In BAD SHAPE.

None of the propositions tossed
back and forth between the members
of the rival houses at Helena come to
any good. There are a half dozen of
them which need not be summarized
here, as every reader of the STANDARD
knows what they provide. The fairest
and best way u of the trouble is one
that has not been much talked about i'm
Helena, but which would put a speedy
N effective end to all contest. That
plan simply is to have IN. election of
members from Silver Bow. upon the re-
tirement of the contestants now claim
ing to represent that county.
In all probability little will come of
the bantering at Helena. Few men
there have faith i'm the situation or
know how to find an exit out of trouble.
Politics il out of joint i'm Helena. The
astonishing conduct of Mr.. Richards
simply registers the depressing cOndi-
ton of the political atmosphere there.
Nothing that the Lieutenant-(;Overno
may do surprises us now: the only sur
pr Using feature of the situation is that
he "a do nothing which the Helena
Journal refuses to defend. Our high
opinion of that newspaper is assurance
to us that it is no proud of the work.
1t looks as if the Legislative machin-
cry al the capital were too far gone
ever to be got i'm running order again.
The best men at the capital are heartily
sick of the situation and want to turn
their backs on it. They spend their
days i'm idleI.ess at Helena, because 10y
atty to public service and to party COM
pels them, but the delays are irksOme
and some of these men, republicans
and democrats, seem inclined to give up
in disgust. Others. who are of smallest
account i'm plan or suggestion. are will

merely to draw six dollars u day. They
Jared royalty while aspiring senatorial
candidates wined and dined them, but
the champagne days of the contested
are ended and the situation will weary
even these before long. There are no
signs of compromise or agreement and,
unless a special election were ordered,
we may expect all propositions to fail,
while the interested ones will keep their
eyes ixed on Washington.
Meanwhile there are two very large
grains of cOmfOrt for the average citi-
zen, first, the legislature has disposed
of the men who kept the state in con-
fusion, and who must now fight it out
in Washington. In the second place,
live. and move, and have a being with
out a legislature. Ii only the Blue
Bird could run again and the fires in
the Anaconda be put out, this part of
the state would be willing to give every
man of them at Helena a long vacation
with promise of liberal extensions.

DECLINE OF THE WALTZ.

The news comes from Vienna to the
New York Tribune that the waltz is

nave been introduced of late years, the

cases to four ungainly hops, and in
others to q couple of shutting slides.
In America these imitation waltzes,

become very popular in many cities,
h dancing public deceiving itself into
believing hat they are an improve

original waltz. But IL the dancers will
stop long enough to analyze their feel

Herr Strauss describes these imita-

lie told a reporter, the other day, that
il the senate undertakes "a full inquiry

the inquiry may not be concluded until

posed, at one time, that ifthey managed
to worry through any sort of a legisla-
ture, the federal senate would take
them r. light i'm as u matter of course.
