the late Samuel J. Randall in the-eom-
mittee on appropriations, attempted to
reply to Mr.. Cannon's statement which
was substantially the same as that made
by Senator Allison. By putting in a lot
OF imaginary charges Mr.. Sayers figured
out deficiency; but his figuring would
not stand close analysis. There is not
the slightest danger of deficiency.
Speaker Reed has gone to Maine to
take part in the wind up ofthe campaign
in his district. and in his absence Repre-
sentative Burrows is acting speaker in
the House. Just before taking the train
for home Mr.. Reed was asked if ne was
uneasy about the result of the election
in his district. "Not at ALL" he replied;
1.-THE district is always republican when
a full vote is cast" with unmistakable
twinkle in his eye, "a full vote will be
cast this year." 1t is known that the
democrats have sent large corruption
fund to the speakers district; but the re-
publican leaders have no fears on that
account. Mr.. Reed will be elected.
Representative Smyser of Ohio, has
resigned his place on the special commit
tee investigating the charges against
Gen. Raum, commissioner of pensions,
because he owns stock in the refrigerator
company of which Gen. Raum is presi-
dent, and his place has been taken by
Representative Flick of Iowa. The COM
mittee has held several meetings this
week, but nothing new has been brought
out.
Gen. Clarkson having retired on Mon
day from the post-office department, is
at the headquarters of the republican
congressional campaign committee every
day hustling the good work along. He
thinks that by hard work the republic
cans ought to have larger majority in
the next House than in the present one,
and he evidently proposes to set the rest
of the party an example by pulling off
his own coat and going to work in good
Iowa style.
The bill shutting the lotteries out of
the mails has been favorably reported to
the Senate, and as soon as the tariff bill
is disposed of it will be taken up and
passed.
1t is thought that the bill prohibiting
dealing in options on farm products
has been shelved for the session, but it's
friends are still working to have a day
assigned to it.
The conference committee on the River
and Harbor bill has made it's report; the
amount appropriated is slightly reduced
from what the Senate passed, but the

House has unseated Breckenridge. of

A century of progress has not produced
a remedy equal to Ely's Cream Balm for
cararrh, cold in the head and hay fever.
1t is not liquid or snuff, but is per-
fectly safe and easily applied into the

cures the worst cases.
Don't say there is no help for catarrh,
hay fever and cold in head, since thous-
ands testify that Ely's Cream Balm has
entirely cured them. 1t supersedes the
dangerous use of liquids and snuffs. 1t
is easily applied into the nostrils and
gives relief at once. Price SOC.

The democratic county convention
was a veritable bear garden, for a sea-
son. c. F. Macdonald wanted it this
way and John Hammered wanted it the
other way, and both were partially sue
cessful. Mr.. Hammered tailed to get the
nomination for shorthand didn't want
it, in fact. He went into the convention
for the purpose OF defeating Mr.. Macdon
AIDS slate for delegates to the state con-
vention, and was successful to the ex-
tent that Macdonald was knocked out
of the craftsmanship. E. P. Barnum
came within half dozen votes of beat
ing Brrney Vossbers for Auditor, but, as
usual, western Stearns got left. 1t al
ways does in a democratic convention.
Senator Keller got a delegation to the
Senatorial convention which pleases him.
The majority OF it are his friends.
The following is the ticket:
Sheriff.. P. Hecklin.
Auditor-Barney Vossberg.
Attorney-J. D. Sullivan.
Clerk of Court-A. L. Cramb.
Treasurer-J. A. Moosbrugger.
Register of Deeds-J. NJ. Emmei.
Surveyor-Samuel Chute.
uperintendent-L. ]. Rocholl.
Coroner-Dr. A. c. L. Ramsey.
Court Commissioner-W. Boulton.

will not have smooth sailing. John
Hammered will be an independent candi-
date for sheriff, Z. P. Barnum for Auditor,
Capt. Taylor for Attorney, DR.. Schmidt
for Coroner and P R. Griebler for Treas
urer. The fun hasn't commenced yet

New York via Washington.

