improvement by which itgives work
to the idle and bread to the hungry,
thus preserving peace and good or
der. Is our government less a pa
rent to the people than the despot-
isms of the Old World? But what
have we to do in the United States
that can give employment to the
idle multitudes? First, we have
score of public buildings partially
constructed in different cities, and
the work on them instead of being
stopped should be largely increased.
Then we have the Mississippi and
its leading tributaries to be so i'm
proved as to give cheap labor and
easy transportation to the Gulf, and
save the farmer from paying half
the value of his crop in sending it
to market.
HIGHWAYS TO THE PACIFIC.
Last but not least, the country
demands the construction of two
additional railways TO the Pacific
coast. The Northern Pacific on the
47th, and the Texas Pacific on the
sd parallel of latitude. BY the
provisions os the bids now in Con-
gress, both these roads can be con
structed without drawing a dollar
from the national Treasury; and the
vigorous prosecution of work on
them would at once relieve the la
Dor and financial distress of the
country, by putting many millions
of idle capital into active circula-
ton. giving employment to the null
both on the line of the |
roads and in the factories and ma
chine shops of the older States;
new and pleasant homes to other
in the far West, and at
the same time save the whole coun-
try from tax of eight or ten mil
lions a year, now levied in exorbi
tant charges by the Union and Cen
trail Railroads. Measures of this
kind will give present relief and as
Surance of future and permanent
prosperity.
But while have been maunder-
ing along over matters of this kind

rich plains and prairies of Indiana
and Illinois, crossed the great

Myra, good-byl a cruel decree
Forces me from thee away,
But my heart, that loves but thee,
Will sorely miss thee every day;
And while by fate's cruel command
From thy presence | remove,
I'll miss thy pressure Of my hand
And thy fond chress of love.
Myral good-byl relentless fate
Has severed me from love and you,
Ny heart, all sore and desolate,
Sadly signs fond adieu;
Fondly signs sad farewell,
Still memories sweet depart will never,
But cast e4ichantments charming spell
To finger round the past forever.
Myra, good-byl in every place
My heart viii beat to loves sweet measure,
I'll see thy form, behold thy face,
And think ofthee and vanished pleasure;
And thokthy presence l cannot share,
Still forever you will DO,
Absent or present, everywnere,
The glorious star of memory.

The witness, Wedge, before the
Louisiana subcommittee, proved to
be an entering wedge to split open
additional Republican frauds. The
deliberate intention of the Republi-
cans was to have East Feliciana
thrown out on the ground of intim-
idation. They therefore put no
ticket in the field, so as to represent
that the Republican voters were all
in state Of terrorism, which was
false, of course. The arrangement
to throw out the vote of the parish
was made in New Orleans long be-
fore the election, because it was
known that there would be Demo
cratic majority. Mr.. John Sher-
man was of course in the confidence
of the Republican managers who
put up the job.-[Courier-Journal.

whatever enterprise he touched,
after moving to New York, was
crowned with success. When
Greely was poor apprentice

The announcement which came a
few days ago Of the death Of Ex-
King George the Fifth Of Hanover
brings to mind many incidents in
the life Of this not very brilliant
sovereign which were at one time
quite familiar to the reading world.
The father of the Ex King was a
monarch Of narrow views, and de
voted most Of his energies to the
work Of oyerthroWing the liberal
Constitution Of Hanover and per-
scouting the honorable function
aries who refused to applaud his
course. King Earnest. after a not
very successful reign, died in 1851,
and his blind son became King of
Hanover under the title of George
the Fifth. The blind King was in
many respects much better man
than his father, but his reign
abounded in idiosynerasies, one of
which is rather interesting at this
time. He was thorough believer
in the devil Of the fathers" and
was determined that such belief
should be instilled into the minds
OF the children. He Insisted upon
Old Nick being reinstated in all
his former rights in the elementary
school books used throughout the
kingdom. By order Of his blind
Majesty, the devil was described II
those school-books asa person OF
very villainous and reprlsive ap-
pearance, with the traditional
cloyen foot, and with perfect
arsenal Of frightful instruments Of
torture. The Hanoverians refused
to swallow this devil, and a long
and amusing political struggle en-
sued. In 1866, however, Bismarck
settled the Hanoyerian question.
devil and all, by dethroning George
the Fifth and making Hanover a !
part Of the German Empire Up |
to the time of his death the blind
king, hopeful ofregaining his crown,
led d rowing life, but did not re
2elye much sympathy from the
monarchs Of Europe,
Many OF the Hanoyerians were
very warmly attached to him, and
n. this country it is not uncommon
o hear the injustice of Bismarck
o the blind king mentioned in
touching terms by those who were
his subjects.

