On the Whole Shell.


Representative White, of Illinois, who
arose to question of privilege last spring
to deny the printed report that he had
drank water from finger bowl at fash
ionable dinner, is again reported in a
protesting mood. While attending the
chicago exposition few days ago he
stolled into fashionable restaurant and
called for oysters. He did not designate
the style of service further than to indi-
cate that he wanted them raw. They
were brought to him on the half shell.
looking at them with puzzled air he
wanted to know how they were fixed.
''On the half shell, SIR" said the waiter.
"Take them back, then" SAID the legis-
lator. II pay full prices and want full
measure. Bring me the whole shell or
nothing. st Louis Republic.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-Secretary Win
dom's report has appeared and is causing
much discussion. His suggestion that
silver certificates be issued on the basis
of silver bullion is regarded as startling
by the upholders Of gold coinage, but
does not meet with hearty approval from
the friends of silver, who distrust the
good will of the secretary.

Bright Prospects for the New Town-T
e. Collins Buys an Interest and
| Will Build a Residence.
One OF the most slightly additions to
this city yet plated is the tract Of land
owned by Or. Crutcher on the west side,
recently filed and approved by the coun-
ty fathers. 1t lies on gently sloping
hill, the same distance from the Park
hotel as the school house. Hon. Robert
s. Ford has recently purchased a large
interest in the "West Great Falls" plat
and will erect splendid residence upon
selected lots there.
Now comes another surprise in the an
nouncement that Hon. 7. E. Collins, pres
ident Of the First National Bank, has
purchased an undivided SKIS sixteenth
interest in the townsite for $4,000, and
has given bond to Dr. Crutcher, the own
er, in the sum Of $4,000 to build and
occupy residence to cost not less than
$4,000.
1t is the intention of the three owners,
Nessrs Crutcher, Ford and Collins, to at
once place the townsite on the market
and to endeavor to make this elegant site
the location of the finest residences To
facilitate the proper transfer Of property,
Mr.. 3. $. McCord has been made trustee
Of the townsite and is empowered to
made deeds and contracts. ~
Considerable work in grading the wide
streets, planting trees and other i'm
provements will be done early in the
spring.
Considering the eligibility of location
and comparatively low price for lots
ranging from one dollar to twelve dollars
per front foot-a rapid growth may con
fidently be expected in West Great Falls

Prize Paid,

Mr.. F. J. Carlyle, one of the proprie.
tors of the Delmonico hotel, WaIla Walla
Washington, has just received $4,000 by
express from New Orleans, being one
~ ~ H.. .,,ng for October in the Louis
lana State Lottery. Mr.. Carlyle is much
pleased over the result. A few days be-
fore the drawing took place he tried to
dispose of his tickets, 63,856 among them,
but without success Now he is glad he
did not. Something very peculiar and
very interesting attended the success of
Mr.. Carlyle. A short time ago he anG
Mr.. Marshall, bookkeeper for Schwa-
bacher Bros, entered into a compact that
if one was ever so lucky as to draw the
capital prize, he would give the
other 10 per cent of his draw
ing. As soon as he received
his money, Mr.. Carlyle hunted up Mr.
Marshall and counted out $1,000 to the
surprised gentleman. He had forgotten
about the agreement but Mr.. Carlyle had
not. The Louisiana State Lottery thus
scatters its money throughout the country
among all classes Of citizens. This insti
aution is perfectly reliable, and those with
the most conscientious scruples can in
vest in it. 1t is merely one form Of spec
ulation. Mr.. Carlyle has frequently in
vested before and now he is largely re-
paid for his investment. The Walla
Wallans are very much pleased with the
honorable way In which the company
treated their fellow citizen.
Parents should be careful that their
children do not contract colds during the
fall or early winter months. Such colds
weakens the lungs and air passages,
making the child much more likely to
contract other colds during the winter.
1t is this succession of colds that causes
catarrh and bronchitis or paves the way
for consumption. Should cold be con
tracted, loose no time but cure it as
quickly as possible. A fifty cent bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will
cure any cold in a few days and leave the
respiratory organs strong and healthy

Where Women May Vote.

