THE drift of newspaper opinion the

THE drift of newspaper opinion the
country over is that the state stealers
have made Montana a sure democratic
state. "From this time on" says the
Seattle Journal, "Montana may be re-
garded as reliably democratic, and
though the republicans will retain the
senators for several years, they may get
as much satisfaction as possible out OF
the reflection that never again will they
have the same opportunity" Tho Den
YER News says, "Montana's municipal
elections show strong drift towards the
democratic party. The administration
will be roundly defeated in the next gen
eral election. II pays to be fair"

ONE of the curious literary frauds of
the day is the appearance in new dress
of Webster's dictionary of the edition of
1S49, which is advertised as new issue.
The piratical publishers explain that
they are able to offer it at q very low
price because the copyright has expired.
There is as much difference between the
Webster's dictionary of 1s49 and the
Webster's dictionary of to-day as there
is between the Helena of 1864 and the
Helena of 1890. The public should be
on it's guard against this fake produc.

If the Hon. Thomas Henry Carter
really declines denomination, as it Is
expected he will do, the best man for the
state stealers to put forward to try con-
illusions with the democrats would be
Joseph e. Richards of Butte. 1t was
Richards who was the means of giving
Power fraudulent senatorship, and the
little commodore would undoubtedly
make great fight in Silver Bow county
for the man who knocked out Lee Man
tie. This is suggestion merely in the
interest of harmony.

LEsL1E's Monthly for May contains an
article on Grandfather Harrison. It
quotes Pottawatomie Indian as say
ing, "The old men of my people tell
many traditions of the grandfather Of
the new Great Father at Washington"
They are not telling many traditions in
Washington about the new Great Father
in the white house, but they are letting
out great many hard facts that are
not particularly pleasant reading to the
man under his grandfather's hat.

THE new city administration will be
organized tomorrow night.
It was elected in the expectation that
it would be clean, vigorous, business
like administration and we have no
doubt it will prove to be of that sort.
The people at the election called for a
general change of personnel in the city
offices and we do not think they will be
disappointed.

A WRITER in the May number of Les

he calls the Constantinople of the west,
will be the great seaport of the twentieth

James O'Nein This Evening-The Califor-
mia Opera Comp4ny.
This evening the distinguished American
actor. James O'Neill. will begin two
nights engagement at Ming's opera house
in his famous character of Monte Cr!sto.
The company is said to be excellent, and
special scenery adapted to tho romantic
character of the play will be presented.
The New York Times says:
Niblo's Garden was packed from par
quette to gallery to welcome this favorite
young actors characterization of Edmund
Dantes and Count of Monte Cristo, which
are we'll known to the metropolitan stage.
But the play itself is one which never loses
its charm, and Mr.. O'Neill's impersonation
of the central figure will never fail to please
his auditors. In Monte Cristo Mr.. O'Neill
acts with energy, force and pathos. His
performance last night was hailed with
salvos of applause, which were well merited
and gracefully received.

The Strike at Cokedale.
The trouble between the coal miners and
employees at Cokedale is to be considered by
the state board of arbitration. DR.. Mus
sigbrod and w. j. Penrose, two members of
the board, leave for tho coal mines to-day
for the purpose of adjusting the difficulties,
If it can be done. The trouble seems to
have originated in a question of wages.
Both parties to the dispute have thus far
remained obstinate and firm. but it is to be
hoped that the difficulty may be amicably
adjusted.

CENSUS guessing is the latest popular
craze, and the newspapers all over the
country are offering premiums to the
readers who shall guess the closest to the
population of their respective towns.
This is good form of speculation for
the fools who buy lottery tickets. It
has the advantage of not costing any
thing, and there are just as many chances
of winning q prize.

The republican newspapers are in high
glee because ex-President Cleveland is
undergoing treatment for the reduction
of surplus fat. They are not saying
word, however, about the vigorous treat
ment the federal treasury is undergoing
for the same purpose under the able
manipulation Of republican doctors in
congress. And that's what interests the
country most.

The California Company.

On Wednesday evening the California
Opera company, consisting of thirty people,
will open a four nights engagement at
Ming's. The opening opera will be Said
Pasha, one of the most popular operate
works of the day. The Seattle journal
says: Another large audience witnessed
the second rendition Of this opera at the
Turn hall theater last night. The company
is full of talent of the highest order. The
spirited rendition given of the opera by the
excellent company has created furore
among lovers Of harmony, such as has been
seldom equaled in this city. Miss Kate
March, and Miss Ada Somers are applauded
whenever they make their appearance. The
former in the duo with John G. McWade is
full of graceful chic and is rewarded by
long and load applause. w. H. Frillman

Territorial Democratic Platform.

