A LESSON OF T~OLERATIoN.

Does the country want q smaller coin
than the cent? It is doubtful If 1t does.
yet there is a demand in certain eastern
quarters for such q coin. The st. Paul
"Globe" says:
It looks like getting down to small things
TO ask congress to coin q half-cent. About
the only use Tor pennies in the West 10 to
buy evening papers and investin the penny
in-the-slot drinks. The American News.
dealers association, it is stated, will peti.
ton for the hali-cent. No doubt there will
be quite q demand for it further East.
The dealers profit on the one-cent papers
is half O cent, and this is often lost for lack
OF the coin. 1t is a very popular way with
retail dealers to mark the goods SO az to
have the half.cent, which always goes to
the seller. There was o half-cent coin in
this country forty years ago, and some OF
them are seen in collections. Most OF the
European countries have q small coin.
Switzerland has the centime, only a fifth OF
O cont: Belgium q two-centime piece, and
Germany . quarter Of q cent in the pfennig.
II will be some time yet before even the
one.cent coin will have much respect west
OF the Mississippi, but there are economies
In small coins that tend to prudence, and
are considered factors in accumulations.
They viii eventually be used in all sections.
Out here In the far Northwest, where
nothing smaller than the "nickle" or
fve-cent piece is aver seen, it seems
somewhat preposterous to ask the gov
ment to make a coin Of the value of half
q cent. Yet. the fact that even a small
minority unites In asking for such a
means Of exchange shows that one Sec
ton Of the country cannot fairly Judge
Of the needs OF another section.
This is only another evidence Of the
great diversity Of needs. wants, POSSIBLE
tiles and requirements of this great
country of ours. And 1t ought to teach
the lesson of federation, of ace and
peculiarities and even of the
idiosyncracies Of the people.

LICENSE Is NOT LIBERTY.
,avs thu Spokane Falls "Chronicle,

80
In the convention at Helena yesterday q
proposition was introduced in relation to
the observance of the Sunday law, and
asking that religious people should choose
their own day Of worship, and NOT dictate
to other creeds. The free observance OF
Sunday, zach individual in his own way. is
one OF the corner stones Of the Republic,
but there must be some limit to the license
allowed. II would be q great mistake II
Montana Incorporated theidea Of unlimited
license in this regard.
UNLIMITED licensed" What is that,
anyway? Strictly, license Is the grant
ing OF permission to act, and hence is
the opposite Of freedom, as the latter is
liberty to act under ones own volition.
People who are afraid of liberty are eter-
nally talking about license" as though
the latter meant the most unrestricted
and unbridled freedom, whereas 1t really
means the exact opposite.
The people who object to the incorpo-
ration of the Puritan blue laws in the
constitution of Montana, are asking for
liberty, not license. They want to enjoy
Sunday, the great day Of rest, al they
individually prefer. This is the Ameri-
can idea Of liberty. Solongas the rights
of others are not invaded, the utmost
freedom should be allowed, and that
which impinges on another's rights on
Sunday would really do the sameo on Mon
day. o>'.t
There is not much danger of the con-
stitutional convention incorporating the
idea of unlimited license" If it gives
the people an instrument such, az. that
designed by the trainers Of the first
American instrument of this character
in which Thomas jefferson took a leading