One of the most delightful routes be-
tween Chicago and the East is over the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to New
York, by the way of Washington. The
trip possesses many peculiar charms,
especially to one whose journeyings have
meyer taken him to the border OF the
sunny Southland. The ridge through
Monongahela valley, across the noun
tains of West Virginia, and then along
the gently flowing Potomac, awakens
keen interest in the lover of natural
scenery. Much of the ground traversed
has unique historical associations.
large part of this region was debatable
land at the time of the civil war. Across
these fields and down along these dusty
roads once marched now the Blue and
now the Gray, These valleys once rang
with cheers, now for the Stars and
Stripes, and now for the Stars and Bars.
These mountain heights more than once
echoed the sounds of deadly conflict
Here General Lees army crossed the Po-
tomac on that carefully planned invasion
of Maryland and Pennsylvania in which
he corraled the Federal forces in Harper's
Ferry and compelled them to surrender.
And here at Harper's Ferry is still seen
the old brick fort where John Brown
took his stand in defiance of the slave
holding power. To one who remembers
when these names were first written in
blood, what an excitement of feeling the
mention of them aroused; Antietam
Sharpsburg, South Mountain, Shenan-
doah, Harper's Ferry, Balls Bluff. 1t is
no ordinary experience to pass through
region fraught with such tragic men,
cries. The train hurries on; and soon
there is seen dimly in the distance white
marble shaft, and then a great white
dome, and then other pinnacles and
spires, and Washington is reached.
Even the most cursory glance at the
city is sure to be profoundly impressive.
A half hours drive through the streets
will reveal more clearly than any detail
ed description possibly can, those fea-
lures which have given the city it's repu-
tation and made it, in one sense, the
Mecca of all patriotic citizens of this
country. The capitol building, that en-
bodiment of national majesty, the Wash
ington monument, with its lofty reach
heavenward, the White House, with its
deeply interesting associations, the sew
eral department buildings in their mass
i've stateliness, the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, the Soldiers Home, the broud av-
enues and beautiful parks.-it does not
take long to view these, outwardly at
least; and the viewing of them for the
first time, by one who recalls what these
public buildings stand for and the scenes
which they have witnessed, is attended
with emotions not exactly described.
New York is about six hours ride from
Washington, and the road runs through
very interesting stretch of country,
touching at Baltimore, Wilmington and
Philadelphia. This is one of the finest |
sections of railroad in the world. the
speed of the trains often reaching over
sixty miles an hour Northwestern

HOTEL BROADWATER AND NATATORIUM.
The western traveller will find one of
the most attractive points of interest at
the Helena Hot Springs and Hotel Broad
water near the City of Helena, Mont,
on the line of the Northern Pacific R. R.
The buildings and grounds are located
about three miles from the depot of the
N. P. R. r. in Helena, 1920 feet above
the level of the sea, in the heart of the
Rocky Mountains; surrounded by inn
posing mountain peaks and favored by
nature with an invigorating climate.
The hotel and surroundings were com.
pleted and opened to the public during
the year 1889, at a cost of $35O,OOO.
The Natatorium building is undoubt-
eddy one of the finest on this continent,
with a tank 800 feet long, $50 feet wide
and inclosure under 10000 square feet
of colored glass; fed by stream of nat
ural boiling hot mineral water tempered
for bathing purposes. The plunge and
swimming bath is one of the finest in the
world, and has remarkable properties.
The hotel itself, both in furnishings and
service is of a very high standard. The
average rate per day is $3.50. Parties
can take motor line from N. P. depot in
Helena direct to the grounds and reach
the hotel in 80 minutes, fare cents, or
bv carriage, fifty cents for each person,
We can state with the utmost confidence
that a personal visit will prove an ad-
dltional pleasure to a trip over the N.
P. r. r. For rates of excursion tickets
to Helena and other prominent Montana
points, or any further information rela-
tive to the Hotel Broadwater and Helena

