THE STATE SENATE.

The Montana constitutional convention
marked the completion of the first
month Of its existence 10y the adoption
Of proposition which is based upon a
miseOnceptiOn Of theory Of American
government and grounded upon a sec
tiOnal jealousy that should be beneath
the dignity OF so important a body. 1t
was the provision for uniformity Of rep
resentatiOn of the several counties in
the state senate, regardless alike OF the
questions of population or contribution,
in the form OF taxes. to the revenues OF
the state. The principal argument ad-
dueed by the advocates Of the county
representation plan was that the states
are equally represented In the United
States senate, and that thirteen OF the
thirty-eight state senates are similarly
constituted. There can be no force
whatever to the latter portion of this
statement, because il the mere question
OF example is to be considered we have
twenty five against thirteen in favor OF
senatorial districts arranged upon the
basis OF population. And as to the us-
tionAl senate, the case is not analogous,
for that body is not representative in
character. its members being chosen by
stale legislatures instead OF by direct
vote of the people. In the debate that
preceded the adoption Of the Legislative
portion Of the national constitution ii
was distinctly ayOwed by John Dickin-
son. one Of the foremost advocates Of the
existing plan, that il should bear as
strong a likeness as possible TO the Brit
ish house Of lords. and consist OF men
distinguished for their rank in life and
their weight OF property '-considera-
tions that will sound strangely In the
ears OF representatives OF the men who
toll with their hands. The Argument
for the senate was, throughout, that
being chosen by the legislatures OF the
several states-having undergone pro-
cess Of filtration. as one speaker de-
scribed tit would act as q check
upon the purely democratic body. the
house Of representatives. But the state
senate will undergo no such refining
process; il will spring. as will

The STOCK COMMISSIONERS

Many Old Brands Hand--The Next
Meeting-About Cattle.
The board of stock commissioners, at its
meeting held at Miles City last April,
adopted a resolution directing the secretary
to send out circulars to the owners of
brands throughout the territory, asking
them If they owned brands not in use and
which they were willing TO have cancelled.
This action was taken for the purpose of
getting rid of the very large surplus OF
brands now IN stock in the archives of the
secretary's Office, many of which are dead
and unused. w. l. Harrison stated yester-
day 10 an INDEPENDENT reporter that
there are over $500 brands now recorded
with him, which renders Il extremely
difficult 10 record any new brand without
coming in conflict with those previously
recorded. The circulars have been sent
oct, but be says very little attention has
been paid TO the request.
The Montana Stock-growers association
will hold its semi annual meeting in Hell
ena on Tuesday, August 20, in the court
house. A large attendance Is expected and
important business is to be transacted. The
railroads will sell rOund-trip tickets for
one fare and fifth from all Montana
points
The Wyoming and Montana associations.
with view to economy, will act together
in the matter of inspectors at the ST. Paul
and Chicago yards. The Montana in
spectOr at ST Paul will do the work at that
point for both territories and the Wyoming
man will do likewise at Chicago.
The Stock growers association has 200
membership. At the last meeting the
membership fee was reduced from $40 TO
SIS. The secretary says he handled $4,000
last year, money derived by the stock de-
tectiyes from the sale of strays.
The statement of cattle shipments to ST.
Paul and from Miles City, sent IN by the
inspectors, shows the shipments To be. to
ST Paul Tor July $500; for June from
Miles City $500; from Fort Benton about
800. The horse shipments 10 ST. Paul for
July are 8 $50. against 704 for June.
Caulemen are preparing 10 make some
heavy shipments this month and cattle are
being fattened for market. The stock
growers are alive to the Importance of do
log something 10 save themselves from the
danger which threatens, owing 10 the
shortage of hay and water, and will not
keep any more stock on hand
than they can take care of. The
severe experience of the winter
of 1856 was one which will not bear
repetition and a recurrence of the heavy
loss Will not happen If they know them
selves. They have agents in the field pur-
chasing all the available hay and have a
good supply of feed left from last year.

SAINT CARNEGIE, having made several
millions out Of American industries
which are protected 10 a superlative de-
gree, has reached the conclusion that
American mechanics are too we'll paid.
Saint Carnegie has been generous in
giving to various deserving public insti-
tutiOns. but that will not justify him in
attempting TO reduce the wages OF
workingmen in the mills where the
money is made which goes to support an
estate in Scotland OF baronial proper
tions. The nobIest and the most beneti-
cent charity is that which enables men
to become by their own energies inde-
pendent Of charity.

now that tomorrow will be a phenOme-

The constitution, in The opinion Of the
Boulder Age, should prohibit the legisls-
ture from making any grants in perpetuIty
for any purpose, and especially for eharit-
able purposes. Otherwise the state may
be burdened with the support of iastitu-
tiODs which it is not the duty and may not
be the desire of the people Of the state TO
support. In fact, II were better that the
legislature be prohibited from making any
grants for charitable purposes, for such
grants are generally cloaks for rOobing the
people.
