and that will labor conscientiously to carry
out that sentiment and maintain that good

is your time Never before has there been
such an opportunity for you to be heard
and felt

They have put it into your power to make
a delegate convention that shall reflect
your will, and that shall nominate men for
the municipal Offices whom you can all
vote for with the assurance that their
election will be for the public good

notice and the committees instructions
Note carefully your voting-places, and do
not fail to be there promptly at the first
moment of the hour named, and be there
to stay till the proceedings are closed. The
first few moments of meetings like these
are, in many cases, the most important

action. Be there at the beginning to see
that the organization is in accordance with
the rules of the committee, and remain till
the close to prevent any change of direc-
ton in favor of interested parties.
Notice that the committees to be elected

The editor of the American Grocer,
under the heading What we Drink" de.
clares that the consumption of distilled
spirits has increased, from 1875, when the
amount was Sc, 1905 gallons, to 81, 1885,
5Sl in 1884. Whether the increase has
merely corresponded with the increase Of
population we cannot say. but we should
think that this was the fact. The con-
sumption of malt liquors, however, has in
this period nearly doubled, increasing from
294, $685. l57 gallons, in 1875, to $50, O,Ol6,-
5l7 in lSS4-nine years. Were this ag-
gregate divided among the individuals of
ing the year, 81 gallons, which would be a
nasty dose for many hundreds of thousands
of people. We are pleased to learn, in
connection with this, that there has been a
very decided increase in the popularity
and consumption of coffee, for we believe
that coffee is the best beverage in use, and
it is a beverage that can be obtained in a
pure state. On the whole, the editor con-
cludes that the American people are i'm
proving in their tastes, morals and habits,
and that I'VE are advancing in truly tenn
perance style to a higher degree Of civili-
cation" And having based his assertion
on facts and figures, it should be accepted

through the meeting in block by an I'M
derstanding with the majority OF the voters
rallied there for the purpose.
The nomination of the members of these
committees must be watched. Let the
disinterested citizens who want to be heard
in these nominations not hesitate to get
on their feet in time. 1t is easier to head
off bad nomination than it is to vote
down bad nomination after it has been
made
A reliable intelligent, unpledged, and
unpacked committee is all-important
That secured, all the rest is safe.
In order to do this, all the Republican
voters of each precinct should be at the
meeting tonight when the clock strikes,
every one. II the people are all there,
there will be fair play and public senti-
ment will be reflected in the result. 1t is
simply a matter of an hour attendance
on the primary meetings. In that hour
the city government is made. If you do
not give that hour, you must not complain
if it is made wrong. That hour is tonight.
That hour makes the convention.
If the convention tomorrow is such as
you can make it tonight, 1t will be disin-
terested, representative, unbiased, and un-
pledged gathering of Republican citizens,
assembled in the interest of the good name
of the party and the good government of
the city. Such convention will be
trusted to give us honorable and eligible
ndidates-candidates that can be elected
and that are worthy of being elected.
With such candidates, there will be no
excuse for third party in the field With
such candidates. if Mr. Ludlow should run
for mayor, as it is threatened he will his
purpose would be as apparent as II. John S

such candidates, Mr.. Ludlow will not run.
With such Republican candidates, there

Our dispatches state that the opin-
Ion is generally expressed In London
''that the time has arrived to put q
pressure upon the United States
government to stop the operations of
dynamiters." Just so. Now will
our cousins across the water tell US
how the United States can put .
stop to the operations of dynamiters
In London. The Chicago socialists
say there are 5000 men In that city
who know how to make dynamite
and can make it ''fOr the price of q
good dinner" All they want is "a
little hogs grease and q little nitric
acid" to make the powerful com.
pound. There are probably quite as
many men in London as In Chicago
who know how to make it. and they
have lard and nitric acid In the
former city. The London police
should wake up and look out for
their own dynamlters. The United
States have nothing to do with
them. =:

A sufficient answer to the Inter
Mountains Saturday evening diatribe
against silver Ia found in the fact
that Director of the Mint, Burchard,
states that the total amount of silver
coined during 1884 was 1928, 119, 978,
while the total amount of silver Ger
tifcates issued during the same time
was S28. 269. $50. Silver certificates
mean silver circulation just as fully
as standard silver dollars do, anu it
must be clear to even the du!lest OBJ
server that the silver put in circula-
ton by means of certificates during
1884 exceeded the total coinage BY
$3.50 600. In addition to this several
millions Of coined dollars were also
put into circulation. Silver coinage
IL In no danger. The next move will
be to increase the monthly coinage.
1t should be raised to s., 1000, 0co. Our
contemporary will also observe that
Montana will be ably represented In
the Colorado Silver Convention by
MI. g. T. Hauser.

