ORGANIZING THE HOUSE.

{ The time has come TO consider seriously
the question of how the House of Repre-
sentatives of the Montana Legislature is to
be organized. In a full house there is 50
members. One seat will be vacant on ac-
count of tie All the other delegations
except that from Silver Bow are undis-
puted, and out of that delegation there are
five members, four Democrats and one Re-
publican, who have both certificates and
against whose election 10 more objection
can be made than against those from any
other county. There will, therefore, be 49
members ready to be sworn in
against whom 70 objection can be made
by anyone. Let these unite in a tempo
rary organization, leaving the five con-
tested seats to be filled after a COM
mittee, composed of members from
both parties, has thoroughly investigated
the Tunnel precinct, and another commit
tee made up in like manner has made a
recount of the vote on Joint representatives
in Deer Lodge and Beaverhead counties.
The probabilities are that a recount will
settle the contention and avoid the expense
and delay ofa special election.
If this organization is completed by noon
Nov. 25th, and an adjournment had for a
week, the committee in that time can ar
rive at some conclusion which we think
will settle the dispute and the election OF
Senators can then proceed in accordance
with the national law on the second Tues
day after the organization. 1t is doubtful
if it can be- legally brought on before that
time.
If the Democrats are determined to stake
all on the character of the certificates held
by the Silver Bow contesting five of their
party, they surely have the worst of it, for
the certificates from the State canvassers
will be held best and most regular in any
tribunal that will pass upon them.

THE failure of SO many trials by reason
of the disagreement of the jury reminds
us that under our Sta,e constitution, in all
civil cases and criminal cases below the
grade of felony, two thirds of a jury may
render verdict. The case has not arisen
for testing the working qualities of this
new law, but we anticipate only the most
favorable results, with even less dissatls-
faction than has been expressed with our
Australian system of voting The voca-
tion of the obstinate and irreconciliable
juryman has largely disappeared. In the
higher grade of criminal CASES the law
still requires an unanimous verdict, and
these are the cases most desperately fought
in court, as there is most at stake, and the
law seems to favor escape by increasing
the difficulty of conviction. The law is
careful and tender Of personal liberty and
reputation and would err. if at all, in favor
of innocence and liberty. But the result
of the two-third rule in minor and civil
cases will soon show it works, as expected,
in favor of justice, and if so there may be
anticipated such q general sentiment as
will carry through further reforms 10 the
same direction.

IT is favorite method of treating the
question of free coinage OF silver, by eastern
advocates of the single standard, that only
the owners of silver mines in the Rocky
mountain region are the movers for
double standard Before the present con-
gress is over, this delusion will vanish, for
it will appear that the whole West and
South is practically unit in its favor. The
friends of the double standard have In
their favor the concurrent testimony OF all
history, the fact that both are placed on
par by our national constitution. Besid es
the law and the testimony we have the
auxiliary facts that the increasing volume
of the worlds business transactions requires
q broader specie basis than gold alone can
supply With us there is special reason
for using both metals, in the fact that the
payment of our bonds is calling in the ma
tional bank currency and we need some
thing to supply its place. And then, tne
fact that ours is the greatest silver-pro'
ducing country requires that wechampion
its cause.

A DUAL HOUSE.

As anticipated after the extraordinary
proclamation of the Governor assuming to
designate who we're members, the Republi-
can members of the House, refusing to
recognize what they regarded as unwar-
ranted usurption and following the laws and
precedent, repaired to place provided by
the Auditor, at the hour designated by the
call of the Governor and organized by tax
ing the oath of office and thereafter, quo
rum being present, proceeded to elect a
speaker.
The Democratic members who submitted
to the Governors scrutiny assembled In
the room provided for them and organized
on the prescribed basis of county certif
Gates. This crucial test admitted the Sill
yer Bow claimants and made up quorum
which proceeded to organize according to
programme.
The situation at present is, thsrefore two
organized houses of representatives and an
unorgarized senate.
For condition of affairs so anomalous
not to say disgracefuI, the Governor by hi
proclamation is solely responsible. For tn,
Republican members to have attended anG
submitted themselves to the Governor'
prescribed test, would have made them en-
dorsers of his usurped authority-the ey
would have ceased to be representatives o
the people, constitutional representatives
and been only personal servants of tn,
Governor.
1t is sad beginning Of Statehood. l
would have been worse if the Republican
members had submitted to such an unpar
alleled usurpation on the part of the execu
tive. The wager of battle was rendered
and those who believed in the freedom G
the representatives of the people promptl
accepted it with all its consequences. Sue
liberty, so limited by executive usurpatior
is mockery, and true to the example q
King Johns barons at Rundymede, ther
were men in Montana ready to stand fo
their prescriptive and constitutions
rights.
When, where or how the drama will en-
none will be bold enough to predict, bu
we know enough to predict that the fire.,
dom of the peoples representatives will b
vindicated.

THE plain duty of the Senate of Montana
ia to refuse to occupy the rooms whicE the
County Commissioners think they have
made the private property of Gov. Toole for
the purpose of excluding them from mem
bers of the House of Representatives. This
is no frivolous attack on governmental in
stitutio q. and Gov. Richards and the
Council are by this idiocy given great
opportunity to teach an impressive lesson
and contribute to the world lofty ex-
ample of remoustrance against the usurpa'
tions of executive power. The Council
cannot afford to sit in house secured OF
controlled by such auspices, nor can the
Legislature or Mr. Kinney afford to 60 there

By the Governor Proclamation.

