We learn from o Democrat that
the announcement IN the Gdzette
last week stating that Josh Lull will
remain in the county and be can
didate for Member this fall, is not
correct. The gentleman in CONVEX
sation called our attention to a
similar announcement made by that
paper lust before last Falls election
in which 1T stated that q certain
party would not be a candidate for
office, and said that there was just
as much truth in the former state
ment as the one just made. Judg-
ing from the break Streby made in
his article last week in reference to
the Republican county convention
convening at LaPorte recently, we
imagine that the boy is not alto
oether balanced in the upper
story. The editor in chief must
have been absent from home when
this unparalleled blunder was put in
print. Had the article purported
anything but slur, we would have
oiven it but little attention, but the
idea of man racking his brains (?)
to say something which he con-
sidercd smart, containing such a
fool-head-blunder as did this article
then we say that the purporter is
beyond recognition among the
editors of the present age.

In Lathrop, No., on Feb. 1G, the
temperance women called meeting
and resolved to break up the saloon

open saloon doors and demolishing
whiskey barrels and beer bottles in

CATION was composed of the best
families of the town in which were
so women with their husbands in
league, but who refused to aid IN
doing the work. They say, how
ever, that they will shoot the first
man who attempts to arrest single
women who took part in the affair.
The saloon keepers, with blood in
their eye have vowed that each and
every one who took part in the
scheme shall be brought to justice.
The cause of the riot is supposed toj
have originated from murder which
was perpetrated on the 9th of Jan.
caused by whiskey obtained at one

come of this rash act will be looked
for with interest by the community
at large.

A recent decision of the courts
maintains that if man wants to go
faster than another ahead of him on
the road he is going, he has right
to pass, and if he is prevented by
the other, and an accident should
happen thereby, the man thus OBJ
structing the road is responsible for
the damage done. No man has the
right to infringe upon the rights of
others, however, in trying to pass.

truthful. Ignorant not to know the

promising to visit upon them the ex-
treme penalty of the law. The Rus

at all times and all at hazards. and We are
therefore compelled to that
the Turkish officer and the five Turkish

allowed to depart in peace, or with a
mild reprimand at most. The fault
lies not SO much in the kissers as in the

ignorant of Turkish fashions or pur-
posely disregarding them, went down

WEDNESDAY. MAY Is, 1880.

The STANDARD is advised by its
special correspondent in Washington
that there is money in the federal
treasury to which Montana Is entitled
but which has not been ever SO much as
asked for. Some time ago a request
was made of the house appropria-
tions committee to allow Montana
$1,000 in the sundry civil service bill
for expenses incurred OF account of the
constitutional convention in excess OF
the amount appropriated in the en-
aiding act. II appears that members
of the committee have made inquiries
and they discover that this state has
1925 of the original appropriation
still TO its credit, and there is nothing
on file in the department to show that
any extra allowance is needed or has
been asked for. The fault appears to
lie with the secretary of state and the
auditor who have neglected to prefer
any demand or even to draw the money
originally appropriated. We predict
that when the state offices come
this side the range, no dollars belong
ing to Montana will be left to idle away
their time in the treasury vaults at
Washington.

THEY WILL BE THERE,

Flushed with victory all along the
line, the National Brewers Association
in convention assembled mt the ma
tiOnal capital last week took occasion
to rejoice with an exceeding great joy
over the overthrow of prohibition and
the consequent prospects of peace,
plenty and prosperity. Being in this
happy mood ii Is not surprising that
the brewers took steps to present an
exhibit at the worlds fair of such i'm
posing proportions that II will not only
be in the nature of a celebration over
the fallen enemy, but will give the
world at large an adequate conception
of the greatness and grandeur of the
beer industry Al developed in America.
II is proposed to erect a gigantic brew
cry on the exposition grounds, complete
i'm every detail, ITO show" as the presi-
dent of the association declared in his
able, annual address, mot only the
progress made by us since the Centen-
NAL Exposition of 1876, but also to
show by practical demonstration to the
largest number of people possible how
the great national beverage is manu-.
featured"
by what right the association has
decreed beer to be the great national
beverage" does not appear, unless, as is
probable, the claim is based on internal
statistics showing that the
consumption of beer is of such gigan-
tic proportions as to dwarf the output
of all other gin-mills. If this way of
figuring is accepted, the conclusion
reached is true enough, and the United
States must take its proper place along
by the side of b~eer-guzzling Ger
many instead of making as its boon
companion either wine bibbing France
on the n hand or a~le-absOrbing En-
gland on the other. It has been hoped
in some parts of the country, especially
in Kentucky, that the Uuited States
In choosing its national beverage
would not be a servile imitator of any
other nation but would assert its indie.
pendence I'm this as in all other things
by setting up a liquor of its own. Nor
has this hope been entirely abandoned.
The advocates of whisky are numerous
and e%nterprising. They point with en-
thusiasm to the fact that the increase
in the manufacture of that popular
beverage is n hundred per cent. more
rapid than the growth of population.
But for the present mt least, the claim
of the National Brewers association
cannot well be denied: and this being
the case, the manufacturers of "the
great national beverage" are naturally
DESTROYS of making a showing ut the
worlds exposition commensurate with
the magnitude and Importance of the
subject. And If the manufacturers de-
eide to go a step further, and, i'm addi-
tition to showing how beer is made,
put the product on tap 81 as to afford
all visitors proof of its excellence,
then the exhibit of the National
Brewers association will he by long
odds the most popular and attractive
on the grounds.
