HERES HOPING.^Mr. Carter has returned to Washing^^ton and with him pn the hopes of the^m vmiahd that lie may tie alile to^secure an appropriation for a Mlfll^building in Butte. Mr. Carter's words^in his lictoher spetch Mure .1 Unite^audience were thest': ^I want to get^that bill through ami I will do it m^spite of the demcciatic newspapers^ami the democratic managers.^ lb in^ocracy will not ^spite^ Mr. farter in^thin undertaking, on the contrary it^will hid him good speed ami encourage^him at every turn. It will not lie M^easy matter to get an appropriation^for a building during the coming ses^^ion. The thing was overdone last^summer and the NMtlM will 1m- strong^The lint session of the present con^gri Ns ^ a- law i 11 -'i-m: '1 ^ 11 lags'^it ought not to have done, in the sec^ond session it will iindoulitedly leave^undone a great many tilings it oiiirht^to have (lone. The coming m ^ 'lis^will be largely devoted by the majority^in congress to political inanMivcring.^anil if Mr. t arter gets away with an^appropriation faf Butte it will have to^bo said of him that he's a good num.
Accordingto all accounts. HtMfW^Maguire has had a ha|ipy issue out ot^^ill his opera house troubles. The^genial gentleman has the STAMDARD'i^coiigratiilatinps. Mr. Maguire has stif^fered about all the ills that theati ii al^flesh is heir to. hut he is giving lluttc^some excellent attractions this year^and if the season proves prosperous^ail his friend* will be glad.
ITWill ORGANIZE RiGHT.^The republican managers have their^little plan regarding the organ:^of the legislature They do not like to^give up. They are whipped, but it ^^hatd lor them to realize the fact. Hie,^know what it signifies to have the men^set aside who presumed to send Colonel^renders and Mr. 1'ower to Washing^ton. and they are open to compro^mise.
Thedemocrats of Montana w 111 not^meet these men half way. The No^^ember election put the situation in^such shape that the democratic party-^has a duty before it, and in the dis^^charge o I that duty there Is no occa^lion for political dicker of any sort.
Thereis no doubt that, as a body nt^citizens, the republicans in the slate^are entirely reconciled to a situation^which practically puts the man..it^ment of the state's affairs in^cratic hands. Indeed, the republic in^by their votes, helped to briDf about^this situation, lint the men who Mete^in the deal to steal the state last yen^have a lecord at stake and tin |^lobe unwilling to accept theinevit^able. They forget that there was ai^election two weeks ago. they try t^ pet^^uade themselves that 'hey can n.
outsome plan to thwart results which^will come in natural seipieuce, they^cannot bear In surrender.
Thesemen arc whipped, and they^may as well own tip. The democratic^senate of this state w ill certainly or^^ganize for businefs in concert with (he^democratic lower house, and wedonot^believe that the pretenders, who served^certain senatorial purposes last year,^will be able to obstruct business for^ten minutes. The republican game^was played and lost, and the people^will nut longer tolerate any dishonest^tactics.
Cutfour or live republican nianipu^lators out of the way and there will lie^no policy of obstruction. The state^demands serious legislation^and re^^publicans are just as determined as^democrats on this score.
CMcourse, the organization of the^lower house fur I he decent dispatch of^business will h ave Sanders and I'ower^in a nasty plight. It means their com^plete condemnation, and that is pre^^cisely what was ordered by the general^election. It would be to the credit of^the state and to the personal comfort^of both men if they could surrender^their ill gotten seats, but, with the sen
ateilst ,|,,v,n to a tie. we presume
themanagers of the national republi^^can party would not permit Mils.^The state can endure these mlsrep-
!rescntatives for a time and not suffer.^The only damage that will accrue by
Itheir presence in Washington is the^damage to the reputation of the men^themselves.
