Tha Montana Case.

The refusal Of the President to wait until
the question whether the legislature IL
Montana is democratic or republican wa:
decided before issuing his proclamation ad,
hitting that territory as a state excites 8
/ great deal Of unfavorable comment il
democratic circles. 1t looks very much as
if the President had determined that tbs
senators from Montana should be repub-
licans.
The legality of the returns from TIE
Tunnel precinct. Silver Bow county, are
being questioned in the courts. On these
returns depends the complexion Of the
are counted as cast, the legislature will be
| democratic. aud two democrats will be
elected to the United States Senate. II the
votes Of that precinct are not counted the
| legislature will be republican. and repub-
licans will be elected to the United States
Senate
The canvassers of the votes in the Silver
Bow county were republicans, and they
threw out the votes Of the Tunnel precinct
on technicality. The democrats carried
the matter into the territorial circuit court,
and that tribunal ordered the votes 10 be
counted. Toe republicans took an appeal
to the territorial supreme court. The
judges OF that court were appointed by
President Cleveland, and are probably
democrats. There is no reason to think,
however, that they could have been induced
TO reader partisan decision.
BY admitting Montana before this matter
was settled, the election case, it is under
stood, was taken out of the hands of the
the territorial court and placed in that of
the newly elected supreme court This
court Is composed of republicans, and the
impression is that it will decide against
counting the Tunnel precinct votes, thus
making the legislature republican and in
surfing the election of two republicans
to the United States Senate. II
it turns out, as suspected, that the
President issued his proclamation in order
TO get an unfair partisan advantage by
means that cannot under any circumstances
be defended, he will have put a blot upon
his administration that he will never be
able to erase, and that will make him as
much an object of contempt in the eyes of
the people as the fraud of 1876 made Mr.
Hayes.
OF course, if two republicans should be
elected senator's from Montana under
such circumstances, the democratic sena-
tors would not consent to their
admission to the Senate without a
very thorough investigation, and
If, in such an investigation, the facts should
turn out to be that they were elected
through sharp practice, the Presidents posi-
ton would be far from an enviable one.

Mr.. E. Berry Wall, who is known as the
king of the dudes in New York, was again
brought into court the other day to show
cause why he should not pay his tailor, and
in the course of the examination some in
teresting facts were brought out. Wall
Indignantly denied that he had any occupa-
ton. He thought it was degrading to
work He had dudish ideas about work.
He managed to live by making bills whic h
he could not pay, and by recommendin e
certain articles to his admirers. For in
stance, champagne company kept him
supplied with champagne because he was
good enough to call it by name and say to
his friends that it was an excellent wine.
For Wall. sensible people can have nothing
but contempt, but they have pity for the
young woman whom he has made his wife.

The Sunday Whisky Evil.

Our police report yesterday showed that
the number of intoxicated men on the
streets Of this city Sunday was larger than
on any previous Sunday for long time.
1t is quite certain that the drinking of in
toxicating liquors on Sundays in the bar
rooms is on the increase. And it is not
strange that it is If the back doors of bar
rooms are permitted to be open in violation
of the Sunday law, idle men will find their
way as naturally to where they can get
whisky and beer as water seeks its level.
The drunkenness seen on the streets on
Sundays is not the result of whisky pur-
chased on Saturday nights. There is not a
shadow Of doubt that the whisky is OBJ
tanned in the groggeries on Sundays, and is
purchased by the drink. If the law requir-
ing all barrooms to be closed on Sundays
was strictly enforced there would be few,
If any, drunken men on the streets on Sun
days. The money that is wasted in drink
would be used in making homes more COM
Portable and in adding to the pleasures and
comforts of wives and children.
Cannot the law prohibiting the opening
of barrooms on Sundays be enforced? Of
course it can. At least half the bette r class
Of saloonkeepers would like to have it en-
forced. They have said that they would.
but declare that unless all the barrooms are
required to obey the law those who closed
would lose large part of their regular
weekday custom.
There is city ordinance against selling
Intoxicating liquor on Sundays, but it seems
TO be a dead letter. And why? Simply
because those who ought to make public
sentiment don't seem to care whether the
law is enforced or not. 1t is perhaps good
thing to preach sermons to arouse SYM
pathy for the heathens who are
without the gospel, and to collect
money to send missionaries to
them for the purpose of lettering their
condition, but isn't there field, in which
good can be done, right here at home that
is being neglected. If the pulpit were
to join the press in demanding the
closing sof the barrooms on Sundays public
sentiment might become strong enough TO
bring about the enforcement of the ordi-
nance against selling intoxicants on Sun
days.
WIN the Darroom temptation removed,
many of those who now spend their Sun
days in drunkenness might be induced to go
with their wives and children to church.
At present, in many instances, the families
of those men never seq the inside of a
church. because they haven't the means
with which to provide themselves with de-
cent clothing.
1t is impossible to say how great this
evil of drunkenness on Sundays will become
if not checked. Is it not steadily increasing
The police reports indicate that it is. Is it
not time for the voices Of those who believe
in sober Sabbath to be heards If the au-
thorities will not act in behalf of law until
public sentiment compels them, it is time to
awaken public sentiment that will speak
in no uncertain tones.

1t is understood In Washington that the
supreme court vacancy will not be filled
until January. 1t is also asserted that the
President has definitely decided not to ap
point the present Attorney General to fill
the vacancy. The sentiment of the Indiana
republicans is in favor of Judge Woods OF
the United States district court at Indianap-
oils From republican standpoint Judge
Woods certainly deserves something. He
prevented the democrats from showing ex.
actly how Col Dudley bought Indiana for
Harrison last fall.

that there will be numerous candidates for

To know just where to hide it nextl

To find the pocket.

Except, perchance, to carry fruit.

That luscious fruit to man forbid,
But kept the tempting apple hid
