Senator Reagan has introduced a bill
to prevent the formation of trusts. 1t
defines a trust to be "the combination of
capital or skill by two or more persons
for the following purposes First, TO
create or carry out restrictions OH trade |;
Second, to limit, reduce, or to increase
the production or prices of merchandise
or commodities; Third, to prevent com.
petition in manufacturing making sales or
purchase o~fmerchandlse or commodities;
Fourth, to create a monopoly" John
Sherman thinks that Congress has no
constitutional power to pass such a law.
If Sherman is right, the sooner the con-
stitution is amended the better, but l
don't believe he's right. If Congress
had power to make the Interstate Com
merce law, it has power to prohibit
trnsts.

The crowd at the Helena Fairlast week
was never so large at any previous meet
ing. This no doubt was caused by the
fact that the weather was fine and the
mean Of transporting tire people from
the town to the track better than it has
ever been. The ~encampment, drew a
large crowd and was an Important at
traction. The racing was far better than
it has ever been and the money made
by the association far in excess of former
years. Helena can point with pride to
the record it has made this year in th is
particular and as far as we are concerned
is entitled to all the benefit it has de-
rived from its enterprise. If people are
anxious once a year to find a place where
they can reduce the is surplus, Helena has
claims for such a position, unequalled by
any other town in the territory,

The Art OF


We have for many years
studied the art of advertising,
and still it remains to us a mar
vel that there is not one humid
red times more OF it. We never
yet knew a man to advertise
his wares literally and steadily
that it did not pay. Yet, there
are thousands of men having
articles that they declare ought
to be "in every household in the
co1ntry," who advertise as GIN
gerly and closely as though
they had no heart, no faith in
it at all. How can they expect
to get their goods everywhere
unless some knowledge of the
articles gets into the family first
through the family paper? If
we waited till people learned
from their neighbors, we might
wait for years before the most
wonderful inventions become
~known.-Forney's Press.

vogel's Ride,

Up from Camp Sheridan at break of day,
Came to Helena with fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore
Like q herald in haste to each cottage
door,
The terrible grumble and rumble and
%"roar,"
~Telling,the "grub"couldb be eaten no more,
And Helena two and one halfmiles away.
And wider still those pillows of war
Thundered along the horizen's bar,
And louder yet into Helena rolled.
The roar of troops uncontrolled,
Making the blood of the listner cold
As he thought of the stake in that fiery
fray,
With Sheridan two and one half miles
away.
But there's a road from Helena town,
A good, broad, highway leading down,
And there, thro' the fash of the morn
ing light,
A steed as black as the steeds of night
Was seen to pass ss with eagle flight;
Asif he knew the terrible need,
He stretched away with the utmost
speed;
Hills rose and fell-buthis heart was gay,
With Sheridan only two miles away.
Under his %spurning feet the road
Like an arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And the brewery faded away behind,
Like an ocean vessel before the wind !;
And the steed, like a bark fed with fur
mace fire,
Swept on with his wild eyes full of fire
But 10! he is nearing his hearts desire,
Hejs %snufing the smoke of the morning
fray, a
With Sheridan only one mile away.
The first that Yoqel saw were the groups
OF stragglers, and then the retrsating
troops
What wsa done-what to do--a glance
told him both.
And, sticking his spurs, with a terrible
oath
He dashed down the lines mid a storm
of hurrahs,
And the wave Of retreat checked its
course there because
The sight of bologna compelled it to
pause.
With foam and with dust the black
charger was gray;
BY the fash OF his eyes and his nostrils
play
seemed to the whole great army to
say
Il have brought you Vogel all this way
Helena town to ave the day"
.urrah hurrah !! tor VogelI
Hurrahl hurrah for horse and mani
And when their statues are placed on
high,
Under the dome of the Montana sky
The Montana mllitiaman,s temple of
fame
There, with Serg. Vugel's g%iarious name.
Be it said, in letters of endelring love;
Here is the steed that saved the day
BY carrying Vogel with his grub,
'rom Helena two and one half miles
away"

A person from Three Forks contributes
a letter to the Montana Register which
is about as far off as it can well be-. He
insinuates that D. P. McElwee is the
author of the singing and unanswerable
letter in the CHRONICLE a few weeks
since, which exposed the Vaccinations
of the wire puliers in the Prohibition
convention and denounced in no uncer-
tain language the ministers of the Cos pei
who have dropped their legitimate
Christian calling of saving souls to take
up politics. The writer of this screed
will have to guess again.

q CONVENTIONS

The time for holding the county con
ventions and the primaries in this county
have been eet BY the the Democratic
Central Committee and it is now time
for those who take an interest in politics.
and all good citizens should do SO, when
their party merits it. to canvass their
districts and find out who are entitled to
the honor of oficc-holding. Owing to
the fact that tiallatin is now asmall, COM
pact county. ii has been deemed advisa-
BILE, and we think, properly SO, to hold
two conventions this year. One to select
delegates to the Butte convention and
one to select delegates to the convention
which will nominate the various county
officers. In the first it will be necessary
to send intelligent men who will 60 to
Butte for the purpose of obtaining a re-
eognition for this side of the territory,
known as the east side and to see to it
that a man is nominated for the office of
delegate to Congress, who will carry the
entire strength Of his party this fall. The
second convention will come at a time
when our farmers can, If they are co.
minded, devote a day to the selection of
the very best men available for the
county officers. There crops will have
been garnered, and no good excuse can
be offered for their non-attendance at
the primaries Of the various precincts to
select men whom they can rely upon and
who will do the very best for the party.
OF course it will be necessary for the
farmers to cast around in their districts
for available men for their choice for the
offices This they should do now, If
they have not followed the CHRONICLES
oft-repeated advice and done so long ago.
If by any mes ms the farmers are not
this fall, they will have no
one but them selves to blame. They
have the matter in their own hands.

than at a time when the Fair is running.

Senator Beck wants to abolish the
Treasury sinking fund. He says there
is enough money lying idle In the Treas
ury to-day to pay off every n of the
four and a half per cent bonds without
any embarrassment to the Government.
The requirement of a sinking fund,
which had been a fraud for ten years,
was designed simplyto maintain taxes.
The sinking fund was maintained for no
other purpose than to keep up taxes and
to put money in the pockets of bondhol-
ders by enabling them TO combine to-
gether. They had already within five
months) put up the price of bonds 5 per
cent, and they would put it up so per
cent within a year unless the sinking
fund laws were repealed. Mr. Beck has
introduced an amendment to the House
tariff bill. suspending all the laws relat.
ing to the sinking fund. He has also in.
troduced a bill to repeal these laws.

Some of the Rnpubllcan politicians of

Some of the Republican politicians Of
this city are whining about the two De-
mocratic county conventions. They
profess to see a "nigger in the'wood pile"
and are urging the Democrats to have
only one convention and to set that at a
day prior to the date of the Republican
convention. The Republicans, we have
maintained, and every utterance they
make, bears us out in the assertion, ex-
pect to receive material benefits from
their Republican Prohibition friends and
they desire to wait just as long as posi-
bic before showing their hands. From a
financial point of view the CHRONICLES
should not advocate a shorter campaign
than would be required if delegates to
Butte and county officers were nominated
at the same time; but we must take in
to consideration that Gallatin county is
now small, compact and can be more
easily stumped than heretofore. Again,
if we were ~apologizing for the actions Of
the Democratic Central Committee, we
would say that tho farmers are at this
time very Lusy with their grain and will
be when the first convention is held.
They would not be able to give the
primaries and the convention the atten-
ton their Importance deserves.
