pose of the matter. There were four
candidates hut John Fallon and Daniel

successful candidates. In District 1,
John =. Kcarncy, of Archibald, was re-
elected by "a great majority over his

A curious story comes from New Or
leans, being told by the Times-Democrat
1t illustrates, first, an interesting fact
relating to the Industrial conditions pre-
vailing here and in Europe, and, second
ly shows the remarkable sensitiveness
of the human ear to various sounds. The
story concerns a man, totally blind, who
has just returned from a European trip,
and who, despite his affection, was able
to make important observations. He
told a reporter:
without hearing a spoken word, am
sure I could tell whether I was in Italy,
France, England or the United States,
merely by the roar of their respective
cities; by the grand organ note of their
teeming civilizations. The sound Of Italy
I could best describe as wooden. It is
soft and rather soothing. That of France
affected me something like the rattle CT
china. England had the dull, heavy roar
of an immense bell; but for harsh
stridence and metallic clangor there was
nothing resembling the national sound of
the United States. Here there is always
foremost the clatter of STEEL and to
judge merely by the sound I should say
that the substitution of that metal for
wood has gone 20 per cent further in
America than in the Old World, though.
of course. I can't speak for Germany, as
l did not visit that country"

The people Of Butte will interpose no
objections during the smoky period of
the winter months if the Butte Re-
duction works shall be moved to some
other locality or closed down on the COM
pletion of new plant elsewhere. Should
such a change affect business owing to
the removal Of some of the employees,
the fact would be deplored, but the loss
would doubtless be made up by an in
crease in the number of miners required
to extract the additional amount of ore
needed for a larger smelter Over one
half the smoke which is said at times
to offend the representative olfactor;es
OF pilgrims is reported to emanate from
the reduction works, so that in the early
winter months the new smelter PROPOSE
ton promises to add to Butte's fame as
a winter health resort.

Juige McClernan, one Of the new
judges Of this district, is rapidly making
a reputation for himself as a man with
the courage Of his convictions. He has
a sense Of duty to the public and is with
out that morbid sympathy for criminals
which so often defeats the ends of
justice in Montana. When a jury con-
Yicts, Judge McClernan does the rest ana
does it We'll. In two recent murder cases
he displayed both courage and judgment,
and the long-term sentences he inflicted
will not fail to have good effect on the
criminal classes. The latter may expect
severe treatment every time they break
the law. Judge McClernan proposes to
protect the law-abiding citizens of the
district if every criminal taken before
him has to be utilized as horrible ex-
ample.

The theater goers of Butte are indebted
to Manager Sutton for brief season of
hgh-c,ass comedy. Such audiences We're
never before seen in Butte. They should
impress upon the management the fact
that the local patrons of the drama are
people of discrimination and good taste
and that liberal patronage may always
be expected when the entertainment is
first class. Previous audiences served to
show that transformers and sticks can
never do profitable business in this city.
It is hoped that the opera house man
agement will lose no time in finishing
the interior of the house. The Old
japanese rag carpet curtains which DO
service between the foyer and the seats
should be sent to the junk shop, the
woodwork should be painted, carpets
should be put on the stairways leading
to the galleries and the ushers should be
drilled every day till they become
familiar with their duties. In the other
end of the house the dressing rooms
should be made comfortable and at
tractive at once, or the house will ac-
quire such a reputation that no first
class company will play an engagement
there. These suggestions are offered in
a friendly spirit, both on behalf of the
management and the public.

Clarifying Dastards.

1t is time that there We're biographies
of Burr and Arnold and some other men
in our history who are still imperfectly
understood. 1t is not necessary to put
wings on them. but we all would like
to know what it was that induced men
of such signal abilities to become
dastards.
AS to Burr no novel or biography can
reinstate him. He lives in history as
he made his place there, and as for
Hamilton. with all his personal failings.
he still remains one Of the greatest of
American constructive statesmen as
Burr does one of the most despised.
1t is we'll enough to write history as
it was and without prejudice, but the
effort to make heroes out of discarded
Americans will not succeed. The his
torical novel has done some good. we
trust but it is capable of much harm in
the hands of incompetent writers.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

