THE ROAD TO ORDER.

Political trickery struck n snag In
Helena. Backed by law and precedent,
Governor Tool put the republican con-
spiratOrs who trified i'm Silver Bow to
utter route and confusion before thev
ha6 n chance to set the machinery of
chicanery In motion.
Two days ago confusion reigned In
the politics of Montana. No man
could fortell what might be the out
come. The republican press was fore
shadowing violence and bloodshed and
the people We're disquieted by the cha
otto condition of public affairs. Gov
ernor Toole move forward like a man
of sense and of blood. lie acted In the
interest of peace and good order. he
planted himself OH law as the most
conspicuous republicans in Montana
have expounded il, he barred no con-
testant. but he arrayed himself against
the trifiers. In the realm Of good
sense he followed the direct road
out of trouble, and he ought
to be sustained by the Common people
i'm the he took. In the realm Of
law, he was backed by the code rs ex-
pounded by the republican chief Judge
OF b territory and the findings of the
republican ex-judge who has been CON-
mended to President Harrison an the
best man in all Montana for the federal
bench. This is n good time for the peo-
pie of Montana to catch inspiration
from the splendid leadership Of an in
trepid governor. Under his guidance

The men who met i'm the "Iron build

across back yards and under o%verhang-

which they were summoned by the call
of an individual who has not a vestige
of authority i'm the matter these
men may disturb the public
peace for n time, but their
career will he brief. They cannot leg

rump assemblage whom the Governor

LAW AND PRECEDENT.

To begin with, every citizen ought to
know what precedent and law decree
i'm the matter of certificates for men,
beers of the legislature.
The territorial law distinctly provi-
ded that these certificates should be
issued by the county clerks. On that
score there is no question, but the cpin-
ion was held by some people that the
ordinance attached to h constitution
changed this and vested authority to is
sue them with the state board.
On the l4th day of October. Henry
n. Blake, thief justice of the territory,
issued a writ of mandate ordering the
county clerk of Jefferson county to is
sue n certificate Of election to William
G. Whaley, member elect of Jefferson
county. Judge Blake, the head of the
judiciary of the territory of Montana.
Is u republican. He furnished this
writ before the state was proclaimed
and before he acted AS "a member of the
state canyassing board.
On the 18th of October l.. A. Walker,
secretary of the territory. wrote "a letter
to the clerk of Gallatin county instruct
ing that officer that II was the county
clerks duty. under the law. to issue GER
titicates to members of the legislature.
Ills letter, about which there is no dis
puts> says: ''The issuing of certificates
to the members is done under the old
law, see page 800, sec. 1,O33, of the re-
vised statutes" Secretary Walker Is a
republican and, like Judge Blake 4
member Of the state c~anvassiRg b<sard,
Ex-Governor White being the third
member.
Meeting afterwards IA n returning
board, these three gentlemen received
| partial returns on the constitution and
| on certain candidates from Silver Bow
county. These returns were carried To
Helena on IA special train. to which the
STANDARD took occasion to make spe-
| cial reference Mt the time. Thereupon
h state canvassers concluded that il
would be "a clever play to adjourn in "a
hurry. while most of u precinct on the
whole ticket was still i'm court. and
then let the conspiracy insist that
every member of the legislature should
produce his state certificates. Judge
Blake vent into this deal in spite OF
his mandate, of exactly opposite mean,
ing. issued just a few days before. Sec
rotary Walker favored it. i'm the face OF
his letter to the county clerk of Gala
tin. Ex-Governor White approved il
although he openly declared 20 hours
later that his own Judgment was t.
throw out all the returns from Silver
Bow.
Meanwhile, i'm the counties OF the

cans and democrats, II a condition OF

RAIL AND cRossr1E.

Ancient Greece has caught the fever for
railway building. The government has in
vited bids for $40 miles OF lines, OF which
the principal one is to be 2l4 miles long,
forming connecting link between the
Austrian and Turkish systems.
The number of electric street railways in
America is now sixty-nine, operating BAG
miles OF road, and a large number more
are under construction or projection. One
OF the existing roads operates 1SjS miles.
Two others fourteen miles each and several
| others from ten to twelve miles each.
On the British railways during 1888 there
| were g11 persons killed and SS07 were in
Jured, compared with precisely the same
number killed and 7,747 injured in 1887,
showing an increase Of l 900 personal acct
dents during the year. This is the record
In country having only about 1000 miles
Of railway.
British railway employees are more in
cllned 10 make provision for the future than
those in this country where wages are
higher and the prospects of an improved
condition are better. The Superannuation
FUND Association of the London and North

balance of e569, $40, or nearly S2,S59, 900.
During the past year its income was

ton, the question arises why a portion of
this great surplus is not distributed among
the members of the association, thereby in
creaslng their tangible benefits. But the
fact that this and similar British railway
benefit associations have been able to accu-
mulate large capital indicates the power
OF associated efforts to raise money, even
where the individual contributions are
comparatively small.
