NoSite Selected.
Nothingcame nf the second meeting^of the commission applied to select^a site for the capitol; the members of^the commission appear to be men who^have seme sense about them and who^are not in a hurry to let the state be^robbed through their agency.
Thestate can stand the delay; out-^alde of the city of Helena no citizen^wants the capltol-site commission to^push things with undue haste. On UM^contrary, the state may make money^by waiting. Land surely la ns cheap^to-day In Helena as it was In July of^last year; It Is cheaper by fifty per^cent thin It was five years ago; It^may be cheaper In July of next ye:tr^than It Is to-day. Lest any reader may^Infer that this talk has Its spring In^prejudice, let us take the assessed val^^uation on the traits In Helena which^the site-commission Is urged to buy-^It Is Helena's own valuation, It ought^to pass as unprejudiced authority.^Here Is a table giving the names of^those who offer property to the state,^the assessment on each offer for 1891^and the assessment on the same for the^year 1894:
ThisIs the showing of the assessment^roll on the properties that .ire offered.^Now, let us compare the assessment of^last year with the price that has been^put on some of these properties In th^^offer to the state:

Theseare the figures submitted when^the commission held Its first meeting.^At the second meeting the nlnety-nlne-^thousand-dollar offer dropped to tS7,-^000, the sixty-six thousand offer to II.'..-^000, and there were other slight^changes.
IsIt strange. In the presence of these^flgures, that the members of the com^^mission meet and adjourn^ How could^they ever square themselves with the^people of the state were they to do^otherwise^ In the second table, we^have omitted the Winne property, of^^fered for one dollar, and the Ha^if^tract, known as Capitol Hill, which Is^virtually the offer of a ten-acre tract^for nothing. Is there any reason why^the people should buy land for which,^confessedly. Umm Is no market and pay^three and fiur times its assessed val^^uation^property, at that, which is as^^sessed from fifty to i-lxty p^ r cent he.^low the valuation af four n five years^ago^ We commend tbl eapitol-slte^commissioners; they appear to be men^*^f sense.
TheStandard ha* no preference to^express In this mutter. Y4H this mucli^may be said: The Mauser site is about^eight acres free for park purposes.^That is ground enough. The site has^always been pointed out to the visitor^In Helena and praised because of its^fitness for state-house purposes. Hel^^ena named the place capitol hill. It is.^In fact, a good site^as good as any^that Is offered. Th^ slat- can ftl this^tract for MtMaf, Rm w^uld It do to^accept It^ Then if the!, am p.ople m^Helena whj want something bigger of^better, let them put up tlM MMMJT i ^^pay for It.
Or,If that site does not commend^Itself to the commlssini. take the^twelve acres offered by Piter Winn*.^Surely, that is area eiwugh. Where^the land lies, we do not kn iw -it If, |s^^scribed as t., ing la Um CorMa addi^^tion. Probably It is t .-I , n ^ugh: M^particular site will be a matter of^^special dMlea In Hn.i. tin years^hence. The Winno trad is #tf1 d foff^one dollar. If It is ,wortli DM .|..ll.ir^more than Hauser's ejpit.il hill. ^IT re.I^for nothing, by all means, let the state^take it.
Thetalk about the state's Intense-^anxiety to buy lllgh-pl le. ^l capital^(rounds Is not heard outside of H. 1. ti.i.^The Mauser site certainly Is g^.d, the^Winne plot may Ik- good, and, since^the people of Helena evince not the^slightest purpose to do the decent thing^by th* state, by offering frev a cooicu
ofsite^as any other city in Montana^would do with alacrity^since that Is^true, let the commission accept what^Is offered free, as sites have been freely^given and accepted In other cities In^Montana for state Institutions. If^either site proves to be not the best In^the world, let the responsibility rest^with the people of Helena, where It be^^longs.
Wedeclare again that we have no^prejudice in the matter of the selection^of a statehouse site. All that Is appar^^ent to us is that, in Helena, they seem^to be willing- to have the beat of every^^thing provided Helena herself^let^alone giving anything^can hit the^state hard on the price. Admit, for^that matter, that each of the proposed^tracts is worth every dollar marked^in the several bids; the state Is offered^two tirst-rate sites for nothing- Per^^haps these are offers which Montana^ought not to throw over her shoulder.
WhatSanders ^ald.
AsIf some strange thing had hip-
pened.the associated press wires to^the country an Interview which puts^Colonel Sanders, of Helena, In the^ranks of the goldbugs. The Interview^quotes Sanders as saying: ^Free-silver^talk by newspapers and demagogues Is^something wearing. There Is not a^newspaper between Minneapolis and^the Pacific coast that Is not full of the^cry 'sixteen to one,' 'crime of '73' and^all the rest of that rot.
