan were trying to wreck
a business enterprise in the way he is
trying to wreck National prosperity
he would be put under bonds, or be
restrained in some other way quite as
effectiye.-R Rochester. N. W Demo
