because Mr.. Haldorn would not be a

this judicial district and IN accordance
with the law Of the land as therein de-
clared, he took the oath OF Office and en-
tered upon the discharge Of Its duties
and will continued to do 30 until q higher
tribunal shall declare that the lower

Notwithstanding that, Notwithstanding
the judicial judgment was In accord
with the plain letter Of the law, Re-
publican precedent and facts, JUS
tice and public sentiment without
regard to party, and Notwithstanding
Mr.. Hamilton admitted all Of this in
open court and that he had practically
abandoned the position as un 'enetable
and ~disgraceful. he finally sacrificed his
manhood at the altar of the conspirator
and permitted the little that there was
left Of him to be dragged by the hands
Of anarchy and corruption to a deserted
room in the house that Jack built, where
he was forced into q chair and COM
handed to sit there while a bogus sheriff
proclaimed q bogus court and then hung
placard to that effect on the outside
and there he will continue
sit gazing with q vacant stare into

'erchance, some friend In need shall

i'm from a position that can but result
n a violent political death from which
here will be no resurrection; not even
Vhen Gabriel Sanders shall sound his ,
'ugle from the summit Of Mount Helena.
[r. Hamilton has not only made a con- ,
picuous fool of himself, but he has VIC 4
tied the law, thus placing himself at :
head of anarchy In the robes of a .

OF RECENT
The Wages Scare the Wickedest Lie of the
Century.

The Wages Scare the Wickedest Lie of the
Century.
Chicago Herald: The monstrous lie that
the protective tariff increases wages is OF
recent invention. 1t is a falsehood know.
ingly circulated by men who are fattening
on the sufferings of the poor and by the
paid agents OF such men.
Wages in the United States were ALWAYS
higher than in England. This was true be-
fore there was any tariff. 1t was true
when the tariff was merely a nominal one
Tor revenue. It has been true ever since,
although The tendency now is unmistak-
ably toward q common basis of earnings
SO far as England and the United States
are concerned. When the first protective
tariff was proposed the fact that wages
were much higher here than in England was
used as an argument against the measure.
America never could compete with England
in manufactures, it was said, because wages
here were so much higher than they were in
England. Yet there was no protective
tarln then. 1t was not until fifty years
had passed and the protected interests
found themselves no longer able to plead
the Infancy" of their industries that anv
one OF their tpokesmen dared suggest that
the tariff should be continued in order to
maintain wages.
The protective tariff has never been SUD.
by the same argument for more {
one generation. In the first place it
was held that it was necessary in order to I
|oster infant industries. It was admitted G
oy every body to be a tax or the many for t
he benefit OF a few. but it was justified on t
he score of economy. Later on, during
me civil war, its expressions were magni. q
led to a degree unheard OF any where else
N earth, but it was then excused as a war J.
Measure. It's author, Senator Morrill,, on "
Presenting it, said, with tears in his eyes. "
a tho tax would be a fearful burden to s
industry, which nothing but the N
eril OF the government could warrant, and :,
would, as a matter OF course, be lift. "
as soon as the war ended. When peace a.
and it was proposed to remove the al
urden, it was discovered by Jim Blaine h;
a lew other unprincipled tools of mon.
poly and privilege that it was the protect. Sc

So
Jim Blaine knows better. The menda- ne
Gus Chicago Tribune knows better, as the lo
erald can prove by its files. Every Re- as
lblican who knows enough to 90 in when mI'
rains knows better. The wages scare is p
Ised on the wickedest lie OF the century, nc

The Denver Republican seems to be
getting ready to flop on the tariff ques-
ton. Commenting on Senator Vests
article In the North American Review it
says: New conditions may arise that
may make Democrats pro~tectionists and
Republican free traders" The Helena
Journal and Inter Mountain should take
the cue, as the elections of the 9Th inst.
also suggest 1t. It is a bitter dose, but
the treatment must be heroic or the
disease will prove fatal.

THE TENNEDAY CASE.
Application Made for His Release on a
Writ Of Habeas Corpus.

The attorneys for w. 81. Venneday, re-
Gently convicted OF embezzlement in the
district court of this county, and sentenced
to one year in the pen~itentiary, have ap.
piled to the supreme court for his release
on a writ of habeas corpus. The writ will
be argued before Chief Justice Blake, sit
ting in chambers, at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Judge Cole, attorney for V~enneday,
will advance the claim that the conviction
and sentence of his client having occurred
in the territorial court after the admission
OF Montana az a state that his client should
be released in consequence OF the territory
having passed out of existence, and wal
without Jurisdiction.
Venneday was placed upon trial Nov. 10.
Montana was admitted as a state at IL
O'Clock the following day, while the trial
still In progress. Counsel for defend
ant holds that Judge DeWolfe's court was
abolished by the new constitution on the
date OF admission, and it therefore had no
Jurisdiction, and that it's decisions after
Nov. IL were null and void.
Leading lawyers express the opinion that
the theory OF the defense will be sustained.

The Inter Mountain has always been
