fired hot with the desire to figure in the United
states Senate, fought with especial ferocity to
secure the Legislature. The returns OF one
precinct in Silver Bow County were shame
lessIy fasiiied, and certified to without even
the sembance Of pretence to carry out the
election law. Had those returns been allowed
the Democrats would have had feeble ma
jority of three upon joint ballot in the Legs-
lature, which, with their Governor, would have
been the full measure Of their claims as to the
results of the battle. But the Board of Can
vassers mindful of their oaths, decided that
The returns from this debauched precinct wero
not legal returns and could not be received
This decision left the Republicans with ma
iority Of seven in the House and upon joint
ballet and it is this decision that is being fought
by the Democrats with such desperation.
Honest public sentiment the whole country
over will sustain the Republicans of Montana
in their resolution to defend the ballot-box.
Their fight is for electoral honesty, as well as
for their rights and the peoples will. They
have done Hobly.

TIE LEGISLATURE OF 1890.

The incoming Legislature will contain a
large number of capable and experienced law
mixers. Of the Senators chosen on Tuesday
nearly one-half, Republicans and 6 Demo-
Gratis, were members of the last Senate; were
members of the last Assembly, and of previ-
Gus Legislatures. In other words, all but 8
of the 30 have already been employed in this
branch of the, public service. Not so great
proportion of the Assemblymen-elect have been
sent to Albany before. Still, the number OF
veterans is not small. The returned members
number 48, 26 Republicans and % Democrats
in addition to whom there are IL members who
served in that body previous to 1889.
1t is clear from then figures that if the next
Legislature does not prove useful and trust
worthy at all points, if it fails to meet the best
expectations of the most exacting of its crit
ics the fault will be its own. Most of the
Senators and Assemblymen know what is to
be DONE and know how to do it. They pos
sess between them full and accurate knowl-
edge of the legislation which the people most
desire to have placed on the statute-books, and
they also possess sufficient parliamentary knowl-
edge to stock half dozen Legislatures. Fur
thermore, both the Republican majority and
the Democratic minority can improve upon the
majority and minority of the last session. The
Republican members did, indeed make good
record in 1889, but still they were not so wise
and discreet in their treatment of all the meas
ures coming before them as they might have
been. They would have done better, rs THE
TRIBUNE insisted at the time, if they had re-
sisted the passage of the Normal School appro-
prations and some other clean but unnecessary
measures, and put through three or four bills,
notably the one providing for State care Of
the insane, which were allowed to die The
minority contented itself, for the most part,
with sighting the excellent measures which
originated with the Republicans. As STUN
bling-block in the path Of reform it was a good
deal Of a success. 1t is to be hoped that the
incoming minority will be less partisan and
more public spirited.
1t looks to-day as though the next session of
the Legislature might be short one, without
injustice to any public interest OF course, the
great reform bills-high license and ballot re-
form-will be passed again by the Republicans.
Will the Governor veto them again? Prob
ably. it would be good stroke for the Re-
publicans to send the bills in question to him
promptly, and then pass the appropriation bills
and the rest of the really necessary legislation
of the year and adjourn. Until Hill leaves the
Executive Chair it is idle to hope for the sue
cess of measures which are designed to promote
the public welfare at the expense of the rum
power and the political bosses.

PRACTICAL YORK TO BE EXPECTED.
Ont of one hundred and eight Republican
Congressnlen who have replied to IHE Iklb-
UNE's INQUIRIES, ninety-eight distinctly favor
liberal appropriations to improve the foreign
mail service AS the full Republican strength
in the next House will be about one hundred ana
seventy, there is no reason to doubt about 'ne
decision of caucus, If the question shouiu po
sub omitted whether such a measure should DC
adopted as part Of the Republican party pohcy'
On the other hand, if measure OF that nature
should be submitted to the open House, not as
a feature of party policy, it would certainly re-
ceive the support of many Democrats. III Is
fair TO enppOse also that the arguments IN ltS
favor which have not been extensively as
cussed by the new members as by those WHO
have participated in Congressional action mere
tofore, will influence many OF those from Whoni
no replies have been received.
In re gard to National control Of Congresslon-
al elections the reasoning is much the same
Though only lightweight members have DEM
iteIv committed themselves in favor Of that
course, they are likely to be supported by many
of those who have not replied at ALL and in any
case they constitute majority OF Kepuphcdi
caucus. To all appearance there Will be SUD
stantial unanimty on this question, provided
measure of practical character can be devised
and effectively discussed. One thing will tend
to unite all Republican votes on this subject
namely, that the Democrats are certain for
partisan reasons to resist untedly any step
toward the prevention of the frauds upon which
their party so largely relies.
These matters and the revision Of the tariff
will supply work enough even for long ses-
sion. While one hundred and one Repub licans
have already answered in favor of tariff re-
vision on the lines adopted by the Senate at
its last session, there is still much work to be
done in considering and deciding upon mod
iiicaticns in detail and it is not unlikely that
a large part Of the session may be taken up IN
that labor But it will be the especial duty OF
the majority to show that 1t does not neglect
those business interests of the country which
for six years past have been so sorely neglected
bv Democratic maioriteS.

PETITION AGAINST PROHIBITION

The reaction against Prohibition is one OF
the significant features of the recent elections.
Where it exists public dissatisfaction with 1t
costs the party in power some loss OF votes
Where it does not exist opposition to candidates
who are supposed to favor it has in several in
stances helped the Democrats. And in nearly
all the States where returns give any indication
of the public temper the Prohibition vote has
greatly diminished In New-Jersey it fell OF
about e-half; in Ohio it has apparently de-
creased materially in Iowa dissatisfaction with
the results Of Prohibition was so potent that
Mr. Clarllson considered it the main cause OF
Republican losses, and in Newly ork the re-
turns at present indicate loss of one-third TO
one-half in the Prohibition vote.
These are only surface indications OF that
general movement of public opinion which has
recently defeated Prohibition in many States.
In its earlier days the prOhibitory effort had
the sympathy, in a certain sense, of nearly all
sincere temperance men, because they consid-
cred it an honest effort toward the removal
Of great evil-though not clear in their minds
whether or not it would work well-and were
therefore willing to give it a trial. After the
trial had been made in one or two States there
was still so great conflict of testimony about
the results of Prohibition that good men were
disposed to give it trial in their own States
counties or towns, hoping that it would do good
there But with more numerous tests OF its
practical workings, during longer time and IN
communities of different sorts, evidence has
accumulated that Prohibition does not accom-
plish the good its advocates desire. Of neces-
sity it sacrifices all the restraints and the bene-
fits which may be realized from high-license
system. The consequence has been that the
weight of evidence has produced steady
change Of public opinion adverse to that mode
of dealing with the liquor question. To this
change the impractical, the selfseeking or the
dishonest prohibitory agitators have greatly
contributed, by arraying themselves against
nine-tenths of the voters who were at first in
clined to favor Prohibition

Surprise will certainly be caused by the de-

Iilden will. decision unfolding the will was
rendered by Judge Lawrence more than a year
ago. That decision is now reversed by Judge
Van Brunt, with whom Judge Brady concurs,
while strongly dissenting opinion is written
by Judge Daniels. Beyond doubt there will be
an appeal to the highest court. Without pre-
Stunning to express an opinion on the legal ques-

public calamity if Mr.. Tldens intention to give
this city "a magnificent library is ultimately
defeated. One feature Of the matter is amazing
that two lawyers of such acknowledged learn

will that could run the gantlet Of the Supreme
