THE LOCAL VOTE.

Great Falls Stands Nobly by Clark and
the County Ticket.
The counting of the vote on the leglsla-
tive and county ticket is still incomplete.
It is estimated that the democrats have
elected both with the exception of Down
ing. There was considerable scratching.
Great Falls has stood nobly by CLARK.
and the democratic county ticket. The
count Oh delegate which has just been con-
cluded shows that Clark received here
SOB votes and Carter 456.
Kibbey and Gorham have gone demo
cratic.
In Cascade the vote stood Clark 56,
Carter 81.
At Sand Coulee 7s votes were cast, OF
which Clark received 43 and Carter 35.
Except Downing the entire democratic
ticket is ahead in this precinct.

Wheat continues high. In Chicago on
Thursday last wheat for May delivery
closed at $1.161a. In Minneapolis on the
same day, No. hard wheat sold for cash
at $1.23. In Milwaukee cash wheat was
$1.07A. Iii Fargo, No. hard sold for
$1.06. On Saturday May wheat had fall
en- in Chicago to $1.111s, but the cereal is
likely at any moment to advance. This
year the bulls are in full control.

A HEAVY vovE.

Great Falls Turns Out in Great Force at
the Polls.
The latest report from the city polls is
that about 900 votes have been polled.
Clark's majority is estimated at over 200.
The democratic county ticket has probao-
ly the same majority. Downing has
however polled heavy vote and may be
far ahead Of the republican ticket.

say that although wheat keeps going up
flour is unstable, and there Is no other
alternative than to stop grinding until
there is a change in the relative positions
of wheat and flour. The flour market
continues very dull, with millers inclined
to ask more to offset the advance in
wheat. Offers range little higher than
a week ago.

Those most interested in San Pedro
harbor must do something to hold
business there. At one time the
HERALD was disposed to look upon
this as OF vital Importance to this
section. 1t does not appear to be so
absolutely necessary to our we'll being
as it once seemed. There are several
other propositions which, when car
ried into execution, will give Los An
geles ample harbor facilities. De-
spite all the skepticism of those
who will not see, the day is
near at hand when ship
and car will be brought safely to-
gether at Santa Monica, at Redondo
Beach and Los Alamitos. Still better
than all these places is Old San Pedro
better of its advantages are all utilized
by properly improving them. But
those in interest have let San Diego
take large part of our business from
our doors for the time being. This
is being seen, and it is seen to be
quite time to do something, and in a
vigorous manner to save our COM
merce.

w. G. GoUDY is a Chicagoan. He
is a lawyer and has the reputation of
being able in his profession. On a
recent occasion at banquet in that
city Mr. Goudy delivered an address
on newspapers, in which he devel-
oped theory in regard to journalism.
That is his views are mere theory
in America, although prevalent in
France. He wants all writer's to be
obliged to append their name to all
articles written by them for the press,
the name to appear with the article.
Mr.. Goudy thinks this plan would
fix responsibility SO absolutely that
the press would be forced to a
more conservative policy in its treat
ment OF persons. Mr.. Goudy simply
reveals his utter lack of profound
thought on a profession of whose
workings he is ignorant. In any com
m unity it is generally easy enough to
learn who writes any given article.
But the individual is sunk in the col
umns of a properly conducted news
paper. On all the large dailies every
article passes for revision under the
eyes Of some responsible person. This
editor or manager is supposed to be
we'll acquainted with the policy
of the paper on any given
point, and it is his duty
to mold all the matter into conformity
with these established principles.
This is what gives paper power. The
views expressed do not emanat9 from
any individual. They are not tinged
with the personal feelings of any one.
They rise toahigher plane of public pol
icy. The true newspaper man may be
obliged to bitterly antagonize the views
of his friend. He may feel it obliga-
tory to bestow praise on the man he
most dislikes. 1t is a low and un-
worthy use to put a newspaper to
when the individual writer allows his
personal spites to creep into
his public utterances, and it is
as debased a use Of great power to
allow personal interest to be the
guide OF pa per in any controversy.
The impersonal policy of journal is
its strength.