GRABBING II z

Among the avalanche Of bills
Governor Potts has hurled upon the
legislature is one to amend section
$50 Of the revised statutes. The
amendment consists in striking out
the clause providing that no corpc-
ration shall own over $40 acres Of
land, and the object Is to permit COT
porations to purchase and hold as
much land a. they may wish. II the
PEOPLE desire that all the arabic and
grazing lands of Montana shall pass
into the hands of \ few. wealthy cor
poratiops and the Territory be made
one vast herding ground for stock
there can be no objection to the bill.
But II they wish to e the ~agricultu-
raj portions Of the country developed
to its full extent and its waste places
Dotted with a hardy class Of people
and its various industries prof1tably
pursued then the clause In the law
referred to should remain unchanged.
There Is q general demand made
that the preemptioo, timber culture
and desert land acts be repealed and
one branch of congress has already
taken action looking to their repeal.
The Object is to give the public -
m lin to actual settlers and to them
ouly upon their compliance with the
homestead act. This movement is
in accord with the general sentiment
of the country, and it seems very
much like defying that sentin emit
for the leg slatiYe assembly to remove
the clause in question from u stat
ute books. We do not believe MI.
Potts bill will meet the appreciation
of the people of Montana and their
interests ard wishes should be para
mount to all others, and should be
consulted ty n law makers. The
bill opens the door for land grabbing.

GOOD IF TRUE.

A New York correspondent writes
that several weIl-known physicians
and surgeons r out with qualified
testimonials to the efficacy of the new
a%nesthetic, muriate of COCAINE. DR..
Fordyce Barker states that he used it
for the sores In Gen. Grants mouth
and the pain ceased. DR.. William
Polk says 1t is very useful in other
parts of the body besides the eye. He
performed an operation recently
during which he had to cut through
the abdominal wall of the liver, re-
move an abcess and stitch the tissue
again to the abdominal wall. Before
beginning he rubbed the anesthetlc
we'll into the skin, and the patient
suffered no pain. DR.. Polk, however,
thinks its use will he limited to minor
surgical operations, and that in ope-
rations taking considerable time and
in which the nerves are affected by
other things than pain, ether must
still be employed. Another physician
says the effects of the anesthetic are
uncertain.

The Governor of North Carolina
tells the Legislature that the delay in
the trial of criminals in that state is
putting the law abiding spirit of the
people to . test which In several
instances they have not been able to
stand. He condemns lynch law in
the strongest terms, but thinks that
the responsibility for such outbreaks
must fall largely upon the Legis-
lature, which persistently neglects to
provide q more speedy and efficient
criminal administration. This is q
timely reminder, which may have
an application in other states than
NorthC Carolina, and to other instances
of persons taking the law into their
own hands.

DEATH MADE EASY.

In his message to the legislature,
Governor Hill of New York suggests
that a substitute should be found for
the 'uode of executing criminals by
hanging, which. he says. has come
down to US from the dark ages" The
subject has created much discussion
Of late years as much on account of
the frequent brutal bunglings at the
gallows as by the responsiveness of
this method of execution. The adop-
lion Of the Spanish garrotte has been
suggested as the better way of dispos-
ing of convicted murderers, while the
use of opium Is proposed by others.
Governor Hill, however does not
recommend either, but asks: "Can-
not the science of the present day
provide a means of taking a life of
such as are condemned to die in a less
barbarous manner? Continuing he
inquiries: "What more scientific
method = be devised than the ap-
plica'ion of electricity as an exc
cutioner?" There can be none.
Persons says the HAIL ind Express
who have read the series of inter.
views with electrical experts recently
published in that journal must have
observed that an electral current of
1,OoOvclts is considered the maximum
which the human system can re-
ceive without fatal results, whereas
the wires which feed the lamps with
which our streets r lighted carry a
current Of $500 volts. How simple q
process it would be to connect the
place Of execution in the Tombs with
the system Of electrical street
illumination, 81 that electricity could
te made the executioner of
murderers?
The criminal would be placed in a
chair with his head bound back
against a bulb at the end of the wire
through which the fatal shock would
be communicated, and it would be
possible to furnish the death seat
with an automatic attachment so
that the execution could be effected
at a given moment by the action of q
clock-like apparatus, and without the
least movement Of the hand of the
officer charged with the i~nfiction of
the death penalty. What more
scientific method than the n here
proposed can be devisedP Death
would be instantaneous and perfectly
painless, while at the same time the
awfulness of the penalty thus In.
dlctsd would be profoundly i'm.
Dressive.
