NO OTHER MoNTANlAN NEED APPLY.

Years ago the people of the Territory OF
Helena fooled the voters of Deer Lodge
into the proposition Of voting the capital
away from Virginia City and taking II oyer
to Last Chance gulch. AS soon as the tle''
ena people got the capital located on the
banks OF a worked-out gulch they held a
meeting in the vicini., OF the failing pile
of Tho,npson & !,aylor and organized the
Territory Of Helena, the hub OF when was
to be Helena, and the spoke> OF which were
to be the towns and settlements OF Mon
tana. The movement was solid, and every
man taking part solemnly pledged his me,
his fortune, and his sacred honor If he had
any, to work solely and selfishly for Hell
ma, first, last and all the time. 1t was a
powerful organization at its inception and
its potency was felt at the first turn loose
all over this broad Territory, and ever since
the citizens Of the Territory of Helena
have been the nanipulators OF our oest'n'
les Ieagued together for selfish pur.
rose this organization wins every time. II
dominates and elects our Delegate to Con-
gress. 1t supplies the material for filling
all of the TERRITORIAL offices that are not
filled bv the grace of the President Of the
United States. When a great public en-
terprisc like the building Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad was about to pass through
the Territory by the Butte route this Hell
ena league was potent enough to turn the
road round through the potato patches OF
the Prickly Pear and on past tine mouth
of old Last Chance Gulch over the back
bone of the continent. In the recent pro-
ceedinss of the Council the work Of the
"workers Of Helena" is plainly visible. IL
Of the Territorial officers are Helenaites.
No other Montanian need apply. We have
no objection to the gentlemen nominated
and confirmed, but candidate outside oi
Helena might have been named for one Of
the positions. Gov. Crosby has only been
resident of the Territory Of Helena a
short time and it is among the possibilities
that the Governor has had the wool pulled
over his eyes in the late nominating bust.
ness. However, the average Montanian
has got SO used 10 Helena getting away
with everything that he will be fully pre-.
pared on the present occasion to meekly
pucker his mouth and whistle-"No othe,
Montanian need apply"

THE LITERARY SOCIETY.

The meeting of the Literary Society on
last Saturday evening at School Hall was
well attended and the visitors enioved the
exercises The musical and literary parts
OF the programme were rendered with more
than customary effect. The audience was
agreeably entertained throughout the en-
tire evening and frequently applauded the
rendition OF the many pieces on the pro-
gramme. The debate was skilfully con-
Quoted. The affirmative arguers went back
to the naked niygers oil Africa and brought
poor Sanho and Dinah in chains ON the
decks of slave ships to the slave pens Of
the Sunny South, where for century they
suffered excrutiatiny agony at the hands
OF their White masters who thu,nped and
togged the poor darkies sinfully and also
>hamctully for three generations. The
affirmative made out a strong case in be-
halt OF the wronged Ethiopian race. The
negative debaters sailed in in behalf of the
lnjuns-squaws, bucks and pappooses-
and eloquently portrayed how the noble
Red Fellows had been cheated and swap
ped clean out OF everything from the Cont
nent of North America down to their buck.
skin breech-clouts by the cunning and in.
dustrious Yankees. The Judges came rear
rendering stand off decision, but finally
decided, according to the arguments adduc.
ed, that the Negroes had sustained greater
wrongs at the hands Of the whites thar
the Indians.

Died Of wh,skv.

Mr.. W. j. Flack died Of alcoholism
at GastOn's Hotel about eight O'Clock
last night, having ordered thirty. SIX
drinks carried from the bar to his
room during the day, and besides hsv.
log two bottles Of ardent spirits at his
side, from which he had imbibed, un.
til not a drop remained. 1t
was currently reported around
the city that the faithlessness of his
wife was the cause Of the trouble, but
inquiry elicits the fact that the wife
is an honest, worthy aud innocent
woman, and that a mad frenzy and
liquor alone combined to pause bis
death.
The details are as follows: Mr..
FlaCk is about 80 years of age, aud has
been for some years past a conductor
on the Little Rock railway. For some
time he has been addicted to the
free use Of liquor, aud occasionally
became violent. On Wednesday Of
last week a relative of Mrs. Flack
arrived here from Trimble Station,
up the Q. an .. road, and lodged at
GlstOn's. Being unacquainted with
gas arrangements, he blew out
the light in his room upon
retiring, instead OF turning it
of, and next evening DO was found
inSensible and bleeding at the nose.
DR.. B. g. Henning was called in, and
administered to the sufferer. Mrs.
Flack called, and the physician ad.
viSed that the patient be removed to
her residence, corner at Sycamore and
Fifth streets, Chelsea, which advice
was followed. Last Friday evening
Mr.. Flack returned home to find the
sick man there and his wife caring for
him. He became violent, 6Bally going
of aud returning under the influence
Of liquor, to drive the sick man
and wife into the street. Saturday
evening he took lodgings at G~aston's;
soon became delirious; was attended
by Dr. Henn;ng, who administered an
opiate, and on yesterday visited him
again professionally. La0t evening
upon cGlliDS he found the patient in a
dying condition, and the enormous
quantity Of liquor he consumed was
evidently the cause. He took no
morphine or other drug. ave that
given by the doctor.
In his frepziod state he had made
outrageous charges against Mrs. Flack,
