ROUGH ON GEN. BOOTH.

The London Church Times has the
following on the Salvation Army
."Boothism is but another of the excres-
cences which caricature the face of
much of modern Christianity. It has
receded from it's protested undenomina-
tionalism, it has done little or nothing
to break through the inert mass of prac-
tical heathenism, and it has unsettled
many who were quietly pursuing the old
paths. A letter which Llewellyn Da-
Wis wrote in the Times very trenchantly
deals more particularly with the second
of these assertions. Mr.. Davis speaks
from an intimate knowledge of the facts
derived from exceptional opportunities,
and he declares, without hesitation, that
the work of the army in that district
at least where his own church is stu
ated, is distinct failure. He failed, as
Others failed, to secure the names of any
genuine converts from the class fol
which the army was presumed to be
started. Many persons Of religious
character and susceptible dispositions
were attracted to it, but none perma-
nently from the uncared-for and disrep-
utable classes whose exclusive cham
pion Mr.. Booth tried to prove himself
before Mr.. Matthews. It is time that
this miserable travesty of religion
should be put to the test and that the
philanthropic people who SO largely
support it's peculiar methods should
understand that the work which Mr..
Booth is doing is work of destruction,
not of construction, and that the anne
Iteration of the outcast and poor of Lon
don is going on steadily through the
old established agencies, not by means
of this newest of shams."

GETTING LYING,

A hand to hand struggle with poverty
is not poetical, nor is it usually pleasant
but it has doubtless been the means of
developing more talent energy and
talent than any other stimulant ever
tried There is a breezy inspiration in
the thought that one pair of hands, un-
aided by the money and influence that
fill some, must win by toll the neces-
saries of life. 1t moreover creates that
sense of self-relience that is essential in
the makeup of a strong character, and
justifes in the mind of the worker a
feeling of confidence in his powers and
resources.
The heir to great wealth, brought up
in luxury, his wants anticipated, can
never know some of the healthiest of
emotions-the taste of well-earned
bread, the sweetness of well-earned
sleep. Where pleasure is constantly
pursued it generally eludes the pur-
suer, but what expensive amusement
can equal the sense of kindled self
respect that follows earnest effort in q
good cause! Fame and ambition may
be afterthoughts, but they are inferior
in real interest to the energetic race for
bread.
There is no need of man being neg
lectful of self or neighbors in getting
living, but it is often the case that the
kind and CHEEKY word is not spoken, nor
the social call made, nor the friendly
letter written, which might have kept
the currant of good feeling still strong.
This is all wrong. No one can afford to
shut out those influences which tend to
enlarge the social motive and keep the
heart warm.-Teras Sifti1egs.

A STANDING QUERY.

Glow is it, asks Thackeray, on one
of his most characteristic pages, "that
the evil which men say spreads so
widely and lasts SO long, while our
good, kind words don't seem somehow
to take root and bear blossoms? Ger
tain it is that scandal is good brisk talk,
whereas praise of ones neighbor is by
no means lively hearing. An acquaint-
ance grilled, scored, deviled, and served
with mustard and cayenne pepper, ex-
cites the appetite; whereas a slice Of
cold friend, with currant jelly, is but a
sickly, unrelishing meat"

We take the following extracts from
the last issue Of the Arizona Kicker:
EXPLANATORY.
Last week we announced that we wers
on the trail of J. B. Davis, the Apache
avenue grocer. and that this weeks issue
would contain an expose calculated tc
startle the community. We had over {
column of 1t in type when Mr.. Davis
called at The Kicker office and sub
scribed for the paper and gave us col
umn ad. for year.
aMr. Davis is not only genial
whole-souled gentleman, worthy Of .
place in our best society, but an enter
prising, go-ahead citizen who is credit
to the whole State. When you want
the best Of goods at the lowest prices
call on him."
REFORMING SLOWLY.
when we struck this town the 'chiei
of police lay drunk on the sidewalk in
front Of the postofice, and the six pa
trolmen were playing pool or poker.
Any one of the crowd could be bought
for half dollar. We have been peg
ging away for reform with each issue OF
The Kicker. and we are pleased to note
an improvement. The chief hasn't been
drunk for the last fortnight, and yester-
day we counted four patrolmen on their
beats at one time.
"All reforms move slowly, but pa
tience and perseverance will accomplish
much. We shall keep at it, and we pre-
dict that the day will yet come when
we shall have police force which shall
not fear drunken Indian nor sell out
to gambler for less than 80 SELL"
NOT THIS YEAR.
Considerable anxiety has been ex-
pressed by our many friends and we'll
wishers over the fact that The Kicker
did not get the city printing this year.
In answer to all inquiries we reply that
we did not want it. The total income
last year was 96 cents, while we lent
over $15 to the Mayor and Aldermen
and never expect to get cent of it
back. We can't stand that kind of a
racket more than one year."
SOME OTHER EVE.
"We have received several communi-
cations from leading citizens asking The
Kicker to "go" for Judge of Probate
Smith, who has been too befuddled
with bad whisky for the last month to
attend to business. There is no doubt
that the Judge ought to be raked fore
and aft, but we can't do it just now. We
are his creditor to the amount of about
500, and if we opened on him he'd tell us
to whistld for our loan. AS soon as we
get our money back We promise to make
the fur fly, not only in the case of the
Judge himself, but from the coat of his
brother Bill, who is also daily stepped
in liquor and rendering himself a pub

