STILL CLAIM MONTANA.
Republicans Hopeful That They VIII Get
Majority.

ST.. PAUL, Oct. IA Pioneer Press
special from Helena, Montana, says:
The Herald has advises to-
night that the republicans have elected
their whole legislative ticket in
Madison county. one member for which
was before conceded to the democrats and
also that the republicans gain. one member
in Fergus county. If the other republican
claims hold good this will make the state
senate tie and the house republican by
from one to four majority. Chairman Sc
igman, of the republican state committee,
claims the legislature and does not concede
the election of Toole for governor. The
official count in Lock county will be made
this week and that will settle the matter
unless the republicans should institute a
contest, which now seems probable.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM NEEDED.

There is no lack of destructive criticism
There is scarcely any one who does not feel
competent to point out defects. If any
thing is to be done, there are those who can
tell with infallible accuracy how not to do
it. When the same persons attempt TO con
struct something better than that which
they condemn, their weakness becomes
painfully apparent. They can pluck up
and pull down with wonderful facility, but
they cannot make the wilderness which
they create rejoice and blossom as the rose.
They can OVerturn existing institutions,
but they cannot replace them with some
thing superior to what they have destroyed.
There are superabundance of iconoclasts;
there is a great dearth of men who can
show the more excellent way. There are
reEsfous critics who object to the incarna-
ton, the atonement, and the resurrection
of Christ. The miraculous element in the
gospels is an offense to them, and is eX-
planned away These critics propose to
substitute something more in accord with
the scientific spirit of the age. With them
the Scriptures are on level with the
Koran ii the Vedas. Christ is religious
genius simply, and is classed with Moses
and Mohammed, with Confucius and
Buddha He lived and died, and his re
mains still sleep under the Syrian skies.
For the church there is q new brotherhood.
For baptism a badge Of silver and an in
