POLITICS THE CAUSE.
Frank 0raver, Carpenter, Shot and
Fatally Wounded by a Woman Of Ill
Repute at Anaconda.

ANACONDA, Dec. ga pistol shot in a
notorious section of this city startled the
inhabitants close on to mid night Sunday
night. The report came from the house
of Rose Bennett, a woman of i'll repute
who stood in the door as the officers
entered with a pistol smoking in her
hand. On the floor Of her parlor lay
Frank Graver, a young carpenter, in a
pool of blood, who received bullet
wound in the abdomen. He was re-
moved to his home, and after great suf.
fering, died at 8 O'Clock. The circum-
stances, as near as can be learned, are
that the deceased and companion
entered the house about 10 o'clock.
After drinking some of the men engaged
in discussion on the late election. The
politics of Rhode Island drew forth an
animated debate, and to settle the mat.
ter bet of ten dollars was made between
the woman and Graver. To decide the
bet some person was sent down to look
up Ahlothiutioh oh thC 4ucstiohi WHNN
resulted in it being decided against her.
She refused to pay the $40. and after a
lively interchange of words she drew a
revolver and fired, with the result as
stated above. Graver is . single man
and comes from Wisconsin. 1t is said
that this was his arst visit to 8 place Of
this character in this city. He was al
ways highly spoken Of and usually Of a
quiet disposition.
The coroner's jury Tuesday morning
held an inquest on the body Of Frank H.
Graver. 1t returned verdict Of death
from pistol shot in the hands Of Rose
Bennett, withou, cause or provocation.
A preliminary examination was held be.
fore Justice Fitzpatrick Tuesday and the
prisoner waived examination. Two wit.
nssses, Frank Hadley and Maud Leonard
who were present at the shooting, wers
put under bonds Of $3.50 each to appear
before the grsnd jury. The prisoner
was committed to Jail at Deer Lodge
where she will remain until the prant
Jury meets next May.

ADMISSION MATTERS.

The only objection, vet apparent in
the constitution of Montana, which bids
soon to become state, is the megre pro-
visions made for salaries. 1t is to be
hoped that the constitution will be
adopted as il now stands, aud this salary
provision adjusted hereafter. Montana
should ray her officers we'll, not extrav-
agan'ly, Iut literally, or she will be
troubled with defaulters, or else the of
fees will 20 to men, whoa are rich enough
without them, who are prompted only
by improper motives. One reason why
the present constitution should be adopt
ed Is because it was made at the time, 80
far in advance of statehood, that the
larger corporations at that time took no
interest in the matter and consequently
did not have Il hand in shaping this
document. 1t is doubtful whether they
would be 80 supinely quiet, was another
constitutional convention called. We
apprehend that the railroads would take
a hand in the matter and at least secure
the adoption Of clause taxing only
their gross earnings, such as now prevails
In Dakota, where the railroads are only
partially taxed. The majority of Mon
tanians are perfectly satisfied with the
constitution Of Montana, the work Of
good men and true and we earnestly hope
that it will be adopted without amend.

NIcLE wishes to express the hope that
Montana will at once hold mass meet

the representatives from each OF the tor
rltories including New Mexico, that this
matter may be thoroughly talked ever
and intelligently presented to the
Fiftieth Congress, which now seems to
be desirous Of admitting the territories.
President Harrison, has no doubt, ex.

matter brought 10 him in this manner,

admitting Dakota rs one state, while 90
many politicians are sn hungry for offiee,

say. and it ia safe to predict that II

public opinion would be decidedly against
its division in year from now. This is

THE ANACONDA SITUATION.

By far the most serious news that has
reached us this week comes from the
west side Of this territory. During the
first part Of the week, twenty seven rail.
road engineers suddenly stopped work
ON the Montana Union Railway, the road
which furnishes fuel and and supplies to
the camps of Butte aud Anaconda,
and for three days refused to return to
work for causes which wero of trifling
import. This necessitated the temporary
closing down of the great rmelters of
Anaconda, which consumes coal as fast
as it can be brought to it. II was at once
announced on the word Of the president
OF the company that the works would
rAmain closed until next May Since
t IN, hCwever. special correspondents,
while unable to get an interview with
the local manager Of the works, assert
that the shutdown will only be for few
days. Time will only tell who is correct.
In the mean time it can be easily seen
that the trouble has been greatly det-
rimental to Anaconda and Butte, where
the tide Of traffic has been considerably
affected owing to the uncertainty Of fut.
ure events. In our opinion, 1t will be
several weeks at least. before tho mills
resume work to their full capacity. Tho
s.areity of coal is the leading cause Of
this state ofaffairs; assuring us that the
Bozeman coal nelds must be connected
with Butte aad Anaconda by railroad ss
soon as possible, and yet. we sincerely
regret that these two cities, 40 closely
identified with us, should be injuriously
affected. even in slight degree. We
hope that way will at once he found to

Tho Name OF Gladstone,

IT saw Mr. Gladstone once at a gar
den party, where he was lionized to an
extent that is unknown in America"
writes Blakely Hall in tho New York
Sun. Everywhere he went droves Of
people followed him. When he began
a conversation with any one, all the sur
rounding crowd stretched forward as if
their lives depended upon hearing every
word he uttered. In power or out, up
or down, successful or unsuccessful,
Gladstone is tho ono prominent and
majestic figure among his countrymen
to-day. To say that he is the foremost
man in England is to put it very mildly.
He is OF SO much importance that the
mention of Gladstone's name among q
group of sombre Britons in railroad
carriage, smoking room, or club in any
part of the kingdom, will set the crowd
aror In fashion wonderful to behold.
The name is a flaming menace and a
terror to stupidity and silence. have
often amused myself, when travelling
through England, by simply utteriug
his name and observing the results. It
was enough to set the most taciturn of
fellow travellers in transport Of volu-
bility; and the result was always long

close by violent attacks on the grand
old man, stigmatizing him as every
thing that was vile and treacherous. or
