The Mckinley bill is from beginning
to end an exclusively party scheme, de-
liberately, infexibly and irresistibly
forced upon the country by disciplined
and terrorized congressional majority,
at the behest Of wealthy industrialists
who, in consideration of this service
rendered, have contributed funds and
influence for carrying the elections in
the interest of the party now in as
tendency, or more correctly of certain
party leaders. 1t will stand upon the
statute books as the grossest and most
corrupt exercise of legislative power
ever perpetrated in the history of the
country, and as the signal monument Of
n point of departure at which wealth
and corrupt politics joined hands in an
alliance for defeating public opinion in
the government of this nation.-New
York Commercial Bulletin (non- parti-
ean.)

are many who are annexationists at heart
and love England at the same time, but
who believe that close alliance between
Canada and the United States would be
to the advantage, not only of both par
ties to it, but to England as we'll. The
most common causes of dispute between
England and the United States would
be removed and a closer union estab-
lished between all the Anglo-Saxon peo-
pies. The discussion now going on across
the border will be watched with close at
tentlon on both sides of the Atlantic. It
is one of the greatest political move
ments this generation has witnessed.

A WOMAN's WILEs.
They Ensnare a Wealthy Young Man and
His Cash.

New YORK, Oct. 4.-Louis Bessant, young
medical student from Paris, whose folks are
said to reside in the Fsubourg st. German,
arrived in this city few weeks ago with
about $4,000, and has been since left
almost beggar. While in London he made
the acquaintance of a handsome young
American girl while she was attending
ing Covent Garden theatre with q
matronly woman. Bessant contin-
ued the acquaintance, meeting and
corresponding with the young woman, who
described herself as Blanche Richardson. a
graduate of Vassar college and resident of
Boston. Their intimacy became 60 close
professional studies, and at his oompanion's
solicitations came to America. He and his
fair prize took up flat elegantly furnished
in this city. They had been there only
few days when young man, who was in
troduced by Blanche as Cousin Harry"
Harry" on his second visit the young med
ical student became suspicious of his visitor,
who had succeeded in winning 800. The
next day BessanS went to Boston to
loook up the antecedents of his pretty
Vassar companion. He learned that Blanche
was graduate of Vassar and was member
of prominent family, but had fallen from
grace and left the hub to accompany we'll
known adventures to Europe last winter.
Bessant returned to this city with deter
mination to rid himself of Blanche and at
once return to his native land. This was
last Wednesday, but when the medical stu
dent arrived in this city and went to the
fiat he found to his dismay the place was
deserted and every article Of value removed.
With the clearing out of the fiat went, be.
sides all the furniture, his two trunks, con-
tanning almost 1000 and his clothes and
valuable papers. He visited, detective
agency, and the detectives learned that
Blanche had disposed Of all the furniture
and had her baggage checked
for San Francisco. To-day a dispatch
wasH received from the chief of
police of San Francisco announcing that
the woman had arrived there and was un-
der surveillance, waiting further orders.
Bessant evidenced dislike to order her ar
rest, explaining that if she would give up
his clothes and papers he would not prose-
cute her. He started for San Francisco at
once.

Worn by Constituencies scoundrel Who
Served Satan.
SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. "A sensational
breach of promise case Miss Annie Husa-
Doe against Rev. Peter Roberts, Of the Ply
mouth Congregational church) ended to-
day, with verdict of s., 600 for the woman.
The case has created tremendous stir here
for a long time past. Roberts is q graduate
of Yale, and while at New Haven seduced
the girl and then connived at criminal OPP
Grafton. He promised to marry her, but,
while she was ill he fled to Wales. The girl
followed, and he again promised to marry
her, and they came back to America; but
after he secured q pastorate here he abso-
lutely refused to carry out his promise.
Roberts attorney made overtures for set
Element, and once prohered 81 600, but the
girl would not accept. While negotiations
we're in progress Roberts married q most
estimable lady of this place. Finally the
girl brought suit, which resulted as above.
The deacons of Roberts church have been
upholding him in the matter for some time,
but think he will now be compelled to get
out. The evidence against him was very
damaging, and it is said Roberts has been
deceiving his counsel as we'll as the woman
and the church, for counsel presented no
testimony in defense.

