British Success Has Failed TO
n, Help the Market.
MUST HAVE A LEADER
A Lawson Needed to Start Speculation
Skyward-The Metal is
Firm.

INT Butte spectators who have some
hundreds of thousands of dollars tied
up in copper mining shares are wonder
ing where they will get off at. They were
LED to believe heretofore that British
reverses In the Transvaal were respons-
ible for low prices and that with one or
Two good victories for the British, the
~ "ket would turn and stocks go bound
inA Upward.
The turning point has apparently been
reached in the British-Boer campaign.
but the success of British arms has my
thing but an elevating influence on the
copper mining shares. Instead they
have dropped steadily and to-day touch
ed loWer prices. The fact seems to be
that Notwithstanding the general pros
per1ty Of the country the public is not
IN a mood to speculate. This is prob
ably due to the uncertainty regarding
the future course of money. The treas
ury Is again corralling money and this
condition it is believed cannot long ex-
list without having an adverse effect upon
bank reserves.
What the market requires just now is
anotner Tom Lawson to lead it," said a
. Butte man, WhO is reported to have
$1oo.c0o invested in coppers. to an Inter
mountain man to-day. That's all that
is needed-a leader" he continued. Let
some bold leader take the initiative and
you will see a big boom in the copper
shares. The fact is that the public holds
too much Of this stock and the fellows
who bought at ridiculously low prices
in December are awaiting a chance to
unload. A sharp decline might help the
market, as then many of the weak
holders would be forced to unload. With
the stocks in the hands of a CLIQUE in.
stead of in the hands of the public q
very respectable boom could he started.
The pulls now have every favor in their
advantage but they are indisposed to
push their advantage"
: The copper market remains firm and
prices are well maintained. The Lewis
ohn's are credited with having sold some
10000, 900 pounds of copper recently but
the demand. still remains unsatis1ed.
The production of the metal since the
beginning of the year has been enormous
but the demand is greater still and It
is considered doubtful if any large guam
tity of the metal can be obtained below
16h cents. From every point of view
the copper market situation could not
be more gratifying. And yet in view
OF these facts the copper shares are SELL
Ing much lower to-day than they were
last year at this date, when the outlook
was not near as encouraging.
The closing quotations of the copper
shares to-day were:

1829-'3O Over the Framing Of Constitu-

OF this convention We're chosen from the
Senatorial districts-four from each; but

which, while they have brought remote
places closer together. have rendered places
nearer by much farther apart IN the mat
ter of association and sociabilty. 'Off the
railroad" is now practically out OF the
world. Before the days Of railroads, when
everybody travelled by private convey
ances, in public stages, or on horseback.
there was a much closer neishborhood or
local acquaintance Everybody knew
everybody else in a radius of forty or fifty
miles. 1t is not 50 now, and the argument
is strong that the counties, rather than
the cities, choose the delegates, selecting
them, however on the lines laid down in
the sentences quoted from Mr.. Grigsby.
The suffrage was then Very restricted.
It was practically a freehold suffrage.
EVERY male citizen OF adult age (other
than free negroes, mulattoss, or such as
refused assurance OF fidelity 10 the Com
monwealth) possessed OF twenty-five acres
OF land with a house twelve feet square
on it. or OF fifty acres OF land uuimproved,

all the rest; and mostly for a consideration.
It would be almost purely academic to
discuss in detail the proceedings of this
convention. Giants strove nightly with
giants over an issue-known as the Basis
and Apportionment of Representation

contestants. 1t is now dead issue--to be
relegated to the past. Yet if there be any
who wish 10 inform themselves at large on
the theory and science of enlightened, free
government, there Is more 10 be learned
from TIA Debates OF this convention than
in Almost any other one book extant-
The fact remains, When considered from

few or no radical departures from the

George Mason and unanimously adopted