Whatwith the Kinness and the^' season ol opera. Unite is having a jolly^week ol it. The gaiety comes just 111^1 time to divert a community which has^talked ttsell in arlv to death over pol^^itics. The ladies who managed the^Kinness an- to be congratulated on the

THEYARE FOR IT.^Heed ami his routed forces continue^to chant the praises of the McKinlcy^hill, hut the other fellows are getting^away with popular opinion on the tar^ill question and reciprocity may as^well he recognized as the coining pol^^itical fad. it is the vine of liiames
lplantiug.itseem- destined to flourish.
Itii not easy to say what percentage^ol the republican newspa|iers 111 the^country has already admitted that the^McKliiley bill is a mistake. Theliuin^1st of these newspapers is large, hut
Ithe noteworthy fact is that the bill is^finding Its most (tank critics in reptile^lican journals which are recognized for^(heir prominence In (he press of the^land.
Inthe same way, men of eminence^in the republican party are hastening^to army themselves with Mr. lllaine.^Chauncey M. I^e|iew is already in line.^At a banquet given in New York city^Tuesday night, Mr. Depew took occa^^sion to say that the country's future^prosperity ^lies largely in the direc^^tion of commercial reciprocity among^1 the nations of all America.^ Com-^I nig from a republican, this would^i have been rated as rank heresy^! eighteen months ago. but sen^UaMSl among republicans is ad^^justing itself to the ideas advanced by^' Mr. lllaine w ho. as usual, has been^doing the thinking for his partv.
Itwould have liven far licttcr for the^republicans if they had listened to Mr.^1 lllaine seven mouths ago when he^warned Ins political associates that the^I McKinlcy revision would prove to be a^stumbling block. Many republicans,^I recognizing the force of his comments,^met Ua with the objection I hat hewas^out ot time with his new notions. The^'event proves tlint he wa- none too^early and. now that his predict!^ has^Ivecn so cotiiph telv vcribcd. we may c\^|vect to sec reciprocity enjoy a genuine^boom.
Inan interview lately punted Mr^Charles l-'rancis Adams says that he^knows absolutely nothing about the^proposed change 111 the I nion I'acilic^which, it is reported, w ill result in put^ting Ii in out of the oilicc of president,^lie even doubts whether Mr. (iould^made the statement which has been^accredited to linn. There are a good^many things relating to the UvJM^I'acilic v 11 it'll Mr Adams never beard^about. I'ossiblv he will cease to be^president of the road lie fore he^knows it.
FORTHE SECRETARY^If Vcretary Noble is half as good^to Montana as the lultr Mountain^says he is, we trust that our coutcmpo.^rary will keep trotting him out as can^didate lor the othce of vice president.^It would be retreshing to lind some re^publican statesman disposed to pull
1true on the mineral html question. It^was predicted thai the republican Bta^^|i^n!y in the house ol repiesentativcs^would take action regarding these^lands, but nothing came of it. except^that Speaker Heed was 1 xposed as the
1tool ot the Northern I'acilic railroad^and its laud grabbing annex.^Men in public life do not often get a
Imore severe scoring than that to which^Speaker lieed was obliged to listen^last summer when the land forfeiture
Ibill was under discussion. The
1report in the house furnished^convincing pnmt that the speaker^made up his railroad committee direct
jly 111 the interests of the corpor^atloiis, and It was told to Mr. Heed's^face that he was the agent of the com
jpanics in the house of representatives.^The people of Montana are In for a
Ihard tight 011 the mineral laud question^and. as long as the two usurpers from^this state I ild seats in the senate, there^will be little to hope tor. The rela^Hons ot Colonel sunders with the^Northern I'acilic are notorious. As^lor Mr I'ower. when he was elected by^the bogus legislature, the leading re

BURROWING FOR $200,000.
The( hancA VVsntlerluga of Au Astonished^Woman spoiled a Rig Kobbery.
Fromthe Kansas Cily Star.