CAR REEDS triumph in Maine, which
has led to premature presidential boom
in his interest, threatens to be his undo
ing. One Benjamin Harrison holds some
unexpressed views on the 1882 situation
himself. He has turned down Reeds
candidate for collector of customs at
Portland, Maine, and appointed a man
whom Reed opposed. The meaning OF
this invasion of the cars own home is
too PLAN to be mistaken. incidentally
it may be remarked that the new col
lector is one of James G. Blaine's bosom
friends.

BOTH WE'RE SCORED.

NJ. j. Hall, of Bozeman, Talks About
Democrats and Republicans.
NJ. j. Hall, of Bozeman, spoke to a very
audience last night in Good
Templars' hall, ON Grand street. He said
he hoped he might be able to say something
that would loosen some democrats or re-
third party. He said he was not here to
abuse any individual. Since attending a
meeting not long since where
the listeners were told that the republicans
we're the worst people in the world, while a
republican speaker few days later said the
democrats would ruin the government,
he felt now somewhat encouraged to speak
to people when he heard the parties abuse
each other so. There was no hope that
either of the old parties would take up this
question and make it the dominant issue,
therefore there was the need of q party that
would make it the dominant Issue.
All the agencies that have been working
for Temperance during the past years have
been powerless to stem the tide of death
rising. The only thing that can avail
against the saloon is party that will vote
it down. The republican party is silent
upon this great question, while the demo-
cratic party will not touch the matter. He
spoke of the labor party that is now be
fore the people and said he was in hearty
sympathy with it, but that party had left
out the corner stone of the safety of our
nation, and therefore must fall, for il
would not be long before the liquor inter.
ests would own it. The democrats were
put aside, for they pleaded guilty and il
was not worth while to waste time. The
republican party, therefore, was next to be
had ut hoo M ~
stance where that party had ever made
prohibition the issue, unless 1t was in Kan.
sas, or later in the Dakotas, and IN these
states they had been forced to take up thu
question, but they would not make it an
issue of the party now for they were ownee
by the liquor traffic and must have liquor
votes. Without these votes the party goei
down and the other party wins.
The only thing for temperance people Il
do is to join in a new party or this country
must 90 down. The best men in boil
parties will unite in new one and one o
the two remaining parties will be the llquo
party. He also spoke of the corrupt prac
tices used by political parties, and said thu
amount of vice and degradation that can
didates had to go through In pohtlca
canvass now was appalling. Tho prohibt
| ton party Was needed to purify politics.
If people expect that the legislature i
Montana will pass any laws for Sabbat!
Observance they must show strength enougl
] to compel the legislature to make such law
AZ We want, and that can only be done b,
| votes.
The speaker claimed that tho peopl
should be united by = new issue. The pro
| hibition party has . new ISSUE and has "a
| only new issue now before the people. Nj
Hall closed by stating the nature OF II
work and urging that all friendly TO "a
cause should help to s1stain the work. In
appeal was heartily responded to and MO
sum of money was realized to carry on eh
| work. Refreshments were served ana :,
pleasant social time was enjoyed BY gu
The meeting adjourned 70 unsst n ~

The obvious financial distress of Mr..
Russell Harrison's organ since one-half
of its revenues were cut of by the anti
lottery bill is really sad, but young Mr..
Harrison should strive to be cheerful in
the reflection that it is better to be right
than to be the son Of a president. Per

boodlers will come to the rescue before
many more pay days come around.

The opera house management announces
that the curtain will rise promptly at eight
o'clock Monday night and this will be the

that should meet the endorsement of the

Torrance requires three hours and IL
O'Clock is much better time for ending
than 1l:3O CT u O'Clock, as was the case
during the Clara Morris engagement. Pat

The air is now full Of reliable railroad
news. The newspapers of the Black
Hills may, If they are 80 disposed,
present their readers with much news
of interest in this direction which is
daily coming to the surface. There is
no longer any necessity for running
down doubtful rumors of the supposed
intention Of the d. < NJ. relative to the
building Of a line Of road through the
heart of the Black Hills. While the
building Of this road may not be especi-
ally beneficial to certain localities
bordering upon the Hills, 1t is, at all
events, a matter OF fact that the great
enterprise is already inaugurated, and
that a proper mention Of the important
fact by the local press Of the Hills, al q
matter Of news. cannot be reasonably
ignored. Reason would seem to demand
that reliable news Of thie important
character should take precedence over q
dull and insipid accornt Of q local cock

dictate that the gross earnings of the +.

by residents of the county business men