Mr.. EDITOR: 4 write to say amen

Settler has struck the key note.
Sound it loud and long, my brother.
Let it be heard to the mountains and
from one end of the State to the other.
Again l say amen. Let it become a
State law; justice cries aloud for it,
and you will not find a man In any
section of the State who expects to
make any progress or improvement
on the old way of farming but what
will agree that the stock law would
be of more real benefit to the farmer
than any law that could possibly be
given to the people of the State. l
do hope that some man will have
back bone enough to introduce this
measure in the Legislature and l
hope there will be farmers enough In
the Legislature who understand the
needs Of the people to put it through.

but let it go into effect twelve or

ity but to the whole people as State.
But the investigation pertinent to
this important matter is the question.
Formulating a plan which will be
most successful, practicable, just and
satisfactory in bringing about the de-
sired Improvement will require earnest
thought and consummate skill Our
present system is based in the main
on personal service. This is manifest
ly unjust can see no just reason
why property should not be taxed as
we'll as the poll to keep up the roads;
neither do [ see why healthy man
of forty six years of age should not
work the roads as we'll as his neighbor
who is only forty five. The roads
should be kept up by all classes who
use and enjoy them.
After reflection, [ would suggest
that every abIebodied man that has
nothing but his head be valued at,
say, $500 or ST., 900 as the exigencies
of the case might require them, let
every $500 or $1,000 of taxable
property contribute a like amount
either in la Dor or it's equivalent in
money. The machinery necessary to
put this scheme in execution need not
be complicated. Have good over
seers and pay them and hold them re
sponsible for the faithful discharge of
the duties imposed and the execution
of the law. l do not see how any
one could oppose this plan, as every
one would be only required 10 con

others. T. II. CHRISTIE.

GIN TIME OF Pc ACE, PREPARE
FOR WAR"

The owners of vineyards and orch,
ards as soon as all the leaves have
fallen should carefully rake the leaves
into small piles and burn them. Ali
the shrunken, dried up fruit on the
vines and trees should also be removed
and cast into the fire, These shrunken
fruits and most of the 1allen leaves
contain vast numbers of the winter
spores of the fungimildew, bla;k rot,
anthracnose and scab which may have
caused such a loss the past season.
Farmers should also clean up their
fields soon after Christmas and burn
all the trash and weeds in fence cor
ners. These trash piles harbor nox-
ious insects, weed seeds and fungi. 1t
is much cheaper to destroy them now
than to fight them next summer

valuable paper and expect to be as long
as it champions the peoples measures
in such bold and fearless style. l
don't see how any American citizen
can do without such papers. Up to

The election is over so far as judicial,
congressional and county matters are
concerned, but the most important
battle of all for US, the people, is to
take place between now and January.
In case you should be misled by
what | may have to say, will say
that l never voted any other than a
Democratic ticket in my life and am
no aspirant for any Office. | have
been as great an admirer of Hon. z
B Vance as any heather worshipper
ever was of his idol, but when a man
attempts to slay the goose that has
laid the golden egg, l think it is time
for the old goose to get out of thu
way or put him out of the way.
There went more than 1900 petitions
to Senator Vance from his constituents
asking him to support the Sub Treas
ury bill. What did he say in his let.
ter to President Carr "In my
opinion it is unconstitutional." " DID
be think because he was Vance that
the people would take a mere opinion
of his like that and say: " Well, he
knows more than all the hayseeders in
the United States" The time has
been when they would, aud when |
glance around me in our section and
see who favors his return to the u S.
Senate, l should say if he was to re-
turn that things have not changed,
that the people, =. e. the masses have
no voice in public affairs. Not hardly
a man in this section favors his return
except professional men, merchants,
cross road politicians and editors. |