LOS ANGELES STREET.
A Stay of Proceedings Asked by
Mrs. BigclOyV.

An affidavit for stay OF proceed
ings in the case of the city against
Mrs. L. Nj. Bigelow was filed in Judge
o, ,Melveny's court yesterday. This
case was brought for the condemna-
ton OF land for the purpose of open
ing Los Angeles street, but it was
agreed between both parties that the
land might be taken on the payment
OF $4,000 to Mrs. Bigelow. When
Mrs. Bigelow went to collect the money
it was found that there was about
$4,000 short, and because she has not
received this she asks stay of pro-
ceedings. The plaintiffs claim that
only $4,000 in cash was to be paid over,
the other $4,000 being reserved as
payment on other property OF Mrs.
Bigelow assessed for opening Los
Angeles street. The work of opening
this street had progressed very rap
idly up to Mrs. Bigelow 3 property
when the stay of proceedings was
asked.

SENATOR SHERMAN, in his recent
speech, said that "nine-tenths of the
manufactured commodities used by
American farmers are as cheap in this
country as they are in England and
in some cases cheaper" Senator
Sherman in making such statement
fully justified Senator Voorhees,
retort that the Republican party had
set out on campaign OF bare-faced
mendacity. The Ohio statesman will
find it most difficult to get facts to
bear out this glittering generality.
He would have to leave out woolen
fabrics and manufactures of iron.
These two alone probably will upset
the statement.

Senator Stewart is from a mining

condition of the cirulating medium
initiates the figures in direct ratio.
North America last year produced
over 500, 900, 900 in precious metals.
The Pacific coast for 40 years has
been producing at the rate Of $780,
100000 TO 500, 100000 of these cur

enormous sums Of the same. The
past few decades have put more gold
and silver in circulation in the world
than ten times as many centuries did
before.
America is a young country. She
is receiving half million immigrants

1t will be cheering news for our cit
izens to learn that company, already
organized, are preparing to build a
large iron pier just beyond Dead
Mans Island, something similar to
those in use at Coney Island, New
York. 1t is said that it will be a
double-decker, and will be built far
enough out into the ocean to allow the
largest steamers to land alongside and
discharge passengers and freight. It
will be a substantial and costly struc-
ture, and will be of incalculable ad-
vantage to this port. Its construction
will be commenced about the first of
March and pushed to rapid compile

1t is always very problematic, what
our esteemed neighbor means. In

to what the alleged hostility is aimed
at-whether the merchant marine or
the regular navy. Ii our esteemed

Mr.. Humphreys has sent US the fol-

Mr.. HUMPHREYS has sent us the fol-
lowing criticism:
The HERALD, in its issue of January
18th, in a lengthy article, concluded
that the city cannot "swap," legally,
the present city hall, on Second street,
in part payment for the St. Vincent
lot; but in its issue of the 18th, on
finding that the 1870 feet on Fort street
is too small, it says that that property
can be swapped for the Synagogue 20
foot lot adjoining the 1SO-foot new city
hall lot. Question-Is this consistant? :?
j. F. H.
Mr.. Humphreys has evidently not
read our article of the 18th care
fully. We proposed no "swap. :"
We suggested that the Second
street property could be sold, and
that the Synagogue lot could be
purchased for about one-half the
money the Second street property
would fetch. The presumption is that
the present city hall will be sold by
the city when the new structure on
Fort street is built. That be-
ing the case, if it is found
to be desirable to have more
space on the Fort street site, there
would be no difficulty in selling the
Second street property, and from a
portion OF the money derived from
that sale purchasing the seventy feet
OF ground adjoining the new city hall
site. There is none of the elements
OF "swap" in that. 1t constitutes
two clear-cut transactions sale and
purchase; and that too with sure
surplus left in the treasury at the
end, instead of a deficit to be made
up from the taxes Of the people.
