HARRISON AND MONTANA.

Our morning cotemporary draws heavily
on its imagination and bring forth what
calls "Five solid, unalterable facts" The
first in the list is the following: "Benja-
min Harrison kept Montana out of the
Union for three years" If this is true at
all or has any color of truth it must have
occurred some years ago, for Mr.. Harrison's
successor was elected and took his seat In
the Senate March A, 1886. 1t must have
been prior to that time and while he was
Senator from Indiana and chairman of the
committee on Territories. The facts are
we'll known to all reading voters in Mon
tana. The Democrats refused to admit
Dakota with four times the population of
Montana because it was 80 strongly Repub-
lican, and the only inference that at that
time the Democrats would have voted
to admit Montana is that it
was supposed to be reliably
Democratic Senator Vest insis ed
that until another national census could
be taken the population of Dakota for all
action must be taken to be what 1t was
returned in 1880. Judged by this rule the
population of Montana was at that time
less than 100000 The outrageous injustice
of admitting Montana at that time, and
refusing to admit Dakota, was so apparent
that, with all our anxiety to become a
hos N
in Montana who wanted the boon on such
terms. 1t is pure assumption to suppose
that every Democrat would have been a
party to such an injustice. We have 100
high an opinion of most Democrats to
think it. And certainly Beniami Harri-
son had not the control of the Senate. He
had but single vote. Every other Repub-
lican felt as he did on the subject, and
would have opposed it even had he sup
ported it. Senator Harrison had but one
vote out of seventy-six at that time. The
situation is somewhat changed. The same
BENJAMIN Harrison is now President and
has the sole responsible power, by issuing
or withholding his proclamation to admit
or to refuse admission to Montana as q
State Our people will have an opportunity
to know very soon what reliable friend
Montana has in this same Benjamin Harri
son. However maliciously he may be be
lied by the Montana Democracy, we ven
ture to say in advance that if a majority
approves our constitution, however els'
they may vote, there will be no hesitancy
on his part in issuing the proclamation tina
will complete our admission as State
There never was day that Benjamin Har
rison was not better friend of Montan'
than Grover Cleveland, whose whole ad
ministration was hostile to the interests o
Montana, though majority of its peopl'
were unwilling supporters and humble
apologists of his policy.

In Singular contrast with the Republi-
can idea of judicial nominations was the
partisan speech of Hon. w. NJ. Bickford at
Missoula last night. Mr.. Blckford is a
candidate for one of the Supreme Justice
ships on the State Democratic ticket, yet
he does not hesitate to take the stump for
his party. The State Republican committee,
on the contrary, takes the ground that po-
sitions on the bench are not political offices,
and have instructed the judicial candidates
on the State ticket 8 well as all the Candi
dates for district judgships that their can
didacy will not allow any participation in
electioneering The policy is in consonance
with the feelings of the candidates them
selves, who, coming before the people fol
offices in which the administration Of jus.
tice is the highest duty, regard stump
speaking and any active participation in
politics on..their part as out of place and
indecorous. The Democrats, however
seem to think that their candidates for thu
bench should take as active part in tn,
campaign as any other nominees.

COMRADE SMITH, of the Grand Army,
whose impromtu speech at the meeting of
the young Republicans created such q
furore of enthusiasm last night, is soldier
with q record. He served in the Southwest
and counted one of the Federal army that
fought its way into the vital parts of the
confederacy. In the battle of Missionary
Ridge he was in the advance that scaled
the heights in the face of shot and shell
and leaden bullets poured upon the
assaulting troops. The line of gallant
blue. coats was slashed and rent and scores
and hundreds went down before the with
ering fire, but the brave men who survived
went on, and up and up to the top. Smith
was struck BY no ,ess than eight bullets,
no one of which, miraculously, hit him in
vital part. but his body and face are
SCARED to this day by wounds received in
that bloody conflict. The brave man
scaled the hights-he climbed to the very
top-and was there with his surviving com
RAIDS to answer to roll-call when the
battle was won. AS Soldier Smith re-
marks, every Democrat is not rebel, but
every rebel is Democrat; if it wasn't
for the Republicans we wouldn't have a
country, and if it wasn't for the rebels there
wouldn't be Democratic party. l faced
Democrats with the bavonet all through
the war and have faced Democrats with
the ballot ever since"

HUMAN SACRIFICES.

