They have it that Gresham has cap tured the republican state central com mittee in Indiana and that with this for a starter he is going to develop a very large-sized presidential possibility. Alger is groomed for the race, of course. The country will have his candidacy on hand a long as he lives. Allison keeps the country informed of the fact that he still is hopeful, while Doctor Isepew, when asked the other day whether lie expects to be a candidate, replied that the office of president is the sort of thing that no good Ameri ean throws over his shoulder. None of these men are likely to get it. De pew is the best of them, but his chances are in inverse ratio to his personal worth. A political party that once put aside Dlepew for Harrison, wouldn't prefer IBepew even to Alger. Sunday brought a truce in the con troversy involving the Anaconda smelting works and the Montana Unionl railroad. It is to last thirty days. and under its provisions coal and ore and wood and building material will be delivered to the works with accus tomed regularity. Active operations were resumed hi the freight yard last night and material can be delivered to the works in time to preclude theneces sity for closing down. Mr. Ionohoe. traffic manager for the Anaconda, met GIeneral Manager BIaldwin yesterday afternoon. Mr. Donohoe said that if time were given for it he would get answer from .I. II. Ilaggin, to whom the facts had been referred and whose judgment would be Ilnal for the smelt nug company. An arrangement as mentioned was promptly made between the two gentlemen.

A LIBRARY FOR BUTTE There will t~ held to-morrow niight. In BIutte, a meeting which ought to Iw generously attended for the promotionl of a movement that should be liberally supported. iome time ago, .lJud ge ixon an nounced that, under the offer of a gen erous friend of lutte. lie had at his disposal a fund of lot.rs which will go into a public library fund utnder conditions which Butte can easily meet. The people of the city will Iw espected to raise an additional fund of OlO,(JO and the city authorities will be asked to provide, in the proposed new city hall or otherwise, suitable acconm modations for the library which is to be purchased and the reading room which It is proposed to maintain. The offer made by .Judge Dixon ought to have been promptly accepted and its eosditions met. These conditions are In no sense burdensome, and Btutte would be unjust to herself were the handsome donation to be left in neg lect. The city sadly lacks the institu tion for which the proffered gift will rovide an ample foundation. The in a puble liurary; the weomer is that a start toward one was not made years Sao. Butte can raise 10,0100 In the time that it takes most towns to talk about it. But the movement must have the right sort of start, and we suppose this will be taken at to-morrow night's meeting. The ease is certainly one that commends Itself to the attention and support of every citizen and we shall be surprised if the conditions un der which the princely gift Is offered are not promptly met. AS TO ISSUES. IehrlUtal ssr acandk anl rltnruhful drlenl nrrat n-wsmrper wamid like to outline the items usaln whkih the dnuerratse aruty in this state will light the next ramn.la.g.--lAdlt ltetr M.uwinda. They can be presented briefly and clearly; there is no secret about them. The Inter Morntantsmay as well be in formed regarding them long in advance, for it will need to put in all its time be tween now and the weeks of the can vass in trying to frame some device by which it will seek to break the force of the democratic argument. Questions relating to national legis lation will figure in the canvass. The people know the facts, but these will be constantly recited during the campaign. It will be shown from the records that the republican white house. the repub lican cabinet, and the republican ma jority in congress fought silver per sistently and bitterly;that free coinage would be an accomplished fact to-day but for the unyielding hostility of President Hlarrison, Secretary Win dom, Speaker Iteed and Senator Sher man -Wall street republicans, every man of them: that when the free coin age bill got a chaince to be voted on in the house there were only tirenti-three repiihlivun nnsie.rs fill tIll in the hoMse of representatives who voted in its favor, and these mnen incurred the open condemnation of the republican managers: that the bill affords present opportunity for money making to the big silver producers and to Wall street, but is not by any means the legislation demanded by the Ipeople. The people of Montana are in favor of tariff revision and duty reduction al most to a man. There are inl the I'nlon three states and Montana is one of them where this tariff view is next to ulnanimouls, but there is not a single state of tIhemI all where lsputlar opintionl is more nearly unanimous on tile ques tion and more distinctly separated from Iwlities than here in Montana. The man who says that the people of this state, or a majority of them, ap prove the details of the McKinley bill, either fails to comprehend lpopular opinion or seeks deliberately to lervert it. In I0" Montana heartily approved the pledge made in tile republican platform that promised tariff revision. That pledge hllas been grossly ignored. Montana is opposed as if by instinct to the force bill. That bit of tyranny is utterly at variance with the political sentiment of this intelligent and well ordered commonwealth. so offensive was last 4October's attempt to bring the Montana election under the control of federal marshals that decent republi cans denouncedl it and the coward hire linls who were stationed at the polls didn't dare even to lift a linger. They would have beenl driven froml tihe pre irncts Iav entraged citizens had tlwhey pre deniiriirats in Miltiltant to viii(liat'te tihe state's .olo(t iillne ill the e'vs of tlhe counlltry and avenge tile frauld comlnt it tetl ait the Ilol nlentake precinct.

It appeals to every miiate's pa triotlsisl, it involves every citizent's security lit his civil and political rights. it touches the lawredliesa of every elect or's vote. It is as vital an issue as can we brought before any constituency, tlld the f(ction in the republican party that still clings to fraud is afraid to face it. The wprsonality incidenit to every political campunaignl will not be of 5ll inal .~aiilitaicat lii next autUin's con test. The names of eandmidates will be matter of relatively small accoullnt.

