rainly forewarned.
Sir Edwin Arnold's foreign policy is
always a dish that must be consumed
i~h 'a large admixture of salt. Truth
t ill, under such circumstances it is
verb ard for him to refrain from Tele.
gpeap e. His long connection with the
D !T)y t'elegraph, of London, England,
and his identification with its persist
entl jingi policy have spoiled his palate
for ordinary fare. His meals must all
be4 gly spiced. It is probably true
enidih that England is fitter than ever
bef~ifor a great struggle for the dom
ination of her East Indian possessions.
Frapce is the only country that ap
proashes her in naval strength, and her
land orces, though comparatively small,
.axe well trained and thoroughly efficient.
Russia, on the contrary, is badly em
barrassed financially, and would feel
severely the strain of a great conflict.
B-ut he would be as rash a man as Sir
Edwin Arnold, who would assert that
England will force hostilities. Nothing,
we believe, short of loss of national pres
tige, will bring about that result. A
peaceful policy has been England's
ideal for two generations, and her peo
ple are wise enough to understand that
tolthis they are indebted for their pres
ent prosperity and power. To believe
them cowards would be the worst of
mistakes, but we are convinced that
nothing short of outrageous provoca
tioh will force the peace-appreciating
.people of England to involve theiuselves
in war.
SUB-TREASURY RS'CHMES.
There is nothing new under the sun.
That is a statement so sweeping in the
breadth of its assertion that it has an in
evitable tendency to rouse the bristles
on the very mildest of dispositions. Yet
when we are almost resolved to wrestle
witfrthe monster and overthrow it once
andifor all, we hesitate in astonishment
at its record, as the novice in the prize
ring: might quail before the victorious
story of John L, Sullivan. Like that
prince of bruisers this paradox has a
longlist of victories to its credit. Time
and again when it seemed almost laid
out and ready to throw up the sponge,
by a masterful effort it has come up
smiling and, when the final round was
over, its adversary was knocked clean
through the ropes. It was a Mr. Charles
~Lamb who discovered that we moderns
i'had no credit in roasting pork, that, in
fact, the invention was in common use
.mong ploiocene Chinese. Their meth
Ads, it is true, were of the crudest, but
,in all essentials they were identical with
our own, and our chefs had to doff a
feather from their cap. Some day we
4rill be informned that electrical st:rage
batteries were porteeled by the Ilittites
or the blameless Ethiopians. Some
Yankee of the next century will receive
the worst knock-down blow of his life
when the patent office people tell him
they have every reason to believe that
he mechanical appliance for which he
ap applied for patent rights, was in
'veryday use at the Pyramids. These
1.seblowsto our self-complacency. There
no use in attempting to deny it. Our
ply consolation is that we are getting
y.led to these knocks below the belt. It
19 not too much, in fact, to say that our
~Wtern cuticle has become so abraded
'4 excoriated by their frequent repeti
i that we simply gasp and shut our
'h aW n a blow lands in a fresh spot,
Oi$ t a thought of self-defense or re
la t <t is the sages of the alliance
.i Their dear little pet of a
iumry scheme for the benefit of
llaous grangers has been run to
a4dt un to earth, of all places in
eld, iIn Russia. We had always
%$, that there must be some occult
#ven for farmers remaining in
soiie upless. NOw we kndtw it, &adH
ibprt tof Consul Crawfordat St. Peteris
burp, detailing the law governing "ad
iatcb s on cereals on account of the Ie.
]iaai bapk of Russia," furniashes the
needed clew, and iqppalee the originality
of, he allianae.
Recent developments render details of
interest. The agents of the government
in the working of the scheme are the
railroad companies directly under gov
ernmental control. Subject to a small
commission for their agency, these rail
roads are required to make loans to
farmers, on delivery of their produce at
a six per caat. rate of interest. It the
loan is made'for the period of six weeks
or less, the farmer is given 80 per cent.
of the market value of his crop; for a
longer period, 60 per cent, thus afford
ing ample seroerity for the railroads and
those behind them. From time to time
the owner is "allowed to see that his
grain is properly cared for, and the rail
road is at liberty to take any needful
presautions for its protection and charge
the expense to the owner. If the grain
should deteriorate, or a falling market
should render it probable that the price
obtained will not cover the original ad
vance and all incidental expenses, the
company may dispose of the produce by
public sale. The same disposition is
made of-the produce when the loan has
become due and remained unpaid. No
liens on the grain will hold until all the
loan charges are met. The railroads are
directly responsible to the imperial
bank. The consul adds that the law has
been in operation for over three years
and is highly popular, with the farmers.
With two per cent substituted for six,
we see no reason why it should not be
equally popular in this country, if it gets
a chance.
IN our news columns this morning we
give full details of the purchase of the
Montana sapphire fields by the English
syndicate. The directors sent over by
the company from London have re
ported in favor of the property, after a
most thorough and careful investiga
tion of the nature and extent of the de
posits, and the grounds will be worked
by the company on an intelligent and
and scientific basis. The new industry
will be another source of wealth for
Montana and will add numbers to our
population. The names of the gentle
men engaged in the enterprise are suf
ficient guarantee of its sound financial
character.
