Dana Gives His Dirk Another Turn.
From the New York sun.
TIE dinner Of the Reform Club, so called
at the Madison Square Garden las: night
was as fine a piece Of bumbug as has been
seen in New York for many day.
The invitation grudingly Offered TO Gov
ernor Hill was an invitation 10 attend and
be silent. The leader Of the Democracy oi
the Empire State. the Democrat who con-
tribuied more than any other man to the
glorious victory Of November, the man who
defeated Mckinley in Ohio, was to be ig-
nored, while the stuffed figure of the shirker
and skulker. the coward in the fight, the
selfish planner Of disaster, and The adorec
object Of the anti Democrats Of New York,
was hoisted into prominence
We congratulate Governor Hill on the un-
avoidabIe engagement which kept him away
from such performance.

GoyERxoR HnL was snubbed oy me
Tana Reform Club Of New York Tues
day night. That banquet was given by
the free trade enthusiasts who biindly
follow Grover Cleveland, and Hiii was
not invited to make speech because
thew feared thas he might want to DIVIDE
the honors with the ex-President. The
men who reioiced over the defeat OF Nc
Kinley should read the interview with
Congressinan-elect Warwick, wherein he
declared that but for the protection
speeches Of Governor Hill in his district
Mckinley would have been reelected.
II Warwick was saved from defeat in a
strong Democratic district by Democratic
protection speeches, wherein should free
traders take to themrelves the honor OF
defeating Major Mckinley?

IT seems that the call FOR National
conventirn at Cincinnati recently issued
by certain gentlemen purporting to rep
resent the farmers movement was not
authorized at least its authority is not
conceded. Instead of acquiescing in il,
the President Of the National Farmers
Alliance, Mr.. Polk, has decided TO call
committee meeting to talk over the ad-
visibility of a third-party movement.
This conference will be held at Washing
ton some time in February. II will be
composed Of the presidents Of the various
State Alliances.
That is the sensible way to proceed. A
few hare-brained men assuming the func-
tions Of absolute authority on a matter
80 important ought not TO be tolerated.
The farmers movement has several dis
tinct and independent organizations. The
Alliance over which Mr. Polk presides
does not have much strength in this
State or the Northwest generally. Il is
dominated certainly by its Southern ele-
ment, and that element is avowedly
Democratic "seven days in the week"
No third-party candidate for the Presi-
dency will be put in the field by the
Farmers Alliance unless the leaders
think il would benefit the Democracy.
That much is reasonably certain. The
organization was non-partisan in its
original purpose and plan, and il is so
still, in a sense but the Democrats Of
the South do not propose to let agricul-
tural considerations jeopardize their par
~ success. At the South, Democracy
simply means white supremacy, by fair
means If possible, by ioul If necessary.
That is IA purpose and policy to which
the lan1-owning and tilling element ad-
here's as rigidly as the townfolk. All
third-party movements al the South must
be consistent with this paramount con-
consideration.
At the North the fafmers are divided
in politics. There are a great many
stanch Democrats among them-hard-
listed, deep-prejudiced Jacksonians, car
ing little for Office, great deal for party.
There are still more Republican farmers,
quite rs steadfast and unsel6sh, and, as
rule, far more intelligent Win these
farmers Of the Northwest drop party
lines and join in a new political crusade ?
We doubt it. Perhaps an issue may
arise in National affairs which will in
dnce a formidable element TO 90 into 8
third-party movement, but that is inn
probable.
A great deal will depend upon the at.
titude Of the two regular parties toward
the distinctive demands Of the farmers
No little misapprehension exists as Ia
those demands. Especially is this true
in regard TO the so-called snb-treasury
plan. 1t is popular with the Southern
farmers, but it has not received the en-
dorsement Of the prairie farmers, and We
can not believe that it viii. Chimericsl
and perilous, il should be resisted and
defeated without counting the political
cost.-Chicago litter OreaH.

The Wages of Farm Hands.