The converting Of the twenty-irst annual
session Of the National Woman Suffrage
Association in Washington tue other day
calls attention to the feet that woman suf-
frage has not gained very strong foOthod
in this country. 1t is true that it has many
advocates, particularly in the north, among
women, and that its advocates among the
men seem to be increasing in number, but
there are very few states in which women
may vote, and where they have the privi-
lege it is only in elections of minor import
ance.
In Kansas they may vote in municipal
elections, and in Boston, Mass, they are al
lowed to vote for school officers. Until a
very recent election, however, they had not
awaited themselves Of the privilege very ex-
tensivey in that city, but few weeks ago
some 10000 Of them went to the
polls and controlled the election.
In Texas, though they cannot vote
they have a voice in the selection Of
school officers, these officers being appointed
by the county judges on petitions, and the
women being allowed to sign the petitions
In Wyoming Territory they may vote at
ali SleCblOus.
Outside of this country the privilege has
been extended to them more generally
Unmarried women may vote in nearly all
elections in Ontario, and in England, Scot
land and Wales they may vote for all
elective officers except members of parlia-
ment In Ireland they may vote for few
minor officers, and in Sweden their votes
are counted in nearly all elections. In
Russia women who are the heads Of families
may vote in all elections, and in Austria
Hungary their privilege is the same, except
that they must vote by proxy. Widows
are allowed to vote for members Of parlia-
ment in Italy, and in Russian Asia, where
ever there is a Russian colony, women have
the right of suffrage Woman municipal
suffrage exists in New Zealand, Victoria,
New South Wales and South Australia aud
there are various degrees of woman suffrage
in Iceland and Sicily and on large num-
Der of islands.
The area IN which the right to vote l. &C
corded to women covers over IA 200, 900
square miles and contai IS nearly 800, 900, 0OJ
inhabitants-an area nearly as great as thai
of North and South America combined,
and population nearly equal to that of all

The North to Be Invaded.

The inducements the south offers to people
/ seeking homes or chances for investing their
money advantageously are not fully APP
/ preciated in the north. Many northern
| immigrants have settled in the southern
states and great deal Of northern capital
has been invested in them. but they would
have attracted more immigrants and more
capital If they had advertised their ad-
vantages more literally. At the recent i'm
migration convention in Montgomery. Ala,
this subject was carefully considered by
delegates from every southern state, and
one Of the results was the appointment of
a southern interstate immigration bureau,
which afterward decided to hold an ex-
position of sout FERN products this year in an
eastern city, and one in a northwestern city,
rs one of the best ways of directing more
general attention to he south's advantages
and to her d esire to have northern immi-
grants and capitalists avail themselves Of
them
To this end, Messrs. Logan B. Root, Of
Arkansas, and John F. Patrick, of
North Carolina, were authorized by
the bureau to secure places in which
gentlemen are about to visit the east and
the northwest for that purpose. Their mis-
on is attracting considerable attention in
the north, and the probability is that there
will be several cities in each section that
will offer inducements to secure the expo
sitons. Tue enteTprising eastern aud north
western cities appreciate the good that
would result TO them from the expostions.
They know that thousands of southern peo-
pie. among whom would be many business
men, would visit the exposition, AID that
an opportunity would be offered of increas-
nc their southern trade.
The plan adopted by the bureau is an ex-
cellent ose, and If it should be carried out,
and il the south's resources should be prop
erly represented, the benefit to her would
be very great. Her advantages need only
to be known fully to be appreciated, and
there is no better way of making them
known than By invading the north with the
products of our soil, mines, forests and
mills. The exhibit cars sent north last year
by Georgia and other southern states were
a step in this direction, and the proposed
expositions would be continuance, on a
much larger scale, Of that undertaking.
The fact that they have been proposed is an
indication that the south is aroused to the
Importance of making greater efforts for
her material development.

If the position taken by Gen. Harrison in
his letter of acceptance, in favor Of civil
service reform was sincere, and if he should
attempt to maintain that position through
his administration, his official life would
not be n very pleasant one. He would be
opposed to every step in that reform. The
Republican party never was civil service
reform party, and it is not to-day, although
some members of it have repudiated the
spoils system. 1t held the offices for so long
time that it began to think they were ere
ated for republicans, and Gen. Harrison, Us
soon as he is inaugurated, will be confronted
with a determined effort to have every
democratic office-holder retired in order that
room may be made for republicans
The fight for the offices will be encouraged
by the republican leaders generally. Some
OF them have advocated civil service re-
form at various times, but as soon as they
have opportunity to put their theories into
practice, it will be found that the majority
of them have been talking for buacombe,
and that they believe that any reform which
works to keep republicans out of Office is a
very poor sort of one
Of course the republican office seekers are
opposed to civil service reform, Thev al
ready have begun their fight for the spoils
1t was announced in our dispatches the
other day that Gen. Harrison was deluged
with applications for office, and it has been
stated elsewhere that the spoils nen were
flocEing to Washington in great num-
bers, TO be on hand at the outset
of tho new administration to push
their claims. A great many of those
who went out of Office under Mr.
Cleveland have returned to Washington
with the determination to be reinstated If
possible, and their number has been aug
mented very greatly by others who want
their first taste of official plums They
probably win make Gen. Harrison ill with
WORRY
When Mr.. Cleveland became President,
the country knew he was a civil service re
former in practice as well as in theory His
course as governor OF New York had de-
monstrated that. Gen. Harrison, however,
has never held an executive Office, and the
people don't know whether his utterances
in favor of that reform were sincere, or not,
but il they were sincere. he will have to re-
pudiate them, unless he is brave enough to
stand out against his party.
