PUBLIC BEADING ROOMS.


One of the institutions of Bozeman,
upon which We look with pride, is the
public reading rooms. Although public
reading rooms have beer in existence in
Bozeman for the past two years, it was
not until last fall that it became popular
and filed the place for which it was
intended. For a long time it was looked
upon as a branch church organization,
and those whom it was designed to bene-
fit remained away It's location, up
stairs, through large hall, in the small
rear room, also had a discouraging ten
dency. But since the room has been
removed to Main street, across from the
rons. Ainr6e hundred books are kept in
the library, and two hundred more are
to be added as soon as possible. OF this
number, one-half are constantly in circu-
lation. Territorial aud other weeklies
can always be found on the tables, also
the popular monthlies and illustrated
journals. This philanthropic enterprise
deserves the hearty support Of every
citizen interested in the good morals Of
our boys and young men, who, in these
rooms acquire taste for choice reading
matter, and in more than one instance
the yellow cover has been forever
abandoned for Cooper's and Irying's
works. This institution is also crafty
ing boon to the stranger within our
gates, who finds quiet retreat, surrounds
ed by the very latest and best periodicals
published.
The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1886-04-07
THE RESULT.

To him who takes interest in politics,
the result of Mondays election is full of
reflection. That the entire city is demo-
cratic, is now almost certain, and that a
large number Of so-called democrats
scratched their tickets from A to lizard
is also painfully apparent. Such work
has very depressing effect upon those
who work hard and earnestly for the
ticket, especially when it is done by
those who reap all the benefits of polit-
zeal preferment. There can be no good
reason advanced for Staff Houston's de-
feat, and if there was, the convention
would have been the place to have
defeated him. We have very little SYM
pathy for those who absent themselves
from the conventions and defeat candi-
date at the polls. These are the tactics
of our republican brethren, and may be
fashionable, but it is decidedly injurious
to the party. The democrats, especially
the younger members of the party,
worked hard before and on election day
for the candidates, outnumbering the
republican workers two to one, yet with
all their work they were forced to accept
a partial victory instead of unanimous
one; as it would have been, had all the
democrats been harmoniously inclined.
Mr.. Hoffman of the third ward is GER
tainly to be congratulated. He has re-
ceived a larger vote than has ever been
accorded a deDocraG heretofore in that
ward. His election depends entirely
upon the casting of lots by the council
men at their next regular meeting. He
has broken the record, and the great
and glorious third, SO long the strong
hold Of the g. O. p, led to victory by
Uncle Sans officials, depending for their
livelihood upon a democratic admins
tration, is liable to become democratic.

THE STRIKE AT HELENA.

Contractor Palmer of Helena explains
the strike as follows:
All that trouble reported from Helena
as occurring between me and my stone
cutters was very much exaggerated. l
took the contract and employed dozen
men at 40 cents an hour or S4 per day,
to do stone cutting. Before they began
work they all agreed to my ruels, VIZ;
That pay day should come only once a
month and that no one should smoke or
drink while on the work. The wages
paid were cool for all the men using my
tools, board was cheep (S5 or $6 per
week. and the work not heavy The
trouble arose from some of the men de-
at 5 o'clock. | agreed to this if they
would make up that lost hour during the
week. They struck, and | paid them
off The county Commissioners ana all
of the reputable citizens of Helena sust-
aimed me, and am going right OH with
the work and have plenty ofmen to carry
it ahead. The statement is false that I
cut the mems wages down or attempted
to bulldoze them.