Judge Albright, Of Allentown, has handed
down an important opinion regarding the
wages Of farm hands, as follows
The wages of employees on farm are not
entitled to preference under the act of 1872,
as amended by the Act of 1883, creating a
priority of wages As all the elaine here
are for work rendered about the business Of
farming. in some cases the nature Of the
business is not stated nor can ii be inferred,
there is no preference as TO claimant. The
Supreme Court has decided that to make a
wage claim good, it must state: First, that
the labor was performed within the time
limited by the act second, in a business
defined therein third, the sum due; fourth,
that the property subject to the preferred
claim is embraced in the levy. Under this
rule all the notices given TO the Sheriff in
the case are defective, except that of Martha
Sensinger. They cannot be allowed for
reasons already stated.
Il think the Legislature ought to amend
the law so as to put those earning wages in
farm work on the same footing as those en-
braoed within the said act Almost every
imaginable kind of wage earnings are in
cluded except farm laborers. The nature OF
the employment does not make farm laboreFs
less deserving than the others who are pre-
ferred. Oflen, perhaps usually, farm labor
ers are not paid as promptly at the end OF
the week, fortnight or month as most other
laborers are. For that reason they are liable
to lose more when their employer become.
insolvent, and consequently their claim fol
protection is the stronger. Insolvency 0
farmers is Of almost daily occurrence.
u am also of the opinion that the Legisla
ture ought to relieve from the strictness re
quired by the courts in the form of the MOTTO
to be given. As the law now stands hardl,
anyone not critically informed as to the iav
on this point can construe notice which
will be adequate. This is to be deplored. /

who are shout to be sold out are given
preference for wages earned within eli
months of the insolvency, and not exceedin
$500, bat after the notice has been given, th

The Southern Senators in fighting
against the Elections bill complain that
it will suppress the voice of the people
Ii would be interesting 10 have them ex'
plain how the voice of the people can be
more effectually squelched than it is nov
in the South, where the Legislatures ap-
point even the county commissioners and
sherifTs. II "locsl self-goyernment is the
popular government" as Senator Carlisls

Ex-GovERNORC CnARLEY FosTER, Of Ohio,

election. he had 1000 adverse majority

trict did the business for him by their
lukewarmness. In 1874 he was one of
the only six Republicans chosen from
Ohio. That Congress had only 1O6 Re

afterward, a Republican President was

A jury in the United States circuit court
yesterday declared that T. H. Kellogg did
not rob Uncle Sans mail bags at Silver
City, station just north OF Helena on the
Montana Central railway. The case ocou-
pied the time of the court all day, the jury
bringing in their verdict after five O'Clock.
Kellogg. who looks like man of about
thirty, was surrounded by his mother and
several female relatives. Mrs. Kellogg told
United States Attorney Weed during the
course of the trial that her boy would never
do such thing; he had been brought up
differently. and the jury thought so too.
The evidence of the prosecution was to
the effect that registered letter containing
$3.50 had been mailed last May at Gould.
addressed to the Union Mercantile COM
pany of this city. Mr.. Hillebrecht of that
company found that the letter had been
opened and the amount short by $40.
The government claimed that the only
place where the letter could have been
tempered with was at Silver, the only Of
fec between Gould and Helena on that
route. kellogg was the railroad agent at
Silver at the time, and the United States
attorney tried to show that the agent was
the man who had taken the $40 from the
tial in its character and left room for rea-
sonable doubt as to the defendants guilt.
Kellogg went on the stand in his own be-
half and denied everything charged in the
indictment. Testimony was also intro

CHIP Merrilrs Latest Caper.
William Merrill, the man who has fits so
frequently and causes SO much trouble
when in this condition, took another spasm
ut an early hour yesterday morning in the
Helena Brewery saloon. Merrill took out
two razors and dourished one in each hand.
He frightened I'LL the loungers out of the
saloon and chased them in body up Main
street. creating lively scene for q while.
He was finally caught in his mad career and
restored to quiet.
The police believe the man is insane and
dangerous character to be permitted to
roam at will. It requires the combined
strength of six men sometimes to hold him
down when he takes these spells.
