WHAT AN ADVERTISEMENT SHOULD Be,
ITS USE AND ABUSE.

AS this is intended for the pros
oective purchaser, not for the in
struction of the advertiser, we
shall limit our remarks to a few
questions and answers suitable to
our purpose.
That judicious advertising pays
is fact no longer doubted by the
wide-awake merchant. But what
is judicious advertising?
An advertisement that is not a
statement of plain facts-that
lacks the impress of unvarnished
truth-that borders on the realm
of fiction such an advertisement
is not only soon detected but as
certainly avoided-no matter how
adroitly the advertiser seeks the
ear of the public.
To gain the confidence of the
public, simply to advertise will
not suffice; the merchant must
keep faith with his customers; he
must do what he advertises, and
have what he advertises. Such
advertisements are sought out by
the reader in the hope that it may
contain an announcement of a
specials bargain offered, or to as
certain the price of something he
contemplates purchasing.
We do not pay out our money
for printers ink because it is a
custom-we calculate its effect,
and estimate the outlay to a pro-
portionate gain.

set by the professors OF the university.
They might be of two grades, the junior
for scholars under IA, the senior Tor
those under II; but this is mere mat
ter of detail. From each candidate a
sufficient fee should be required to pay
the cost of printing and correction OF
papers. The subjects Of examination
and the amount of ground to be covered
should be published year beforehand.
The examination papers, sent under seal
to the local superintendent, should be
opened only in the examination room
and in the presence of the candidates.
The answers, when completed, should
be sealed up in the same way and for
warded to the university authorities,
who would publish the results.
The limits Of an editorial forbid any
thing more than bare outline, and the
details suggested might be improved in
many ways. But most teachers and
parents will admit that some such
scheme as this would be great help to
the cause of education. The university
that first stretches out helping hand
to the west in this o. similar way,
will, without the outlay of dollar, reap
in few years rich re ward.

A New YORK publisher of the rec

given access to the registers of the war
department and the assistance of gov
eminent clerk or two in the work of
compilation, is talking of suing another
publisher for infringement of his copy

itself in this connection: Who gave the
publisher an exclusive right to the facts
contained in records of the government!
II one publisher was privileged to copy

just reason why another should not have
the like privilege. The attitude of the
first publisher is very like that Of some

NO ANSWER.

No answer has been made or can be
OF the facts relating to the unlawful dis
reimbursement of ia workingmen at
precinct "a.
There have been bubbles. There have
been sneers. There has been unwar-
ranted personal abuse. But NO answer.
There can be none, but plea of guilty
on the part of the men who committed
that wrong.
The weak excuse has been offered that
the votes of precinct 81 were thrown out
because the fact that they appear to
have been cast in alphabetical order was
presumptive evidence of fraud. That
feeble plea has been knocked in the
head by the citation of the fact that the
votes at precinct II in the same county
we're also in alphabetical order and were
counted. Why? Because that precinct
gave republican majority.
Another extenuating circumstance Of
fered by apologists for the crime is that
there were only three judges at the pre-
clnct In question instead OF nVe|a
wholly immaterial point and rendered
doubly SO by the fact that the vote
at other precincts where there was not
the full number Of judges was counted
and certified.
No evidence of fraudulent voting at
precinct "a was ever adduced by the Sill.
YER Bow returning board. The board
refused to open the ballots and see il
they correspondent with the returns; it
refused to hear testimony; it declined tx
listen to the truth.
Its action was conceived in fraud, con
summated in fraud.
No evasions of the facts, no quib.
blings, no attempt to divert the discus
sion into personal attacks, SO far as We
are concerned, shall be allowed to draw
the attention of the voters OF the state
from the ono overshadowing issue.
A great wrong has been committed
1t cannot be defended.
It stands virtually confessed. Voters
of Montana, will you condone it by vot
ing for Thomas H. Carter or rebuke il
by electing William w. Dixon?

