DENMARK is upon the verge OF a revoll-
ton. The people are rising against the ar
bitrary actions OF their king, and the king
is Strengthening his deienses. The Danes
are a hardy and a brave people, peaceful
and orderly ordinarily, but dangerous as
lions when aroused in a just cause. They
are as dangerous as the mercurial French
men and not nearly as easily paciied once
they engage in strife. If bloodshed should
occur, a great uprising may be looked for.

THE consideration that the Anaconda
Company SHOWS for the miners in the
mountains beyond Anaconda, is to be
commended in the strongest manner. It is
greatly appreo' ated Ivy the poor miners,
and the Review takes proper notice OF the
fact, rs will be seen by an article elsewhere
republished. The fact that the model
works will receive and treat custom ore
will add materially to the prosperity of
Anaconda. as it will be the means Of start
ing many freight teams, for which the town
will be headquarters. The presence Of
freishters means activity and money.

To-Day the special election WILDE held to
determine whether or not the people will
stand a special tax Of one-tentl, OF one per
cent. for the purpose OF creating a fund for
the maintenance of the fire department.
The money to be realized by such /, tax is
to be applied to necessary repairs on the
apparatus and the balance is to be held for
'uture uses of like character. The members
OF the department ask for the money, but
they have wisely resolved that they will in
no wise exert themselves to bring out the
vote. They are giving their time and ser
vice grataitousl.y to the public and feel
tnat ii the taxpay crs are not willing to

Eaa that they might as well know it, and

vots against the measure, as the money is
really needed to protect the community

IE the Northern Pacific railroad has
really contaminated the sale of $4,000
acres OF land at 81 per acre, it is to be
congratulated, but We car scarcely say SO
much for the country. The acquisition OF

wealthy individuals, with no thought OF
subdivision, is an evil from which. as a ma
ton, we may well pray to be delivered:
with Ireland as an example,. America
should make every effort to bring about
the subdivision OF the public domain
