A VALUABLE NEWSPAPER.
The Dispatch Pronounced the Most Influen-
tial of Pennsylvania Journals.

From the Roanoke (Ya.) Times.l
Perhaps the most influential paper printed in
Pennsylvania is THE PITIsBURG DISPATCH.
Its daily issue is a clearly written. impartial
compendium of current events, and it may
always be depended upon. 1t has every facility
for news gathering that the century has pro.
duced and its wonderful presses are only
equaled by few metropolitan dailies.
The Sunday edition, a mammoth 20-page
issue, is magazine of the choicest productions
of the best known writer's. Its special features
are not surpassed by those of any journal pub
lished. The journal is especially valuable to
the people of this section whose interests are
now and will in future be almo,t identical with
those Of Pennsylvania

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
NEW YORK. March 24-There is new conn
terfeit ten cent piece in circulation which SO
closely resembles the genuine coin that it can
be easily passed off upon the unsuspecting 1t
differs from the usual counterfeit in that a
genuine silver plating covers the German sill
yer which forms the body of the coin. This
gives it ring" very nearly like that of good
money, and also does away with the greasy feel
ing by which most counterfeits can be detected
The coin bears the date of 1857
Special Officer j. P. Brooks, of the Secret
Service Bureau. says he thinks it is struck upon
a screw press and milled afterward while the
genuine coin is milled at the same time that it
is struck. The milling is not SO deep upon the
counterfeit and the edges are much sharper
than those of a good ten-cent piece. 1t is
thought that there are not very many of the
spurious coins in circulation. as the secret SER
vice men only learned of their existence three
days ago.

The Democratic Credentials.

THOMAS F. COURTNEY. A. II. Day. A. M.
Dussealt. Job w. Gilligan and Joseph
Hogan held certificates of election from the
Clerk of Silver Bow county, took part in the
organization of the Court House Tor Demo-
cratic) House of Representatives and re-
mained members until after the election OF
Messrs. Maginiss and Clark. After reviewing
antecedent legislation upon the subject OF the
election, including the enabling act of Congress.
the ordinances passed by the Constitutional
Convention and the provisions of the old Terri
torial laws, the majority conclude that the Ter
ritorial law providing that the County CLERK
shall issue certificates of election to Repre-
sentatives in the Legislature was superseded
by the ordinance of the Constitutional Conven-
tion which imposed that duty on the State
Board of Canvas5ers, and hold that bray and
his four associates who went to the Iron Hall
with the certificates of the State Board that
they were duly elected from Silver Bow had
the lawful credentials"
Upon the question of quorum, which has
been raised in connection with the case the
committee here say: 1T will appear that It is
purposes of the present case. We believe, for
reasons hereafter stated, that the certihcates
of the State Board declared the true choice OF
the people. as expressed by majority OF the
votes actually and lawfully cast. But, as the
matter has been discussed, it is proper to say
principle between the cause of person claim
ing title to a seat in an assembly whose title is
disputed by some other body, and an assembly
whose character is undisputed. But we think
the credentials of the five Republican members
from Silver Bow are fully supported by the
facts of the election as they are disclosed to US
by the admissions of both sides, and by the un-
disputed and uncontrolled evidence taken in
judicial proceedings taken in Montana and laid
before us by Messrs. Clark and Maginnis."

THE whole inquiry turns upon the honesty
and fairness of the election board at pre-
cinct "a, Silver Bow county. The proceed
ings in relation to the canvassing of the re-
turns of that precinct, camp on the line of the
Butte and Gallatin road. are set forth in detail,
from which the majority conclude that the
State Board of Canvassers did their duty as re-
quired by law But they also think that the
election held at precinct "a, was in tactirregular
illegal and fraudulent. and that this appears
from the records and from the undisputed facts
furnished by Messrs. Maginniss and CLARK.
The whole history shows. the majority say,
that the proceedings at precinct "a had no rela-
ton whatever to the real will of duly qualified
voters, but was fictitious, pretended and with
out validity, either in form or substance. The
copy of the polllist before the committee shows
that the ia voters of precinct "a voted in al
phabetical order. This seems to the majority
conclusive evidence that the whole proceeding
was manufactured.
1--WE have also" the majority say, "the ex-
that while there were 25 different officers voted
for and also a vote for or against the constitu-
ton, everyone of the l74 persons voted for
every one of the officers and for or against the
constitution. We have the further remarkable
and suspicious circumstance that while the pro-
posed constitution was supported by both
parties in Montana, the vote against the con-
stitution was the same within one, as the Re-
publican vote on the offices when the vote was
on the party lines.

The Questions nt Issue.

