even those who are familiar with every arti-
Gle of disguise are unable to detect the
slightest difference between the imitation
and the reality. This is the result of a
method of training which was once so labo-

followed it were compelled to renounce all
the natural occupations and pursuits of the
male sex and devote themselves to a life of

ladies of high. degree. Their theatrical

with considerable exaggeration, to the

bills now being urged upon congress
have been prepared by the pension

he occupies front seat in the reserved

are waking up to the rascality in this

Jokers, Alloy !!

Philadelphia Ledger: The vice president
of the New York Press club is advertising
for jokes. He is willing to pay more than
even the comic papers for collection of
five to ten live jokes, but they must be
Original" he says, mo bewhiskered chest
nuts" no borrowing from the ancients, no
stealing from the modern. The vice presi-
dent of the press club must not expect to
have these conditions literally fulfilled.
The possession of ten jokes such as he de-
scribes would give him monopoly such as
only the Standard Oil Company and the Bell
Telephone company can enjoy. The
man who can invent real
" original joke is one individual
in century. He deserves to have his name
preserved in literature and his fame made
enduring in marble and bronze. For is it
not fact that one of the rarest Of products
| is a really original joker What we laugh
at in the comic columns are only old jokes
in new dresses. The same idea tickled the
humor of our fathers and our grandfathers.
1t would be interesting to inquire, for m
stance, into the remote origin of the moth
erin law joke. How long is it since the
length and thickness of the 'sold MANS
boot has been, in comic literature. an OBJ
ject of solicitude on the part of the youth

he will be mistaken. "There is nothing

The Herald prefers that the legisla-
tive deadlock shall continue indefinitely;
that the business interests of the state
and it's reputation abroad shall suffer,
rather than that the five republican
members Of the legislature from Silver
Bow county, whose seats were stolen for
them by Hall, Jack and Bernard, shall
be asked to resign. 1t falls back on
technicalities, ignores the plain decision
of the district court in the Silver Bow
shrievalty case, and invites a repetition
of the scenes of last winter. We don't
believe that in this narrow and unpat-
riotic policy it reflects the sentiments OF
intelligent members of it's own party
We believe that the mass of our people
regardless of their party affiliations
would like to see an adjustment of the
controversy in spirit of compromise.
What honor is it for the five members
from Silver Bow who sat in the repub-
lican rump house last winter to hang
onto their seats? Is it the salaries they
are after? Then, the people, of Mon
tana, we dare say, would quickly raise a
purse and pay them off. Suppose they
do think they were legally elected--al-
though we don't believe that one of
them does so think-are they not inter
ested in the welfare of the state enough
to step aside if they are stumbling
blocks in the way of it's progress? We
can sec how party exigencies might
have made them hang on when the re-
publican administration at Washington
was anxious to secure two more votes in
the senate, but what earthly object is to
be accomplished by their clinging to
their petty offices now?

THE New York Sun says that the au-
thor of the federal election law intro
duced in the senate by Mr.. Hoar, is the
notorious Supervisor Davenport, of New
York. The authorship alone would con-
denim it we're there nothing else to say
against it, but the SUI says of it:
If the Hoar bill should become law, Mr..
Davenport and gang of republican can
vassers would have it in their power to in
terfere arbitrarily with the rights of nat
uralized citizens and to tamper with the reg
istration lists. With other chief supervis
ors, he would have at his disposal secret
fund, corruption fund. into the manner of
spending which the accounting officers of
the treasury department are barred from
inquiring. The amount of crooked work
and of open intimidation that would result,
can be imagined by those who are familiar
with Supervisor Davenport's methods un-
der his present limited powers. A more
dangerous and wicked attack upon the
freedom and purity of elections has never
been planned even by the most radical and
INSCRIPTIONS republican partisans. The
more the country studies the provisions Of
dignation. It is the last reckless plunge of
losing gamester. 1t contemplates grand
larceny of elections.
Mr.. Reed has condensed into sentence
which will be often quoted against him and
his party, the true aim and purpose of the
Hoar bill: "Let US cnt loose from the state
elections: do our own registration, our own
counting and our own certification." Give
MIR. Reed the credit of a courage which the
ranters and the sneaks in the republican
party do not show. They profess a virtuous
longing for pure elections. Mr.. Reed, with
a certain captivating boldness, says bluntly
that he wants elections which will return 6
republican congress. He does not blink al
the means or try to disguise it. The repub
lican party is broken and defeated party
this year unless it can steal the fifty second
congress. In order to do this, the registra
ton of voters, the counting of votes, anG
the certitication of the results must be sub
iect to Republican provision, supervision
and revision, But the American people will
have s hing to say about that.