CIRCUMSTANCES attending the unfor
tunate shooting of the poor vagrant
O'Leary seem to have settled two tl4ngs
in the minds of our citizens; first that
the chain gang is a barbarous and in
human institution, not because of the
manual hardship but because no
prisoner, however lost to shame, de
serves the disgrace; second that if the
chain gang be continued as an institu
tion in keeping with the civilization and
intelligence of this city, a sufficient
number of guards should be employed
to avoid the necessity of shooting a
prisoner.
THE SHADOWGRAPHER.
Mr. Edgar William Nye, as he pleases to
call himself in the November Century,
writes the following paragraph in his in
teresting and humorous Autobiography of
a Justice of the Peace published in that
number:
"It would take some time to tell how I
got the money to pay this bill and how the
lonely lop-eared, earn-colored trunk stood
there in the baggage room waiting for the
day of its redemption to draw nigh; but
suffice it that a lucky accident put me in
the way of earning ten dollars by copying
the minutes of a military conut-martial
then in session, and a tall angel with wings
concealed under the cape of a Chumley
overcoat was the means. His name was
Remington, and I earnestly hops that he
will find, when his life is over, that suita
ble arrangements have been made for his
comfort."
The Remington referred to is none other
than the popular and capable manager of
Ming's opera house. It appears that in
1876 he was in Cheyenne when General
Reynolds was court martialed under orders
from General Crook. because, through ne
glect of duty, six hundred ponies were al
lowed to escape from his command. The
clerical duties of the court were under Mr.
Remington's charge. Bill Nye had arrived
in town about that time with a man named
Jenkins, who had been appointed attorney
general of the territory of Wyoming. Nye
labored under the illusion that he had
come to a land of gold, milk and honey,
but this was dispelled, as he intimates,
after paying a few board bills. He hung
about the town a few weeks "'broke," when
Remington hired him to copy the minutes
of the court martial. Afterward he went
to Laramie, where he became connected
with a newspaper, and finally established
the Boomerang. Remington s ave that Nye
was a tall, awkward looking follon, very
serious and very quiet. He looked very
much like a newly graduated theologian.
They did not meet again until one year
ago last spring when Nye gave his readings
in this city. It is needless to say that the
isunion was most cordial. Unfortunately,
however, for Mr. Nye it resulted in a con
gestive chill which prevented his appear
ance on the second evening of his engage
ment and compelled him to cancel all en
gagements for the remainder of the sea
eon.
A garment of historic interest, once the
fashion. and now all but a memory is the
old blue cape worn by army ofilcers and
swells years and years ago. It was of broad
cloth, dark blue in color and fastened with
a brass clasp at the neck. Its loose folds
made it an easy fitting and comfortable
wrap, and its appearance carried a certain
picturesque jauntiness particularly striking
when accompanied by a soft felt hat care
lessly set on the wearer's head. Like the
old Sedan chair it has gone into history,
but in the eternal evolution of things it
will yet reappear among the fashions of the
dam-.
There are a number of these capes worn
in Helena, and the owners would not part
with them for cloth of gold. Where, for
instance,will you see this wrap with better ef
feet than on the well built body and straight,
square shoulders of Count Ed Zimmerman?

A new bit of slang has appeared sinoe the
excitement over Montana gims developed.
Instead of saying that is a bird. a dandy or
a Jim dandy, it is now proper to substitute
sapphire.
It seldom happens that the sou of the
forest catches on the ways of civilization
with the celerity recently shown by the
Umitalla, or Um-te-ra-ra Indian, Fish
Hawk. He fairly took the town by storm
While the 6ffeots of the bad Helena fire
water are wearing of during his confine
ment in the city jail he should employ his
time arranging a story to tell his several
wives when he again returns to the reser
vation.
The traveler along the Northern PaotiBo
from Helena to Hope "and return" will
find something to amuse him by glancing
at the mile posts. From Helena he will
read at intervals of so man y miles to Hope
and if he be a new tourist he will wonder
what sort of a town it is that bears this
promising name. If his hopes are built
high he will be disappointed when be finds
a patch of a town perched on the shore of
beautiful Lake Pen d'Oreille, While re
turning he will see posts bearing the threat- i
ening information "Hel" so many miles.
If he is possessed of a sensitive nature and
as easily alarmed his nerves will be quieted
when he learns from the trainman that
"Hel" is merely an abbreviation for Helena.
Add a vein of humor and it is a ten to one
bet that upon his return home he will tell a
the natives that in his tour west he came to
a strange country where it was possible to
leave "Hel" for the allurements of Hope or
Hope for the uncertainties of "Hel." Theq
as a climax he informs his listeners that
the latter place is the proud capital of Mon
tana and the most charming city in the
Rooky Mountain country.
