that everything IS all right and that
the turmoil Of war is only passing
cloud on the diplomatic sky.
Mr. WI should not be taken serious
ly He receives no communications
from his government. and he don't
know what he represents. if anything.
He simply smiles and smiles, while
his countrymen kill, ravage and burn.
He is treated with every courtesy. in
an enlightened and Christian land,
while our representative at the court
of his government is virtually a pris-
oner of war, and the troops of his SOW
ereign murder our missionaries, burn
their churches and houses, massacre
their native converts, shoot down our
troops and fire upon our ships The
contrast ought to make Minister WI
think. Under the circumstances
American authorities might with en-
tire justification place him in close
confinement, or an American mob
stone him to death in the streets, but
his freedom, his liberty and his abso-
lutte safety are assured. That is where
civilization triumphs over the pagan,
and that victory is worth more than
many battles won.

AN ABLE SUMMARY.

There have appeared in these columns
during the last eight months some
twenty letters dealing with the con-
nection between trusts and the protec-
tive tariff. This series, written by
number of eminent men and dealing
both with specific cases and with the
subject in general was conducted by
the New England Free Trade League.
for whom President Lamb sums up in
letter which we publish to-day.
Mr. Lambs letter points out the strik-
ing manner in which recent events
have supported the position taken by
the writers of these articles, that tariff
protection to trusts was a serious in
jury to the business of the country as
well as a grievous burden to the con-
sumner. 1t was to be expected that the
Leagues publication would take a
sound view of the business of the coun
try, for it numbers in the officers who
conduct it practical and successful bus
mess men of long experience.
Those who wish for reliable informa-
ton and sound comment upon the
greatest evils of trusts will find them
in this series of articles. which have
been reprinted in pamphlet form anc
may be obtained by writing to the

The correspondents who premature
ly arrived at Kansas City are telling
some good stories over the wires by
way of putting in the time, and one Of
them is too good to be lost. A dele
gate from Kentucky fell into good
company, was out rather late at night,
and took several drinks too many.
When he reached his hotel room, in
the early morning hours he fancied a
bath would be a good thing. He filed
the tub, but forgot the formality of re-
moving his clothing before he got in.
Along about breakfast time he was
missed and friend fished him out of
the bath and took steps to dry him
out. This settles it with me; here's
where l swear off; no more for yours
truly. You can bet on that" But"
said his friends, you don't mean to
say, Bill, you're going to quit drink
ing!" Quit drinking nothing" said
the Kentuckian. who said anything
about quitting drinking? I'm going to
stop taking baths

The news come from the authori-
ties in Paris who make the feminine
fashions for most of the world that the
long skirt is no longer the proper
thing and must go, to be succeeded by
skirt but slightly shorter than that
dedicated to rainy days, and warrant
ed not to drag in the dirt and stir up
and gather the multitudinous filth of
the average city sidewalk. This ought
to be good news for the ladies, who for
something over a year have been ac-
quiring sprained wrists and rheuma-
tism and running their naturally an
gelic tempers by attempts to elevate a
dress three inches and a fraction too
long If this coming dress reform can
be amended so as to include two sens
ible side pockets the average female
will find new beauties in life.

a Good Performance at the Grand Last
Evening.

"Why Smith Left Home should have
been entitled The Cook Lady" Very
few who witnessed the performance OF
the clever, roilicking farce-comedy last
evening at the Grana did not leave the
house convinced that Lizzie May Timer,
in the role of cook, did not come pretty
near being the whole show" AT times
She was inclined to make just bit more
out of the part than properly belongs
to it, but the general excellence of her
character work caused small slips to be
forgotten.
Eleanor La Sale as Julia, ''touchingly
Clever" did some very neritorious work.
The young lady is pleasing to look upon,
has rich. sympathetic voice and min
giles effrontery and occurrences in very
humorous fashion.
Douglas Flint as John Smith made
a good impression on his audience. He
is clever actor, and if he should drop
a little suspicious inclination toward
"horse play" would produce just as
good an impression and come nearer
attaining the ideal in dramatic art.
Gus Mortimer as Count Won Guggen-
helm, in love With the wife of Smith
while believing her to be Smiths sister
makes a clever and enjoyable portrait
ure of the nervous. excitable German
aristocrat, whose temperament and scant
knowledge of the English tongue com.
bine to cause many ludicrous blunders
Taking the company as whole. it Is
fairly strong and well balanced. There
are no striking representations, barring
the "cook lady," but nearly all do wei
| in their respective casts-there are M
| really poor players in the troupe.
The engagement Of why Smith Lef
| Home" includes matinee tomorrow
| and performances this evening and to

THE COPPER
MINING SHARES
THE UPWARD TREND OF ANAL.
GAMATED DISCUSSED IN
BUTTE.
BOSTON & MONTANA
REMAINS STATIONARY.
Studying the GCave'' System in Utah
The Porphyry Dike-The
Bowery Mine.