Gov. Toole's Bride,

Springfield Republican,: There are two
brides-elect in Washington, who have no
superstition about May weddings. Miss
Lilly Rosecrans, daughter of Gen. Rose
Grams, is to marry Gov. Toole, of Montana,
and Miss Margaret Blaine is to marry Wal
ter Damrosch of New York, all in the merry
month of May. In Washington May is the
month of roses, and as blooming as the
be morning wedding, followed by break
fasts, and then one wedding journey will be
across the sea and the other half -way across
the continent to Montana. There is wide
and earnest interest in the two young
women, who are SO we'll known and SO
liked for themselves. Miss Rosecrans was
who died in Washington six years
ago. Since that time she has been her
fathers companion, and her devotion to
him has been constant and beautiful. Her
acquaintance with Governor Toole began
five years ago. when he was delegate from
the territory of Montana. General and
Miss Rosecrans and Delegate Toole lived at
the same hotel, and for two years sat at the
same table. Love founded on the friend
ship at a hotel table has pretty solid foun-
dalton. There is nothing like daily table
manners in a hotel or boarding house to
bring out, the real nature Of man or
woman. And SO it is believed that Miss
Rosecrans and Mr.. Toole know their own
minds and are pretty we'll acquainted.
Governor Toole is of course the first gov
ernor of the new state of Montana, and was
elected for four years. He is a
handsome man of 80, with dark
eyes and hair. Miss Rosecrans is a
blonde, with wealth of beautiful fair hair,
and a tall, slender figure. She was born q
Catholic. one might say, for her father was
a convert in early life, and her mother
became one soon after marriage. Governor
Toole is not, believe, member of any
church. The wedding day will not be
definitely fixed until his arrival from
Montana, which is daily expected. The
ceremony will be according to the Catholic
faith, but cannot be before the altar when
one of the parties is Protestant. It will
be quiet wedding, and the bride will be
attended by maid of honor and two little
children of friend. General Rosecrans is
much pleased with his daughters choice.
1t is likely that, after he retlres from his
position as register of the treasury, he will
spend most of his time with his daughter in
her western home.

SELDOM, if ever, has London wit
messed more imposing demonstration
than our columns of yesterday chron-
icled as having gathered on Sunday last
within the area of Hyde Park. The
toilers of the English metropolis, in the
cause of the eight hours movement,
mustered half million strong, and
carried the proposals laid before them
by reclamation. Such unanimous senti-
ment cannot fail to have the ut
most weight with the employers of la
Dor, who must be forced to the conclu-
sion that their employees are in earnest
in the matter, and that the agitation is
not the result of isolated discontents or
of any anarchist feeling. The most
noteworthy feature in the days proceed
lngs was the order that prevailed; at NO
point was there the slightest desire
shown or attempt made to repeat the
dsorderly rioting Of previous occa-
SIGN, when the slums belched forth their
denizens to mingle with honest work
men, and to loot the stores of the gilt
tering and valuable contents that proved
too strong : temptation for thievish
hands A more deadly blow to the
cause of labor could not have been
struck by its worst enemies; it armed
all conservative citizens, all who had
any stake whatever in law and .rder
against the cause Of the workingman
against any cause that resorted to such
action as means of forcing attention te
grievance. But the discipline ani
order that pervaded the toiling ranks OF
Sunday will be sure to arouse in favor o
the movement all the generous feelings
of the English people and convinc'
them that this is the cause of men who
in demanding right that they fee
should be granted them, have the dig
nifty and wisdom to respect the rights o
others.

The esteemed Herald admits that but

republican majority in congress would
have been ready to vote pension ''with-
out limitation of age" Zhen shame to
the republican party! Any able bodied
man, in the prime of life, who would