The Democrats of Arizona, in conven- tion assembled, reaffirm their aIlegi- ance to the democratic party, and re- assert the principles announced in re- peated N ttional Conventions, and con- tained in it's time hOnOred traditions.
 We demand that we be relieved from the tutelage of a territorial form of gov ernment and that we be admitted to statehood. We are taxed as American citizens but are not allowed representa- tiol or vote in making the laws that shall govern us. Until that time, We demand of congress that home rule which shall allow us to elect all of our exc cutive, legislative and judicial. as well as our county officers. These off, cers expend the money we.appropr;ate te and pay Tn taxes and administer the statutes we enact and we should be all owed 10 choose those who shall execute them.
 Of our own Legislature we demand the abolition of all useless offices, par ticularly the offices of Attorney Gencr. al, Commissioner of Immigration, Su- perintendent of Schools and Territori- al Geologist, and a reduction of sala- ries and emoluments of the rest, where ever practicable.
 And we demand a consolida ton of county offices to the end that the fees oDJ ocJnn,oDtc nD froD, | Ina Ya,y Ia may be decreased and that taxation may be reduced 10 the lowest possible point.
 The republican party in this admin istration has shown it's unfitness to govern successfully. Uuder ambitious and selfish leaders, careless of the ruin that is being wrought to the Republic, the despotic speaker, supported by his party, disregards un3roken precedents, and makes himself the master instead Ot the servant of the House. Under his lasll the taxes found necessary during the War were increased, free coinage of silver defeated, and a force bill carried which will give to the military control over elections. We denounce the bill as un-American and un democratic, as 1t destroys all hope of free elections. The surplus has been recklessly voted away, until now a deficiency looks us in the face.
 We favor the continuation of the Chinese Restriction act
 We favor free and unrestricted coin- age of silver.
 We favor q reduction of taxation and tariff for revenue only.
 We command the course of our dele gate in congress, and particularly his opposition to all legislation in favor of land grants, and h1s opposition to the proposed "Land Grant Court Bill"
 We oppose any legislation to disfran- chise any citizen, except it be on con- viction of crime.
 We demand the repeal of section 6, act No. fl, of March 2l, 1859, prohibit ing any bat American citizens receiving the benefits of public

In November, 1887, Robert E. Morrison, ex-Probate Judge of Apache county, leader of the Re- publican party in this county, the man to whom the Republican con vention at Phoenix offered the nom- ination for Delegate to Congress, il is said, son of A. l.. Morrison, Pres ident Harrison's Register of the Land Office at Santa Fe, New Mex ico, wrote and caused to be pub lished anonymously in the Daily Citizen of Albuquerque, two col umned article, entitled Run by a Ring"
 In it he plainly charged our then District Attorney, Hon. Harris Baldwin, now the Democratic can didate for Joint Councilman, and his brother-in-law, T. w. Johnston, Esq, who succeeded him as Dis trict Attorney in this county, with all manner of corruption and dis honorable practices, officially and professionally.
 1 That the former, while District Attorney enabled Hon, D. P. Bald win, of Indiana, to mulct the coun- ty in an enormous sum of money as fee for assistance in the Railroad tax cases of 1885. ?. That he dis honestly deceived the Board of Su- pervisors in the interest of some of his rich surety clients, with the in tent to enable his friends to escape a liability on Baca's bond for Si4,- GOO; and (3) that the volunteering in the case by the Hon. CD R. l.. Morrison "nipped in the bud a ''scheme to defraud the county, y planned by the District Attorney, and A ) that at the September 1887 term of the District Court, the Dis trict Attorney, and his brother-in- law. corruptly and dishonorabiy made illegal compromises of cer tain felony charges against Stanley. Earth and Jackson, by causing ur- ders of "banishment" from the fer ritory to be entered against the former two, and permitting the la named to plead to a lesser offence, and pay fine. This edition of the paper was spread far and wide in the county. Many citizens receiv- ing that edition as the first and only copy of the paper ever read by them.

The New Mormon Revelation.

The order of President Woodruff of the Mormon Church forbiding his followers to practice polygamy has been ratified by mass meeting of ten thousand Murmons. The act may have immediate and weighty political consequences. It instantly enfranchises all Mormons who are not actual polygamists, or at least enables them to take the oath which is the test of citizenship in Idaho and Utah.
 When a citizen of Idaho is chal- lenged for Mormonism he must swear that he is not a member of any organization that teaches any practice contrary to the laws of the land, and that he does not contri- bute to the support of any such or ganization. Heretofore these Nor mons who have wished to take the risk of voting have withdrawn tenn porarily from membership III the church, but this has been held to be an illegal subterfuge and has subjected them to punishment. Hereafter they can boldly ta ke the oath while remaining in full fellow ship with their organization. The Mormon Church no longer teaches polygamy. Nobody can prove that 1t comes under the ban Its sacred books will testify in it's favor. The Book of Mormon condemns plural marriages. So far as the records go poIygamy is mere episode in the history If the church-an eff horescence of the Brigham Young period.
 No doubt the attempt of the Nor mons to ex"rciSe political privileges in Idaho will be desperately resist ed. The Constitution of that State vests an arbitrary discretion m the, election officers in the matter of the rejection of votes. They may choose to disbelicye in the Mormon change of heart and refuse to allow the oath to be taken. But the voters are sure 10 force themselves in time if they peraevere. Beginning with localities in which their friends have control of the election ma chinery they can gradually extend their operations until they are able to vote all over the State. There may be a political revolution in Idaho before long.-Examiner.
