Getting at the Facts IN Mo ntana.

| The republican claimants from Montana
TO seats in the Senate have been boosting
I that they would not have much difficulty II
showing q al they are the rightful senator's
from that state. They depend wholly upon
returning boaris for success, believing that
the Senate viii not g behind those boards
70 find on; what the facts are. Il now looks
as if the Senate would have to go behind
tho returning boards, however much i.
might be disposed not to do 50.
Those who are familiar with the
Montana complication know that it
is wholly due to one precinct in
Silver Bow county. Tha. precinct is
No. 81 Il gave tie democratic ticket lGs
majority, which was Sufficient to elect ten
democrats 20 the legislature from Silver
Bow county. These ten gave the democrats
majority cf tho legislature. The canvass
ing board, composed of republicans,
threw out tins votes in precinct
"a on The ground that fraud
had been committed there. The loss of that
precinct gave Silver Bow county to the re-
publicans, and made the legislature repub-
lcaD. The democrats have always as
serted, and no doubt Faithfully, that there
was no ground for throwing out precinct
81, and that the throwing it out
was q republican trick to get control of the
Legislature and elect republicans to the
United States Senate.
1t seems that the Office Of sheriff in Silver
Bow county was also involved in the action
of the returning board. The democratic
and republican claimants for that Office
carried their differences into court, and the
whole matter with regard 70 precinct 81
was gone into thoroughly. The decision
was that the canvassing board had no
ground for throwing out the vote of the
precinct, and that the democratic claimant
was entitled to the Office.
In the contest for the senatorshiD no
doubt great efforts will be made to prevent
any inquiry into the truth about precinct
"a. The republicans will insist that the
action Of the returning board must be re-
garded as final In view Of the fact, how
ever, that Montana court has decided that
the returning board exceeded Its authority
it is difficult to see now the Senate can
avoid going behind the returning board.
To refuse to do so would be virtual ad-
mission that the returning board acted cor
ruptly.
1t may be that the Senate is not so anx-
ious TO examine the respective claims of
those seeking admission TO seats in that
body from Montana rs it was before the
decision of the Montana court was rendered,
and that it will finally decide, as it at first
thought of doing, viz, to send all the claim
ants back to Montana with the understand
ing that the people of that state must decide
who are entitled to represent them in the
Senate. There is no probability that the
Senate will admit the democratic claimants,
however clear their right to seats may APP
pear to be

ARenarkahla Forrer-

Although New Jersey is noted for the
swiftness with which her courts administer
justice, she has, nevertheless, some remark
able criminals. Her steady-going people
have been startled within the last few DAYS
by reDorss OF NJ nervous remarkable forger-
les committed by q woman, who bore an
| irreproachable character until her criminal
acts were discovered. Her name is Mrs.
Julia Lirpincott. and she is the wife Of
Edwin Lippiucott, proprietor # Hadion
Hall, the hotel which the INST arisrocratic
visitors 20 Atlantic City, New jerseys
! greatest sea coast resort, patronize
Mrs. L;ppincott is said 20 be a woman Of
unusual business ability and force OF char
setter, and she brought those qualities to her
| aid in the transaction of her crooked finan-
cial operations.
For months past business men of means
in Atlantic City aud other places have been
repeatedly surprised By receiving notices of
notes being due of which they appeared to
be as either the maker or the indorser.
Investigation would show that these
notes had been forged by Mrs.
Lippincott. Mr.. Lippincott is
man Of undoubted probity, and the victims
of his wife's forgeries would confer with
him, and for time satisfactory arrange
ments would be made But finally the
notes became so numerous and the amounts
| involved so large that he could no longer
meet the demands upon him, and his strug-
gle to preserve the good name of his wifein
the end proved fruit!ess. Exposure came,
and with it tho full story of Mrs Lippin-
colts extraordinary swindling operations
When Mr.. Lippincott obtained his wife's
| confession he found that she had ruined
him financially. She had forged mort
cages, bonds, notes, and checks, with reck-
less impartiality. Friends, relatives. trade
men, acquaintance, and even faithful
servants and employees were not spared
Suits have been brought by banks, trust COM
panies, an d tradesmen in PHILADELPHIA and
Camden. and by scores of victims in At
lantic City and other points in New Jersey.
The full amount of the forgeries is not
known, but it is believed will reach or posi-
bly, exceed 100000
One of the curious features Of the affair
is that while Mrs. Lippincott confessed her
guilt to her husband, she will not tell what
she did with the money she secured by her

lost money in stock speculations which sac
tried to recover by other speculations, the
money for which she obtained by forgeries,
but became more and more deeply involved,
and, finally, throwing discretion to the
winds, obtained money in any way she
could.
The affair is without parallel 1t would
seem impossible for any one to conduct such
transactions for SO long a time without
discovery, but for woman to have done
so is most remarkable.

Breath of song.


Frank Dempster Sherman, in the Independen
From the minister's organ loft,
Floating down the Swallowed nave,
Comes strain of music soft,
railing as weary wave
Falls upon the beach of sand,
Murmurous and sweet and bland,
Bearing from the mighty sea
Messages of melody.
There. alone, the organist
Let's his listless fingers go
Lost in melodiouS mist
Ger the keyboard, to and fro;
There, half dreaming, in the gloom,
Sits the weaver at his loom,
weaving with the threads of sound
Muslc-woof the warp around.
All unconsciously he hides
Strains familiar in his theme
When master spirit glides
Through the doorway of his dream:
Mozart, Handel, Chopin, or
Harmony's great coniuror-
Rapt Beethoven each is part
OF the dreaming players heart.
So the Poet dreams, nor needs
Who may listen, who may hear;
Following where Fancy leads
She alone to him is dear;
Omar, Keats, Theocritus,
In his voice may speak to us
From the realm of ages dim
These are in the heart Of him!
Poets in the fields of Time.
Since the world began, have sown
Wide the precious seeds of rhyme
And to us to-day are blown
Odors from these poem-howers-
Seedlings of the later hours
Blossoming the fields along,
Breathing the sweet breath of song.

Worlds Fair Prosnects.

1t now looks as if the worlds fair would
be held in 1892, and in New York city.
Those who were fighting in New York
for the control of the worlds fair funds.
having found out that they could not hav q
just what they wanted, and that public
sentiment was strongly against them,
finally agreed to take what they could get
Boss Platt will not be able to make a politi-
cal machine out of the fair, as he hoped to
do, if New York gets it, and the chances
are that If fair is held it will be managed
wholly in the interest of the country.
Boss Platt and his organs now pretend
that all he aimed to do was to prevent the
Iammany Society from getting control of
the fair, and he declares that he succeeded
in doing that. Nobody cares enough about
the matter to dispute his claim to that
achievement. All that New Workers are
anxious about now is the vote the House of
Representatives will take on Monday next
on the question of the location of the fair.
Their representatives will do good deal of
hard work before the vote is taken, and
there is reason to believe that their work will
be successful. OF course local pride has &
good deal to do with determining in the
minds of the majority of people the ques-
ton as to where the site of the fair should
be, but the conmon-sense view is that it
should be in New York, and there it will be
if congress is guided by the strongest
reasons
