only have remarkable inventions enlarg-
ed the scope of electrical appliances, and
given to electricity a unitarian field
which Ben Franklin with his kite never
could have dreamed of, but long steps
have been taken in the direction OF
economy in its uses.
To make electricity a useful factor in
the progress of the world the question of
economy has been uppermost in the
minds of practical men of fairs. To hat
end. inventive genius has exerted itself,
with the result that electricity for pow
er. heating and lighting purposes, can be
furnished for a much lesser figure than
a few years ago. The progress made in
the direction of econom in the past is an
augury of still greater steps in that di-
rection in the future. The world is ripe
for the Introduction of improved meth
DDS of supplying the subtle power that
will make it's use more general than at
present. on account of the cheapness with
which it can be furnished.
In view of these facts. the Inter Noun
tain notes with disapproval the PROPOSE
ton now on foot to give the electric light
company of this city a ten-year contract
to furnish Butte with lights. While a
small saving alone can be made over
present prices by reason of such an ex-
tended contract. the advantages which
the consumer has in prospect. in the way
of cheaper illumination. will be wholly
lost for a long period of time. 1t is not at
all improbable that within the mex three
or four or five years, at the outside, pres
ent experimentation will develop ways
and means for the much cheaper handling
| Of electricity in all it's forms.
There is little room to doubt the early
introduction Of such improvements, and
if tied up by a ten-year contract the city
vancements made in electrical science
would by right entitle it. 1t is to be
hoped, therefore, that no undue haste vii
be manifested in binding the munich
pality down to a specific outlay for the
forthcoming decade, when it is 50 clearly

Montana not only appreciates the great
honor conferred on this state by the
injecting Of the national irrigation, com
igress, now holding it's eighth annual ses-
sion in the city of Missoula, but INDUCES
the hope that it's deliberations may re-
suit in much benefit to the state. It
unfortunately has been the experience
of the past that mining congresses and
irrigation congresses, n the like, have
proved of little practical use, for the rea-
seldom take root and blossom into bust
ness enterprises of value to the state.
1t is doubtful if any mining congress-,
for instance, has given birth to an idea
Industry. The one held in Salt Lake last
year was an aggregation of impractical
absurdities that resulted in no good
whatever, and might have don consid-
cradle harm had many of its propositions
met with final approval. Irrigation con-
presses. however, have made a better
record. The facts usually brought forth
are reasoned out along unitarian lines,
and the value of reclaimed lands set forth
in a light that serves to stimulate capt.
tai into making investments with agri-
cultural results in view.
1t can be conclusively shown that the

provided the soil is properly fructified by
water. It's rich volcanic ash has a cere-
al producing power of marvellous scope
and durability. When to this fact is
added the impossibility of a crop failure
under irrigation, and the ability of the
~husbandman to figure with almost GER
tainty upon the character and condition
of his crops when planted, and thus adj
just his expenditures to his income, the
advantages offered by this method of
farming become at once apparent.
It lies within the purview of an irriga-
ton congress to set before the world in
conference.-the facts as to the advant-
ages that will accure from the reclama-
ton of the useless wastes of territory
now known as the arid belt, and to show
the best methods to pursue in carrying
out the great work of making the desert
blossom as a rose" Idle capital can, in
fact, find no better and safer investment
than retaining arid lands, and it is one
of the duties of an irrigation congress to
prove his statement to the world. The

suits, for the high character of it's mem
bership is a guarantee that no effort to

FIX MINISTER BARRETT ON THE
PHILIPPINES.

San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 90
Expansion has a recently arrived advo-
cate in this city in the person of john
Barrett, ex-minister to Siam. during a
residence of several years in the Orient
Barrett made a study of the political and
commercial conditions there. After leav-
ing Siam. Barrett spent nine months in
Manila during a very %eventful period. He
left there last March and returned to the
United States by way of Europe. Since
his arrival he has been engaged in writ
ing books about Admiral Dewey and
Philippine matters and in making
speeches before the chambers of COM
merce in the principal cities. On Thurs
day, at 2:3O P. NJ, he will address the
, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce on
''Our Commercial Interests and Opportu-
mites in the Pacific and Far East Last

where he spoke on ''The Duties of Civil

The great issue that has come to be

This morning the Standard tries to
make it appear, through a dextrous
manipulation of phrases, that the repub-
lican administration is somehow respon-
sible for an alleged Washington dispatch
which though wisely not published by
the Standards said to have reflected
Indirectly upon the Montana, and other
volunteers. This silly attempt to. arouse
a feeling of prejudice is SCARCELY. untitled
to the dignity of a reply. Itsis too unut-
terably cheap to call for sefibus honsid-
Grafton, and the marvel Of it IS that even
the Standard should attempt toacrowd
such rot down the throat Of an intelli-
gent public. 1t can only be accounted for
on the theory hat the Standard feels
that the props have been so effectually
knocked out from under it on the Phil
ippine issue that another tact is neces-
sary to recover lost ground.

the NJ GEMS or M0RK.

1t is always gratifying to see a demo-
cratic newspaper wax patriotic. After
finding fault with the natural results Of
Dewey's great victory in Manila bay,
the Butte Miner now seems willing to
r~everentially bow down before the hero
Of that great achievement. This morn
ing it gives birth to a few editorial gems
that are worthy of preservation. having
a bearing as they dc on the character
and standing of the popular admiral.
The Miner says:
If Admiral Dewey has made up his
mind he does not want to enter politics,
he won't. "
1t is gratifying to learn that the ad-
miral will refuse to enter politics, if he
has made up his mind to that effect.
Some men would enter politics, or any
thing else, for that matter. after they
had made up their minds not to do so.
Then the Miner explains how it knows
that Dewey will not enter politics. if he
has made up his mind to stay out Of
them. 1t says: 80 4
That square jaw that has become SO
familiar to the American people IN the
last year or more. does not, bespeak a
vacillating disposition.
1t is commendable on the part Of our
morning contemporary to speak of
Dewey's jaw as being square. for the
jaw of the Miner. and other democratic
newspapers. during the past year. has
been anything but square. But the Miner
finally gets into the inner consciousness
of the admiral and says: .
1T will be queer if Admiral Dewey does
not contrast his departure with his home
coming.
It will, indeed: but how did the Miner
find that out? Perhaps the following is
intended as an explanation:
Admiral Dewey is one Of those men,
that you cannot tell What they will do.
! Except that whenever he undertakes
anything YOU can expect greater results
than it hardly seems possible to dream
of.

character IN a nutshell, as it We're! You

SENATOR CARTER ON EXPANSION.

Sept. 20.-We are very proud of the
achievements of our soldier boys. Mon
tana was called Upon for about 600
troops. The state furnished over 1000
splendid men. and if the federal govern
nlent had continued to accept u vol
unteers a sufficient number would have
enlisted to make several regiments. The
troops will arrive during the week. and
it's most gratifying to observe that the
visiting mountaineers will receive most
cordial support from the citizens of San
Francisco in extending to them a hearty
welcome home.
This city is obviously enjoying it's full
share of the great industrial and COM
mercial activity now prevailing through
out the entire country. There is no just
cause for provincialisfn or local jealousy
