tober. 1894. when they amounted to sSs,-

the amount for the corresponding
months Of 1894. The exports exceeded
the imports by s4a9. So 1855. While in 1894
this status was reversed. For the first
time in our history. too, the exports this
year will exceed 500. coo. coo for every

MARK TWAIN.

OF all the tributes Mark Twain has re-
ceived since his return home, the most
beautiful was that paid by one of the
speakers at the Lotus club banqeut in
New York. who borrowed this for the
occasion from DR.. Van Dykes "Footpath
to Peace and applied DIT to Mark:
To be glad of life, because it gives you
the chance to love and to work and to
play and to look up at the stars; to be
satisfied with your possessions but not
contented with yourself until you have
made the best of them; to despise moth
ing in the world except falsehood and
meanness, and to fear nothing except
cowardiee; to he governed by your admit
rations rather than by your ~disgusts; to
cove nothing that is you neighbours ex-
cept his kindness of heart and gentleness
of manners; to think seldom of your enc
mics and often of your friends. and to
spend as much time as you can, with
body and with spirit, in Gods out-of
doors-these are little guideposts on the
eootpath TO peace.

THE REAL REVOLUTION.

tits not yet possible to give the exact
vote cast for president, but figures at
hand show that McKinley's plurality will
not be less than TAO, 900, against Coz, 900
four years ago. Corrected returns are
more likely to increase than decrease
this plurality.
The returns show that the real revo-
luton took place in the western states,
where Bryan counted upon holding his
own. In 1896 Bryan's pluralities aggre-
gated 2so.S6e. and McKinley's 1o,56S in
his group of states: Kansas. Nebraska.
South Dakota. North Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming. Colorado. Utah, Idaho. Ne
vada, Washington. Oregon n Califor-
MIA. This year the same group gave
Mckinley pluralities agsregating 129, 46s,
and Bryan pluralities ~aggregating Z 800.
Out of the thirteen states comprising
the group, Bryan carried ten in 1896 ana
only four this ear. while Mckinley car
ried only three four years ago II nine
this year, a practical reversal of the
former verdict.

cial bearing on the natter except in fix

. MONUMENT TO MARCUS DAILY,

The Inter Mountain is but giving ex-
preston to a purpose generally enter
tanned by the people of this state when
it suggests a to the late
Marcus DAILY. To those now living no
reminder of his industrial achievements
will ever become necessary. but future
generations will be benefited if a bronze
or granite monument shall serve to re-
call the example Of his life and deeds
and teach a lesson Of thrift, of courage,
of energy. of generosity and OF self-con-
tfdenee. Then. too, the people who knew
Marcus DAILY and all who have been the
peneficiaries OF his life work would like
to do honor to his memory. and his con-
sideration alone is enough to justify an
organization looking to the erection of
a monument to commemorate in endur-
ing stone the history Of a great private
career from which great public good re-
suited.

made possible the later development of
the state under the wondrous energy of
such men as Marcus Daily. Messrs.
Henry Mueller and Ex-Governor Rick
ards also have excellent ideas on the
subject. as will appear in their inter-
views. It is the suggestion OF the Inter
Mountain. however. that the details of
the monument enterprise be left to the
business men of Butte and the associa-
ton they ave formed: they are among
Butte's best citizens, and they will not
fail in any public undertaking. A mon
ument committee composed of the right
men should first be appointed by the
association if the suggestion of a. monu.
ment meets with it's approval. An ad-
dress to the people Of Montana might
then follow. The rest would be a matter
OF detail and could be speedily nj

way of contributions would be liberal

BISHOP PoTTER's TRIUMPH.

Bishop Potter is one of the Grand men
Of New York. He has been engaged in
noble work all his life and has crowded
his years full of high deeds. Notwith-
most practical of men, and despite his
gentleness, can, when the occasion de-
fates. For a long time he has been en-
deavoring to check vice in New York,
to save the young girls and uplft the
boys. In this great struggle he found
that he was opposed by the police of
New York and by the administration in
that city.
Finally the creatures of Richard Gro
ker threw off the mask, openly defed
Bishop Potter and heaped insults upon
his associates.
Then the hour struck. The insolence of
the police authorities kindled all the
fires of Indignation in Bishop Potter's
heart, and the protest that he sent out
thrilled the great city as nothing in re-
cent years has done. In less than Il
week New York was in a such a blaze
that Croker found himself unable to face
the storm.
BY this time, the reform movement is
sweeping onward with such mighty
power that the fate of Tammany seems
sealed. Nothing like it in force and in
tensity has ever been witnessed there
before. 1t is we'll to remember at such
a time how this has been brought about,
for in that, every one who believes in de-
ty, every one who believes in honest gov
eminent, has cause for rejoicing.
In his letter to Mayor Van Wyck,
Bishop Potter used these words-words
backed by the crushing power Of truth
and with the radiance of love shining
through them: II approach you, sir, tc
protest with all my power against a con.
dition of things in which vice is not only
tolerated, but shielded and encouraged

l have to write about nothing, it is

about. Having nothing to write about,
of course l must write about nothing.
But to write at all, is to write about
something. What a dilemma Should

have done my very best the result will
be nothing. Even the empty cipher,

Guided: for to be representative is to

write amounts to nothing. This is,

"A dog kennel upon the root Of ain
story building surrounded by tall sky
scrapers. In the midst Of the busiest

OF the curiosities Chicago has to offen
says the Chicago Tribune. This novel
kennel is located upon the roof Of q
prominent downtown theater and Ia
the property Of department store i'm.
mediately adjoining, It has been
maintained with great success for
three years. The dogs in this kennel
are fox terriers and are used by the
manager of the department store I'd
keep the place clear of rats that fairly
overran the place before their intro
duction. The manager claims they are
superior, to cats or professional rat
catchers, as, unlike cats, they are
clearly in their habits, and unlike the
professional rat man they do get rid
of the rats that infest the place, both
by killing and frightening them away.
Before we introduced these little
four-footed guardians the damage
wrought by rodents ran up into the
thousands of donars every year; now
our loss is comparatively slight" said
the manager. There have never been
less than six and sometimes as high
as twenty dogs in the kennels at one
time. Twenty litters of puppies have
been born during the two years the
tanitor has been in charge, averaging
five pups to the litter. This makes 100
dogs that have sprung to life upon the
rooftop in that time, and of that num-
Der but one was lost, and 1t was acci-
dentally pushed over the edge of the
roof into the areaway in the rear of the
building and was crushed to death by
the fall of six stories.
There are at present seven dogs in
the kennels, and but one of them, a
bull terrier lately introduced, has ever
set foot upon the ground.
Perhaps as curious as anything con-
nected with these aerial kennels are
the names the janitor, who is of a
poetic nature, has bestowed upon the
dogs. There are six fox terriers, the
males being named "Sky," "Air,"
CLOUD" Smoke" and "Vapor," while
the female glories in the name of "sun-
shine" The bull terrier, which is as
white as bull terriers can be, bears
the name Of "Soot." |