The Chicago Herald prints long, able
reply from W. j. Penrose to Tom Carter's
recent mis-statements. Mr.. Penrose's
account of the Silver Bow frauds covers
the whole ground up to the submission OF
Hall to Judge DeWolfe's mandate. Mr..
Penrose says: "In regard to the policy to
be pursued by the democrats in the face
of these republican frauds lies, my idea,
which is shared by Mr.. Murray and others,
is this: We have eight out Of 16 senators,
and the republicans have eight and the
lieutenant governor, giving them the
casting vote on tie. We ought to per
suade the democratic senators not to ap-
pear and thus defeat a quorum. We
would much rather defer statehood than
join the United States as sovereign com
munlty with such a stain on our
escutcheon. Thousands of re-
publicans share the same sentiment
and there will be no trouble in carrying
it out. This entire republican scheme is
to satisfy Carter, Sanders and the North.

and abetting the scheme by fixing meet

In the Cronin murder case the defense
is busily engaged in trying to prove that
the prisoners were elsewhere at the time
of the murder. In order that the testi-
mony Of each night correspond, the pris-
oners' council held rehearsal at o. Sulll-
vans house on Sunday, when it may be
presumed he put them through suppos.
ed cross examination as we'll as through
the direct one. The defense has so tar
failed to explain away the worst Incl
dents of the plot. The plan to decoy Dr.
Cronin from his home was an act OF cold
blooded treachery which bears in itself
proof of O'Sullivan's guilt. The renting
of the house where the murder was com
mitted has been fully proved against
Burke who has offered no explanation OF
his conduct which is conclusive of his
completely. Coughlin who was clearly
the chief consplrator has also failed te
break down the testimony against him
The case will probably go to the jury Sat

The Rolfe this morning refers to Hon.
L. H. Hershfeld, who was visitor in
the city, as democratic aspirant for the
senatorship." As Mr.. Hershfield is one of
the most prominent republicans in the
state-the only man who has ever led the
party to victory, which he has done twice
this is certainly an unkind and unchar-
liable reference. Mr.. H. said this morn
ing that if any other paper made that
blunder he could easily ascribe it to o
typographical error, but said he, "We all
know Rolfe." The object was to create
prejudice against Mr.. Hershtield in favor
Of The Rolfe's relative, and Mr.. H. read
lily saw the point. What with Mr.. Hersh'

SEMI-W EEKLY
BUSINESS INTERESTS.

The meeting of business men last even
ing was timely. In this growing city
there are new interests arising daily
which call for immediate attention. 10
stand still is practically to go backward.
Great Falls has many intelligent, ener-
getic citizens who can accomplish great
deal when they act unitedly. The best
way to bring about united action is to
hold frequent meetings such as that
held last evening. ".
The town has now firm basis to work
upon. 1t can point to the fulf1llment OF
the promises which were made to early
investors, and can show intelligent capi
ralists and manufacturers that they can
place their money here with decided ad-
vantage As the railroad center of north
Montana whence new railroads will ex-
tend to the Belt mountain mines and the
Judith basin on the one hand and to the
Pacific coast on the other, our position is
enviable. As the site of the Boston l.
Montana smelter which will employ al
least 5000 people, the city stands forth as
destined surely to attain the highest in
dustrial Importance. @..-.-
The railroads now in operation to Butte
and St. Paul; the great mineral deposits
of Neihart and Barker, the coal fields oi
Sand Coulee and the development on ar
immense scale of the Missouri watel
power (now assured beyond question
combined with the smelter and railroad
referred to, make Great Falls the bes
place for investors, large or small. w

