1854, and commend to the Democracy OF
the country the nominees Of said conven-
ton, Grover Cievei"na, of Ne" York, tor
President, ana I., :. ~. Hendricks, ot In.
States, as worthy oi the enthusiastic sup
port of all Democrats and all other citizens
who believe in a., honest and economical
administration of the affairs Of the Ma.
tional Government.
Resolzyxi, Tha, the Democrats of Mon
tana express their appreciation ot the faith
full, jealous and uselu! services OF Hon.
Martin Maginns, who has tor more than a
decade ably represented Montaua in the
Congress Of the United States.

Some Newspaper Figures.

1t is astonishing to contemplate the enor-
nous number Of people in the world to
whom newspaper must be as rare as a
diamond. Recently published statistics
show that while the circulation OF newspa.
pers throughout the warld aggregates the
enormous number ot 10 .ooo, ,ooo, 900 it only
averages six and a half copies year to
each inhabitant Of the globe. This is as.
suming that only one paper goes to each
purchaser, hut since it is no uncommon
thing for one man to buy several, the pro.
portion of those who never buy one is con.
siderablv increased. Europe publishes
lo,537, while that wonderful section OF the
world classcd as North America follows
with l:,loo. The whole Of Asia can only
show 77s-a contrast the more striking be
side the benighted South America, which
runs close upon that vast continent with
6o9. Africa ,ags behind with only 49,,
the modern settlements uf Australia in its
limited area owning Col. Dividing them
into languages there are 1880 printed in
the English language, 1880 in German,
$500 in French, and 1000 in Spanish.
The annual aggregate circulation in the
United States is 100000 as compared with
,,,6oooo,ooo in Great Britain and ireland
giving the United States the position ot
being the most voracious devourers ol
newspaper literature in the world.

Platform Adopted by the Democratic Col
ventlon of Eeaverheai County.

l. We, the Delegates of the Democracy
of the County Of Beaverhead in conven-
ton assembled, hereby declare our firm
adherence to the principles and doctrines Of
the Democratic party as expressed in the
platform adopted by the National Demo.
cratic Convention held at Chicago, July
Sth, 1854, and recommend to the Democ
racy Of the country the nominees of said
convention, Grover Cleveland for Presi.
dent and Thomas A. Hendricks for Vice
President Of the United States, as worthy
Of the enthusiastic support Of all Demo
Gratis and all others who believe in an hon.
est and economical administration of the
affairs of the National Government.
:. And whereas, there is to be submitted
to the voters Of the Territory OF Montana
at the election in November for ratifca.
ton or rejection, the Constitution OF the
State Of Montana as prepared by the con.
vcntion held at Helena, Jan. 14th, 1854;
And whereas, the people of the Territory
Of Montana have for more than % years
faithfully and loyalty supported the Con.
stitution Of the United States and have
patiently submitted to the Territorial forms
of government, which, in many instances
have been worse than the colonial forms o
government;
And whereas, the people are deprived o
the right to elect their own rulers and thci
Representative has no voice in the halls o
the National Congress of the United States
And whereas, the Territory OF Montan'
is now fully able, both in resources, wcalt|
and population to assume her place amon'
the sisterhood Of States, and to fully main
tain that high position;
Therefore, be it Resolved, That we urg
upon all voters, irrespective Of party al
tiliation, the necessity OF voting to ratif
said Constitution.

Expectations.
BY ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS.

We rode into the wooded way;
Below us wide the shadows lay;
We rode and met the kneeling day;
We said: 1T is too late.
1.-THE sun has dropped into the west;
The mountain holds him to her breast
She folds and bushes him to rest
For us it is too late,
ITO see the leaf take fire now,
To SEQ and then to wonder how
The glory pauses on the bough
While painting grass-tops wait"
When, 10 the miracle came on,
A roadside turn-a moment gone
And far the sun low lying shone;
The forest stood i'll state.
TRANSPORTED, spread the silent space;
The glamour leaped about the place,
And touched us, swept from face to face.
We cried: Not yet to late r
But one, who nearer drew than ALL
Leaned low and whispered "Suns may fall
Or flash; dear heart speak and call
Your soul unto its fate.
thread bravely down !ife's evening slope,
Before the night comes, do not grope!
Forever shines some small sweet hope,
And God is not too late"

Why should our Federal Govern
ment collect from the people more
revenue than is necessary and than is
needed for economical administers
tionP The Republican party desires
a lavish state of things, and hence
wishes an overlooking treasury, even
if the people do suffer from tariff
exactions. The Democratic party is
opposed to the system; wants not re-
dundant revenues in order that party
favorites may plumber and help to
carry elections, as was done by Star
route Dorsey & Co., in 1880.

The idea that the Federal govern

The idea that the Federal govern
ment should engage in the telegraph
business, attend to school interests,
etc., is in accord with the centraliza-
ton efforts OF the Republican party.
Let the people in the States manage
their own schools and do their own
telegraphing.

The Democratic party favor low
taxes. The Republican party is the
high tax party. Let us hoist the ban
