SCORE ONE FOR HEALY.

The irrepressible Tim Healy, of the
Irish brigade in the British house OF
commons, has scored a decided hit
against the conservative government.
Discouraged by an ever-swelling tide Of
amendments from the opposition and
the evident lack of outside enthusiasm
in his favor, Mr.. Smith, the leader of the
house, had abandoned position after po-
sition of the local taxation bill, sacrfic-
ing even it's licensing clauses, but finally
made stand on his proposal that the
house should insert in the bill clause
to the effect that funds for the extinc-
ton of licenses should be allowed to ac-
cumulate until parliament could deal
with them. Even such al old parlia.
mentary hand as Gladstone failed to see
the full drift Of the proposal and when
he contented himself with remon-
STRANGE as to the propriety OF the gov
ernment's "ear-marking" this money,
Mr.. Smith stood frmer than ever. But
Mr.. Healy was not to be hoodwinked.
He demanded the ruling of the speaker
whether or not the insertion of such a
clause would comply with the provis-
ions OF the budget bill-that the money
shall be appropriated by bill passed
during the present session. Mr.. Speaker
admitted that it was grave question
whether such appropriation was specific
enough. Certainly, he admitted, he
knew Of no precedent for such an accum
ulation and he left the matter to the de
cision OF the house. The strength O
the unionist party must be decided.
weakening, for Mr.. Smith, after taking
the matter ad avisandum, showed hi
distrust of the houses verdict by an un
conditional surrender, to the huge de
light Of the Irish party.

ON JOURNALISM.

One Discourses ON the Subject Who 10
Authorized to Speak.
Mr.Morley's comments upon contemporary
journalism have the advantage of proceed
ing from distinguished journalist. 1t
would perhaps be caricature of his speech,
or part of it, to say that he defines journal
ism as the supply and demand of market
able mediocrity. If former editor might
be expected to say rather more than Mr..
Morley did for his old craft, Mr.. Morley
did not fall into the vulgar error of depreci-
ating pursuit which he followed so long.
"We have now in England" he said, "a
journalism of the highest kind, vivacity,
an industry, and, will even say, con
scientiousness, which has never before been
seen in journalism" Journalists are quite
as conscientious as politicians, and have
not 80 much temptation to change their
opinions. Mr.. Morley, as might have
been assumed, and as he made clear
in his academy speech, says the Satur-
day Review, hates the tricks of the
poster and the headline, the abusive cpl
thets in big capitals, and the slang, without
wit or sense of which contemporary jour
nalism of certain kind is made up The
public taste, which is much better than
some practitioners upon it suppose, will put
an end to this sort of thing in the course of
time. As to the coinage of new words,
upon which the bishop of Ripon waxed sa-
tirical, there can be no objection to the
process, provided always that it is gradual,
based upon proper principles, and in ac-
cordance with popular usage.
The worst vice of journalism, as of poll
| tics and literature, is ignorance. In the
rush and glare of public events the most
conscientious and competent journalist
must sometimes write on subjects of which
his knowledge is general rather than partic-
ular. In that case he must avoid particu-
lars and confne himself to generalities.
But there is in journalism, not so much in
this or that paper as in portions of nearly
all papers, a want of acquaintance with his
tory, with literature. with politics, with
law, with life, which is really discreditable.
It is seen not merely in vices of style or
even faults of spelling. Such monstrosities
as 1.-THE landlord dined them, but refused to
sleep tbem," ''little is known of what trans
PRED, to say nothing of double. or even
treble, genitives, and words transposed into
nonsense, are apparently past praying
against. There are more serious errors than
these, which spring from unsupplied defects
in education, or from the prevalent habit of
going about the world with blind eyes and
deaf ears. 1t is strange that in an era of
examinations no one has proposed a pass

THE BEEF OUTLOOK.
The Northwestern Live Stock Journal, o.
CheYenne, ON the Situation.

