Gordon to Khartoum, Speaks
BERLIN, September 12.-Dr. Fricke, who
accompanied General Gordon to Khartcum
and remained with him until his death,
says Gordon had unlimited confidence in
himself and must have misled the British
astocracy at critical situations. Cor
don's character. says DR.. Fricke,
was as obstinate as it was
noble. His blindness to danger and
his deafness to the warnings OF friends
caused his death. If he had SO desired he
might have escaped two days before the
fall OF Khartoum, with other Europeans
in the place. He was speared by his
own soldiers when he came to inspect
them.

He Is q Republican.

GREAT FALLS, September ia scandal
connected with the registry of voters here
is causing much comment. J. McClelland,
who was registry agent, resigned on being
nominated for county treasurer by the Re-
publicans. He presented bill for $146.75,
charging for 578 names. 1t turns out that
this was an overcharge OF $66.75, because
the law expressly declares that no registry
agent shall receive more than IS per day,
whether paid by the name Or by time. As
McClelland worked only sixteen days he was
entitled at most to $50. The county COM
missioners were aware OF this provision,
but violated it.

THE time is drawing near for a seri-
GUS consideration of the gubernatorial
problem. A few OF the candidates
have enjoyed the honors Of a prema-
ture boom and some more suitable
candidate will doubtless lead in the
race. There is frequent mention OF
Gov. Larrabee for third term, but we
believe that it is not the general desire.
He has been a good governor, has twice
received the honors of the party and
state, and is doubtless satisfied. If the
principles he has SO fearlessly advocat,
ed retire with him they are not worthy
of perpetuation, but if they are in the
interests of true government and the
