H.ITcIIiNtiON appears to have gone up in smoke and left Butte to choke in it: own fumes. THE "green goods" man who attempt ed to rope in the prince of Montana has been convicted. Now let the lotter' swindlers tremble. TuerE should be unanimous actior on the bills giving additional judges ti Lewis and Clarke and Silver Bow counties. The need of them is bevyou.o argument. THi news that all the gem boearing' beds at Eldorado Bar and luby Placet have been purchased and are to be worked by an English syndicate is im porthnt, if true. Their developmnent means activity and prosperity for mour" of the territory tributary to Itelena. WE: congratulate the Butte Miner or its enterprise in starting a Monday edi tion. It is too good a newspaper to be missed on any day of the week. Tin: MONDAY INI)rEPNI)ENT has been a groal success and we predict that the Monda) Miner will find immediate popular favor. IT is early in the season yetto start new business activities in Montana, but now is the time to lay plans. This is a mighty big state and it will not fill ulp with settlers unless our people by unitcu effort induce them to cornm. These ob servations apply to Helena as well as thi state at large. ENTERPRISISN Denver is going to have a great consumption hospital un der the charge of a physician who lua been studying with Dr. Koch in Berlin. The only obstacle to starting such a: institution in Montana would be thatl all the patients would have to be itm ported, as our glorious climate does not develop the dread malady. MR. PFEFFER. the new Kansas sena tor, is a republican, but a horizontal tariff reductionist of the Morrison school. He favors a drop from McKin ley's 60per cent. tariff to duties aver aging 20 per cent. It remains to be seen whether, like his colleague, Mr. Plumb, he will make ferocious speeches for tariff reform and then vote in the interest of the robber barons on evert opportunity. WE note with regret that the split in the republihcan big four at Washington over the Helena postofflice still con tinues: and that Russell Harrison and our Carter are still the bigger two. The correspondent of the Minneapolis Jour nal gives us the following melanchol) picture of the situation: Senator Sanders was asked to-day if he could give out the name of the next post master at Helena. "I cannot. You will get it as soon as I will." "Would it be safe to say that James IB. Walker will be appointed?" "Ask President Harrison; I don't know.' "Don't tell him to ask the president." broke in Senator Power at this point. "Tell him to ask Prince Russell; blank it, Itus sell is the man to ask. ' REED and McKinley are believed to have effectually barredl the passage ,of the silver bill through the house. A: gered by the defeat of the force bill by the senators fromi the silver states. the republican leaders in the house, have determined to defeat free co,.lge. Speaker [teed is said to have made, a canvass of the republican side of the house and to have satisfied himself that his efforts to shelve the silver bill wu I meet with party approval. 11 can nfw be definitely stated that the chances are decidedly against the enacutment of alwy free coinage bill at this session, and that if such ia measure is lermiltted to slij, through, it will be at the last, hour of the last day ,of the sessiion, . ith a pl'ocket veto staring it in the fare. TuI: New York iun is getting a little comifrt out of its historical disi'toveries that United States senators have beenI nominated for president, andl the deduc tion therefrom that (o\v. I[ill's promo tion to( the senate is not necessarily fatal. Perhapls not. biut it make i ('love land's chances better. 'The fact that Hill's accession to the iresidency would almost certainly mean tle lecl.ion of a republican to succeed hin, in tIe senate, would have weight im the nonmi iatin convention. It hals lben nearly ti quar ter of a century since Neiw 'ork wasn represented in the senate yv a demo crat. Under the unfair legislative ap portionumeut it is likely to be years be fore she will send another dtloncrat to that body. She will do well to hold on to lHill. The democrats will very nearly get control of the senate in 18!:1 if thiy hold their present gains. IN England when a popular clhetion declares against the continuance of a government policy the ministry instant ly resigns and a new house of commuons convenes and proceeds to execute the popular decree. In the United States the defeated party neither retires nor reverses its course, when it is condemned at the polls, but oontinuPs to carry out its *oljcy in defianoe qt the views of the majority of the people. The Louisville Courier-Journal aptly characterizes the situation in congress to-day as gover. mnnt by falsahood. Up to Xarah 4, it says,phandler and Blai4r Aldrich and Dixon, Hfawley and Pltt, Evarts and Hiscook, Stookbridge and MoMillan, Spooner and Sawyer will ait for the lemocratic states of New amtpshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York, Michigan and- Wisconsin respect ively; Higgins, as one of the senators from the democratic state of Delaware; ingalls and Plumb, Manderson and Pad lock, Davis and Washburn, Moody and Pettigrow, for the anti-republican states .? Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and South Dakota respectively. "Sanders and Power, who never were elected at dll, are permitted, by a vote of the sen ,ite, to sit for the democratic state or Montana as the result of certain false hoods certified from that state and a innate resolution based upon a pretense lhat the senate was bound by those 'alsehoods. iGallinger will get a seat in he senate by virtue of a falsehood by me Jowett, who was given an office 'alsely to protend that. certain persons were outitled to seats in the New Hamp dhiro legislature." What a glorious form of republican ,overnauent we have! TN an interview which wa print in nother column t'ol. C. A. Broadwater oills some wholesome truths in very lain language. Nobody can deny Cot. BIroadwater's right to criticise the slug =ishness and sordidness and lack of bublic spirit that mark the relations of - certain elenmont of our population to .ard the conm m unity. The colonel hinm ;elf has led the way in so many enter rises, and has been so ready in all un lertakings having for their object the ailvancemont and improvement