The Northwestern Live Stock Journal, OF
Cheyenne, ON the Situation.
Shippers of corn-fed cattle are somewhat
disappointed at the prevailing low prices on
the markets. Sixty days ago the belief was
general that prices would hold up and stiffen
slightly. But the run to market has been
excessive, and for three weeks the weather
has been 80 extremely warm that market
values were materially affected thereby.
The Journal still believes in permanent
betterment of the cattle business in the
near future and continues to insist that this
is the time to hold tightly to your cattle.
Cheap and abundant corn supplies through
out the west caused almost everything
above year old to be put
on full feed last winter and
as consequence the supply of corn
fed stuff is holding on longer than was an
ticipated. The end of these reosipts is ra p
idly approaching, however, and when they
are all in it will be found that there is an
actual shortage of matured states cattle of
the grass to compete with the fat north
western range cattle.
There will be heavy runs from the Cher
okee Strip and the Indian territory, but
the bulk Of these will not be in close COM
petition with fat northern rangers. Hence:
the really choice steers from Wyoming and
Montana will have to largely take the
place of corn-fed cattle and must bring
good prices. In September and October
they will be about all the fat ones on the
market, and if care is taken to ship only
ripe cattle, there will be no grumbling
about the returns. Here, however,
lies the trouble. More than
the ordinary care must be
taken to top the herds. Common to fair
northerns will come in competition with
the thousands of southern cattle and will
naturally share in the depression conse-
quent on large receipts. Let only the good
ones 60 forward and keep an edge, SO to
speak, on the market
The supply Of good ones is smal-proba-
bly, 35, 600 from Wyoming. $1,000 from Mon
tana and a few thousand from Idaho.
There will be more than the above indicat-
ed number of cattle to go forward, but
these figures are likely to cover all of the
really ripe ones-the kind that will take
the place of corn-fed steers. Attention to
classification this year will be especially
profitable and must not be overlooked.

THE Denver News calls the attention
OF democrats to the fact that under the
new apportionment which will give in
creased representation to the west the
electoral votes of New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut and the south will no
longer give president to the democ-
ra:y. Whether or not the addition of
Indiana would assure that result can
not now be told. But the fifteen votes
of that state are Offset by the votes Of
the Dakotas, Washington, Idaho and
Wyoming. The democracy will not only
need New York, New Jersey, Connect
cut, Indiana and the solid south, but it
must make some gains in the Missis-
sippi valley. The News believes that
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin are states
for the democracy to fight for.

The formal opening of the grounds of
the Helena Athletic association will take
place to-day, and We hope every man and
woman in Helena who believes in pure
and healthful outdoor sports-and who
does not?-will manifest by their pres
ence a generous appreciation of the work
the association has undertaken. What
the visitor will see to-day is only the be-
ginning Of beautiful athletic park.
Another season, If it meets liberal pub
lie encouragement, the association will
erect handsome clubhouse and other
wise improve its property until Helena
will have one OF the best athletic
grounds in the union. There will be
fine music on the grounds to-day and a
sharp and exciting contest between two
OF the most evenly matched base ball
clubs in the northwest. Let the people
of Helena make glad the hearts of the
young men who have worked SO faith
fully to give them this pleasure ground.

THERE ought to be q state association
of democratic clubs in Montana, similar
to the organizations in California and
Washington. Can't our Hendricks club
move in this matter? Ex-President
Cleveland recently wrote letter to q
democratic club in Tacoma in which he
said: Il am firm believer in the USE
fulness of such political instrumental
ties, and I think our party is to be con-
graduated upon the number that are
now in active operation. Their exis-
tence furnishes evidence of democratic
zeal and activity most encouraging, not
only in party sense, but in that higher
patriotism which prompts honest and
sincere citizens to love their country
and desire its welfare and prosperity"

The republicans in congress have con-
coted another scheme to retain their
hold on power. It is to rush the census
count to completion and compel the
election of as many congressman at large
as possible. Superintendent Porter
promises to declare the official count by
August Is. The republican leaders IN
congress will then proceed to reappor-
ton representation SO as to give one
member of congress for every 10000 in
habitants. They figure that in the west
ern and northwestern republican states
there will be gain Of fifteen members.
Quay and his lieutenants are shrewd
enough to see that of these new men,
bers the democrats, under the present
decentralization Of parties in the west,
would elect their full share, and they
propose to prevent this by passing their
apportionment bill at so late day that
the several states cannot be redistricted
This will make it necessary for all the
states to elect their congressman at large
IAN arrangement by which the repub
licans are likely to gain largely. Thus
Ia Ohio and Illinois the democrats usu-
Ally elect nearly one half of the Nom
bers, while the republicans, as rule
slect their state tickets by small mar
Tin. Under the scheme we have out.
lined the republicans would stand goot
chance OF electing every congressman
from these two states, and in othel
states that always give republican ma
jorities they would be able to eliminate
every democratic member.
