A DEATH WITH A MORAL.

There is moral in the life and death of
Jacob Sharp, the bribe-giver. 1t is we'll to
be honest. Sharp was an old man. He
had been in business many years, and was
known as good business man and honest in
trade. He had amassed a large fortune.
But be took hand in ward politics in New
York, aud like many others, adopted the
error that 'severything is fair in politics" F"
and "that it is no wrong to rob Govern
ment." BE became the chief bribe giver in
purchase of the New York Broadway rail-
road franchise. He was caught at it, prose-
cuted, convicted and only kept out Of the
penitentiary by the efforts of the ablest law
yers, the certificates of physicians that he
was dying, al d sympathy that could not be
suppressed for bis innocent wife and chill
dren. A few days ago be died-to all in
tents and purposes felon. His death was
denied, the time of his funeral lied about,
and his body was finally sneaked eff in the
night to be buried in silence, alone and in
shame. It is better to be honest, though
poor. 1t is as wrong to rob city or nation
as man. Trickery, deceit, dirt, dishonesty
and lies are no fairer in politics than in bus
iness or religion. There are no side lines or
switches to the main track Of honesty. The
grave of Jacob Sharp is the shrine of shame.
While he was only one who happened to get
caught at it, while many escaped, the possi-
bility hangs over the heads of all who sin.
It is lesson to all, old and young. Let
your life be such that neither man nor Al
mighty can find the stain of dishonesty upon
you. "A good name is better than great
riches.''

To Enlarge the National Park.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-For the third
time the Senate has passed bill for the en-
largement Of the Yellowstone National
Park and the protection of the forests, game
and natural wonders within its limits. I'm
der this bill lis northern boundary is made
to coincide with the boundary of Wyoming
and Montana, and the western boundary to
coincide with that between Wyoming and
Idaho and Montana. The southern boundary
is extended to the forty fourth parallel of
latitude, distance of nine and one half
miles, and the eastern boundary is carried
to the meridian of 100 degrees, 30 minutes,
adding strip of territory twenty-five miles
in width. The entire area added to the
Park is $500 square miles.
This proposed addition abounds in large
streams and lakes, the sources of the Colum.
bia and Yellowstone, the waters running to
both oceans. For the preservation of the
water in this natural reservoir the dense
timber which covers the region is of i'm
mense value, and Senators believe that the
best way to prevent its destruction is to in
clude it within the Park. The added comm
try includes favorise resorts of deer, elk,
bears and mountain sheep, while the present
limits of the Park are much too small for
satisfactory large game reserve. The bill
provides for tho administration of Justice
within the Park, and fixes proper penalties
for offenses, thus curing serious defect in
the present law governing the reserve. A
local magistrate is to live within the Park
to try all violations of rules made for ito
preservation. 1ndictable offenses are to he
tried in the Wyoming courts.

NEXT Tuesday, the 18th, will be Arbor
Day. Although the spring is little back
ward, no better time could be chosen for
setting out native shade trees, and we trust
that every one who has piece Of ground
will plant one or more trees on that day.
The custom once established, others will
emulate those who take the lead, and pres.
emily it will be q festal day whose blessed.
ness will continue forever. Plant one tree,
or 3 shrub, if you can do no more nurture
it for time and it will repay you thousand
fold with its shade, its beauty or Its fruitaee.
If you have opportunity, plant more. Break
the blank monotony about your homes with
their ever changing delight. A cabin en-
bowered in trees and covered with vines is
more beautiful than stately house without
them. Plant trees for shelter, shade and
brake, but especially about your homes. Do
it next Tuesday, and each recurring year the
love of them will grow upon you and do
you good. Let Arbor Day be one Of general
Observance in Montana. ..-.
