that n var on newspaper reporters
regarding the information they get
about executive sessions is arrant nOn-
sense, and they do not hesitate to say
rs much. They know % the repOr-
tiers get the news of what trans
pires within the senate chambers
ponderous walls through which
assuredly no sound of human
voice can penetrate. More than
M senator now shouting down the
newspapers will be in n hurry to find
the reporters and give away all the
story of the secret session IL IL il one
in which the senator fancies he took an
heroic part. And thus the news leaks
out. No country yer suffered from
too wide public information regarding
the action of its Legislative body; at
any rate. not in times of peace.
That was a clever remark quoted by
the New York Tribune and made by Il
newspaper reporter who was asked one
day by a senator what had happened in
the secret session just closed. Il don't
think ought to tell YOU" said the re-
porter, ''even i'm the strictest conf
dence, for I hear it said that senators
are dreadfully leaky."

HE'S A GOOD MAN.

II. l.. Frank is "a iirst-rate man to
send to Washington in the interest of
Butte's federal building. lie will take
with him the statement of Duties pop
lation. business and resources. as pre-
sented mt the meeting of the board of
trade last Saturday night. That is an
honest and an impressive recital of the
city's n and expectations.
of course, when Mr.. Frank gets to
Washington he will find that the clamor
for public buildings exceeds the ability
of n government in any attempt to
meet the demand. Originally 1t was
proposed to devote, during n present
session, S5,OOO,OOO for federal buildings.
On the first day Of March the senate
had already voted away fOur-fifths of
this amount, and then it was discovered
that the general appropriations were
running far into the tens of millions
i'm excess of the estimates. Accordingly
a policy of vigorous retrenchment was
started. 1t WIN be remembered that
Montana, all told, represents only one
congressional district: so that, with the
policy of curtailment enforced. MIR. Car
ter would be i'm luck were he to secure
one building this year, or a liberal ap-
preparation toward one.
We do not suppose that Mr.. Carter
himself fancies that he can do more
than this: he will be entitled to com
pliment If, i'm the general slaughter of
proposed appropriations. he an save
the sum needed for one. If this turns
ont to be true. it will be for MIR. Carter
to name n town which shall be fay-
Ored first, since he is thus far tire states
I only representative in congress-. The
STANDARD has repeatedly expressed
the hope that. if it comes tn making
this choice, Mr.. Carter will he disposed
to prefer Butte, for h sufficient rea-
son that that city's claims to early
recognition are superior to those OF
| any other town in Montana.
The STANDARD begs Mr.. Frank tG
present its compliments tn Mr.. Carter
to congratulate him on the interest hs
has taken in MOntana's affairs and to
express to him the STANDARDS hope
that, when il comes tn the pinch. as il
doubtless will, ne may eel disposed t.
share the conviction that Butte ought
to get in first.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Frank will observe
what the STANDARDS special dispatcl
from Washington says this morning.

CALLING A Halt.

Quite Il breeze was raised i'll Il Rock
ford. ILL.,, sunday school last Sunday
when John NJ. Hart, one of the teach
ers, arose and aid il was his duty to
condemn n concert which the school
had given on the preceding Wednesday
evening. Ii appears that h pro-
gramme of the entertainment included
"a suspicious looking number entitled
.Cncle Sans Reception" Not having
taken an active part i'm the preparation
of the concert. Mr.. Hart was in doubt
as to what "Uncle SANS Reception"
might prove to be. Yet as Don as he
read the words on the programme he
mistrusted something wrong. His sus-
picions were heightened when he read
On and found h names of Il lumber
of young people appended beneath.
Altogether it had Il bad look. and Mr..
Hart felt i'll at ease.
When the curtain arose the full enor-
nifty of Uncle SANS Reception burst
upon MIR. Hart with such force that, as
he afterwards stated in his address to
the sunday school. he could hardly re-
strain himself from denouncing the
performance on the spot and ordering
il stopped forthwith. For young peo-
pie to assume parts in ordinary dia-
logue was treading upon dangerous
ground. but for sunday school children
tn dress mp in costume and come ont
OH a real stage with a curtain. "a row of
foOt-lights. a piano accompaniment at
certain points. ami all the other acces
series of Satan, went almost beyond
the bounds of belief. Mr.. Hart de
clared that "l'ncle ANS Reception
was "a play pure and simple,
and i'm further proof thereof he
drew attention to the fact that ii was
divided into two scenes. If il had been
!! ali in one scene it would still ave been
II play. although weak intellects might
not have discerned il. But it's division
into two scenes made the fact of its be-
ing a theatrical representation trans
parent to the dullest and the youngest.
1t caused MIR. Harris blood to boil with
righteous indignation to behold people
who professed to be good members of
the church sitting there complacently
enjoying "Uncle Sans Reception" a
production of the Evil One. Mr.. Hart
said the good book warned him to shun
even the appearance Of evil. and here
after he would never attend a sunday

When the pope appeared, carried above

Bear knelt and made the sign OF the cross.

In an Omaha church recently Sam
Jones shouted: AS there a man present
who ne yer spoke n cross word to his
wife," The %silence was becoming OPP
prcssivc. People looked here and there.
Every husband present wanted to get up
but didn't dare to. But hes dine that

moment later when a round-faccd. good
naturcd man rose from his seat. "Thank
God!' exclaimed Sam, ''therc Is one man

bland smile and said: "No, sir; l never
