foundation OF constitutional rights. The
new State will have two Legislatures,
one appointed by the State board, and
the other duly certified to by the county
clerks of the various counties The
history of the Republican conspiracy in
Montana is one of the foulest in the an
nails of politics. By the use of fraudu-
lent afidavits the conspirators, at the
head of whom is the Presidents SON,
sought to subvert the will of the people.
The court decided in favor of the Dem
ocrats, and the Republican State
Board disregarded the decision Of
the courts and went behind the returns.
There is not particle of iusti-
fcation on the part of any canvassing
board to reject properly certified returns,
but the Republicans did not hesitate to
do SO. The Democratic Governor, about
whose election there is no question, will
only recognize the members of the Leg
islature who bear certificates from the
county clerks, authorized by law to issue
the same. The functions of the Repub-
lican State Board of Canvassers are
purely clerical under the law, but they
have made them judicial.
1t is an unblushing attempt at fraud
on the part of the Republicans, and it
will cost them dear, not only in Mon
tana, but in other States. They are
provoking an uprising of the people in
defense of law and Justice that will
sweep them out of official existence.
The most disgraceful feature of the sit
uation is the prominent part taken by
the Presidents son in the outrage, and
the encouragement the conspiracy has
received from the White House. He has
his heart set upon being United States
Senator from Montana, and has left NO
means untried to gain the object of his
ambition. He managed to stock all the
Federal offices in Montana with his per
sonal friends, and he prevailed on his
father to delay issuing proclamation
declaring the Territory a State Of
the Union. The conspiracy can not
succeed. 1t is SO monstrous and in
defensible and is in such plain viola
ton of law that the Indignation of the
people throughout the country will be
too powerful, even for a Republican
Congress to brave. The consequences
of the fraud of 1876 should have warned
the Republicans against any attempt to
subvert the will of the people. The
lesson of the recent election should
teach them that they have no strong
hold they can claim their own against
any assault when the people rise up in
their majesty to rebuke them. Congress
should take early measures to remove
this disgrace, this prostitution of the
powers of the Government for the pur-
pose of enabling the Presidents son to
getinto the United States Senate through
fraud. There should be a searching in
vestigation of these doings of Russell
Harrison and his father. There are
many Republican Senators who are
aggrieved against the Administration
and are ready to pay off old scores when
Congress meets. They could not have 9
better opportunity than in laying bare
this Montana infamy and the share the
Harrisons have had in it. They will GER
tainly serve their party best by repudi-
ating this outrageous violation of law
and making the Harrisons smart for it.

EVOLUTION OF THE VOICE.

The Subject Discussed by England's Great
Throat Specialist.
Darwin seems inclined to believe that,
as women have sweeter voices than men,
they were the first to acquire musical
powers in order to attract the other SEX.
by which l suppose he means that the
feminine voice owes its greater sweet
ness to more persevering culture for
purposes of Irritation. l do hot know
whether the ladies of the present day
will own this soft impeachment, or
whether they will be fattererl by the
suggestion that their remote ancestresses
lived in a perpetual leap-year of court
ship. Other emotions, however, besides
the master passion of love had to be ex-
pressed; Joy, anger, fear and pain had
all to find utterance, ard the nervous
centers excited by these various
stimuli threw the whole mus
cular system into violent con-
fractions, which in the case of the
muscles moving the chest and the vocal
cords naturally produce sound-that is
to say, voice. These movements, at
first accidental and purposeless, in time
became inseparably associated with the
emotional state giving rise to them, so
as to coincide with it. and thus serve as
an index or expression thereof. From
this to the voluntary emission of vocal
sounds is an easy step, and it is probable
enough that the character of those
sounds was primarily due to the ''imi-
tation and modification of different
natural sounds, the voices of other ami
mails, and mans own instructive cries.

FRAUD IN MONTANA.

EePuolican Disregard for Law and Com

The Republicans are showing their
customary disregard for law and consti-
tutional requirements in Montana. Ex-
perience and warnings seem to be
thrown away upon them, for they should
know by this time that the wrath of the
people over such gross violation of
law and justice will be like consuming
lightning to the party when next they
are heard from at the polls. The issue

can handle 100, 900 sheets a day, and
when they count and examine it is not
unusual for them to handle 40, 900. All
errors are reported by the counters and
entered in books. These clerks meet in
the committee-room in the afternoon,
each with an account of the work, and
if these accounts vary, all the workers
stay until the three statements are
verified. This rule is as strictly en-
forced if a single cigar-stamp is missing
as if a $500 note is missing. All the
defective sheets found in the work are
thrown aside after counting, have holes
punched through them to concel them.
and are sent to the Treasury with the
good money.
After the sheets have been counted
and examined they are spread out on
racks, which are piled up and placed in
a compartment called the dry-box, all
the sides of which are lined with steam
pipes, and here they remain all night
drying in the heat.
After the notes are numbered they
are again counted and examined to be
sure the numbers are all correct and in
exactly the place they ought to be, and
to see that not a single sheet is missing.
This necessitates two counts, one by
number, which runs flour, eight,
twelve, SIXTEEN" etc., and one examin-
ing count.
The beautiful gloss and crispness that
you can't help noticing and admiring
when you handle new money is pro-
duced by hydraulic pressure. The
sheets are put between sheets of straw
board and placed in the hydraulic press,
where they are subjected to very high
degree of pressure. After this they are
separated from the stxaw-board, shaken

Flying Under Water.

