MINING AT JOHANNESBURG.

One Of The first evidences of peace in
the Transvaal is the preparations max
ing to resume work at the johannesburg
mines. 1t will require about three
months to restore them to workable con-
dition, as many Of them have been in
jured BY water. Some of the deepest
have filled up to a depth Of 1900 feet.
1t is not believed that any Of the prop
critics lave been dynamited BY the
Beers, though for a time their complete
destruction was threatened. The mills
are intact. johannesburg contains only
about 5000 people now, 90, 900 British be-
ing away either fighting in the ranks of
the colonials or waiting at the seaports
for the conclusion of the war. The
restoration Of railroad traffic is now the
great problem. The district consumes
lis, 600 tons Of coal per month, and until
the railroad can be restored to it's former
condition the mines must remain idle.
Under British rule the whole Rand coun-
try will be thrown open to the pros
pector, n mining licenses reduced SO
that hereafter the output of gold is likely
to be greater than ever.

Some Western HemiS=
phere Horrors.
(By a Special Contributor.)

The recent loss of life and property at
Galveston suggests other events in the
history of the western hemisphere,
wherein the forces of nature have oper-
ated on a gigantic scale to show the
feebleness and uncertainty of human eff
fort. Among such disastrous events
must be mentioned the great fires in
Portland. Boston and Chicago, the
March blizzard in New York and up and
dow the Atlantic coast, the Charleston
devastated Porto Rico and the famous
st. Thomas hurricane of a quarter of a
century ago., the Johnstown flood, and
perhaps greatest of all the Venezuelan
earthquake of 1872.
In respect to great fires. that of Chi
ago was probably the most destructive
of any in the history of the world. The
accidental upsetting of a kerosene lamp
by Mrs. O'Leary's COW started a con-
Migration that consumed 10000 buildings
of a total value of $500, 900, 900, accom-
panied with a loss of 200 lives. The great
London fire destroyed but II, 900 houses,
and the property loss at Moscow was
but three quarters of that of Chicago.
No accurate statistics are preserved of
the comparative effects Of Nero's spec
tacular representation Of the burning of
Troy. but it is probable that the loss
was not equal to that Of any Of the mod.
ern cities mentioned.
Fires in great cities however, though
terrible at the time. hav on the whole,
in the long run, been blessings to the
municipalities in which they have oc-
Cured. for Portland, Boston, Chicago,
London, Moscow, and Rome have risen
from their ashes, more beautiful, more
prosperous n certainly more health
full than before.
But generally the destruction wrought
by tempest, volcano and earthquake has
not been recovered from with the same
thoroughness as has thai caused by
fire. Humanity is awe struck by
the terrible manifestation Of the Infn-

marching to destroy our homes and to
destroy our families.
We believe thai no language ear over
state the infinite distress that the gold
standard means to the human race.
1 believe we shall win now. But
whether we win now or not. we have
begun a warfare against the gold stand
ard which shall continue until the gold
standard is driven from our shores back
to England.
Where is the democratic warfare of
determination against the gold standard
now, with all the gold democrats back
in the party? What about the anti
silver attitude of every eastern news
paper without Il word of rebuke from
Bryan? What of Bryan's statement
that not an American citizen dare advo-
that three-fifths of the Kansas City
convention was against a mention of
free silver in the platform? Where is
the infinite distress the gold standard
was to bring upon the human race, since
his nation is more prosperous than ever,
and there is not a whisper for silver in
any country of Europe? The warfare
which Bryan proposed to begin against
the gold standard till it was driven back
to England has been lost in the shuttle.
The only warfare he has begun is against
the American army of occupation in
Luzon, sent there to suppress rebellion
in American territory, protect life and
property threatened by Aguinaldo's cut
threats and to establish government for
the inhabitants as rapidly as they be-
come able to appreciate it's advantages.
Bryan will not do. He shifts his posi-
ton too often. He is not talking free
coinage frankly and fairly, as he did in
1896. His party organs in Montana a
almost forgotten the subject, and GER
tainly advance no further arguments Of
the old sort.

GENERAL LAWTON'S LETTER.