EIRsT-Whch of the two sets or groups OF
five members claiming to sit for the county
of Silver Bow had credentials from the officer
or board entitled to canvass the vote and de-
clare the result?
Third-If one group of five had the lawful
credentials, but the other group were in fact
elected, which was legally entitled to sit in the
House at its original organization and take
part in all subsequent proceedings until the
House itself had adjudicated their title, there
being in existence two bodies, each claiming to
be the true House.
Thirds there evidence which warrants the
Senate in finding that the persons who had the
credentials were not in fact duly elected?
AS to the first question, which had the law
full credentials, the committee show that A. F.
Bray. P. r. Dotman, F. H. Hoffman, j. II.
Monteath and William Thompson presented
credentials from the State Canvassing Board
of their right to sit as members from Silver
Bow county; they took part In the organization
of the Iron Hall Tor Republican) House of
Representatives and renamed members of that
body until after Messrs. Saunders and Power
were elected Senators.

SENATORS AT STAKE,
Two Reports Made on the Montana Con-
tested Election Case - The Committee
n;vidod Upop Srric, Foraigu lIne.


Divided Upon Strict Foreign Lines.
WASHINGTON, March 24.-The report of the
majority of the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections upon the Montana
election case was submitted to-day by Mr..
Hoar. The majority report gives at the outset
the circumstances surrounding the election of
Messrs. Saunders and Powers by the Iron Hall,
or Republican Legislature, composed of half
the members of the Senate and the Republican
Representatives claiming to be elected; and of
Messrs. Maginniss and Clark by the court
house Legislature, composed of half of the
Senate and Democratic Representatives claim
ing to be elected.
None of the Senators had their election called
in question: but there were two sets Of five
Representatives from Silver Bow county
claiming to be elected. One of these sets.
elected with 25 other Republicans, and eight
Senators voted for Saunders and Powers; the
other set, with "a other Democrats and eight
Senators, voted for Maginnis and Clark.
The case therefore turned upon the question
which of these two sets of five persons was en-
titled to sit IN the House of Representatives,
from Silver Bow county. 1t is not claimed that
there was any adjudication of the House itself
affirming or denying such title. To determine
this question, the report says, the committee
nave been led to consider three others, which,
in their Judgment, disposes of the whole case.

into the flesh Of that unconscious figure.
In An instant the flying sawdust will be
dyed with blood. OF course the man is
rescued from his horribly perilous position
in the nick Of time; but If be were not he
would surely be killed The tragedy would
be real one. The saw is a real saw,
driven by an eight horse power steam
engine, and it is really saving. The man
is a real man and is in real danger. The
scene Is said to be the most thrilling ever
put on the stage, and it seems likely
enough that it is. Few women in the
audience face the stage during the last
few seconds Of the mans peril, and one or
two have tainted under the strain. But
Mr.. Arthur's play is not successful be-
cause OF this scene--it is successful because
the strong acting of Bob billiard, Judith
BerolGe, Jennie Yeamans and the other
actors has such good background.
"The County Fair" like both OF the
other plays, is a simple story of the coun-
try-just what its name indicates. As in
1.-THE Old Homestead" careful attention is
given to details, but the realistic marvel is
in the last act. The whole house is sud
denly darkened, a chatter of hoofs is heard,
and when, an instant later, the lights are
turned on again three thoroughbred race
horses, with jockeys mounted, are revealed
neck and neck and running like mad.
They are really running but they do not
vanish from the view of the audience. The
same principle which is utilized in horse
power thrashing machines is applied here.
They run upon great endless belts, which
are moved by electric motors, and they
have TO run, and run rapidly, too, to avoid
being carried or the stage backward. The
panorama of country behind them and the
low fence between them and the audience
move at the same speed with the ma
chimes on which they run, so that it is as if
the audience were carried around a race
track side by side with the rushing horses.
The accompanying picture gives a cross
view of the stage and some of the ma
chinery beneath it not visible to the audi

HOMESTEAD"
lively demanded by the public as is rapid
transit on the way to the theatre. And it
is right that it should be. The idea that
good scenery weakens good acting by over
shadowing it is nonsense, and the people
who pay to see them both recognize the
fact that it is nonsense. The critics are
right in condemning the many perform
ances which depend on good scenery to
take the curse from bad acting, but they
should stop there. Scenery, of course, is
only an accessory to the work of the per-
formers and should always be regarded as
such. But the same rule applies to actors
which applies to carpenters. Both can
work best if they have the best tools.
There are three plays now running in
New York which show stage realism in it's
as yet highest point of perfection, properly
applied. They are Denman ThOmpson's
Oncle Josh Whitcomb's) "The Old
Homestead" Joseph NJ. Arthur's "Blue
Jeans" and Neil Burgess ''The County
Fair" And the advocate of stage realism
finds pretty satisfactory argument in his
favor in the fact that they are the three
most successful plays in New York city.
1.-THE Old Homestead" is a plain repre-
sentation of farm life and of a certain
phase of life in New York. The realism
lies in fidelity to the details of little things.
AS nearly as is possible all the stage prop
critics" are exactly what they pretend to be.
The agricultural implements, the hen
coops, the hay, the dried apples. the bee
hives-all the stage appurtenances have
really done duty on a farm.
The cradle used in the last act rocked
four generations of Thompsons in the old
house at Swansea where the play is laid.