One of the most water-loving birds
is dainty little songster belonging
to the thrush family, and popularity
known as the water-ousel, or dipper.
This pretty little bird is found in
most parts of the world, and likes
best the neighborhood of those merry
mountain streams which rush bois-
terousy on to their fate, now leaping
headlong over some high rock, now
swirling in some deep pool, and now
eddyirg, dancing, FLASHING down
steep incline. Waterfall, pool, and
eddying stream are alike to the water
ousel, which will dash into one or the
other with the same ready confidence
as the ordinary bird into the air.
In winter, when it's watery home is
frozen over, it will seek other and
milder parts, unless it can be sure of
finding holes in the ice, in which case
it will not hesitate to remain at home,
for it will plunge through hole into
the icy water with no care at all for
temperature, and having made its
venture successful by the capture of
small fish, will return to the air
once more.
So fond is it of the water that it
will build its nest as near to it as pos
sible. and one instance is recorded Of
pair which actually built behind a
waterfall, taking advantage of the
space made by the shoot of the water
over the top of the rock.
Although the ousel uses its feet
while swimming, its progress is chief
" due to the wings, which are moved
exactly as if flying in the air. The
wings are admirably adapted to this
use, being almost as broad as long,
and of comparatively greater power.
The tail is very short, and the body
is covered with soft thick down, which
as in the true Aquatic birds, affords
an impervious shield against the wa
ter.
Like all other birds which casually
or habitually resort to the water, the
ousel seems to regand that element as
its safest retreat in time of danger.
Even the little birds which have new
er before ventured from the nest, and
which are quite unable to fly, have
been known, when alarmed during
the absence of the parents, to rush
pell-mell to the nearest water, and
with extraordinary facility to run

HOW useless nnr lives 8

How useless our lives seem to us
sometimes! How we long for an OPP
portunity to perform some great ac-
ton We become tired of the rou-
tine of home life, and imagine we
would be far happier in other scenes.
We think of life's great battlefield
and wish to be heroes. We think of
the good we might do if our lot had
been cast in other scenes. We for
get that the world bestows no such
titles as noble as father, mother, sis
ter or brother. In the sacred pre-
cincts of home we have many chances
of heroism. The daily acts of self
denial for the good of q loved one,
the gentle word of soothing for an
others trouble, the care for the sick,
may all seem as nothing, yet who
can tell the good they may accom-
plish? Our slightest word may have
an influence over another for good or
evil. We are daily sewing the seed
which will bring forth some sort of
harvest. Well will it be for us if the
harvest will be one we will be proud
to garner. If some one in that dear
home can look back in after years,
and, as he tenderly utters our name,
say: 'Her words and example pre-
pared ne for a life of usefulness, to
her owe my present happiness, we
may well say: Il have not lived in
vain

Our Legal Representatives.

Men represent women, they tell US;
I'd like to know when, if you please?
1t certainly can't be in prayer time;
Few but women are there on their knees.
Perhaps these gentlemen knightly,
When woman commits any crime,
Will at the tribunal of justice,
Represent her with pleasure this time.
But no, in such cases of sadness
A man is scarce to be found;
Each woman must hang for her own self,
Or suffer the jail's weary round.
Well then, pain in sickness,
So often by woman endured,
Will man wish to act as her proxy
Till the pain has by science been lured?
Whoever will ask such question
Meier has seen how a brave man viii act
When cramp takes him sharp in the stomach,
Or rheumatism twists him up in the back.
He'd think he was tortured or dying,
If pain one-hundredth great
Should seize him, as troubles each woman
Many hours both early and late.
Then, too. at the washboard and dishpan,
Or other such dirty, hard work,
No man cares to represent woman,
But prefers toilsome duties to shirk.
Still, if man can't bear pain for a woman,
At the tax list he surely should be
Her proxy, bearing burdens financial,
Or renounce claim to true gallantry.
These cases when mans so retiring,7
If women must suffer or pay,
Surely ought to excuse him from acting
AS her substitute on lection day.
If man wants to represent woman
Let him go the whole figure none,
Be her proxy in debt, crime or trouble
As well as where honors are won.
Better still, let each woman in voting,
AS in work, taxes, sickness, disgrace,
Represent her own self at elections,
And in government find her true place
