from the boxes. Hartman said that in con-
sidering personal ambition we sometimes
forgot the good. There was but one wish, one
desire and one demand-Carter should be
unanimously nominated. Short speeches of
endorsement were made by Lee Mantle, of
Silver Bow; H. F. Titus, of Deer Lodge; ex-
Gov. White, of Beaverhead; A. c. Botkin,
of Lewis and Clarke; +, H. Goodman, of
Meagher. and Charles H. Loud, of Cascade.
Mr.. Mantle's motion that Carter's re-nomi-
was carried with yell, all the delegates
and the audience rising and giving three
cheers. Along discussion followed over the
method of informing Carter of his nomina-
tion. It was finally settled by forwarding
this telegram, signed by Chairman Mills,
the vice-presidents of the convention, and
the chairmen of the several republican
county central committees.
To Hon. Thomas H. Carter, Washington,
D. C.-The republicans of Montana in
state convention assembled have to-day
unanimously, enthusiastically and by stand
ing vote nominated you for representative
in congress and will have no other. The
republican party feel that you are not a
representative of any party, feel that you
are not representative of any particular
locality. but of the entire state and their
instructions to delegates demand that you
yield your feelings IN the matter and stand
with us in the great and important battle.
This telegram is signed by the presiding
officer, sixteen vice-presidents and sixteen
chairmen of county delegations. While
this dispatch was being prepared Col. Bot
kin was wheeled to the platform where
he read the platform which he
had prepared. The reading was frequently
interrupted by applause. At the conclusion
tho convention took a recess until $500
o'clock to await Carter's answer.

''Purely as business matter, and

our esteemed contemporaries puts it,
we think the present good time to
send out few sample copies of the

Look it over, you will find it as
good newspaper as there is in this
part of the state, you will find that it
covers the local field thoroughly, that
its correspondents are carefully selected
and furnish reliable news. Compare
it with the other papers you take and
see if it does not give the MOST HONE
News from Orange and Windsor
counties, then compare the price, only

clude TO hand your postmaster the

If any one doubts that a red hot po-

but we are not old enough or wealthy
enough for any such extravagant out
lays. Ignorance may be increasing,
but we can make intelligent voters fast
er by fixing educational qualifications
to the right of suffrage than by cram
ming knowledge into people who think
they have no use for it. Southerners
are great sticklers for states rights but
they never go so far as not to believe
that the general government has right
to help them TO multitude of Jobs.
Their representatives are never back
ward in holding out their hands to take
gifts for their constituents. This state
of mind is not peculiar to the South al
though more fully developed there than
elsewhere. 1t is said that President
Harrison is looking after these bills
seeking to find out how much money is
involved in them for the purpose of We
toing some of them should the public
good seem to him to require it. The
fact is he has taken alarm at the out
look and proposes to meet the emergen-
cy in the way which the constitution
has required. Mr.. Harrison is con-
servatiye man and we know of no bet-
ter place for him to show conserya-
tive spirit than holding in check the ex-
travagant tendencies of Congress. We
can trust him to regulate this matter
One thing we should not forget. The
democrats, out of power, closely watch
the public treasury. As rule they
may not be reliable watchers but they
can create the impression that the par
tyin power is spending more money than
the public good demands, and use this
as a lever TO hoist themselves into pub
lie favor. If Congressman fail to do
their duty in the direction of public
economy, it is highly satisfactory to
know that there is at the head of our
affairs man who can watch as close
ly as his political enemies, and with a
higher purpose, the manner and the
freedom with which our public funds
are used and impose such checks as the
occasion justifies. Our Representatives
and Senators ought to understand that
the rank and file of the people believe
in economy. 1t is the few who get the
money, it comes out of the pockets of
the many in the end. If the republic
ans care to continue in power they can
not afford to waste dollar. These are
times for retrenchment not for enlarge
ment. Saving, not wasting, should be
the party word.

Extravaganza in Public Expenditure

There are now before Congress sew
eral bills which appropriate large sums
of money for both public and private
uses. There seems to be disposition
on the part of the average Congressman
TO throw out the surplus as freely as
though there was TO be no end TO it.
If all the bills now pending which in
volve the expenditure of money should
pass, not only the surplus would be ex-
hausted but it would be necessary to in
crease our bonded Indebtedness. Is il
wise to do this! Some of these bills
ought to pass, as public Improvements
are always demanded. The extent to
which they shall be carried each year
is left to the Judgment of our national
legislators. But some of them ought
not TO pass, partly because the public
good does not require it, and partly be-
cause if it did require il we are not in
a condition TO promote it by such meth
ods. There is bottom to the nation
al purse, and if we are wise we shall
never touch that bottom. Some of the
bills need great deal of pairing down.
1t would seem as though Congressman
thought that they could best please
their constituents by diverting little
streams of money from the national
treasury into their pockets. There are
plenty of men who vote for Congress-
man upon calculation of the chances
to make something out of the operation,
but when such a purpose becomes the
prevailing idea with the average voter
it is about time to wind up the affairs
of the government and start out on
new basis. OF the several pension bills
there is not one that does not involve
an unwarranted expenditure. The far
ther we get from the war the more the
war is costing us. We believe in help
ing those who need help on account of
any sacrifices made in defence of the
government, but we do not believe in
subordinating all public interests to the
one object of rewarding men many of
whose claims are at least questionable,
or shaping public policy with reference
TO pleasing a particular class of men.
We have already gone farther than any
government ever went before in re-
warling its defenders, and we only ex-
press strong and growing feeling am
ong thoughtful people, that with the
righting of some cases of manifest in
Justice we have done all that could rea-
sonably be required. Bills for enlarg-
ing the number of public buildings, i'm
proving inconsequential streams of wa
ter, to please few people here and
there and furnish jobs, are brought for
ward almost without limit. Some of
these are proper enough, others should
not receive moments consideration.
They please so many people, however,
in all parts of the country, by appeal
ing to local pride, and hattering local
interests, that opposition is silenced or
only feebly heard. 1t would be nice to
have government building for the
post office costing $4,000 or therea-

Ii is a very common thing for us to
say that the war is over. Is it over
before the defeated party accepts the
terms of peace? Usually tits not so
considered. Somewhat hastily we re-
ceiyed the South into fellowship with
MS again after giving them an unmerci-
full beating. Now the South and the
democratic party jeer at constitutional
amendments, make no secret of their
purpose TO nullify them, and by their
manner stand before country in the at
titude of upholders of Southern outrag-
es upon colored men. There are places
in the South where there are no suitable
white republicans out of which to make
nostmasters. Colored citizens have
been chosen. These have been mall
treated and offices broken up. As a
result the mail service is disorganized
in some sections. The democrats ask
what are YOU going to do about it. If
the North has occasion to reply TO the
taunts of the South as it has once done
there will not be enough Southern men
left to furnish seed for another genera
t;on of traitors.
