The Recent Fire at Helena Worse
in Its Results Than at First Sup
posed.
HELENA, Mont, June 4.-The cor
oner's inquest held on the body of
George Payne, who was killed in the
fire Saturday morning, was concluded
to-day. The jury returned verdict of
accidental death in accordance with the
facts. The jury have reason to believe
that the fire was the work of an in
cendlary and will seek to discover the
guilty ones. The body was buried here
to-day
This afternoon while the work of re-
moving the debris of the stable fire was
gong ON laborerS came across the body
OF man horribly burned and black
ened, one hand being burned completely
on. The body proved to be that of
samuel Blake, an employee of a
wholesale fruit house who had
gone to bed intoxicated in his room
over the stable Oh the night before the
ME. Some now declare that Blake was
heard calling for help during the fire
and that the firemen attempted to res
cue him, but were driven back by the
flames. Blake was twenty-one years
old, and came to Helena from New
York. Little is known of his connec-
lions: An inquest will be held on the
remains tomorrow. This makes the
second body recovered. There is a pos
Sibility that more will be found, as the
lodging house keeper says fifty-eight
men were in bed when the fire broke
out, and he knew all did not escape.
The work of clearing the ruins still goes
on under the supervision of police,

DAKoTA,s DEADLOCK.

Dakota is noted for its lively politics.
There is an impression abroad that if
there is any liveliness in politics any
where, our Dakota friends are going to
get a slice of it. They are keeping up
their reputation at st. Louis. Our dis
patches from that city this morning in
form us that the whole day was spent
by the Dakota delegation yesterday in
vain effort to effect permanent Or
ganiZation. Considering the fact that
there are only two delegates, it is easy
to imagine what lively time they had
of it. Being only two, and both want
ing the same positions, deadlock was
the most natural thing in the world.
Our dispatches don't say so, but the
probabilities are that the only way the
contest VIII be terminated and the dead
lock broken will be by the toss of
a nickel, with heads / win, tails you
lose.

farm wherever he has moved. He went
to Beaver Dam, Wis, from New York,
and lived there two years, land proceeded
from there to st. CrOiX county, WiScon-
sin, where his son resides ON his farm.
In 1878 he came to the town of Ramsey,
Anoka county, Minnesota, where he
settled down and still treads the even
tenor of his way. His early education
was acquired in the primitive log school
house. He remembers distinctly about
the war of 1912. He helped build the
fort at PlattSburg, n. Y, and when the
battle of that name occurred he was
within sound of the musketry. Repub-
lican in politics, but not very enthusi-
aStic, as he has only voted once for a
county officer since he voted for Grant.
He is a carpenter by trade. Last sum-
mer he laid 1900 shingles on his farm
buildings alone. Ten years ago while
threshing the stacks caught fire from
the engine and entailed loss of 500.
He had one escapade when twenty-nine
years of age, with friend named Med
eff, which is worthy of mention. They
started from their old home in Vermont,
Dec. IL, for the Holland purchase, near
Buffalo, y. Y, distance of about 600
miles. When they passed through AL
bany, coming all the way On foot, they
took raft to Pittsburg, Pa, and then
went on the raft down the Ohio to the
Mississippi. They collided with an alli-
gator, and ran their raft ashore on an
island, which ended their voyage.

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

From the National Democratic Platform of
1876.
We denounce the present tariff, levied
upon nearly 1000 articles. as a master
piece of injustice, inequality and false
pretenSe. 1t yields a dwindling, not a
yearly rising revenue. 1t has impov
eriShed many industries to substitute
few. 1t prohibits imports that might
purchase the products of American
labor. 1t has degraded American COM
merce from the first to an inferior rank
on the high seas. 1t has cut down the
sales of American manufactures at home
and abroad, and depleted the returns of
American agriculture-an industry fol-
lowed by half our people. 1t costs the
people five times more than it produces
to the treasury, obStructS the processes
of production and wastes the fruits of
labor. 1t promotes fraud and fosters
smuggling, enriches dishonest officials
and bankrupts honest merchants. We
demand that all custom house taxation
Shall be only for revenue.

1891

fairness to all interests.
Sufficient revenue to pay all the eX-
penSeS of the federal government, eco
nOmically administered, including pen
siOns, interest and principal of the pub
lie debt, can be got under our present
system of taxation, from custom house
taxes on fewer imported articles, bear
ing heaviest on articles of luxury, and
bearing lighteSt on articles of necessity.
We therefore denounce the abuses of
the existing tariff, and, subject to the
preceding limitations, we demand that
federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposes, and shall not exceed
the needs of the government economic
ally administered.
From President Cleveland's Annual Message,
Dec. q.
The simple and plain duty which we
owe the people is to reduce taxation to
the necessary expenses of an econOm-
1cal operation of the government aid to
restore to the business of the country
the money which we hold in the treas
ury through the perversion of govern
mental powers. These things can and
should be done with safety to all our
industries, without danger to the OPP

Our WOTkingmen need, and with benefit
to them all and all our people, by cheap

THURMAN'S TRIUMPH.