The Anaconda Standard seeks to raise
a doubt as to the authenticity of the
letter received last winter by eN-Min-
lister John Barrett from the late General
Lawton, in which that lamented soldier
wrote thai if he should be killed by a
though it had. come from one of the
guns of his own men, in view of the
encouragement which certain Americans
were extending to the Tagal rebels.
1t is not strange that the democratic
press =; trying to asst doubt upon that
letter. 1t was the last message from
an American battlefield to the American
people, telling of the effect of the traitor
deadly work in the rear While the SOL
diers of the Union were facing the enemy
of their country and the revilers of it's
flag.
lenged John Barrett to prove the genu-
ineness of the letter, supposing it pos
sible that as General Lawton did not
take a letter press copy of it the bluff
! paign and the democracy escape the
terrible responsibility which that letter
fixes upon Aguinaldo's American coad-
tutors.
But the scheme will not work. A ha,f
dozen men now in Butte heard John Bar
rett read that letter for the first time
in public. 1t was read at the annual
dinner given by the New England society
in the banquet hall of the Waldorf AS
toria hotel, New York, about last Christ
mas, if it was not Christmas night.
Many Of the most eminent men of the
nation, democrats and republicans, We're
there. The letter, after being read, was
reverently examined by many of the dis
tinguished guests CT the evening, the
whole scene being plainly visible to a
score of hotel guests who We're present
as spectators in the gallery. Mr.. Barrett
has read the letter many times, and it
has been freely quoted in republican
newspapers. Not until now has its
authenticity ever been doubted. 1t is
not doubted by any honest men. There
are in this country too many friends of
the late General Lawton who are famil-
lar with his handwriting. too many who
know that he said in that letter
is true to justify any mar in %disputine
the authorship of the letter. Besides
John Barrett is an honorable gentleman,
who properly scorns the bourbon insinu-
alton.

PUTTING IT FLAT.

one night, when the governors favortte

around several times in his hands and
had swallowed equally as often he said:

NO CORPORATE DICTATION.

The talk of corporate dictation" in
the deliberations of the republican state
convention is not so insistent as it was.
1t is too ridiculous to command the at
tention of sane and sober men.
1t is too false to be resorted to by any
newspaper that has a particle of self
respect or any desire to enjoy the public
confidence.
The Inter Mountain promptly chal-
lenged the lie when it first started nj
called for the evidence.
There was no evidence. There is a
limit to human m~endacity.

The county ticket nominated by the
republicans has been before the people
nearly three weeks. 1t is the best ticket
on the score of honesty, efficiency and
personal independence of it's nominees
ever offered for the suffrages of the
people of Silver Bow county.
The t~axpaying interests of the county
require that men in Office shall act con-
scientiously as the servants of the peo-
pie, and not imagine that a certificate
of election gives them a quit claim deed
to the county court house and it's con-
tents.
The legislative ticket is one which
speaks modestly and convincingly for
itself. The legislature will have some
thing to do besides electing two sena-
tors. The public business has been
shamefully neglected owing to political
turmoil, and the last legislature was
short in ability even if it had been will
ing to attend to the business for which
it was chiefly elected.
The republicans nave not only nomi-
mated a splendid legislative ticket, but

Those who hesitate to believe that
Bryan has abandoned silver, that he no
longer regards it as vital to the welfare
of the country, and that the events of
history have forced him to recognize
the fact that his arguments of four
Years g are now without force or
reason, should read what he said during
the Chicago convention in 1896, when he

THE NEW YORK NAVAL ARCH

Boston Herald: The naval arch is
doomed. All efforts to raise enough
money by subscription to reconstruct it
permanently in marble have failed pitia-
bly,. 1t is destined to survive only in
photographs. The protecting paint has
worn off. The exposed perfshable sqrb-
stance of the pediments and columns, the
entablatures and cornices, the ornate
capitals and the more or less artistic dec
orations , grows shabbier month by
month. Already the cry goes up that it
is an eyesore. The demand for it's re-
moval becomes. louder and more insist
ent. Fifth avenue is tired OF it.. Let it
be destroyed. 1t is even worse than an
eyesore. 1t is a reminder of the mean
ness of the metropolis-s2o0, 000. 900 for the
Ramapo job but no money for the nav
al arch. A bloody race riot once a fort
night; but no fine memorial to national
heroes. Immensely valuable public frau
chises given away to SPECTATORS; but no
sacrifices to nourish the pride of youth
in valor and patriotism. It would be
easier to raise in New York a million
dollars to erect a memorial to either sof
the city's supreme party bosses than half
that sun for any world renowned hero.

lite. and instead of being reused to new
endeavor, it is crushed by the greatness
of the calamity. The one helpful result
from such disasters. is the outburst of
sympathetic expression and practical
help that is always o by the now
edge of the needs of the victims. This
outburst is not limited by geographical
bounds or by social conditions and is one
of the best evidences we have of the
universal fact of human sympathy, In
the midst of the bitter struggle and sor-
did passion that sometimes seem to
pervade the modern world.
Such irremediable injury and such
spontaneous recognition of the great
fact of human brotherhood We're con-
spicuous in all the tempests that we
have mentioned and in the terrible
Johnstown flood, wherein, besides the
damage to property. 5000 human lives
were lost.
But in what was probably the most
destructive exhibition of natures forces
the western hemisphere has seen. to hu-
man reason there seems to have been no
consoling features. 1t occurred at a time
when the moral effect of the catastrophe
was peculiarly injurious. General MI
randa, by a combination of generalship
and craftsmanship had just succeeded In
effecting the independence of the Col
umbian colonies of Spain. The republic
had Just been established under appar-
emily favorable conditions. In Caracas,
the capital, a kind of national jubilee was
a prominent part of the celebration or
one of the leading festivals of the church.,