ThereIs no reason why, on hit mer^^its, Sanders should be the hero of an^associated-press telegram; It happens^because the associated press, an ex^^tremely feeble news agency. Is wholly^at the service of the goldhug clique^and, lacking news. Is willing to send^out any man's maudlin utterances If^only he expresses himself as a resident^of a silver state who Is hostile to silver.
TheInter Mountain would have pub^^lic opinion reserve Judgment respect^^ing the Interview In nuestlon until^Sanders has had an opportunity to^come to the front with a denial of the^words Imputed to him. How densely^Ignorant the evening organ In Unite Is^res|H-ctlng the opinions of Colonel San^^ders! In his Interview is pot a word^that is new. Right In the city of Hel^^ena he has announced, almost word for^word, the same hostility to the cru^^sade for free coinage; he has done that^once and again.
YetIf he had been able to raise a lit^^tle money this same man Sanders^would be, to-day, one of Montana's^representatives in the Senate of the^I'nlted States^think of It! He had a^republican legislature to deal with; it^was unquestionably the cheapest legis^^lature that ever held sessions In North^America. Hut, at any rrice, Sanders^couldn't compete. It was a situation^where a man has to put up the cold^cash^of course, however small the^amount. Sanders wasn't In it.
Justthe same Sanders' hostile talk^will be spread before the people of the^I'nlted States, through the agency of^the associated press, in the belief that^It will be accepted as of some account^in sections where he Is not known.
TheBritish Election*.
Thecampaign In Oreat Britain Is^well under way. It is expected that the^majority of the provincial elections will^be held one week from to-day, and^those In the London'constituencies one^week from next Monday. Within ten^days at the farthest It will be ascer^^tained whether or not the new govern^^ment has a parliament at its hack.^According to the dispatches the Indi^^cations all point to an overwhelming^conservative victory. Kven Harold^Frederick, the London correspondent^of the New York Times, who a few^weeks ago believed that the chances^were aliout even, new admits that the^liberal! have no hope. He gives the^unionists a majority of at least forty.^The radicals are attacking the Salis^^bury cabinet on the ground among^others that It contains more lords than^ever before Tilled a Hrltlsh ministry,^and an effort is being made to pledge^t!..- radical candidates to refuse to sup^^port any ministry which shall contain^a lord. It is evident that the Issue be-^tu.-n UM people and tlM house of^1 ids is going to bo brought to a head^mnm day. but not yet awhile. The uni^^versal opinion In Kngland la that the^liberals are going to suffer an unprece^^dented defeat.
Thechief Interest centered In the^Hrltish elections to people on this side^of the Atlantic Is their influence on the^tlti.itni.il question. The liberals who^have Just gone out of power have been^the strongest advocates of the single^gold standaid. while the conservatives^have pronounced leanings towards bi^^metallism Conservative victory will^therefore. It is confidently believed, at^least open the way for International^conference on this subject. Selected^agents of the bimetallic league are sub^^mitting the following questions to each^candidate:
LAre you in favor of steps being taken^to s, ore ii settlement of the currency^question In International agreement at^the earliest possll.le date
2.Are you In favor of a return to the^monetary system under which the trade^of the world was practically conducted^until the year is^:!, the ratio heme, n goM^and silver Maty to t.e tlxed by Interna^^tional agreement '*
:iIf started will von vote In favor of^tbs Hasted KhaMi loinlng In an inter-^ii.iiloe.ii .^l:r. ^ in* hi for the purpose of re^^storing the Joint use of roM and silver as^full h-Kal tender money
Ina large sense Ugtaa Mrltlsh elec^^tions are of secondary Interest to^Americans only to their ii.
Itmust be pleasant for tlovtnvpr^Morion of New York to read the cold-
Mled, ^lift of fat I si-.ii.iti ois in
whhh some newspapers are Indulging^t. la live to his chances of living out a^pfl iMaMM k rm. It may ho some con^^solation to him to know' that the prob^^abilities are slightly In his favor Life^Insurance , x\,^ rts w ho ha\e been ap^^pealed to give li as their opinion that
at^73 a man's expectation of life Is a^trifle over seven years, seven and one-^tenth to speak accurately. These are^the figures deduced from the American^life Insurance tables representing the^actual mortality of insured men. If^Governor Morton's health, hereditary^and general physical conditions aro as^good as the average policy holders of^the same age, we have correctly^gauged his chances of life.^ Thit would^seem to destroy Mr. Morton's chances^of a second term at least. Calculations^of this character are something un^^usual In presidential races and their^tendency la not one of unalloyed buoy^^ancy and enthusiasm.