A new infant Industry is coming. The Man Franeisco ChroiteIr remarks that "the proposed establishment of I peanut oil factory in Soathern ('all fornia by a Frenchman beas out what we have said, that the peanut is one of the most profitable of er: ,s." The ('hrouiiele has probably based its con clusions upon another branch of the business, but that does not impair the truth of general observation. If pea nut oil attains anything like the suc cess of peanut polities it is a valuable addition to the list of American indus tries. Rila Kittridge, who claims to he the champion microscopic postal-carl writer, is said to have written the presicent's last message, consisting of 10000 words, on a postal card.

Tbhe well known "Dan," the aged, though happ3 eireus clown is still alive. He speni nearly the whole of yesterday and lasi night among his newspaper and olhee friends in this city. Patrick Ryan, hib life-long friend, accompanied him, as did Thomas Barry, manager and proprietol of the new Gaiety theatre, being built on Greene street. Notwithstanding the fact that "Dan" is some distance beyond the allotted three score and ten, he signiflie his intention of going into the ring until the end, and "die in harness." Next seac son be proposes, in connection with Mr. Ryan, to put a tfirst-class, old-time, one. ring cireus on the road. They will open in Galveston, Texas, and play through the eouthern states, coming north in the spring. 1le Morgue's lee. A good story isafloat in Brooklyn, says the New York bun.about Patrick Maguire, the keeper of the morgue. "Pat" is a strict temperance man. In the neighbor hood of the institution for which le cares a saloon was started, which soon became a hanging-out place for objectionable persons. Maguire begged the proprietor of the liquor store to stop the noises in his place that were so annoying to the res* identa in its neighborhood. As these ap pIals proved unavailing he determined on another plan of crusade. He has a son, a big, strapping fellow, who Is known to everybody in the vicinity of the morgue as Maguire's assistant in his ghastly duties. Onhe morning when there was an unusually noisy crowd in the objec tionable saloon, Patrick called his son to him anld ordered himi*l to go to the water cooler and take the ice from it. When the lad had obeyed his instructions Ma guire said: "Now, go over to the saloom and press your way up to the bar, put the ice on the counter and say to the proprietor: 'There's so many bodlies in the morgue this morn ing that this is all the ice father can spare you.' " Young Maguire did as he was told, and the trick operated splendidly. The crowd of drinkers scattered as if plague-stricken and the place remained deserted until it was learned that the ice incident was only one of Maguire's jokes. Contfedrate War Uterlts. Representative John Allen has an inex haustible,fund of good stories, says a Washington letter to the (Cincinnati Coom. serrial (lazette. Here are two relating to the war: With the first Mr. Allen tllu' trates the deep-seated prejudice and con* tempt felt for the Yankees. A confeder ate soldier in a certain regiment had be. come noted for running away from every fight. On one occasion his captain found him in line as an unexpmeted attack opened. Standing behind him the cap. tain drew his pistol and said: N'ow,John, up to this time y. pit have run froml every fight. You have disgraced yourself on all occasions. Now if you stir from the linet this time I intend to shIoot you dead. I shall stand here, right behind you, and i you start to run I will certainly kill you." Jolhn heard the captain through, and drawing himself tlp to an unlusual height, repliled: "VWell, capentain, you may shoot ilre If you like. but I'll never give any low. lived. low-dowll Yanlkee the privilege of doing it." At Mdrfreeslhnro a confederate soldier was rushing to tihe rear with all the speed he could ecormand. An officer hailed himi and sneeringly inquired whry lie was run ning so fast away from the Yankees. The soldier, without stopping, yelled back: "Because I can't fly.' A Menument to the Hard Winter. Fronm the AshIaIud Tliding.. The Lo.tus brothers. who came in the Willamette valley from their ranch In Warner valley recently with a hand of horses and mules for the Willamette market. passed across the Klamath marsh and in that region found a settler'; cabin that had been occupied in the fall but abandoned when winter came on. The settler had left about 5,000 pounds of Hour in the cabin, and when the starva tion time came on for the cattle of tlw Indians of the reservation, the poor brutes, or at least a large number of thenm. found out by their sharpened sense of smell that ther was flour in the cabin. They broke down the door, and then in their mad rush for something to eat erowded upom one another so furiously that the cabin became a death for them, and .lohn Lofitus thinks there were nearly lifty dead cattle piled and packed in the stout log cabin,whlich was not larger than 31) feet each way. The poor brutes iad dragged some of the fwour sacks out some distance fronl the cabiun, but apparently could not eat the flour for much of it was to be seen on the ground. The settler returned to the cabin not long since, ea piecting to take the tfour away, as flour commanded a good price out there early in the season, and his astonishment at the strange and distressing sight pre sented by the cabin and the unexpected contents mnay he imlagined. A Primess (Urowlng Pretty. Fronmu a Vonrei letter. I do not think I have seen it noticed anywhere, but the Princess Victoria of Wales is developing into a really pretty girl. Last week at Chelsea she had such a lovely color and such hright eyes, that she looked as sweet a specimen of young womanhood as anyone could wish to see.