The THURMAN boom is marching on.
The red bandana hangs on the outer
wall at st. Louis, and the gathering
clans are marshaling under its ample
folds. 1t is a proud day for the old
Roman.
1t looked like rubbing it in a little
hard when the Tammany hall delega-
ton stopped at Gov. GRAY's home yes
terday and held THURMAN jollifica-
ton meeting. But the THURMAN tide
has set in, and thereiis no telling where
it is going to stop. 1t is already out of
banks and overlooking the country, and
the indications are that all the little
ce-presidential boomlets will be swept
away in the flood.
This wonderful demonstration in
honor of the grand old statesman is
popular reaction which augurs well for
the republic. The mass of the people
have waited long and patiently for an
opportunity to rebuke the monopolies
for striking THURMAN down. Their
opportunity has come. His age and III
frmities make no difference to them.
He is still alive to witness the great
salvation of the American people from
monopoly rule, and that is enough.

AN ACE IN HIS SLEEVE,
The Tricks of ''Dupely" Dodge,
Famous Gambler Who Has just
CaShed In.

Inc IrickS OF Dupely" Dodge,
Famous Gambler Who Has just
Cashed In.
There died in Syracuse last week a
man whose fame as a gambler once
spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Henry r, better known as ''Dupely''
Dodge, was born in Onondaga county,
Nov. 3, 1872. He never liked farm
work, and while still young ran
away to Rochester. He wandered
ABOUT the country for num-
per or years, and in 1886 ''got it
Into his head that he could play cards."
lie won all the money he could in SYRIA
cuse, and went to Chicago. Then after
gambling for time he embarked in the
show business. He was fast friend of
Charley Backus, the minstrel. He man
aged Charley Perkins, a Rochester
sport, when he was giving exhibitions
OF the manly art. Poker, Dodge said,
was the only gentleman's game. He
was proud to say that his associates
all through his career had been
gentlemen and scholars" He could
call by name hundreds of men with
whom he had sat at the card table and
VINO IN their day were prominent in the
councils OF the nation. Naturally
enough, he learned many of the wiles
practlced by the cheats and tricksters,
put he never thought of making them a
part OF his outfit. His knowledge, how
oDeI' served MIN In good stead when, as
often happened, he ran up against
sharper by whom he would often be
mistaken for a country minister or a
farmer just ready to be plucked.
Say, stranger" one of these .ssmart
Alecks," who had confederate with
him, once said to Mr.. Dodge on a Mis-
slsSlppi steamboat, '.just help me out
with a hand. Your church will never
KNOW it, and a few lessons in the game
will never hurt your SOUL"
They were deceived by his sanctimo-
NOUS air, and evidently mistook him for
a Methodist preacher. ''Dupely" made
some inquiries about the game, and
then took a seat at the table just
to 'oblige' them. Pretty soon the
smart ;Aleck" began putting up
the cards on the Notwithstanding
stranger, and Mr.. Dodge, noticing it,
quietly slowed away an ace in his sleeve
and awaited developments. He always
liked to catch sharper in his own trap.
AT the proper time the man who had
proposed the game dealt "Dupely'
three aces, and took four kings unto
himself. The betting was steep, and
the sharper was led to the end of his
rope.
"What have you got?" he asked, as
he threw down his four kings.
-Four aces" was ''Dupely's" plea of
You have, have you, you priestly
cripple; and you have my money,
haven't you?"

the old sport as he took the wad and put
it out of sight.

For even as strong a partisan as Mr..
CARNEGIE cannot have failed to recog-
nize the fact that the low tariff senti-
ment prevailing among Republicans is
vastly more widespread than the high
tariff, monopolistic sentiment is amongst
Democrats.
Therefore, in the nature of things,
the detection from the Democratic party
would be more than Offset by the acces-
sions from the Republican party, and
the reasoning Of Mr.. CARNEGIE would
come to naught. That, by the way, is
generally the outcome of all reasoning
which has the high tariff as a basis.
The premises being false. the conclu-
sions must logically be equally untrust-
worthy.

still waters and green pastures of Grant
county, and was ready yesterday to talk
politics or anything else. ''The opposi-
ton to the alliance" he said, '.arises
from the fact that it tends to heal the
destroy party lines. All through the
state you'll find that nine out of every
ten Republicans are opposed to raising
a surplus by means of tariff, and the
Democratic party declares in favor of
tariff for revenue only. The bitterest
enemies of the alliance are the high
protective tariff men, who don't want to
see the farmers getting into a habit of
thinking for themselves on this topic.
The alliance would open the farmers
eyes to their own interests, and that is
just what their enemies do not want to
have happen"

mot the GLoBEl is boasting of its great

largely the result of systematic writ

legitimate newspaper circulation. The