"FIGHT1NG BOB" KENNEDY folt humil-
lated, no doubt, when the house ex-
plunged from the Congressional Record
his only speech that did not, like drop
of rain falling into the ocean, become
lost in the sea of oratory, to use his own
metaphor. The shock to the Ohioan's
feelings was all the more intense be-
cause he had before publishing his
speech On Senator Quay revised all the
"pizen" out of it. In the REVISED speech
the parallel between Matthew S. Quay
to Judas Iscariot that had made its de-
livery one of the most stirring interests
of the session, was but family traced.
In short, Mr.. Kennedy had sought to
crawl under the band wagon, but was
repulsed with kicks. But sympathy
would be wasted upon this victim OF
congressional courtesy, whose sense OF
the enormity Of Senator and Republican
Chairman Quay's offense in plundering
the Pennsylvania treasury lay dormant
until the senator and republican boss,
for reasonsof policy, interposed to pre-
vent the enactment of sectional cleo
ton law. Had Quay insisted upon put
ting the yoke upon the necks of the peo-
pie as the Harrisons and the Reeds of
the republican party demanded, his pre-
vious SHINING would not have caused the
gorge OF the gentleman from Ohio to
rise, and one of the most noted philippics
of the year would never have been ut
tered. Mr.. Kennedy stood ready to
condone one crime if its perpetrator
would but lend himself to the commits
sion Of greater one.
1t would be pleasant to believe that
Mr.. Quay had seen the error of his way
and, repenting the commission of wrongs
in times past, stood pledged on principle
against government interference in cleo
tions; but it is to be feared his opposi-
ton to the force bill in the congressional
session just closing, was based upon the
question of expediency at the time in
stead Of the broad principle Of liberty OF

CARTER's TREACHERY.
His Doubled Dealing ut . Critical Time In

His Double Dealing at . Critical Time In
the Free Coinage Contest
Anaconda Standard:
Garter certainly was not paired with q free
coinage man. but with q democratic gold bue. ~
Butte Inter Mountain.
ferred to has been given in the Standard,
but the matter must be set right as often as
the facts are perverted by the republican
press. All declarations to the contrary not
withstanding, Mr.. Carter was paired With a
free coinage man, at a time when, out of
due regard for his constituency in this
state, he had no blu siness to be paired with
anybody.
The vote ives the most important taken
during the session. It killed free coinage
by the narrow figure of 12O to III. It was
the best time in the world for Mr.. Carter to
be right in the thick of the fight, urging re
publican congressman from states that
border on our own to stay with Montana
just at a critical moment. There isn't a
doubt in the world that these men would
have stood up for free coinage il Montana's
cause had been earnestly urged upon them,
but Mr.. Carter couldn't urge 1.-THE was
silenced.
And on that day Mr.. Carter was paired
with Mr.. Boatner, democrat who was a
free coinage man. In fact, when the vote
was taken, there was not one democrat in
the entire membership of the house who
voted against free coinage; not one. Be-
fore the result was announced, one demo-
crat changed his vote for purely parlia-
mentry purposes, az the Standard has al
ready shown. Two days later Mr.. Boat
ner's pair was changed from Mr.. Carter to
Mr.. Post. That made q common sense
pair, because Mr.. Boatner was for free
coinage, while Mr.. Post voted constantly
against free coinage until this pair was
made.
These are the facts taken from the testi-
not true that Mr.. Carter was paired with a
gold bug. The bill in question was
evidently hostile to silver. It
was prepared and engineered through
republican caucus and the house
by Speaker Reed, Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Cannon. They soourged republicans
into lioe in support of it. As for Mr..
Carter, who should have fought them face
to face then and there, as did Mr.. Town
send, of Colorado, and nine other republic
cans who dared to bolt the caucus, they
fixed for him pair, never guessing that its
ridiculous features would get before the
people of Montana.
We presume that the Butte Inter Mount
ain has not forgotten what happened-how
all Montana was astonished, and how. two
or three days later, prominent Butte re-
publican rushed through Main street with
dispatches from the national silver COM
mittee, in response to which republicans
and democrats of that city hurried tele-
grams to Washington.