The copper mining share market in
Boston and New York and the trend of
some OF the shares to higher prices, to
the exclusion of others, afforded much
interesting speculation among the Butte
holders of copper shares during the past
week. The vagaries Of the market have
Deen freely compented upon, especially
the fact that during last Saturday alone
Ama,gamated was traded in to the ex-
tent Of $4,000 shares.
Yesterday, Amalgamated reached its
high point for the year-S9S.5O. The state
ment was also made in New York yester-
day that important negotiations were
under way in the affairs of the Amalga-
mated which would tend to put the price
upon a much higher level. Many of the
eastern spectators Immediately jumped
to the conclusion that the important ne
gotiatiOns" were that settlement Of the
matter in dispute between Messrs. Clark
and Heinze and the Ama'gamated copper
interests had been effected, but no infor-
nation has reached Montana upon which
such conclusion could be based.
Another of the surprises in the copper
share market was the big jump of Butte
& Boston to S95, upon the announcement
that the company had paid its first divi-
dent or 30 per share, while Boston &
Montana, which paid $45 per share divi-
dends this year, and will probably pay
$50 next year. remained stationary at
1920. A year ago last April when Butte
& Boston reached it's high point and was
selling around $95 per share, Boston &
Montana was active around $400.
Anaconda and Parrot have also made
important gains during the past week,
presumably on the strength of the Anal
gamated and the rumor of the settlement
of pending litiga lion.

ONLY ONE YEAR.
Horace Barton Escapes With Mild
Sentence

Horace A. Barton, the Butte mail
Clerk who pleaded guilty to a charge of
roDbing the United States mail, will
spend only one year in the penitentiary
instead of two, as stated in the Inter
Mountain last night.
Shortly after Judge Knowles had sem
fenced the prisoner to two years Attor-
ney Kirk returned to the room and
called the courts attention to the fact
that under the provisions OF Section 1891
the maximum punishment provided was
one year.
Judge Knowles caused Barton to be
brought into the court room again ana
re-sentenced him to one year, and the
prisoner appeared to be very much
pleased with the change.
In the county Jail the prisoners have
elected Barton a. judge of the kangaroo
court, and the latter says that he has
had a lot of fun out of the matter. AS
he will be leaving for Deer Lodge soon,
it will be necessary for him to resign
the office.

ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION OF THE
Law RELATING TO OFFICIAL
POSITIONS,

The query sent to the Inter Mountain
by, an Anaconda subscriber as to wheth-
er John M. Madden mayor of that city:
J. IN Kennedy, police magistrate, and
Thomas McTague. a state prison con-
tractor, can qualify as members of the
state legislature without first resign
ing their offices. has excited the liveliest
interest among the legal fraternity Of this
city.
Several attorneys construe the law in
sueh manner that Madden and Ken
nedy can retain their official positions
as municipal officers, but are doubtful
as'to whether McTague can qualify. stat
ing that in case the legislature should fix
rates regarding contracts the point of law
involved would be whether or not such
fixing of rates could ibe construed as
making contract.
The following opinion on the subject,
inimical to Messrs. Madden and Kennedy.
is furnished by a local attorney, who has
attained eninence in his profession:
Section l. article w., of the constitu-
ton of the state of Montana, says: The
powers of the government of this state
are divided into three distinct depart
ments--the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial-and no person or collection Of per
properly belonging to one of these de-
partments shall exercise any powers
prcTerly belonging to either OF the others
except as in this constitution expressly
directed Or permitted
'sSection Z, article ", provides that
no senator or representative shafl, dur
ing the tenn for which he shall have been
elected, be appinted to any civil office un-
der the state: and no member of con-
gress, or other person holding an office
Except notary public. or in the Hdlitia)
under the United States or this state.
shall be member Of either house during
his continuance in office
These two sections, taken in connec-
tion with sections $50 and 3S2 of the polit-
ical code of the state of Montana. would
seem to indicate that neither Mr.. Madden
nor Mr.. Kennedy could hold their Off
ces as mayor and police magistrate re-
spectively of the city of Anaconda and at
ature.
''Secton $50, as above quoted. defines
executive officers to be: !, civil; or, 2,

designation OF the civil executive officers
are as follows: A governor; ETC.. s.
