REGISTRY AND ELECTIONS.

Councilman William NJ. Thompson, OF
Deer Lodge county, has declared himself
In favor Of a registration law for the
territory Mr.. Thompson recognizes
some Of the imperfectiOns OF the bill
which was before the last legislature.
and. among other things, suggests as an
amendment that the registration books
be not closed until within two weeks or
ten days Of the election.
A registration law In more necessary
In the cities than in the country dis
tricts, where most OF the voters are per-
sonally known TO the judges OF election.
The opportunities for fraud In the cities
far outnumber those In the country, aud
there the preventive measures should be-
vigorously ppplied. An amendment to
the election law which will 0blige clti-
zens TO vote in the townships wherein
they reside will effect the principal re-
form needed In the country. A good
registration law for cities and the estab-
lishment OF voting places sufficient to
enable all voters 10 deposit their ballots
in n decent and orderly manner will do
much for the publication Of elections.

IhE MONROE DOCTRINE.

In debate on the Panama canal ques-
tion In the senate, week ago. Mr. Tel
Ter. OF Colorado, expressed the opinion
that the resolution enunciating the Mon
roe doctrine was not timely, but that II
should have been proposed and adopted
years ago; that the people OF France,
whose money had been invested In canal
stock to the amount OF $30O,OOO,0O0,
would require their government TO take
up the work where De Lesseps is leaving
of, In order that they might not lose
what had been put into the scheme.
The Monroe doctrine Is not, as Mr.. Tel
ler's remarks would imply. a new one,
especially 10 the French, whose unhappy
experiences In Mexico should have
taught them that this government is
not disposed to permit the establishment
OF any European power on this eonti-
nent The United States will not in
terfere with any proper enterprises OF
European corporations ON the western
hemisphere, but II cannot and will not
permit OF the French or any other old
world government assuming the owner
ship OF a water way or any inch OF ter
ritory on this side OF the ocean. The
French had ample means OF knowing all
this, and the United States cannot be
blamed II their investment In Panama
stock has proved disastrous to indiyid.

Tne lNoIANA WRANoLE.

In refusing TO acknowledge the right
OF Mr.. Robertson to preside over the sen
ate as lieutenant governor, the Indiana
democratic senators are maintaining a
consistency with their action In 1887,
during the contest for the United States
senatorship which resulted IN the elee-
tiOn OF Judge David Turpie, democrat,
over Gen. Harrison. A vacancy had oc-
CURED In the Office OF the lieutenant
governor by the resignation OF Gen.
Manson to accept an appointment under
the department OF Justice The laws OF
Indiana were not explicit upon the ques-
tion OF how a vacancy in the office should
be filled, and on the strength OF an
opinion endered by the attorney general
OF the state that there could be no cleo
by popular vote, but that the president OF
the senate should be ex eflicio lieuten-
ant-gOyernor Of the state, the democrats
made no nomination for the office.
The republicans took the opposite
view OF the case, and nom
mated Robertson for lieutenant
governor As he was the only candidate.
he received all the votes cast at the polls,
and the republican state canvassing
board reported Mr.. Robertson duly cleo
ted. When the legislature met the re-
publicans and democrats were tied on
Joint ballot for United States senator,
with two or three independents voting
by themselves, and II WAS known that In
case Robertson was seated he would cast
the deciding vote, which fact made the
democrats dOubly anxious 10 prevent his
installment In the Office. After long
contest, lasting until Feb. 2, MEM
Der who had been "on the fence"
fell over into the democratic camp and
Turpie was elected. Republicans
claimed that RobertsOn's exclusion in
validated the election OF Judge Turpie,
and threatened contest before the
United States senate. but II was never in
stituted, thus forming tacit admission
that the position Of the democrats was
correct. Mr.. Robertson has. however. re-
tained the occupancy Of the ofliceof lieu
tenant-goyernor with all the emolu-
ments and dignities appertainlng
thereto.
The position taken by the democrats
from the outset was the rational one,
considering the constitution OF the
United States In It's application to va
cancy occurring in the Office Of vice.
president and the usage In all the states.
The laws OF Indiana were not, as said In
the outset, explicit upon this point, but
the democrats contention has been sus-
tained wherever II has been brought {
an issue. Had Gen. Harrison thought
the election OF Judge Turpie illegal he
would have considered II his duty TO en-
ter contest in theUnited States senate
where, the majority being OF his own
party, he would have had odds Ia favor
OF uDseating the democrat. Gen. Harri.
son very evidently conceded the legality
OF Judge Turpie's election.

A Good Crop of Snakes.

Bottom. Her sou Thomas, who farms
the place, and other workers IN the har-

This is hard on the cops, but it ought
certainly to afford some relief to the har-
vester, as nothing is much more certain
to make man tired than copperhead
snake when it gets inside his bootleg.