Fifteenyears ago thieves determined on^a big hank robbery. The bank selected^was in a city in New Jersey. The enter^^prise was planned anil principally pushed^by a very clever pickpocket called ^Mol-^lie Matches,^ alias John Larncy. He was^11 man of enterprise, courage and brains,^and what was just as important in a job^of this sort, he had money lots of it.^Malches was not a ^gopher man^ him^^self, and in po wise worked on hanks in^a practical, per-onul way. He la-longed^to the aristocracy of rogues, was a prime^pickpocket, in tact, and if some light-^lingered McAllister ever writes a liook he^will tell you such a man la-longs to rogu^^ery's ^400.
Matchesdid the outside work. He pro- I
iined the tools, the section jimmies, the :^spreaders, pullers, wedges,mauls, suction^pump, putty, powder, fuse, saws, llles,^drills and drill brace, as well as various I^acids for eating iron and steel. These 1^lends are necessarily hand made, as in the
iiautre of things they can only Is- ordered^of trusted men. 1'hc men who make^them are among die best ii.lisans in the^world and the 11, ^ksman loins they turn^out are light, eleflMsti accurate and of^great isiwer. '1 be tools for the New Jer^^sey robbery were made in Cleveland, un^^der the direction of a man who was once
chiefpoliilin er of.that city. They cost
Matches#I,8J0. The bank was selected^liccaiisc of a vacant dwelling house 011^one side, while two streets and an alley^were 011 the otln r three.
Itis well to say right here that banks,^and es|M-cially those weal, banks ir. -mall^country towns which are the ^gophers'^^pride and joy, had la-tier know who has^laissessiou next door. That is where^danger generally conies from.
Hatchesla gan by bribing the janitor of^the iKink, who was also its night watch^^man. He left die talented robber inside^one night and all accurate plan of the^bank with its money vaults wns made.^Then Matches rented the house next^door, paving for 11 mouth in advance.^( Nie Saturday . veiling the gang assem^^bled and the w. rk la gan. Saturday wag^selected liccaiisc the work was going to^take time, and they would need until^Monday illuming to t omplete it. Their^purpose was to tunnel into the bank from^the ueigliNiritig house. Descending lo^the basement. I bag began, guided by their^map of the bank.
Allnight they moiled anil toiled m the^iHisemelit. A good deal of work was he-^fore tbeiii, as 1 h.-y had to tunnel under^the open yard b iween the buddings for a^space of ten feet. But they kept on, for^tliey were within fifty feet of ^ 11,000. At^last the earth taken out la gan to en^^cumber that part of the basement where^the ^gophers^ were at work. One was^iletaih-d to carry it back ill u large basket^and dump it in a rear SjBOBB. This rear^room had half-windows from w inch one^could sec nit - the back yard, but the^^gophers^ never thought of that; they^were thinking only of the bank ami the^S'JIl.ttx. Match,* waa not witu them, or^this mistake might hare been averted,^He told ine this story himself, and was^eonlblcnt nothing would have gone^wrong if his mastiff mind were I here.
Troublebegan in this Wlsis I ,^^For Kent^ wa still In the from window.^I he thlevi . .0 . rhaiked that too, It caught^the eye o! an old Irish woman bound for^e arly mass on Sunday morning, she^coveted the 1-di.lee for u ^boardln -house.^^It was ha ked, so she went about p. 1 ring^into the windows. Looking down through^the rear ba-ement windows, the descried^a pits of fresh earth on the w ,,r. i^^gophers^ had l*ell dumping d.rt there^ab. nt thirty minutes.
Av(^i tuk It,^ said the old Irish woeaea^to herself, ^^( ird make the lan'lord elanc^out the basement, ahure.^ And then she^journeyed on to early mass and the con-^solution of her soul.
Themorning aud part of Sunday after,^noon a|wsl by, .No bees ever we: ked like
thediligent ^gophers^ Hearing the t-'Joti,-^000. The pile of earth in the back liase-^ment grew apace. At ^'^ o'clock in the af^^ternoon the old Irish woman, her mind^fraught with ^bootdin' bouse,^ deter-^minetl to take another look at that eligible^structure that stood next the bank. She^returned. She was astounded at the^growth of the mound of earth in the rear^lias, nieiit. From a small, inconsequen^^tial heap it had grown until tons of earth^were now cumbering the floor.
