THE MONTANA CENTRAL.

According to the River Press of recent
to Helena and probably to Butte by the
close OF another season, is an assured fact.
That the road will eventually be built to
Butte and to points still further west is a
reasonable supposition. The survey of
the line through Boulder City and up
Boulder Creek to the main range of the
Rocky Mountains is, we are informed, COM
pleted but the line it will follow from that
point to this city has not yet been def
nitely settled. The Press in speaking of
the progress being made says: Messrs.
Kirkendall & McCune, Montana Central
contractors, are advertising for 500 men
at Gorham, to work on the railroad, show
ing a determination to push operations in
that quarter to the fullest extent during
the season. The grade OF the Montana
Central will be finished and ready for the
rails from Helena to a point about ten
miles down the Missouri, below the mouth
of Prickly Pear Creek, by the goth instant,
excepting only the big tunnel. The bridge
contractors are pushing matters and will
have the many bridges in that dis
lance completed. Whether or not any
work will be done in Choteau County this
fall, on the Montana Northern, is still an
undecided question and will probably be
decided by Mr.. Hill on the occasion of his
visit to this section next week. That
there is to be no let up in operations and
that the plans are fully matured for the
Of the Manitoba system as far
as Helena, and probaly Butte, next season,
is no longer a matter of conjecture. 1t is
q settled fact"

THOSE who keep track of current politics
will not need to be reminded that the New
York Republicans hold no State conven-
ton this year.. The fear was that the tenn
perance wing might demand pledges hard
to be fulfilled, and so the work of nomina-
items vas turned over to the State Com
mittee. The wisdom OF this course is ap-
parent, and while the Temperance issue
may not cut a very big figure in
the counsels and camp our Republican
brethren, The MINER still advises them to
postpone indefinitely the holding of their
convention and trust to some Sample Orr
to lead their forlorn hope through the can
vass. Coming to the point, however, the
following from the New York Mail and Ex-
press,a prominent Republican organ, shows
how the action of the New York Republic
cans is regarded by a portion of the party.
ut is not too late for our Republican State
to rectify q blunder which a
majority Of it's members. if we are rightly
informed, already recognize as a blunder.
But the first step for the wise local leaders
of the party, all over the State, to take, is
to see that the noblest and most respected
are sent to the Anti-Saloon Repub-
lican convention, which is to meet at Binq-
hamton on the seventh of September. A
representative body of Repub-
leans in that convention might put the
party right on the most important OF liv- |
ing issues and infuse the party with it's old
time enthusiasm, as a party with great
moral IDEAS"

The terrible calamity which befell Char.

it will take a long time to repair the dam.
age to the city. Many lives were lost, and
the fright suffered by the whole people was
scarcely preferable to death. Indeed it is
difficult to imagine anything more terrible
than an earthquake shock of sufficient
force to destroy a city.
The disaster in question will direct atten-
ton to the unusual prevalence of earth.
quakes and volcanic disturbances in all
parts OF the world during the present

in n OF the islands of Australia, long
since supposed to be extinct, burst forth
with great fury, causing considerable des-

Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius have
been active OF late and P%opocatspetl seems
on the point Of fresh eruption.
Only a few days ago 3OOpeople lost their
lives by a series OF earthquakes in Greece,

SOMETHING TO DO.

Under the above caption the Fergus
County Argus of the End inst, has the fol-
lowing to say concerning the laws passed
by the Fourteenth Legislature Assembly,
and the duties OF the ensuing one. Several
OF it's suggestions are worthy OF the serious
consideration OF the next Legislature:
1.-THE Fifteenth Legislative Assembly,
which celebrates this winter, has a little
something to take up it's time and atten-
ton; in fact, through the stupendous blund-
ers of the Fourteenth Assembly, it has an
opportunity to make itself as famous as
it's predecessor, bnt in the opposite ex-
treme-instead of useless and d.. +. legisla-
tion-by repeating about all the 'Iate
lamented" enacted. In the first place each
and every county should be allowed repre-
.sentation in the legislative body, which
means thepassage Of eapportionment bill
Second-the salary system, having proven
premature, if not inadequate and inferior
to the old law, should be repealed. Third
The new road NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. be
codsigned to oblivion, to keep company
with some OF the legislators who voted for
it, and the old laws, under which the roads
received a little attention, restored to full
force. Fourth-The expressed desire OF
the people of a given County should be re-
spected, and where it is patent that divi-
sion OF old AMI creation of new Counties is
advantageous to the taxpayers, new Coun-
ties should be established. The away-be-
yond. comprehension acts of the Four
tenth Assembly were partially due to the
endeavor to tackle everything known land
.unknown) to statutory provisions which
was within shooting range, and how well
the shooters shot the unpublished proceedings
Of that body amply nswers May the
good Lord spare the Territory a second
dose of such an affection.
Too much law is as deplorable as no law
At all. Giva us the necessary Legislation,
about all of which is mentioned above,
then let the members-"good and faithful
'ervants'-draw their pay and go home,
the Fifteenth Legislative Assembly
will merit and receive the individual and
collective thanks of every citizen of the

OWING to the unfair apportionment upon
which representation in the New York legis-
lature is based, the Democrats must carry
that state by about $4,000 majority in
order to secure a majority in the ~legisla-
ture. But they propose to carry it by a
still greater majority this fall and elect a
United States senator. The Republicans
have given evidence of their want OF conf
dence in their party by refusing to call a
State Convention. They are afraid OF the
Prohibition element in their party and
that in case a convention were called it
would insist upon a plank in the platform
that would drive away a large portion OF
the rank and file OF the party. This is the
opportunity ofthe Democrats, and they
are little less thar idiots if they don't take
advantage of it.
