TURN OUT AND VOTE.

1t is thought 10y some that there are
more voters in the new county OF
Fergus than in the old county Of
Meagher. II il not likely that either
county will poll anywhere near its
strength. The last election was on
Il presidential year, and although de
barred from II ballot in the national
contest, it had its influence and inspi-
ration on voters. The origin of a new
county, aud the first election OF officers
tn serve the people thereof, should he
heavy vote. At this season of the
year II great many stock men and
their employees are liable To he away
from home. and ranchmen who live
remote from precincts may not find
the time To east their votes. The
anxious candidates should look after
the latter Turn ont and bring your
neighbor to the polls.
The total vote last year of what

Mr.. Fergus comes to the defense oi

some difficulty In bringing about this
desirable end. The Republicans OBJ
jected TO any one Of the four fraudu-
leutly elected Senators voting upon q
motion TO seat either Of themselves. an
objection that seemed 30 plausible and
lust that some OF the Democrats wavered
In their support Of the revolutionary
scheme. Then 1t was decided by the
Democratic Senators TO 20 on hinge
picnic down through Kentucky and
Tennessee In n chartered train, leaving
the Senate without q quorum OF mem
bers. 1t was under these circumstances
that the Republicans OF the Senate took
Ia bold and independent stand. II was
not their fault that there was nc
quorun In the Senate. The Democrats
had Voluntarily left their seats.
What was to be done? Here were foul
Republicans, about whose honest cleo
ton to the Senate there was NO doubt
waiting for admission. 1t may have
been technically wrong to admit them
but It was morally right, and Q JUS
public, discriminating in favor o
fright, upholds their action. Thus end

Rressional districts In o northern State
where an election for q Congressman
brings ont only from 5000 to 10, 00t
votes, as Ii the case in the States o

ern districts poll from %, 900 to 1000,

latter figures, simply because the peopl

A healthy sign OF the times, how

When the boycott WAS laid upon the

1t says, between lawless
and ruinous method and the possible
grievance OF CHILD LABOR as TO which
there has been much protective legisla-
ton in England and many OF our
States" The insinuation in regard to
the employment OF child labor In the

unwarranted. The "News" knows
very well, or at least ought to know,
that said employees were treated prop
erly. As much work Is now done by
one-hAlf the number, and at about the
same cost. The boys In the REPUBLI-
CAN office were never overworked,
while they were paid as much for their
services as any set Of apprentices in
any establishment OF any kind in our
city. As rule they did not average
nine hours q day, and In fact had
rather an easy time generally. There
was no occasion, therefore, for any out

Monermott rs Hush Money

A great many people are surprised
at the flight Of McDermott, the gam
bier, who should have been ut the
court this week tp have prosecuted the
men who robbed him, or rather who
took from him the money he put up In
. venture to get more money In any
other than an honest manner. When we
come to look at the subject in all It's
bearings we need not bs surprised that
when McDermott's name was called be
did not answer. Men who keep
places for gambling of course are VIC.
lators OF the law and not good citizens,
but how much better are the men who
patronize these establishments? The
keeper Of a gambling resort opens his
place for the sake Of making money
easily, to say nothing about max ing is
dishonesty. He compels nobody 70
visit his establishment AID TO rick his
money in q game OF chance The man
who ventures into sush q chance does
so Of his own volition. Between him
self and the keeper of the place there
can be no moral difference. Both
know they are violators OF law, and
both are INVOLVED in the same mutua
responsibility. The M An who comes h
gamble stakes his money, and anothe
man who plays with him scoops 1t In
1t Is we'll understood that both canno
win. The accidental throwing Of
dice or the turning OF card is not tn
chance that ruins men, but 1t Is thu
careful manipulation OF the gam olers
implements that works the ruin ans
the man who ID the best skilled come
out the winner.
What then must be thought abou
the man who enters into al arrange.
ment to cheat somebody out OF Iii
money, and being himself cheate
makes not only an exposure OF tn
whole affair, but enters a prosecution
against the keeper Of the place?
II he Is q man, why does he nc
bear his loss in silence like a man? W
are surprised that anybody shout
take 80 much stock in one who woul
expose q co-pattner In crime as to b
come his surety that he would apes