II has been long the custom of our people with
the closing of the year to look back upon the
blessings brought them in changing the course
OF the seasons and to return solemn thanks to
the All Giving source from whom they flow. At
no recurrence of that period has the reason for
univ srsal thanksgiving by the people OF our
favored Territory been more conspicuous, more
manifest or more universal.
Now therefore, I, Benjanlin f. White, Cover
nor OF the Territory of Montana, conforming to
the proclaim alton Of the President of the United
States do appoint and set apart Thursday, the
18th day Of November, A. ID. 1889, as day oil
Thanksgiving and praise Let the day be one
of gladness Let those who enjoy the reunion
OF families and friends around the he rthstone
of peace and plenty remember the widow, the
orphan and the lone ones. Let those who are
the recipients of comfort, cheer and social en-
ioyment be mindful of the poor in deeds OF
charity. Let those who labor and toll be given
by their employers a day about their own
heartstones for thanksgiving and respite with
out the loss of their daily income Deeds oil
kindness thus scattered and burdens so lightened
will be but bread upon the waters" and will
make the first Thanksgiving day anniversary OF
our grand young State worty OF her law ABIDING,
generous and Christian people.

of government into three coordinate
branches, will not allow their distinctions
to be ignored even for day Within his
designated sphere of action the Governors
authority is 10 be respected, but outside Of
that sphere he is but private citizen, with
no more authority than any other man in
Montana.
The course he has chosen renders the
peaceful and orderly organization of the
Legislature an impossibility. No self-re-
specting representative of the people will
submit to such dictation and assump ton
of illegal powers. 1t is lawless tyranny
and virtual assumption of dictatorship
in all its essential ingredients Mr.. Toole's
"bed of justice" in imitation of that of the
early French Kings, will not have many
occupants, and those debased enough to
register his DEGREES will abjure their char
acter as representatives of the people.
Macauly tells US of King Charles, when
he went down to Parliament with an
armed force to attempt the arrest of certain
offensive members, that he intended to
commit crime, but he only committed a
mistake. Whatever Governor Toole has
attempted he has certainly committed a
mistake, an unparalleled mistake, the effects
of which none can yet fjresee Thick clouds
overshadow the present of Montana, and
what the future is to be none can tell. We
do not believe success possible for such
usurpation in this age and country. The
crisis demands sober, prompt and decisive
action, and we have 70 fears of the ulti-
mate issue. Let each be prepared to do his
duty calmly and resolutely.

THE Union Pacific railroad seems to have
got tired of waiting on the movements of
the government in selling its second mort
gage, and from its central position is reach
ing out for independent connections in all
directions. 1t has completed its short
line" to Oregon and is now pushing through
Utah and California to Southern Pacific
connection at Los Angeles. At the same
time it is reaching for line of Its own to
the Gulf of Mexico and another to the
Northeast, so that it will soon be in con-
dition to snap its fingers in the face OF
Congress and tell it to take its worthless Sc
curity and settle as it may choose with the
& rst mortgage bond holders, who would
only be too glad to get their money and
give up the road The country might as
well face the fact that the money paid to
build the Union Pacific road is gone for
good and for ever The property held as
security would not sell for enough to pay
off tn, first mortgage. A better road could
now be construc ed Ior mucu less mohey
than the first mortgage represents. Instead
of wasting nine millions in trying to col
lect bad debt, it seems as if it would be
better to charge it up to profit and loss and
credit experience with an equal amount.
Yet this investment made in the perilou'
times of war as pledge o
the integrity of the country has no
been lost. The indirect benefits to tn
country have been many times greater thar
the whole cost. 1t demonstrated the feast
bility of q transcontineutal railroad. l

desert and put in the way of ultimate ex

ARE THEY CRAZY!

Jim Fulkerson (colored) and Commis-
sioner E. W. Knight have been all day at
the Court House. They are said to con-
slider themselves returning board. They
are putting doors on the various rooms OF
the Court House and changing the locks to
suit the keys of their frie nds. 1t Is said
the hallucination possesses them that the
men who are admitted by them or who can
get into certain room comprise the mem
bers of the Legislature.
They entertain a high opinion of the
Mississippi and Louisiana methods, and
despairing of a determination by the
law in their favor they purpose
force. This makes the irreverent laugh
They are gathering the keys OF
the Court House. In short
all things ridiculous are occurring.
Whose officially mixes into this matter
renders himself liable to impeachment as
well as to other criminal processes, and
neither law nor jOsice is powerless in
Montana. If the Legislature is subordinate
or subservient to the executive power or
board of county commissioners, now Is the
time to find it out. We had supposed
public liberty reposed securely on an entire
separation of the Legislature from executive
dictation or force, and fol that matter that
force imposed on any other department by
the executive was anarchy that might rise
to the dignity of civil war. We promise
these gentlemen present discontinue and
future ridicule and contempt.
Uncle Jack Smith was III this matter, but
seeing its absurd side has withdrawn. This
is a part and parcel of the conspiracy to
wrest Montana from the control of her peo-
pie and will cover the ha!lequins who IN
vented it and who are carrying it out not
only with ridicule but also with shame.

WHILE we loath polygamy. we are con-
strained to say that the scandalous ease
with which divorces are procured IN many
States is almost as had as poly gauy, which
it closely resembles in many of its motives
and ends. Better have no divorce than
have it so general and easy. The life and
fate of this nation depends more upon the
standard of social purity maintained than
upon any one thing.

THE Governor OF Montana, who so
recently swore to support, protect and de-
fend the constitution of the State of Mon
tana, has deliberately denounced its pre-
visions, clear and explicitly, and preferred
the inconsistent provisions of the old Ter
ritorial law, because it seemed more
favorable to his partisan purpose 1t is 10
small offense, and will hardly pass as an
error of judgment except at the heavy ex-
pense of his intelligence.

II seems probable that both North Da-

election of Senators to-day before our State
Legislature has convened. As Congress

and have them in Washington to represent
