"A Notable Demonstration of the True
Ministry of Wealth.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 23.-One of the most
notable religious events that will occur
in this city tomorrow is the dedication
of Neidringhaus Memorial Hall, situated
on the northwest corner of Seventh
street and Cass avenue. The dedica-
tiOn will be attended with great pomp
and ceremony, in which many of the
visiting Bishops of the Methodist Epis-
copaI church will take an active part,
and all the Methodist clergy in the city
will be present. A complete programme
has not yet been arranged, but the man.
ayers promise that it will be one of great
interest.
The structure is one of the finest built
for its purpose in the West. 1t is also
one of the largest, the froat elevation
occupying 81 feet on Cass avenue by 109
on Seventh street. 1t is constructed of
the best quality of pressed brick, elabo-
rately trimmed with brown stone and
granite. In the basement there is a
large dining hall, which occupies the
entire area of the building, except the
space apportiOned off for a kitchen. It
is an extra large kitchen, with a
large range and all other modern de-
vices for cooking. Almost the entire
first floor will be taken up as a library
and reading-roOms, with ceilings over
ten feet high. The second floor is Writ
ually one large hall, portion of it be-
ing partitiOned off as an infant Sunday
school room by sliding doors, which
when opened, throws the entire area in
to one hall, 60 by 100 feet. Galleries
surround the hall, which lend a church.

rear of the hall there is a stage,
with all necessary equipment for
entertainments, etc, 25x18 feet. On

Pa, has been transferred to this confer
ence especially to take charge of this
work. The minister's salary, as we'll
as all other expenses of this mission,

A. M. TH0RNBURGH the other evening
at Helena meeting called for the s'Alpha
and Omega OF Montana republicanism-
Col. McCutcheon." This is severe on the
wbeel-horses who were slaboring in the
vineyard" before Col. McCutcheon came
out to accept fat office, but let that pass.
The colonel made the profound argument
that Montana ought not to choose demo
Gratis as United States senators because
they would be minority in the senate!
There was time when wings and repub-
licans were in minority but their sup
porters did not deem it unwise to elect
them. "The Alpha and Omega" may
worship majorities, but we hold that
Montana should at all times elect able
men-men Of principle-whether they
will be in minority or not. All the
republican senators are notso hide-bounG
as to be proof against the arguments o
democratic senators who know what they
are talking about.

SPREAD THE LIGHT.

1t is in the light of the present that the
democracy ask the people Of Montana to
Judge the merits of their candidates Will
they serve Montana loyalty and honestly?
Have they the capacity to uphold our
interests in the legislative or executive
departments of government? Is their
record honorable and above reproach?
These are the questions which democrats
and republicans are asking. As regards
the democratic candidates the answer
must be in the affirmative. The public
services of Maginnis ard Toole are too
well known to the people of north Mon.
tana to be called in question now.
The democratic ticket has stood the
test of public scrutiny. All that mud
slingers could gather with their muck
rakes has not shaken it-in the public con
ficence. Because it is noble ticket and
will be elected by triumphant majority
on October 1st.

Coon news continues to come IRON
Boston concerning the wool trade. Ac-
cording to wool circular, "there are
signs of rather better feeling in the
wool market, and from the number OF
manufacturers looking about, and the
interest displayed, the indications are,
that the improved trade, which we pre-
dicted as likely to come during Septem-
ber, is in a fair way To materialize, and
that during the next sixty days consider
able wool will change hands. Prices are
nominally about as they were a week
ago, but the largest sales that have been
made have been effected by a light shad-
ing in values, and this shows that at a
price good many consumers are prepar'
ed to operate, and that, as rule, manu-.
facturers' supplies are as small as has
been generally supposed" We are told
also that the goods and yarn markets
continue unchanged, but commission
houses are more cheerful and the general
outlook is steadily improving. The sales
in the week ended September 7 were
s672,O0O pounds, or $4,000 pounds great
er than those of the previous week. The
quotations for Montana wool are lower
than might be expected from the prices
paid here, but we presume that our best
clips have been sold long ago on ''pri
vate terms" to leading mills.

