A BOHEMIAN subscriber writes: "You
are right in calling attention to the lot
terry swindles and In urging the suppress
sion Of newspapers containing them.
Keep up the fight. Doesn't our state
constitution absolutely prohibit lotteries
in Montana?"
Yes, the constitution absolutely pro-
hibits the chartering of lotteries in Mon
tana, but as there was no organization
of the legislature last winter no law was
passed enacting penalties against the
publishers of lottery advertisements. OF
course our people intended their consti-
tutional enactment to shut out every
form of this pernlcious evil, but as there
are no penalties prescribed Us yet pub
fishers who are not particular about little
nice distinctions take the money of the
robbers and laugh at the law. Thus it
happens that we see the curious spec
tacle of the president of the United
States urging the passage of law pro-
hibiting tho sending through the mails
of newspapers containing lottery adver-
tisements while his only son is publish
ing one of the most fragrant offenders in
this direction.

Ir the esteemed Journal would investi-
gate the facts in relation to the pur-
chase of the First ward school site, in
stead of allowing itself to be stuffed oy
parties in interest, it would discover
that the attempt to mislead the public
into the belief that The INDEPENDENT
was actuated by political motives in it's
comments will not work, If it is true
that the trustees bought ground in part
of one of their own number, at price
far above it's market value, when the
same property was listed on the books
of real estate agents at a much lower
price they have been guilty OF most
scandalous conduct. We intend these
remarks to apply to every member of
the board who had anything to do with
the purchase, whether republicans, dem
ocrats OF mugwumps. II the taxpayers
have been unfairly dealt with let us
have the bottom facts. The trustees
cannot afford to let this matter rest
where it is.

THE DECOLLETE DRESS.

\ In the Forum for August Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps takea up the cudgels
against the low-necked dress in way
scalculated to give rise to lively discus
sion Of that much abused article Of FEM
..inine attire. She throws down the
gauntlet at the very outset in this fash
l.ion:
that decent women have never dressed SO
indecently in our country and our century
j as they do in fashionable life today.
Would that some enterprising journal
might take the mora. census of this subject
as substitute for prize baby competitions
or guesses on Nelly BLY,. We should like to
throw down the gauntlet to the women of
America. Defend these immoralities.
Speak up for yourself if you can!' lido not
believe two reputable women in the land
would dare publicly to defend the styles of
undress which now disgrace our sex. The
time has more than come for such a protest
against this abomination as will smite

TAKING Carter at his word, Gen.
Charles Warren, of Butte, proceeds to
nominate Mr.. Albert j. Seligman, OF
Helena, as tho republican candidate for
congress. That would be an interesting
nomination and would afford lots of
room for conjecture as to the outcome
of the contest. We would like to have
the views of the esteemed Inter Noun
tain, however, before fully committing
ourselves to Mr.. Seligman's candidacy.

ELECTRIC POSSIBILITIES.

THOSE who regard the project OF
bringing electric power to Helena from
the Missouri river as in the nature of
bold experiment, instead of a perfect
" feasible undertaking, will be interest
ed in q statement in the Age of Steel as
to the practical results of similar enter
prlses. According to that journal the
census of 1880 placed the number of
water wheels operating as motive power
in the United States at 54,4O4. This
tally represented total Of l,225,379
horse power. The later pksociation Of
water power with electri motors has de-
veloped source Of foIkb that is destined
to be Of eminent SER ice in industrial
life. It has been conf pted on the best
data obtainable that the rivers and
streams Of this 9ghntry averaged
throughout the yeAr over 2oO,ooO,OO0
horse power. The electric utilization of
this power opens field OF magnificent
opportunities. The Niagara project is
in correspondence with the possibilities
Of this new energy jim motive power. In
Rochester, kearhey and Spokane Falls
we have practical examples of its use.
The lpMer falls Of the Genesee river are
utilized by the Rochester Brush
Electric Light company, and il
has 500 motors already in active
service. It furnishes power to 108 tailor
shops, charging at the rate of Sl8 pei
!, annum for one eighth horse power. Far

rate for two-horse power is $l2O per an

the moral standard of womanhood
Listen to her as she inveighs:

the moral standard of womanhood.
Listen to her as she inveighs:
There is an indescribable expression in
the eye-every fine observer knows it
which distinguishes modest girl from a
matron. Look for it in the eyes OF our
girls to-day. It is missing so often; it is re-
placed by another SO unwelcome, so world.
ly-wise, so unpleasantly experienced, that
we shrink with a sense Of having lost the
most precious thing in girlhood. II is not
orr purpose to prove here that the lax the
atrical view of life is largely responsible for
this, but only to ask, by the way, how far
it may be responsible. Better, like the Pur-
itan lady. to shut the eyes when the ballet
comes! Better simple, serious, unworld-
ly ignorance of the low and vicious coming
in the name of the high and cultured; bet
ter, thousand fold, the instinct of modes
ty which cannot see coarse sight, than the
cool, Indifferent ungirl-like familiarity
with criminal suggestions which is now the
fashion among us.
It is to be feared that the very excellent
parents who compose our ''select circles
have no more intelligent idea of the amuse-
ments affected by the ''set'' with whom
their sons and daughters disport them
selves, than they have Of the entertain
ments Of factory holiday, or fireman's
picnic.
A lady reared in the traditions of high
birth and gentle training of generation
ago, has certain exquisite innocence, her
self, like an ideals girl, which prevents her
from approaching the perils of her child
zen. She who would have thought it a
moral lapse to allow young man, without
right, to hold her hand; she whose lips were
never touched by man until she gave them
to her plighted lover; she who went to her
husband as unmarried as an ideal in a
dream does not readily perceive or accept
the conditions Of lowered moral standard.
Is it not enough to be lady? Is not my
girl the daughter Of her mother? Read
your girls eyes, you lovely lady Of tho
Brahman birth, and sweet soul. Question
her. She may return you the clear, heaven
ly look of the heart Of your own high
youth, and heaven bless her! Far DO it
from me to mutter and croak, as if mod
est maid were an extinct curiosity. But, if
she has passed from under your shelter and
beyond your standards; if she has been
what we call "gay;'' If she has tossed good
deal in the foam of young peoples frolics,
if she has had some mock of a chaperon, or
none at all; if she has sat in the parlor
alone till midnight with young man once
too often; if, in short. she has drifted on
the current of existing social streams
question her; question her.
This is very serious indictment. Is
it true? Is the picture overdrawn?
Ward McAllister in recent article
ably defends the decollete dress from an
artistic and social point of view. Let
us hear from someone versed in the
ways of society on the moral side Of the
question.

rounds with four-ouL ce gloves. These
gloves. a. exhibited ir the windows
offs sporting paper, were smaller than
ordinary gloves and were. tbinned
around the knuckle@. These gloves,
the inspector thought. were certain TO

gloves were ordinary boxing gloves;
that the contest was tn be strictly 10
accordance with the Queensberry
rules; that no breach of lav was in
tended, and that the police had been
duly apprised Of the match. He said
the police had been incitsd to pake
the arrests by jeslous enemies Of the

thst the police had been melted. He
said nobody outside of the authorities

police to produce the gloves before A.