We pretend to be civilized and chris
tianized country and people, but in reality
there are large portions of the United
States in which the sacrifice of human
victims is just as regularly practiced as it
was among the earlier Greeks or the later
Mexican or the more barbarous natives of
interior Africa. Whenever, in any part of
the black belt" of the South, as it is called,
there is prospect that the negroes will as
sert their legal right to vote and put the
guardians of the ballot box to the incon-
venience of making false returns,
with possibility of congress
sional investigation, there is
race conflict provoked and few negroes
killed as warning for the rest to stay
away from the polls on election day.
w en- it was reported that race war had
broken out in the Third Louisiana district,
where special Congressional election was
pending, and few neg oes killed, we rec
og,ize the usual symptoms of coming
Democratic victory. When the negroes in
their terror have taken to the woods and
canebrakes the field is ready for q Demo-
cratic triumph. The high priests of South.
ern Democracy have no more compunction
in killing few negroes than the priests of
the Sun under the old Mexican worship
had in plucking out the hearts of their
writhing victims. On the whole we re-
gard the superstitious votaries of the an
cient sun worship as the more excusable.
We have heard with somewhat incredu
lous interest the story Of an eye witness to
an election in South America, where a
company of government troops was sta
toned within easy range of the ballot box
with orders to shoot anyone who dared tC
vote against the government candidate
Even this is more humane and excusabls
tn An the system that prevails in some
Southern districts of this enlightened and
| christian nation.

CAPTURE of an Outlaw,

Los ANGELES, CAL, September 7.-SyI-
vestro Morales, the outlaw who has for
some time terrorized sections of Southern
California, was captured yesterday.
Morales was seen to emerge from the
bushes by constable and his deputies, and
they covered him with rifles and made him
prisoner. Near by the bush was found a
girl. Nympbia Brown, whom Morales alb
Quoted month ago and who has since &C.
companied him. She refused to state
whether she accompanied him willingly O,
not. The couple were taken to San Luis
Rey, where the girl will be restored to her
parents, and Morales will be required to
answer to the charge of recently murder
ing the wealthy rancher, Henry Charles.

MlSSOULA DEMOCRATS MEET.
The Hall Crowded by Many Republi-
cans and Flat Speeches Mark
the Proceedings.

MIssoULA, September G. Special to
the HERALD. The first gun flashed in
the pan. The candidate for Associate
Judge of the State Supreme court, Hon. w.
NJ Bickford, made two speeches and the
candidate for District Judge, Hon. W. j.
Stephens, made one speech at the Demo-
cratic meeting here this evening. They
were mendacious, colorless, and harmless,
except the improperly of candidate for
Judge making any political speech at all.
They falsifed history they were igno-
rant of, which is their excuse and polite
and patient audience received their per-
versions of fact with great good nature
Major Maginnis was at his best and a
pretty kettle of fish he made of it. The
pronoun "Ir was the burden of his song, a
statisticain here affirming that ne men
toned his modest self one hundred and
nine times during his speech. His perver-
sions of fact, while considerable, were
not enough to make out good case.
His defense and adulation of the mil
liOnsires were eloquent and studied.
Incidentally only he mentioned his ser
vices whereby, in conjunction with Gen.
Hancock, he suppressed rebellion against
the authority of the United States in 1868,
thereby greatly disappointing his audience,
who expected some details of that difficulty
aud the actors therein. He stated that not
withstanding the Democratic party had been
in power during twenty five years, the Ter
ritory had survived to this day, which he
esteemed great praise. There is consider
able regard felt here for Major Maginnis as
back number, and here he is permitted
the great privilege of age-garrulity. He
could have made no greater public hit than
to have inexOrably shut his mouth.
Memorial resolutions in his behalf would
pass any ordinary meeting of Democrats or
Republicans and compliments which did
not involve surIeader of principle would
be freely proffered, but, alas, he failed.
Mr.. Maginnis was embarrassed greatly
by the presence of Col. w. F. Sanders,
Judge Hiram Knowles, Hon. wv. II. De-
Witt, candidate for Associate Judge of the
Supreme Court, Hon. C. S. Marshall, candi-
date for District Judge, and about 800
other Republicans He seemed angry at
himself and the rest of the world. He
said General Meagher had challenged
Judge Blake to fight a duel, which the
Judge wisely declined. but he drew no
moral conclusions therefrom.
The speech was stale, fiat and unproft-
able, and the whole proceeding .impotent
for good.

