THE LOCAL

The democratic ticket is III the field
and the republican nominations will be
made in Il few days, after which the
campaign in Choteau county may be
considered open. While, perhaps, all
have their choice for delegate to con-
gress and for district attorney, the selec-
ton of county officers is OF more lmpor-
lance and should receive closer consider
alton from the voter than anything else.
Tt comes nearer home and tosome extent
effects the interests of all. Politics should
play the least possible part. Because a
candidate is a democrat is no reason that
he should be elected it his republican
opponent is a better man Or would more
%acceptably ill the position sought, and
rice ve1so. This thing Of carrying party
prejudice into a contest for the local
offices is an illsighted policy, and the
RIVER PRESS hopes to see as little as
possible of it this fall. There is nothing
at issue save the candidates and their
merits, and mother consideration should
swerve the voter a hairs breadth. The
time has come when the people OF Cho-
teau county should be exceedingly care
full in the selection of men for the local
offices, and we want to see the. line drawn
between men, not parties, at the APP
preaching election.
The democratic ticket does not start
out under favorable auspices. 1t is the
product of a secret caucus the delegates
having nothing to DO but ratity the
work performed by the political bosses.
There are some men on the ticket who
would make excellent officers, but they
60 into the campaign with q hard loadto
carry.
We trust that the republican conyen-
ton next Saturday will not be trans
formed into Il ratification meeting. Let
the delegates selected to nominate a
ticket meet and do the work, naming
candidates that would best serve the in
terests OF the people, if elected, and they
will meet with far greater favor at the
polls.

The prevalence of drunkenness in the
State prison at Auburn puzzled the Off
GERS for a long time. II was at first sup
posed that whisky was brou yht IN br

that distillery was III fall operation
within the walls of the institution. An
enterprising convict lad rugged a worm
in secluded spot in The kitchen, and,
with corn meal and rye, WAS able to pro-
duce a liquor that would intoxicate who
ever drank very much of it. The man
did a. thriving business. and when he
was discovered he was making money at
rapid rate. "Beer," as it is called, Is
made even at this day. The beverage is
brewing of bread crust and yeast and

limitations were made of silver coins
which would readily deceive unless
closely examined. Molds were made
of plaster of paris, and the 10, % and so
cent pieces were plated in the saddlery

supplied with this bogus money, and q
great deal of it found its way into circu-
lation outside.
The men are not allowed to carry

Notwithstanding the rule to the contrary.
Usually the watches are kept in leather
bags which are suspended by string
about the neck underneath the clothing.
A good many of the prisoners read the
newspapers regularly. How they obtain
them is a mystery. The New York
dailies reach Auburn at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, aud often they will get into
the hands of the convicts the same even

they contain no mischievous or i'm

Wifely Love.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe saws
that many women suppose that they
love their husbands, when, unfortu-
nately, they have not the beginning
of an idea what love is. Let me ex-
plain it to you, my dear lady. Low,
ing to be admired by a man, loving
to be petted by him, loving to be
caressed by him, and loving to be
praised by him, is not loving man.
All these may be when a woman has
no power of loving at all-they may
all be simply because she loves her
self, and loves to be fattured, prais-
ed, caressed, coaxed-a cat likes to
be coaxed, and stroked, and fed with
cream, and have a warm corner. But
all this is not love. 1t may exist, to
be sure, where there is love; it gen
orally does. But it may also exist
where there is love. Love, my dear
ladies, is self-sacrifce it is life out
of self and in another. Its very
essence is the PREFER ng of the COM
fort, the ease, the wishes of another
to ones own for the love we bear
them. Love is giving and not re-
ceiving. Love is not sheet of blot