The habit Of being just in time
to be too late L, not always a hap
py habit. 1t happens well enough
in the case of a steamboat explo-
sion or railroad accident, but its
effects are fatal when it comes to
going to dinner or getting married.
One Of the sad consequences of
coming too late has just been de
veloped in the case Of Pastor Vos-
burgh, who was recently acquitted
on the charge Of attempting to poi
son his wife, through want of sufi
eient testimony. A Jersey City
druggist named Wilson, it appears,
was about the only druggist who
was not subp@naed to appear in
the case. and sworn statement
which he has just made goes to
show that he was, of all others, the
Identical apothecary required by
the prosecution to establish the
crime. This druggist alleges that
Vosburgh frequented bis shop, and
carried away several ounces Of poi
sonous drugs, witch he obtained
surreptltiously from bottles on the
shelves during the temporary ab-
sence of the proprietor. The drug
gist is represented as frank, in
telligent young man, who can not
be impelled by any mercenary mo
tiyes, as his tradeis is already suffer
ing in consequence Of the state
ments he has made. Pastor Yos
burgh, having already been tried
and acquitted on the charge Of
poisoning Of course entertalns 10
fears Of fatnre arrest, although
be IS making strenuous efforts to
suppress the statements. They
seem to meet with general credence,
however, and the only dissatisfao-
ton expressed against the young
apothecary is on account Of his
tardiness N making the revelation.

A Berlin letter throws some
light upon Socialism in Germany
The writer attributes its rapid
growth to the reaction following
the flush times that succeeded the
war with France. The number OF
Socialist voters is estimated at
seven hundred thousand, and there
are about forty newspapers printed
In their interest. Twelve mem
bers Of the German Parliament are
avowed advocates Of Socialism, and
converts include persons of all
classes and all conditions of socie-
ty. At their meets gs the question
of a revolution for the overthrow
of the present order Of things is
openly discussed, and the belief is
entertained that all European gov
ernments can. be overturned. The
leaders boast that they have many
sympathizers in ehis country, but
they find here the greatest obsta-
Gle in the way of their triumph is
the pure American element, whose
conservatism and respect for law
and order has become a national
characteristic.

Choteau County.seems favored

unusually prosperous, its agrioul-

good, the flower of the military for
ces Of the Territory, Gneluding the

an unlimited store Of mineral wealth
has been discovered at its doors,
the. Improvement of the Upper
Missouri river will be resumed in
the fall, and Congress has wisely ap-
propriated a liberal sum for the es-
tablishment Of a large military post
for the protection of its inhabitants
and to aid in the development Of
its vast natural resources.
A prosperous future now seems
assured to the county, but there is
yet another feature that must be
added before the people Of Cbo-
teau can feel they have all that
rightfully belongs to them. For
five years or more the county has
been without telegraphic or other
rapid and reliable means Of com
munication. There has been no
telegraphic wire at all, and the
mail service has been irregular, un
reliable and altogether unsatisfaclo-
~. At one time telegraph
line existed between Benton and
Fort Shaw, and occasionally theye
was one between the latter point
and Helena, but the benefit de
rived from either was slight com
pared with the troublean expense
Of keeping them in repair.
Now from Bismarck to Benton
there is one Of the best routes on
the continent for railroad, stage or
telegraph. It crosses no noun
tains, the streams, though numer-|
Gus, are shallow, and easily forded
at all seasons of the year, and it
can never become obstructed by |
snow or washed out b. the heaviest
rain fall. The distance from He
ena to Bismarck via this road is
greater than from Helena to
JoriDne via the Corinne route, but
t shortens the distance from Mon
ana to the commercial centres of
he East, by decreasing the travel
" rail.
This is q matter that concerns
he rest of Montana as well as

,dvantages over the one now in