InChicago, they tell us, the male^barbers are seriously alarmed over the^rapid strides^If the metaphor is per^^missible^that the female barbers are^making in the business. At a recent^meeting of the tonsorial artists of that^city one of the women barbers de^^clared her belief that the women, be^^fore long, would drive the men com^^pletely out of the business. Her rea^^sons for entertaining this opinion were^that women do not drink, carouse, chew^r smoke tobacco, and In consequence^their nerve Is steadier and more re^^liable and they are therefore less liable^to do poor work upon their customers.^This, without reckoning a man's natu^^ral predilection for a woman barber^who possesses youth and Is fair to look^upon. It might be. presumed that a^strong objection to the woman barber^would he found In her Increased capac^^ity for talking a customer to death,^but strange to say, she is said to dis^^play little or no ability In this line, be^^ing, in fact, as compared with the aver^^age male barber, a model of modesty^and silence, it may be that the woman^barber has come not only to stay, but^to Increase mid multiply and crowd the^men out of the business.
Twoyears ago the government or^^dered that railways engaged In Inter^^state commerce should by July I of^this year provide their freight cars^with certain couplers and hand holds^In the Interest of safety to employes.^Some of the railroad companies are^now asking for an extension of time.^OlPieVs, probably most of them, have^already compiled with the letter of the^law, entering upon the work In ample^lime for Its completion before the day^set for the law to go Into effect. Doubt^^less It Is a work of magnitude and ex^^pense, but with the lives and limbs of^employes at stake It should be attend^^ed to as promptly as possible.
FOUND BY THE NEEDLE.
ItIndicates the Existence of ^ Huge Ilut^Inaccessible Matt of Iron.
Fromthe Literary Digest.
Sciencehat jutt demonstrated that^there lies under the historic Russian tow n^of Moscow a mast of iron oro miles in^length and breath, and powerful enough^to deflect the magnetic needlo and pull a^plumb line from tho vertical throughout^a large region, but investigation also^makes it probable that thit matt it about^tevon miles below the surface^a fact cal^^culated to cool tho ardor of speculators^for tome time to come. Wo translate^from G.tca, Leiptie, April, an account of^the discovery of tint inaccessible ore bed,^which human eye hat never icon:
Whenrecently, for the lint time in o0^yean, a new triangulation of European^Kustia has been begun, tho remarkable,^fact wat discovered that in the neighbor^^hood of Moscow the plumb lino tulferod a^very notable deviation from the vertical.^This deviation appeared greatest within a^tono that extended about 41) kilometert^(twont-four ^ilea) north and south and^Is i kilometers ill'.' miles) catt and west.^Hero tho lower end of tho line was devi^^ated 11 tecondt to tho north of the verti^^cal. About 1-' kilometer- seven and a^half nulet) touth of Moscow, on a lino^running approximately east and west, its^d.rcrtion is normal, w liilo farther touth^the lower end of the line it deviated about^live tecondt toward tho south. So no e-^worthy a deviation of the lino in a level^region seems to indicate that heavy^mattes of considerable tlucknott must bo^situated thero under tho earth's turfaco.^Groat mattes of iron wero naturally^thought of flrtt, and an attempt was^made to demonstrate tho existence of^such masses by moans of measurements,^of terrestrial magnetism. I be scientist,^H. Krittrlie, to well known on account of^his researches in terrestrial magnetism,^made in June. Me, a magnetic turvey of^the neighborhood of Moscow for 1*1) ktI-^oinetors tMi milesl around. Tho terres^^trial magnetic elements wero precisely^measured for ill localities, and indicated^cartographically on a map. It was ahovvti^that in a lotto LH kilometert |1.''. milesl^wido from north to touihand 1,^^0 ('.M^miles) long from easl to west, inclutlinc^Moscow, the total intensity of tho earth'a^masuetic force is considerably groaier^than north or toiitbof tint ^one; tho^anotnally it greater than in the eastern.^A chart of Iho anomalies of magnetic in^^clination shows that the deviation of tho^magnetic needle from the horizontal It^greater than tho normal north of Motcow^and smaller to the touth, and the chart of^ihe anomalies of declination (deviation^from truo uortlil thows similar irregularis^net. Theio retearcbet lead to the con^^clusion that where tho local attraction^wnt observed, in the neighborhood of^Moscow, hugo mattet of iron lie buried^underground, and that they postess north^magnetitm in a middle MM and south^magnetitm in two tiibiidiary zones^itretehitig north and south therefrom.^Tho question how deep tint matt lies can^^not certainly ha answerej, but aecordmi;^to Krittche's estimate, it m\y b^ assumed^that the middle zone bet scarcely less^thanleot below the turfaco.
