CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.

Our Christmas festivities began on
Tuesday evening, with the exercises
in the Congregational church. The
decorations were quite profuse and
tasty. A large arch of evergreen was
over the platform, with smaller ones
over the platform steps. An ever
green bell of considerable size swung
from the center of the greater arch.
Several trees adorned platform and
floor, A large number of presents,
many of them quite beautiful and
costly, were arranged on the ever
! greens and on tables. Festoons of
Florida moss dropped from the arch
es and on the walls At 6:30o'clock,
with Prof. Whipple at thepipe-organ,
assisted by double quartette choir,
an interesting program of music and
recitations was rendered, after which
the presents were distributed.
Wednesday evening the Methodist
church was even full to enjoy the ex-
ercises. On the left of the platform
was an imitation of the thatch-roofed
stable, with the words Graded in Il
Manager" In the center, dependent
from the ceiling, was a cross with a
silver crown above it, and the words
"It is finished" At the right of the
platform was a representation of a
stone tomb, with the motto "He is
risen" A roomy upholstered sleigh
was filed to OYerhOwing with gifts
while many more were spread around
on tables. The following exercises
were presented by the children: "Je
sus Christ, our Savior" and From
the Manger to the Skies. y
On the same evening the Univer
salist church was filed to the aisles
A double quartette conducted th
music. A small forest Of Christma
trees at the right, loaded with pres
ents, gave promise of pleasures yet il
store The members of the Sunday
: school occupied seats at the front Q

under the revival of the plan which, as
We have just remarked, is in no sense
the new invention 1t is cracked
up to be by Speaker Reeds ad-
mirers. The scheme worked well
enough for a time, as the
political composition of congress
testiiies. The STANDARD has not at
hand just at this moment the exact
data, but We know IL to be safe to say
that the federal senate was republican
by seventy per cent. twenty years ago,
and that the proportion of democrats
representing southern states i'm the
house was about rs one to four The
republicans held congress by control
that was as good as solid.
All went well for while-but only
for little while. Federal control of
elections became SO offensive to the
American people that a complete revO-
luton in sentiment followed. II took
just about five years for the republi-
cans, in pursuit of their arrogant
policy, to lose the country and wreck
their party. Then the democrats got
a majority in the senate and controlled
the lower house by an overwhelming
vote. That was remarkable reyolu-
ton that made the two branches of the
Legislative department democratic in
1870, five years after the close of the
war of the rebellion. IL was political
reversal that will be sure again to fol-
low the revival of the methods through
which supremacy was lost In those
days.
a desperate situation prompts the
course which the republicans announce
their determination to pursue. That
course is accurately outlined in the
words of Mr.. Reed already quoted in
these columns, words i'm which he thus
exhorts his party associates. "Let us
cut loose from the state elections,
do our own registration, our own
counting and our own certiiication.
That bold plan is to be carried into
effect by the national republican party.
IL was operated right here in Montana,
where conspiracy ilourishes for time
to be trampled under foot before the
people get through with it, just as
was the case in national politics twenty
years ago, just as will be the outcome

Stilted gossip relating to Stanley

speech, rs something quite antique i'm
its way. II any of all this sort of twad

The freisinnige members of tn

The freisinnige members of the
German parliament represent large
constituency in the progressive element
of the German empire. They have
lost no time in presenting their de-
mand for thorough revision of the
tariff code, in all that concerns articles
of general consumption. If Major Nc
Kinley could be spared just now, he
might go over to Berlin and show the
other side how to profess tariff reduc-
tion and yet get up a bill that raises
duties along the whole line. For that
matter, we think Mckinley could be
spared.

that the emperor was warmly ap-

The local reporters have not said as
much for the Walton inaugural. Yet,
in its way, we think the Butte mans
effort quite as timely and quite as
pointed as the titled talk from the
throne. The STANDARD doesn't pro-
pose to exalt an imperial address too
highly even if, within certain limits, it
is disposed to encourage the importa-
tion of free raw material.

Mrs. Bessie Ladd, wife of Henry w.
Ladd, after lingering illness died
yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. She
had been confined to her bed for days
with typhoid fever, and the doctors
were baffied in all their efforts to
break the fever. Yesterday she rallied
and seemed much better, but it was
but a short respite, and on the turn
of the night, surrounded by grief
stricken friends, she quietly breathed
her last. Mrs. Ladd was born in In
dependence, Washington county,
Tex, Jan. 4, 1865. She was the
daughter of John R. Hoxie, a man
quite we'll known in Austin and
throughout the state. She was married
to Mr.. Henry Ladd, April Is, 1885, and
Mr.. Ladd and child l year oil sur
vive her. In this sad hour words of
sympathy are but slight comfort to
the bleeding hearts Of those who knew
and loved her. A lady of sterling
worth and Christian actions, she was
woman who to know was to love.

cherish the sweet memory of having