of the :ity, that he speaks as one having au hority. His words should sink into the .m-arts of the men - we may name them biter on -who are growing rich by lot :ing other people build up around them i city to whose development they have never contributed a single dollar, unless it was squeezed out of them by the tax ;atherer. AN AMERICAN BOOTH. It is a terrible picture of the "slums" that the leader of the Salvation army has drawn in "l)arkest England." The manli who can successfully remove such in aggregation of crime, disease and destitution as extsts in that country mill build himself the noblest of monn ments in the grateful hearts and recol lections of his follow countrymen. And there is no reason why the attempt should not in time be crowned with suc -:ess, if energy, good sense and charity join hands in its promotion. The scheme is not, even in outline, an inno vation. As long ago as last century an American grappled with a similar difti culty, and came out triumphant. It is not even unfair to imagine that General Booth's methods are largely modeled on his. Rumford, count of the Holy Roman oumpire, does not sound either American -,r republican, but it is the historical title of one who, as a boy, was known to the goo folks of Woburn, .Mass., in 1753. as Benjamiin Thoumpson. Rising to Io secretary of state in the British gov crnmoen, he was knighted by George ill. Ite passed into the service of the elector of Bavaria, became grand cham berlain, minister of war, lieutenant gen eral and commander-in-chief of the Ha varian forces. Ito reformed entirely the military system of his adopted country, and with the restless energy of a true Yankee, proceeded to root beggary and pauperism out of the state. At that time Bavaria itself, and the city of Munich in particular, were the head lquarters of shameless pauperdont. The very city streets were paraded by beg ging thieves and vagabonds. 'they forced their way into private houses and interrupted church services to demand an aims of the worshippers. Each gang had and held its particular district of icountry or city, and many ia beggar girl's sole dowry conferred on her hus band the right to exteond his business in the larceny line. It was this sea of turbulenlce and law lessness that the American undertook to Idrain, when all others had failed. HIis system was simplie, so simple that it tilc ted a revelation to the men who had been persistently butting their heads againstm a stone wall.

The party was given at the Lisbon, Fifty-eighth street and Seventh avenue. The rooms were festqoned with sun flowers and palms and the nrusic was furnished by Cappa's Seventh regiment band. Among tile guests were Ex-Governor and Mrs. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Cannon, of Helena, Mr. and Mrs. John Noyes, of Butte, Senator Gordon, of Georgia, and Col. and Mrs. R. G, Ingersoll, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bierstadt and Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus W. Field, of New York. An opportunity for some of our old mend rthletes is offered by a man down in Madi son county.

Any one desiring to catch up the old gentleman's offer can get further particulars by writing to "Sixty-five," Puller Springs, Montana. DAVIS' WILL CASE. To be Fought This Week by Eminent Legal Talent. The Davis'will contest will be a great draw ing card at the court house in Butte thisweek. The seating capacity of the district coult room is pretty certain to be filled every day that the case is on trial, particularly since it has been whispered about that some sen sational testimony in support of the claim that the will is a forgery is to be intro duced by the contestant- Colonel Bob In gersoll will lend the weight of his prestige to this cause celibre, but he will not be seen at his best until the time comes to argue upon the evidence produced. Judge Trim ble, of iowa, and Judge Woolworth, of Omaha, with Congressman-elect Dixon of Butte, will defend the interests of John A. Davis, while Toole & Wallace, McConnell & Clayberg, of Helena, Robinson & Staple ton and Henry A. Root himself will assist Colonel Ingersoll in the effort to break or prove fraudulent the will of 1866. Not the least interesting witness at the trial will be John C. Sconce, of Arkansas, the only living witness to the will that has been of fered for probate, says the Miner. Mr. Sconce went front Arkansas to his former home in Iowa a week or so ago. and he is a very reticent old man judging by this para graph, which is taken from the Ottumwa tIowa) Press: "Uncle John Sconce will have nothing to say now regarding the Davis will, but exuects to start in about ten days for Butte City, and at the opportune time will talk. The old man is one of the pioneers of Soap creek, and during the days of Andrew J. Davis' business career at Blackhawk was quite familiar with him and was at times employed by him. He is especially friendly with young Jeff, who seems perfectly confident in the authentici to of the will, and they are together to soume extent. Sconce has been away from iowa five veers and was welcomed by his old friends and neighbors. He will leave for Montana about February 1." T'he contestants in the case made another attempt on Saturday to secure another post ponement of the hearing in the contest. Through counsel they set up a claim that the present panel of trial jurors had been improperly drawn, and moved for the ap pointrdent of a jury commission in con formity with the amendments to the jury law adopted by the Sixteenth legislative assembly of the territory of Montana. In |support of the claim the affidavit of G. W. Stapleton, one of Henry A. Root's lawyers, was filed, to the effect that there is not now. and has not been for some time, any jury to try cases in the court drawn as provided by law. The persons who now constitute the uanel were not drawn as provided by law, or at all since the present judge has been in office. That the persons who now constitute the jury to try causes were drawn by the judge and clerk, and were not selected by a jury commission. That there should be 300 names drawn by a commission appointed by the court. 'I'he motions mad by tihe contestants for the appointment of a jury commission and the dismissal of the p esent jurors were overruled by Judge MoHatton. RAiLROAI) TRAINMEN.