If these same revenues were spent in
support of public education, in internal
improvements that would give employ
ment to labor, in building railroads, I'M
proving rivers, draining swamps and irri-
eating deserts, everybody would be happier
and richer for the taxation.
~
We are not advocates of high salaries or
any species of extravaganza. As nation
we have not a penny to waste. We have a
large national debt still to be paid, and we
want to see it wiped out as the last rem
nant and reminder of our civil war. The
money spent in pensions we regard as only
part of our war debt. If not legal
debt, it is one of justice. We regard the
money thus paid not only as a debt for
what our Union soldiers have done, but for
what they are still doing They are still
soldiers, though without uniforms and COM
missions. They insure US domestic order
and immunity from foreign attack. If we
do not think of it other nations do. They
know that we have scattered through all
the ranks of industry and civil employ
ment hundreds of thousands of trained
soldiers who would step into line at the
first signal of danger and no army in the
world would stand before them.
We want revenues for the purpose of
erecting a national public building in
every town in the country. 1t is needed
for postoffice purposes, if for nothing else.
The longer this is put off the more it will
cost, and it will surely have to be done in
the end.
We want revenues to improve the great
rivers of the country from their sources to
the sea. 1t needs vast reservoirs to store
the surplus and prevent floods. These
reservoirs would supply the needed means
of irrigation for Unlimited water power for
manufacturing, to create supplies OF elec-
trical power. By Strengthening and lower
ing the beds of our rivers we could reclaim
enough swamp and overhOwed land, the
best lands we have, to give support to
double our present population.
We want revenues for the construction
of navy to protect our Shores our COM
merce, our influence in the world and the
rights and interests of American citizens
wherever they may 60 in quest of pleasure
or profit.
Yes, we confess we want large revenues
for many and large uses, but not particle
of extravaganza anywhere

EVERY country and section has lis own
peculiar interests, growing out of its
natural resources, its soil, and climate. We
in Montana raise wool and mine ores of
copper and lead, and so far our only avail
able market for any agricultural product
depends upon the working Ct our mines.
Our interests are all dependent upon the
policy of protection, and the only national
party consistently and reliably sustaining
that policy is the national Republican
party, with which the party in Montana is
in full and hearty alliance. The Demo-
cratic party of Montana has only adopted
the Republican policy Of protection for the
purposes of this campaign. If its candi-
dates should ever reach the official goal at
which they aim, they will either repudiate
that policy or be repudiated by their party.

STEVE BRODIE.
He Goes Over the Great Horseshoe e
Falls and Lives.