IN ACCOMPLISHED THIEF.
He Makes a Successful Descent on the Of

He Makes a Successful Descent on the Of
fee of Drs. Shulz s. Tam.
There is evidently at least one sneak
thief in the city who is no novice in his
rather peculiar line OF business as indicated
by a little job which he did yesterday
evening. Drs. Shulz & Tam, whose
office is on West Granite street, were the
victims OF the gentleman's high profession
al tact and skill.
When the two doctors returned from din
ner, about 6 o'clock yesterday they found a
note lying on a desk in the reception room Of
their office; written on one OF Singers ply
sician's prescription blanks. The note was
written in ink and addressed to DR.. Shulz
and read as follows: please send by bear.
er a syringe and needles as I need them
badly" and was sigued Skinner, NJ. D."
Immediately underneath and written with
a lead pencil was the following: "Dr.
Shulz, 1 found it and will bring it back as
soon as operation is performed"
The doctors now began to look around
and found that an aspirator belonging to
DR.. Shulz and several surgical needles were
IuiSbtuRs l. UuCI 6CdICu ul6CoSCICu tudO
an alligator valise, a ni~ckleplated, double
action Colts revolver, arubber overcoat, q
pair Of gold cuff buttons, sett of studs
and various other articles, all the property
OF DR.. Tam, we're also missing. The most
serious loss to the doctor. however, and
one which he cannot repair, is that the
thief carried away a quantity OF notes aid
prescriptions which he obtained while at.
tending college at Philadelphia. The notes
were in the valise and the doctor mourns
more for them than for n thing else taken
by the sneak and would be greatly elated
should they be returned to him either by
the fellow who stole them or by some per-
son who may find them, for the thief, no
doubt, has thrown them away ere now.
The aspirator is an instrument usei by
physicians to draw off liquid matter from
cavities, and DR.. Shulz thinks that pos
sibly the thief might have wanted it to
relieve himself of a quantity of the
immense gall which he must be packing
around.
The first part of the note found was
evidently written as a blind by the thief,
nc doubt intending to present it in case he
found some one in the Office. The loss
sustained by the doctors aggregates almost
5000.

THE DANCER LURKING IN MILK

THE DANGER LURKING In MILK.
There is q lesson worth needing for
milk users and seekers after the tooth
some ice cream.
A Des M0ines, Iowa, dispatch says that
o sample Of the ice cream which did such
wholesale poisoning at Adair on the
Fourth, was sent to the state board Of
health, and has been submitted to an ex-
pert chemist, who found that the milk
was impregnated with tyro toxicon, in
other words, it was q case OF milk pois-
oning, there being no trace Of either
zinc or tin, and the vanilla flayoring
which was supposed to be the cause OF
the poisoning, was found to be entirely
pure.
Professor Vaughn Of the Michigan state
university was the first to discover the
fact that milk frequently, in undergoing
decomposition, becomes very poisonous,
he applying the name tyro toxicon to
such poison.
In early days there was 3 great preya-
lence in Indiana and Illinois Of what
was known as milk sickness which, now
that greater light is thrown upon the
subject, is known to have been caused
by the presence Of tyro toxicon in the
milk.
The placing of warm milk In cans and
hauling it a distance OF four or five miles
Is likely to cause such q decomposition as
produces poison, though it does not al
ways have that effect. v4.9 J.

A Now Style Of Cars.

The Northern Pacific has just received
twenty new colonist sleepers from Barney
Smith & Co.. that are models of beauty,
convenience and comfort, and contain
many improvements over the ordinary
c~olonist sleeper, or so-called tourist car,
generally in use.
Each car has fourteen sections with
gentlemen's toilet room in one end, and the
ladies' room, supplied with handicapped
washstand and force pump, in the other.
In one end of the car is a Baker freprooi
heater, which heats the al by means OF
hot water conducted through pipes. - To
range surrounded by good kitchen facilities.
Opposite this range is a twenty gallon
cooler for drinking water. also q large
tank holding seventy gallons Of water for
general use.l taEf no III roaf, .rH5d-
These cars are finished in natural woods,
lash, maple and MISUNDERSTANDING
polished, and at night are lighted up with
eight Acme lamps exactly similar to those in
use on Pullman sleeperss The sections are
divided by sliding head.boards, effecting q
privacy not possible in the present style Of
cars where the sections are separated by q
wire netting. An Ingenious arrangement of
the seats enables them to be extended fat
or with head rests when prepared for bed.
ding, and under each seat is q box in which
can be stored bedding or small baggage.
In each section there is also provided q
movable table similar to those in use in
Pullman cars, which is extremely conven-
lent for many purposes, All ears are pro-
vided with curtain rods. ~ ,r1.s
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Northern Pacific employees a porter to
look after these sleepsrs, all holders of sec
opd class Montana and Pacific coast tick,
cts are allowed to use them free OF charge.
The Northern Pacific has q greater number
of these sleepers in service than any other
transcontinental line, their total equip
ment now amounting to SO cars. It is
clear that in providing for the comfort OF
the travelling public, the Northern Pacific,
with its new vestibuled dining and sleeping
cars and superior accommodations for
class passengers, leads all its com.