Howly virgin, but the bouse is haunted^complately!^ exclaimed the horrified^lady, and started for a priest.
lie cleric waa not superstitious, and^smiled at tho spook theory. He started^for the house. On the way lie notified a^sergeant of |k^lice at a minor station.^The sergeant knew his business^ami at once divined the scheme^of the thieves. He was also an am^^bitious officer, and determined to make^tho capture without first notifying the^central office. This was contrary to po^^lice rules und disarranged matters might^^ily. If he had notified his superior the^thieves would have got away. The care^^ful Matches had the chief ^fixed^ and a^fleet messenger waa in conataut waiting^in sight of .my signal which the chief^might give, to fly to the men at work and^notify them of discovery. The signal was^simple. The chief was to put up a cer^^tain window of his office. That means^^Ixa.k out!
Butthe sergeant did not notify the chief.^He wanted the credit to himself; so lie^took a s^|uad and captured the industri^^ous ^gophers^ in their tunnel.
Andthey were within two hours of the^stuff, too,^ said Mutches, sadly, as he re^^lated the matter lo me. ^Two hours more^and they'd had that fjuu.0001
.InkingJamaica l'ollreinen.^A gentleman from the island of Jamaica^tells the following: ^About ten years^ago we had no gas on our streets. As^you know, nil the police, or, as they are^culled there, the constabulary, are colored^men. A Jamaica negro is very supersti^^tious, nud so two of us took it into our^heads to scare one of the black watchers.^We ordered two cigars to be made with^three prongs, or four ends, so that the^IMS points could be lighted at one lime.^In due season the cigars wen made. My^friend and myself tiKik some orange^skins und made two pretty large sets of^white teeth for ourselves. About lo^o'clock one tlark night we both sauntered^out, dressed in white linen, with our red^Turkish smoking caps on. It wus ar^^ranged that we should wait until wu saw^a constable 111 the center ,of^the block, when we would each get^on the opposilo corners, so as to give^him a good scare. Soon we saw a^fellow whom we designed for the s|x^rt.^My friend went to otic corner while I^^ dked to the other end of the block. As^llle constable walked toward my friend^I'.xeatnes, llxenmes turned his back tow-^urd him. i'resenlly he reached my friend^und tupped him oil the back. Kxcaiucs^simply turned around and took a terrific^pull ut hia three pronged cigar, at the^same time showing his large set of grin^^ning orange teeth. The fellow was para^^lyzed for an instant with fright. He^turned and ran until he almost reached^me. I turned my back to him and he^tap|a-d my shoulder, I wheeled arouud^and drew at the cigar until the three ends^glowed like coals, then blew out a cloud^of smoke. Well, sir, that poor durkey^could not articulate for several seconds.^When he found his tongue he discovered^his legs nntl galloped on as he said: ^Fur^de Land's sake dat ham a ghost, sbuah,^dat can trahble as fast as de wind.
TheTherapeutic Smoking i'ipe.^An improved form of smoking piiie has
11 introduced in England to the notice
of11,0 node il profession, primarily to^provide a mentis of combating the^smoker's habit, and to do away with the^injurious elements in it, to which its Ivane-^fill effects are due, by abstracting the^noxious constituents of tobacco smoke^while leaving the aromatic principles un^^affected. It is hoped hy this means to^make it available for daily use by deli^^cate or invalid smokers, to whom total^prohibition would often be little short of^punishment. Secondly, it is suggested^that tho pi|M^ may be made useful as a^means of utilizing the habit of smoking^as an adjunct to treatment by inhalation^of volatile medicaments, so that the vapor^of the remedy employed may lie directed^to the affected surfaces. Another possi^^ble use of the pipe is that of'an insuf^^flator, for which its construction 1 spe^^cially fits It. ,