CLIFTON, Ont, September = Steve
Brodie went over the Horseshoe Fslls..this
morning in rubber suit. He was picked
up below the falls in an unconscious scondi-
tion and taken to Clifton. He recovered
consciousness not long afterward, and an
examination showed that he was not seri-
ously injured.
Brodie, with several friends and news
paper correspondents, arrived last night.
They left the hotel at A o'clock this morn
ing and went to point 200 feet above the
falls Brodie then stripped and had his
body padded with cotton batting; then he
put ON rubber suit which, was inflated so
inches around the waist, IS inches around
the chest and head gear also inflated, while
two steel bands protected the body. At
$50 Brodie,s with a paddle, entered the
water, caught the current, waved the
paddle, and few seconds later was shot
over the center of the Horse Shoe falls, and
luckily was hurled with lightning rapidity
over the outside of one of the falling vol
umns of water and was quickly lost in the
mist and foam. He was buried from view
nearly two minutes when he appeared on
the surface and was carried toward the
American shore. Then suddenly was hur-
ried toward the Canadian shore, where his
friend, John Ledger, had ropes ready to
L.
stripped, and swan out 200 feet with
rope fastened to his waist, while W. E.
Harding held the other end on the
shore. Ledger, after several at
tempts, reached Brodie, and fastened
the rope to the iron band around his waist
and then swan ashore and assisted in
pulling the daring swimmer ashore. On
Brodie being lifted on the rocky shore he
was quickly stripped. Brandy was poured
in small quantities on his temples, while
he was rubbed and chafed, but he was in
sensible end the blood oozed from his nose
I'd ears, probably from the shock or con-
cussion. For twenty minutes Brodie lay un
conscious, amonia was applied to his no trils
and BIS began to shiver and gesticulate with
his hands He gradually recovered con-
sciousness and it Was then found that his
injuries were not serious. He expects to
be able to 90 to New York to morrow.
In describing his experience, Brodie says
that after he entered the river he weakened
and would have given anything IN the
world if he could have reached the shore
He attempted to get ashore by using his
paddles, when the swift current swept him
back and turned his feet towards the brlnK
, of the cataract. When he saw that 1t was
impossible to get out he felt the same as
, man that was to meet death. Just as ne
came to TIE brink of the falls he became
| unconscious through fright and renamed
, so until he struck The water, churned lnlo
foam at the base of the falls, when he was
temporily brought to by the force WIN
which he struck the water. Then he again
, lost consciousness and knew no more unti
, he found himself lying on his rubber suit
at the water's edge
There is no doubt that Br0dle success
fully went over the falls

NEITHER Carter nor any member of the
Republican legislature, nor any Republi-
can of Montana out of the legislature,
tried to keep it from becoming State one
more year. When the result of the No
vember election was ascertained the Demo-
Gratis manifested zeal for the admission of
new States never before witnessed, but
some of their propositions were SO grossly
unfair that rather than submit to the
humiliating terms, many Republicans pre-
ferred to wait rather than to accept them.
Seeing that more liberal terms must be
offered or Republican congress and ad-
ministration would reap the whole glory, a
email portion of the Democrats finally
consented to such modification of the ad-
mission that the Republicans no longer
hesitated or opposed. 1t was the Novem-
Der Republican victory that secured the
early admission of Montana, and every
voter in Montana knows it.

On two or three recent occasions in this
city Democratic speakers have spoken of
Tammany Hall as a model political organi-
zation. Being the most despotic, corrupt
and altogether villainous gang that has
ever existed in the Union it certainly
comes near realizing the Democratic ideal
Of partisan methods. But the question is
whether the Democrats have Boss Tweed
among them. No doubt Mr.. Word, who
was one of the speakers referred to, would
be willing to undertake the part, but has
he the capacity to perform it? And how
long would he be able to keep out Of
the penitentiary?

THE Standard, of Anaconda, is out. 1t
may be compared in size, neatness of sp-
pearance and news with the HERALD,
which is the best compliment any one can
pay it. For the time being it will be
Democratic, perhaps more in Difference to
the solicitation of others of the Big Four
than to the real, honest wishes of the
owner, Mr.. DAILY. Outside of its politics
the Standard reads as god as its namesake
of Syracuse. 1t could not be different with
Durston astride the tripod.