REGISTRY AGENTS PAY.

1t is asserted that McClelland was en-
titled to pay as registry agent from Au.
gust /, because We presume he qualified
about tnat time. There is not the least
warrant for such assertion. The law ex-
pressly declares that the agent may be
paid by the day or by the name, but in
no case can his pay exceed five dollars
per day. McClelland saw fit to put in
his bill for 5S7 names at % cents each
and the commissioners allowed him the
full amount claimed-$146.75.
The clear meaning Of the law is that
the registry agent shall be paid for the
time he1s actually at work. The law
says that registry agents "shall enter up
on their duties not later than August l.,
1885," but shall not begin registration
until August 10. The same law-section
2-declares that the agents 'shall hold
their offices until June 4, 1890, and until
their successors aresappointed and quali=
fed" 1t follows that each agent shall
be on duty until June 4 next, as much as
he was on August l, but no one will con
tend that he is to receive $5 per day for
all that time.
1t is also said that McClelland has
arranged with Del Chowen to do tran
scriblng and will graciously charge the
county nothing for it. This has nothing
to do with the over-charge Of S6G.75- the
| difference between $50, the highest sun

MAGINNLS OR CARTER?

Martin Maginnis the candidate for con
gress is statesman of broad mind and
large experience. He would command
respect in an assemblage Of the strongest
and ablest men.
In the time that tried mems souls he
was true to the union cause. At Gettys-
burg and on other battle-felds he de-
Tended the starry flag and won victory
from warriors worthy of his steel.
In later years he has striven to remove
the bitterness of civil strife and re-unite
our people in spirit as we'll as name. He
has spoken eloquent tributes to the mem
ory Of Grant, Of Thomas, of Hancock and
of Sheridan whom he loved so we'll.
These mastery orations have made the
people prouder than ever Of the War vet
Grams and have served to remove the
asperities which survived the surrender
Of Lee. They have added more than on,
gold and silver to the rencwn Of Montana
and convinced people that she has grea
men as well as great rivers and lofty
mountains. r$ .
Beside Martin Maginnis his opponent
Thomas H. Garter, is small indeed. HI
is simply spokesman. He has shown nj
capacity to rise above the ways and art
of the politician. He has no war record
He has rendered no public services. II
was cold when statehood was at stake
He was energetic only in displacin
worthy men such as Governor Leslie. H
has never said a good word or done
kindly act for Great Falls or Cascad
county. He is unknown outside Of Hele
ma and in congress would be lost amid th
herd of oliticians. He is not the ma
for the hour-the man qualified to reprf
sent worthily the great state Of Montan'
The man who will do so worthily is Ma

THE REGISTRY.

Tie people of Great Falls have done
their duty as regards registration. They
have responded nobly to the appeal OF
the democratic state committee which
called upon the democrats OF Montana to
register. Our people have shown in this
matter ability and energy which entities
this to the rank of the banner city OF
Montana. The republicans supposed
that many hard working democrats would
neglect registration in order to save, time
and money, but to their credit. they left
work, when necessary, to place their
name on that register which is their title
deed to the franchise. Day after day
men grim with the smoke of the factory
might be seen coming in the dusk Of the
evening to record their names. Some
would draw from their pockets citizens
papers which they had not needed since
they came to the territory, for Montana
welcomed the stranger to the ballot box
as we'll as to her broad acres and mines.

have gone hand in hand to the registry
agent determined to he entitled to vote
for Toole and Maginnis, They submit
ted readily to the cross examination Of
republican agents, being fully resolved
that no technicality should impeach theil
right to vote.
As the result of this patriotic ardor
the registry lists are full Of democratic
names. The loss on account OF the reg
istry law will be light. 1t will be lightel
still if the few democrats who have mo-
registered hasten to the agents office ane

for themselves and say If McClelland was
entitled to more than So per day for the
time he was actually employed in regis

for the amount of work done-the writ
ing of 5S7 names. We submit that until
this matter is righted McClelland ought
not expect any votes for the responsible
position Of county treasurer.