The dssension in the ranks of Tam
many caused by the defeat of Bird :.
Coler for the mayoralty nomination
affords some ground for predicting the
election of the reform ticket. Shepherd.
whom Croker nominated. is personally
very respectable man. but he could no
more stem the tide of Tammany corrup-
ton than he could stop the flow OF the
Hudson river. Coler. who is young, fear
less and experienced. might turn on:
some of the thieves who are selling pro-
lection to law breakers and bleeding
every dive in New York; he might clean
out few stalls in the Augean stable,
but Shepherd would be as helpless as an
infant in the work of purifying the city
government. The decent supporters OF
Tammany know that and thus may be
induced to vote for Low.

tain yesterday in explanation of the
copper situation have had a very re-
assuring effect on the public mind. The
Generalization of stocks need not result
in any industrial depression, unless the
Generalization results from some cause
other than a copper surplus which will
be certain to disappear when there shall
be some limitation of the output. If
there was a scarcity of ore there might
be occa sion for ALARM but so long as the
trouble is an over-production, which can
be regulated within a short period. there
a no cause for the slightest apprehen-
sion. It is better to have too much ore

BULLETS FLEW FAST
NERVE OF ONE OF THE SHOOTERS

HE APPEARED MILD AND TIMlD
Once in Battle He Was All Right and
Wanted to Fight More
After It Was All
Over.

''The extent of the nerve of a man
quietly pursuing the duties of civil life
is not always easily determined,' said
a prospector known as Peg Smith to-
day, while the subject Of nerve was UNI
der discussion and deeds of great
bravery and greater cowardice we're be-
ing recounted by party of men. In
the early eighties four other persons and
myself We're prospecting in the Black
Range of Southern New Mexico" he
continued, land We had an illustration
Of this nerve proposition which I shall
never forget. In the party was little
mild faced, blue-eyed man who did not
appear to have sand enough to last him
up a 1OO-yard 2 per cent grade, but I
can tell you we all got fooled on him.
Whence he came I do not know, but
often heard him speak of Virginia; so
1 presume he came from that part of the
country. He told us his real name, but
I have forgotten it. The Apache In
dams were bad in that country at that
time and he was greatly afraid of them
which is the reason we called him ST.
wash He seemed to be scared half
to death at all times.
after we had prospected together a
few weeks our stock of provisions ran
low and we decided to go to Engle,
small station on the Atlantic, lDpehd u

went together on account of the Indians,
who were then raiding under the gem
eralship of Victoria and Mana, two willy,
cruel chiefs who considered the en-
croachment of the whites on their do
main a personal matter. Our mode of
travel was Shanks mare, but we had six
burrOs on which We proposed to pack
our supplies. The distance from our
starting point to Engle was about 70
miles, and we intended to make the trip
in five days-two out and three in. Along
towards shutdown of the first day out
We found ourselves a short distance

valley midway between the range and
the railroad. We had tramped from
early morn and were tired. Pulling up
in little eddy at the north side of the
valley. three of the party began re-
moving the packs from the burros while
the other two, myself included. started
to rustic up a few pieces Of wood with
which to build fire for the prerara-

all we'll armed with Winchesters and

The New York Sun referring to the
report of the United States Steel cor
poration, the greatest in the world of its
kind and drawing a lesson therefrom.
says:
The report of the first half years
operation of the United States Steel cor
poration, made public yesterday. is an
evidence OF sound and prosperous bust
ness conditions in our country. The
decision Of the managers of the great
concern to take the public into their
confidence regarding the company's at
fairs was worthy of all praise. The
ST u corpora ton shows that in this
fir six months of its career. it has,
at ar setting aside over 600 for
sinking fund and maintenance, and pay
ing all dividends and interest charges,
over 81, 600. coo remaining as surplus.
No such statement was ever made be-
fore in the worlds history by an indus
trial company. The company makes a
statement of it's net earnings for each
month of the half year; and it Is doubt
full. perhaps. if the full effect Of the re-
cent strike appears j.. in these current
earnings. Making all allowance, how
ever the sta tement is a marvellous one.
1t must be apparent that this action
on the part Of the Steel company con-
stitutes a model that other like cor
porations must think mora and more
seriously of initiating.

partly from private hatcheries. A
