The Fort Wayne Gazette, which should
have it's hands full attending to home
politics, says: "True, his name, as an
nounced, sounds like the title to dime
novel, but that does not prevent Major
Maginnis of Helena from being the smart
est democrat west of the Missouri river.
He has been a delegate from the territory
for two terms in congress, and carries the
entire Irish wing of the democratic party
in Montana in his pocket. Montana has
been democratic in politics for some
years, but by a small majority. Major
Maginnis and Charles A. Broadwater have
kept this majority by running in Montana
Central and Manitoba railroad workmen
from all along the line to vote, and when
this failed have sent out little parties of
three and four to organize voting pre-
cincts in the solemn silence of the foot
hills. These little parties would each Or
ganize precinct, write out lot Of Irish
and Missouri names, deposit batch of
votes and return with heavy democratic
majority" This Is the season of roor-
backs, and we ought not object to early
specimens from Indiana. Our Hoosier
is right in placing Major
Maginnis at the head of the smart
est democrats, but it errs lamenta-
bly, when it even supposes that
there was any need to run in graders or
voting precincts in the solemn
silence of the foothills to elect Mr.. Toole,
who is the only delegate electedsince the
Montana Central was started. In 1885
'lr. Toole carried every county in Mon
ana, except Madison, Silver Bow and
(ellowstone, and in these the adverse
majority was altogether only 1871. Col
mel Broadwater and Major Maginnis
ave always gone in for a free vote and

THE EMPEROR FREDERICK.

The death of the Emperor Frederick
which the telegraph announces took
place this morning in Berlin had been
expected for many months. The bulle-

time to time, but they were followed in

of notice that the imports OF drygoods in TIT hrst

$3.50. 1923 greater than in the two weeks OF 1887
In other words the new year, like 1881 began
with only one dark spot in the country, and that
is the Stock Exchange. To-dny's ranbngs con-
firm our ideas that stock brokers are largely re-
sponsibIe for their lack Of orders.
To-days stock market opened in good form with
q fair degree Of activity and with rising ten
dency, but the activity soon pctered out and
the room-traiers again took possession OF tho
market, that generally all the early advances

the dividend to be paid for the six months ended
