Governor Hill will have the sympathy
Of every bachelor in the country. A joke
IL n joke, but an attempt to make n mans
infirmities or peculiar social condition the
subject of jocularity is raising the limit IN
q manner worthy Of all condemnation;
and General Earle, Mt whose residence by
the seq the governor was n recent guest,
Is n nj subject for the scorn and contempt
of all celibates present and 10 come. II
appears that when Governor Hill was
about to place his gifted person upon the
couch prepared for his nocturnal repose.
he was SO startled out Of his wits by n
voice that he jumped five feet upward
and backward, colliding unRracefully
with the dresser. II was q wee baby
voice crying out: ~ want my mamma,
papa, dear. Where is she? Lighting
the gas, the governor turned down the
bed-clothing aud was Mortified to find his
worst suspicious confirmed. There was a
baby form stretched on he bed. Closer
inspection revealed, however, that the
baby was nothing more than q life-like
doll, equipped with a photograph attach

c~o-conspirators thought they had dom
something funny. But IL David b. Hill

poet any favors from the administration.
There are things which no se~lf-respccting

MAlIlNG 10 WIN IhEM.

The republican congressional cam
paign committee has n more week in
which 70 coerce republican editors and
republican senators into the support Of
the force bill.
The hackers of the measure do not
like to have the word force" applied
To IL. They say it is a nice, innocent
bill, devised for securing the purity of
the ballot and that sort Of thing. In
truth the motive of the bill is 10 apply
the force of federal arms at election
precincts, power to do this being con-
ferred on supervisors appointed by the
trainers of the bill.
The authority Of these supervisors is
absolute. il knows no limit. They null
lily all state laws applying TO the cleo
tion Of members of congress. II is
their duty to go into certain southern
districts which the inventors of the
measure will select and In which repub-
leans dare To work the racket, and
count in enough members of congress
TO offset the losses which republicans
are sure to sustain In the north. To the
end that, by fraud or foul play or by
any other method the republican ma
jority in the house may be preserved. II
that be possible.
There are five or six republicans in
the senate who are strongly opposed To
this bill, hence its discussion is delayed.

When it comes to issues I'm Montana
the democrats have the right Of 1t this
year. When IL IN TO candidates the
democratic state convention may be
trusted to select a man who can be
elected and who will be broad enough
and high-minded enough to realize that
he has the entire state for a cOnstitu-
ency. The STANDARD does not doubt
that the coming convention will act
wisely in the selection of a candidate;
but name a west-side man, gentlemen.
There's sound sense and wise political
policy in doing that.

THE ONE THING NsIDFul

The Helena Journal is impatient be-
cause the STANDARD and other demo-
cratic newspapers do not trot out a
candidate for the congressional nomi-
nation. Curiously enough. the Journal
decides that the democratic press is
cowardly. II wants to hear something
said about Maginnis Or Clark or DAILY
or Hauser or Higgins or Bickford or
the rest of them. I'VE have looked I'm
vain" says the Journal. through the
columns Of the democratic papers for
a good word for any of the aspirants."
Keep right on looking, good neighbor.
We are making no particular predic-
tions as to what you may discover. but
We suppose that, so far AS this news
paper is concerned, you will continue
TO look in vain. We don't understand
that the STANDARD came into the
world with any particular mission to
name candidates for the people, we
have rarely seen a newspaper candi-
date who was a success. II is In the
province of a newspaper, within
limits, to discuss the worth and the
availability of recognized candidates
and that the STANDARD has done, but
we are not picking out men with any
notion Of having them urged on a con.
vention made up of as good men ms are
sure 20 meet together when the demo-
Gratis of Montana formally put their
ticket in the field.
As far rs the STANDARD is concerned,
10 has but one wish to urge regarding
the democratic candidate TO he nomi-
mated on the congressional ticket, and
that hope relates TO geography rather
than 10 any individual. We trust that
the democrats OF this state will surely
nominate a west-side man. The feel
ing of opposition TO the consolidation
of the representation from this
state i'm the city Of Helena
is one of the most tangible
factors i'm current local politics. II is
true that the interests of this state are

White Caps and other amateur re-

just decided by the highest court of In
diana. A man who was whipped by
them for something which, as it after

fallen under the STANDARDS eye. IL
there was TO he a tally-ho, tin-horn hur-

ment has been not in criticism but rather
in the expression Of wonder that Sanders

the engine, tender, smoker, and two day
coaches. was quickly brought to = stand
still The rear half was composed of FIVE
heavy Pullmans, which came on the down
grade and crashed into the second day
coach A Pullman lifted the day coach
into the air and they now lie on top OF
each other. both having telescoped the first
day cosch. Both day coaches and the
Pullman were full of passengers. Four
are reported killed outright and ten injured,
one fatally.
The train parted some miles west Of
Hamburg at the coupling between the last
day coach and the first sleeper. The first
section was stopped by Conductor Hough-
ta.iug pulling the bell rope. Most of the
passengers in the last day coach we're
warned in time to leave. but those in the
first Pullman had no warning.
Among the injured are Charles J. Rice.
Newton Fails, Mass. L. II. Fisher. Bos-
ton, leg sprsined and chin badly cut; Julia
Haley, Boston, cut in the breast and over
