send interview,
The above is the contents of dispatch
from Portland, Ore, to Governor Toole and
signed by WI. Penrose, editor of the
BntteMininR Journal. It was received by
| the governor yesterday. It was brought
out by the following special telegram dated
Port Townsend, Dec. 6, and published in
| the San Francisco Examiner, the Seattle
Telegraph and other papers on the west
coast:
wv. j. Penrose, the editor of the Daily
Mining Journal of Bite, was IN town to-
day on his way to Victoria. In conversation
ne stated that when the legislature of his
state meets this winter an entirely new
election for the United States senate will be
held. Senators Power and Sanders, who
were last year elected by the republican leg
islature, will be fought, and democratic
nominees be elected by this legislature,
which 10 democratic on joint ballot by
seven. MI. Penrose is himself member
OF the legislature. He does not think the
senate will admit the democratic nominees.
The movement has the hearty cooperation
of Governor Toole."
Governor Toole had not seen the inter
view, and had not sent any message to Edi-
tor Penrose. The latter's dispatch to the
governor was evidently the spontaneous
production of the member from Silver Bow.
There is not a word of truth in the story,
80 far as l am concerned . said the governor
yesterday. Il never heard Of the matter
before. There is nothing to be gained by
discussing the legislative situation. The
senate is the judge Of the qualifications of
its own members, It has passed on that
question, and the matter is beyond our
control. right or wrong. Those gentlemen
are enjoying their inning and the people
are demanding theirs. don't believe the
interview is genuine, and if it is. it is all
apt illustration of the old adage that q
prophet is never without honor save in his
own country. Nobody has heard anything
Of the senatorial matter here, SO far as
can learn

THE WORLDS FAIR.

The petty disputes and troubles that
have been hampering the progress OF
the initial preparations for the great
Worlds fair in 1893 seem to have been
finally got rid Of Success may now be
reckoncd matter Of certainty. The
national commission has accepted the
site agreed upon. There can be little
doubt that the masslng of the bulk of
the exposition at jackson Park is wise
decision. A dual site would have been
a mistake. in that it would have materi-
ally lessened the interest and grandeur
Of the display. The admirers of the fine
arts will be welcomed in permanent
building on the lake front, but every
other section will have it's temporary
home in jackson Park.
The highest praise is due to the ma
tional commission for the bold stand
they have taken in laying broad and
deep the foundations Of the exposition.
Thanks to their efforts, we shall be able
to boast in 1893 of display that will
ton. AS we have intimated, that result
was not attained without struggle. 1t
was no trifiing matter to overcome the
prejudices of local conceit and self-in-
terest. II certain narrow views, which
were advanced and strenuously urged,
had been allowed to prevail, the expo
sition would have been Chicago and
Chicago the exposition. With all due
Difference to the energies Of the inhabit-
ants of the city or the beautiful river, it
can scarcely be urged that such result
would have produced an exposition wor-
thy Of the standing of the great country
that is preparing to celebrate the fourth
century of it's discovery by the daring
navigator.
Montana owes duty TO herself in
this matter. We earnestly hope that no
cheese pairing economy will prevent our
great state being suitably and gener-
ously represented. No better, no more
profitable advertising scheme could be
devised than the opportunity this expo
sltlon will offer. Montana can show to
tho people Of the world the grandeur
and the wealth of her resources Capital
can be induced to pour it's wealth into
our state for this development. The
products of our mines and our fields
ought to bring us flood of hardy, self
reliant citizens, who will do much to
build up the state. In fact. it is impos-
sible to exaggerate the Importance to
Montana of fitting display of her
mineral and agricultural wealth. Our
commissioners should receive the assist
ance OF every citizen of the state in max
ing Montanas exhibit one that shall
challenge the attention, the admiration,
and the envy Of all onlookers.

Mr.. PowDERLY is reported to have
made very foolish speech at the con-
vention Of the Farmers alliance. He
denounced labor saving machinery, and
in speaking of modern electrical inven-
tions said that 'capital in it's greed had
oven cornered Gods wrath and COM
PEELED it to do his bidding" Such an
utterance coming from crazy anarchist
would have certain appropriate origin
atty. From a man of Mr.. Powderly's
position it sounds very bad. The Ia
borer would indeed be in a deplorable
condition without labor saving machi-
merry.

state sunday school Work.

The executive committee of the Montana
State Sunday School convention met in the
Bailey block, this city. on Tuesday. There
were present Rev. A. G. Coney, chairman;
A. H. Nelson, w. D. Thompson, s. II. West
and E. Sharpe. Plans were devised for the
organization of county conventions in
those parts of the state where none exist
now 1t was decided to request the presi-
dents in the several counties already or
ganized to hold their annual conventions
az early as possible and elect their delegates
to the state convention. 1t was also the
sense of the committee that the minutes of
all the territorial and state conventions be
collected and entered upon permanent
register so as to preserve the history of
such work.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.

Surgeon-General Hamilton has re-
Gently furnished to the secretary OF the
treasury the results of series of Volts
to the principal foreign ports of en-
barkation of immigrants for the United
States. The examinations were made
with view OF ascertaining the condi-
ton OF immigrants at the time Of de-
parture and for the purpose of gather
ing information looking to changes in
the system of receiving foreigners into
this country. DR.. Hamilton concludes
first that there is no country in the
world IN which citizenship is so easily
obtained as in the United States and
secondly that the welfare of the country
demands more restrictive measures than
the present laws seem able to furnish.
The gist OF his argument is as follows:
1T ought to be privilege to be an
American citizen, aud as naturalization
is gratultous concession to the immi-
grant, the Immigrant should be Of such
character, morally, intellectually and
physically, as would make him more
or lest valuable addition to the body
polite and it would appear that the
least the immigrant could do in return
Tor this concession would be to render
cheerful obedience and conformity tc
the laws OF his adopted country" Dur.
