There was "a stormy time in the

question the democrats refused to
vote. and made the point OF no quo
rum. Speaker Reed. however. counted

Then pandemonium did break loose.

precedents for his ruling. the chief OF

president of the New York state

three days, with exciting scenes NJ
frequent intervals. Ii this ruling had

Even the Presbyterians ''do move"
At least some oi them do. The ques-

The Supreme Court OF the state in a
very lengthy decision has decided the
Thompson mandamus case, by grant
ing II peremptory writ ordering the
State Auditor to allow Thompson :
bill for mileage and per diem. Thomp-
is republican member OF the Legsla-
ture from Silver Bow county, being
one OF the five elected by throwing out
the tunnel precinct. The Court goes
into the question of the certificates
and sustains the position OF the
republicans that certificates from the
State Canvassing Board are the only
prima facie evidence of membership in
the Legislature. This settles theques
ton as to the validity OF certificates
issued by the State Canvassing Board,
as there is no appeal from the decis-
ion. 1t does not shed any light on the
mystery connected with precinct "a,
and we doubt very much whether that
matter will ever be thoroughly inves-
tigatetl. There is also no probability
of any legislation being enacted at this
session as "a few more days will end
its life.

Saws the Herald:

See what the plan OF giving each
county one senator has done. There
are just sixteen counties and conse-
quently sixteen senators, making pos
sible the provoking political tie in the
upper house OF the state Legislature.
Had the Constitutional Convent ion
made the senatorial apportionment
on a representative basis, as it should
have done, the Montana deadlock
might never have been heard OF.
White blackb,rds are not often seen.
II so happens the two parties are
evenly divided in the state senate.
But the senate alone cant accomplish
anything in the way of legislation.
Had the Herald and its party trusted
to Lewis and Clark. Deer Lodge and
Silver Bow tor majority OF state
senat ors, they would have been hope
lessly ''in the soup at present instead
OF holding the high cards. Besides all
the rest OF Montana would have been
compelled to pay homage, and seeks
favors in humility OF three or four
large counties. They could have die
tated and controlled the legislation OF
the entire state. They would, as is
now self-evident, named the United
States senators for all time to come.
Its case OF hog in the human being.
The senate is more judicial than repre-
sentative, destroy this function and
there will be no reason Tor its exist
ence The senate could be dispensed
with altogether. Time was when state
senates were composed of superior
men, both as regards brains and char
aeter, but they are fast desenerating
into small bore politicians, who would
.'sell their birthrieht for a mess of
potage."
