THE FIFTY-sECOYD CONGRESS.

One week from next Monday the Fifty
second Congress of the United States will
convene in regular session. 1t has not only
the routine burden Of business upon its
shoulders, but a multitude besides. In the
first place, the now dominant party in all
branches of the government has been out
of power in the popular branch Of Congress
for several years, and has had merely a
nominal preponderance in the Senate, in
which body its ascendancy will be slightly
reinforced. but not sufficiently to enable
the Republicans to count with certainty
upon the carrying out Of extreme party
measures by any means.
1t will doubtless be an interesting and a
long session, not perhaps drawn out to the
extent Of the last ''long term,'' because
that beat the record. The reason why it
did so was because Of the fact that the
party spoken of was devising ways and
means whereby it could return to power
and struck the point it was aim
ing at in antagonizing the MILLS
tariff redu ction bill BY prolonging the
arguments, the features o debate gen
orally, and appealing in all respects TO the
prejudices of the ignorant and the selfish
ness of the more grasping and greedy in
our midst, while falsely and maliciously
branding the bill as free trade measure,
everything in temporary sense was to be
looked for, and it was really the Republi
cans only hope, so it is no wo lder that
they took desperate chances; and it should
be further considered that their winning

MONTANA.

The indications point to something of q
"circus' in Montana today. The Demo
cratic county commissioners have taken
possession of the legislative halls, expelled
the ianitor. put new locks on all the doors
placed trusted watchmen in charge OF al
the approaches and turned the keys of the
place over TO Governor ToOLE. So far
the work must be pronounced good. Al
noon to day the first legislature of the state
is to meet the chief business of the session
being the election of two United States
Senators. 1t is probable there will be two
bodies. in which event neither can do bust
ness as there will not be a quorum for
either in the Senate. The Democrats
having control of the Legislative
chambers will undoubtedly meet there,
and their organization will, in all prob,
ability, be recognized by the governor as
the regularly constituted assembly. We
say this because Governor ToOLE has the
reputation of being firm, square man who
will do right under all circumstances. The
Democratic house will doubtless admit the
members of their party from Silver Bow
county who were counted out by the Re
publican commissioners, and will thus
have a quorum, though unable to DO bust
ness owing to the inability of the upper
house to organize,
1t is observed that movement is on foot
looking to a compromise, the terms bein
the division of the legislative offices
equally and the giving of u Senator to each
party. 1t is to be hoped that the Demo
Gratis will not for a moment entertain the
proposition They have won and are en-
titled to all the fruits of victory, or have
lost, and the honors and "spOils" belong to
the Republicans. A compromise and an
apportionment of the offices will not right a
wrong, nor be just to either party. If the
Democrats are right, as the returns show
they are, they cannot afford to trade and
traffic with the enemy. and thus east a
doubt upon the validity of their claim and
display distrust Of their professed honesty.
More is involved than two senatorships
and the few legislative offices to be dis
tributed The question is whether or not
the right of the majority to rule
shall be respected and enforced. 1t
is a question of the willingness OF
the repreSCn JdIlNeS VI JUG u4dlOl4lS VI OHS
people to submit to an open and unblush-
ing theft by the minority. If the Demo
Gratis shall submissively yield, allowing the
robbery to succeed they will prove them
selves unworthy the confidence of the
voters who elected them.
But let us expect and hope that the Dem
ocrats will be as brave and true as the oc
casion demands. They have it in their
power to save the honor of the new state,
and prevent the success Of one of the most
infamous political crimes ever attempted.
The President has done his utmost to help
the men who are trying to steal the state,
but by firmness ana courage theDemocrats
can thwart the the thieves AID make the
Presidents hasty action avail his party

THE LIBERAL SPLIT.

lis not to be wondered at that there are
! disconnected and disguised ones among the
young contingent of the Liberal party. 1t
would be surprising if there were not dis
content and disgust among them. There
are not many of these young men, it is true,
but all there are who possess ordinary in
! telligence must begin to feel that they are
in the wrong boat while sailing in the Lib
eral craft as at present guided. Whatever
may be the opinion of the Utah born boy
of the Mormon religion he knows that his
! father is loyal to the government, anC
when the young mans party charges his
parent with traitOrous sentiments and de
CARES that the fact that he is mem
| Der of the Mormon church should deprive
him of American citizenship, the youth
necessarily feels that he has not surround
ed himself with a cong enial element. His
! self-respect impels him to get clear Of thC
crowd and find associates more to his liking
| Then again, these misguided young mel
are beginning TO ask themselves what they
are getting in return for the services they
render the Liberal party. They search in
ever been shown considerayio by the Lib
eral party, or who has received anything in
the shape of a reward for anything he may
have done. THE HERALD can name score
or more of young men who for years
have been very active in the
Liberal ranks, but none of the
political crumbs have ever fallen into their
mouths. In some instances, where they
have sought preferment or place to which
they thought they were entitled, their
claims have been opposed and denied by
the leaders of the party. Some OF these
young men are beginning to think that &C
tivity and earnestness should be rewarded
by something more substantial than pats
on the back, and the more they think in
this vein the wider will be the breach be-
tween them and the carpet-bag crowd
which has taken entire control of the Lib
eral party.
That there VIII b. split in the ranks,
the Utah born young men withdrawing
from the organization which has no use for
them after they have cast their votes, seems
almost certain. The break will not be
formidable, as matter of course, as there
are not many Utah young men acknowl-
edging allegiance to the carpet-bag outfit,
the great majority of the youth here being
proud to train under the banners of the
People. But few in number as they may
be. the young men who come out from a
party which is actuated only by the hope
of spoils, and which is devoid of gratitude
as it is without honesty or decency, will
show their good sense. They may be un-
able to achieve anything for themselves,
but they will have the consciousness of
knowing they have not been used to aid a
bad cause.

ability that Senator ALLIsoN's successor
will be other than himself, although there
is bare possibility that enough dissatisfied
Republicans can be found in the legislature
to defeat him. Democrats as well as Re
publicans would appreciate the loss, not
only to Iowa but to the entire west. SEN
ator ALLISON is one of the best posted men
in the country, and as chairman of the
committee on appropriations holds posi-
sion which makes him of almost inestim-
able value to the west. From ALLISON to
ANDERSON! What fall it would be to be
sure" Let US hope that the regrets of
such Democrats as those spoken of viii
not be considered just now, and that the
experiment of running the government for
a few years without ALLISON may be tried.
A Democratic Senator from Iowa would
more than Offset the Republican Senator
from Delaware.