The crisis is at hand. The struggle for
lawfnl government will begin tomorrow

from all parts of Montana resolute men
are going to Helena with instructions
that the rlghtful members and no Others
must be seated.
We rejoice that the democrats of Mon
tana are united in upholding right
They have allowed no diverse interests tt

cares which attend ordinary travel. Their
visit cannot fail to do good. They are

will all who make investments at present
rates or even at much higher figures.
Advise your friends to invest and make
known the merits of this place to any
manufacturers with whom you have deal
ings. Small sums can be invested with
as much advantage as large. In the

THE annual report of the Manitoba
railroad for the year ended June 80, 1889,
shows that 1t is a strong, solvent corpora
tion with large assets and bright pros
poets. The net income was $3,686, ,498,
although the Dakota and Minnesota
wheat crop was 100000 bushels less
than that of the previous year. The pas
senger, express, mail and miscellaneous
receipts were each larger than in the fiscal
wear of 1888. The freight receipts alone
showed decrease, because of the shor'
wheat crop. The average earnings pei

THE FINAL TEST.

The issues are made up in the contest
between the People and Fraud. 1t is
needless now to rehearse the notorious
facts that prove beyond question that
foul conspiracy has been in active pro
gress since the election returns showed
that the legislature would be democratic.
The great prominent fact stands forth
amid all the tumult Of the courts that I'll
democrats cast their votes at the Tunnel
precinct and that these votes have not
been counted by the so called state can
vassers. This is grave crime. 1t Is
treason against the people. The presl-
dent of the republic with all the naval
and military forces at her command dare
not rob a citizen of his vote. Why then
should petty tyrants of the Blake White
stamp dare rob whole county OF It's
rightful representatives.
In the legislature, the prominent i'm
| pregnable fact is that the lawful repre-
sentatives of the people alone have the
right to sit and legislate. The modes OF
organizing the house are OF trivial &C,
count compared with that Salient lndls'
putable privilege. The people OF Mon
tana expect that Governor Toole and the
democratic members Of the Legislature
will uphold that sacred privilege. 1t il
for such purposes that the governor i
charged by the constitution with the "ex
ecution of the laws" 1t is for such pur
poses among others, that the state mill
tia exists. If the militia is unequal ther
are thousands of democrats in Helen'
alone who would take up arms to defent
the rightful legislature.
| We hope no appeal to force Will p
necessary. But we say that the peopl
expect Governor Toole and the demo
cratic members Of the Legislature will se
that no imposters and frauds take part
organizing the legislature. Such person
have no more right to sit on the first da
than they would have to sit througho'
; the session. They are more criminal tha
burglars and must be put down with tirn
ness and resolution. We set no value e
y articles or technicallties. The firme
basis is the PEOPLE. They can be trus
ed to uphold right and crush fraud.
Great Falls tribune., 1889-11-23

THE legislative situation is as uncer-
tain as it is grave. There may be dem.
ocratic and republican legislature, that is,
one each, and there may be none. All
fair minded men will certainly agree that
the men who were elected to the legisla-
ture by the people are the men who
should constitute the body and none
other. Chief Justice Blake has already
ruled that the men who hold certificates
issued by county clerks are prima facie
entitled 10 seats.-Butte Miner.
Great Falls tribune., 1889-11-23
TIMES THAT TRY MEMS SOULS

Montana is now threatened with a |
fraudulent legislature. This is the great
est disgrace and misfortune that could
befall a young state.
1t means legislation by usurpers and
frauds. 1t means that persons who have
no right to pass laws are base enough to
exercise that privilege. 1t means that
the courts or the people are so degraded
or submissive that miscreants can dare to
exercise one Of the highest prerogativesin
the GIFT of free people.
A fraudulent legislature implies like
wise the election of two United States
senators, who will for four and six years
respectively assume to represent the peo-
ple of Montana in congressman who
will vote on the most momentous ques-
tions, thereby committing a fraud on the
the people of the United States, as well
as on Montana. Such men, who would
have no more right than Sitting Bull to
enter the senate, would rob the state OF
all the benefits that might be expected
from two able senators Of any party leg
ally elected. The brand Of fraud will be
upon them. No democrat will hold
communication with them. In the SEN
ate they will be despised by their own
party and be hated by the other. They
may try to be useful, but their service
will count no more than does the en-
forced labor of the. convict. ...t
Montana must be saved from this de
, graduation. 1t must not be said that the
miserable gang in which Jack, Hall
| Blake and White are prominent were
able in the open day to rob the people o
} Montana Of their dearest rights. Thi
I noble state, which in days gone by, estab
